Apart from the stories, which both short and serial, are

of more than average excellence, there is not much in the August

number of the Quiver that calls for special attention. And yet

there are several papers that will be found readable by those who do not look to magazines for profundity,—such as "Mortlake and its Memories" (which, by-the-way, is well illustrated) ; "A Quaker Mission in Madagascar," "About Chinese Girls," and "A Glimpse of Some Sightless Folk," which last is an account of the good work that is being done under the auspices of that useful institution (now nearly a century old), the School for the Indigent Blind, in Southwark.
