A GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
the success of "THE century" and its
PLANS KOU 1891.
THE CENTURY MAGAZINE IB DOW BO Well
known that to'tell of Its past success seems
Blmoat an old story. The New York 7Vt6
une has said that It and its companion, St.
yicholas for Young folk*, issued by the same
house, "are read by every one person In
lhtr>y of the country's population,"? and
large editions of both are sent beyond the
seas It Is an interesting fact that a few
years ago It was found that seven thousand
copies of The Century went to Scotland,?
quite a respectable edition In Itself. The
question in England is no longer "Who reads
an American book ?" but "Who does not see
the > merlcan magazines ?'
A few years ago The Century about doubled i
its circulation with the famous War I'apersi ;
by General Grant and others, adding manj
more readers later with the Lincoln History
and Kennan's thrilling articles on the Slber
ian Exile System. One great feature of 1891
is to be.
"THE GOLD HUNTERS OK CALIFORNIA,"
describing that remarkable movement to
the (?old fields in '19, In a series of richly illus
trated articles written by survivor *, including
the narratives of men who went to Califor
nia by the different routes, accounts of gold I
discoveries, life in the mines, the work of
the vigilance committees (by the chairmen \
of the committees) etc.. etc. General Fre
mout's last writing was done for this series.
In November appears the opening article,
"The First Emigrant Train to t allfornla, ?
crossing the Rockies In 1841,? by General
Bidwell, a pioneer of pioneers. Thousands
of American families who had some relatl\e
or friend among "the Argonauts of i'J will
be Interested In these paj>eis.
MANY OTHER GOOD THINGS AKE COMLNG,
the narrative of an American's travels
through that unknown land Thibet (for <00
miles over ground never before trod by a
white man); the experiences of escaping
War-Prisoners; American Newspapers de
scribed by well-known journalists; accounts
of the great Indiau Fighters, ( lister and
others; personal anecdotes ot Lincoln, bj
his private secretaries; "The Faith Doctor.',
a novel l>y Edward Eggleston, with a won.
derful rich program n e of novelettes and
stories by most of the leading writers, etc.,
etc.
It is also announced that The Century has
purchased the rl){lit to print, before its ap
pearance in France or any other country, ex
tracts irom advance sheets of the famous
Talleyrand Memoirs, which have been secret
ly preserved for half a century -tobeflrst
given to the world through the pages of an
American magazine. All Europe is eagerlj
awaiting the publication of this personal
history of Talleyrand? greatest of Intriguers
and diplomats.
The November Century begins the volume,
and new subscribers should commence with
that issue. The subscription price (81.1*1) may
oe remitted directly to the publishers, The
Century Co., :? East 17th St., New York- or
single copies may l?e purchased of any news
dealer. The publishers otter to send a free
sample copy? a recent back number toanj
one di siring it.
CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
WHAT "ST. NICHOLAS" HAS DONE FOR ROYS
AND GIRLS.
Victor Hugo calls this "the woman'scen
tury," and he might have added that it Is
the children's century as well, for never be
fore in the world s history lias so much
thought been p-ild to children? their schools,
their books, their pictures, and their toys
Childhood, as we understand it, Is a recent
discovery.
I'p to the time of the issue of the St.
yicholas Magazine seventeen years a^o liter
ature and children's magazines were almost
contradictory terms, but the new periodical
started out with the Idea that nothing was
too good for children; the result has been a
juvenile magazine genuine with conscien
tious purpose, ? the greatest writers contrib
uting to it. with the best artists and en
gravers helping to beautify It, -and every
thing tuned to the key-note of youth.
It has been special aim of St. yicholas to
supplant unhealthy literature with stories
of a living and healthful Interest. It will
not do to take fascinating bad literature
out of boys' hands, and give them in its place
Mrs. Uarbauld am' Peter Parley, or the
work of writers who think that any "good-y
talk will do for children, but they must have
strong, Interesting reading, with the blood
and sinew of real life In It, ? reading that
will waken them to a closer observation of
the best things about them.
In the seventeen years of its life St.
yicholas has not only elevated the children,
but It has also elevated the tone of contem
porary children's literature as well. Many ,
of lis" stories, like Mrs. Harnett's "Little
Lord Fauntleroy," have become classic. It
Is not too much to say that almost every no
table young people's story now produced in
America first seeks the light In the pages
of that magazine.
The years 1h<U will prove once more that
"no household where there are children Is
complete without St. yicholas." J. T. Trow
bridge, Noah Brooks, Charles Dudley Warner
and many well-known writers are to contri
bute during this coming year, one cannot
put the spirit of St. yicholas Into a pros
pect us, but the publishers are ulad to send a
full announcement of the features for is.d
and a single sample copy to the address of
any person mentioning this n tlce. 1 ne
magazine costs a year. Address Hie
Century Co., 33 East 17th St.. New York.
The Queen Pays All Expenses.
The Queen's last "Free Trip to Europe" hav
ing excited such universal Interest, the pub
lishers of that popular magazine offer anoth
er and 8-1)0 for expenses to the person sending

It Saved My Life.
After suffering for twelve years ;
from contagious Blood l'oison, and
trying the best physicians attainable !
and all the patent medicines procura !
ble, and steadily continuing to grow I
worse, I gave up all hopes of recov
ery, and the physicians pronounced
the case incurable. Hoping against
i hope 1 tried S. S. S. I improved
from the first bottle, and after taking
twelve was cured, sound and well, j
and for two years have had no return
or symptom of the vile disease. As 1

testimony for publication.

The People Must Pay.
It is easy enough to say dogmati
cally that increased tariff duties do
not mean increased prices to the con
sumer, that the ' foreigner pays the
tax" and that local competition in
the home market keeps the actual
cost within reasonable limit.
But there is no argument 60 potent
or convincing as the cold facts.
Some of the truths readily deduced
may be summarized briefly.
The duty on anvils was increased
one-half cent a pound. The price has
advanced about twice as much.
By the strongest insistence the Sen
ate conferrees compelled McKiuley
to leave the windoW-glass duty as be
fore. But the Administration bill
has enabled the Trust to raise prices
four times and yet another advance
is anticipated.
The duty on raisins was increased
one-half cent a pound. The price
has advanced twelve cents on a
twenty-pound box.
The duty on prunes was increased
one cent a pound. The price of the
domestic article has advanced four
cents and of those imported nearly
as much.
There was no duty on evaporated
apples under the old tariff. They
are now taxed two cents a pound.
The price has advanced six and one
half cents a pound.
Canned peas were taxed 30 per cent :
under the old tariff. They now pay
40 per cent. The price has advanced
four cents a can.
A like increase was made in the
duty on Lima beans. The price ha*
advanced from five to eight cents a
can.
The duty on smoked beef was in
creased one cent a pound. The price
has advanced exactly that amount.
The tax on shotguns was increased
by the imposition of a specific duty
of from *4 to $? each, The price has
advanced ?3 on all standard grades.
An additional specific duty of 10
cents a yard was placed on ginghams.
The price has advanced 50 per cent.
Under the old tariff the ad valorem
duty on plush garments was 40 per
cent. Now it is 60. The retail price
has advanced from $1 to $2 on each
garment. Only one firm in this conn,
try makes, fcthese goods. It has
promptly raised prices to jobbers
from 10 to 25 per cent. Linen goods
and velvets have gone up a like
amount. The Ainoskeag Company
also has raised the price of prints
one-fourth of a cent a yard, lhat
this company needed further "pro
tection for its infant industry is cleat ?
lv shown by the fact that its net
profits last year were only 1471,824.
Next year they will be more.
These are only a few of the manj
instances of cause and effect shown
by the tables of comparative duties
and prices. All are well worthy of
the consideration of every citizen.
It must also be remembered that
these changes have taken place in
less than one month since the 'I rust
tariff became a law. How great will
be the advance when a year shall
have expired is a matter only of aj?
prehensive conjecture.? World.
Turned to White Marble.
A petrified human body? a body
which has turned from flesh to white
marble as hard and firm as the stone
itself. This is the very strange and
exceptional sight in the undertaking
establishment of F. X. Billy, at At
lanta, Ga. It is a case which will be
spoken of and treaties written upon
in future works on embalming.
The body is that of Edward Sound
strong, formerly the chemist of the At
lanta Perfumery Company. Forty
five days ago Mr. Soundstrong died,
and his remains were taken to Mr.
Billeys office to be embalmed. The
dead chemist's wife is in Sweden, his
native home, and she requested that
his body be embalmed, so that she
could come a .toss the ocean and look
upon his face again.
The body was embalmed by Mr.
Biliey himself. Some days ago lie no
ticed that the flesh was crystalizing.
The 11 uids used in embalming are ex
ceedingly poisonous, and as Mr.
Soundstrong had died from mercurial
poison, Mr. Biliey believed the action
of one poison on another was produ
cing the strange result. Gradually
the face of the dead man became
whiter and whiter, harder and harder,
until now it is nothing but white
stone, as white and firm as marble.
Mr. Biliey is an undertaker and em
balmer of long experience, but never
in his life, he says, has he either
heard or seen of such an instance as
this one.
The bereaved wife of the dead
chemist has reached Atlanta, after
her long trip from Sweden, and has
looked upon the stone face of her j
husband. Her grief was pitiful to
see. Next week the body will be
taken back to Sweden, where it will
rest under the sod of his nati\e
land.
