Thanksgiving story, and the one this
year, "The Inn of the Good Woman"
is striki 81 original sketch by Heze

more Woolson's second paper on
"Cairo in 1890" graphically portrays
the life of the Egyptian capital as it is
at the present day. Walter Besont's
series of illustrated papers on London
is continued in an Accordingly inter-
ting account of life, manners and
customs of the people who lived in

THE most striking article in the Ne,c
England Magazine for November is
he initial article on The Home and
Haunts of LOWELL" by Frank B. San
born, the last of the Concord philoso.
piers. DR.. s. r. Dennen, ID, con-
tributes an od-fashioned homily on
home. Another interesting and finely
Illustrated article is "Tne Start from
Delf1haven," by Rev. Daniel Van Pelt.
George Leonard CLANCY contributes an
article to the N W South series on
Atlanta, and new writer, Jennette B.
Perry, has story, "Dr. Cabot's Two
'irains," in which science and son'i-
rnent are agreeably mixed. Profe ssor
Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard Uni
versity explains, at this somewhat late
ay, "Why the South WAS Defeated in
he Civil War" The article is inter-
csting, however.
THE opening paper in Scribner'S
Magazine for November is graphic tale
of" Explorations in the Sierra Madre,' -
hy Gail Lumholtz. N poleon Ney,
-randson of the great marshal of France,
contributes the first adequate account
in English of "The Proposed Trans.
Saharian Railway" Alfred Deakin
gives concise review of the whole
movement for "The Federation of
Australia" which is now being holly de-
hated by the various provinces of that
country, and George Hitchcock lets us
peep at Holland from an artists point
of view in his paper on the Figures

1.-THE Ocean Steamship as a Freight
Carrier" by John II. Gould, gives us
an idea of the great lines of steamers
which seldom appear in print, but are
commercially more important than the
fast steamers of which so much is writ
ten. Scribner's has lost none of its
old-time vigor.
IT is difficult. in small space, to tell
of the good things which Harper &
Brothers have prepared for the fall
trade. Harper'S Weekly still continues
the foremost weekly journal of civiliza-
ton, while Hdrper's Bazaar and Har-
per's Young People lead in their sepa-
rate fields. Among books just issued
or impending, are "Studies in the
Wagnerian d ama," by Henry E Kreh-
biel; "The Spanish American Repub.
lic," by Theodore Child: "The War
wickshire Avon" Shakespeare land
by A. T. Quiller-Couch; Literary
Landmarks of Edinburgh" by Law
renee Hutton; "The collected Writings
and memories of the late Field Marshal
Count Hemuth Won Moltke." The
cries of papers running in Harper's
Magazine under the title "Tne Come
dies of Shakespeare, with Illustrations
by Mr.. E. A. Abbey, and Comments
by Mr.. Andrew Lang" are delightful
contributions TO current literature.
