What Magazine Editors Cost.

You ask me how magazine editors
and managers are paid. Both are
high priced, because upon their energy
and Judgment naturally depend the
entire success of their periodicals.
Mr. Glider of the Century is paid
$4,000 year, and has an interest
besides. Mr.. Alden of Harper's re
ceives about tbs same salary, but has
no proprietorship. Mr.. Burlingame
of Scribner's is also paid a generous
salary. Mr.. Aldrich of the Atlantic
receives a more moderate income, but
his duties are less burdensome, since
he has only letter-press and no illus
trations to look after, which makes a
wonderful difference in an EDITORS du-
ties. The Ladies Home Journal has
for several years paid it's editor
$4,000 per year. Mr.. Metcalf of
the Forum receives also a large sala-
ry, and is q stakeholder in the maya
zine besides. The editors Ofthe North
American Review and the Cosmopoli-
tan are also the owners, and thus de-
rive their income from the profits or
share the losses-either of which is
probable. A good business manager
who can control a profitable adver-

boom the circulation of themagazine
is an invaluable man and at pres
ent is a scarce commodity. Such a
man can command and easily get
from $1,000 to $4,000 year, and
is worth it, if he be the right man
men, for example, like Mr. Double
day, of Scribner's, Mr.. Hazen of the
Century, Mr.. Seymour, of Harper's,
or Mr.. Seaman of the Cassell's. These
men are practically the life and sinew
of the magazines over which they pre-
side, and are worth their weight in
gold, for the financial strength of a
magazine comes not so much from
its circulation as directly from the
advertising pages.-Edward W.Bok,

unOccupied farms and lands unoccu-
pied. The published list includes so
towns, which are designated on the
map by being eolored red. The com
missioner states that good farms
with fair buildings and maple sugar
orchards can be purchased at from
three dollars to five per acre. Others,
with better buildings, and near rail
roads or villages, can be bought for
from five to ten dollars per acre.
None of these lands arefar from ready
market, and all are adapted to dairy
purposes. Payments made easy.
Farm labor is in great demand at
good wages. These facts are based
upon official reports gathered by the
commissioner from the listers and
clerks of the various towns. The map
is brought up to Jan. L, 80. Already
several thousand letters have been
received by the commissioner and
his assistants from every section of

Field of the public sohool.

The common schools of this coun-
try are public institutions. That is,
they are maintained by the State for
her own ends. These ends are the
training of the children of the State
in such lines and in such manner as
shall fit them for citizenship. The
schools are the States means of self
perpetuation. The State recognizes
the need of certain qualifications for
citizenship. Hence she establishes
public schools to instruct her children
in these essentials. This she must do
for herself, as thus alone can she be
sure that it is universally and thor
oughly done. She cannot delegate it
to another. There is practical con-
sensus as to these qualifications. Chill
dren must become, as good citizens,
selfsupporting, intelligent, moral,
with powers thoroughly trained to
meet all new difficulties. No one is
prepared to dispute this. No one de-
MES that morality should be incul-
Gated. All admit that children in
school should be taught the princi-
pies of moral conduct and be COM
PEELED to practice them. Upon this
practical consensus our public cur
riculum is based 1t includes, in gen.
eral, training of the moral and intel
lectual powers. 1t can all be given,
too, without stirring up controversy
the moral as well as the intellect
ual. The essential principles of NOR
atty are matters of general agree
ment. They can be taught as moral
principles on philosophical grounds,
admitted by religionist and infdel,
Protestant and Catholic, alike Truth
fulness, purity, public spirit, kindness,
admit of no dispute. But here the
consensus ends. Hence the curricu-
lum must end here. Let it attempt
to tread upon the field of religion, and
war must follow War means disas-
ter. 1t will be civil war, none the less
disastrous because bloodless. Unjust
end in either the oppression of one
party by the other, orin separation
secession-bothfatal The free State
can not go so far. 1t is compelled by
necessity, by the constitution of
things, to rest upon the consensus.
The State does not declare against
religion 1t leaves it to the church
and family. And so it must until, if
the time ever comes, some consensus
is reached as to what is important
for the child to learn of religion, for
the good of the State.-[St. Paul

Ode to La Grippe,

Oh, the grippe, the grippe, the sneezing la
grippe,
That tickles the nose and Fuckers the lip;
1t swells up the eyes and forces the tears,
Then pinches the throat and corks up the ears.
1t stuffs up the lungs as tight as a drum,
And pounds on the head with deafening hum
1t stiffens the back with malice prepense
And acts like a loon-without any sense.
1t screws up the joints and turns up the toes
Such a grip is a fraud clear through to the
core.
Why didn't it stay the wide waters DER?
IT'S a Socialist grippe with Nihilist mind,
A sickening sample of a dangerous kind.
No foreigners grippe should be patronized
here.
Give us home production American clear
Oh, where is Edison and what's he about?
Why doesn't he hurry this foreign thing out I?
An American grip with only one p,
Is just what We want and are anxious to see.
But perhaps this infection as a warning was
brought,
To beware of Free Trade, not mapping be
caught.
Put a tariff on grippe and all foreign stuff,
American productions arequite good enough.
J.. t.
Free Traders may omit the last verse.
A friend writes us asking the symp-
toms OF "lagrlppe" up here with us.
As near as we remember they are as
follows: First, feeling of profound
laziness-that is, more than usual !;
then the nose swells until it has the
color and size of an overgrown early
rose potato; the sap begins to run,
and handkerchiefs are at a discount :;
a big carriage sponge does quite well !;
the head enlarges two or three sizes,
and feels like an animated buzz-saw
or a batch of camp-biscuit; there are
sensations of wanting to growl and
bite everybody within reach. Call it
lagrippe, ''infuenzeys," or what you
please; it leaves one with a sensation
of having been run through clothes
wringer one day, and wheel-gTease
bath the next. The only warning we
give is not to catch cold in that nose,
for we don't nose it would get back
its normal size and complexion in all
winter.
