The wide range of the circus
lations of American magazines
and the manner in witch they
penetrate the tarthest points of
the earth found new evidence
last week, when a single list of
FIVE hundred subscriptions to
Tie Ladies Home J0urNaL was
received by that magazine from
Bulgaria, the list being headed
by the name of Her Royal High
ness, the Princess Maria Louise.
George KEENAN,, the Siberian
traveller, said that he found this
magazine IN homes on hesteppes
of Siberia, while Peary met with
it in Greenland. 1t is an inter-
esting fact that The Ladies Home
Journal has subscriptions in
ffty-nine of the generally accep-
ted civilized nations OF the earth.
During the single month of
December last, for instance, it
received subscriptions from
Syria, Japan, Uruguay, Turkey,
