says: The summer Is at last over. Last
year the very warm days fingered till late
in September, and in the early part OF
October even, we were having reminders
of the hot and humid August which had
drained the vitality Of those who were
compelled to s%ojourn amid close brick
walls and blistering, white hot pave.
ments.
But there is a equality in the sunshine
to-day that is essentially different from
that of a very few days ago. 1t is a sub
tie something that adds enjoyment to life
The step is springier, the eye is brighter
and interest in the tolls and pleasures OF
life grows keener. You cannot define it
nor weigh it, nor hold it up to be looked
at and described, but you feel it and are
thankful for it.
And when the rain comes you find in
it confirmation of your impressions
drawn from the sunshine and the spirit
distilled by the atmosphere. 1t is not &
summer rain. If the wind is with it i
strikes you with a chill and yet it gives
you strength. A few days ago it vas q
tepid nuisance. Now it is bracing, even
if it does suggest the early coming OF
bleak days when neuralgia and rheuma'
tism and hypochondria will call on you
The short summer did not make itself
excessively disagreeable by it's severity.
1t was really, here in the east, a very
reasonable and c~ommendable season. 1t
bore it's glories and made its record of
golden days which were not overweighted
by others too intensely uncomfortable to
be forgotten.
1t was a good summer, in which the
fruits of the earth grew to perfection,
ripened and were garnered in abundance.
And yet we are not sorry that it has
ended. We turn with a~lacrity to the
days of frost and quicker pulses and we
begin to watch the trees eagerly for the
first painted leaves.
Vale Summer! Hail Jack Frost.

number of the Magazine is An article by
Carl Schurz on the "Manifest Destiny"
of the United States, and an entertaining
description of undergraduate Life at
Oxford" by Richard Harding Davis.
Among the interesting features of Har-
per's Bazaar, published September %, will

and Lace-makers," by the Countess Cora
Slocumb di Brazza. This lady has taken
great interest in the Italian exhibit at the
Worlds fair. A bright sketch, entitled
"The American Husband" by Mrs. Oliver
Bell Bunce; THE Worker or the Wom-
an" by Helen Watterson and "The Talk
Habit" by Anne H. Wharton, will add
interest to this number, which will also
contain a review of The Prince of India,

herst college.
The leading feature of Harpers
Weekly for September % is the first half
of a two part serial by Charles Egbert
Craddock, entitled The MoOnshiners at
Hoho-heebee Falls" The attractive de.

ing receives a due share Of attention in
Illustration and text, and T. de Thulstrup
and w. A. Rogers contribute striking
full-page impressions of the Worlds fair.
The methods Of looking after the unem-
ployed in the West, San Francisco's com.
ing Midwinter Fair, and the great athletic
meeting in Chicago are subjects which
also enrich ard diversity an unusually
attractive number.
GOVERNOR MATTHEWS, of Indiana, has
succeeded in snuffing out prize fighting
in that state. The short haired fraternity
that infested Roby, a village not far from
Chicago, has been outwitted and the
$40, 900 invested by the toughs of Chicago
has gone glimmering. Thus prize fight
ing, as a profitable enterprise, has suffered
another well-merited shock.
