period, from January l, 1880, to
June 80, 1881, allowed to the book
sellers and book agents commissions
averaging about rs per cent Of our
total receipts. In other words, in ad-
dition to the $709, 52I32 we have
received from the public for our books,
the public has also paid to the mid
dlemen the large sum ofS177, 380,33
simply for handling these books, MAX
ing the total cost of the books 10 the
consumer 1886, 901.65.
8th.--From these statements YOU
can readily see that if
From the total amount
which the public has
paid for our books 1886, 901.65
We deduct the amount
We have paid for ad-
vertising these books $140,878.92
And the amount paid
to middlemen Tor
handling the books $177, 380.33
We have total deduc-
ton of $31S, 259 .26
And remainder of s56S, 642 80
Thus it is evident that if the nublic
had bought these books directly from
US, the unnecessary expenses Of ad-
vertising and Of paying middlemen
for handling them, being avoided, the
books would have cost them only
$56S,642 80, being almost SO per
cent. less than the 1916, 901.65 which
they have paid for them, and our net
proceeds would have been none the
less.
A BETTER ILLUSTRATION.
The above figures show clearly the
possibility of great reduction from
prices as heretofore published with
out diminishing our net income, but
they do not necessarily show that it
is possible for us to manufacture and
sell books at such low prices without
loss to US. As we have never made
pretence Of publishing books from
charitable or philanthropic motives,
and do not wish our friends To think
that We are doing business at a loss,
we will give conclusive and inter-
esting illustration Of how we can af-
ford these low prices.

A Terrible Adventure.

Niagara Falls Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
The residents of Chippewa, a small
town two miles from here, up the
Niagara river, were startled at dusk
last evening by hearing loud cries for
help from the river, which was COW
cred with an impenetrable fog. II
was soon discovered that John Leh-
man, his son and John Greenwood, all
residents of that village, who had
rowed over to the American side in
the morning, had attempted to return
at dusk, starting from Port Day, about
a mile above the falls, but had been
oyertaken by a sudden land fog falling
upon them as they were nearing the
Canadian shore. Losing their course,
they We're swiftly nearing the rapids
and being carried to destruction
through the rushing waters.
The town bell was rung and some
parties fred guns; no other effort
under the circumstances could be
made TO save the unfortunate men
and those who had gathered on the
shore from hearing their cries stood
stricken with terror, knowing the
fearful death awaiting the occupants
of the boat.
Greenwood, seeing his dangerous
position, let go his anchor, which,
fortunately, took hold of the rocks
and he was saved. He kept shouting
for help at intervals all night, and
this morning was found riding safely
at anchor, The Lehmans, having no
anchor in their boat, drifted down
with the rapids, s~hrieking frantically
for help. Almost by a miracle the
current swept them against a pro
jecting point near Burning Springs,
and they we're saved. They returned
as quickly as possible to Chippewa,
secured aid and waited until day,
break, when, with great difficulty and
daring, they succeeded in rescuina
their eomrade.
