began to steal the notices in which the

to make money on the credit and good

Cooley iADY's Book for March is
a number agpn which it would be hard
to make any unfayorable comment.
For some time past we have been
watching vita interest and pleasure
the liberal policy which has been pur-
sued BY the present PROJECTORS of this
progressive magazine, and, from the
evidence before us, we are now prepar-
ed to say that the editors of Godeys
are bent upon placing the future record
of the magazine on higher plane than
it has ever stood before-which is say
ing a great deal when one recalls the
past pre-eminence of this venerable
publication. The March number con-
tains fine steel engraving, the usual
number of fashion plates, admirable in
design, color, and execution, another
portrait OF the Presidential series,
special patterns for fancy work, etc,
charming little chaason from the
"Princess Toto" and a rich plate en-
bodying the ideas OF well-known art
firms OF Philadelphia on interior deco
ration. Then comes Il graceful litAe
poem, by Augusta de Bubno, which is IA
lifting introduction to picturesque
sketch OF the s.Nut-Brown Maid" a Bit
of very clever writing. 'Tam. The
Story ola Woman" proceeds with grow
ing interest through two more chapters.
The style Of this serial is piquant and
spicy in the extreme, insuring it q
place among the bright, alluring novels
of the day, which find such ready read
ers.

A Comparison

The following diagrams is com
parison of the annual expenditure
in the United States for into1ica-
ting liquors with various other Oh
the largest items of expenditure. 1t
is based on the census Of 1880 and
other reliable authorities. Scale !:
Each -tourths Of an inch rep
resents an expenditure Of 100000
600. We are indebted to the
Christian Union for the measure
ments and statistics. The liquor
bill represents the cash paid for it
by consumers, and is, in our opin-
ion, not an exaggeration OF the
facts. We consider it just about
the actual amount. Comments up.
on a showing SO appalling, would
only weaken the power of truth.
