SOME DECEMBER MAGAZINES Among the most attractive current maga zines Is Frank Leslie's Popular Mouthly. The picture cover by W. Oranvllle Smith la ouo of the most brilliant productions of that artist , who han made a special reputation la this Una of work. The literary features ar exceptionally good. The December magazine number of th Outlook Is Its tenth annual book number. The Outlook was , It Is believed , the first of the weekly papers to publish a sperl.il Illus trated number a few weeks before Christmas , In which space and attention were largely devoted to books generally and to books of that Bcagon In particular. This annual book number has been , aa many evidences show , of special Interest to Outlook readent , not only In the articles and reviews , but alto In the very extended announcements by tha publishers themselves made In this number. It thus affords a record of the book output of the year and the season , This year a special feature ot the book number Is a fully Illustrated article about "Tho Best Ton Books of the Year" books which have been pronounced to tie tha best and moat Impor tant books of the year by vote taken among the'readers of the Outlook. The article does not consist of formal reviews , but of In formal talk about the books anil their authors. The current number of The Engineering Magazine will be found moat interesting to specialists In the various department * repre sented by that publication. On December S the New York Independent will bo fifty years old. The publUbera hops to make that Issue one of the best It has ever published , If not an event In the history of literary Journalism. The November number of Our Day prc cents on Its cover a color portrait of Hev. Frank Crane , formerly of Omaha. The sam number contains an article entitled "Is tha Old Book True ? " from the pen of the gifted divine. Alnsle 's Magazine for December IB a Christmas number at once seasonable and , lefroahlUK. Anthony Hope contributes th flrst dialogue ho has written sinceho fin ished hU famous "Dolly Dialogues. " Hon. CalVln S. Brlco furnishes an Interesting ar- tlnlo under the tltlo "An American Conquest In China. " J. Lincoln Steffcns writes on "The Rnal Roosevalt. " George R. Sims ! represented by a beautiful Chrlstmoa story , "God Bloas the Master of This House. " Robert Barr continues a serial , "Talcs of tha Rhine. " Ion Maclaren , on "The Old-Fash ioned Virtue of Kindness , " publishes a lay sermon that Is replete with tenderness ana charm. "Books as Christmas Gifts , " Is tha title ot a very uieful paper by Johu D. Berry. The long continued llfo ot the Living Ago would appear to be another Instance of the survival of the fittest In that It has ab sorbed every one ot Its numerous rivals or Imitators. Its present vitality Is evidenced by the announcement that the Eclecllo Magazine of New York will , with the lamia I of January , 1899 , be consolidated with tha J ' Living Ago and be hereafter known aa the i Eclectic Magazine and Monthly Edition ot Iho Living Ago.
