The Art Interchange, of February 14th, 
conUins a beautiful design in color—" The 
Butterfly Fairy." Other attractive illustra- 
tions are six designs for a fish set. These 
are both beautiful and unique. A crab- 
apple design for a panel, and another, from 
the Royal School of Art Needlework, at 
South Kensington, for sketching on linen, 
are both to be commended. A charming 
woodland scene is given as a suggestion for 
crayon work, and another (an artistic ma- 
rine) as a study for pen-and ink sketch. In 
the " Notesard Queries" department, house- 
decoration, oil, mineral, and water-color 
painting, brass hammering, and kindred art 
topics are intelligenily discussed. 
The March Harper's Monthly contains an 
illustrated article on "St. Louis," that pos- 
sesses much local interest to western readers 
" Hints on Domestic Decoration," by Alex 
ander F. Oakey, well illustrated by the au 
thor; '' The Drainage of the Ever-Glades,' 
with ten maps, by W. Wallace Harney, be 
sides many other sketches, stories, poems
