sured. Artists, too, are to be discovered
and given helpful uplift. The first num-
Der begins well. Among other contribu-
tors. II. w. Morrow writes about literary
greatness, and incidentally apologies for
the average magazine editor in this fash
ion: 1.-The editor is a man of business, and
he says that he is the best friend of bud
ding genius. That he is unable, until the
bud has been pretty well developed by the
careful hoeing and watering OF some one
else, to decide whether it is going to be a
Chinese lily or a pansy; that he cannot
always tell the scream of the eagle from
the cluck of Brahma hen, or winged
cupid from furniture van, is not his fault
but the misfortune of his readers. The
sun is not the only luminary capable of
dazzling the eye"
CHIPS TO BE A WEEKLY.
Chips, the little magazine published
from $50 Nassau street, New York, has
proved SO acceptable to the public that it
will be issued every week hereafter. The
subscription has been increased to So a
year.
THE CHAP BOOK.
Stone & Kimball have so increased the
size of their Chicago Chap Book that it
runs the risk of getting outside the list of
'little thin books" With increase in
volume there has been proportionate in
crease in merit of the publication, and,
therefore. the public will not complain.
Fanciers of French posters will find the
Chan Books list particularly entertaining.
