Literary Notes.

The Art Amateur winds up the year in a
royal fashion, giving as one Of its two colored
supplement plates superd picture of pears,
over foot high, and two and half feet wide,
II is perfect fac-simile of the original oil
painting, and framed. il would deceive any
one. 1t is really marvellous how such pic
ture which would cost many dollars at any
art store. can be given away with magazine
for thirty-fve cents, together with all the
other supplements and scores of illustrations
with the letterpress, treating of every kind of
practical art work. No more suitable Christ
mas or New Year present could be found than
a subscription to The Art Amateur, which is
really invaluable to all having homes to furn-
ish or decorate, or wishing to learn oil, wa
ter-color or china painting, wood carving,
brass-hammeriug, book and magazine illus
trating, and art needlework. Price, $4.OO n

Now that everybody is looking about them
to see what Magazine they will take for the
coming year, we would advise them TO in
guire into the merits OF Demorest's Fam
lIy Magazine. We have Just received the
January number of this wonderful publica-
ton and cannot speak too highly in its praise.
IL IS certainly what its name implies, a family
magazine; for in it will be found something
TO amuse or instruct every member of the
family. The first article, telling how Uncle
sam 8 Paper-Money is made, is beautifully
illustrated, and furnishes the most interest
ing information upon the subject that we have
ever seen. "The Infant Monarchs of Eu-
rope" is not only illustrated with their por-
traits, but with those of their parents as well;
'The Undying Voice''is finely illustrated
article about Edison's wonderful Phono-
graph, aud includes portrait of the greatin- |
yentor himself. The children will be de- |
lighted with 'Snow Sculpture" which gives |
them models enough to keep them busy all |
winter. Besides these, there are "Untll One |
O'Clock" A Comedietta,) "Scarlet Fever and |
other Contagious Diseases, Their Causes and |
Treatment" "Aids to Beauty" "Maniac |
Bells, Wedding Breakfasts" ""All Sorts of |
Teas, u" "Home-Made Candies" "Anecdotal
History of the Table," and numerous other
articles and stories, also fine Fashion De-
partment; and all beautifully embellished
with over two hundred fine illustrations, the
browning one of which is "At a Partisan
Florists" a handsome oil picture, well
worthy of a frame. The mystery is how such
publication can be furnished for only $500
per year. 1t is done, however, by w. Jen-
lings Demorest Is East 14th St., Ne v York.
