Every bee-keeper, be he the owner of but one or 
of a hundred colonies, should be a subscriber to 
some paper devoted to bees and honey. The Ameri¬ 
can Bee Journal, published by Thos. H. Newman. 
Chicago, Ill., is one of the best of its class and we 
can heartily recommend it to our readers as being 
thoroughly practical in all its teachings. Our 
readers can obtain sample copies by sending a post¬ 
al card for it and mentioning this magazine. 
How many parents there are in our broad land 
who allow their children to spend from two to five 
dollars yearly in the purchase of cheap story books, 
that do not tend in any respect to make them either 
better or wiser, yet who would think it almost a 
useless waste of money to pay $1.75 a year for the 
Youth’s Companion, published weekly by Perry 
Mason & Co., Boston, Mass., and yet each number 
of this excellent paper contains as much reading 
matter as the average ten-cent story book, and is 
quite as interesting and much more instructive. 
Every number of Home Circle shows an improve¬ 
ment on the preceding issue. The May number is 
a capital one, containing several illustrated articles 
descriptive of Ancient’ and Modern Architecture, 
Natural History, Different Peoples of the World, &c. 
Among the writers, we notice the names of Dr. L. P. 
Brockett. Rev. G. M. P. King, Wm. E. Simonds, 
Wilson Flagg and others. An interesting story by 
♦‘Pansy” entitled, “An Endless Chain,” has been 
running for some time and increases in interest. 
The “Point Chautauqua College of Reading” is a de¬ 
partment of great interest to Students, conducted by 
Rev. Gilbert Fredericks, of Centralia, Ill. It also 
contains an excellent juvenile department. Pub¬ 
lished at Philadelphia, at $1.50 per year. 
The May issue of Demorest’s Monthly Magazine is 
exceedingly rich in literary articles, and is decidedly 
one of the most attractive numbers we have yet had 
of this instructive and entertaining publication. 
Among the many praisworthy articles may be men¬ 
tioned: “Art in its Infancy,” “The Farm of Flow¬ 
ers,” “The Bayeux Tapestry,” “The Mannish Young 
Woman,” Record of Women,” and “An English 
Glove Factory.” Jennie June gives another of her 
articles, “How we live in New York,” and Mrs. 
Hungerford furnishes some useful information 
about “Weddings, Home Art and Home Comfort,” 
“Current Topics,” and the various departments are 
all good. The illustrations are varied and excellent, 
and include a fine oil picture called “The Trio.” 
There is no magazine better adapted to the house¬ 
hold than Demorest's, and its moderate price makes 
it available to all. 
The June number of The Popular Science Month¬ 
ly is filled as usual to overflowing which renders it 
impossible for us to convey to our readers more 
than a short sketch of its contents. “Medical Quack 
and Quackeries,” “Recent Storms and Sun-spots,” 
“Vivisection in the State of New York,” “Quartz, 
Its varieties and formation,” “The Remedies of Na¬ 
ture,” “The Cost of Life,” “Our Marriage and Di¬ 
vorce Laws” are the titles of some of the more im¬ 
portant articles. An excellent portrait of the elder 
Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, with a sketch of his 
life and notices of his fruitful scientific works are 
given. The editors, Prof. E. L. and W. J. You- 
mans have assumed a great task in keeping the 
“Monthly” in the front rank of Scientific Magazines 
but they appear able to do it. It is published by 
D. Appleton & Co. New York, at fifty cents a num¬ 
ber or $5.00 per year. 
The extraordinary success of Gleanings in Bee- 
Culture still continues, and the Juvenile Glean¬ 
ings, a nice little off-shoot, has entered upon its sec¬ 
ond year. Bee-keepers, and especially beginners, 
will find much of interest in its pages. Its high mor¬ 
al tone will commend it to all who love the pure, the 
right and the virtuous. A year’s subscription aud a 
hive of bees would be an excellent present to a boy 
and tend to increase his love of home. 
The Kansas Bee-Keeper, published monthly by 
Scovell & Anderson, Columbus, Kansas, is an excel¬ 
lent Magazine and deserves a hearty support. We 
can heartily recommend it to our western friends.
