thing upon the tree that seems to en- 
gage its attention.” 
On January, 1876, the subscription 
was reduced to 40 cents, and raised to 
60 cents at the beginning of volume 
IV. With the November, 1879, issue, 
Jos. M. Wade undertook its publica- 
tion, S. L. Willard becoming assistant 
editor, and the last eight numbers 
were issued from the office of a reg- 
ular printer, with Rockville, Conn., as 
the place of publication. The five vol- 
umes required just six years to pub- 
lish. This little magazine, though of- 
ten quoted, is quite scarce. I know of 
only two or three complete sets in ex- 
istence, one set collected recently, af- 
ter much personal energy, advertising 
and correspondence, represented an 
outlay of almost $50 in cash. The first 
three volumes are, of course, the scar- 
cest: worth from $10 to $15 each. The 
privilege of examining a complete file 
I owe to Mr. R. M. Barnes. 
Probably the bulk of the con- 
tributions should be accredited 
to the editors. Among the most 
prominent or prolific are: W. T. 
Allen, Dr. H. A. Atkins, W. Hi. Bal- 
lou, T. M. Brewer, G. A. Boardman, 
A. W. Butler, C. E. Cole, W. H. Col-
