We think we can show how much cheaper
II is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars
We will take a late number of both. tn,
Two Dollar Magazine contained SO articles
the Lady's Book 62.
q The Two Dollar Magazine contained 30 en-
[ cravings, the Ladv's Book 81.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained Ga pa
{ ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty 81
( more articles, and thirty-siN more pages
nearly double the quantity. The lowest clu
price of the Two Dollar Magazine is 81 ,25
d lowest club price of Lady's Book 1851, onl
/ AZ cents difference in the price, which is tire
and a half cents on each number, and for tina
sum (three and a half cents), you receiy
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four moi
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
IT ly-certainly a very cheap three and a ha
cents worth. This view of the case ha
probably never before been presented, but II
e, a true statement, which any lady can col
vince herself of by comparing the two mag'
zines.

hat the act of the last Legislature Of the
Territory, designating the County Commits
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town

be regarded as 'Judges of the County Court"
As soon as that doubt Is removed, notice viii
be given. In the mean time no entering Of

son on the 25th of August next 10 consider the pro
prietyo of forming new Territorial government with
q view 20 the erection Of state embracing the mp
per peninsula Of Michigan, the northern part Of
Wisconsin and the Lake counties of Minnesota. The
call IL signed by twenty five persons residing in On
tonagon, and Marquette, Chippewa, Mackinac coun-
Wisconsin: and Lake county, Minnesota The Id
pocofe says Perhaps the strongest argument that
can be adduced in favor Of the proposed arRnge-
ment IL the fact that, at every election friends
in Wisconsin and Minnesota are actually disfran-
chised from the impossbility of getting their re-
turns transmitted In time to their present State cspi-
tall and that the disaster has more than once
occurred 10 ourselves at the Presidential election.

A scheme is on foot to introduce
bees from Brazil into this country.
We presume the variety is enchu, which
is of the wasp family, about the size
of the house.Ay, with the head
black and the body yellow. 1t builds
a hive for itself, about three feet in
circumference, on the branches Of trees,
making it Of papery material,
Most people would prefer, however,
the introduction Of bees belonging to
the genus Mehp0mena, some species Of
which construct their hives in the hol-
low trunks Of trees, and others build
beneath the ground, They are indigo
nous to South America, Their princi-
pal popularity is the absence Of tho
sting, and thoy are generally smaller
than the Apis MeHfca, or European
hiye-bee, The honey Of four species
Is sour; Of two, bitter; the other species
supply an excellent article The ab,

The following yarn is told of a Ger.
tain DR.. Thompson, Of Atlanta, said to
be a generous good man, aud a tip-top
landlord and wit:
A traveller called very late for break
fast, the meal was hurriodly prepared.
Thompson, feeling that the "feed" was
not quite up TO the mark, made all sorts
Of the most humble apologies al
around the eater, who worked on in si-
lence, never raising his head above the
afinitive influence of his forE, or by
any act acknowledging the presence of
mine host. This sulky demeanOr rather
"Aea'd" the Doctor, who changing the
range Of his battery, stuck his thumbs
in his vest arm-holes, expanded his chest
by robbing the room Of half It's air, and
said:
"Now, Mister, dod durn me eff I haint
made all the apology necessary, and
more too, considering the breakfast and
who gets it, and now tell you that l have
seen dirtier worse cooked, worse tasted,
worse looking, and a h. Of a sight
smaller breakfast than THIS is several
times
The weary, hungry one meekly laid
down his tools, swallowed the bite IN tran
stu, placed the palms of his hands to-
gether, and modestly looking up at the
vexed and fuming landlord, shot him
dead with the words following, viz:
"Is what you say true2'

This large and important, but un-
known island, is likely TO- become a
prominent theme Of discussion between
the English aud French Governments.
The island was discovered in 1906 by
the Portuguese, bnt no energetic nt.
tempt at eolonizatiOn was made until
the middle Of the seventeenth century,
when the French established one or
two settlements there In 1745 they
extended their plans Of colonial
tion, and asserted q considerable inhu-
once over the natives, until 1914, when
the English began TO claim the right to
exercise authority, on the somewhat in.
comprehensive ground that Madagas-
car, with its four millions of inhabitants,
was a dependency of the little island Of
Mauritius, which had just been ceded
by France TO England. A number of
English settlements we're established,
with the friendly cooperation Of the
natives. King Radama, q very remark
able and intelligent ruler, who, though
not sole monarch of the island, almost
entirely controlled it, made an arrange.
ment with the English by which num-
Der Of his subjects were sent to England
and Mouritius and educated, for the
purpose Of introducing the arts Of edu-
cation among his people The effect Of
this was to attract numbers Of mission
aries to the island, and in 1926, two
years before his death. Radama had the
satisfaction of seeing some five thousand
Madagosse children taught in the mis-
sionary schools. The French have ev-
cr since 1914 proclaimed the indepen-
dence Of Madagascar, and have endeav-
ored constantly to augment their
strength in that vicinity, to prevent, if
possible, the prevalence of British pow
er. AT present, projected expeditions
thither, with a view on the part Of
each to secure the commercial inter
ests Of the island, which is believed to
be extremely fertile, and capable Of pro.
ducing a great variety of grain, and is
also known to possess considerable min.
eral wealth.
The French have Just made the small
island Of st. Marie, on the eastern coast
of Madagascar, one of their naval sta.
tions. Their other possessions in the
neighbOrhood are the islands Of Reunion
one hundred and ffty leagues from Mad.
agascar, of NOssi-Be, Mayotte, Nossi.
Cumba, NOssi-Fales, and Surrounding
islets in the Mozambique Channel.-
These islands are all remarkable for Their
fertility, anchorage, and excellent posi-.
tion for the development of the French
colonial power in those ATTITUDES 49,
