and spiritual awakening of two highly
superior persons, who have managed to
reach mature years, and go through

The Century for March is an "Inaug-
uration Number and is one of series of
special issues which will make the pres
ent year of that magazine of more than
ordinary interest to its readers. The Cen
fury was never more popular than at pres
ent; its January and February numbers
went out of print within a week of issue
and it's two leading serials, Campaign
ing with Grant" by Gen. Horace Porter
and Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker" Dr.
Weir Mitchelrs novel of the American rev.
o.ution, are attracting widespread inter-
est. DIR. Mitchells story, the scene of
which is laid in Philadelphia, has doub-
led the sale of the magazine in that city.
This Inauguration Number contains sew
eral articles which will have a special in
terest to Americans at this time. One,
"Our Fellow"Citizen of the White House."
by Mr.. C. c. Buel, describes the official
life of a president, and is illustrated by
Jay Hambidge and others. Three from
tispiece portraits are given with the num-
ber-two of President-e.ect Mckinley, and
one of President Cleveland at his desk, all
of them made from photographs specially
taken for the Century. Mr.. j. B. Bishop
contributes an article on Inauguration
Scenes and Incidents" with stories and
pictures relating to some famous Inaugural
lions of the past. The librarian of con-
gress describes the splendid building just
completed for 1.-THE Nations Library"
and Mr.. William A. Coffin, the art critic,
writes of it's decorations. These articles
on the new library with the twenty-six
illustrations accompanying them, form the
most complete account of the subject yet
printed. The Century Company, Union
Square, New York.
Considering its size, st. Nicholas seems
to hold the most of any of the magazines.
Here, for instance, is the March num-
ber-not too bulky to go comfortably into
the pocket of the overcoat of any father
of boys and girls-and yet it finds room
for six serials in addition to all its wealth
of minor features and its two depart
ments. The serials, too, are worth while.
Here is Laurence Hutton's account of the
life of "a Boy Knew" that is, of hih-
self in New York city during the time
of the volunteer fire department; and that
remarkable story of the war and rebellion
told by MIR. w. H. Shelton-artist, author
and soldier; and Master Skylark," by the
delightful "Jack Bennett of Chillicothe;"
and Miss Baylors sketch of the spoiled
child. "Nino Barrow" and Noah Brooks
retelllng of Marco Polo's adventures
while "June's Garden" by Marion HILL
is a delight to children whose little cheeks
can dimple over fun, or whose eyes can
fill with delicious tears when the hero
inc is at her wits end. But, if you don't
read serials, there is still enough to sat-
isfy you Being the March number, in
a presidential year, there is an excellent
account of the Inauguration ceremonies,
from the ride to the capitol to the grand
ball at night, besides many other things,
specially interesting TO the little folks.
