to notice also that the Veteran has
been considerably improved typograph-
ically, and is printed on paper of heavi-
er quality and liner finish, being now
in full accord with the style and gen-
eral make-up of magazine prints, The
new serial by Mrs. Darling, "The Sen-
ator's Daughter," an authoress well
known in tho novel reading world
opens satisfactorily with its leading
characters, 'and will of itself cause this
deserving monthly to be eagerly look-
ed for as the captivating story prog-
resses, which we understand will run
through several numbers. Chapter II
of "The Sin and the Sinners," by C.
0. Gumming, of Texas, is the more
caustic as it grows, and is being made
p irtieularly interesting for Mr. James
Freeman Clarke, in whose "Anti-Sla-
very Days" the author finds the origin
for his peculiar title. "The Adventures
of Captain John Smith" is something
entirely new regarding that favorite
old acquaintance, and will be read by
the aged and the juvenile with an ea-
gerness to which it is fully entitled.
The remainder of the contents are ar-
ranged and edited with marked care,
and the April numbc will undoubted-
ly go far toward bounding the Veteran
into still greater notoriety. Published

To obtain a light instantly without
the use of matches, and without the
danger of setting things on fire, is an
easy matter. Take an oblong vial
of the clearest of glass, put into it a
piece of phosphorus about the size of
a poa ; upon this pour some pure olive
oil heated to the boiling point, the bot-
tle to be filled about on« third full:
then cork tightly. To use the light,
remove the cork, allow the air to. en-
ter, and then rccork. The whole
empty space in tho bottle will then
become lumjnous, and the light obtain-
ed will be a good one. As soon as the
light becomes dim, its power can bo
increased by opening the bottle allow-
ing a fresh supply of air to enter.
In very cold weather it is sometimes
necessary to heat the vial between the
hands to Increase the fluidity of the
oil, and one bottle will last all winter.
