AUGUST MACHINES.
Donahos,s Magazine

Donahoe's Magazine
for August is one of the best, if not the
best issue of this popular monthly, from q
typographical rs well as aliterary point of
view, that we have yet seen. The leading
article, at least to Maine readers, is con-
tributed by Rev. Thomas F. Butler of Els
worth, under the caption, "Catholic Maine. "
In this interesting article Father Butler
gives the history of the Catholic church in
this State from the first Indian missions IN
1912 to the present time. The article is IL
lustrated with views of various churches as
well as portraits of prominent Maine CatliC-
lies. In the latter is included excellent
portrait of Postmaster Lynch of this city.
Joseph Haworth, ,favorably knoxnto Name
theatre goers, contributes readable paper
entitled Last Days of John Mccullough"
This sketch is followed by one descriptive
of Mr.. HawOrth from the pen of George II.
Brennan Another biographical sketch of
much interest is that on HSir Charles Rus
SELL" by III. j. Jordan. In the "Women's
Department" the advantages and disadvan-
tages of stenography and proof reading as
occupations for women are discussed.
Four bright, short stories are contained in
this issue, and with an unusually large
amount of valuable miscellany make up A
particularly attractive number. (Donahoe's

The Arena.
An article of great interest in the August
Arena is on s.Tte Value of Hypnotism as
Means Of Surgical ADm ,thesia, by James
X. Cooke, NJ. D., in which he gives an ac-
count of some of his experiences as n
physician in the use of hypnotism as a
substitute for morphine, chloroform, and
other opiates. A paper which will doubt
less receive a wide reading is contributed
by Clara b. Moore on "Keeley's Dis
coveries and Aerial Navigation" The
article on male and Female Attire in
Various Nations and Ages" by Mrs. Ellen
Battelle Dietrick, is an unusually interest
ing one. IL is accompanied by numerous
illustrations. Among the many other

Schindler's on .'Insurance and the Nation,
and a paper reviewing militarism in the
public schools by the editor, entitled Eos
tering the Savage in the Young" The
Arena is nov well launched in its tenth
year, and with each number is steadily gain
ing iU public favor, and, judging by the
feast Of literary good things which it fur
iisaes It's readers monthly, it is not to be
wondered at. (The Arena Publishing Co.,

The SanItarian.
The opening number of the Sanitarian

ings at the Congress of American phys
clans and surgeons and details fully the
work accomplished at that important meet
ing. Early Attempts to Arrest the Raw
ages of Smallpox in America is the sub

resorted TO in the past to stamp out this
dread disease. Other valuable articles con-
