The North American Review for March contains a timely and elabor ate paper on "The Famine in India" from the pen of Sir Edwin f Arnold. The thorough and long familiarity of Sir Edwin with East Indian affairs and customs renders him a high au thority upen this Important subject and its various aspects are de scribed in a most graphio and sys toniat'c style. The romances of real life In the March Romance aro all contributed by Walter Beverley Crane, a cousin of Steven Crane, fbese three stories show Mr. Crane at hia best in three distinct fields. His first story, "Mrs. Vane Flutterly," is a humorous de scription of how a New York wom an. Booking fame through the sale of her photographs.Jwas horrified to find her face copied by a patent medicine advertiser, and posted on bill-boards the country over. His second story, The Black Venus." is a darlog story la which the author has not feared to describe (acts as they are. His third story. "An Infamous Conspir acy," is Upmost remarkable gambl ing story ever printed. "Traveling in a private car ia a luxury that may now be enjoyed upon most American railroaas bv anyone who will pay z rail war fares, and for 18 berths, and bear the cost of the cook, meat and drink; bat it is most frequently enjojed, free of cost, by those who can per fectly well afford to pay tot it. The charms of this method of getting bout may be greatly overrated; and ' I have one friend who ridea in a spe cial car and tolls me that to travel in that way is not always agreeable." Those timely suggestions appear In "The Art of Travel By Land," by Lewis Morris Iddings, in the March Boribner's. together with other inter eating contributions. The March Issue of the American Queoa marks a striking advance over the foregoing number, tier Imper lal tsriusn uaiosty, ictoria. sur rounded by the entire sovereign qneens of Europe, makea a brilliant group presented in honor of the great jubilee -English subjects the world over are preparing to cole. brate. The fashions are fresh, varied , and some of them rarely beautiful and suggestive, courting comparison ; with the best art work in this line oa cither aide of the water. "The Dressmaker" is sure of a warm wel come from observant women who arc keen to note its valne, and house keepers arc congratulated upon The Queen's Cooking School, a new feature for lfarch; The Mirror of Venus,'' Recreation," Needle work," -Money Making for Women," all maintain their high atandard of excellence. The Forum for March contains a dozen timely and important articleo. The arbitration treatv is discussed by two competent authorities Hon. Frederick R. Coudert. the eminent international lawyer and ex-member of the Behring aea arbitration com. mission, and Theodore 8. Woolsey, professor of international law at Tale. Each has a few criticisms to make, but both agree in declaring the treaty to be a considerable atop toward a better order of things. There are plenty of other contri butions of Interest and instruction on matters of current discussion. The Forum is always up-to-date in all thlnga. Tne world will nave nothing more from the magic pen of the late Robert bonis Stevenson alter tne romantic novel of "St. Ives," which begins ablication in the March number of IcClure's Magazine. We know from Stevenson's letters to Sidnev Colvin, already published, that he was engaged on this novel down al most to the moment of his sudden death, and that it interested him deeply. He had the good fortune to leave it substantially complete. The last two chapters, perhaps, were not folly written; but he left such a summary of them that the course and conclusion of the story are quite satisfactorily shown. Godey'a Magazine for March is notable for the variety of its topics and the versatality of its general make-up. The leading article on Pastime Photography" shows what pleasing work can be done by a skill lul use of the camera and liviog models, it is fully illustrated with quaint and pretty pictures Follow ing this is "Modern Art in Piano Building," illustrated with pictures of the mostjbeautiful instruments of recent make. These pictures will surprise many people. Dresden Opera" receives treatment, with illustrations, and will interest not only musical people but general read era as well. Among the specials" of timely interest is "Handsome Newspaper Women," with portraits, in which Miss Helen Winslow, of the Boston Transcript, describes the life and work of several prominent bean tifal women of the press. The strong fiction piece of the issue is The Separatist Preacher," by May Kelsey Champion, who tella her tale in an intense and forceful manner. There are other lively and interest ing features.
