The Brandon Chronicle does not be-
6eve in plate matter but thinks that a
paper is better if all set at home That
depends on who edits the miscellany
and what facilities he has for selecting
the miscellany. The plate business
/ has grown immensely in the past few
years, and the two leading concerns
'employ Il better staff of editors than
any paper in Vermont. These have
every leading magazine and original
periodical to select from. Besides
this, the companies hire the ablest
writers in this country to furnish
them with original articles. stories,
sketches, etc, which they sell in plates
to their customers. The American
Press Association pays ln0re every
year for original articles than the
gross income of any Vermont paper.
ii recently paid $4,000 for a series of
articles from the pen of one American
writer. These companies have the
full Associated Press reports, the same
as a daily paper, and furnish news in
plates equal to, and as fresh as, any
daily The editor of the Chronicle is, /
evidently, not well informed on this
subject or else he judges the plate SER
vice by papers that buy only the
cheapest grade; for in plates as in ey-
erything else, there is a wide differ
ence as to quality. But the best SER

All the difference is that the Chron-

Donahoe,s for FEBRUARY.

None of the popular magazines appeal
to wider constituency than Donanoe's.
In recent number, the purpose of the
magazine was said to be to make people
think. That's big job; but if the Feb
ruary number OF Donahoe's doesn't ac-
complish ut least part of the task, then
il might as well be given up. First, there
is discussion of President Cleveland's
political character and acts, by James JEFF
frey Roche and John Ford. Both are ar
dent Democrats, but the latter hauls the
president most numerically over the
Goals, while the former defends his official
acts. A strong and lively article by James
w. Clarke, on the ethics of boxing, shows
how the golden rule is observed even in
the prize ring, and how boxing promotes
true manliness. Abbe Hogan tells mar
vellous story about Partisan society wo-
men who serve as nurses in cancer hos
pital. Jennie hice Ware gives the results
of the latest investigations in the subject
OF child labor in factories. Mary Eliza
beth Blake contributes delightful fairy
tale for grown folk, and there is the usual
amount of excellent fiction. From the be.
ginning to the end of the February num-
Der of Donahoe's, there is not line in
dicative OF higotry or narrowness or intol- /
ance. As usual, the magazine is profuse-
y illustrated.

stock feeding, dairying and kindred
topics. This idea, as applied to gener-
al reading by the Chautauquan Liter
airy Circles, has proved great success,
and much good has resulted from it.
There Is no reason why it would not
prove to be of much practial value if
applied to systematic study of farm
literature. We do not believe in the
Dretical farming, but farmers can gain
points from books and papers
written bv practical farmers. Why /
