An Investigation that will PAY.

A Chinese baby Ia really the funniest
looking little tot that can be imagined,
and we have never seen such q lifelike
portrait OF one as that published In the
July number of Demorest's Family Mag
azine, which contains 1.-THE Oriental Lega-
lions at Washington" Besides this baby
OF the Chinese Minister, are pictures OF
his wife and suite, and views of the differ.
ent rooms in the Chinese Legation; and
this highly interesting article Is further
embellished with other curious and beau.
tiful portraits and views from the several
Oriental Legations. Nobody who has
any interest in art should miss the
Familiar Talks on the Different Schools
OF Art" which are superbly illustrated In
this number. They are a liberal educa-
ton, and will enable anyone with no pre-
vious knowledge to converse knowingly
about the great painters Of all ages and
their works. 1.-THE Story Of the Millen-
mum" grows in interest, and the illustra-
lions this month show what kind Of
houses we will live In in A. d. 10000, be-
sides the kind of garments we will wear,
and depicts the routine of everyday life,
at that remote period. The July number
would not be complete without something
about fireworks, and the bill is filled by
telling with pen and brush Just how they
are made. To enumerate all that ap-
pears In this grand number, would take
too much space, but the Columbian Ex-
position, of course, comes in for its share,
and water color, representing an invert-
ed old straw hat i'm which three cute little
puppies have taken refuge, makes the
name Full to the Brim' as appropriate
as the picture Is desirable and worthy of
framing. All these attractions under one
cover sell for 20 cents. Published by w.
