MAGAZINES
The StUiSs Cross for February is an ex-
ceptionally good number The leading

tions of Guatemala" and a very valuable
article it is. The number contains great
deal of valuable information. Al Lafayette
Place, New York.
With the January number, Woman COM
menced its regular issue with circulation
of $1,000. 1t has already met with sue
cess that is almost unparalleled, and is rec
ognized as one of the leading periodicals of
the day. 1t is essentially the magazine for
women, and for the home. Woman is
healthful in tone, and may be safely placed
in the hands of our daughters At the same
time, it is adapted to the enjoyment and in
tellectual improvement and development of
the whole family. The best known names
in literature have been on its list of con-
tributorS from the first, and the high char
acter of its contributions will be maintained
throughout. In its book reviews it has the
following reference to the librarian
of the Aston library, New York. "There
is probably no person living in America so
competent to discuss book lore as the well
known librarian of the Aston Library,
whose most recent production forms one
of the most interesting and instructive of
the valuable series which is rapidly and &C
ceptably increasing in number under the
title of The Book Lovers Library. The
volume is replete with curious information
and quaint gossip relating to books and
their authors, gathered from innumerable
and often obscure by-paths in tue field of
literature, and constituting really charm
ing addition to the collection, whether ex-
tensive or small, of every genuine lover of
books"
The Monteaglean is steadily growing in
interest as we'll as popularity The January
number is particularly good one. The
Monteaglean, Nashville.
Outing for February contains variety
of articles on sporting matters, besides fic-
ton, poetry and general miscellany. An
article on "a Bout With Broadswords, p"
by Eugene Van Setback, contains a great
deal of information relative to the broad
sword exercise. Outing, 140 Nassau street,

The chief interest of the unique February
Magazine of American History centers
about the writings and the portraits of the
illustrious Washington. 1t is substantially
a Washington number-a striking birthday
tribute to Washington's memory. Twenty
eight unpublish cd Washington letters grace
its pages twenty-six having been copied
from originals in the British Museum and
edited by Mr. William Henry Smith, of
the Associated Press, who shows with much
skill, in parallel columns how Sparks
altered and amended letters of Washington
which he partially printed. The remaining
two of the twenty treasures are con-
tributed by Dr.. Thomas Adds Emmett, one
of which, written from Massachusetts in
1775 to Lund Washington at Mount Vernon,
discloses the fact that the British had
threatened to capture Mrs. Washington

that time Of the New England soldie'y
Magazine of American History TAB Broad
way, New York city.
The Overland Monthly for February has
come, containing good deal of interesting
matter The illustrations are in an article
on San Diego, by T. S. Van Dyke. In the
historical line there is another diary of a
man present when gold was discovered at
Suffer & Marshall's Coloma mill 1t was
kept by Azariah Smith, and lends strong
confirmation to the position of Mr.. John 5.
Hittell, (who annotates the paper, that the
date of the discovery was Jan. "A, 1S4S, not
JAN 10, as has been generally held. The
heavy article of the number is a weighty
argument by Judge Gray, of the Supreme
bench of British Columbia, on the question
of commercial union between the
United States and Canada. Judge
Gray is is opposed to COM
mercial union, supposing that the two
countries are to remain separate. The short
stories of the issue are very attractive and
the poetry of the Ouerldnd'S usual high
grades. TIL Overland Monthly Company,
APO Montgomery street, San Francisco.
February Wide AtoaIe has some very in
teresting articles and number of fine illus
trations. The article on the great Chinese
wall is alone worth more than the price of
the number. John Quincy Adams at IL
and Rosa Bonheur'S IAN Old Monarch" are
two very fine illustrations. d. Lothrop &
! Co., Boston.
