Take The Herald, sun, World, Times,

Of The sunday Dispatch and aercury,
and you have as many unbound volumes
Of choice matter as u man can read IN an
entire week. Yet there are thousands
who BUY the whole lot. The politicians
constitute one class Of purchasers; the
ladies are likewise a numerous body OF
customers; advertisers are eager 70 scan

4 whose name is familiar 10 the reading
world, a score OF shelves are occupied
with the scrap books that some day will
furnish him these best thoughts Of the
best writers Of our land.
1t is safe TO say that within a decade
the army Of readers has increased ten
fold; editors have, therefore, been COM
PEELED to Keep pace with the progressive
demands Of their more cultivated taste,
and thus we have better papers than ever
before. BY way of illustration, let me
briefly describe three of them IS they APP
peared on q recent Sunday-The World,
Sun aud Herald-all the titles referred
to covering articles ranging from q col
umn to page in length, and not includ
ing the current news OF the day.
Ia The World were nearly four pages
devoted to the return Of Nellie BY from
her remarkable trip around the world in
seventy-two days. One of these pages
contained an entire pictorial game based
on the event. 1t is safe 10 say that al
though the expedition did not cost The
World proprietor more than So, 900, the
daily sales of the paper during her ab-
sence have been increased five times that
amount. Other articles comprised Sal
vinTs farewell to America and autograph
letter of adieu; the offer OF a ten thousand
dollar policy for the most popular police
officer in the country, the question to be
decided by the vote of The Worlds read
ers; a special letter by CASTELAR,, the Bra
Spanish statesman, on affairs in Brazil;
how an artist paints a portrait; Tamie,.
the new rival of cotton; the progress OK
science and art; the story Of detective;
what it costs 10 keep a brOugham: what
is going on in society; new fads in note
paper, with the signatures Of some
of the fashionables; Annie Louise
Cary in a diet kitchen; n brilliant
achievement in stage machinery; dra-
matte criticisms, with notes; how to play
baseball indoors: The Worlds funny
side; Bill Nye on his travels; a page story
by Rider HaSgard; 4 sketch Of Paul
Jones by Admiral David Porter, and a
page devoted to the entertainment Of
youth. In addition to this were scores
of lesser articles, and editorials and ad-
vertisements galore. The index to the
latter alone occupied the eighth of col
umn. Altogether, the single issue con-
sisted Of thirty-two pages.
On the same Sunday, The Sun con-
tanned twenty-four pages, with guam
tity Of reading matter that would have
equipped an ordinary newspaper for a
week First came three columns Of
. brilliant gossip from its foreign CORE
pOndent. Then an interview with Dom
Pedro, the ex-emperor Of Brazil; a talk
with Emperor William; a graphic story
