LITE K AMY NOTES.
Kvkuyihiky's.
ETryJoly's Magazine begins to he some
thing more than an entertaining ten eeuts' worth
ot fiction and articles. An indentity has lteen
deveIoM'd a sturdy and aggressive identity all
its own and lull of interest and promise.
Thus lar, the magazine has prided itself on
the timeliness of its features and the healthy vir
ility of its fiction. Now, it has found itself, en
tered on its own mission, headed out on its par
ticular crusade. The key-note of this indivi
duality is the article by Alfred Henry Lewis, in
the October number, "The madness of much
money." This U a scathing attack on the vulgm
displays of great wealth to which the new gen
eration of millionaires lias treated the countrt.
' Success
The October 4'Succens" is a big one. It con
tains just thirty new features. The variety is
uoticeable, each article, poem, and story having
tieen chosen with rare discrimination, go as to
make a publication of jierfect balance. The
leading feature is an inspiring and graphic life
sketch of Adelina Patti who is soon to retnrn to
America. It is one of the lie&t histories of her
life and its purpose ever written, and its authen
ticity can not be tjuestioned, for William Ams
trong, who wrote it, was sent to England by
"Success" specially for that purHise. He was
Madame I'atti's guest at her castle, Craig-y-Xos,
Wales, and she gave him all the facts on which
the article is based.
IIf.vikw of Kkvikw's
In the Review of Ileviews for ( ctobcr are two
articles on the problem of the country school
which deserve special attention. Professor Hays
ofthe I'niversity of Minnesota, writes on "Our
Farmer Youth and the Public School," showing
what is being done in many parts of the'country
through school consolidation and the development
of agricultural high schools, to give the country
hoy and girl the advantages of a connected, well
adjusted, and rational system of public instruct
ion, while Superintendent Kern, of Hock ford, III.,
in a brief illustrated article gives the results of
practical ellorts among farmer boys in his country
in the direction of interesting the boys in the
business of farming and in teaching them the
things worth knowing in their rural environment.
