Folks. ENLARGED and Printed I'm
New type.

Since 1873, when. under the editorial
management of Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge,
the publication of 81. Nicholas for Touao

Inter Ocean recently said, .sIt IS the model
and ideal juvenile magazine of the world"
Through its pages the greatest writers Of
our time are speaking to the youth Of
America and England, and the best artists
and engrsvers are training the eyes Of the
boys and girls to appreciate the highest in
art. Nobody knows how many readers

manned as editor. Early in its history 9th
er young peoples magazines, "onr Young
Folks, 'The Little Corporal, . .'River-
side, etc, were consolidated with it, and
its history has been one Of growth from the
first. Tenuyson, Bryant, Longfellow,
Whittier, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Burnett,
Charles Dudley Warner, w. D. Howells,
and almost every w~ell-known writer Of oar
time have contributed to its pages. There

can make it better, and that is by making
more of it, and so they announe that with

Then he was hustled off with a vengeance. and, rushing into the room where the parrot was, succeeded in breaking into polly's cage. Polly was playing circus with her claws and bill, and when she spied the rat she came down on his back with both claws and held it firmly to the bottom of the cage. The rat rolled over and twisted it's head around, squealing like mad as polly pecked at it's eyes and soon had them both out. The rat snapped and tore out some of polly's feath- CTS, but she held fast to the vsrnint and succeeded in killing it.

 Manager Wall speaks of the production of the new play, ''The Artists Model" in glow

 and outlines it plot and character as follows: "The author of the new play to be pre-
 sented to night, has invested his plot with
 happy mingling of pathos and humor. The story is centered upon the last of the house
 of Chandos, whose ancestors had won high distinction among England's early defenders.
 The last of the ancient family, Sir Richard Ohandos, regardless of his high estate and
 pride of race has wed the daughter of his gamekeeper. Lady Chandos worthily fills the high position to which her husbands love has elevated her, and she has the re- spect and esteem of all society. Through the machinations of a scheming lawyer, Sir Richard Chandos is reduced to poverty. His

 breaks down under the blow; his health is shattered and he is finally in extremis.
 Money is required to remove him to 0 warm

Her beauty attracts the attention of an artist, who makes her liberal offer to sit as model for picture of the Goddess ssDiana."' Her husbands suffering, her ohild's grief, goads her to madness, and in despair she accepts his offer. A relative of his family dies and the proud Chandos is again restored to wealth. The scheming law yer, now the owner of "Chandos Towers," buys the picture of '::Diana," places it upon exhibition and tells the story of it's creation. Chandos, overwhelmed with shame, rebukes his wife for having made such @ sacrifice to save his life, and forsakes her. After months of suffering in foreign land he returns hum bled and abashed, and the proud Chandos humbly sues pardon of the loving wife he has wronged. The villainous lawyer is suffi- stored to the home of the "Chandos of the l broken heart"

A SODA LOCOMOTIVE.
The First Engines of the Kind Ever
 Built in This Country.

From the Railway Age.l
 Four locomotives to be run by soda, which takes the place of fire under the boiler, have been built in Philadelphia. They are for service on the streets of Minneapolis, Minn., where steam engines are forbidden. The en- zine is about sixteen feet long, entirely boxed in, with no visible smoke stack or pipes, as there is no exhaust or refuse. The boiler is of copper, eighty-four and ope-half inches in diameter and fifteen feet long, having tubes running through it as in steam boilers. Inside the boiler will be placed five tons of soda, which, upon being dampened by jet of steam, produces an intense heat. In about six hours the soda is thoroughly sstu- rated, when the action ceases.
 stream of superheated steam from 8 stationary boiler is then forced through the soda, which drives out the moisture, and the soda is ready for use again. The exhaust steam from the cylinders is used to saturate the soda, and by this means all refuse is used.
 These engines are the first of their kind that have been built in this country. They will have the same power ss those used on the New York elevated roads. Soda engines are used in Berlin and other European cities very successfully, and they also traverse the St. Gothard tunnel, under the Alps, where the steam engines cannot be used, because the tunnel cannot be ventilated SO as to ear- ry off the noxious gases generated by 10. comotive.
