The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-01-31
FEBRUARY MAGAZINES.


This February issue of LesIie's Month
ly is full of entertaining features and
whlle the number has a decidedly indiyid-
ual character, 1t appeals by it's variety
to the most diverse tastes. For those
who love the water there is an article
on the Fishermen of the Great Lakes"
race trained to one of the most fascin-
ating Of trades. Fer the lover of art
there is a pleasant paper of "reminiscences
OF Rtdgway Knight, filed with beautiful
Illustrations For those who prefer adj
venture, the Sand Hogs of Caisson Sink
ing will prove absorbing, and all who
care for the study of human nature will
read with keen interest the true history
of The Last of the Fighting Editors"
a class which has given to the Journal
ism of the West and South it's piquant
flavor.
The strong, fresh interest in history
which the crowding experiences Of the
last four years have given to the men
and women of the United States, Is
abundantly recognized. The best histor-
ian of our navy, Mr.. John r. Spears, con-
tributes paper upon the "Mutiny on the
SomerS,' that extraordinary occasion
when, to preserve the discipline of the
American navy son of the United
States secretary OF war was hung at the
yard arm. And we wish to call atten-
ton to a charming romance of his tory:
text the dramatic situation depicted upon
the cover Of the magazine, the "Surren-
der of Gen. Burgoyne."
Among great numbers of the American
people, love for the study of geneal-
ogy is steadily waxing, but We doubt
whether the Daughters of the ReyoIu-
ton or the Colonial Danes themselves
could pass an examination upon the gem
eral laws of descent. 1t is interesting
to know that all of us Anglo-Saxons are
cousins Of Queen Victoria, and equally
so that we may cali any prisoner of ths
Tombs cousin, and still be we'll within
our rights. The subject is treated by
Mr.. Duncan Rose.
The fiction in this number maintains
a particularly high standard. Among
all Mrs. McCuloch- w iIiams, stories we
remember nothing more effective tEan
''Martena's Cu'yus Ways" a story of
negro life, and the Salvation of Tobias
Miller" by William r. LEIGHTON, forms a
capital sequel to +"The Case of Sam
Weeks" which appeared in December.
We do not like to close without mem
tionfng a parable, emitted. Who's
Land?" 1t win make the reader laugh.
then think, then laugh again.
