One of the most entertaining and
useful magazines that has come to us
recently is Dtmorest's Monthly Maya
zine for April, which does not contain
a single article that cannot be read
without prof; and pleasure. "The Ad.
miral's Ward" is continued, and among
the shorter stores are "a Romance in
Purple, can April Adventure" "Joe
Baxter, Ranchman," and The "Story cf
the Maelstrom," a translation from the
Norwegian. Jenny June gives anoth:
er chapter Of "How We Live in New
York" Miss Kate Sanborn an amusing
sketch, entitled "The Conundrum of
the Nineteenth Century" Mrs. Hun
gerford one of her popular articles,
and Miss Hetta Ward "Home Art and
Home Comfort" These, with many
other articles OF interest, and "Current
Topics" and the various departments,
make up as interesting number of
this readable magazines as we have yet
had. Special atte ,tion is given to the
illustrations. and in this case with pal.
ticularly happy results. "The Flight in
to Egypt" steel engraving, and the
etching of Watts celebrated picture.
'Watchman. What ofthe Nights" be.
ing especially fine.

last Monday, with articles by such
and popular writers as III.
