A Hundred Ton Magazine Order.
An event If! periodical literature, not
without its slgnltlcance to the general
public as showing the growth of the
reading classes, was the receipt on the
llth of November by The Cosmopolitan
Mngazlne of the order given below. A
single order from a news company
for one hundred tons of magnzlnes!
That is almost an event in the history
of the world. A like order has never
before been made, and If past ratios be
maintained it means considerably more
than half a million circulation for the
December Cosmopolitan. Yet, when
the list of authors and artists In the Dec
ember number is examined, one is not
so much surprised. It contains the
only known unpublished manuscript of
De Maupassant, Illustrated by Vierge,
perhaps the most famous of European
Illustrators; After the World s Fair, by
Paul Bourget, John J. Ingalls, William
Dean Ilowells, Lyman J. Gage, Arthur
Sherburne Hardy, Mark Twain, Robert
Grunt and others nearly as famous, and
nearly two hundred Illustrations, to
which the following artists contribute:
Hopklnson Smith, Kemble, Harry Eenn
I'. O. Small, Attwood, Henckel, Dan
Heard, Keinhirt and Remington.
Think of having the World's Fair done
by such expensive men ns Howell?,
Mark Twain and Paul Bourget, and
sending such artists as Chnrles S. Rcin-
hnrt to Chicago for a single number of a
magazine to be sold for only IB cents, or
I by subscription 12 1-2 cents. A book
publisher, preparing such a book would
not dare incur these expenses short of
$6.0<)a fcopy. is It not a revolution that
is an improvement upon old methods a
revolution of vast Importance to the
reading public? The order to which re-
ference is made reads as follows:
"Publisher Cosmopolitan. Dear Sir:
Of the 200,000 copies of December num-
ber to bo sent us, please send as follows.
172,650 copies regular edition, 27,250
copies R. R. edition, Yours respect

I'K-
Oklahoma must have statehood.
Single or double, It Is a necessity the
people generally do not care to longer
be without.
Even the farmers rcallz • that a town
the size of Norman should have water
works. Of course it should and Nor-
man will yet have a system to be proud
of.
1 hamp, tramp, for Kansas, cheer up
I.('Welling, they will come, and beneath
the kitchen grating, they will ever be in
waiting, and they'll never have to work
the streets again.
The Transcript wrote a nice little
"piece" about Gov. Seay and Sid
Clarke being hitched together to the
Statehood wagon, but the Kingfisher
e Press had to go and spoil the
ale effect. We will get even with
1 yet, Mr. Admire.
A Washington dispatch of the 20th
says:—Gen. Wheeler, chairman of the
committee on territories, reported a bill
to-day to admit Oklahoma territory as a
state. The bill does not include the
Indian territory, but is for Oklahoma
as the boundary now exists.
A van who holds office under demo-
cratic rule is always in hot water. There
is so many hungry devils, and they are
^1 ways kicking, too, that the lucky—or
unlucky chap, catches it from all sides.
If he does right they swear he is a re-
publican and if lie does wrong they
awesr he is trying to steal the govern-
ment funds. A Democrat office holder
reminds us of 11 foot-ball kicked first
from one side of the land to another.
hAV, John Allan, you make us ex-
exceedingly wenrv when you say the
jirtners of Cleveland county are not
•perotts. They may not be borrow-
Ig as much money from you as you
■euld like: but the fact is, they do not
lave to borrow money when they have)
lenty themselvi... And If they har-
Tst plenty this year It Is not the fault
ltiif Republican or Democratic party. I
Hey have received a fair price for
nearly all they had to sell, and, have
raised good crops wherever the soil has
been properly cultivated. Of course,
it is your bu-iness to make the farmer
feel as poor as possible, otherwise your
party and your theory would fall to
pieces and you would be out of a job, I
A III Lobster l'ound.
There is a lobster farm, or pound, as It
is called, 13 acres in extent at Southport,
Me. This pound is the most successful
on the coast, whence 1,000,000 lobsters
are shipped each year. The pound is
formed by building a solid dam across a
tidewater cove. This dam does not quite
rise to high watermark, but across the
top is placed a fence of iron rods, per-
mitting a daily change of water and pre-
venting the lobsters from escaping. In
the spring and fall business is most brisk.
When the fishermen bring the lobsters
to the pound, the ••fish," as they are
called, are hoisted to the dam, measured,
auil those which are more than 10}
inches long, the legal limit,are thrown in.
If a lobster is clever, his life in the pound
may be long and full of joy. If he is
stupid, he will be fished, out with a drag
seine and packed in a barrel, with a piece
of ice for a pillow, and sent to Boston.
The seine is made of stout twine and is
weighted at the bottom with a heavy
chain. Along the top is a row of corks,
which sustain the weight of the seine
while the chain drags on the bottom of
the pound.
A single cast of this seine will bring
up lobsters enough to fill 11 barrels. The
chain as it sweeps along the bottom stirs
up the lobsters, which immediately shoot
backward into the slack twine In tak
ing them out the men wear heavy mit-
tens, though even then they are often
nipped. In the pound the lobsters are
fed on salt herring, meu rowing about
in skiffs and pitching the herring over-
board. This is . .Ued-feeding the chick-
ens," and it takes about six barrels to
mike a light luncheon for the flock.

While discussing the matter of the
troubles and trials of banking business
of today President James Espy of the
Ohio Valley National bank said to a
group of friends: "I tell you that we do
not know anything about the peculiari-
ties of the banking business. I have
heard officials of the bank when I was bo-
ginning in the business rehearse the expe-
riences in early banking in Virginia. As
is well known, the residents of that state
were not much given to business tactics.
Whenever they had occasion to issue a
note, and it was quite frequent, the bank
officials had to drive around to the vari
ous farms, or to the place where the
maker lived, and it was quite difficult to
get them to sign the original, but much j
more so a renewal. Experts got so they |
could tell whether the uote was renewed j
in the house or in the field, as they could
tell whether it was written on the pom-!
mel of a saddle or at a regular desk."— i
Cincinnati Enquirer.
I lie management and editors have had inanv vears
of successful experience with this class of papers

of the great industrial clase to which it is devoted,

F"v l"r Proving u Diamond.
It is an easy matter to detect the dif-
ference between a genuine diamond and j
an imitation. Take a tube of filtered '
water and diop the stone therein. If it
is paste, it can be seen as it passes through I
the water, but if pure the eye is unable j
to see it at all. Another test is to place'
the stone upon a pencil dot made on a
piece of white paper. If the dot is du-j
plicated upon the facets you can rest as-
sured that the stone is a fraud, but if
not it is a good stone. The common be-
lief that a stone can be tested by filing is
erroneous, for the best diamond ever cut
will splinter and break when rasped with 1
this instrument.—St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
