MONTHLY MAGAZINES.
Frank Leslie,s Popular Monthly.

The March number is, we think, one
of the best yet issued of this deservedly
favorite magazine. The 12S quartO
pages are filled with choice, entertain
ing and instructive literature and there
are over 100 handsome embellishments,
besides very tasteful colored plate
frontispiece, "a Woodnymph." The
articles embrace various subjects, and
are by popular writers. "SOudan and
its CompliiSeations,n "Napol .sppt Mar Mar

exceedingly interesting. Eta w.
tinued, and there are short stories,
sketches, ETC., by Nathan ID. Urner,
Isabella Crawford, N. Robinson, Eta

There are poems of great merit, and
comprehensive miscellany of pleasant
reading matter. The price is only %
cents for a single number, and years

The March Atlantic.

The March atlantic continues DR..
Mitchell's story, SIN War Tme," and
Mr.. Crawford's story, "a Roman Sing
er." These, though very unlike, are two
of the best and most interesting serial
stories that have appeared from Ameri-
can writer's for long time. Henry A.
Clapp contributes an admirably intelli-
gent and discriminating article on Hen
ry Irving, the famous English actor.
Mrs. f. ID. r. Blanchard, an American
lady who has lived in Italy for many
years, describes "a Pisan Winter"
which includes story. Henry M. Ly-
man has an interesting paper on "The
Discovery of Peruvian Bark" which,
under the name of quinine, is so much
used in medical practice. THE Jour

The Domestic Monthly for March, 1884.

The March number of the Domestic
Monthly is one of the best numbers ever
issued of this popular magazine, that is
just concluding its twentieth volume.
The Fashion articles which give the
character to the Monthly are full of the
new spring styles, charmingly and
infinitely illustrated and described.
The Fashion Department ofthe Domestic
is the most complete ofany of the fami-
ly magazines. 1t has more pages de-
voted to the novelties of dress and ia
shion than any other periodical. 1t is
above all, practical, and adopted to the
requirements of people in moderate
circumstances.
The Literary Department of the
Domestic Monthly is always excellent
far better than any of the other maya
zines for women. This month there is
a capital installment of Mrs. Cashel
Hoey's new novel, "The Lovers
Creed" which is appearing exclusive
iy in this magazine. There are short
stories, poems, articles on the Harvard
"Annex" and other notable education
al establishments for women. A use
full series of papers on "The Usages of
the Best Society" is continued, and
there is also Foreign Correspondence
and the usual well-edited Departments.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, in her
Household Department, has pleasant
and useful talk with housekeepers, old
and young. The Domestic Monthly grows
better every month, and its successive
engagements during the past year
prove its deserved popularity. 1t is
unquestionably the cheapest good maya
zine published.
The Domestic Monthly is published al
S53 Broadway, corner Fourteenth Str,
New York, at 81 a year, with fifty cents
worth of domestic" Patterns as a
premium to each subscriber. For 81 rs,
the magazine, the patterns, and a Man
ual of Fancy Work, with 400 designs,
and full directions for working, are
sent.

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine.

The March number is promptly on
our table and is filed as usual, with de-
lIghtful reading matter-edifying and
entertaining, and admirable embellish-
ments. The popular editor, T: De Witt
Talmage, ID. D., contributes a character

A Chinese Wall for American Art.

There are some who would like to ar
range the tariff so as to exclude "bad
pictures" What nonsense! Who is
to Judge whether or not picture is
"bad"? Your "bad' may be my
good" If You pick up a Millet in
Paris while Millet is comparatively I'M
known, has the cheapness of the pur-
chase anything to do with the art-value
of the painting?
The fact is, art should be free-frce as
air, free as sympathy, free as thought
and imagination. Art should be foster
ed,-not protected" by the clumsy de-
vices of tariff,-and the way to foster
art is to give it liberty. Any attempt to
restrict the free Interchange of art
throughout the world is an attempt to
impede its development. AS we have
said above, the aboriginals had this
country a good while to themselves
what did they do for American art?
Unless we are to go back to savagery we
must admit no impeachment to the free
and stimulating entrance into America

Fifteenth Century Fun.

The capannucci was one of the pecul-
lar carnival institutions of the Floren-
tine boys of old, as dear to their hearts
as is the eiection-night bonfire to our
young New Yorker of, to-day. A great
tree would be dragged into the center
of some broad street or square by Il
crowd of ready youngsters. There 1t
would be set upright and propped or
steadied BY great fagg1dts and and pieces G Of
and as the blaze famed from the fag-
gots or crept up the tall tree trunk, all
the yelling boys danced in the faring
light. Then, when the capannucci fell
with great crash, the terrible young
Florcntine urchins never omitted to
wage, over the charred trunk and the
glowing embers, "a furious rough-and-
tumble fight.-From "Historic Boys" by

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm.
provements in the making of silver cases
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar.
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softens it
To test the superiority of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 8 OF. weight
press it squarely in the center when closed
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Do Low Temperatures Produce "coldsp''

10 Low Temperatures produce ColdsP'
No man can freeze himself into a
catarrh. In cold weather the hospitals
of our Northern cities sometimes re-
ceive patients with both feet and both
hands frozen, with frost-bitten ears and
frost-sore eyes, but without trace of
catarrhal affection. Duck-hunters
may wade all day in frozen swamp
without affecting the functions of their
respiratory organs. lce-cutters not
rarely come in for an involuntary
plunge-bath, and are obliged to let their
clothes dry on their backs; it may re-
suit in a bOwel-complaint, but no Ca
tarrh. Prolonged exposure to cold
storm may in rare cases induce true
pleural fever, very troublesome atfee-
ton, but as different from a "cold" as
headache is from tOOthache-the
upper air passages remain unaffected.
Sudden transition from heat to cold
does not change the result. In winter
the "pullers" of a rolling-mill have Of
ten to pass ten times al hour from the
immediate neighborhOOd of furnace
to the chill draught of the open air;
their skin becomes as rough as an
armadillo's, their hair becomes grizzly
or lead-colOred; but no catarrh. On
my last visit to Mexico, assembled the
peak of Orizaba from the south side,
and reached the crater bathed in per
spiration; and, following the guide
across to the northwest slope, We were
for ten minutes exposed to an ice-storm
that swept the summit in blasts of fitful
fury. Two of my companions, boy OF
sixteen and an old army surgeon, were
not used to Notwithstanding, and
could hardly walk when we got back to
our camp in the foothills, but our
lungs were none the worse for the adj
; venture. DR.. Franklin, who, like Ba-
con and Goethe, had the gift of antici-
pative intuitions, seems to have s,ls-
