excellence, it easily takes high rank
among the leading American periodicals
The Christmas number is gem. 1t opens
with a continuation of Artists and Theil

wonderful popularity. Thomas c. Quinn

article upon 1.-The House of Orleans.
number of fine portraits add materially to
the interest of the text. A number OF
other fine features contribute to the gener-
al interest of the issue, and combine to
make one of the very best numbers of the
year. Frank A. Munsey & Co., 151 Fifth
Avenue, n. Y.
The Arena.
The December issue of the Arena opens
the eleventh volume of this leading Lib
eral and Progressive Review. 1t contains
over 200 pages of literary matter, by some
of the greatest thinkers of our day,
and by some of the most interesting
and original of the younger American
writers. 1t opens with an important and
scholarly paper by Professor Max Muller,
the famous Oxford scholar, on 'The Real
Significance of the Worlds Parliament OF
Religions Count Leo Tolstoi, the great
Russian novelist and social reformer, con-
tributes a critical and appreciative paper
on Guy de Maupassant and his place in
literature Rev. Minot ]. Savage writes
timely paper on 1.-The Religion OF
Holmes Poems,' which falls into the
series on the religion of the poets of this
last half of the century. B. o. Flower
opens series of articles which will
discuss the Age of Consent laws of the
various states. The Arena is going to
try to influence legislation on this import
ant question by creating a public senti-
ment in the different states which shall
have the laws revised and the age raised
to sixteen. There is suggestive sympo-
SUM on ''The Abolition of War;" which
contains a valuable photography of the
subject. Henry Latchford contributes a
strikingly clever sketch of an imaginary
transaction between Peter the Great and
William Penn. Heinrich Hensoldt, Phi.
D., who has been writing on Occultism in
Thibet and has aroused hornets nest
of critics, writes a story, "The Fate
of Major Rogers; Buddhistic Mystery. "
Will Allen Dromgoole, the Southern
story writer, has Christmas story of life
in the Tennessee mountains called
"Cinch," Altogether the Arena presents
a fine Christmas number.

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

A Central Pacific railway land agent
says there are more than 100000 head of
wild horses in Nevada. They are source
of much trouble and loss to stockmen. be
cause they eat off the best grass on the
ranches, and leave little for cattle and
sheep. The last legislature passed a law
permitting anyone to shoot stations found
running wild.
The new town Of Three Forks Wash.
located last summer, has just made an in
teresting discovery. A high mountain
rises Immediately south of the town, and
now that the sun is sloping toward
the south it shows itself above the noun,
tain top and shines OH the town for only
about 20 minutes day. The local ex-
perts have figured out that in the dead of
of Sunshine.
News of another big gold find in Alaska
was brought to Port Townsend, Wash. : a
few days ago. The discovery was made
near Cooks Inlet, by newly arrived min.
ers. Gravel taken from the face of bluff
yielded SIS to the pan, and nuggets aver
aging in value about 500 each were found
in profusion. The party filed claims to
tho land, and one of their number is on
his way to San Francisco for machinery
to work the find. A rush of miners to
the district set in from Juneau as soon as
the find became known

A nations naval strength consists not
alone in the warships already constructed
but also in the ability to quickly construct
and man them. This is true of England,
and in increasing degree of the United
States. Should the free ship folly prevail
it would fatally sap our naval strength.

A Bizarre Village
Lewiston Journal.

One OF the most curious settlements is at
NJ cAdam Junction, near the eastern Maine
border. Hail dozen old condemned freight
cars have been removed from their trucks and
are snuggied together In bizarre village,
Families live theLeIO and children PLAY about
the doors. The squat little ShantylOwn makes
waiting at that dreary junction even more de-
pressing. Another feature OF the landscape Is
The Canadian 2 cItic "bOneyard." Nearly
q score of crippled, condemned and
partially dlSmOuuted locomotives stand
about in the field wholly upprO-
iected from the elements. Perhaps they're
not worth fe0hng; but 1t strikes thrifty soul
rather gu etly 10 see what represents proba blv
