"Trinity Bells'' winds up in the cur
rent st. Nicholas with VIVID picture
of Algiers in the old barbaric, out
raseous days which finally brought
down annihilating retributions from
the American Navy. This number,
likewise. concludes 'Betty's'' adven-
lures with unlocked for affluence of
rulationship--nothing less than a beau
tiful young mother-as eager and loving
as poor Betty herself. Two or three
picturesque incidents hinge on the late
war, notably that of the poor heroic
little mascot of 90. d, First Pennsyl-
yania. There are some excellent,
curious specimens OF old hieroglyphics,
but to readers of stalwart athletic turn
the stirring event is that THE Dozen
from Lakerimo with wild reioicings,
yet some sadness, terminate their
school year.
President Eliot, in the current At.
lantic, discusses the deepening and
consolidation of secondary education,
and, more than that its tieNibiilty
resulting from the enlarged list of
entrance examination subjects at tho
universities Here Harvard is pioneer,
setting up freer and more individual
permeate now all grades of education.
| MIR. Sedgwick, at least, Theoretically
smooths away every difficulty in tho
way of general acceptance by our coun-
| lrymen of the Church of Rome. Prof.
| Wheeler's paper is specially pleasing
! 1t shows that a language crystallizes
the very soul of a people and IS in
essence untranslatable. Mr.. More
gives destructive, not scathing, criti-
cism of George Meredith's novels.
| There is praise. surely, but of such
| ethereal texture, that no reader would
be thereby allueed TO set at naugnt the
very apparent difficulties in the way of
enjoying this much lauded and much
disliked author. Taking the acquisi-
tion Of Louisiana as starting point, Mr.
Harvey traces an endless letter chain OF
events, brought up for the present by
our handsome expansion in the Pacific
but with, ultimately, world-embracing
views.
Jacob Riis gives the most cheering
contents of the number. He describes
the manly, unintermittent warfare
which won the rights of air, light,
space and play grounds for the poor
children of New York. Col. Waring
was the David who slew the Goliath Of
corrupt politics. Not, however, with
out mourning the bitter hatred of politi-
clans and so losing the place, which nc
one had even pretended to fill as he
did. In consequence Of this, he went
to Cuba and there lost his life.
or the fiction, 1.-The Apotheosis Of
Pitt JEAN by the granddaughter Of
Rufus Choate, attracts special atten.
tion. There is little of a story, even Of
that little the conclusion is weak. But
there are freshness of delineation,
pleasure in the work, that intimate &C
quaintance, which besets love. with
foreign peasant life, enough of those tt
produce a quite pervasivo chasm.

Sturgeon and Shad Fishing,

Fish Warden Nichols, of Cumberland
county, has submitted a very interesting
report of the shad and sturgeon fisheries
of the county.
The report states that $4,000 shad
were caught at Bay Side. The number
of shad caught in the Cohansey was
about 1000.
The sturgeon fisheries at Bay Side,
the report shows. have had IA remark
able growth, this industry of late years
being of much more Importance than
the shad fisheries. The sturgeon fish
ermen's Protective Association of New
Jersey have invested here in nets
boats, etc., capital amounting to
S750,000.
During the season 216l sturgeon vert
shipped from Greenwich Pier and Bay
Side, and go kegs of caviar were sent
away. The catch of sturgeon has fallen
off considerable. In 1880 the catch aver
aged 60 per net, while in 1898 it was 10
and this season it has only been eight
to the net.
