Not every month g literature brings so
rich and varied an offering as is to be
found in the April number of the Forum.
And among the richness of this treasure
house an article by President Timothy
Dwight, Education IN Boyhood, -
shines out with peculiar brilliancY.
This is subject on which few are better
qualified to speak than is this vener-
able educator. The paper entitled
''Truth and Fraud in Spirtualism, - by
Richard Hodgsen, is written in spirit of
frank sincerity that must silence objeo-
tors who represent extremisn. He
does what he says all must do, suspend
judgment until more satisfactory evil
dence is placed before the scientific
world that the claims of the spiritualist
are justifable.
DR.. Lyman Abbott defends "New
Theology from the charge of identity
with ''No Theology, - asserting at the
conclusion that while this allows no place
for God or for religion, that finds the
life of God in the soul of man, and such
is the only life that is truly human, be-
cause it is the life that is divine.

In looking over the the table of con-
tents of this review it is safe to assert
that the fifth article will first catch the
eye. Professor Huxley always finds in
telligent readers, aud when, as in this
instance, he writes on q topic of such
universally popular interest as the
natural inequality Of man he Is sure of a
hearing. The paper Is copied from
the Nineteenth Century, and
although lengthy well repays the
reader. His conclusions must carry
weight when it Is remembered
that he is one of the deepest thinkers and
closest ANALYSTS of the times. He
scouts at the idea advanced by commun-
lists and anti-religionists, that individual
ownership of land is the result of force
or fraud, or that all religions are the re-
suit of sacerdotal cunning and i'm
posture.
"Darwin on the Fuegians and Pata-
gonians'' is few advance sheets from
his "Journal of Researches, - and is of
sufficient interest to create q desire to
posses the entire work when it shall be
issued.
The charge that education unsexes wo-
man is nobly met by Alice B. Tweedy in
the question, ''Is Education Opposed to
Motherhood?' The article is in reply to
one by Mr. Grant Allen, published IN the
December number of the Popular Science
Monthly.
The St. Nicholas for April opens with
an extremely well written and beautiful
~ illustrated article, that is recital by
one Of Stanley's officers of six years
spent in the wilds of Central Africa.
The paper viii occupy several numbers
and has all the freshness and charm Of
actual contact and keen observation.
Mrs. g. V. Jamison is contributing a
story, "Lady Jane,'' that opens most
delightfully."-, and the little woman,
who is the heroine, and her boy
friend, are likely to make the tale one Of
interest. An interesting lesson on the
use OF chopstlcks, and the usual admira-
BILE selection of pleasing variety make up
the April number. Send for the st.
Nicholas, published by the Century COM
pany, New York and costing So year.
