The April number OF the Overland Monthly is
its spring number, but that does not mean that
the Spring poet has given full swing in its pages
There are light articles, sketches, and stories
in abundance, nevertheless. "Baboos Pirates"
a tale breathing the tropical spirit of the Malay
jungle, from the hand of the editor, ROunseyele
Wildman, whose style in these sketches is be-
coming too well known to need communication
Werner Z. Reed contributes "Lo-To-Kah and the
Golden Woman" another of his close studies
of tie better side Of Indian nature. These Utes
and Nayajos are as far from Cooper's noble red
man as they are from the degraded loafer about
Western railway stations. In the "True Tales
OF the Old West" Series, s. s. Boynton tells of
the exciting pursuit of a mining camp murderer
'The Coming of the River Piura" is a pretty
picture of a curious Peruvian custom of welcom-
ing with great public demonstration of the
coming OF the life-giving water to the dried-up
river bed. "Pampas Grass and Pomegranate"
shows the possibilities contained in these two
OF Californias peculiar cultures
The more solid articles OF the number are
"Ihe Jew in San Francisco" by Rabbi G. A.
Danziger, from the Hebrews point of view, and
by Mrs. X. NJ. Nesfeld, from the Gentle stand
point, long and fully illustrated article,-it is
curious to see where the two views agree and
disagree: "The Bible and Divorce" is a plea
by L. III. B,-who, it is said, is leading bust
ness man of San Francisco, for greater iberality
In Interpretation of Scriptural utterances on
divorce, and rejoinder by Rev. w. w. Bolton.
Rector of st. Mary the Virgin
Besides these is the usual variety of poems,
stories, and sketches, book reviews, editorials,
and the entertaining "As Talked in the Sane
tum."

Electric lights.

A Vienna professor gives it as his
opinion, after much research on the
subject, that all delicate persons and
those who suffer from nervousness
should never remain long in room
lighted by electric lights, its effect on
the nervous system being such that aft
er awhile they generally become uneasy
and depressed and find it impossible
to concentrate the attention for any
length Of time Young persons, on the
contrary, and those with strong nerves
find the influence Of the light extremely
beneficial, especially when the brain is
overworked and tired, the effect being
much the same as that of strong coffee
i. e., increased activity Of the nerV-
GUS system.

of treachery, i'll the presence of Repre-
