The April issue of Woman is full of
entertaining and instructive matter.
Edgar Fawcett's new novel, "a Democrat
izing Marriage" is continued through
several chapters. Florence Percival con-
tributes a lively sketch, entitled San
April Fool" the denouement of which
leaves one in condition of delicious mys-
tifcation. Lesbia's Fancy Work." by
Grace Winthrop, is a graceful love story.
In IAN Island and an Idyl," IL. L. Spen-
Ger relates a romantic episode connected
with the island of Grand Manan at the
mouth Of the Bay of Fundy. Laura Clay
discusses "rhe Responsibility of Women
to Society" Anna Olcott Commelin de-
scribes some women's club, with retro
spective glance at the history Of clubs
from earliest times. Under the title of
Zone Woman's Idea," Eleanor Corbet
imparts some excellent notions relative
to tasteful apparel. There is, Of course,
the usual amount of useful information
in the several departments" ofthe mag
azine, which are attracting universal at
tention by the mastery manner in
which they are handled and sustained.
The foregoing is only partial list of the
contents of the April issue, which, like

afflicted with elephantiasis, stopped at
Third and King streets, Wilmington, and
exhibited his swollen limbs for che pur-
pose of soliciting charity. lie gathered
a large crowd around him, and the
niekels were poured pretty freely into
his extended hat. This is a disease
common in the East and West Indies,
and so called from the skin of the affiict-
cd limb becoming rough, scaly and
enormously swollen, so that it resem-
bles the leg of an elephant. It is said
there is no cure for it, and that being a

of The LEDGER to the effect that the pa.
per does not reach them regularly; and
in some cases not at ALL We are sorry
that such is the case, and are at loss to
know the cause of the trouble. The pa
pers are taken to the postofIice every
Friday afternoon in ample time for the
mails north and south on the evening of
that day. We feel very sure the trouble
does not exist in the postofIice in this
town. That it does exist elsewhere is
painfully apparent, and we intend to
make very full investigation, and thus
bring to light the failure of duty on the
part of those who wilfully hold back pa
