Hicks FOR APRIL.—In his predictions for the remainder of this month Rev. Irl Hicks says shat the 7¢h and 8th are central dates on and t$ouching with reactionary changes to storm conditions. These changes to warmer, falling harometer, with onth:eaks of rain and storminess, will be- gin in western and make their transit to eastern sections, being followed by rapid rise of the barometer, and much cooler. Eleotrical Venus storms until past the middle of April should be warnings of sudden change to cooler with frost. A regular Valcan storm period extends from the 11th to the 15th. The changes that go before the formation and approach, the cloudiness and the storms will appear to the westward as we enter this period and later, say from the 13th to the 15th, rain with thunder and storminess will touch numerons localities in their progress over the country. The mercury disturb- ances blended with those of Venas at this time, will almost sarely prolong and in- tensify storm conditions so thas little or no intermission of settled ‘weather will follow this period before the beginning of another. The next storm period includes the 17th to 20th inclusive. The Easter fall moon on the equator and in perigee are embraced in the 17h to the 19th. Very threatening electrical storms, violent and possibly tornadio in places in the west and central are possible, and, probable at this time. These storms will break up into snow squalls over much of the country north- ward, and they will be followed hy several days of bleak and frosty weather. Late sleet storms will visit many seotions on and touching the 17th and 19th. The next regular storm period is ocen- tral on the 24th, covering the 23rd to 27th. The barometer will fall generally during the progress of this period, and April showers will thicken into wider and heavier thuuder storms. As all the periods in April, up to this period, many parts of the country will get more rain than for many months past. Lowlands in all cen- tral and western States will have too much.

THe DELINEATOR FOR MAY—Among the women’s magazines pone will be read with greater pleauser than the May Delineator,which appears with a vari- ed and attractive table of contents. The news of the fashion world is reported in a number of special articles, and the choicest of the season's dress productions are illustrated. Chief among the literary features is Albert Bigelow Paine’s serial story, “The Lucky-Piece,” which grows upon the reader with the second instalment and promises most ‘interesting developments in the succeeding chapters. Sewell Ford and Seumas MacManus also contribute fiction, the latter an inimitable story of Irish life. N. Hudson Moore writes concerning old chairs in “The Collector's Manual.” *‘A Duet in Brittany’ is an enjoyable travel sketch ty W. W, Newton, D. D., and Dr. W. R. C. Latson contributes an article on **House- work as a Recreation,” illustrating the proper methods of performing household duties so that they become profitable and pleasurable instead of disagreeable tasks, as they are usualy regarded. Dr. Murray discusses **The Child’s Bath” in a paper that will be helpful to young mothers, and Allan Sutherland tells something of the origin and romance of Keble's famcus hymn, “Sun of My Soul.” For the young people, there are amusements of various kinds and stories by such entertaining writers as L. Frauk Baum, Grace MacGowan Cooke, ene Harrington Wright and others, and a large amount of space is devoted to domestic topics, among which attention may be called particularly to the article in the series, “The Making of a Housewife.” ‘NEw Book" oN CALIFORNIA.— Colorado and Cali- Jornia is a pleasantly written narrative anent the country between Chicago and San Francisco traversed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, and its western connections. The story cleverly carries the traveler from plac to place along the route, pointing out the prominent and attractive features en passant, snd while it goes fully into particulars it does not become tiresome or dull, and the iilustrations which adorn the tale are all ample, graphie, and well executed. Tne make-up is admirable, showing discrimi- nating taste, and that deftness which zomes from long experience ; the textis in leaded 10 point on coated book, with the marginal sub-heads in Bismarck brown, and the covers show mountain and canon rcenery in colortype on delicate azure- tinted plate, with the title embossed in bronze. ————————————.
