Scribner'S Magazine for November
contains several notable illustrated arti-
cles on countries that are little known
to American Notwithstanding the
first of several papers by Carl LumholtZ
(the author of Among Cannibals') on
his explorations in the Sierra Madre.
His expedition is conducted under the
auspices of the American Museum of
Natural History of New York and the
American Geographical society, and the
results will first appear in Scribner's
Magazine. There is also striking pa
per by Napoleon Ney. the grandson of
the great marshal of France. OH the
proposed Trans Saharian railway, which
the French government has approved.
NJ. Ney was member of the government
commission, and is fully qualified to
write on the subject. Alfred Deakin,
one OF the most influential political
leaders in Australia. writes of the great
federation movement i'll that country,
which bears so many points of reSem-
blance to the founding of this republic.
Another Illustrated article is "rhe
United States Naval Apprentice Sys-
tem," by Lieut.. A. 3. Wyckotf, U. S.
NJ. who describes the present system,
and pleads for such an enlargement of
it as will lead to the thorough Ameri-
canization of our navy, where, at pres
ent, the sailors are often composed of
the ''dregs of all nations" George
Hitchcock, the American artist who
lives in Holland. writes third paper
OH The Picturesque Quality of Hol-
land, 'thiS time treating Of Figures and
Costumes, and illustrating his points
with his own drawings. A sixth article
IN the Ocean Steamship series is John
IL. Gould's description of the ocean
Steamship as Freight Carrier" An
drew Lang gives another instalment of

an entertaining paper by Harvard

adventurous voyage among the South
Sea islands after the mysterious wreck.
There is also short story by Octave
Thanet. and poems by Duncan Camp
bell Scott, w. V. Moody, Julian Haw-
thorne, and others.
Decked in new and unusually ar
tistic Thanksgiving cover, the November
Ladies' Home journal comes as the first
reminder that the holidays are APP
preaching. Everything about this issue
of the journal seems of the best, and a
higher standard has never been reached
III any previous number. Whether one
reads Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher's sec
Ond reminiscent paper of ''Mr. Beecher
As | Knew Him." or listens to Delmon-
leo, the great caterer, as he tells how
to set table aud arrange dinner; or
to Russell Sage, the New York finan-
cier, as he describes, for mothers, 1.-The
Boy That Is Wanted' in business to-
day-each feature is as good as
the next. A whole page most
timely illustrates "a Group of Pretty
Dolls" and tells how to make them:
New Ideas for Church Sociables" will
interest thousands of church women;
Max O'Rell's wife is sketched in the
capital series of Unknown Wives of
Well Known Men," while Rachel Sher-
man, the pretty daughter of the late
General Sherman, opens the new series
OF Clever Daughters of Clever Mem;
Palmer CoX's Brownies" are irresist-
ible in their fun; Ella Wheeler Wilcox
tells of Mistakes We Make With Mem:
DIR. TalEage has whole page on
Thanksgiving, and likewise has Maria
Parloa; Miss French. of the State
Department" is all excellent story by
Mary Bradley, as is also another short
story called The Flowing Shoestring."
In fact, there Is no end to the good
in h. 20. lD<
of the journal ever made.
The most striking article in the New
England Magazine for November is tue
initial article on 1.-The Home and
Haunts of Lowell" by Frank B. San
born, the last of the Concord philoso-
pliers. Every nook hallowed by Low
ellis familiarity is remembered in this
pleasant paper, and the pen and ink
apd pencil drawings by William Good
rich Beal and Sears Gallagher do much
to strengthen the warm sympathy Gre
ated by the text. DIR. S. r. Dennen, ID.
d.. contributes an old-fashioned homily
on home. Another interesting and finely
illustrated article IS The Start from
Delfshaven," by Rev. Daniel Van Pelt.
The pictures by J. ii. Hatfield and
others of the quaint old Dutch town
are charming, and one wonders how
IiS vi lIduo COulU (lIdS themselves
away from such spot. c. S. Plumb
writes of "a Future Agriculture in
the strain of scientific exaggeratiou now
so popular with the Bellamy school of
seers. George Leonard Clancy con-
tributes an article to the New South
series on Atlanta. A new writer, Jen-
nette B. Perry. has story, 'Dr. Cabot's
Two Brains," in which science and SEN
timent are agreeably mixed. Prof. NJ
bert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard uni
versity. explains at this somewhat late
day "Why the South Was Defeated in
the Civil War;" The article is interest
ing, however; Mr.. Harris deductions are
much those which Southern students
arrived at some time since. The South
had less men, no supplies and depre-
ciated currency.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine has de-
voted twenty eight pages of the Novem-
Der number to a most interesting
and exhaustive article upon Chicago
