Our American Magazines.
Quite within the memory of all readers to-day there is clearly recalled the
time when the province of a monthly magazine or a weekly periodical was
purely to entertain, or occasionally to enlighten the public on some more or
less abstruse scientific or semi-philosophical subject. As a medium for the
dissemination of high-class literature, of fine fiction and of the once omnipres
ent essay, there was nothing to equal the periodical publication. But the
American public need something more potent in the monthly magazine, and
although this need was scarcely recognized by the people at large, it was per
ceived and met by the editors of the popular magazine. By “popular” is
meant, in a great measure, the moderate priced magazine, and it is a signifi
cant fact that the ten-cent magazine undertook the first of a series of deeply
absorbing and deeply serious articles.
McCLURE’S.
This was “McClure’s,” published at ten cents, and the first of a large
number to follow’ the example of Frank A. Munsey in the matter of a popular
price. McClure’s was not doing as well financially as its management desired
—Munsey was outstripping it in the matter of circulation; at that time, too,
Munsey’s contained almost exclusively, a class of exceedingly light fiction.
Maybe that was the secret of its first success, but wisely enough McClure’s
did not follow the same beaten track made by Munsey and many contem
porary publications. A “Life of Lincoln” was begun in McClure’s by Miss Ida
Tarbell—a magnificent work and one which commanded the attention of the
world. Soon thereafter, the circulation of McClure’s began to increase with
marvellous rapidity, and when Miss Tarbell’s Standard Oil series began, the
entire reading world was waiting with eagerness for the months to pass which
would bring the great chapters of this “exposure” of unusual and nefarious
commercial methods. No great serial novel ever met with a more cordial re
ception by the general public, and the same may be said of Mr. Lincoln Stef
fen’s “Shame of the Cities,” which also appeared serially in McClure’s.
These were the beginnings of a great
REVOLUTION IN MAGAZINES.

Money!—Do You Want It?
So many are anxious to assist in mission
work, if they only had money, that I think
it my duty to give my experience, believ
ing it will not only add thousands of dol
lars to church funds, but also remove ti><‘
sting of poverty from many homos. 1 be
lieve any person who will try, can make
from $5 to $8 a day selling medicat 'i
gloves. They are wonderful sellers. So
cheap, only 30 cents a pair: so durable
and you cannot have sore Iv.nds if you
wear them. Nearly everyone buys them,
and a girl or boy will sell as many as a
woman or man. Tell people you will giv«
1-4 of your profits (or whatever share you
can afford,) to church work, and many will
buy. who would not otherwise, so you
would make more than you would if you
did not donate to the church. God blesses
those who work and also give. Address
the Common Sense Mfg. Co., St. Louis.
Mo., Dept. 151. and obtain particulars of
medicated gloves and how to sell them, at
home, or by canvassing. 1 hope some <■
in every congregation in our church will
take up this work and give part of their
profits to our missions. You do not have
to canvass. When you can make $5 or
a day, at home, why should anyone be
poor?
