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. H. Bal- 

 lou, T. M. Brewer, G. A. Boardman, 

 A. W. Butler, C. E. Cole, W. H. Col- 

 lins, A. Covart, W. Couper, F. J. Davis,
