There are some excellent papers of a descriptive and bio-

graphical character in the new number of the Leisure Hour, such as Mr. Porritt's on "The American Capitol," and Dr. Japp's on Mrs. Henry Wood. Dr. Japp, who knew the indefatigabl/ novelist, testifies in the heartiest way both to her geniaj," and to her orderliness. Among other papers worthy of noticf, " Rambles in Japan," "New Oxford," and "A Bird's-eye

of the Argentine Republic."
