In connection with the annual meeting of the National Educational Association, to be 

 held next month in Washington, a geographic exhibit, illustrating the physiography,

The publishers of Leslie's Weekly will send that well-known illustrated newspaper 

 from now until October 1 for only $1.00, which is little more than half-price. Leslie's 

 Weekly has staff artists at all points of possible conflict in the war with Spain, and it 

 offers to its readers for a merely nominal sum an admirable pictorial and literary history 

 of the war. 



The Burlington's Number One, which leaves Chicago daily at 10 o'clock in the morn- 

 ing, arriving at Omaha at 11.50 p. in. the same day, and at Denver at 1.30 p. m. the next 

 day, has just been equipped with new Pullman Sleeping Cars, and also with a Pullman 

 Composite Car fitted with luxurious smoking-room, sideboard, cardtables, etc. The 

 Burlington is the shortest line between Chicago and Denver, and these added luxuries 

 seem to make it even shorter. 



A recent number of the Medical Record contained a notable article on the Asheville 

 Plateau in the Mountains of Western North Carolina, by P. Westray Battle, M.D., U.S.N., 

 in which the attractions of that famous region are admirably set forth. The Asheville 

 Plateau or "The Land of the Sky," to give it the name by which it is popularly known, 

 is from 2,000 to 2,500 feet above sea-level, and contains a large number of peaks from 

 4,000 to 6,000 feet and upward in height. Its scenery is highly diversified, and its cli- 

 mate as healthful as it is delightful. The Southern Pailway, which has done so much 

 to popularize this region by its admirable train service, will furnish any information that 

 may be required by intending visitors on application to any of its agents.
