We quote the following from the LITERARY NOTES
OF the New York Tribune
"The absorption by ST. NICHOLSON OF Tax LIrTLE
CORPORAL, OF Chicago, and TBH scHooLDAy MAGA-
ZINE, OF Philadelphia the oldest monthly OF Its class
in the country, calls TO mind the previous achieve
ments of this voracious Saint.
"THE RIvRksIDR MAGAz' NR WAS consolidated with
II at the start; then followed OUR YouSG FOLKS
with Its wide popularity and subscription list, and
THK CHIl.DRRS's HOUR OF Il. y. Arthur came next
ST. NICHOLAS thus represents six magazines and the
enterprise OF Its publishers and the good taste OF Its
editors have made 1t such an excellent magazlne
that many OF It's readers declare 1t as good as all the
six together. II has certainly obtained list OF con
Tlbutors such as no other childs magazine. or few
publications OF any sort, In the world can boast. II
has caused the best writer's in America to turn their
attention to the task OF giving delight and mparng
culture to children. This absorption OF rivals ght
make ST. NICHOLAS dangerous monopoly, but that
its propretors may be thoroughlyrusted TO give the
most in erestng articles that can be obtained for
money. The process of consolidation is a neces.
sary result Of the growth OF this Kind OF literature
which compels, with its increased expenditures,
the massing Of the many weak periodicals occupy
ing the same Held into a few strong ones. In the
avalanch Of immoral literature that thre atens the
children some strong, vitality wholesome, an
really attractive magazine is required for them,
and sT. NICHOLAS has reached a higher platform,
and commands for this service wider resources in
art an letters than any of Its predecessors or co.
