FRANK LESLIE'S POPULAR
MONTHLY FOR May.

America has its castles as we'll as
European countries, and those on the
Hudson River have as interesting q
story in a way as the famous buildings
on the Rhine. John P. Ritter tells this
story in a literally illustrated article
entitled Some American Castles" in
the May number of Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly. The Fair Maids Of
Morocco" are pictured and described
by Frederick A. ODER in the same
number. Another important article is
''Japan's Three Invasions of Corea, by
TeiiChi Yamagata, a relative of the
great Japanese marquis. 1t is accom-
panied by many excellent pen and-ink
drawings of views in Japan and Corea
The attractive series of papers on
American Universities and Colleges
is continued with an article on the
University of Minnesota, by John
COchrane Sweet, A we'll known The

From the article entitled Future Of

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.

Three articles of more than usual in
terest and value to students of social
conditions and the agricultural develop
ment of the South are published in the
April number of the Southern States
magazine, of Baltimore, DR.. Charles
W. Dabney, Jr., has a very striking
article on the relation of climate to
crops, his text being illustrated by
several graphic charts of frost lines,
mean temperatures, rainfall, humidity
and life zones. The deductions from
the article are that the South, owing to
the existence of all the important life
zones in broad belts runnir g down the
east and up the west side Of the ALLIE,
ghanies. is a country capable of pro
ducing the greatest variety of agricul-
turaI and horticultural products, all
those, in fact, belonging to the tenn
perste zone, reaching from apples to
oranges, from barley to rice. The
Southern farmer has from sixty to
ninety days more in each year in which
to work. and during which the sun is
working for him, than his Northern
countrymen. While this is true, the
climate is of great equality, not subject
to the extremes of either heat or cold.
Neither hot waves nor bl'Ezards occur
80 frequently in the Southeastern States
as they do in other sections of our
country. The rainfall, moreover, is
as abundant as in the most favored
land on the globe, and is we'll distributed
throughout the growing season, giving
sufficient moisture to growing crops
even in the wRrmest months, when
their demands are greatest. General
droughts r rare, and hot winds are
not known.
Underline title, FINANCE and Phil
anthropy," Edward Ingle discusses the
proposition that undue and uneconom1c
migration from the country to the
town, most marked in the past decade,

movement from the city to the small

to exchange a futile ambition to accu

NEW FASHIONS IN CARRIAGES

Never before we're there 30 many
new and 30 elegant designs and CON,
binations in carriages, buggies, phae,
tons and other vehicles as now More
than ever, are manufacturers giving
attention and study to pleasing shapes
and graceful contours. Whoever has
any thought of purchasing a new car
riage, should post himself before buy
ing, on the newest styles in vehicles.
The best way we know of to do this lg
to send for the Columbus Carriage
Manufacturing Co. 8 catalogues, which
they send free to any one who write
for them Handsomely designed and
printed, they are verltable carriage
fashion plates, showing the very latest
and most desirable ideas in carriase
construction. The Columbus Carriage
Manufacturing Co whose factories
are at Columbus, Ohio, have long been
famous for the beauty, quality and re-
liability OF their vehicles, and their rep
utation for integrity and fair dealing
is country wide.
