Ia many respects parallel with Pro
fessor Hryce's ooncludins paper on
South Africa, which appears in this
month's Century, is V. Nephew King's
paper in the same Issue on Venezuela
and Guiana. These two articles, to
gether with Marlon Crawford's lumin
ous description of 8t Peter's and the
opening; chapters of a verltlstlc novel
ette of Saratoga by William U Howells,
are tha more prominent features of the
July Century, whirh is, however, a
number of unusual mprlL
II II I1
Of the elevr-n papers in the Forum for
this month It Is probable that four will
attract greatest attention. One of these
Is Paul Lroy-Hoau!lt'ii s "The l'res!
dentlal Outlook as Europeans View It,"
a paper eulogizing low tariffs and the
Bold standard: another Is President
Kllot's "Reasons for an Immediate Ar
titration Treaty with Kngland;" a third
is Plofossor PVabudy's discussion of
various "Substitutes fur the Saloon:
and the last is tioMwIn Smith's reply to
the question "Is Thre Another LfreV
Each of these four papers is instructive
to an unusual degree.

Chap-Book for July 1 is a regular
hummer." if we may be pardoned the
colloquialism. First, Its cover design
is the neatest thing yet put forth by It
the figure of a sitting woman. In white,
green and black. Then there are poems
by Edmund Clarence Stedmaii, Etliel
wyn Weltherald, Dayton Brewer and
John Davidson the last a specially no
table "New Hnllad of Tannhaeuser."
Besides, Maurice Thompson contributes
a readable essay on "The Art of Saying

The Cosmopolitan for July is adver
ted as a fiction and trnvel number, but
the articles in It that Interest us most
come under neither head. They arc
Hobart C. Taylor's study of tho mod
ern Spaniard; James B. Pond'3 recollec
tions of the great orators of the lyceum
days and Editor Urisben Walker's
paper on "Aerial Athletes and the Com
ing Race." Still, the Action in this
month's Cosmopolitan is good.

"His Lordship," Mrs. Burton Har
rison's charming novelette describing
how a wealthy Chicago girl retaliated
on a titled Anglican fortune hunter, is
the chief content of tho July Pocket

as conspicuous an attraction.

In the July Issue of the Looker-On
appears the first of a series of Illustrat
ed papers by Professor Hallock and Dr.
Muekey on Voice Production, being the
result of successful attempts by these
experts to photograph the human voice
In action. The next paper In the series
will appear in the September issue.
This series of articles should be read
with care by all teachers and students
of vocal music.

The chatty quality and piquant per

Godey's fur July runs largely to sum
mertime fiction, a fact not strange when
one observes the breeiy summer girl
enshrined on the front cover. But there
are other good things in It, especially
Rufus It. Wilson's description of the
workings of the New York fire depart
ment, Arthur Hornblow's study of the
silk industry In Japan; Mary C. Fran
els' sketch of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and the two papers on musical themes,
one giving anecdotes of the century's
great lingers and the other sketching
the origlu and growth of the Manu
script society of New York. In fact,
this Is the best Issue of Godey's we have
seen In years.
MISCELLANEOUS.
We have- heretofore colled attention
to th. unique merits of Alden's Living
Topics encyclopedia, which gives the
most Important facts concerning all up
to date subjects. Volume three of this
welcome publication has been received.
It treats, among other subjects, of
Cuba, Currency, Debts, national and
fi;rpien, East Afrlcn, Egypt, Electric
ity, Knglnnd, Engineering, France, Her
man Empire, Gold, Greece, also the
slates Delaware, Florida and Georgia
In general, the object of the work Is t
answer the questions you would seek
to solve by consulting your cyclopedia,
were it "up to date," which no cyclo
pedia Is or possibly can be, because of
its magnitude ami cost. Being a small
work, and treating only of "living"
topics. It Is continually In process of re
vision, a new edition being published
every month. Tho cost Is only a few
cents a volume and the "benefits to one
who has need of live information are
incalculable. (New York: John B. Al
den, 10 & 12 Vandewuter St.)

The Applctons have Just added to
their Library of Useful Stories a volume
which should be of special Interest in
Scranlan. It is the "Story of a Piece
of Coal" what it Is, whence It comes
and whither it goes. Its author is an
Englishman, Edward A. Martin, but the
American edition has been "American
ized" In certain places and Is upon tho
whole a most fascinating study In popu
lar vein of a subject concerning which
no person should remain Ignorant.

I. Marie Louise Pool.
When Miss Pool was asked for a few
biographical Items Bhe said: "Don't tell
almost-the only thing anyone wants to
know about a woman, and that Is her
age alas, my picture will betray that!
But I am willing to acknowledge that
I was born In one of those 'gray cabins'
of New England about which an author
wrote a short time ago at least, the
house is nearly enough like a gray cab
in, except that it was not so desolate,
nor was it so removed from the pulse
of the world that Its Inhabitants could
not feel that pulse beating. But then
we were only eighteen miles from Bos
ton, and a spoke of the Hub radiates
that distance, surely." This old building
In whose shadow Miss Pool now lives.
In a new house, is in Rockland, Massa
chusetts. This village was formerly a
part of Abington and known as East
Ablngton. It Is a "shoe town" and
much like other villages In Plymouth
county. Perhaps It was the atmos
phere of the Old Colony, or the good old
Puritan, blood In the Pools and the
Lanes; at any rate the Pools and the
Lanes have always known their own
minds and, as someone says of them,
"have always had minds to know."
I! II il
Miss Pool was taught In the East
Ablngton schools and grew up with the
expectation of becoming a teacher, but
one year was all she gave to this occu
pation, Its exactions being too trying
for tho delicate, nervous girl.. Though
she says she always had a "scribbling
tendency," it was not until about ten
years ago thnt she began to write tne
Ransom sketches for the New York
Tribune and some travel letters for tne
Evening Post. She spent several sea
sons In the South and among the Caro
lina mountains. In the latter country
she found her suggestions for her nov
els "Dally" and "Against Human Na
ture." Her keen sense of humor Is vis
ible In everything she writes, and her
pathos Is true and touching. From
"Dally" to "In a Dike Shanty" her
audience has steadily Increased. As to
her own Individuality and taste, they
can be guessed at truly from her writ
ings. She Is not given to a love of
what Is called society, but Is a sincere
lover of the country, of horses and
dogs: taking driving trips among the
New England mountains. "A Vacation
In a Buggy" Is a description of one of
these journeys. A friend, a dog, a
Texas saddle-pony, a long day among
country cart-paths that is Miss Pool's
Idea of happy recreation. In winter a

She does her work In the morning,
like so many writers In these days,
spending two or three hours at her desk
with twelve or fifteen hundred words as
the result. Look upon her den some
morning. There are pictures of dogs
on the wall: on the corner of a lounge
is curled a King Charles spaniel, whose
air of proprietorship can not be mis
taken. "Cats?" She says: "I never
have cared for cats since as a child I
was made to believe that they would
suck the breath of sleeping children. 1
cherish a grudge to this day against the
person who told such a tale to a fanci
ful child. Not that I expected our
Maltese to suck my breath. Oh, no. I
could take care of myself, asleep or
awake, but from the moment I knew
that feline proclivity I suffered tortures
lest the cat should get to my little sis
ter, five year my Junior. I never told
anyone why I behaved so about kitty,
but I kept her shut under the sink
among the kettles while I washed
dishes. I had a cat-proof place In the
burn where I imprisoned her or I sat
with her on my lap. I always knew
where she was; only thus could I be
sure that she could not get to my sis
ter when she had gone to bed or when
she had her dally nap. I thus acquired
reputation as a lover of cats; but I
didn't love them, I was only afraid.
"Adventures? Oh, yes, I had lots of
adventures when I was a child, chielly
peituinnlg to carving-knives, swords,
and pistols. Once when my father and
mother failed to come from a visit at
dusk I, being left alone, grew too fright
ened to stay there. I took the long,
pointed carving-knife and put It Into
iny pocket AS far as it would go, locked
the house, and started on a run down
the hill to Uncle Isaiah's. I shudder
now to think of the possibilities of that
run. How the big knife Happed against
my leg! But the funny part was that
I felt protected. I saw a man coming,
and I hid behind the sycamores and
drew my knife; but the man went on
without attacking me fortunately for
him. Not until Just now have I con
fessed to this secreting of arms. When
my father searched the neighborhood
on his return he never guessed about
that knife, and mother never knew
what made that curious "hole in my
pocket; she said It seemed to have been
made by a sharp Instrument. Was
there ever a fanciful child who was not
secretive? I was silent so silent save
to my little sister. The carving fork
had a snapping bit of steel on it that
was my pistol, and the snap was my
trigger. I've shot a great many people
dead with that. And I taught my sister
to play with swords made of laths.
When we fought with these, three
strokes on the petticoats caused one to
fall, slain on the field of battle. I can't
tell why I was so sanguinary; I hated
the sight of blood. But even at this
day I like pistols and have a loaded re
volver under my bed."
It Is Mlsa Pool's long residence in
Wrentham, Mass., that enabled her to
draw with such accuracy the portraits
of the ordinary man and woman of the
New England country. In that old-
fashioned farming town she led the life
that best suited her. This town has
many times been Instanced as a typloal
New England settlement. While it
contains people of the finest culture,
girls like "Roweny," It also contains
those whose vernacular Miss Pool has
used as one who has always heard It.
This author spent the winters of sev
eral years in Brooklyn, going from
that city to establish a home In Wren
tham, where It was an easy thing to
live out-of-doors In the summer, among
the hills of that lovely country. Noth

Time hung heavily on the correspon
dents stationed at El Paso during the
long days that proceeded the 30 seconds
of Fitzsimmons and Muher. There was
little to entertain. There was no killing
such as had been expected In a Texas
town, the bullfights were provocative
more disgust than excitement, and
everyone was weary. It was a Chicago
man who awoke the saddened
party. It was the custom of
the writers to gather nightly at
"The Rose of Texas" and fall asleep
playing tho harmless game of hearts
and cursing the situation. One night
the Chicago correspondent borrowed a
room adjoining that In which the news
paper crowd congregated, and Into it
introduced two of his friends and also
two giant firecrackers. The two men
began the ostensible game of poker.
The partitions were half way to
the celling only, and the progress of the
game could be followed by those In the
udjacent apartment.
"You had six cards, you tarantula of
tho Mojave desert," Bald one tiucul
ently. "Your're a liar, an' I can make you
like it," replied the other. "Don't pull
a gun on me "
The giant crackers went off like a pair
of ten-ounce blasts In a stone quarry.
Not a newspaper correspondent was to
be found when the smoke settled. Not
one but "Denver" Smith, the New York
sporting writer, who had become Involv
ed with the legs of his chair and those
of the table, when he started to run.
Smith and the Inventor cf the entertain
ment were all that represented the press
on the scene. The other 40 were across
the Rio Gtande running like frightened
coyotes.

Don't let anybody whtedle you Into
using salt or your carpets to help clean
them when you are sweeping. The salt
particles hide In the threads of the car
pet and on dump days they dissolve and
become sticky, then they sink into the

your carpet If you use salt.
You can make a nice bath cloth out of
a piece of coarse crash toweling. Make
a bag eight Inches square, and run a

Iron Is a food element absolutely es
sential to the proper constitution of the
body. It is as rigidly demanded by the
plant as by the animnl, and It is from
plants that we should chielly receive
our iron supply. Spinach contains more
Iron than the yolk of eggs, and the yolk
has more than beef.
A prominent London physician nd
vlses hair-cutting on the theory that the
tube which Is contained In each single
hair Is severed In the process and the
brain "bleeds." as the barbers say,
thereby opening a safety valve for the
congested crunlum.
The excessive use of salt Is a most
common dietetic error, and yet one
wnicn, curiously, is seldom referred to by
writers upon dietetics. The conclu
sion drawn from observations made by
Boussingault, Is that the use of chloride
of sodium, or common salt, by human
beings is rather a matter of habit than
of necessity. Nature having probably
exhibited the same wisdom In regard to
the amount uf chlorldo of sodium
placed. In ourfood us .. with refer
ence to the other salts required by the
system.
Paste for attaching paper to glass
Flour, 2 tablespoonfuls; water, 4 ounces:
potassium bichromate, 5 giains. The
flour must be rubbed to a smooth paste
with the water, then placed In a sauce
pan over the Hie. and kept stirred until
It bolls. Add the bichromate -dowly,
stirring all the time: then stand to cool.
The paste must be kept In the dark, and
used as soon as possible. Soak the pa
per In It, and attach to the glass, then
place In direct sunlight for a day. This
sets up a chemical change In the bi
chromate, and renders the paste Insol
uble. Dr. Burns says that manyof the bron
chial affections, colds In the head, etc.,
that sometimes proves fatal to little
babies are often due to Improper or
careless bathing. The baby should be
at least a month old before It Is plunged
Into water. The llrst bath should be
given with the child between the folds
of a blunket, washing one part at a
time and immediately drying that part.
Where there is sebaceous or cheese-like
matter adhering to the skin, rub with
vaseline or olive oil and wash with warm
water and a little soap. After the bath
thu baby should be lightly powdered,
especially under the arms or wherever
folds of sktn come In contact.
Great care must be exercised In wash
ing glass ornamented with gold. Use
only castil'i soap and do not have tho
gilds strong. Wash one piece at a time
and wipe Immediately.
If you have butter that Is not entirely
sweet, put it In a porcelain dish with a
little salt and a tiny piece of soda, place
over a file and bring to u. boil. Turn
It Into a stone jar and set it In a cool
place. The butter will be found per
fectly sweet and not too salt for cook
ing. The Impurities will settle to the
bottom of the Jar.
When it Is possible expose every
closet and food receptacle to the sun and
nir several times a week.
There is no better way of cooking
meat which Is tough than by braising.
The mea: should be shut In a closely
covered pot with a few pieces of da It
pork laid under it. A mixture of vege
tables cut Into dice should be added: al
so a little soup stock and a bouquet of
herbs. Then It should all be cooked
slowly in the confined steam.
When a thlckenlns Is desired for a
clear soup try pearl tapioca. Let it boil
to clearness, then add to the soun.
Don't throw away stale cake. In an
emergency it may be made Into a good
dessert. Moisten the pieces of cake with
sherry and then pour over them a well
made custard.
Simmered together, rice, flour and
water make a good cement.
Make your knife cases of flannel,
stitching it into compartments.
Add a little gum arable to boiled
starch, which will give it a lustre.
To Restore Velvet. Put a hot Iron
bottom upward with a wet towel folded
in several thicknesses over It and then
passing the velvet with the pile up over
It slowly back and forth until the
steam has lifted the pile to Its proper
position. When dry it will be like new.
If there are grease spots on It remove
with buckwheat flour before renovati

tains should never be Ironed. Wash

Rheumatism that Cracked

The Most Wonderful Cure from this Disease
in Modem Medical Annals.
Is There Anything to Compare in Misery and
Suffering With It.
Prom the Chronicle, Chicago, 11U
It wii four years ago next month that
Mrs. M. M. Jfovt, who livn at 2I2! Went
worth Avenue, came to Cliienjro. She was
st that time bcd-riilden, snnVrina from in
flaminatory rheumatism nud pot able to
raise her feet from the floor. One of the
best physicians in Chicago treated her here
three weeks but was unable to effect even
relief, lie gave up ber case, believing
nothing could be done for her and that she
hid but a few days to live.
In speaking of her tuifcrings nm! the re
lief and permanent cure eflectcd later she
snvs: "when I was nve years old I was
taken down with Intluiiiinutory rheumatism,
but after a comparatively short time it pass
ed oil", and 1 was free from all its symptom
until t was fourteen years out. I hen i had
iinntiter attack, of which 1 wns cured, and
did not have a sick dny uutil four years uyo
itmuiia niiernonn iy.'z.
"1 had lived twenty-six years iu Lulling
ton, Mivhiunii, ami fourteen years in Man
istee, Miciiigui, both towns lieini; situated
on the lake. " The weatlier in both places it
even mors damp, more raw and in winter
colder than it is here. In Miuiiatee for many
Tears 1 conducted a dressmaking establish
ment which I carried on until I was taken
lick. I knew all the prominent people in
Muntstee anil it wns hard for me to close my
business und leave nil the ncople'I had known
there for years. My four children, nil of
whom nre married, lived in other states.
One daughter lived in Chicago mid beinc;
tdvised to change climate 1 came here. The
attack on tint Christmas afternoon came
without warnin?. I was suddenly taken
with chills and rheumatic lever, which grew
worse day by dny. Manistee physicians did
all they could for me, but I was helpless in
bed until the end ot Mnv 1893. The physi
cians advised me to leave the shores of the
lake and especially Manistee. 1 took tiieir
id v lee and came to Chicago.
"Khcumatisin was in inv hands, mv feet
nd my head, in fact it was nil over me be
sides lmvin;r heart fuilurev I could not
think of leaving my chsir. I wns unable to
ooinb my liuir, I was practically helpless at
the time I came to Chicago. Do you see all
those white sours on my hands? Well, let
me tell you how I orot them. My hands be
came fearfully swollen with the rheuma
tism and were smooth and shiny just like a
piece of elans. The skin by the swelling
was stretched to such a point that it burst
wherever you see the scars and from the
wounds came water for quite a long time.
My sufleriiiKs were nlruost unbearable, and
I tried the 'treatment of one of Chicasm's
oldest and best physicians. I took his medi
cine for three weeks, but only grew worse.
I became so nervous that I could not sleep
and my stomach became so weak, whether
from the strong drujfs or my general debili
tated condition I know not," but it was ditll
cult for me to reUlin nnv solid food. He
Rave up my cose and advised me to send lor
my husband.
"I knew by that advice, thnt he did not
give me much longer to live. Instead I
went tooneofmy daughter whr lives in the
southern part of Indiana, in Klnorn, Davis
Couuty, where her husband, Asa Maiir, was
one of the prominent merchants. I believed
the climate there, beins away from the in
fluences of Lake Michinan might help me.
I had been in Klnom about one week, not
feeling any better, when ono day I received
from my daughter In Chicago three boxes of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peonle.
telling me in her letter that she had rend in
a newpaper ot the wonderful cures they
had elfectcd. That she had cone to the wo
men the newspaper spoke about and found
then? and they told her every word said
bout them was true. She pleaded that I try
theso pills and perhaps I would find the
lame benefits. I did not hesitntu, us any
:hing that promised relief, let alone a cure I
was only too glad to try. I commenced tak
lug thm. two pills three times a day.

"For eight months past I had not been
able to eoiub my hair, dress myself or walk,
and had to be fed d urine all this time like a
babe. Well, the tirst pills I remember dis
tiuctly. I took on a Saturday, and the follow
ing Monday I found this improvement:
namely, my nerves seemed to be tiruier anil
my pains less. I wish to state that at this
time, for the last four mouths I had not slept
over nn hour at a time, hud suffered so great
ly from nervous prostration, to the extent thai
the least noise would completely upset DM
and make me shake like one having the ague.
This Monday evening I was sittiug in my
chair, nud bear in mind, my daughter's house
wns full of company making more or less
noise, all tending to keep .lie nervous. With
all thut I commenced to feel easier, a strange
and quieting feeling I had not experienced
siuee that Christmas afternoon I was stricken
down. I called to my daughter and said,
'Ado, I don't know wlmt has come over me,
I feel so restful nud actually feel sleepy, I
think I will try to go to sleep.' I could see
that she wns surprised and pleased. Imme
diately she undressed me and put me to lieu.
" I slept pound I y from 9 o'clock till 1
o'clock in the morning, and that mind you
with a house full of people. I remained
awake hut a short time, feeling better thnn I
had for months, and went into a sound sleep,
never waking till 7 o'clock in the morning.
It was very hot down there in August, but
from that time I slept and rested well. Then
I felt and saw an improvement gradually go
ing on. The tint thing I noticed wns, that
the swelling in my hands was going down,
and alter several weeks assumed their natur
al Miape. aud the tightly drawn skin, which
looked like glass disappeared altogether si
well as the pain. lielnre this time when
ever I tried to close my hands my linger
joints would crack and tne same cracking
sounds 1 heard when I bent my elbows or
tried to raise my arms as high as my shoul
ders. All this left me and also all the tierce
rheumatic pnins all through my body. I
mine hack to Chicago entirely cured, feel,
ing hale and hearty, und that after having
used the miraculous Pink Pills-f Dr. Wil
liams' for about four months. I suppose 1
hud taken during these four months about
one nnd a half 1ln7.cn boxes.
'It is now over three years ago thnt all
this happened, and I have never felt bettei
in my life. You can see for yourself thut I
am pretty spry on my feet. I finve no puins,
no aches nor anything that would suggest to
me now, the terrible time I had then. There
is another thing I wish tosnyiu regard to
the l'iuk Pills, which to 111 e signifies a great
deal. That is when the weather changes,
from extreme beat to extreme cold, or from
dry weather to raw, damp, chilly weather,
as wc had the past two weeks, and have every
little while in Chicngoall the yenr around,
I feci twinges und little pains in my shoul
ders or in my arm, or pcrhups it may be in
my side, nil I have to do is to take a few ol
the pills for n day or so and they take every
indiculiou of those pains nway.
" With the exception of the periods when
the wenlher is frightfully miserable, I hnve
not taken any pills since I wns cured And
the pills I have taken since have not been
for my old trouble, but simply for colds
which have tried to settle In some parts ot
my body, and which the bills have hmtunilv
driven out. I also wish to state thnt the piljfa
have cured my heart trouble, and in fact I
urn in perfect health in every respect."
