Mr. Oscar Fay Adams is editing for D. Lothrop Company a collection of the last poems of the late Horatio Nelson Powers, whose "Ten Years oí Song," gave him high rank among American poets. "Brotherhood," by Mary Cruger, just issued by D. Lothrop Company, is a labor vs. capital novel of the practical and helpful type. It is the only romance in this line of any importance since the startling anonymous story "The Breadwinners," published sonie years since, and is said to be fully as unique and interesting. The Mareta Wïde Awake opens three prize competitions to the young people - one in connection with Miss Rimer's "Figure Drawing for Children ;" another of cash prizes for the best translation of the farnous Winchester College song, "Dulce Domum" into English verse; and a third of cash prizes for a snlution of a problem in Horology, by Mr. E. H. Hawley of the Smithsonian. With the Mareh number The Forum begins its sixth year and its eleventh volume. Ths dernand for bound volumes is so large as to warrant a republication of all the back numbera to date. The Forum, therefore, hasgiven its subscribers an opportunity to secure comDlete files of bound volumes (four halfvolumes, or two volumes, to the year) without increase of price for the 'numsers that were out of print. It is possi)le, therefore, now, fora complétenle of The Forum to be secured - a particularly fortúnate circumstance for subscribers, because The Forum is probably the only high grade periodical that has been long established of which complete sets of back numbers can be procured, if at all, at less than a prohibitory price. A wide variety of interesting topics is discussed in The Popular Science Monthly for March. First, one of the great questions of the day is treated in an article on "SupposedTendenciesto Socialisin," by Wm. Graham, of Belfast. This writer gives reasons for expecting a progressive improvement in the condition of society, but no sudden social transformation. Tliere is an account of "Iron-Working with Machine Tools," by Win. F. Durfee, in the Monthly's illustrated series on American Industries since Columbus. An audacious paradox is put forth by John McElroy, who writes of "Hypocrisy as a Social Elevator." Dr. John I. Northrop tells how one of the important fiber plants is raised and what it looks like, in a fullv illustrated artiele on "Cultivation o"f Sisal in the Bahamas." There is an account of "Dr. Koch's Method of Treatïng Consumption," by Dr. G. A. Heron, a London physician. Attention is forcibly called to the subject of governmental wrong-doing, in Samuel W. Cooper's paper on the "Tyranny of the State." Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell, one of the most conspicuous figures in the scientific and public life of the United States during the first quarter of this century, is the usual sketch and portrait. New York : D. Appleton & Cornpany. Fifty cents a number, $5 a year.
