THE APRIL AMERICAN BOY. The smiling, satisfied face which looks out from the front cover of the April American Boy is an index to the interesting, instructive, and pleasing matter this number contains. Jimmy Jones, Pirate; Four Boys on the Mississippi; and That Dillingham Boy, continue to delight their readers. Mr. j Weir’s fine serial, Sanal and Jungle, is ' regretfully concluded. Among the i shorter stories are: The Poetry of Steeples, which tells of how one man's heart was in his art; How Karl Got Even, is a humorous April Ist story, showing that the biters do get bitten sometimes, and Fooling Father, the moral of which is tfat fathers are not as often fooled as their sons think. Interesting articles are: A Poor Boy’s Country; The Origin of Easter; The Devil's Bible; A Few Hints on Golf; The Boy on His Muscle: A Wonderful Educational Scheme; April in the Garden, and The Boys’ Poultry Yard. The boys who desire to have clean, healthy bodies will find Talks with the Doctor; Some Secrets of Cleverness, and Destroyers of Boys unusually interesting. Forty Stunts in Magic for Amateurs and Trapping Hints for Boys contain many things f orboys who enjoy mystifying their friends and those who delight in capturing animals. Every one of the regular departments will well repay the reading of them. 82 illustrations. $1 a year. The Sprague Publishing Co., Detroit, Mich.
