$1,000 ahead of all the other products

Harper's Monthly is teeming with
good things. Not only is the intellect
satisfied but the eye is delighted by the
mastery drawings by Christy, ?. New
ell and others of their class.
Jean Leon Gerome, in short sketch
on the false and true gods in art, begs
his fellow artists to be more faithful to
nature and to more often strike the key
note of simplicity, which is always
strength. Andre Castaigne illustrates
the article with two of his exquisite
drawings. In the Dutch Founding of
New York Thomas Janiver tells us,
gently but firmly, that we have been
misled in the past by dear old Washing
ton Irving, and the cherished impress
sions we have held of the jolly pioneers
are quite wide of the mark. That Irv-
ing meant we'll, but drew largely on his
Imagination. Well, we have no proof
that Janiver is mt doing just the same
thing.
Josephine D. Daskam has another of
her clever little parodies of the Rubai-
yat. The sacrelige may make some. of
Omars adorers frown, but it they have
any sense of humor they cannot fail to
be amused.
Maurice Hewlett gives us narrative
of love and hate in the golden days of
Florence, and Elizabeth Sheppen Green
aids and abets him with her quaint
drawings of maidens in softly flowing
robes and men in all the bravery of long
ago.
The Hub of the Universe has new
light thrown upon it by G. E. Wood
berry. He is unkind enough to say
that '.it becomes plain, on looking back,
that the literary age of Boston was be-
fore the civil war."--So we are forced to
