Der. Henry Cabot Lodge has thought
full article on immigration, based Oh
census statistics, arriving at the con-
elusion.now quite generally shared, that
this land of the free should more closely {
scrutluize our incoming population with
| view OF protecting society, from law
| less and pauper classes. The system
attic efforts of European governments to
unload their Objectionable classes upon
us is one which every desirable immi-
| grant will join in desiring to see
| thwarted. Bret Harte has story, "The
| Heir of the McHulishes,n in two parts,
the first being given in the September
issue. Sights at tue Fair" by Gustav
KoObe, is entertaining. and of course
the Midway Plaisance comes in for its
! share of criticism.
In the Atlantic for September the
reader finds standard literature char
acteristic of the magazine and of Bos-
ton. Its home. wildcat Banking in
the Teens" by j. b. McMaster, is
valuable history of early financial oper-
alton. Life Oh Prairie Farms is the
title of paper by E. V. Smalley, of st.
| Paul, editor of the Mort Invest Magazine.
Mr.. Smalley depicts the lonesomeness
OF the Northwestern prairie home in
style which all who are familiar with
the subject can appreciate. The paper
| appears entire elsewhere. A review of
Edwin Booth as an actor, by Henry A.
| Clapp. is another attractive paper.

Though the Cosmopolitan has cut its
price in twain, being now sold for l215
cents per copy, it has not deteriorated
either in matter or Illustration. 1t styles
Its September issue worlds fair num-
Der, and very appropriately So 1t is
the most elaborate review of the fair
yet attempted by any current publica-
tons. The Illustrations, ninety-siX in
number, are superb. The article, or
rather the series of articles, comprises
nearly 100 pages. It's divided in sec
tions-"First Impressions" by Walter
| BeSant; THE Foreign Buildings" by
| Price Collier; Manufacturers Build
ing" by George f. Kunz; 1.-The WOm-
ans Exhibit" by Ellen w. Hen
rotin; Foreign Folk at the Fair"
by Julian Hawthorne; Electricity"
by Murat Halsted; Transportation"
! by j. l.. Walker; "Mines and Metal
lurgy," by f. j. V. Skiff: Chicago En-
tertainment of Distinguished Visitors"
by II. c. NATURALIZATION; The Gov
eminent Exhibit" by F. #. Bckford;
"Ethnology," by Franz Boas, and
points of interest,"" by eX-President
Harrison. All of this is symposium
which can scarcely be estimated at
money value. Ten times the cost of the
magazine would be trifle as compared
with its real worth. Possibly it may be
| equaled-lt will not be surp assed.
The North American Review for
September is of exceptional merit, even
| Judged by the standard of its own SUI
perlor quality. The leading article is
on "The Political Situation," by ex-
Speaker Thomas 3. Reed, and is an able
! presentation in favor of the ideas of tine
| party of which he is bright and shin
ing light. Mr.. Reed handles his subject
| with marked ability and ingenuity, and
although the reader may agree with
neither his premises nor conclusions, his
| argument is nevertheless interesting.
The Wealth of New York" is the title
| of somewhat optimistic review by
| Mayor Gilroy, while The Silver Prob
| LEM is discussed by Andrew Carnegie
and Sir John Lubbock. The high liter
| airy excellence that marks all the papers
| in this ndmber renders the Review of ill.,
estimable value.
The New England Magazine for the
| current month is attractive, both on &C
| count OF the character of the contents
| and the superior quality OF the engrav-
| lngS which emJeiiiSh it. Tempest
| Island" is an engaging story, with a
| moral on sociology. by Nathan Haskell
| Dole. An agricultural experiment sta
ton is illustrated With pen and pencil;
the interest in John Ballautyne, Gen
tleman," is well maintained through
| two additional chapters, and there are
many other features that are well worth
engaging the attention of the reader.
The Humanitarian, Victoria Wood
| >
| fixture among the London periodicals,
for 1t mas attracted wide attention. and
its contributors are numbered among
the best people of England. Walter
| Besant, the dean of st. Paul's, Sir B.
| w. Richardson and other eminent men
are heard>on a variety of subjects in the
| issue for the current month, while Mrs
Martin herself discusses "The Princi-
| plies of Finance" Mrs. Martin has ap-
parently laid aside many of her extreme
views on social subjects, and has come
to accept modern society as it is, while
at the same time she is laborng within
| conventional channels to improve its
| tone.
The Idler bears the imprint of the
genius for description possessed in such
eminent degree by its editor, Jerome K.
jerome. The article in the September
number which he contributes bears the
odd title People L Have Never Met"
1t is certainly very entertaining
| paper. The Memoirs of a Female
Nihilist," by Sophie Wessilief, con-
tains many strange incidents and adj
ventures. The magazine is beautifully
| illustrated.
Other magazines received are: Out
ing, with its usual bill of outdoor
sport.
Table Talk. with choice bills of fare,
Philadelphia.
The School Review, at Hamilton, n.
Y; j. E. Schurman. president of Cor
| nell, editor-in-chIef.
Mothers Nursery Guide to Babyhood,
