The Atlantic Monthly for August
opens with a complete novel entitled,
Daphne" by Margaret Sherwood. That
it is a fine production goes without
saying, otherwise it would not have
obtained a place in the Atlantic. A
we'll considered article on the "Concen-
tration of the Banking Interests of the
United States, by Charles ]. Bullock,
is well worth reading. This is a time
ly article, as the financial question is
certain to occupy much of the atten-
ton of Congress next winter, and per-
haps at the approaching extra session.
Henry James has an article on Emile
Zola." 1t will undoubtedly be very gen.
orally read, not only because of the in
terest in lola, but also of the interest
in whatever Henry James writes. The
short stories, the verse and reviews
are all of a high order of merit. In
deed, it would be difficult to improve
upon this number of the Atlantic

outing for August is breezy and full
of good things of the ocean, the forest
and plain. The illustrations are SUI
perb, and the articles are of a high
class of merit. One of the most in
teresting, and at the same time in
structive, of the articles of the number
is entitled Midsummer Musicians by
L. w. Brownwell. 1t tells all about
the music of the grasshopper,
katydid, cicadas and locusts. 1t is
we'll worth reading. OF course, the
number pays a great deal of attention
to the pleasures of the seaside re-

escape 1t. The articles which accom-

H. D. Koerner. The first article is
