The general impression prevails
much to the blight and discoura cement
of youthful poets. that books OF Verse
do not sell, and that the commercially
minded publisher, being in business for
his bread and butter and not for his
aesthetic culture. is prone to decline
book making enterprises Of a poetical
nature. While this is true. in the
main. there is evidently kind Of poem
which does sell, and from which both
author and publisher derive comfort
able profits. Probably one of the most
striking instances of profitable Verse
making and selling is that of Mr.. Will
Carleton, whose publishers, the Harp
ers. state that they have published
and sold $4,000 copies of Mr.. earle
tons six volumes of Farm and City
Ballads. Festivals ana Legends. The
total amount received for these Vol
umes Of Verse, at retail rate, has
amounted to over one million dollars.
This is truly a remarkable record. and
indicates the possibilities of the COM
merCial success of Verse.

PRUNEs BETrER THAN CANDY.

Americans recognize California as the greatest fruit producing region of the world although they were not the first to see the great future of the state in this respect. The healthfulness of fruit has been emphasized by the palatable quality of the home grown article placed on the American market. The California prune has won its way to favor in this country against the French prune. It is larger and more delicious, and it also has the advantage of natural and entirely bealthful pro- cesses in it's preparation for the GUS toner. It is nutritious and not cloying like candy. and it is bound to come into favor as a substitute for sweets among parents who love to see a ruddy glow on the faces of their children.-L.eslie' {.
