former important features; while the

the musical student ten times the
amount of subscription. Each number
contains 8. or 10 pages of excellent

Such is tho singular title of a book

Charles Scnbuer's Sons," New York
It is a translation from tho French, the
author being Max OKcl.. a "name
suggestive of Irish lineage. The work
sees Lnglana auu ingusn people
through Parisian eyes and treats all the
subjects it discusses by. comparison
with France, or more properly Paris,
which to the author isJFrance. It is'a
very readable and instructive work.
Tho author tries to be magnanimous in
his treatment of English' habits, laws
and customs,, but his efforts hardly
ever amount to more than a. libera)
condescension. In his efforts... at
fakness.he tells much of truth, some of
whichis to tho glory and . some to the
