fully Illustrated. Paul Leicester Ford's
1.-The Many-sided Franklin deals par
ticularly with his family relations. The

interesting article in the number is
Captain Sigsbee's Personal Narrative
of the Maine" In the present paper
(there is to be another) he tells of the
Names reception at Havana. Noah
Brooks writes of Mark Twain in Cali
fornia." A companion article is one by
Twain entitled, From the London
Times of 1904" Lieutenant B. A FiSke
of the Petrol tells about why We Won
Manila" The article is of a semi-pro-
fessional character and shows the bat
tie of May 1 to have been even more
glorious than generally thought. A de-
cidedly interesting and valuable article
is "Lowell's Impressions of Spain" No
one was better calculated to make keen
and just observations on Spain and the
SDaniards. and no one had a better
opportunity to do so than Lowell while
our minister at Madrid. Marion Craw-
ford begins new novel, Via Crucis.''

The American Review of Reviews for
November is full of good things. THE
Progress of the World" department is
especially interesting, being an almost
complete chronicle of events for Octo-
Der. Here will be found portraits of all
those whose names have been so prom
inent before the public for the past few
weeks. In this respect perhaps the
most interesting are those of the Amer
lean and Spanish peace commissioners.
There is a portrait of General f. D.
Grant on horseback, and one cannot
but be struck with the great resem-
blance to his distinguished father.
Here will be found reproductions of the
chief cartoons in which Colonel Roose-
welt has figured since his nomination
for governor of New York. Excellent
as they all are, we think the palm
