Magazine Notices.

The February number Of Harper's Maya
zine opens with an important paper entitled
The Gospel History in Italian Painting, by
the Rev. Henry Van Dyke, Jr. The progress
of Italian art is in this connection, traced
through its symbolic, realistic, and idealistic
periods, as illustrated in the wall-paintings of
the Catacombs, the mosaics of the Middle
Ages, the art of the Byzantine type, and final
ly in the great works Of Giotta, Masaccio Bot
ticelli, Perugino, Leonardo, Paul Veornese and
Raphael. The article is illustrated by pictures
representing this line of progress Four of
these are engraved from photographs of the
original paintings, viz, Giotto's The Entomb-
ment, Perugino's Jesus Giving the Keys to
Peter, Raphael's The TRANSPORTATION. and
Paul Veronese's The Feast of Levi. Mr. Con-
ways series of delightful papers on the En-
gish Lakes is concluded in this number. The
illustrations of this part, by Abbey and Par
sons, cover large range of picturesque SUBJ
jects. Mr.. G.. W. Sheldon contributes a sec
ond paper on the Old New York Volunteer
Fire Department, illustrated with some very
interesting pictures. One OF the most inter-
esting of the illustrated papers of this number
is that on Literary and Social Boston, by Geo.
P. Lathrop. Not only is the ar ticle full of the
most entertaining gossip, but the illustrations
also are interesting. Fine portraits are given
of w. D.Howells, E. P. Whipple, R. W. EN-
erson, O. E. Norton, T. B. Aldrich, James T.
Fields, Edward Everett Hale, John Boyle
O'Reilly, and Julia Ward Howe; and there

CHICAGO Tribune: The Chinese labor
scare in California ought to subside. There
are barely 10000 Cinnamon in the State all
told, out of total of $4,000. And the
number is rapidly diminishing. There will
be noimportation of servile labor after the
new treaty and the legislation under it go
into effect. 1t is quite unnecessary under
the circumstances, for the white men of Cal.
ifornia to object to the employment of the
Chinese already in this country. Yet this is
what they are doing. The last number of
the San Francisco Merchant contains rec
ommendation of business firm for the
reason that they ''employ only white labor"
Suppose that principle should be applied in
the Southern States! Would not the whites
of California then hold their Southern
friends responsible for narrow-minded race
prejudice and the persecution of an inoffen-
sive people?

THE Legislature of Nebraska is spoken of
as ''the boy legislature. The body is COM
posed of ia members-thirty Senators and
eighty-four members of the House: 102 Re-
publicans, II Democrats. and 1 Fusionist.
Only eleven members of the body are over
80 years of age, and forty are under 35
iwenty-nine members came from Illinois,
and twenty-three from Iowa. The majority
of all the members settled in Nebraska since
1870. Thirtv-six of them are farmers, eight
teen are lawyers, seventeen are merchants,
eight ara physicians, five are railroad men,
six are editors. Of the 102 Republicans,
sixty-seven were soldiers in the Union army
during the Rebellion; and of the thirty-four
who were not in the army fourteen were un-
der 13 years of age and seventeen under Is
years of age when the War began.

THE Monetary Times tells how the forests
disappear: To make shoe-pegs enough for
American use consumes annually 100000
cords of timber, and to make our lucifer-
matches 100000 cubic feet of the best pine
are required every year. Lasts and boot
trees take 200 cords of birch, beech and
maple, and the handles of tools 100000
more. The baking of our bricks consumes
100000 cords of wood, or what would COW
er with forest about $4,000 acres of land.
Telegraph-poles already up represent SOO,-
900 trees, and their annual repair consumes
about 100000 more. The ties of the rail-
roads consume annually thirty years growth
of $4,000 acres, and to fence all our railroads
would cost $45, 5,OOOO 900, with yearly expen-
diture of SIS, 100000 for repairs.

as if written by authority, says: General
Garfield has not, up to the present time,

invite to accept Cabinet honors, except in
one case, that Of Senator Blaine, who will
hold the office of Secretary of State. Be-
yond this there has been no decision, nor

required little logic and less learning,
save such as spring from practical wis.
dom, for the House to say what its
numbers should be. II the number
were increased the chamber would have
to be enlarged. Even now half the
members were cut off by remoteness
from the chair. Ii this House increased
its numbers in proportion 10 the increase
in population, in 1910 it would have six
hundred members, representing 100,
000,000 people.
1t would be useless waste OF money
to postpone this legislation until the
next Congress. 1t would compel extra
sessions OF State Legislatures in twenty
two biennial States. He had been in.
formed by member from Pennsylva.
MIA that an extra session would cost
that State 100000 At that rate the
cost to the twenty-five States would not
be less than six million dollars. In any
event the North continued TO exceed
the South in Congress, in the Electoral
College, in the Senate and in popula.
ton. The wonderful increase of i've
States west OF the Mississippi was the
salient feature Of the census. Intwenty
years they had doubled their numbers,
leaping from one-tenth OF the whole
population to one fifth. These five
States had increased 81 per cent. No
State east of the Mississippi had at
tained to 80 per cent, while the Pacific
States had gained IS per cent. during
the ten wears. These extraordinary ad-
vances in greatness and glory were due
to the representative system, which
struck no name, however humble or de-
pendent, from its roster or nationality.
