The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1903-08-14

NEW YORK'S most interesting sights
IN are not always listed in the city's guide
books, nor on the tongue of the New Yorker
asked for a list of show places. The visitor
to New York who loves pictures finds keen
delight in haunting not alone the Metro
politan Museums galleries, but the scores
of picture stores. The friend of books
knows no happier hours than those passed
before out-of- the-way shelves of attractive
volumes. And the constant reader of
The Century and St. Nicholas, the man or
woman who has every number from the first
issue, often counts a visit to the home of
these magazines one of the privileges of a
trip to the great city. And not devoid of
interest to those of a younger generation,
who can count on their fingers their years
of acquaintanceship with the two magazines,
are the spacious, light, handsome offices
overlooking Union Square, where The Cen
fury Co. is always at home to visitors.
sWhere magazines number their friends
and acquaintance by hundreds of thou
sands, as do The Century and St. Nicholas,
these visitors are many in the course of a
twelve-month Turn from busy, b%ustling,
fascinating Broadway at Seventeenth Street,
and a few steps take one to the doors of the
Century building, which stands at the head
of Union Square. From the vestibule a
broad staircase of carved and paneled ma
hogany leads to the floors above, but most
visitors choose the elevator, which carries
them easily to the doors of the spacious
Office whose many broad windows look out
on the square.
The first impression is of books and pic
lures and light, an impression that grows
pleasantly as one passes through the broad
picture-lined hall to the rear Offices. Every
where there are pictures. Everywhere pos
Sble there are windows. And there are
books wherever practicable-under glassin

The president of the company has his pri-
tate Office at the southeast corner. Two
windows look out on Union Squares sun

A step farther down the hall and another
reception-room opens at the right, where
every day come many artists, their work
with them. Every afternoon is given up
by the head of the art department to in
specting and judging these offerings. Be
yopd this reception-room are the working
quarters Of the art department, gray and
1ndian-red the color scheme, and again
there are more pictures and more windows.
At the very end of the hall heavy curtains
shut off the offices where much of the edi-
torial work on the great Century Dictionary
was done, and where ceaseiess, u%ntiring
revision goes on.
AS one turns back to the main Office, the
first door OH the right opens into the de-
lightfully light and airy room where all the
multitudinous and perplexing details of the
subscriptions for both magazines are looked
after. The rest of the floors space, sew
enty-fve feet frontage on Union Square,
one hundred and twenty-five feet on Eigh-
tenth Street, and two hundred feet deep,
is given up to the packing room, storage of
supplies, ETC., for all of which three more
large floors are needed in an annex of the
De Winnie Press building on Lafayette
Place.
Among the treasures of The CenturyCo.'s
offices to-day is a worn, time-stained copy
of the firms first issue, bearing date No
vember, 1870. 1t looks as Anticipated and
g%rotesque, laid beside the artistic up-to-
dateness Of the current number, as a frock
or coat of that year beside a seasons model
of a modish modiste or tailor. One smiles
and signs over the thought that these one
hundred and twelve pages, in Judged by
to-day's standards) ugly green cover, with
wood-cuts that seem so rude beside recent
triumphs, were the acme of elegance and
skill in 1870. Even to-day, though, one is
impressed by the list of men and women who
contributed to this first number of the new
magazine. Here is a reproduction of that
old table of contents:

once spoke of The Century's history as "a
bold struggle after an ideal" How nearly
the purpose and hope of these men, whose
work is now carried on by younger heads
and hands, nave been realized, The Century
and St. Nicholas of to-day, valued friends in
uncounted thousands of the best homes of
the land, bear witness.
If the visitor is at all interested in behind

go to proofreader, editor, and author, and
are read, corrected, sent back for change;
and re-read and re-corrected many times,
often to the limit of all patience. Only

BRA1N-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, ard still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be. its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion Or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their APP
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purities the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at Donovan & Co.'S,
drug store. Price 25c and IS cents.
