What a Magazine Costs.


 "A few readers of American magazines" said a prominent publisher the other day, "know what it cost to prodcce even single issue of one of the great monthly periodicals which now stand at the head of publications of their class the world over. The illustra- tions for The Century and Harpers Magazlne cost on au average about $5,OOo per month, but with these two established magazines the cost is diminishing rather than lnereas- ing, as both are using the process engraving more and more With Scribner's on the other hand, large sums of money are being expended upon the engravings, as this young periodical seems determined to equal It's older contemporaries at no matter what cost. carful estimate of the money spent in il- frustrating the Christmas numbers of Hsr- per's and Scribner's put the sum at $7,OO0 each, as both magazines contain about 70 pictures, the average being about S1OO for an engraving. Many of the full-page sblocks' cost $500 each, and some of the half-page illustrations, which readers often pass by unuoticed, cost from $20O to $2oo each. These prices are easily accounted for when 1t is remembered that men like J. AL ben Weir, Eiihu Vedder, Will H. Low, A. B. Frost, receive from $100 to $150 draw ing. Ten years ago the highest price paid for the same work was $50 drawing for full-page illustration. To come to the liter ary matter: The expense for articles and stories, @ large proportion of which are pre-. pared to order, cost on an average about $25 printed page, and I have known $lO0 page, to be demanded. The fixed charge on the large magazines for literary and ar to $1O,0s0 a month, enough to eat up the profits on 100, ,0e0 copies.

 Bsrret and Booth have bed chambers on the top floor of the Players Club House, and theae were open on ladies' day for the inspea- tion of the fair guests, who appeared to be greatly interested. Booths apartment occu- pies the front Of the house, and looks like the usual bachelor quarters, with that mix ture of luxury and comfortlessuess so com- mon in the apartments of 8 man. It is a large, airy apartment, overlooking Grsmer- cy Square, prettily papered with quaint little legends on the freeze taken from the older dramatists and Shakespeare. Some of the furniture is very handsome, and has rather the air of theatrical properties-including the beautiful old Hamlet chair, the sword which he wears as the Danish prince stand ing in the corner by the chimney piece. There are no frills daintiness anywhere, only bookcase in the corner excited the at tention and curiosity of the woman because of the bit of drapery evidently thrown there in haste to conceal the contents behind the glass door. Most of them found chance in passing to twitch this drapery aside and get glimpse of the interior, which revealed that there had been sudden housekeeping be- fore they came and a confused mass of old pipes, tobacco jars, boots and odds and ends of every description had been tumbled in thare to he hidden from view

Pafdfn Solid Silver.

The London correspondent of the Shelf
 field Telegraph hears that orders have been
 given at the various government works to
 pay the workmen's wages in future in silver,
 so far as an amount in silver Is legal tender namely up to 40 shillings. In some cases an enormous heap of silver will be required for instance, at Woolwich, where from e2O, 900 to 900 are paid away weekly. In Birmingham the amount is about f1 ,000. One explanation is that great inconvenience has hitherto been felt by the men from hav- ing to get gold changed before they could make their weekly purchases. The small tradesmen with whom they deal are often unable to give change, and too frequently the only recourse is to the public house, where, of course, more or less of the sover- eign ia melted" To remedy this evil, the wages are now to be paid in silver. Beside this advantage, however, there undoubtedly is the further one of relieving the bank of some of its large ovsrstock of silver, and bringing back good deal of gold to London, where it is more needed,

The Boy on the Wasp.


 A wasp is six-legged bird that lives most ly in the trees and uRder the eyes of barns, and you cannot tame him; he is to busy.

THE CENTER CHURCH MEMORIAL

The action of the board of aldermen cons eerning the request of 8 committee of the Center church was somewhat surprising. It does not appear that the committee asked anything unreasonable, or that could not be granted without injury to the beautiful Green which all the people of the city are equally interested in protecting. For some time it has been desired and planned to add to the Center church building a "Founders' memorial" which would add to the historic al character and interest of the building, and be also of lasting public interest and value. For this purpose the committee asked to be allowed to use piece of ground in the rear of the building not more than ten feet deep and not more than twenty feet wide. More than this space (about twice as much) is now enclosed by an iron fence, and thus there would be no encroachment on the Green which does not already exist. That the Green should not be misused is proposi- tion which needs no support. Rut it would not be misussd by the building of the pro- posed memorial. No ground that is not al- ready enclosed would be taken, and not half of that. The addition to the building is to be of character which will add much to the attraction of that part of the Green. It is to have inscriptions and statues which will be perpetual object lessons to all who hold pa- triotism and religion in honor. Center church is now very interesting both to those who live in New Haven, and those who visit our city. The memorial will make it doubly so. Instead of opposition to its well consid. cred and public spirited plan the Center church ought to receive prompt and hearty support.
 The action of the council in endorsing the committees idea seems to US more in accord anoe with what is just and desirable than that of the aldermen. It is difficult to sec any valid objection to the plan. Certainly none has yet been made. It Is right to bt jealous of any encroaohment on the Green But in this case there is no real enoroach ment, and the plan provides for a structure both ornamental and impressively historical It is, we believe, reasonably certain that the church has right to use much more ground than it now uses. But 1t sho uld not be oona- pelled to exercise that right in the present case. The aldermen would not do them- selves or anybody else any injustice by tax. ing another look at the matter.

A Mirror eff Your Mind.

lWilbur W. White, in The ChoutauQuan-l
 Starting with the word Washington, write down one hundred words just as they occur to you. Let your second word be the one which Washington naturally suggests to you. Possibly it will be capitol. It may be Presi- dent. Take the word which first comes into your mind. In the same manner let the third word be suggested by the second, the fourth by the third, and so on. Be careful that the third word is not suggested by both the first and second. Drop the first entirely, and let your mind ge from the second alone to the third. Having written this list of words, you will have furnished yourself with 6 cheap but very useful mirror of your mind. If you are able to use this mirror, you may discover some very serious defects in your mental processes. You may discover that you think along certain lines too ire auently. You may discover that you are using superficial principles quite to much. to the neglect of more important laws of mind. You will thus be led to avoid certain lik, ings, and to encourage others to more philosopical usture

IS a blood disease. Until the poison is \ expelled from the system, there can be no cure for this loathsome and dangerous malady. Therefore, the only effective treatment is a thorough course of Ayers Sarsaparilla-the best of all blood purifiers. The sooner you begin the better delay is dangerous.
