The American uia/azine* have come to he rsovmzvd the w.jrld ..ver aa the beet illuatratrd anil m-t ably conducted : iu fact, it is aaid that lanter editions are sold in Kutdand uf at least two uf uor magazines than uf any uf the monthlies This condition haa resulted triu the fact that the Amen.\ui magazine* he:Ute at no expense., either f- >r the purchase f manuscript or illua- tration. f-jti OU) ha* been paid by one uiK.'azine fr a tingle series. Millions are invested in the business, aod they can well aff. .id t... pay any price for an article of uuusua! interest. Probably no sin.'Ie cauar is having tuch an eftwct in the education ..f both old and yowBf Aicenca a* these magazines. They are ;--uetrti!!j into every household. Their bvautiful riiraviu:i serve aa instructors even ti> those unable or too busy to read. The most popular authors recognue that they can obtain otore m.<ney from the magazine^ than by pablttbma in book r rui. In proportion to bound volume*, the magazine k-ives as four to one. Take for instance the Coamopilitan, which contains annually 1536 pa<e* by the lead ina writers > f tbe world, aiid more than 1'JOO illustration* by clever artuta. That would make foar volumes of nearly 400 paKea each, yet it i furnished to the subscriber at only 12.40 a year. The four bound volumes which it would make w. uld be worth on the book stands not less than f!2 00. It seems impossi- ble that so much should be furnished for s little, and it is only when the num- ber reaches 100,000 or upward* that tuch wrk can be turned out at a profit t the publisher. Formerly it wat con- sidered impossible to place tuch a maga- zine before the public for less than (4 00 per annum, and the prediction* were numerous, when the price of the Cosmo- politan wat tiled at $2 40. that it would DM impossible for it to survive at such a ti ;ure. The publisher believed that a first-class magazine at the low price of fcj. 40 w.. old be quickly appreciated wy the puMic. Hi* expectations have been more than fulfilled, and the December issue of the Cosmopolitan reached the 100.000 mark. With a view to the introduction of the Cosmopolitan to the reader* of thia journal, we propose to do even better than the very low price of the magance. To those who have never been aubscnb- er* to tbe Cosmopolitan, we will furnish The Advance and that magazine at for the two.
