the shortest cut—which is the Review of
Reviews. Twelve hundred pietures a year;
departments giving the best that is in hI 1
tlie r.tlipr important, marrazines all over the
w rid; timely end iuiormiiig articles, al¬
most as iresli and full of news as a daily
paper; and Dr Albert Shaw’s interpretation
of the public men, events and issues ot the
month in “I lie Progress of the World."
