NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The Atlantic Monthly for April brings an
inviting list of articles. None are specially
remarkable and yet all are worthy of atten-
ton and reading. Perhaps "The Giant in the
Spiked Helmet" will be found, in the present
feeling concerning Prussia, about as enter
tanning as anything this number has.
The April number Of Demorest's Monthly
Magazine has fine display of the spring
fashions, colored plate and cuts, and good
variety of literary matter. 1t has something
to say about home matters and Jennie June
contributes articles on the marriage question.
| Published ty w. Jennings Demorest 1913
Broadway, New York. Price $500 year.
| Peterson's Magazine for April gives its
patrons an engraving, colored fashion plate,
cuts of various kinds, music, tales, poetry,
and great deal of reading matter useful in
cooking. Published by Charles J. Peterson,
Philadelphia, at $500 per annum.
The Edinburgh Review for January has the
following articles France; Lives of Rossini
and Berlios; Business of the House of Com
mons Hayes History of the Sepoy War;
Facts and Fables at the Admiralty Laughs
Problems of Nature and Life; The Foreign
Relations of China; The Military Forces of
the Crown; Morris's Earthly Paradise The
Treaties of 1856 and 1867.

tice that the large and handsome illustrations

there is good pictorial display.

The North British Review closes its exist
ence with the January number, now before
us. We are sorry to say as much. But the
publishers in this country, the Leonard Scott
Publishing Company, New York, have made
arrangements to supply its place with the
British Quarterly, giving their subscribers the
January number gratis so that they may have
the whole issue for the year.
Scrbners Monthly maintains the excellent
character with which it started. While the
articles of this number are in fair proportion
of the lighter and imaginative there are sew
eral solid and substantial ones. One on the
Anthracite Problem" gives more light on the
coal question than any we have seen else
where.
In the April number of Lippincott's the ar
ticles which will attract most attention from
thoughtful readers, are one on Charles Fran
els Adams and another on Emanuel Sweden
borg. The serials are continued and there
are miscellaneous papers worthy of attention.
The April number of Harper's Monthly is
as entertaining as any that have gone before
it. In the variety and juiciness of what it
serves its readers, this old favorite is unsur-
passed. 1t holds its way king among the
magazines for the people, never tagging, al
ways interesting, and while it pleases conveys
to its readers great amount of instructive
and useful matter. The contents of this num-
Der must and will speak for themselves.
