Late Literary Note.

Two very important facts in con-
nection with the new era of magazines
are illustrated in the December Cos
mopolitan. Its fiction is by Steven
son, the last story written before his
death, ..Ouida' Sarah Grand, Zang-
will, and the beginning of James Lane
Aliens new Kentucky realistic story,
butterflies. Probably no stronger
array of fiction has ever been present
ed III any Magazine money could not
buy better. Nor has any magazine
ever had a larger number of really
distinguished artists engaged upon
the illustration of single number.
The reader might be puzzled to know
how such mum Der can be made at
the price of ten cents. But the mag
azine itself affords the solution.
1t contains 139 pages of advertising
which as the publishers announce, is
from 81 900 to IS 900 more net cash
advertising than was ever before
printed in any magazine, of any kind,
and in any country. 1t breaks the
worlds record in the publishing busi-
ness. Moreover. the cost of the art
lists and authors who appear in this
number is divided amongst 100000
copies, brings the cost per copy pro-
portionly low. The Cosmopolitan
thinks that the ten cent magazine,
bringing, as it does. the best in art
and literature into all classes, is an
educational movement second in inn
portance only to that of the public
schools.

A Years Newspapers.

The aggregate number of copies
issued during year by the news
papers, is estimated as twelve billions.
No idea of what this means can be
conveyed by the bald statement, and
comparison and illustration must be
resorted to. These papers, if spread
upon the ground, would cover l0,450
square miles, or an area nine times
as large as the State of Rhode Island.
If piled one upon another. allowing
one hundred papers to make only one
inch in thickness, the height would
be almost nineteen hundred miles.
If man were to handle one copy
each second, working ten hours a day,
and three hundred and thirteen days
a wear. he would be a thousand and
sixtv-fve wears old when he finished
counting them. The number of
words used in these billions of papers
would be simply mass of figures so
vast that no human mind could
comprehend their significance. Even
to tell few of the attractions and
advantages of the Burlington Route
as line of railroad, in the newspapers
of the Northwest, takes over five
million words a year-and then 1.-the
half has not been told" To get the
other half. the best way is by expert
ence. buying your railroad tickets
by this line always. Any ticket agent
can supply you: or you can write

If you are not a clam.

As Mary and her lamb.

Into the cheering rays
