 new full page portrait of Seth Low, a
 very characteristic portrait and one
 which will give good idea of the man upon whom so many eyes are fixed just
 al present. Other fine portraits in this
 number are those of the Hon. David R.
 Francis, Bishop Potter of New York
 and the late Bishop Whipple of Minne-
 sota. In the department "The March
 of Events" which is described as "an
 illustrated editorial interpretation" a
 large number of topics are treated, po-
 litical chiefly though other topics are
 by no means neglected. Arthur Good-
 rich gives "A Plain Description of
 Tammany," citing "a few of the meth
 ods of boss rule in New York, and while he tells little that is now, he
 presents what he does tell in a forcible
 way. Dr. w. J. McGee tells some inter
 esting facts regarding "The Proposed Appalachian Forest Reserve;" Midorf Komatz, secretary of the Japanese le- gation at Washington, talks of Japan and the United States" and other inn portant articles are "The American Locomotive Abroad;' "The Pivotal Farm of the Union;" Professor Ira N.

 Doubleday, Page & Go. announce that their magazine Country Life in Ameri- ca has found a welcome of unexpected proportions and ent husiasm. The pub lished announcement has led to orders for more than the first edition and to advance subscriptions from. Would-ba readers in unexpected numbers. One prominent gentleman in New York so approved of the idea as told of in a newspaper that he sent fifteen subscrip- tions for himself and friends weeks be- fore he could possibly receive the first issue. Not only does the idea of Coun
 try Life in America appeal to alr who love the country, but the name of the editor, l.. Fl. Bailey of Cornell gives solid assurances that the magazine will be popular, interesting, beautiful and of high standard. Certainly no more su- perbly illustrated magazine has ever been printed To make sure of a flair start" the publishers issued a complete sample number, and have improved vastly upon this, now that they have finally issued the initial number. Among the contents is an article by the editor on abandoned farms, what they are and what may be done with them, with charming illustrations; an illustrated | account of ex-Governor Levi P Nor l tons place Ellerslie a two-page collec- | tion of suggestive pictures of pleasant | homes; the history of the frog from tadpole to froghood, with remark | able photographs by A. R. Dugmore, | made from life; articles on planting the lawn, the art of letting things grow, the newest fruits and a, vast amount of practical matter about the garden, the | greenhouse and even the window box, all of which is abundantly illustrated.
