BOOK NOTICES.
“The Dogs and the Fleas,” by One of
the Dogs, Douglas McCallum, 90 Wash
ington street, Chicago, 111. Cloth $1; pa
per 50 cents. This is a satire, the volume
containing 280 pages and 86 illustrations.
It deals with public men and events of
current history.
MAGAZINES.
A prominent feature of the rMidwinter
Century is its fiction, which has not a lit
tle variety of scene and style. There is
the first part of a four-part story by Mary
Hallock Foote, entitled “Caeur d’Alene,”
dealing with the labor trouble in the
mining regions of Idaho. The story plun
ges in the midst of love and peril, and has
illustrations by the author. "A Romance
of the Faith” by Herbert D. W’ard is a
piece of fiction, the scene of which is laid
in Ur of the Chaldees, the hero being
Abraham, Father of the Jews. February
being the birth-month of Lincoln and
Washington, the number contains ma
terial relating to both. It presents two
heretofore unpublished portraits of Wash
ington, one a newly discovered miniature
by Ramage, made in October. 1789 and
the other a portrait in black-silk embroid
ery on a white-silk ground by Rowlinda,
daughter of James Sharpless, the English
artist. The two articles of a unique sort
are "The American Tramp at Home” by
Josiah Flynt, which gives the writer’s
personal experiences among tramps along
the line of the New York Central rail
way, and which is illustrated by Pape and
Baker; and a paper on “Indian Music”
by Professor John C. Fillmore, of Mil
waukee, in continuation of Miss Fletch
er’s investigations of the subject printed
in January. There are many other
good things in the number. The Century
Company, Union Square, New York.
All readers of the January St. Nicholas
who remember how Kipling’s hero,
“Mowgli,” threatened to get even with
the great tiger, “Shere Khan,” have only
to turn to the sequel, “Tiger! Tiger!” in
the current number, in order to know how
completely Mowgli wreaked his vengeance
ujion his striped enemy. Brander
Matthews, in his set of papers upon
American men of letters, takes up Ben
jamin F’ranklin s career, and in a few
pages puts together an admirable critical
sketch of perhaps the most interesting
American of the colonial and revolution
ary period. “Good Neighbors” is a fanci
ful story by Tudor Jenks, and tells of a
suburban resident who lived next to a
family of giants—real giants. Itiais ex
cellently illustrated by Bensell. William
T. Homaday continues his natural history
studies by an introductory article upon
“The Quadrupeds of North America,”
and then gives the more important facts
about all “The Monkeys of North Amer
ica.” The illustrations to the series are
of remarkable merit. “Babette,” by
■“Mary A. Winston, is the story of a brave
girl, in the time of Frederick the Great,
who outwitted a band of Cossacks, and
thus became heir to her father’s estate.
The foregoing are only a few of the things
that make the number a valuable one.
The Century Company, Union Square,
New York.
Harpers’ for February has an excellent
collection of fiction in the number for
February. It contains five short stories
—one of Mr. Matthews’ Manhattan vign
ettes ; an American story on Italian soil
by Miss Woolson, entitled “A Trans
planted Boy;” one of Richard Harding
Davis’ Van Bibber tales, entitled “An
Anonymous Letter;” a story of the
French revolution by William McLennan
entitled “An Adjustment of Accounts,”
and “The Flower of Death,” a sketch by
Flavel Scott Mines. Fiction, in fact,
leads the table of contents this month,
with Mr. Du Maurier's “Trilby.” The
more serious features are well up to the
standard set by Harpers’. Frederick
Remington’s “In the Sierra Madre with
the Punchers” is one of these, while
others are “Lord Byron and the Greek
Patriot,” by Dr. Henry Hayman; “A
Bar of Iron,” edited by R. R. Bowker,
and “Walking Sticks,” (the insects, not
canes), by Samuel H. Scudder. Other
contributors are W. D. Howells, (one of
his popular farces), Edward Eggleston,
and Howard Pyle. Harper Brothers,
New York.
Three notable articles appear in the
February number of Scribner's Magazine.
They are Cosma Monkhouse’s study of
Burne-Jones and his pictures, Philip Gil
bert Hamerton’s critical essay on “The
Prayer of the Humble,” by Jean Geoffroy,
and Mr. W. A. Stiles's article on orchids. A
reproduction of Geoffroy’s painting illus
trates Mr. Hamerton’s article; reproduc
tions of some of Mr. Burne-Jones’ most
characteristic paintings illustrate Mr.
Monkhouse’s; and exquisite drawings of
orchids by Paul de Longpre serve to
adorn Mr. Stiles’. The number contains
other interesting articles. An article of
unusual interest is from an expe
dition by Joel Chandler Har
ris, “The Sea Island Hurricanes.” off the
coast of South Carolina. It was this
strange region which was devastated by
the great storms last autumn which killed
2,000 people and left 30,000 homeless and
suffering. Among them for the past few
months Miss Clara Barton, with a staff of
workers from the Red Gross society, has
been dispensing much needed relief.—
Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York.
The February number of Godey’s Mag
azine appears in anew and most attrac
tive cover, and with many innovations
and improvements in the inside
of the magazine. In every respect
this number is the most attractive ever
issued by the Godey Publishing Company.
It has a choice and varied contents, the
opening article, “How to Make Money in
Wall Street,” being from the pen of
Henrv Clews. There are the opening
chapters of a novel, “This Man ana This
Woman," by Margaret Lee, with illustra
tions by Paul Nimmo Moran; a short
story, “The World's Gain.” by Henry
Milford Steele; “Superstitions of the En
glish Miner,” by S. P. Cadinan; “Fero
line,” short story, by Lucy C. Lillie,
“The Valley of Roses,” by Prof. A L.
Rawson : “The Royalty of Hawaii,” by
Herbert Stanley Kenton; "American Wo
men in Mexico.” by Mary Kobinson
Wright, and other interesting articles.
Godey’s Magazine, 21 Park Row, New
York.
A conversation between James Whit
comb Riley and Hamlin Garland, the poet
and the novelist, respectively, of western
farm life, is recorded b.v Mr. Garland in
McClure’s Magaziue for February. t

prosperous lad at school, down through
episodes of patent-medicine peddling and
"blind” sign-painting, to the present,
when the public buys $30,000 worth of his
poetry a year; and with the charming
pictures which accompany it, it is sure to
be of great interest to all of bis admirers.
Another article in the February McClure’s
that will find ready attention is Arthur
Warren's character study of Philip D.
Armour, exhibiting Mr. Armour as it
does, not only as one of the greatest busi
ness men in the world, but also as one of
the greatest philanthropists. S. S. Mc-
Clure, 743-745 Broadway, New York.
The methods of an actress are always
interesting, and they are particularly so
when an actress of such renown as Ade
laide Ristori consents to tell them, as she
does in the F’ebruar.v Ladies’ Home Jour
nal. The “Aberdeen Waltzes,” by Mrs.
Frances J. Moore, to which was awarded
the first prize in “the Journal's musical
series" of last year for the best waltzes,
are given in the full piano score and are
as melodious as they are “danceable.” A
most interesting article on “My Tabooed
Playmate, Adelina Patti,” is contributed
by her one-time child playmate, Katherine
B. Foot. The concluding paper of Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s series of
“How Fauntleroy Really Occurred,” will
be read with mingled pleasure and re
gret. The Curtis Publishing Company,
421-427 Arch street, Philadelphia.
The vast importance which the elec
trical interests of the present day have
assumed may be inferred from the fact
that a recent issue of the Electrical
World, the leading weekly journal de
voted to electricity, contains no less than
100 pages, and over 300 business announce
ments in its advertising columns, an
amount of matter only exceeded by that
of one other industrial or technical paper
in the United States—the journal repre
senting the iron interests. The Elec
trical World, which is an enterprising
and handsomely illustrated weekly, is
called “the most popular technical jour
nal,” and is said to have more subscribers
among the general reading public than
any other technical periodical. Electrical
World, 41 Park Row, New York.
The name of Oliver Wendell Holmes in
the list of contributors to the February
Atlantic Monthly is a reminder of the
Autocrat’s unbroken connection with the
magazine. F’rancis Parkman is the sub
ject of this latest poem by Dr. Holmes.
A valuable portion of the same number is
devoted to H. C. Merwin’s article on
Tammany Hall—a clear, dispassionate
statement of the great political machine's
methods and achievements. In fiction
Mrs. Deland’s “Philip and His Wife”
proceeds with increased interest; Grace
McGowan Cooke contributes a very fresh
study of character, "For Falstaff, He Is
Dead;” and the Rev. Walter Mitchell be
gins an amusing two-part story of clerical
life. Houghton, Mifflin <fc Cos., 11 East
Seventeenth street. New York.
The complete novel in the February
number of Lippincott's is “The Picture of
Las Cruces,” by Christian Reid. The
scene is laid in Mexico, and chiefly in the
ancient house of a noble family, where an
American artist undergoes a curious ex
perience. “Dr. Pennington's Country
Practice,” by Butler Munroe, is a lively
and amusing story. “Dick,” by George
Grantham Bain, tells of an offlee boy
whose unobstrusive virtues wrought a re
form among editors and reporters. “A
House that Jack Built,” by Philo
Andrews Tucker, is a quaint sketch with
a moral. Champion Bissell contributes a
careful and interesting "Study of Pawn
brokers.” Lippincott’s Magazine,' T. P.
Lippincott, Philadelphia.
Expensive Economy.
Some people begrudge the little money
that an Allcock’s Porous Plaster costs,
and then when they are racked with pain
from a lame back, or from the soreness
arising from a cold, they will spend any
amount of money to relieve the pain. If
they only had one of these world-renown
ed plasters on hand they would be saved
a vast amount of suffering and be consid
erably richer. At the first sign of stiff
ness of the joints apply one of these plas
ters without any delay. The soreness
will be greatly relieved at once and soon
disappear entirely. It will be money
saved to have them on hand, to say no
thing of the comfort they bring.
