tion whether children can outgrow
The writer, DR.. D. B. Delayan,
. we'll known authority on such subjects,
takes strong ground against the popular
idea that time will work q cure in the
case of chronic catarrh and shows clearly
the danger Of neglect. Another impor-
tant medical article Is that on Headaches
of Children" by DR.. @. L. Dodge. The
mothers themselves contribute number
of interesting letters to :he PARLIAMENT"

Elders,'' Corporal Punishment, etc.
An entertaining little drama, in one act.
entitled "The Debate Suspended, " shows
how one baby took matters into its own
hands while the parents disputed as to its

With the April number the Review Of
Reviews enters upon it's second year. 1t
has had an exceptional, if not an alto
gether unique, history. One year ago it
was known only to few discriminating
readers, and it's subscription list and
newsstand sales required only a few
thousand copies. It's edition the present
month is 10000 copies, and it is eagerly
read in every state and territory in the
Union and in every part of Canada. No
extraordinary efforts have been made to
push the magazine. There has been very
little canvassing done for it; no chromos
have been given to its subscribers; no
special inducements, such as an encyclo-
p@dia or parlor organ thrown in as
gratuity or offered at half price, have
been offered by the publishers. The
magazine has grown to an enormous cir
culation and to commanding influence
simply upon it's merits. It's readers have
liked it and therefore recommended it to
their friends. It owes not little to the
newspapers Of the country, which have
appreciated the journalistic enterprise
and vigor and the enormous amount Of
hard, honest labor put into every number
and which have most heartily recon-
mended it to their readers
"Our Common Roads," by Isaac B.
Potter, is the subject of the opening il
Illustrated article in the April Century.
Nothing could moro wildly depict the
wrong way to do it than some Of the
striking illustrations Of this paper. while
the right way is also fully pictured and
described. This is a subject which in
terests not only farmers, but all who go
on wheels, whether propelled by horse
power or man-power. The cause Of good
common roads is one that especially ap-
peals to the numerous army of bicyclers.
THE Mother and Birthplace of Wash
ington" is another timely subject treated
by Mrs. Ella Basset Washington-timely,
because the women of America are just
now particularly interested in oommem-

Professor Holden of Lick Observatory
has a popular paper on 1.-THE Total Solar
Eclipses Of 1885," very curiously illus
trated. A particularly out of-the-way
experience is hat described by Mr.. Whit
marsh in his account of Fishing for
Pearls in Australia. The author was
himself diver and tells some strange
things concerning that extraordinary
calling. In view Of recent war possibili-
ties and the revived attention to naval
matters. the article by William Elliot
Grifis ON the battle of 'The Wyoming
in the Straits Of Shimonoseki" has also .
present interest. In. 1858, while the
Wyoming was in Japanese waters on the
lookout for the C6Ifsder tie. cruiser
Alabama, she had an engagement with
seven japanese batteries and three men,
of-war. She destroyed'one of the batter |
les, sunk two Oh tho ships and disabled |
the third man-of-war. This brilliant ex-
plot was almost lost sight Of at the time |
owing to the greater importance Of events
