most amusing and expensively got
ten-up, as well as the cheapest, Com
ic Magazine now published in the
world. Each number contains Thir
ty Pages of matter, and from Sixty
to Ninety Pictures-all the contents
leig of a humorous character. Nick
Nax as nearly completed its fourth
year, and is growing. in popularity.
It is a great favorite with all classes-
fathers and mothers,. sons and daugh
ters-since it contains nothing that
may not be read aloud in any family
circle. It is the publishers' desire
to make it especially
FUN FOR THE FAMILY.
One of its features is the Prize Puz
zle Department. The Publishers
have distributed during the last two
years, among those who have solved
the Puzzles, Gold Pelns and valuable
Books, which have had the tendency
to snake the competition earned and
interesting.
In fact, take it all in all, no more
'amusing sheet for the family, village
library, or hotel reading-room, or to
beguile the tedious hours of travel in
car or steamtboat, can be found any
where.
