The April Wide Awake.
Wide Awake for April opens with
a burst of Easter beauty and hope;
the frontispiece, "Easter Offerings,"
embodies the spirit of youth and
bloom and gladness, while a beauti
ful story, "The Pilgrims' Easter
Lily," ought to go far to settle the
question of America's national flow
er. "What's In a Name?" gives a
brief history of the English founder
of the famous Smithsonian institu
tion at Washington, with three por
traits of Smithson, and then goes on
to give fifty or more examples of the
mistaken ways in which people ad
dress letters to the institution. "The
Difficulties of ft Darling" is an amus
ing story of the way a little sister
proved her devotion. ' "How Simon
and Sancho Panza helped the Revo
lution" is a first-rate true historical
story. "Work and Play" is another
true story of this number, showing a
delicate woman's business energy
and success. "Nervy's Wicked Sjui
mer" is the kind of story that chil
dren read eagerly. "The Fugitives
of French Cross" is a pathetic story.
"Newspaper Workers" is for girls
who intend -to become journalists.
"The English Primrose" is a pretty
open-air paper. There are chapters
from two serials in the number and
Lthe poetry is all good. Wide Awdkc
is $ 240 a year. D. Iothrop Com

Terrible News.
News was received here to day of
a terrible disaster at Louisville, Ky.,
yesterday afternoon. The reports
are meagre as the wires are -down,
