HUNDRED TON MAGAZINE
ORDER.

An event in periodical literature,
not without it's significance to the
general public as showing the growth
of the reading classes, was the receipt
on the 9th, of November by the Cos
mopolit in Ma gazine of the order given
below. A single order from news
company for one hundred tons of
magazines! That is almost an event
in the history of the world. A like
order has never before been made,and
if past ratios be maintained it means
considerably moro than half million
circulation for the December Cosmo-
politan. Yet, when the list of authors
and artists in the December number
is examined, one is not so much sur
prised. 1t contains the only known
unpublished manus cript of De
Maupassant, illustrated by Verge,
perhaps the most famous of European
illustrations; after the Worlds Fair,
by Paul Bourget, John J. Ingalls,,
William Dean Howells, Lyman J.
Gage, Arthur Sherburne Hardy Mark
Twain, Robert Grant, and others
nearly as famous, and nearly two
hundred illustrations, to which the
following artists contribute: Hopkin-
son Smith, Kemble, Harry Fem, F.
o. Small. Atwood, Henckel, Dan
Beard, Reinhart and Remington.
Think of having the Worlds Fair
done by such expensive men as
Howells, Mark Twain and Paul Bour-
get, and sending such artists as
Charles S. Reinhart to Chicago for a
single number of a magazine to be
sold for only Is cents, or by
subscription 125 cents. A book
publisher, preparing such a book
would not dare incur these expenses
short of $500 a copy. Is it not a
revolution that is an improvement
upon old methods, a revolution of vast
importance to the reading public?
The order to which reference is made
reads as follows:

Unchristian Science.

On Sunday last Rev. Joseph Hegg
preached two sermons on christian
science in the M. e. church. They
were brought out by reason of two of
these imposters coming to town to
spread their pernicious doctrines
among weak-minded people of both
sexes. In the morning he roasted
them brown, taking their own book
from which to condemn them. In the
evening he turned them over, roasted,
basted and baked them we'll on the
other side; then he wiped the floor
with them till there wasn't as much
of their so called christian science
left as bird could carry away in her
claws. AS controversialist, Mr.. Hogg
proves himself to be a master of the
art; but controversy was not his
object; he had seen in other places
the evil of allowing such false teachers
to pass unnoticed, and resolved like
his great prototype Paul, to do battle
for Christ and his teachings.
His actions were timely and good,
the teachers were here, and in the
church; many people were wavering,
who were foolish enough to listen to
their insidious falsehoods, and willy
insinuatlons, CLOSED as they were by
extracts from Holy Writ, when Mr..
Hogg, with master hand, tore away
the gauzy veil that was darkeulng
their minds, and let in the light. We
sincerely trust that this one days
labor of the great preacher will be all
that is necessary to draw back the
hesitating from following phantoms,
to their original faith in Christ and
to the doctrines Of christianity.

Mixed Farming.

The depressed condition of the
wheat market this year, and the small
amount of wheat the farmer has to sell
has made even the wheat buyers tired.
One of them asked us a few days ago
why we didn't write more about mixed
farming. Mr.. Burnett, of the south
st. Paul stock yards, told us on Mon
day that there is always a good
market for good beef cattle, and there
is fortune in hogs. He also said
barley, ground, made as good pork as
corn. Now barley will average thirty
five bushels per acre, and with the
present conveniences every farmer
can grind his own feed. Then why
should farmers give all their money
for threshing bills, and to machinery
agents?
We don't have to go east to fnd
mixed farming profitable; in southern
Minnesota it is a success. And even
seventy-tive or one hundred miles east
of us where the wooded condition of
the country prevents their turning
over the land by the hundred or
thousand acres, men are driven by
sheer necessity to their own advantage.
by mixing their farming.
Every man living within FIVE miles
of station in this county could raise
from five to ten acres of potatoes, and
one hundred acres of barley, which
barley, when fed to hogs would yield
more than five hundred acres of wheat
in the elevator.

This Tells.

On Monday morning we were
handed check from a gentleman for
$500, as token of his appreciation
of the manly, fearless course taken by
Rev. J. Hogg, in proclaiming "the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but thei TRUTH" ON the subject of
christian science on Sunday last. An
hour later Mr.. Hogg called at our
Office to inform us of another gentle
man who handed him V for the very
same cause. Neither of these gentle
men are members of the Methodist
church. This tells that the people
are ali right when their christianity is
assailed; and so may it ever be.

Seed Wheat.

On Nov. 23rd, The Sun contained
an article on the very important
subject of seed grain for the coming
year, for those farmers who from
various causes have been unable to
hold ON to their seed. We suggested
that the Governor call an extra
session of the legislature if he have
not the power to act without their aid,
and failinglthis, that the commissioners
of the different counties take some
action in the matter. In the line of
these suggestions another mode of
relief springs up, which we did not
look for. One of the leading whole
sale merchants of St. Paul has made
the proposition to one of our mer-
chants that the ST.. Paul jobbers
furnish the money for the seed and
that it be refunded to them in one,
two and three years, as they did to
the DEVILS Lake farmers. This plan
Ii practical would have some advan-
tages over the others. Last year the
state required security the most needy
could not give, which to great ex-
tent neutralized the intended benefits.
Again, there will be men found ready
to furnish the seed at three times its
market value, which this plan would
Illustrate.
Now to make this plan work, the
farmers should get together, and
should hold a meeting in conjunction
with the business men Of Morris, who
are equally interested with them
selves, and draft some plan which
would be practicable, and would
afford them the needed relief. There
is no time to waste i'll this business;
the seed should be procured at once.
This is no Utopian dream, the St.
Paul merchant spoken Of is one Of
the city's foremost business men, and
he says the jobbers would be ready
for their end of the business. Let us
see a move made by some one, the
case is most urgent, and as much so
to the business men as to the needy
farmers.
