new PUBLICATIONS.

Probably the article that will attract the
most attention in the September "Over-
land Monthly San Francisco), both be-
cause of the worldwide reputation of It's
writer and on account of the beauty OF
the accompanying illustrations. is HAL
mar Hjorth Boyesen's story OF Indian
life at the agencies-"Zee- Wee" 1t takes
up the much-discussed question OF the
education of the Indian. AS pure story,
Zee w ee'' is a strong refutation of j.
Fennimore Cooper's and Helen Hunt
Jackson's colored pictures of the redman.
In an illustrated article on EARLY Jour-
nalisn in San Francisco" J. M. Scan
land treats of the early struggles of the
journalists and newspapers. An article
on Chinese lottery, by Professor Culin
of the University of Pennsylvania, and
one on the Mexican drink, "Pulque," are
of interest. Colonel e. Hofer, whose arti-
Gle on the TRAMP Problem" in a late
issue was so widely noticed, contributes
an amusing skit on the late Oregon cam
palgn. J. j. Peatfield's exhaustive study
of Dredging on the Pacific Coast' is a
work of value. Wildman's Malayan
novel, 1.-The Panglima Muda," is in its
most interesting part, and Colonel Pos
toms Building State in Apache Land''
treats of Arizona during war times.
Among the short stories are two Kansas
stories, The Passing of Jack Thomp-
son." dealing with the horse thieves of
the emigrant days, and "a Charcoal
Sketch" a study of later life on the
farms. "As Talked in the Sanctum" and
Etc" are interesting, and the washes
and drawings by Boeringer and Dixon
are decided improvement on the past
numbers. The Overland Monthly" has
by the Sacramento County Board of Edu-
cation been added to the school library.

goes further and presents also many
translations OF important papers of for

all represented in this splendid reflection
OF the great world of thought and debate.
This war between China and Japan NAV
show US something new about battles be-
tween ironclad warships. In their con-
struction so much mere theory is repre-
sented, and so little experience, that those
who observe may achieve a paradox in
blamelessly expecting surprises and, un-
challenged, looking for the unexpected
TO happen. At such a time we should not
forget those famous old wooden sea- yes
sels-of-destruction, these three-deckers
which once did so much for all the navies
of the world; and the article in "Har-
Per's Young People' on 1.-THE Last DAYS
of the Old Navy Will interest everyone,
telling as it does what has become of the
Constitution, the Hartford, and the 9TH
ers, sorely tried and fully approved long
before the Chicago, the San Francisco and
the New York had been dug up out of the
iron mines.
