volved that we have no lack of terri
tory, no pressure of population, no Inn
tied resources, and no want of respect
from the world at large. Senator JUS
tin S. Morrill, writes about Free Coin
age of Silver by the United States
Alone" 1t goes without saying that he
is opposed to il, and his whole arSu-
ment is an attempted justification of
his position. A very delightful article
is Mark Twain's About Play-Acting-"
1t is a serious and valuable article, not
without humor.s 1t is plea for little
more tragedy. Professor Dietrich
Schafer. of Heidelberg university, has
an appreciate article on Bismarck.

time from the pen of Mr. Norman Hap

brief survey of the newest and most
important things in contemporary dra-

can Library and the Drama" writes of
the extent to which dramatic authors
have been indebted to books for the
subjects of their dramas. Mr.. Clement
X. Shorter, editor of the London Sketch,
writes about Mr.. Gladstone's literary
opinions with as much zest as though
these opinions had any value whatso-
ever. and DR.. Frederick T. Cooper con-

France in the series of Living Conti-
mental Critics. One of the most inter-
esting pages of the Bookman is devoted

tractive.

The Living Age for Oct. 1 starts off
with the opening chapter of a novel,,
Constance" by Tn. Benton (Mme.
Blanc) 1t bids fair to be very interest
/ ing. This furnishing of first-class for
eign fiction to its readers has become
special feature of the Age. Florence
| Bell makes "A Plea for the Better
Teaching of Manners" The plea is well
put and timely. In Shakespeare and
Bacon" the old controversy as to the
authorship of the plays is gone over,
but the writer has no use for the Ba-
CONAN theory of it. An appreciative ar
ticle is POmpeo MOlmentis elizabeth
Barrett Browning" There are the reg
ular readings from the new books and
MAGAZINES. The Age has a new cover,
modelled after the old familiar one, but
/ the reviews and magazines on 1t are re-
arranged, some new ones added, some
| old ones omitted. Another new feature
J is the scattering of the poetry through
the number, instead of having IT all
/ together in the front. We like the old
arrangement best.
