PUBLICATIONS.

Who has not heard of the Harpers I!
That name must be as familiar as Il house
hold word to millions of the American
people. Ever since old men of to-day
were boys the Harpers have been in the
publishing business, and have sent out
more reading matter for the people than
any other publishing house in America.
They continue to supply the most popu-
lar. the best and the choicest reading. .
Harper's Magazine. taken as a whole.
for old and young, is acknowledged to be
the best monthly published in this
country. Several of its articles are
always in each number beautifully
illustrated. written by some of the most
popular authors. very readable and instruc-
tive. The January number for 1871 is
acknowledged to be superior to any of its
predecessors. 1t has instruction for all
classes even the most learned, and articles
suited to all tastes. As it deserves to be
it is ~patronized and circulated the most
widely of any American monthly. Its
Historical and Scientific record alone are
worth the subscription price.
Hdrper's Weekly is truly as it profess
es to be a journal of Civilization" Its
editorials on the topics of the day are COM
~prehensiye and among the ablest written,

a perfect refreshment and delight to the
eyes. Who has not seen Harper's Week
ly? Besides the general domestic and
foreign news, it publishes in full some of
the most popular tale and first class nov
els.
? Harper's Bdzar, the same size of the
weekly, and published weekly. is jour-
nal of etiquette and fashion for the la
dies. 1t is doubtful whether there is a
lady in the land that would not like the
privilege of a regular examination and
perusal of the Bazaar. Before this was
published the fashions were a long time
in getting over the country. In the South
and West they were about a year behind
New York. Now the newest styles of
dresses. bonnets and "female fxings'' gen.
orally appear almost simultaneously in the
streets of the cities and towns in all parts
of the country. One of.the best features
of this magazine is that it teaches the Ia
DIV how to economic and make ever plain
and cheap things beastiful. 1t will often
save many times its cost and prevent large
dressmaker's and milliner's bills. 4
Some excellent and beautiful books have
just been published by the Harpers.
Among these are MY Apingi Kingdom,"
WITH life in the great Sahara Desert. by
Paul Du Chaillu. 1t is beautifully bound
and p~rofusely illustrated, and full of fine
descriptions and thrilling adventures. 1t
is a book for the boys and girls and every
lad and lassie will devour its contents as
greedily as a plum pudding.
Another book of equal interest is FIhe
Adventures Of Young Natarabist," by
Lucien Bart. The naturalist is a boy
nine years. old and goes with his father
and others over the Cordilleras and into
the great forests of Mexico. The boy is
the hero of the adventure. The book is
beautifully illustrated and givesa great
amount of instruction in regard to the an
finals and vegetables of that country. Such
books as these arc perfectly safe and even
healthful for both boys and girls to read
because while they amuse and entertain
they also impart valuable instruction.
