& LACCe Is q similar picture OF OVcEuTIa
sAycock,sot Moth Carolina, and Of Dr.
DR.. Alderman, four directors OF the.
Southern Educational Board. A good
s1iart OF the magazine is given to the
movement for Southern education.
There are three articles of unusually
timely Importance In this number. One
OF. them by G. w. Ogden explains in pic
turesque detail why the Price of Beef
is High Arthur Goodrich. with the.
aid of thirty remarkable pictures, fore
casts the future of American shipping,
and Henry Harrison Lewis, who has
lately returned from Cuba, writes an
almost sensational story about condi-
tons in the newly-freed island.
Scribners shows, in striking manner,
both the progress of the times due to
the latest advances in knowledge and a.
wealth Of literary material. 1.-THE New
Agriculture by w. S. HARDWOOD, is a
wonder-garden and the article will be
an eye-opener to those who believe that
agriculture has stood still while other
American Industries have gone ahead.
The continuation Of the two great SER
ials by Richard --arding Davis and F.
Hopkinson Smith reach the high-water
mark for both writer's. ''The Gulf
Stream Myth and the Anti-Cyclone" is
q startling alleged explosion of the
theory Of Commodore Maury that the
Gulf Stream tempers the climate of
Western Europe.
The June Century IS banner number
Of that great American magazine. It's
most striking article is 1.-The Royal
Family OF England by Oscar Brown
ing, prefaced by full page portraits of
the King and Queen, drawn In tirts by
George L. Tcbin, from photographs.
Other notable contributions are those of
Henry LOOMS Nelson attacking the
hierarchy that controls Congress, "Tri-
ulnpEs Of America Bridge Building by
Frank w. Skinner. "a Great Civic
Awakening in America 'Bloodhounds."
''The Great Southwest" 'Diaz." &C.,
&c.
AS full as usual OF timely articles on
men and affairs. McClure's for June will
perhaps be chiefly welcomed for the first
instalment OF Booth Tarkington's new
serial, Tho Two Vanrevels." The au-
thor might appropriately have called the
rev novel "Thc Two Gentlemen from In
dinana," to emphasize the fact that in it
he is returning to the field of his first
great success. ''The Gentleman from
indiana" however, was q story OF con-
temporary life whilo 1.-THE Two Van
revels'' hnrk back to the days of the
Mexican War. The three opening chap
tiers unfold most alluringly. The story
seems to combine all the charms OF Ihe
Gentleman from Indiana" and Beau
caire," and to add q surer mastery OF
STYLE of it's own Certainly no serial
now running in any other magazine VIII
surpass it in Importance or popularity.
