Show THE AUGUST ISSUE OF THE CALIFORNIAN is a particularly strong one. Its contents are more than usually varied and interesting. Professor H.G. Hanks the State Mineralogist, opens with an article on "Ca-a Grande," the celebrated ruin in Arizona. Professor Davidson contributes an able paper on the "Abrasions of the Northwest Coast." A.W. Havens has a sketchy article on "Modern Archery," and John A. Wright has a thoughtful and powerfully written contribution on "Probable Change in American Government." A very readable article by Charles H. ?? on "Future Gardens in California,", "An Adventurous Nun," by Phillip Shirley; and a well written and very humorous account of a "Trip into Sonora," by James Wyatt Oates, are among the attractions. In the way of stories, Miss Anna Alexander completes her charming serial, "St. Bartholomew;" Mr. W. C. Morrow has a short character study entitled "Bags, Sacks, and Bottles," and Helen Wilmans contributes a story, brim full of laughter, entitled "Jack's Boys." Literary articles are furnished by John Vance Cheney and T. H. Rearden; while the poetry is contributed by Seidle? E. Anderson, Carlotta Perry, and Chas. R. Phelps. The usual departments are added, and the entire magazine is what is claims to be, "the cheapest and best magazine published." It is a credit to the Pacific Coast, and any family without it is behind the times. For sale at all book stores and news stands for twenty-five cents.
