were larger than h.r the corresponding six
months of 1882. At no previous time in
the history of the country has the steady
increase in the settlement of Western lands
been maintained during a.period of wide
depression. In 1887, in 1857 and in 1873
there was a sudden check in Western set

Godey's Lady's Booh; for January is
the Prize Story number; containing
"Mademoiselle's Masquerade, a pretty
romance from the pen of Mary E.
Bradley, who won the Two Hundred
Dollar Prize in the December competi-
ton. The current issue Of the Maga-
zine Is a remarkably attractive one.
1t ccntalns some very useful designs
for Christmas tree ornaments, together
with instructive articles concerning
their manufacture, and giving some
new ideas about holiday decorations.
Thoss who wish to heautify their homes
during the holiday SEASON, and every
committee that has Christmas work on

suggestions. The publishers have also
presented every subscriber and buyer
of the January number with a beauti-
full imported Chrlsi mas card, and they

attached linen twine to his bayonet.
At the other end was a small, strong

nook among flock of geese, and
caught big gander. As he started
