MAGAZINES.
The prominent feature in. Lippincott's
Magazine is always a complete novel.
That contained in the February num-
Der is by Alice Duer Miller, entitled
"A Man of His Word" In addition to
the novel, eight striking short stories
enliven the pages. w. A Fraser's
THE Capture of the Canton" is a rat
Ting good yarn of the sea. Beulah
Marie Dix contributes one of her
striking and unusual stories called
The Scythe in the Oak-Tree." This
is Puritan incident where a mans
"masterful temper" runs up against a
younger mans obstinacy. "Deceivers
Ever" by r. E. Vernede, is a bright
sketch of pretty, perverse girl who
hated boys. The cause for such a SEN
timent is the point of the story Elliott
Flower calls his humorous story THE
Demure Wife of Ned Barrett" An
obliging friend of the husbands who
consents to entertain her for a while
is doubtful about the applicability of
the adjective There are four papers
varied in theme in the February Lip
pincotts. AN Unwritetn Chapter of
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo's
brother-in-law, Paul Chenay; Wave
Motors" by John E. Bennett; "a West
African Trading Station in the Niger
Delta" by j. w. Davies, and "Chron-
icling Small Beer" by DR.. Charles c.
Abbott. j. B. Lippincott Company,
Washington Square, Philadelphia.
OF the new features of McClure's
Magazine for 1903 the most noteworthy
is VIII H. Lows magnificently Illus
trated first paper on "a Century of
Painting in America" dealing with
THE Fathers of American Art" The
list begins with Smybert and Jonathan
West, and ends with the great Gilbert
Stuart. 1t is delightful reading. Nc
Clure's has always given it's space
freely to accounts of Arctic explora-
ton. This time it is Robert E. Peary
who tells of his own Last Years of
Arctic Work" 1t is the narrative of
the expedition on which he discovered
and rounded the northern cape of
Greenland, with little doubt the north
ernmOst land in the world. Under the
general title 1.-THE Surgery of Light"
four writers have something very
timely to say about one of the most
important discoveries of medical sci
ence in the last dec for lu-
pus and kindred diseases. Miss Tar
bells History of Standard OH would
nowadays carry any number of Nc
Clure's along. The fourth chapter of
this~splendid work is called IAN I'm
holy Alliance" These and many other
articles make the number a notable
one. McClure's Magazine, 141-155
TWenty-tifth street, New York city.
Everybodys Magazine begins most
appropriately with an article on India
THE Courts of the Rajahs" This is
apropos of the great "durbar" at Del
hi. Both text and illustrations are
graphic opponents of the India of the
past and the India of to-day There is
a stunning character study of the adj
venturous Englishmen, Sir Rajah
Brooke-"A Viking of the East" by H.
S. Garfield. An account of Miss Jane
Adams of Hull House and what she
has done for the poor of Chicago will
be found very interesting. Booker T.
Washington continues Work With
the Hands," with the fourth paper Of
his photographed example. Oscar
King Davis Incidents of Service in
the Philippines and China" is full of
from several campaigns. 1.-THE New
Medical Science of Prevention" by Dr.
Thomas l.. Stednan is timely ex-
position of the real value of physical
culture. John Wanamaker, no Broad
way, New York.
The leading color pictures in the
February Century-the most novel and
curious in subject of any that mag |
azine has yet published-are from in
teresting and beautiful studies of the |
aurora borealis made by Frank Will |
bert Stokes while in the Arctics in the |
fall of 1892 and are richly worthy the |
subject. They reproduce in tint for |
the first time in a popular magazine |
the wonderful effects of the aurora. |
Mr.. Stokes, probably the first real |
colorist to visit the Arctic regions, was
with the Peary and relief expeditions |
on the Kite when he was privileged to
see some color displays worth all the
dangers and privations of the trip. His
word painting is as vivid and interest
ing as his color work. A valuable
article is that contributed by Henry
LOOMS Nelson on 1.-THE Overshadow-
ing Senate" 1t is handsomely Illus
trated. For those to whom the fiction
of the magazines is always first the
February number has provided liber-
ally Arnolds battle with the wilder
ness is the dramatic subject of the dra-
matte chapter in the February Cen
fury forming the third installment of
Justin ii. Smiths 'Ine Prologue of the
American Revolution" The sufferings
and heriosm of that terrible march to
Quebec make sad but inspiring read
ing Prof. George E. Woodbury., ed
itor of the valuable Poe-Chivers pa
pers, which are concluded in the Feb
ruary Century, finds in the correspond
ence evidence that Chivers, who
thought himself a genius, was to Poe,
who really was one, not unlike what
Alcott was to Emerson. William Gage
Erving's story of his 1,S00-mile trip
from Khartum to Cairo in an Adiron-
dack canoe is full of exciting expe-
riences, and tells something inciden-
tally of Egyptian affairs. These are
a few of the features of the number.

Country Life in America for Febru-
airy takes one to California and Flor
ida and to many pursuits Of the out
