Literary Notes.

An important feature of the New Eng
land Magazine for March is the article
upon Norwich University, in Mortified,
Vt. As the military college where Ad-
miral Dewey received his early training,
this university has recently been brought
prominently before the public, and plans
for its endowment as public memorial
to Dewey have already been consum-
mated. Its history is an interesting one,
and 1t is here faithfully recorded by Mr..
N. L. Sheldon, himself graduate. His
article is fully illustrated with views of
the university buildings and with por-
traits of distinguished alumni.
very varied table of contents is that
of St, Nicholas for March. An engrav-
ing of Monsieur Terriers painting of
Little Red Riding Hood is the frontis-
piece; aud the opening article is a story,
"In the Toy Country" by Mrs. Burton
Harrison, whose name Is usually asso-
ciated with fiction of a much more So
phistlcated sort. "How We Helped
Uncle Sam to Prepare for War" by
Henry LaMotte, U. s. N, Is spirited
account OF the purchase of torpedo boats
In Germany, just before war was de-
clared, last spring. Another paper bear
lag on the war is apprentices of the
United States Navy" by Joseph Cob.
lentz Croft. This will interest every boy
who has ever thought Of going to sea as
career--in other words, pretty nearly
every boy In America.
In the second installment of 1.-THE
Spanish American War" In Harper's
Magazine for March, Senator Lodge dis
cusses the coming of WAT, the destruc-
tioA of the Maine, the signing of the
Ultimatum, and the battle of Manila.
Among other special features of the
March Magazine is the opening install
ment of "The Princess Xenia," new
serial by II. b. Marriott Watson, author
of 1.-THE Adventures. Ofspecial interest
is an article entitled "The Massacre of
Fort Dearborn, at Chicago" by Simon
Pokagon, full-blooded Indian, whose
father WAS present at the massacre.
