The February number of the New
Bohemian contains all the sparkle and
spice which we have learned to ex-
pect in this sprightly magazine. The
opening story, The Last Man, by
Elizabeth Cherry Hare, is distinguish
ed by its fin de steele qualities; and,
While 1t is a rather rollicking love
story it contains much genuine senti-
ment and some splendid character
Sketching.
In 1884 Eugene Field wrote a story
which he called "The Werewolf" When
it was finished he laid it aside and a
year afterWard entirely reWrote it. In
1885 he again took it UP and revised it,
and during the nine years between
that time and his death in November
death came too suddenly. and the story
was found, unpublished, among his eff
fects. Mrs. Field concluding to have
the story appear, gave 1t TO the edi-
tor of the Ladies' Home Journal, in
which magazine all of Mr.. Field work,
outside of his newspaper articles, was
presented to the public. The story will
be printed in the next issue Of the
Journal, strikingly illustrated by Mr..
Howard Pyle.
The notable features of the February
Progress of the World, are the accounts
of some recent marvellous discoveries,
such as the device of DIR. A. Graham
Bell, by which he transmits sound and
ordinary conversation along sun
beam, in the same way that we now
use a telephone wire; also the new light
accidentally produced by Professor
Roentgen, that penetrates solid sub
stances and can photograph the skel-
eton Of a living man.

Home Journal, considers editorially
"When Work Fits Woman a text
under which he enters emphatic ana
vigorous protests against the mad rush
Of women to seek employment IN mer-
camille and manufacturing establish
ments The article is evidently inspired
by the recent public utterances OF one
of the largest employers of women IN
Pennsylvania, who, in raising his voice
against this evil, asserts that more
wrong has been done to thousands OF
girls who have gone into our CONNER

these utterances and goes |
farther, saying: 1.-THE fact cannot be |
disputed that no single factor in mod |

our young womanhood as this mad race |

world.
