Those who are looking up on the question of the dispute between Portugal and Great Britian will find a twelve page article on the subject in the January issue of the Fortnightly Review. The February number also contains a discussion of the subject.
German literature students will find an interesting little article in the correspondence department of the February Fortnightly on "Mr. Gladstone; German Literature; a Protest," by Karl Blind. In the same department is found an article on "Oxford Tutors and their Professorial Critic," which those who wish to read about methods in English universities will find interesting.
Students taking newspaper work will and on excellent article on "The German Daily Press" in the Nineteenth Century for January.
Political Science students will find Prof. Huxley's articles in the Nineteenth Century for Januar, and February well worth reading. They are entitled,"On the Natural Rights of Man," and "Natural Rights and Political Rights."
"The Land and Its Owners in Past Times" is the title of an article in the Nineteenth Century for Februarv which will interest the students in Land Tenures.
When the class in The Rise of Democracy reaches the study of the Swiss Republic they will find it worth their while to read the article in the Edinburgh Review for January on, "Democracy in Switzerland."
The members of the Literary Club study Parliamentary Law at each alternate meeting. If any of them are interested in the historical study of Parliamentary procedure they will find that subject treated in the Edinburgh Review for January.
"The Road to Australian Federation" and "The Future of English Monarchy," are questions treated quite fully in February's Contemporary Review.
"The Wages of Labor," in the Edinburgh Review for January, "The Eight Hours Question," and "The Taxation of Ground Values," in the Contemporary Review for February, are articles which will be found very interesting to students of general economics.
The Missionary Review and other periodicals treating of missionary work have been contributed to the reading room by the mission board of the Y. M. C. A.
The Westminster Review contributed to the reading room by the Excelsior Club, has interesting
articles in the February issue on "Middle Class Education," "Property in Land," and"The making of Germany."
The March number of North American Review contains very able articles on "The Limitations of the Speakership." The two side are maintained by Speaker Ree and Ex Speaker Carlisle.
We are glad to see the New York Life in the reading room. It is by far the best of American humorous papers, and now the students will have something besides the Fliegende Blaetter to fall back on for jokes.

AN INTELLECTUAL RACE.
A Missionary's Ideas Regarding the Ma-
says of New Zealand.
Rev. James F. Taylor attended the meetings of the American Board of Missions held recently. He is an Englishman who has seen service in most parts of the world, and though now too old to engage in active work he takes a keen interest in every movement having for its object the conversion of the heathen. In a chat a reporter had with him previous to his departure for home he said that of all the natives he has come in contact with those of New Zealand interested him most.
"The Maoris, as the aborigines of New Zealand are called," said Dr Taylor, "are a noble race, and offer a startling contrast to the now almost extinct aborigines of the neighboring island of Tasmania, physically and intellectually. The Tasmanians, if indeed if any of them are yet alive, can not be taught to count beyond twenty, the number of their fingers and toes, whereas the Maoris are capable of a classic education. Indeed, many of them are in the New Zealand Parliament, and one of them at least—Wiremu Otaki—is an accomplished speaker. As warriors, lighting man to man, they are equal in every respect to the British, upon whom they have often inflicted disastrous defeats. Unfortunately, the white man's rums and the white man's vices are driving them out of existence, and, though a dash of their blood will show itself in the future Australian, as a race they are bound to go. The most erudite ethnologist can not tell how the Maoris got there. The islands composing New Zealand are 800 miles from the nearest continent, and the largest boat the natives have is no bigger than an Indian canoe. Then they resemble neither the South American Indian nor the native of the Australian continent. Their own theory is that the Great Spirit was fishing one time, and threw His line down from the sky to hook a whale. The hook stuck in the ground, and He pulled and puffed until He drew a mountain up to the skies, which is now called Rangarii. He flew along the clouds in a rage, and tried His luck 600 miles away with no better success, for this time He brought up Mount Egmont, a peak 10,000 feet above the sea level. Both these snow-capped peaks may be seen to this day by mariners far out at sea as a proof of the correctness of the tradition.
"It is not easy to convert the Maori, but once converted he is a pious and intelligent Christian. They all ride on horseback, and are very fond of fine and bright-colored clothing and jewelry. It is nothing uncommon to meet a Maori lady coming into town in complete riding habit stride of a fine horse, puffing away at a short clay pipe under her vail."—N, Y. Star.
