In Harper's Monthly the illustrations to "The Nile" may be

noted as particularly good. The article on " Harrow " is somewhat thin, at least to an English reader, who may be presumed to know some- thing about the famous school, while the illustrations appear to be taken from photographs. There are some effective 'portraits in "Professional Beauties of the Lad Century." Of the other articles we may notice, "Summer Resorts upon the St. Lawrence," and a pleasing little love-story, "My Bull-Calf."
