New Magazines.

The Advocate just published announces the election of P. L. Atherton '93 and Townsend Walsh '95 as regular editors, and of Paul Washburn '95 as business editor. The officers for the coming year are, President, C. W. Shope, Secretary, C. M. Flandrau, Manager, H. C. Quinby. The number is an average number, not so good as many but a decided improvement on the last one. "The Mug and The Pipe" by C. W. Shope is a poem very prettily worded. "Gamblers" by Louis How is an impossible story but is nevertheless interesting. A sonnet by J. M. is excellent. H. B. Eddy contributes an ambitious poem, "The Kingdom," which is more successful than his last attempt. "The Jealousy of Carlos" by A. S. Pier is, like the author's previous articles, short and very well done. D. H. Morris gives us a very happy little story in "Truth is Stranger Than Fiction." The College Kodaks are much below the standard. "Bloody Monday Night" by H. B. Eddy has some feeling. "The Doctrine of Selfishness" by H. H. Chamberlin is something unique. "Joe Johnson's Career at Harvard" by H. B. Eddy is better than the author's other articles in the number.

THE CENTURY.The Century for April will well reward any reader. It opens with a paper on the Chicago anarchists of 1886 by Hon. Joseph H. Gray, the judge who presided at the trial. It is a thorough historical treatment of the case from the legal standpoint, but nevertheless full of interest to the general reader. It is well illustrated. The third part of "An Embassy to Provence" is as interesting as the preceding. A good installment of "Sweet Bells out of June" is followed by "A Free Museum," a description of the Arnold Arboretum. Every Harvard man should read it, for it gives an account of a branch of the work of our University of which we hear little in Cambridge. This out door museum is unique and unsurpassed as an Arboretum. The description is in a pleasant style and the illustrations on every page are admirable. "Idy" is a breezy western story, written in a varied style and hence very entertaining reading. "Letters of Two Brothers," which is of such great historical value, is continued in this number. Another paper of considerable interest to students of history is "The Princess Anne" by M. O. W. Oliphant. It is filled with engravings of portraits of many notable persons of her time. Josephine Lazarus has given us a sympathetic sketch of "Margaret Fuller" outlining the chief events of her life, closing with a graphic description of her tragic death and an analysis of her character. A pretty little dialect poem is "I's Never Feared for my Ould Man." "Benefits Forgot" is continued. "The Heart of the Tale" is a melodious bit of poetry showing thoughtfullness and feeling. There are a few other short poems.
