Of the eight magazines whose percentage of distinctive stories has led,_ Scribner’s Magazine _has maintained the highest average of distinction. Below follow the percentages of these eight magazines:_
1. Scribner’s Magazine .....76.5% 2. Century Magazine .....74.8 3. Harper’s Magazine .....70.3 4. Bellman .....70.0 5. Metropolitan Magazine .....48.5 6. American Magazine .....45.0 7. Everybody’s Magazine .....44.3 8. Pictorial Review .....43.8

1. Harper’s Magazine .....232 2. Saturday Evening Post .....183 3. Collier’s Weekly .....178 4. Scribner’s Magazine .....166 5. Century Magazine .....151
