The Century strikes into the summer
season in the July number with the be-

ford and Mrs. Burton Harrison. Mr..
Crawford's story is entitled, Love in
ldleness: A Fortnight at Bar Harbor,"

est vein The characters are New York
people, and are strongly contrasted, and
there is some lively and entertaining
love-making the very start
Mrs. Harrison's story, "A Bachelor
Maid, - with drawings by Wiles, opens in
New York city, and deals with the aspi-
rations of young woman to whom the
conVentionalities of family life are some
what irksome. incidentally the story

A noticeable characteristic of the En-
cheering Magazine is the absence of that
strictly technical quality which would
fit it for engineering readers alone, In the
July number the editor has been excep-
tionally fortunate in the selection of mat
ter appealing strongly to the interest of
the general reader. First is an article on
The Danger Lurking Behind Strikes"
in which Mr.. William Nelson Black dis
cusses the question whether we are drift
ing toward stronger government in the
efforts to suppress uprlSlngS among the
industrial classes. OF much general in
terest and real information is an illus
trated article on Saving Wrecked Yes

Every unmarried man thinks he would
make a good husband; every married man
knows he is the best husband in the
world, of course; and the man woman
loves possesses lin her estimation, at least)
the elements of an ideal husband. 1t is
interesting, therefore, to know the Opin-
ions on the subject of such well-known
men as Rev. DR. Parkhurst, Palmer Cox,
Bill Nye, Anthony Comstock, and George
Francis Train, who give their views in
the July number of DemOrest's Family
Magazine, some of which are very unique.

cause for rejoicing in the reports which
it is receiving from all parts of the coun-
try concerning the steady diminution in
the numbers of unemployed. 1t will be
remembered that the Review canvassed
the situation thoroughly in the early
winter, and placed before its readers re
turns from nearly all the large cities
showing the mum Der of men out of work
and the measures inaugurated for their
relief Supplementary Information has
been received which enables the Review
to state that almost everywhere such re-
lief work has ceased because the neces-
sity for it has disappeared. The editor
comments on this improved condition of
affairs and adds some interesting reiec
tions on the passing of CoXeYlsm. In this
| connection the status of the POpulist
party in congress is discussed. Review

Mr.. John Bach McMaster expresses his
regret in the July Forum that no one has
vet written an impartial and truthful
biography of the political parties in the
United States. He thinks the most read
able part would be the account of the in
Vulnerable third parties; of the con
ditions of national life from
which they spring; of the high
aims, or selfish purposes. or impractical
Bile ends they sought to accomplish; of
their triumphs; or, as has so often been
the case, their quiet and ignOminious dis
appearance. Prof McMaster describes
the career of the know-nothings, and
says there is no difference between that
| movement and the present American Pro
tective Association. Forum Publishing
