vail and that people will earn money and

For forty-nine years THE INDEPENDENT
has held the first position among the great
religious, literary and family weeklies of this
country, and it proposes to fill that position
in the future. 1t has adopted several new,
interesting and important features, two of
which are: ssThe Survey of the World,''
which gives in concise form all the impor-
tant events that have happened in the world
during the week, and 'sWork Indoors and
Out" which tells men, women, boys and
girls how to earn money IN variety ofways.
In general the paper is particularly fitted for
professional men, business men, merchants,
farmers and families. 1t costs but six cents a
week-$3,oo year-or at that rate for any
part of a year. A specimen copy will be sent
to any person free by addressing THE INDIE
PENDENT, New York City.
