The New England Magazine for May offers a large and varied table of contents, ranging from a long and well illustrated article on "Art in Chicago," to a short story of New England life by Mary F. Haynes, entitled the "Squire's Niece Maria."

The article that will probably be of most interest to Harvard men is a scholarly paper by Mr. Moorfield Storey on "The Government of Cities." and another which is not in quite as readable a style, on "Work and Wages" by Mr. C. E. Markham.

Those interested in history, however, will probably leave these two articles to students of Political Economy, and read instead the article by Mr. Porter entitled "The Ship" Columbia and the Discovery of the Oregon," which contains much valuable information, never before offered to the public.

Every one, however, will be delighted by the story of "A Poor Millionaire," by Mary L. Adams, as charming a character sketch as one often sees.

Of the other articles "General Armstrong and the Hampton Institute," "Three Letters to Dorothy Q.," and "The Christian Endeavor Movement." are worth reading, but probably will not interest many undergraduate minds.
