The Century. (Macmillan and Co. 10s. 6d.)4—The half-yearly volume of
the Century has Mrs. Regan. 'Rice's 'story of "Levey Mary," wherein we again shake hands with Mrs. Wiggs. The short stories by M. C. Graham, AL D. Sedgwiek, D. Gray, J. L. Long, and others =furnish great Variety of fiction. We see Mary Hallock Foote in the rale of illustrator. The great North-West and the great South-West are described in'thoughtful and serious articles, and illustrated by Ernest Blumenschein and Maxfield Parrish. It is suggestive of the succession of mining to ranching interests that Mr. Remington's sketches of the broad-hatted cow- punchers give way to Mr. Blumenschein's weird drawings of the great Copper City of Butte. The series of articles on the great Trusts should be read by all who wish to understand the real power and advantages of combination' and 'co-operation. One of the most interesthig articles in the whole volume is Mrs. Cleveland Moffett's "Paris Pawnshops," which is treated with considerable literary skill and tact. "Khartoum to Cairo in an Adirondack Canoe" should snit admirers of "Rob Roy." Astrononiy, history, census-taking, and the "Restoration of the White' House" furnish materials which are admirably illustrated. The 'Century keeps most certainly abreast of its competitors.
