The special articles cover American subjects (canoes, composers, money abroad, women illustrators and photographers, the Astor family), British topics (peerage, dukes, queens), historical figures (Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon's sisters), and cultural subjects (Paris stage favorites, mountain climbing, animal artists like Landseer and Rosa Bonheur). Named contributors include Rupert Hughes, Frank W. Crane, and Richard H. Titherington. Serial stories include "Corona of the Nantahalas" by Louis Pendleton, "The Daughter of Festus Hanks" by Robert McDonald, and "The Silver Thread" by Frank A. Munsey.
