The "Review of Reviews" London
and New York. has fine number for
November. Not greater or better than
before, but still a most excellent issue for
variety, illustration, and especially for its
treatment of the case of Mrs. Nlaybrick.
Its chief article on this subject is, ''OughU
Mrs. May brick to be Tortured to Death?'
The American public has heard a good
deal about the circumstances under which
Mrs. Maybrick was convicted in Liver
pool, where she is now slowly dying in
prison. The controversy over her case
has risen almost to the dignity of an Off
cial International question. Mr.. Stead,
the English editor of the ''Review of Re-
views" has now undertaken to investi-
gate the matter, and comes out with
strong article, taking the American side
of the case. He shows that Mrs. May
brick was condemned on insufficient evil
dence, and that her treatment is a scandal
upon the name of English justice. Mrs.
MAVERICK is a young American woman,
highly connected in this country, and her
cause has been stOuuy championed by
Mr.. Blaine and all the leading people at
Washington.
"Short Stories" appears as a special
Christmas number, and with creditable
enterprise the editors have illustrated the
text with many pretty half-tone cuts and
clever outline drawings by Well-known
but serve admirably to emphasize the
more important incidents and characters
of the stories. The tales given in this at
tractive number are of exceptional inter
est, and among the authors are such we'll
known writers as Frank Stockton, John
Strange Winter. Alphonse Daudet, Henry
Harland Sidney Luskaj, f. Anstey and
Mary Cecil Hay. The 'Short Stories"
competitions continue 10 attract attention
among readers Of this magazine. The
Christmas number completes the tenth
volume. The Current Literature Pub

graphic excellence and gem in its ex-

lovers it is quite as valuable, for it is filled
with matter relating to books in all their
styles of binding, in their history as re-

| tration, their care, preservation and so
on. 1t is ably edited, and is replete with
news of progress, discovery and art in all
| matters relating to the printing art and
publishing business. (WiIliam NJ. Pat
