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 It presents two heretofore unpublished portraits of Wash ington, one a newly discovered miniature by Ramage, made in October. 1789 and the other a portrait in black-silk embroid ery on a white-silk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 contains Mr. Kile.v s own account of his career from the time when he was an un THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1894. 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. Br andreth’s Pills contain no irritating matter.—ad. P. P.
