Novel in name, fol m, purpose and method

It undertakes to give the worthiest fiction
that American authors can be tempted to
produce. Foreign authors not admitted.
1t is not sentimental talk about justice to
American authors, but is bold, practicIe ac-
tion.
1t is certainly handy in form, beautiful in
dress, excellent in all mechanical qualities,
and low in price; we'll suited in all respects
to meet the wants of the intelligent millions
who are capable OF appr sesating ''the best"

'sgutter-fiction" of the sensational periodi-
calls and libraries.
Telms, $t,00 year, at which rate it will
give over $500 pages, equal to from eight to
twelve ordinary American dolIornovels.
The stories will follow successfully, one
at time, novel of ordinary length thus
being completed in from four to eight weeks.

Wide Awake 1888.

The readers of this wonderful magazine
for yonng people are sol accustomed to good
reading and pictures that they will wonder
how it is going to be better than ever this
year. But it is.
The new year has already begun with the
holiday number just out-a truly great mum :

therefore it must be better than ever befor,
And the publishers have. a primer to send t.,
those who want to know what Wide ADake

The wonder that such a library and picture
gallery can be got together for s2.40 yeal

new stories, history, travels, biography,
sketches, anecdote, adventure-and all i'll
structive as we'll as entertaining. Two
worlds are drawn from to make such provis-

intelligence of Rats.

Rats are usually considered noxious ami
mails and little mercy is shown to them.
Doubtless they were created for useful pur-
pose--perhaps to act as scavengers and help
to remove offensive objects. When they de-
stroy young ducks and chickens, or pillage
grain in the stables, it is right to keep them
down.
At a country house, where they had become
very troublesome, a barrel was sunk in the
ground behind the stable yard and half filled
with water. A fiat stick was balanced as o
swivel over 1t, and bait put on the end
over the water. Next morning the bait was
gone, but no drowned rat was in the water.
The goodman pointed out, from the marks
left on the wood, that large rat had sat on
the shore end Of the stick while smaller rat
had in safety removed the bait from the other

The Eclectic.

The May issue of the Eclectic Magazin
lies before us. We need hardly say it appealt
strongly to the tastes of thinking and culti-
vated readers. This number even surpasses
in the variety and interest Of its contents
the general average Of the magazine. Prof.
Huxley's opening paper on "The Struggle
for Existance" is a brilliant application of
the evolutionary theory, but with all the
literary art of this great scientific authority.
''Isam and Christianity in India" by one
or the greatest minds Of the time, reviews
with extra ordinary keenness the conditions
which have made Mohammed such potent
rival to Oriental missionary work. II. d.
Trail contributes most suggestive article
in "The Evolution of Humor," which can
be read more than once with benefit. G
Monod writes about Contemporary Life
and Thought in France with much fresh
ness and knowledge of in facts. An Article,
which will be read with no little interest, is
entitled "The Ascent of Mind" by Herbert
Junius Hardwicks, NJ. D. A clever writer
discusses "The Higher Education of
Woman" with keen appreciation of both
the pros aud cons of the problem. Frances
Power Cobbe discusses 'The Education Of
the Emotions" with the ability which always
marks bis work. An interesting paper on
subject of great international interest, by
G. R. Lowell, is entitled "Epglish and
American Federalism" In the "Remin:-
SCIENCES Of Cardinal Richolieu," we have a
very readable contribution to French his
tory. The concluding paper on Caesar Bor-
gia is published, and other contributions of
interest are Robesperre's Love-" "Cheyali-
er Bayard," +" "a Night in the Jungle" and
tHumors of Metaphysics"

Money to be Made,

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the geeat publishing house
of George Stinson s. Co., of Portland Maine.
The reason of this unexceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines. They need
many more agents in all parts of the country
Those who need profitable work should ap-
ply at once. Women will do as well as men.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson s. Co undertake to show all who are
willing to work, not hard but earnestly, the
path to large success. H. should be remem.
beIed that an agent can do handsome bust
ness Withhold being away from home over
night. Another advantage-it costs nothing
to give the business trial, and an agent

moments to it. Stinsou & Co. guarantee

AsCoIoradO Colony.
General Passenger Agent,
Denver Colorado.

1t is proposed to organize colony of So
ber and industrious young men and men
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing a contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarne, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigation, thus iusuring successful sol! cul-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
mess and residence purposes, these last in
creasing in size as they recede from the bus
mess center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made
special feature of the town and suitable
reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis of contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prehibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way of crops, save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses Of organization, location of lands
ETC., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony cffcers. As soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken TO complete the organization.
It may not be out Of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed ia
join this enterprise, wGs connected with the
settlement Of the now prosperous towns OF
Greeley, Fort Collins ad Colorado Springs,
and has had an exp, rience of seventeen
years in the building CT towns, irrigating
anals aud the Development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
It is desirable that settlement in tie new
town be made as early as possible. Writ,
us at once of your intention concerning thii
promising enterprise.

Tho Sun as a Fire Extinruisher.

Tho dear little School Ma'am in st.
Nicholas tells the children that as soon as
the wintry cold begins to wane and the sum
Light grows warmer, house fires are apt to
get low and dull and for this reason persons
say 'the sun has put the fire out" Naturally
the children ask her TO explain this queer con-
duct on the part of the sun, and then she
tells them something like this:
During the sunniest part of the day we are
apt to neglect our fires and to cease supplying
fresh fuel Meantime the suns rays warm
the air and rarity 1t until it Is as warm and
thin as the air in the chimney that has been
heated by the fire. Then the draught ceases
and the fire gets lower and lower.
But the little School Maam opens door or
a window and the fresh, cool afr sends the
warm air in the room up the chimney in a
hurry and the fire brightens. And the little
lady reminds them Of another fact: If the
sunshine falls directly upon the fire 1t Is
at least rival light, and not so well cal
culated to show the glow Of the Goals as
