LITERARY NOTICES

Kentucky and Tennessee, with illustra-
tions of the Mammoth Cave. Sted-
mans paper in this number is on Rob

worth the price of the magazine. 9th
er papers, besides the stories and poems,

bles in Madeira, etc. The publishers
announce still greater attractions for
the coming year. {:
We never find space to say all we wish
to say of Scribner's and St. Nicholas
All things considered, they are beyond
any magazines in the world in combin-
ing literary merit with popular attrac-
tions. St. Nicholas for December opens
with an illustrated article on the cele-
brated "Gartle1 Of The Gods,'' in Colo
RADIO. Among other instructive articles
are The Boy Astronomer, African
Fashions," etc. The wonderful adven-
lures of 6 Tcllumpin, Fourteen Mon
keys" and "The Comanches Trail"
are among the other attractions. In
teresting announcements are made for
the january issue which will contain
number Of Christmas stories.
Arthur's Home Magazine for Deem
Der contains all illustrated article on
Venice, the "Queen of the Adriatic,"
and OH Washington Irving. These are
followed by some seven stories and as
many poems by distinguished poets, and
great variety Of instructive and enter
tanning reading, I'LL of All elevating char
acter. T. S. Arthur & Son, Philadel-
plia.
Godey's Lady's Book for December
contains another of those Incompatible
fashion plates and a beautiful COL
ored plate entitled tout in the Storm"
Then follow number Of designs and
costume plates, which we hope to try
on Mrs. ADVANCE and the children if
the fashions do not change before they
get here. Each subscriber to Cooley
now receives a beautiful chrome enti-
tied 1.-THE Rescue" and we do not hes
itate to say that it is the best chrome
we have seen of the many which are
sent out 10y publishers as premiums
Louis A. Cooley, Philadelphia.
Demorest's Monthly for December is
a holiday number, with Christmas
Greeting and story. The usual pat
terms, costume plates, and illuminated
frontispiece grace the number. The
imitation of velvet in the colored plate
is SO perfect that one almost expects to
hear the rustic of the dress. W. Jen-
nings Domorest, n. Y.
The Little Corporal is here again with
a Santa Claus pack Of good things for
the little people. We have not space to
go into details, for we wish to occupy
what space we can give in rendering the
thanks of this community to MI. John
e. Miller, the publisher, and to his lady,
Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller, the ed
itor, for their efforts in behalf of the
grasshapper sufferers Of this REGION
Long may the Little CORPORAL live to de-
light the young, and when these grass
hopper times are over, may every boy
and girl in the National Colony sub
scribe for this delightful little maya
zine. John E. Miller, Chicago.
And still they come. Here is the De-
cember number of The Nursery, so full
of little poems, stories, and pictures for
all that class of little ones who are in
the delightful land which lies be-
tween babyhood and youth, that it
makes the fatherly mouth Of the AD-
VANCE water to look at them. One of
the many charming little pictures is en-
titled "IIusll! - alittle girl with a era
die containing three kittens which she
is endeavoring to rock to sleep. John
L. Shorey, So Bromtield St., Boston.
Hearth and Home announces that in
the number for December 26 it will be-
gin the publication, with pictorial il.
