The Review of Reviews fits into a
niche occupied by no other publica.
tions, and it has succeeded in c
plying much greater space than
many believe it possible when the
venture was first launched-all of this
in consequence of its uniformed ex.
c%ellence. The Progress of the World
is a department full of interest and
valuable information; MI. Stead's ar.
ticles upon MI. Gladstone, the Earl of
Roseburg and Sir William Harcourt
are most entertaining. Albert Shaw
has a good article upon the Tuskegee
Plan. The leading articles of the
month are ably reviewed and the
magazine from beginning to end bris.
ties with information, put in the best
possible shape. Review of Reviews,

While not as superstilious as gam.
blers, have certain prejudices which
affect them strongly. For instance,
they are much averse to attempting
difficult feats OF Friday, and they
note the fact that many of the acct.
dents happen on the thirteenth of the
month. Miss Berg was nearly killed
in Chicago on the thirteenth of July.
William Hagenbeck has a superstition
peculiar to himself, which is, that
Monday is an unlucky day for him,
and he will take no risks with any
wild animals on that day. Another
notion frequently entertained by tam
ers is, that it bodies them ill to go
back to their dressing-rooms for any
article that may have been forgotten.
