St. Nicholas for July opens strongly and doea not flag to the end. lts list of contributors is headed by tbree ot the most popular female writers for children - Rose Terry Cooke, Emily Huutington Miller and Louisa M. Alcott. The number has also one of the liveliest and most natural boys' stories that have appeared for months, written by Bossiter Johnson and entitled ' A Great Speculation." No true boy will fail to appreoiate it. Then there Í8 an article on " How to Make a Boat," which will doubtless set hamnier and saw to going, and introduce to the waters of lake or river many a shapely cratt, built by the same young hands and arms that man it. üur patriotic pride is awakened by the fine portraits and anocilotes of "American Orators"- and the Foiirth-of-July spirit is addressed by an historical sketch of the first naval battle in American waters one hundred years ago, and by the coutrasted pictures oí " Our Flag" then and now. The account by a Nebraska woman of " How the Grasshoppers Came," thoroughly proves its authorship by the savor of reality in vivid portrayal of the devastation and dismpy which followed the coming of these small but destructivo marauders. Susan Coolidge and Sarah O. Jewett contribute two capital stories for girls. The poems of the number are excellent; the illustrations are up to the usual standard of Si. Nicholas, which leaves nothing to be desired ; and there are as many more attractions in the number as those we have men tioned.
