The marvellous beauty of the illus
trated magazines of this country is
attracting attention throughout the
world. But the price at which our
magazines are sold is even greater
marvel. For example, single num-
Der of ScribRer, 1.-THE MidWinter
Number" just issued, has full-page
frontispiece Portrait of Emerson, and
contains one hundred and sixty pages
of letter-press, with more than seventy
illustrations; many of which are works
of art such as before the advent of
Scribner appeared only in gift-works
and purely art magazines, and yet 1T
is sold for IS cents. 1t would be diff
ficult to find an Illustrated book to
match it at SIS. In Children's Period
icals, too, America leads the world
with ST. NICHOLAS. Prof. Proctor,
the astronomer, writes from London:
"What a wonderful imagining it is
for the young folks Our children
are quite as much deligted with it as
American children can be. l will not
say they are more delighted, as that
may not be possible" ST. NICHOLAS
is sold for 25 cents number, and
fourteen numbers November. 1878 to
1880 are given for SO. There is
scarcely any end to the demand for
such magazines as Scribner's for grown
ups and st. Nicholas for children.

There are so many different organs
presented to the public nowadays
that purchasers often find it difficult
to decide what make and style will
suit them best A few suggestions
NAV not come amiss to those intending
to purchase. The case must be well
made; the bellows must be of suffi-
cient capacity to sustain a strong and
steady tone; the reeds must produce
round. full, pipe-like tones, absolutely
harmonious and musical-anything APP
proaching reedy twang Is unendu-
rable-and possess sufficient power to
meet all requirements. These and all
other essential qualities are found in
the Estey Organ. NJ. A. Paulson is
agent for them in this vicinity and in

sare to get a good one.
