Belford,s Magazine.

The principal feature in Belford's
Magazine for June is the complete
novel, "a Bargain in Souls" by
Ernest De Lancey Pierson. 1t Is u
brilliant and humorous story, de-
scribing how husband, the editor
of a New York evening daily, and
his wife, becoming mutually dis
satified with their lot in life, each
thinking that the other has the
easier position, exchange souls
through the Intervention of ma
gician. The ludicrous and uneX-
pected consequences of the bargain
may be left the reader. The other
items of fiction are "Polly and l
were Sweethearts," bright and
clever story of disappointed love,
by Rheda Louise Childe; and
"Through a Glass, Darkly," by Mar
garet s. Briscoe, of Baltimore, the
reflections of q girl on the night
before her wedding to an elderly
and wealthy U. S. Senator, sketch
which, though unpleasant, is we'll
worth reading for its really re-
markable power, The opening ar
ticle is an able discussion of "The
Wage SYSTEM" by Eva Mcdonald,
who, though only young girl, has
already achieved the position Of
Estate Lecturer" OF the Minnesota
Farmers Alliance. This article is
sure to be widely read in the West,
on account of the fame of the wri-
ter. Franklin MacVeagh's able
address before the Sunset Club,
Chicago on "Foreign Trade and
Reciprocity" is printed in full.
Victor Yarros contributes an ex-
tremely well written article on
"The Disease of Genius;" to which
Frederick II. Jones makes reply
under the title "Are Men of Genius
Wicked ~ "a Sexgenarian," in an
excellently written paper on "Phys-
ical Culture" gives some very re-
markable Illustrations of the great
value of walking in promoting
health. Fred Lyster writes as bril-
liantly and authoritatively as usual
on the recent Music Festival in
New York, and other matters nu-
sical and dramatic; and DR.. Oswald
gives his customary budget of
popular Science" In poetry the
best items are "Presentment," Il
fine sonnet by Edgar Snltus, and
"The Dead" by w. B. Seabrook,
brief quatrain containing Il striking
thought. In the editorial depart
ment, "The Speakership of the
Next house" and "rhe Tariff and
the Farmers Alliance" are ably
discussed; and the usual "Passing
Notes" and "Book Reviews" COM
plete an excellent number.
