"Concvmandeeipd by Krugsr" will find plenty of readers, a*- al>o v. ill thai most iniei'GStmg aiticle ou "The Conquest of tho JjTilc." by John l\"«ro, F.S.JL The opcaair cure for co-isumration claims a very pret-tily-il'ustrated Mtiele. and '"How American;Advertise" an extremely amuf-ing one. Of fictioi there i-.. never any rleailh, and thou;.h there i,s nothing very .striking in 'ifus number, we miy safely rank the stories as quite "up to the mark."

The Triad for M-uch i« a bri^i'l and interesting number, containing soma remarkably prtiity illustrations, notpbly a "study"' of r> child's head, by itcrris. A portrait of the kto MibS Mabel _\iillar also is given, and boine views of the depaitnre of the third contingent.
