In the November Forum, Mr.. A.
Maurice Low speaks of the change that
is impending in European armies in the
matter of infantry. He shows that the
foot soldier is an anachronism, that he
cannot be fighting machine as well as
a beast of burden, and that it is abso-
lutely essential, both to mobility and to
effectiveness, to mount the infantryman.
He ditferentiateS between mounted in
fantry and cavalry, and declares that
the mounted infantryman will not be a

DR.. II. W. Wiley, in a most interest
ing article Oh bread-making at the
Paris Exposition i'll the November Fo-
rum, declares that the process of bread
making is OH the verge of complete
revolution. He describes the Schweit-
ger process of milling and bread making
which was exhibited at the Paris Expo
sition and shows that the flour produced
by that process is far more nutritious
than the flour produced by the old
methods. He says that the domestic
baking of bread is to be deplored, that
bread-making is as much of an art as
tailoring, and that we have as much
right to bread made by experts as we
have to coats and cloaks fashioned by
tailors He opines that the great evils
of our time and country are not in
trigues, bribery and trusts, but the fry

New England's Earliest Humorist' is
the title under which Rev. Daniel M.
Wilson, in the November number of
the New England Magazine, gives an
account Of the life and work of Tutor
Flynt, who taught the boys of Harvard
College for many years two centuries
ago. Tutor Flynt's portrait still hangs
in one of the Harvard halls, but to most
of us his is an almost or quite forgot
ten name. 1t was name loved by DR.
Holmes, to whom descended, we think,
one of the Tutors teapots, and the
autocrat refers to the old tutor affec-
tionately more than once. Mr.. Wilson
has done good work in reviving his
memory, and his article, accompanied
as it is by reproduction of the old
portrait at Harvard and by other illus
trations, will be read eagerly in Har-
ward circles and with much interest by
the general public. Warren +. Kellogg,
