An article on the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum at Washington is full of interesting information which every American ought to possess. The biographi- cal papers are a sketch of Louiea M. Al - cotes noble and fruitful life, and a delightful moonlit of the boyhood of the poet Schiller. "The Land of the Lute," written and illus- trated;by Herbert Pierson, gives an artist's reministencep`of a sojourn in fair Provence, the home of the Troubadours, the anoien Rome of Gaul, and the birthplace of the re- doubtable Tartarin of Tarascon.
