Worthington Company, Joseph J. Little, receiver, 747 Broadway, New York, announce for immediate publication, "Antoinette; or the Marlpit Mystery," by George Ohnet, author of The Ironmaster." This admirably written story, which will be found to add greatly to the already high fame of Ohnet, portrays a wonderful picture of filial love. The inventor's daughter, a charming creation of the author's mind, sacrifices herself, her love, her fortune, everything, to her father's ambitions and unprofitable experiments and inventions. She inspires the reader with such generous and lofty ideas of life and action that this book must be ranked among the most powerful of the day. The plot of the story rests upon a family feud and is excellent. The story is at times deeply mysterious, and gives, with a keen incisive touch, the characteristics of modern society in France.

Worthington Company, Joseph J. Little, receiver, 747 Broadway, New York, announce for immediate publication as No. 21 in their Rose Library: "The Rag-Picker of Paris," by Felix Pyat; translated by Benjamin R. Tucker. This novel, made out of the successful (1,000 nights) drama of the same name, contrasts the lives of the rich and poor of Paris. It also shows, in vivid colors, the influence of the priests, the injustice of civil functionaries, the abuse of the power of the press; in fact, the struggle for existence everywhere. The poor rag-picker, who saved a rich man from suicide, learned a lesson he never forgot of

AN EPOCH IN JOURNALISM.- The New York Sunday Press is regularly publishing an art cover in seven colors. On Sunday, March 12, The Sunday Press (New York), started a feature that will mark an epoch in American journalism. It consists of an art cover, in which the paper, when folded to the quarter size, is encased, and it has created an unprecedented demand for The Sunday Press among all classes of people. The front page of the art cover next Sunday, will show a beautiful reproduction of the German masterpiece, "St. Cecilia," and for the four Sundays in April it will present an original water color design, with an art calendar, an original painting in the original colors by an eminent American artist, and two reproductions of famous paintings, admitted masterpieces. The inside pages of the art cover will always contain exquisite half-tone portraits and illustrations of people and topics of the then current week. Every copy of the art cover of any issue of The Sunday Press would command in any art store at least $1.00.

THE APRIL CENTURY.-The high lights of the April Century are Anarchists and Arbor Day. The number opens with a notable article on "The Chicago Anarchists of 1886," being a review of their crime, trial, and punishment, written by Joseph E. Gary, the judge who presided at the trial. This article, which would be of importance at any time in view of the doubt expressed in certain quarters as to the justice of the men hanged in Chicago, is of particular timeliness in view of the approach of the 1st of May with its recurring social disorders throughout the world, and especially in view of the opening of the World's Fair, and the general interest felt among the people as to the preservation of order during the year. The reader will rise from the perusal of this article with no small degree of confidence in the nerve and ability of the Chicago authorities. Judge Gary takes as his motto these words from his charge to the jury: "And the law is common The paper will stand for all time as an authoritative record of

sense."

this celebrated case. It is illustrated with portraits of the judge, the prosecuting attorney, the jury, Inspectors of Police Bonfield and Schaack and Captain William Ward, and also by striking full-page views of incidents carefully drawn by Castaigne from descriptions of eye-witnesses. There are also reproductions of the anarchist handbills and sketches of explosives found in the possession of the prisoners. The subject of the anarchists is treated in an editorial article under the title, "Words are Deeds, and May be Crimes.

"Nursing, Its Principles and Practice;" for hospital and private use, by Isabel Adams Hampton, graduate of the New York Training School for Nurses attached to Bellevue Hospital; Superintendent of Nurses and Principal of the Training School for Nurses, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md.; late Superintendent of Nurses, Illinois Training School for Nurses, Chicago, Illinois. This book will outline a definite, systematic course of teaching for pupil-nurses with a thoroughness that nothing previously published on the subject has attempted; and the need for such a work is greatly felt by young superintendents when taking upon themselves the responsibility of trainingschool work. Thoroughly tested and most approved processes are given in all the details of practical nursing, particularly in antiseptic surgery, and the minutest details regarding the nurse's technique have been explained. The methods used in Johns Hopkins Hospital have in all cases been noted as the authority.

LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE FOR APRIL 1893.-The April issue of Lippincott's is mainly devoted to Columbus and the Exposition. The complete novel, "Columbus in Love," is by George Alfred Townsend ("Gath"), and nar

rates fully and feelingly the great discoverer's relations with Beatrix Enriquez. The leading persons of that day in Spain, and some of the chief scenes, are introduced,- Isabella, Ferdinand, the the court, the bishops, the fall of Granada, the Inquisition; as well as those most closely associated with the Genoese, -the faithful Nunez, the good prior of Rabida, Pinzon, the sailors, and many more. The canvas is crowded, and those who will may here make enlarged acquaintance not only with the surface of Spain at that eventful era, but with the spirit of the time, and the heart of its greatest man. The novel is fully illustrated. William Igleheart tells, "What the Publicity Department did for the Columbian Exposition." A portrait of Major Moses P. Handy accompanies this article. Julian Hawthorne attempts "A description of the Inexpressible," the buildings of the Fair; and Frederick M. Bird characterizes "The Religion of 1492" and that of Columbus. The nonColumbian papers include one by Edgar Saltus on, "Sappho"; an instalment of M. Crofton's "Men of the Day," covering J. A. Froude, Gounod, Dr. Farrar, General Howard, and Congressman Holman; and an illustrated tale by Annie Flint, "Abraham's Mother," which is the second in the series of Lippincott's Notable Stories. The poetry of the number is by Florence Earle Coates, Owen Wister, and Robert Loveman.

The Tribune Almanac for 1893 has been promptly issued, and now lies before us on our table. There never before were so many valuable tables, nor so much exceedingly useful in formation, packed into a Tribune Almanac as into the one for 1893, which has just been received. There are 350 pages, including a page map of the World's Fair grounds, and

hundreds of features of the most timely interest. The officers and committees and other data of the World's Fair are given in full, this feature occupying eleven pages. The elaborate tables, showing the amount of gold, silver, and paper money in circulation, year by year, since 1861, will be needed for constant reference as long as free coinage and unlimited paper money are public issues. Of course, the presidential election, the vote in the different States, the platforms of the parties, the new Congress, etc., require much space in the book, and they receive it; there is no partisanship in the Tribune Almanac; it is purely a statistical work, and the figures, bad as they are for Republicans, are given just as they are. The gold and silver coinage, year by year, for the whole period since 1793, is a strong feature. All the statistics of foreign trade, debt, banking, pensions, public lands, revenues and appropriations, etc., are included, and there are numerous general matters, such as divorce, marriage and naturalization laws, the record of racing and athletic sports, legal holidays, legal interest, copyright, etc., etc. Altogether an exceedingly fine number, and all for 25 cents.
