the first of his Stories of the Town" se- ries, written for the Journal. is in the au- thorS characteristic and most delightful vein. Mary F. Wilkins Little Marg'ret Shell" second of "Neighborhood Types" sketches, is uniquely refreshing bit of pen portraiture, quite equal to her first paper, which was given in the December Journal. Edith M. Thomas, the poetess, contributes poetic study in natural his- tory-notes of winter-under the caption of "A Watch in the Night of the Year" Rudyard Kipling's powerful short story, William, the Conqueror," reaches a splendid climax and it's conclusion in the January Journal, and Julia Magruder's romance, "The Violet" continues, in- creasing in its fascinating, absorbing in- terest Edward W. Box editorlaly talks with young men, answering a number of inquiries submitted to him upon business and social topics. Rev. Charles H. Park hurst, D. D. writes forcibly and enter tainly upon upon Memories of Our Childhood Homes," and announces that he will henceforth address himself to young men in a series of papers. Other contributors cover the field of fashions, discuss matters of etiquette, the baby, fortune-telling as an amusement and va rious topics of home interest. The de- partments are bright, attractive, instruc- tive and complete. Drawings by w. l.. Taylor, Charles Dana Gibson, William Martin Johnson, Alice Barber Stephens, Eliza beth S. Green and Abbey E. Under wood are among the strong artistic feat ures of the January Journal, which is exceptionally bright, fresh and interest ing in literature and illustrations, and which carries with it the explanation of its universal popularity.

CURRENT LITERATURE.
The Engineering Magazine.


 Three important leading articles of very timely interest are presented in the January number of the Engineering Magazine. The first is entitled, Repre- sentative Money and Gold Expectations" by Horace White, in which he shows that exportations of gold must inevitably fol- low an excessive issue of paper money, such as our silver certificates, green backs, etc. The conclusion drawn is that the only permanent remedy for existing financial difficulties is to retire the green backs and treasury notes, which are used to drain the gold reserve. The second ar ticle, entitled "The Cripple Creek Gold Mines and Stock Boom," by T. A. Rick ard, a distinguished mining engineer gives an expert and conservative review of the Colorado situation. 'The Future of the American Iron Trade" by James M. Swank, is very comprehensive re- view of the present outlook in that impor- tant branch of industry, in the light of fact and history.
 An article entitled, Are We Educating Too Many Electricians?' by Henry Floy shows that the electrical industries are already considerably overcrowded as compared with other branches of applied science. Additional leading articles are given, under the titles Are American Railway Rates Too High?" by H. T.. Newcomb; An Engineers Life in the Tropics" by c. P. Yeatman; "The Value of Good Architecture in Cities" by Barr Ferree "The Piece-Rate System and Shop Management" by F. w. Taylor '"The Law of Water and Modern Irriga- tion," by R. J. Hinton, and ''The Location and Construction of Dams" by J. B. Johnson.
 This number of the magazine demon strates the increasing number of essen- tialy industrial subjects which claim the most widespread general interest. The Engineering Magazine. Times Building, New York

uniuuo Mid-winter Magazine.

The New Years Ladies Home Journal brings abundant assurance that 1t has inaugurated the red-letter year of its ex- istence-that it will be better in 1896 than ever before. The best known and most popular contemporaneous writers and artists are represented in their best achievements. On the color page is re- produced Albert Lynch's famous paint ing, "The God-mother," in half-tone, showing the great work of the modern master in exquisite perfection of artistic detail. Mary Anderson de Navarro con- tnues the interesting reminiscence of her Early Days on the Stage" recounting her trials, disappointments and ultimate triumphs. Ex-President Harrisons pa- per in his This Country of Ours' series explains succinctly and lucidly the fed eral constitution, tells of its adoption and amendments and defines its scope and limitations. Edna Lyall, author of Donovan We Two" etc., contributes an instructive -paper in which she re- cords her Early Literary Influences" and her first and subsequent successes as a novelist. Frank R.

The following editorial paragraph from a recent number of the Atlanta Consti- stitution. was written by Wallace P. Reed, of whom John Temple Graves wrote: His is the most eloquent of southern pens since Henry Grady's rest ed:
 'In all the long list of holiday novels there is not one which excels in thrilling interest, and which equals in the fasci- nation of it's style, "The Third World" Mr Henry Clay Fairman's wonderful TO- nance. which has just been issued in book form. It will delight thousands of readers"

I,et Fractional Strife End.

Party harmony seems to be the desire of the great majority of democrats these days, and they are casting about to find a man who will unite the factions of the party. When he is found he will be nom mated sand elected by an old-time ma jority
 At the present writing Capt. Joseph F. Johnston seems to be the most available man for the position. Notwithstanding the bitter fight even now made against him he has no words of censure for any one. He is minding his own affairs, abus- ing no one, censuring no one, but on the contrary, acting in every way as becomes a man who desires party peace and har- mony.
 Contrasted with this attitude we find the press opposed to him wildly beating the air in a vain attempt to prove him unfit for the nomination, and they are also wildly beating the bushes trying to scare up an opposition candidate, and. in short, doing many things to strife and discord and bring on a bitter fac tional fight within the ranks of the party Such actions alone show that the opposi- tion is not properly faction which will promote harmony.
 By all means let this factional fight be ended. Put aside the extremist and let the people get together upon platform broad and liberal and without hatred.- Canebrake Herald.
