The Largest. Best and Cheapest
Weekly in the World.

With the advent of new pertecting print
ing m chinery into our business, we are en-
couraged to believe we can successfully carry
out long cherished desire to furnish the
Weekly Blade direct to subscribers, postpaid.
Tor the very low price OF One Dollar per
Year. While a dollar Weekly" is no
new thing, it has never before been attempt
ed by any publisher in this country to tur-
nish so large and SO good paper as the
Blade for one dollar per year. Consequently
the announcement we now make will he
startling to the newspaper fraternity. We
therefore boldly and fearlessly declare that
from and after this date the price of The
Weekly Blade shall be, to any and all, rich
and poor, postpaid by mail, delivered at
your verv door, as it were, ONE DOLLAR
per year. We do not calculate to reduce in
any way, either in size, quantity or quality
but on the contrary shall continue to make
improvements at every opportunity, as has
been our rule. The Blade is household
necessity in every nook and corner Of this
land, and nowhere can SO much good reading
be found for the money. Any one OF the
departments are worth the price of years
subscription. The series, "Nasby in Exile"
will run whole year, and Nasty never fails
to give value received. Just how much We
give for one dollar In the first place we
publish all the news Then there are Sc
rails, Poetry. Stories, Miscellany Young
Folks Department. Correspondence from all
the world, the best editorials in the English
language, Science. Religion, Politics, very
reliable Markets, and, finally, the best House
hold Department for the ladies ever pub
lished, all Of which, if published in book
form, would during the year make library
worth one hundred dollars. At one dollar
year we should double our circulation, and
shall be much disappointed if we do not.
We cannot allow cash commission at that
price, but will allow one FREE copy for
every club of ten, and, by the way, club of
10 is easily raised for the Blade We want
every friend to raise us at least one club of
ten, and thereby secure your own copy free
of cost. We do not receive fractions of
year at this rate, but short-time subscribers
should remit at the rate of ten cents month.
We cheerfully send specimen copies to any
address. Send us the address of dozen or
more of your friends to whom we can send
specimen copies. 1t makes no difference
how many papers you take, you should have
the Blade anyhow at this price. 1t is dol.
lar wisely invested. A On March 81 we
shall present nice library of 100 books to
the town having on that date the largest list
Of subscribers to the Blade. A few Blade
subscribers in any town could take this libra
ry matter in hand, and in one day raise one
or two hundred subscribers. Rem. your
dollar by money order or registered letter.

The Tea Gown.

A London medical journal says: ''The
custom now is among ladies of 'ton,' to
wear a tea gown, which, it may be ex-
planned for the initiated, is nothing
more than an elegant form of dressing
gown. the whole afternoon, and even
when enfamille, to dine in it. AS its
use usually enables the wearer to dis
pense with the corset, the hygienic val
ne of the tea gown is apparent. 1t has
been stated that some ladies wear cor
sets even beneath the tea gown, but
they are in small minority. If the tea
gown be the pioneer of other garments
whl"h may expunge corsets from the
list of ladies' clothing, it should indeed
