A HBear" in the Book MARKET.

People generally have supposed that The
Literary Revolution brought the prices Of
books down to the very bottom. The suppo-
sition was a mistake. Alden has recently
made a reduction all along the line-a reduc-
ton SO great as to be a startling surprise to
book buyers, and an amazement to book pub
fishers! He says continued reduction in cost
of manufacture, and a continually widening
market warrant it. He says still lower prices
are possible if purchasers can be sufficiently
multlplied-it would seem as If he were bound
to make a customer of every one who can
read! Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" for 2 cents
Guizot's France 427 fine illustrations. reduced
from $34.00 to $3.50. and so on, ad infinitum!
A novel scheme which he has recently put
forward to tempt book lovers, is a "Provident
Book Club which secures each member q
$500 library for installments OF 80 cents a
month. or a larger library for proportionate
payments. His new 64-page Alphabetical
Catalogue is a very wonder in it's literary at
tractions-it and particulars of that club are
sent free to any applicant. Address, JOHN
B.. ALDEN. Publisher, New York or Chicago.

Literary Note from The Century Co.

The sales Of The Century Magazine have
gone up to over $4,000 copies in six weeks,
since beginning the Life of Lincoln. A second
edition of December will be issued on the
18th. A veteran New York publisher predicts
that the permanent edition of the magazine
will go beyond 800, coo before the completion
of the Lincoln history. The January install.
ment, which is said by the editors to be of
most surprising interest, occupies thirty pa
ges Of the magazine, and treats of Mr.. Lin
coins settlement in Springfield; his practice
of Law in that city; the Harrison campaign;
Lincoln's marriage; his friendship with the
Speeds of Kentucky; the Shields duel; and
the campaign of 1884. The illustrations are
numerous, including portraits of Joshua
Speed and wife, of Mrs, Lucy G. Speed, Milton
Hay, President Harrison, General Shields,
William H. Herndon (the law partner Of Mr..
Lincoln), n Mr.. Lincoln himself, from the
photograph presented by him to Mrs. Lucy G..
Speed, in 1861. Pictures are given of the
house where Lincoln was married, also the
house where he lived after his marriage, etc.

THE good people of Minden thought,
last spring, that they would conduct the
affairs of that city without that num-
erous educational institution through
out the state-the saloon. Minden,
like all such places, had a class of out
laws who facetiously imagined that a
very cute thing would be to sell the
fred Ticker anyhow. Recently Judge
Gaslin took a hand in the game, and
the result is thus depicted by an ex-
change:
Last Saturday was a day of terror to a GER
tain class of people in Minden, the capital of
Kearney county. The village government
was elected by the temperance vote and re-
fused to issue license to sell liquor. Not
withstanding such was the case, a number
of men kept open "B. B." shops, while drug
gists freely and frequently violated the law.
The city authorities were unable, by reason
of some defect in the ordinances, to deal
with the gases effectively, and nothing ap-
parently could be done about it. Judge Gas
lin held court at Minden, last week. The
prosecuting attorney and the grand jury
gave the cases of liquor selling a thorough
overhauling. Nineteen persons were duly
indicted, and the causes came to trial on Sat
urdaY. The first case was that Of q saloon
keeper. He pleaded not guilty, stood trial
and was convicted on three counts. Upon
eighteen other counts there was no trial.
When the jury gave the verdict tile judge
told the prisoner that but for an agreement
by the district attorney to the imposition Of
a fine of $500 the court would put it unto
him to the tune of 81, 800, the extent of the
law. But under the circumstances he would
make the fine $500 on one count and suspend
sentence as to the other two. But" con-
tinued the court, ''if 1 ever hear of your SELL
ing another drop of liquor. l will have you
brought into court and fine you to the extent
of the law on those two counts, and don't
you forget it," The next case was that of a
druggist. He wa convicted in short order,
and the judge Opined that $500 and costs
would be about the right thing, especially as
the counts were not by any means exhausted
The other indicted people who had been ar
rested scrambled over each other to get to
the bar of the court and plead guilty. The
total collections were 81, 700, and the school
fund of Minden received a substantial boom.
1t is needless to say that the trade in liquor
in Minden is effectually squelched.

THE following petition is being circu-
lated by the W. c. T. y. women of the
state for signatu res. Everyone should
sign it. 1t should and doubtless will re-
ceive merited attention at the hands of
our law makers:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
The increasing and alarming frequency of
assaults upon women, and the frightful indig-
mites to which even little girls are subject,
have become the shame of our boated civili-
Zation.
A study of the statutes has revealed their
utter failure to meet the demands Of that
newly-awakened public sentiment which re-
quires better legal protection for woman
hood and girlhOod.
Therefore we, men and women Of
---, state of --- do
earnestly appeal to you to enact such statutes
as shall provide for the adequate punishment
of crimes against women and girls. We also
urge that the age at which a girl can legally
consent to her own ruin be raised to at least
eighteen years; and we call attention to the
disgraceful fact that protection of the person
is not placed by our laws upon SO high a
plane as protection of the purse.

hired out to butcher and delivered meat
from basket, which he carried on his
shoulder. 1t was hard work and the young
countryman didn't get fat on it. but he Kept
his eyes open and resolved to improve the
first opportunity to better his condition. AS
As butcher boy he went much into alleys and
back yards and there noticed that the ASH
piles which came from the house stoves had q
good deal of coal l. them. Hc bought q
handcart with his savings, resigned from the
butcher shop and went around and made ar
rangcments with houscholdrrs to draw their
ashes away. His charges were surprisingly
low and by hard work he managed to earn
dollar and half a day il this way.
"But this was only half of his earnings.
He rugged up a sieve, through which lie
screened all the ashes he hauled, and the coal
thus secured was worth about $l.50 more.
He then went into the business Oh larger
scale, hiring laborcrs and furnishing them
carts and rigging up large screen, whcro
load after load could be dumped. Hc has
boys to pick out the cindcrs and clinkcrs and
wagons to haul the coal away and sell it, lie
now hauls unSiftcd asiics away for nothing,
but charges for removing siftcd ashes. y
good many people who used to sift their ashes
don't do it now, saving themselves the trouble
and getting the refuse hauled away for
nothing. That butcher boy is making about
