A NEW LEASE OF “LIFE.”
The publisher of that most enterprising Australian magazine, “Life,” has made the one change that was necessary to make it acceptable in every home. He has enlarged the type, and the March number comes to us very readable in both senses of the word. “Life” is essentially a useful magazine, and its editor manages to keep its usefulness and its entertainment well balanced. In the March issue, for example, appears the first of a new series of stories for business people, a rattling good story, and a splendid lesson in business practice. It is submitted as the forerunner of a set business stories that will rival in interest the famous “Self-Made Merchant” series. Side by side with it begins another group of scientific detective stories, also exciting and instructive. Then, Mr Carlyle Smythe contributes another of his racy articles containing reminiscences of Mark Twain, with whom he toured the world. A. W. Casserley describes a visit to a snake-farm in New South Wales; Dr Fitchett, the editor, deals in his customary picturesque manner with the history of the world, and W. A. Somerset contributes a sprightly review of the adventures of the world’s champion elephant hunter. And these are but the special features of a magazine which covers in its regular departments the varying interests that go to make up life in the present day. In a word, “Life” thoroughly merits its name, and maintains in this issue its high reputation.
