CURRENT LITERATURE.
The February Magazines.

WILLIS j. ABBOT, the political editor
of the Chicago Times, who is recognized
by his fellow journalists as one of the
ablest and cleverest political writers in
the country, whether one is in sympa-
thy with his views or not, tells the story
of the pOpulist campaign in Chicago in
the Arena for February. Mr.. Abbot
had the advantage all through the cam
paign of last autumn of being in touch
with the leaders of the different ele-
ments that are gradually forming new
party, with new social and economic
aims in American politics, and his pa
per has value for all those who want to
get at the facts regardless of dominat.
ing prejudces.
THE leading article in The Forum,
"Should the Government Retire from
Banking?" is contributed by William
G. Cornwell, president of the New York
State Bankers Association, who points
out very forcibly the folly of the gov.
eminent in usurping the function of
note. issuing which rightly and naturally
belongs to the banks; Mr.. Alfred 5.
Heidelbach, one of the largest inter
national bankers in New YORK, ex-
plains " Why Gold is Exported" giving
as his principal reasons disgust abroad
with recent developments in railroad
management and fear on the part of
foreign investors, arising from our cur
rency troubles, that if they invest
money here they will not get back as
good money as they gave.
THE North American Reuie,u opens
with three timely articles on the cur
repcy question, which are bracketed
together under the title of "The Finan-
cial Muddle." They are written by
Secretary of Agriculture j. Sterling
Morton, Representative William M.
Springer, chairman of the house COM
mittee on banking and currency, and
Henry w. Cannon, president of the
Chase National Bank of New York,
and formerly comptroller of the cur.
rency. This important symposium is
followed by a trenchant article on
Literature and the English Book
Trade" from the pen of Ouida. The
literary feature of the number is fur
nished by Andrew Lang, who contrib
utes some delightful Recollections of

sess unique interest owing to the close
friendship existing between the two
writers.

"ShOOiinE Stars" or reteors.

When we get down 10 talking Shooting
stars we begin to brush around in tho
realm Of something which all know some
thing ahoat-at least, great deal mora
than we do about supposed fiery lakes in
such gigantic worlds as Jupiter While we
may think that we known all about shoot
ing stars, the following will show that
there are bypaths in every branch Of
knowledge which even the wisest among
the common herd know but very little
about.
For an instance, Flammarion has an
nounced that the visible number Of shoot
ing stars which go sizzling through tho
upper strata Of our atmosphere every "a

While the mills need all the water they
can possibly get considerable is allowed
