Whoever cares to know how Rudyard
Kipling composes one of his spirited bar
rack-room ballads will be interested in
the opening paper in McClure's Magazine
for July. Written by Mr.. E. Kay Robin
son, with whom Kipling was intimately
associated in the editorship of a newspa-
per in India, the paper is full Of interest
ing personal facts about Kipling. But
perhaps surprising this in abundance of
new personal detail is paper of recollec-
tions of Longfellow, Whittier and
Holmes by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.
Whittier, it appears, while never lacking
for affectionate care, and never losing
his cheerful tone, was, in his last years,
much oppressed by loneliness; and
Holmes, while OutWardly so merry man,
was at heart grave almost to melancholy.
In his later years the latter experienced
too, quite a radical change in his religious
views. Both papers are fully illustrated
with portraits and other pictures; and,
forming an independent article. is a com
prehensive series of portraits Of Long
fellow. A woman's account Of her own
experience in climbing to the very top
of the Matterhorn-a feat which Few Wo-
men have proved equal to; an illustrated
article by Cleveland Moffett indicating the
revolution that is already beginning TO
be wrought in travel, traf1c, ana war by

it shows also a firm and ready grasp on
the important topics of the time. Hon. E.
J. Phelps, ex-minister to England, dis
cusses arbitration and our relations to
England, showing what arbitration may
do and what it cannot do, and what d.
plomacy ought to accomplishing short
what England owes to US and we to Eng
land-and the best methods of advancing
international amity and the progress of
mankind. Mr.. George w. Gable takes the
reader into his confidence and pleasantly
tells the secret of the novelsts art--as
far as it can be tOld-and discusses the
aims of the literary artist in an article
that he calls "Speculations Of a Story-tel-
ler." The series of practical articles on
educational subjects becomes even more
practical in this number which contains
six professional autobiographies Of sue
cessful teachers and superintendent of
the public schools. They write 50 frank
ly OF the hindrances that they encounter
that no one can be said to know the pub

it from this point of view These 'con-
fessions" are in several respects little less
