THE COSMOPOLITAN is hard to
equal in art or literature,-its en-
cravings and it's press work be-
ing the finest. Its leading arti-
Gle is Aerial Navigation st.
George Mivart writes upon theo-
ries of Evolution, which subject
he has madela study for years.
Fiction and Poetry are represent
ed by the best writer's. The po-
en- by lingo Deane with full page
illustration, the Woodland Ma
donna,- is a sweet little resting
place midway between love, poet
ry and religion.

stories, verses and sketches.

ed, The Lonely Lighthouse, A

cess,-great writers, kings and
princes, all encouraging him.

ries and illustrations that every
bright little scholar should have
a copy, only $2.40 a year, D.
Lothrop Co., Boston.
THE OVERLAND MONTHLY has
an ancient flavor about it,-a
taste of a different civilization
from the Eastern States,-caves,
volcanoes, land of the hunter
and explorer, &c. Its illustra-
lions are equal to some of those
in the Eastern Magazines. Cali
fornia literature and California
life deal withnature-life, health
and happiness. How we'd like
to live there,-just from reading
The Overland Monthly.

mick, a Virginian, the great in

The name seems to have been
derived from a tribe of Indians,
-Amerriques. The simplest
theory of names in early settle
ments is often the truest.
"Amerique" as a Latin name
would seem to mean America
and America-the two Ameri-
cas- and the Indian tribe of that
name probably belonged to South
America and being found by the
missionaries in this continent
were called by them "Ameri-
ques, "-belonging to the two
Americas.
