of charities and correction, in them
selves valuable as contributions to the
literature of enlightened Christian char

paper on the Cliff Dwellers. those strong
and simple people, who must have
faded away from the mild Southern
country before the onslaught of the
more cruel and rugged people of the
farther north. This article is finely
illustrated, with designs of the burial
robes and cases, and various cups
and pots and pans with which
those prehistoric people performed
their daily household laDorS. In
all departments this magazine is so
we'll conducted that little more be asked
for.
The Critic of May 20 devotes its open
ing pages to an authoritative statement
of the summer plans for work and play
of Ifinety-seven well-known American
authors. The most noteworthy fact
brought forward in this article is the
unanimity with which the literary folk
are turning their steps ChicagoWards

The Century. bound, makes a most
attractive book. The volume just re-
ceived is that including the numbers
from November, 1892, to April. 1898,
and constitute volume 45. The binding
is artistically done, the color soft and
pleasing; the edges of the leaves are
gilded, and altogether 1t is a very allur-
ing book. There is certain pleasure
in looking over a volume of bound
magazines akin to that of meeting old
friends. These articles you recall
having read in the paper-backed
maUaziua with very muPh the
same feeling that you see your
friends in the freedom of dress
that daily contact gives, but now
they are in full dress, with serious
minded bookish binding, and are in
some subtle way set little higher up
in your regard, if not higher. in some
way made different, but at heart the
same old magazine that you chummed
with through the winter evenings.

Current Literature for June is
worlds fair number. If those fortunate
people who are privileged to choose
their own "terms and seasons and are
able to postpone their visits to the
worlds fair to some time when they are
well ready to get the most good out of
that visit, are not thoroughly equipped,
theoretically at least, for getting the
utmost good possible out of that
visit. the magazines Of the coun-
try will not be to blame. The
average reader might get very
thorough knowledge of the fair in all of
its departments by reading the maya
zines of the day, and will certainly be
able to settle in his own mind just what
of all these wonders he most desires to
see from reading the descriptions that
are to be had in all sorts of shapes.
The illustrations in the Current Liter
ature are fine. Besides these worlds
fair articles the current number is full
of good things from many sources. 1t
is the magazine for busy man to read,
because 1t holds so much of the cream
of other publications.
New Occasions, magazine OF social
and industrial progress, is another con-
tribution to the literature OF social and
Industrial discussion. 1t has for
motto these lines:
New Occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward
who would keep abreast of truth.
The name of its editor, B. f. Under
wood, has always been associated with
the questions that are agitating the
world of today, those questions that be-
gan ages ago to interest men and to
separate them into parties political and
social. The great questions that grew out
of that one asked so long ago and still I'M
answered, IAN my brothers. keeper?'
This is the platform on which this new
magazine stands. New Occasions is
published in the interests of the people.
The great majority OF the people are
those who work for living and receive
but small pay for the work they do.
And the tendency under the present
industrial system is toward the accumu-
latiOn of great fortunes from the earn
ingS of the mass of workers, group OF
individuals. a comparatively small MI
nority, daily growing richer, and the
disprOpOrtiOn between their remunera-
ton and that of the workers, the vast
majority, continually increasing.
We have been accustomed to claim
that Christianity was the only one Of
the religions that possessed the mission
airy spirit. This claim has not been de-
MED, and yet we have at hand weekly
| to the propagation of ISlamiSm called
| The MosIem World. This new publica-
ton will be issued monthly until the
| first Friday i'll October, after that time
| it will be weekly. 1t starts out with
| the expectation of being novelty in
| American religious Journalism, land to
attract attention and possibly arouse
active opposition of certain classes of
reigioniSts, but it desires to say
that it will not attack any of the
| existing cIeedS. Its spirit is purely
educational, and its prime purpose to
| place the religion taught by the in
| spired Prophet of Arabia before the
English speaking world in its true
| light, and to correct those errors into
| which the masses have fallen through
| the false history and misconceptions
published by preiudieed and ignorant
followers of other systems who have
| written about Islam and its inspired
] founder. In undertaking this work
feel that am doing humanity sery-
Ice, for | am honestly and sincerely of
| the opinion that the ENGRAVING of Islam
| and ISlamic laws upon our social sys-
tenn will prove a blessing of inesti-
| mable value, and correction Of those
evils that are sapplng the life of our
| domestic institutions, and with which
church Christianity seems powerless to
| CONTEND" 1t is rather an odd sensation
| for a free and enlightened American TO
| think of himself as citizen of cOuh-
