July Scribners.

Scribner's Magazine for July has
an attractive flavor of adventure,
sport, travel, and holiday-making
out-of-doors. These are entertain
ingly presented, both in the text and
in the abundant illustrations of the
strange countries which are the SUBJ
jects of the narratives.
The leading article describes the
romance and the historic past of the
Island of Sicily. The author, Rufus
B. Richardson, director of the Ameri-
can school at Athens, is particularly
we'll suited to write of the wonderful
Greek ruins which there abound.
He also imparts by his vivid style a
very modern note of pleasant ad-
venture.
Francis Parkman, the historian,
when a boy of eighteen, made a
journey to Lake George and kept a
diary of what he saw in that romantic
region, associated with so much of
the colonial history that Parkman
made his special field in after years.
This portion of his diary is published
for the first time, and reveals the
active mind of the future historian.
1t is full of amusing incidents and
picturesque descriptions. Charles H.
Farnham, the biographer of Park
man, has an inductory note.
Another article, which will appeal
strongly to the lover of nature, is DIR.
Leroy NJ. Yale's memories of a quaint
old New England character, "Uncle
David" who gave him his first les
sons in fishing and hunting. DR..
Yale writes with sympathy both of
man and of the sports of his youth
(which he has followed with pleasure
ever since). The illustrations by A.
B. Frost are full of the poetic charm
of this idyl of fishing.
The story of "Krag, the Kootenay
RAM" by Ernest Seton Thompson, is
concluded dramatically. The illus
trations include wonderful head of
"Krag," drawn by the author.
G. r. Putnam, of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, made a journey
along a part of the shore of the Yukon
Delta never visited by white man
before. He describes this unusual
trip and illustrates it with some
striving photographs.
J.hn La Farge's diary of his voyage
in the Pacific is concluded with an
account of Tahiti, full illustrated
from Mr.. La Farge's own drawings
and paintings.
There is also a short story of life in
a mining camp on the shores of Lake
Superior. 1t is by Sewell Ford, the
author of Skipper"
Mrs. Wiggin's "Diary of a Goose
Girl" comes to an end with very
pretty love story.
Matthew Arnold is the subject of a
remarkably discriminating essay by
w. G. Brownell, who analyzes.Arnold's
work as poet, a critic, and an in
terperter of life. This is the most
serious and thoughtful study of
Arnold that has appeared.
Senator Hoar gives personal re.
miniscences of famous orators he has
heard, with vivid descriptions of the
oratory of Gladstone, Choate, Ed.
ward Everett, and other great speak.
