THE JOURNALS POETS.
The Place Beautiful

There is a place-a strange and narrow strip
Unmarked as yet on any map or chart,
A bloomy bourn, where milk and honey drip,
And all things are, that satisfy the heart;
IT'S no mans land, and yet it lies so near,
That all the world, alike the rich and poor,
Can share it's beauty and enjoy its cheer,
One golden moment, as they cross it DER.
Not Arcady-not even Avalon
Nor Tempe Vale with its enchanted bowers,
Can match the dewy luster lying on
This peaceful realm Of laughter, light and flow
ers;
And If a weary pilgrim ever sue
For guidance to q land of lesser sins,
May some good spirit lead him forth to view
The place where friendship ends and love be
gins.
Mason, III. James Newton Matthews.

SOME CIRCULATION FIGURES.
Periodicals Not Heard of in High Lit

The Chap Book.

The Chap Book.
The paradox of the publishing trade is
the triumph of the unadvertised, the sue
cess of the uncriticised. In speaking of
periodicals we must talk of the submerged
nine-tenthS. The magazines which never
rise to the surface are the ones which per
meate the country; the papers which the
critics have never seen are as household
words throughout the land. The Ladies'
Home Journal is the most widely read of
the known magazines. 1t is the best eX-
ample of what its class may hope to at
tain. In Lord & Thomas's Advertisers
Directory 1t is rated at 739, 50l copies. This,
of course, is a tremendous circulation, and
indeed the business success of this publica-
ton has been amply commented upon. But
this figure sinks into comparative insig-
%nificance beside / ,252, 325, which is the circu-
lation, of the monthly, magazine Comfort,
published in Augusta, Me. We have never
seen a copy of Comfort, nor heard its name
upon the lips of any human being, yet it
is the most widely read publication of the
country. An advertisement in this same
directory asserts that it is the only month
ly in the world printed in five bright lithO-
graphic c%olors," which is the only specific
VIE have been able to obtain on
The publicly known magazines do not al
ways furnish as to their circu-
latlon but for the present comparison ap-
proNimate figures will serve. Munsey's
claim is for half a million. McClure's and
the Cosmopolitan send out 300, 900 copies
each; Harper's we find put down at $4,000,
the Century something over 10000, Serb
ner's and Frank Leslie's. perhaps 125, 900.

the real publishing center of our country.

Mason, III.

I said in my youth and pride,
There is naught but fame for me-;
No CLEAN in affection's tide
Shall temper my dream of power
Wait, Joy, for that browning hour.
Long since in the twilight's wane
I clasped the hand about me
Love silent held cut again;
And folded their bands in tears,
For that loss of early years.

CLOSED THEIR ENGAGEMENT.

The Hoyt comedy company has
lust closed successful engagement
here of eight performances, and at
each performance had very good
crowds, who were entertained in
several ways at each performance.
On Friday night, Lights and
Shadows" was presented and acted
very smoothly by all in the cast,
Miss Minnie Niblo, the petite lit
tie beauty who plays the piano so
well between acts, and accompani-
ments for songs, was put In the
cast that night in Miss Harrison's
place, this lady having disabled her
self by accideutly stepping on a
nail the night before. While we
missed Miss Harrison from the
stage, we can say that Miss Minnie
made a typical boy and acted the
character true to life,
Mr., Fritz Boone acted the part
of the Jew in a creditable manner,
as also did his wife sustain the part
of Mrs. 'Bobbleton.
The other actors sustained those
we mentained in good form,

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov, 26.-Fifteen
thousand employees of the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain systems,
whose salaries were cut from 5 to
10 per cent. in 1893, owing to the
prevailing hard times, have been
made glad by a proclamation issued
by president Gould restoring wages
to their former basis. The men
whose salaries we're cut, included
engineers, conductors, trainmen,
telegraph operators, station agents
and machinists. Their salaries
range from $50 per month to 81 900
a year. About 5000 employees live
or have headquarters in st. Louis,
Five hundred clerks are employed in

general offices, The remainder OF
the 5000 are in the yards and

The order dates from November /,
The Missouri Pacific system, in
the Iron Mountain, gives
employment to 10000 men. The
monthly pay roll averages 81 900,
900. The cut which is now restored
was made on December !, 1893.
Salaries OF employees making $50
were reduced 3 per cent, 10 per
cent from salaries above 5000, in
the highest officials Of the

time that It was the aim to reduce

The Western Floods.

The extent of the effect of the floods
along the Mississippi river and its
tributaries is hard to be appreciated by
those living in this favored section.
1t is estimated by the weather bureau
that not less than 1890 square miles
of territory in four States was under
water on April 6. OF this, 1900 square
miles were in Mississippi, 4,5OO in Ark
ansas, 1,75O in Missouri, 1900 in Ten
nessee, and 45O in Louisiana. Accord
ing to the census of 1890, the inun-
dated region had apopulation of nearly
100000, and the various flood districts
had no less than $500 plantations.
Adding to this the flooding of about
200 towns and villages, aud something
like 10000 families are homeless.
These figures, appalling in the aggre-
gate, are probably no exaggeration OF
the facts, and to place the damage from
the floods of 1897 at 800, 600, 900 is
safely within bounds.
