Lippincott's Magazine for January, 1C93-
The complete novtl in the January
issue of Lippintotfs is "John Olni
stead's Nephew," by Henry Willard
French. A hurried marriage is neces
sary to secure some solid interests and
defeat an enemy, and thereon hangs a
romance.
"Christmas Gold," a tale of Austra
lia, by Owen Hall, and "Christinas
Kve at Bilger's," which was in a west
ern mining camp, by Frank H. Sweet,
celebrate the season. Why should
Christmas stories appear a month
ahead of Christmas ? These are just
in time.
Philip G. Hubert, Jr. tells at some
length, but in a lively way, of "A
Detective who Detected." He was a
newspaper man ; it was a literary
crime that he was set to detect, and
while on the trail of it he found some
thing else.
"Canuck and Raoul" were a Cana
dian boy and a horse, between whom
a strong affection existed. Elizabeth
Knowlton Carter is the narrator.
Calvin Dill Wilson writes pleasantly
of a subject which he knows by heart,
"The Eastern Shore of Maryland."
"Irrigation from Under Ground," by
John E. Bennett, takes the reader to
the other end of the United States,
and gives much unfamiliar informa
tion about the arid regions, and how
they may be made habitable and
fertile.
Among "Some Botanic Gardens,"
-George Ethelbert Walsh finds those
of London and Paris most important,
but gives brief mention to others in
various parts of the world.
George Archie Stockwell seems to
prove that the belief in "Wolf-Children,"
from Romulus and Remus on,
is something more than a superstition.
Oscar Herzberg finds a good deal to
say about "Druggists, Ancient and
Modern."
Under the heading, "To day in the
Bible," William Cecil Elam collects
many familiar expressions, strokes of
humor, observations and reflections on
life and human nature, sharply point
ed sayings, and what not, which people
often use without knowing their origin.
The old chronicler, "Froissart," is
affectionately handled by Emily Stone
Whiteley.

OMi: OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment cf otner diseases.
chief cause.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidnev. and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and

The Ladies' Home Journal Tor 1898-
To make The Ladies' Home Journal
for 1898 "the best of all the years; the
most cheerful and helpful magazine
that a woman can possibly have in
her home," is the purpose of its editors,
as disclosed by a prospectus outlining
a few of the projected features for the
coming year. While the Journal will
be more useful and practical than ever
before, it is made apparent that its
literary features will be strengthened,
and that pictorially it will be more
attractive and artistic than ever.
A notable feature, "The Inner
Experiences of a Cabinet Member's
Wife," a series of letters from the wife
ol a Cabinet member to his sister, will,
it is said, reveal some startling and
graphic pen-pictures of Washington
social and official life. They are so
realistic that the letters w'll be pub
lished anonymously and are likely to
attract National attention. The bio
graphies of President Mclvinley, Mrs.
Cleveland, Mark Twain, Thomas A.
Edison, and Joseph Jefferson will be
presented in a novel way by a series
of anecdotes, giving the vital char
acteristics of each. Rev. John Watson,
I). D. ("Ian Maclaren"), will contri
bute a series of articles on matters
close to the interest of every man and
woman ; Edward W. Bok will have a
special page for young men, in addi
tion to his usual editorial discussions ;
Lilian Bell will continue her bright,
crisp fetters from European capitals ;
Mrs. Burton Harrison will describe
society at the beginning ol the cen
tury, and ex-Tresiilent Harrison is to
write on "The Flag in the Houn."
Two fiction issues, in all over thirty
short stories, are promised during the
year. The stories will De by Mark
Twain, F. Marion Crawford, Hamlin
Garland, Mary E. Wilkins, Julia
Magruder, Clara Morris, Mrs. A. I).
T. Whitney and other well-known
authors.
The musical announcements for
next year include Sousa's newest com
position, "The Lady of the White
House," dedicated by special permis
sion to Mrs. McKinley ; sacred songs
and hymns by Fanny Crosby, the
blind hymn-writer; Ira D. Sankey,
and others quite as prominent in their
respective fields.
"Inside ot a Hundred Homes" will
be continued and supplemented by
other articles upon fitting, furnishing
and beautifying the home : and in
addition to the Journal' s "Moderate
Cost Houses," churches, schools, farm
buildings, etc., will be given with de
tailed plans and specifications.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, it is announced,
will continue to write exclusively for
the Journal. In addition to her
"Cooking Lessons" she will write of
foods, their value and their healthful
ness. Special articles for children
young and middle grown on needle
work, fashions, home entertainments,
church work, etc., are all promised.

THE QKbAT PREsS ALMANAO.
An Encyclopedia ot Useful Information Which
Everybody Should Have.
The Pniladelphia "Press" Almanac ;
for 1898 is not only worthy of the ,
great newspaper whose name it bears, '
but is fully the equal in most respects,
and in some the superior, of the nation's
foremost almanac publications. It is a
well printed volume of over 500
pages, and contains information on
all topics which the student, the pro
fessional man, or the workman can
possibly desire to consult. It will be
especially interesting, because of its
local statistics, to every resident of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland. Special attention has
been given to matters of vital import
ance to the farming and agricultural
interests. The Philadelphia "Press"
Almanac is, in brief, a comprehensive
and exact supplement to the great
encyclopaedias and dictionaries of the
country, bringing their wealth of in
formation up to date. It will answer
any question in the scope of an al
manac, which may be placed before
it. Its low price, 25 cents, renders it
indispensable to all.

A Good Dictionary for Two Oents.
A dictionary containing the defini
tions of 10,000 of the most useful and
important words in the English lang
uage, is published by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
While it contains some advertising, it
is a complete dictionary, concise and
correct.
In compiling this book care has
been taken to omit none of those
common words whose spelling or
exact use occasions at times a momen
tary difficulty, even to well educated
people. The main aim has been to
give as much useful information as
possible in a limited space. With
this in view, where noun, adjective
and verb are all obviously connected
in meaning, usually one only has been
inserted. The volume will thus be
found to contain the meaning of very
many more words than it professes to
explain.
To those who already have a die
tionary, this book will commend itself
because it is compact, light and con
venient ; to those who have no die
tionary whatever, it will be invaluable.
One may be secured by writing to the
above concern, mentioning this paper,
and enclosing a two-cent stamp.
