An event in periodical literature. not without its significance to the general public as showing the growth of the reading classes. was the re- ceipt on the 9th of November by the Cosmopoli- tan Magazine of the order given below. A sing- le order from a news company for one hundred tons of magazines! That is almost an event in the history of the world. A like order has never before been made, and if past ratios be main- tained it means considerably more than half a million eirenlation for the December Cosmopoli- (tan. Yet, when the list of authors and artists in | the December number is examined. one is not so much surprised. It contains the only known unpublished manuseript of De Manpassant. il- lustrated by Vierge, perhaps the most famous of European illustrators; After the World's Fair. by Paul Bourget, John J. Ingalls, William Dean Howells, Lyman J. Gage, Arthur sherburne Hardy. Mark Twain, Robert Grant and others nearly as famous, and two hundred illustrations, to which the following artists contribute: Hop- kinsgon Smith, Kemble, Harry Fean. F. O, Small, Attwood, Henckel, Dan Beard, Reinhart and Remington. Think of having the World's Fair done by such expensive men as Howells, Mark Twain and Paul Bourget. and sending such ar- tists as Charles S. Reinhart to Chicago for a single number of a magazine to be sold for only 15 cents, or bv subseription 125 cents. A book publisher. preparing such a book would not dare ineur these expenses short of $5.00 a copy.
