There are a good many features of interest in the “Pall Mall Magazine” for May, both in the way of illustrations and reading matter. Mr Edmund Garrett contributes an article on Cecil Rhodes, which shows some sides of the character of the dead Colossus not generally known to the public. .An article on “The Tower of London,” and another on ‘The Rebuilding of London,” both capitally filustyated—the New Piccadilly at Hyde Park corner makes the frontispiece of the number—the reader a good opportunity of contrasting ancient and modern London in their most characteristic aspects. An amusing and clever skit, on some of the poets of the day is produced in Alice Fleming's “Odes for the Coronation.” Other articles of interest are G. A. Storey's “Recollections of the Royal Academy”; “The Evolution of Paris Fashions," by Frederic Lees; “Prince Henry in America," by an American Observer; “In Westminster Abbey," by Mrs Murray Smith; etc., etc. The fiction in the number is chiefly represented by a well written story, called “The Generosity of the Baron," by Mrs George Ross.
