ness of this gifted woman. Mildred

der Salvini, illustrated, that will be of

The Mothers Nursery Guide for
January is so full of good things that
are intended to be of help to ineXperi-
enced young mothers that we who have
Outlived the need of such help are filled
| with something like envy as we turn its
clearly printed pages. Surely there is
no work so important as the mothers
work. 1t reaches out i'll every direc-
ton. 1t is of Importance and the first
Importance TO society i'll church and
state. since these mothers have a power
over the coming citizens that no other
cOulG have. As this is true, how i'm
portant it is that mothers should be we'll
taught, not only of the sacrednesS of
their high calling, but as to the best
means by which the mere physical wants
of helpless children should be attended
to. Such publications as this should be
in the hands of every mother. The best
things in the current number are
"Baby's Wardrobe. ''Klndergarten,"
Home Talks" 1.-THE Mothers Paria-
ment." Babyhood Publishing COM
pany, Beekman street, New York.
Our Little Ones and the Nursery.
The Russell Publishing company. 1876
Sumner street, Boston. One Of the best
Of the magazines for little people, full
of bright little stories and poems suit
able for the reading of little boys and
girls at mammals knee. The pictures,
too, are so bright and taking that no
child with the least eye for the beauti-
full or the least imagination could resist
them. Among its contributors are Emily
Huntington Miller, Ruth Braden, Mar
garet Johnson and e. Ii. Moor.
There is no fashion more popular or
more lasting than eating; therefore, a
periodical whose province is to post its
readers on all gastrOnomic questions
ought to be equally popular and equally
lasting. Table Talk processes to be such
a one. It's popularity is certain, and its
lasting quality may be judged from the
fact that the present January number
commences the eighth volume and year
Of ITS existence. 1t would be hard, per-
hapS, to estimate the exact amount of
good, in the shape Of domestic comfort
and economy, it has accomplished in
that time, but surely the amount has
been far more than enough to reward
the recipients for the paltry dollar a
year expended in its subscription.
Young housekeeperS, and old ones, too.
look to it for Information and advice,
and not in vain, as its crowded and va
ried Enquiry" department bears ample
evidence. Phe current nun ber is full
of interesting and seaSonabie matter re-
Iating TO the table, as well as to other
departments of the household. Pub
lished by the Table Talk Publishing

The Holiday Gossip, Magazine De-
voted to Literature and Laughter. BnSi-
ness and Sense. is a very bright period
ical that has just made its first call at
our table. Coming, as it does, from the
warm Southland, how great contrast
it calls to mind as we look through the
window at the snow driven hitler and
thither by cold uorth wind; but great
er contrast is presented by the design OF
the magazine. 1t is devoted to laughter
as we'll as literature. We Americans
are said to be too little acquainted with
merriment; we are, in fact, q serious
people. Our humor is too often only
hairs breadth from tears. This magazine
devoted to literature is most oppOrtune.
Long may it live. 1t is already of age.
but let us hope that it may register a
hundred years least. Its home is In
Mobile, Ala and the most OF its con-
trlbutOrS are Southern people like F. G.
De Leon, Julia Truett Bishop and John
r. Thompson.
Music, monthly magazine published
by w. S. B. Mathews, is one of the best
and most reliable publications of the
kind in the country. The January num-
Der is full of good things of inestmable
value to music lovers or students. 1t
opens with picture in all the delicacy
of the photographers art of w. c. E.
Speboeck, who has also an article. illus
trated, on Chicago composers. There
is a shors sketch of the wonderful boy
singer. Cyril Tyler. III Edgar Kelley's
"PuritanicaMusic' the author discusses
the method Of Mr.. Keley's work and the
methods that prompted it in very in
telligent way. The literary matter of
the magazine is OF the best, Its range is
wide and embraces matters of interest
to all musicians. 240 Wabash avenue,
