of Longfellow's most charming poem, 

 • : ' Evangeline." Upon examination, 

 the hook proves so delightful in every 

 way that we believe it will be a favor 

 to our readers to refer to it again. It 

 is handsomely illustrated, mainly by 

 Kirket Poster, one of the most famous 

 of English artists, and bound in ex- 

 quisite taste in a combination of white 

 and blue cloth, with gilt edges and 

 ornaments, ami is sold only by the 

 publisher direct (not by bookseller.-), 

 at approximately the actual cost of 

 manufacture by the hundred thou- 

 sand — 19 cents a copy, plus 6 cents 

 postage, if by mail. His object is to 

 place an example of his book-making 

 in the hands of a vast number of 

 readers. He could certainly choose 

 no more excellent a volume to please 

 .■all people of good taste. His cata- 

 logue of books, covering every de- 

 partment of literature, a veritable 

 feast of good things for book-lovers, 

 and at wonderfully low prices, con- 

 siderably over 100 pages in size, is 

 sent post-paid for 2 cents. Address, 

 John B Alden, Publisher, 57 Rose 

 St., New York. 



Very well informed people have 

 but little conception of the ten great 

 railways, whose net work of rails cov- 

 ers the United States — several of 

 them have a length of more than ten 

 thousand miles each. How these sys- 

 tems came to exist in their present 

 vast dimensions, the territory which 

 ithey cover, the causes which have led 

 to their development, and their fu- 

 ture possibilities and probabilities, 

 form the subject of a series of papers 

 which will appear in the Cosmopolitan 

 Magazine. The first of this series is 

 iby President Plant, the head of the 



extensive system of Railways and 

 Steamers, and appears in the October 

 issue of the ( osmopolitav covering the 



system of railway-- east of the Alle- 

 ghanies and south of the Potomac.

A sure indication of the poor honey 

 season of 1892 is shown in the com- 

 paratively few advertisements vhich 

 appear in the different Bee magazines 

 at the present time. We think it very 

 poor policy, however, for any adver- 

 tiser to stop advertising owing to dull 

 sea-on, for if he does he only invites 

 dullness to continue with him. By the 

 way, we note that several of the bee 

 magazines are so short of advertise- 

 ments that they are accepting patent 

 medicine ad.-, fake puzzle ads, etc We 

 have made it a rule never to publish 

 such, and our legitimate advertisers 

 are benefited thereby.
