Literary Note For October.

Marion Crawford, opens up a new line of thought in his article entitled “Rome, the Capital of a New Republic,” appearing in the October Cosmopolitan. It is not likely that the October number will have the success which attended that for September. The extraordinary spectacle was presented of a 124-cent magazjne selling for 50 and 75 cents, and many hundreds were even sold at $1 each. Probably the record remains without a parallel, in periodical sales, of a number proving so interesting that, after 211,000 copies had been sold, the News Company had orders for 50,000 more than they could supply, while dealers in various parts of the country, discovering the esteem in which the magazine was held, immediately raised their prices to double, treble, quadruple and in many cases to eight times the regular price. The publishers do not yet know what their real circulation is, owing to the limited capacity of their presses; but machinery is being out in place which will supply an edition for December exceeding 300,000, and during that month it will be possible to determine just how many Cosmopolitans the public will buy.

“I consider Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a specific for Croup. It is very pleasant to take, which is one of the most important requisites where a cough remedy is intended for use among children, I have known of cases of croup where I know the life of the little one was saved by the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.” J.
