St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-06-19
IN THE MAGAZINES.

1t is quite the fashion just nov for
magazines to make feature Of one long
story which is complete in single
Issue. Godey's has taken mp the fad,
and in the July number publishes
very readable story in the popular vein
of semi supernatural experiences,
called "a Fact in Fiction" by Albert p.
Southwick.
The Fortnightly Review for June is
fully up to the standard of excellence
that this magazine has established for
itself. Such contributors as the veh-
cradle Archieacon Farrar, Prof. Oliver
Lodge, | lady Jeun aid Ange Goldman, all
OF whom have papers IN this number,
would be sufficient to sustain the repu-
talion of even less firmly established
magazine than this. The paper on
Drink and Crime" by Archdeacon
Farrar. is an exhaustive treatise on this
much talked-of subject. The drink
traffic in Englsnd is not left with leg
to stand on. Some of the advocates OF
total abstinence may take heart when
they have such trenchant pens on their
side as this. LII her paper, The Poor
ChiIdren's Holiday" Lady Jeun talks OF
the causes that operate TO keep the poor
of cities in them and deepen their dis
like to country life. She looks to the
modern chlldren'S holiday trips to the
deal of this dislike. The work that she
reviews is that done by the 'children's
holiday fund" And i'll speaking of the
discouragements encountered by the
women who have this fund III charge,
she cites the dislike older young people
have for what they call ''the dizziness of
country life." With younger children
this is not to be found. Those who
have gone oftenest to the country and
made the longest stays are the ones who
are the most eager to go again. She
thinks that in this love for country
life in children she sees hope for the
future of parents, because 1t is we'll
known Iact that parents Will do for
children things that no amount OF good
to themselves will ever induce them
to do II. NJ. Stanley contributes
some "African Legends" We have
natives of the Dark Continent
as little above the apes who swing in
the trees of their jungles. but If these
legends are of their folk lore they show
higher grade OF mental ability than
even their best friends in the white
mans land has ever claimed 0r them.
One of the legends tells of tie creator
of man. Running through this an
Gent legend" says Mr.. Stanley, us
q kind of moral ADVICE to the head
strong and rash, that they should
submit to the wise and old rather
| than follow their own impulses, bid
| ding man remember his humble ORR
| gin and tragic fall, which this legend
attributes to the conceit and rashness of
| the toad. though he had been solemnly
warned by the moon OF the conSe-
| quenceS."
