Wo have a prlmer A Modern Wonder which sets forth with singular fulness and brevity what is going to be ,In Wide Awake for a year ahead. The primer is not very long. The little pages are easy to read. But It holds such wealth of learning and en­ tertainment, you wonder how so much ean be got into a dozen months; and yet you read on the title page cb*t the half is not rbld. It to a wonder! Wide Awake Is a veritable library, changing from month to month and from year to year and always growing bettor apparently. But what we can't understand is how they can put so much money into it and pay so much for getting sub­ scribers. Tbe Holiday number contains .the premium list of 32 pages, Tiiey give a boy or girl who gets subscrii>ers al­ most as much In his choice of two or three hundred things as the money he sends amounts to! And the things are such as people want; a good many of them new to most of us. Even the premium list is good reading. Where the profit comes from out of 92.40 a year Is what we can't make out; but that is none of our business. Send for the primer to D.

Is not tho fact. Ninety-one Maps containing nearly every geographloal point of interest throughout the world, are given, and each is a gem of the engraver's art. Delicately yet distinctly colored, them maps are exquisite illustrations of the best color printing to day obtainable. While the Maps leave nothing to be desired by way of fullness, they are fully up to date, and show every recent discovery or change of boundary. One Lundred and twelve pages of terse, well arranged, and accurate in­ formation concerning every important country or state on the globe, follow the maps in this compact volume. In fact, the book is not only a compre­ hensive Atlas, but also a condensed Gazetteer of the whole world, and all put in an attractive and substantia] binding, and sold for fifty cents. On the receipt of this sum the publishers mail It to anv address. :k ;;|i Carter Harrison was fond of ] noting the favorite remark of a one lme Kentucky Governor: "When -things are bad they stay bad; whet they get d--d bad the people get up | •»nd fix them." This was probably why tbo people of Chicago dismissed (Carter from their service last spring. As a result things have been improv­ ing steadily ever since. A Decision was rendered Monday by tbe United States Supreme Court, de­ claring that the Kansas prohibition law Is valid, ihe court also declared In the case of tho Virginia common­ wealth attorneys, Scott and McCabe, Imprisoned for contempt by United ^States Judge Bond, that the latter Jacted without constitutional warrant nnd ordered that tbe man be at once pleased. Wotklnpnin and Anarchy. It te gratifying to note that tbe .gnat mass of workingmen have no sympathy with Anarchism. Tbe few blatant Anarchists in the large cities have tried very hard to represent their jCause as the cause of labor, and have seemed mnch more numerous than they really were, on acoount of the noise they have made. The expres­ sion of opinion have come \mainly from the Aaarchlsts. Decent people have not thought It necessary to deny H'that they are Anarchists, any mote ^ than to deny that they are thieves or liars. en there has been an iulon by any genuine •F-RT KM UEVII KB Is week, when the Master Powderly was unanimously indorsed by a mass meet­ ing of the Knights of (Labor, with ^ particular reference to this condemna- zt-'tien of anarchy.

Orange Judd, #ho has for a third of a century, or more, been constantly bringing out something new and valuable, has just devised a novel plan whluh will be highly ap­ preciated by all readers of the^Journal which he now Edits, viz.: The Prairie farmer of Chicago.--Recognizing the great liability of all people, and es­ pecially farmers, to severe accident the Publishers have made a "lumping job" of enrolling all the subscriber? of the Prairie Farmer as "Members" of a first rate Accident Insuance Company, and tho Publishers themselves pay into th9 Insurance Company a suffi­ cient sua to entitle all subscribers desiring It to receive a Policy of Insurance, securing to each one hundred dollars. In case of loss of life or limbs by accident. The Policy Is paid up in full for one year, and Is non­ assessable. The subscriber simply pays the regular subscription rate of $1,50 a year, adding 20 cents for tbe expense of preparing, executing and delivering the policy,--Tho Prairie Farmer alone is a very valuable paper and cheap, insurance or no insurance.

GRANGER, Auct'r. Xlilt WBW FRENCH PRESIDENT. For tbe tine being Franco has re­ gained her composure--that Is, as IpS&^tnucb composure as that fidgety nation ^ ' ever possesses. It became possible to unite on Sadi-Carnot as Grevy's suc- ^ _ -cesser to the Presidency chiefly be- cause the former had in the coarse of a ] rather colorless career contrived to | rsteer clear of collisions with either of ^ the warring factions which keep ^ " French politics In a state which no­ body outside of France can understand. In this faculty of avoiding rows lay the strength of Carnot as a candidate. I The forces of Ferry & DeFreyclnet iV> *' were the irreconcltables In the case, and between the two a rank outsider i slipped in and captured the prize. What kind of a president Carnot will make or what kind of a govern ment he will be able to organize is beyond guessing, as his past record furnishes no clue. He starts out with .the advantage of being comparatively free from political entanglements and complications, and with no "bad eggs' in tbe shape ot present son-in-law or former mistress to create an unpleas­ ant odot in his administration, and with these exemptions In his favor he ought to be able to keep oat of trouble long enough at least to draw tbe first installment of his comfortable salary.
