Scribner's Magazine for July has for its leading article "Life at the Athletic Clubs" by Duncan Edwards, who has 8 personal knowledge of the clubs which he describes, in many large cities. It is particularly full of descriptions of out door life at this season of the year, at Travers Island, the Crescent, the Orange, and other clubs that have country as well as city houses. All number nearly forty, representing clubs from New York to San Francisco. Robert Grant discusses "The Summer Problem" in his series, "The Art of Living" ," answering the query, What is the good American to do with himself or herself in the summer?" All the bearings of the question of hiring cottage, boarding, living in a hotel or travelling, are discussed with special ref erence to the necessities of the man of family. A discussion of the American summer girl and her relations to her mother, full of humor and of satire, is H. lustrated by w. H. Hyde. A story of commencement at girls college, by Miss Goodloe, entitled "As Told by Her." has three of Gibson's striking illustrations. Short fiction is "The Prince of Romance" by Robert w. Herrick, and a farcical railroad story, by Francis Lynde, entitled "An Assisted Destiny" Mrs. Humphry Wald's novelette,, "The Story of Bessie Costrell," ," reaches in this number a most impressive conclusion. This tale has hardly superfuous word, and moves to its conclusion with the impressiveness of great tragedy. Under the striking ti- | tie, "The United States Will Pay" Pres ident Andrews reviews the financial poli- cy of the United States from resumption, and discusses with great clearness the silver question as it confronted the coun- try in 1873, also the panic of 1873, the granger movement, the Molly Maguires, and the great railway strikes in Pitts burgh and elsewhere in 1877. The fad of the day for posters is treated in an article on "Poster and Poster Designing in En- gland" by M. H. Spielmann, with a great many reproductions. "The Amaz- | ALlS NdALldSO1 ny 0OOlSO hOL0ulGuy Io- cords more of the doings of the already famous "Whitechapel Countess" There is, also, an article on Kingsley, the en- graver; an illustrated poem, by Mildred Howells, daughter of the novelist, and other poems by J. Russell Taylor, Han nah Parker Kimball and Burr Wilton.

A TRIP TO TACOMA, WASHING
 TON,
By Canadian Pacific Railroad. BY MRS. OORRIN.

BY MRS. OORRIN.
 We said the dreaded good-byes Arthur and las boarded the train. My son begged me not to break down; but he had to go outside, where he stood throwing his mother the parting kisses till the last minute. At 8 o'clock the iron horse moved, and we were onward bound. Then the tears came. I wondered if I ever should see Arthur again. A young woman came in and sat opposite. She had started for California. She sobbed and sobbed. We mingled our griefs, and i poth 1ts1U better. Ffe115 her book. She went with me nearly all the journey. We reached Montreal in the morning, cross ing on the big steel bridge the river St. Lawrence, with one of the grandest river views in the world. Oh, what an expanse of water, and we in the center of it On we sped to Ottawa; on with ever-changing scenery-nothing in particular to itemize until we reach the northern shore of Lake Superior rightly named Superior. From 1 ACAOA Ouy OA bI4C 4Ns E. huS1c OI GI10 ldhS for sixty miles we were carried around the bold promontories of Lake Superior, with deep rock cuttings, viaducts and tunnels, and where the railway is cut out of the face of the cliffs the entire lake comes into view. We twist and curve around it's borders to Port Arthur, on Thunder Bay, an arm of Lake Superior. Here we leave the lake for Winnipeg, passing the Sleeping Giant at Fort Will liam. We pass Rat Portage, called the Saratoga of the west, where the wonder full cascades fall into the Winnipeg river, and soon reach Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, with it's population of 32,000. We are now in the treeless region; for one hundred miles no tree or bush exists
 At Port Arthur our watches went back an hour, and forgot to say that our car filled up with a very pleasant class of peo- pie, score of children with dolls and toys making it seem like home sitting room. Several ladies vied with each oth- CT in doing favors for me when they mo- ticed my crippled condition. Ever and anon I threw out a postal to Arthur and Minnie. The days passed quickly away. hurried up to catch the moon, so that by her silvery light I could watch out, while all thought me very courageous to start so long a trip alone. Stations of

In Charleston, s. O., there are more negroes than white people, yet while five large schools are provided for white chill dren there are only two for the blacks. In consequence, 5000 colored children are growing up in ignorance and likeness, and, many of them, in vice and crime. Scoles have to besent to the penitentiary. The white people refuse to supply more schools because the taxes paid by negroes are notsufilcient to pay for the mainten- ance of the two now established.

Chicago Advance: At the Unitarian conference held at San Jose, Cal, the project of divinity school was deferred because the superintendent of missions reported that he had an average of six or eight applications for positions from min isters in orthodox denominations, and the paper of the denomination in Boston stated that 200 such men would be avail able for service at once. Desertions of this kind to them, it strikes us, ought to alarm the Unitarians more than the ''or- thodox." To have it's ranks filled up with men with firm convictions as to what not to believe, but otherwise of every form of training and purpose, is not encouraging for coherence or for an ag- gressive, positive program.

A WILDWOOD SCHOOL.

saw the counterpart of boys school one day in the woods of Illinois. was sitting quietly on log near a creek, when there came, pacing down a little path, an old mother raccoon with five young ones. The little fellows were about as large as half-grnwn cats, and 1 were as full of full of fun as that myth ical basket of monkeys we read about. If ever there was a hard-worked teacher it was that poor mother coon. She tried to teach the little imps how to catch craw-fish and how to eat them. When the old lady (she was very ladylike old coon) got the little fellows in a line at the water's edge, she sedately walked to rock and gravely reached down into hole and brought out a crawfish. She then proceeded to wash it, but just as she was about to eat 1t one little coon broke rank and stole the crawfish.
 This started a row, and all the little fellows were badly mixed, while the old one was administering bites and cuffs in- discriminatory among the scholars She finally succeeded in restoring order, and then sent one of the little coons to try it in another hole. Here is where the fun began in earnest, and all the mischievous boys that ever made a teachers heart ache were the essence of goodness when compared with these little coons. They pinched each others tails, nipped each others ears, bit each others legs, and worried the old coon until she turned to and gave them general cuff1ng all around. It seemed to me that each little coon knew his lesson perfectly, and was de- termined to get all the fun out of the pro- ceedings possible, for when the mother soon got so angry that she made her bites felt, the little fellows got down to busi- ness and caught, washed and ate their crawfish with the ability of veterans.
 The comically grave faces of the little fellows as they reached down into the crawfish holes and groped about for the fish was too much for my disabilities, and gave such hearty laugh that the school was instantly dismissed. -OhtcG9O NeaoS.
