A New International Literary Journal.
It is our privilege to announce
the early appearance of a weekly
journal which will he entitled Lit
erature, and will he published in
England by tike proprietors of the
IvoimIuii Times, and in America by
Messrs. Harper Ai Brothers. Its
first iiuiiiIkt will lie issued in Ijoii
donaiitl New York, toward the end
ofOctolier. .... '. jlmiiks, oiiehitcd for the profit of the
- i . .
The ndniirable distinctness and
singleness of purpose that mark this
new periodical find expression in its
title. Literature, and literature
alone, is to be its theme. The aim
of its publishers will be to make it
essentially the organ of the literary
elasMS in the widest sense of the
term, impartial and authoratative in
its literary 'criticism, anil a compre
hensive and trustworthy medium of
literary intelligence. An earnest
and an honest ntteiiiiit will be made
to deal w ith the hot literature ol
every country on its literary merits
alone, without prejudice, without
national prepossessions. To Eng
lisli and to American works a cer
tain prominence will almost inevit
ably Ik- given; but this natural pre
ference will not exclude reviews ot
the more important of the volumes
issuing from the publishing centres
on the continent of Europe.
Though Literature will consist
mainly of reviews of books, it will
invite correspondence on and will
itself deal w ith any literary subject
of permanent or of current interests
to the writing, publishing, or read
ing world. The rule of anonymity
will be generally observed in its re
views, though not with unvarying
strictness ; and a refreshing novelty
is suggested in the statement that
every endeavor will be made to find
room for the proper expression of
adverse views over the signature of
any correspondent. It is proposed
to publish weekly, or as often as the
invasion may arise, a biography of
some topic of the time, in order to
furnish the reader with a list of all
the works which can be consulted
on the shbjcct. The record of new
publications will lie made as com
plete as jMissible, but in the selec
tion of books Ibr review the editor,
will lie guided solely by his judg
ment of their literarv value. This
seems to lie, or should seem to lie, 'of mutual savings hunks, which are
at all the help of even a scratching
criticism, Literature will apply to
them the far more effective treat
ment of neglect. On the other hand,
it is hop! that every inijxirtant
work mav lie reviewed within three
weeks alter its publication.
Evidently Literature, by virtue
of its definite and iindeviating aim,
has a field all its own a very use
ful and (the Weekly cordially hojx-s
and sincerely believes) a lilx-ral field
to work in and to nrositcr in. And
not less evidently it has that indis-K-nsible
thing the jiositivc char
acter w hich appears to lie a prime
condition of success in the cipiit-
inent of a publiiatioii no less, or
scarcely less, than in the career of
an individual. Now opportunity
and character comprise two-thirdsof
the elements of success.
The selection of Mr. II. 1)
Trill as editor of Literature finds its
warrant in the broad critioal (a
ultv and iiiasulinc sanitv of judg
ment which characterize that well
known writer. Harper's 1 1 ..
Better Banking Facilities.
The New England States and
New York are fairly well supplied
with savings banks. Moreover, the
banks in these states are much safer
than the great majority of the sav
ings institutions that are to lie found
in other parts of the country. The
savings banks of the New England
states and New York are what are
known as mutual savings banks,
managed by trustees who derive no
profit from their operation. In
other sections the savings institu
tions are almost entirely stock
banks of the cast, where the de
mand for additional saving facilities
is not so great, ofler less objection
to Hstal savings banks than those
connected with the few . savings
luniks that are to lie found in the
west and south. The reason, of
course, is that the latter - make a
profit from handling the savings of
the jKor, while the former do not.
Mr. Wanamakcr, when he was
lostin!ister-genend, had information
gathered showing the average dis
tance of savings luniks from Kst-
ofliccs, which are supposed t l' lo
cated centrally and convenient to
the jMiiple. Follow ing are the fig
ures. Miles.

Making postofliees savings banks

stockholders and only too often to
the loss of the depositors. In the
seven eastern states rcferti-d to none
but the mutual banks are allowed
by law to do a savings business. If
the people were to be limited to
private savings institutions as places
of deposit, clearly every state ought
to follow the example of New York
and New England and provide for
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 : 1 1 banks.
In the savings banks of the I'nit
cd States, as reported to the comp
troller of the currency, there were
last year ", 111 depositors, with
deposits to their credit amounting to
.l,it7,l.i,-J77. Further, accord
ing to the comptroller of the cur
rency, "nearly SO percent of 1 m t 1 1
number of depositors and amount of
deposits is represented by banks in
the New England states and New
York." These seven states have a
population of approximately 12,
000,000, or (die-sixth of that of the
entire country, yet the savings
banks of those states hold four,'
-filths of the savings deposits ot the j Few of the jicople from this place

There It bo reason for being despondent
and considering diseases of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many sc-called blood
remedies fail to effect a enre. . Thousrh
t is naturally disheartening to the suf
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself, no better as time goes
by, still a cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe
cific) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases alter other treatment bad
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of coring the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. It is nature's remedy, and con
tains no harmful ingredient.
Mr. Charles Glenn, of 1563 Dudley St.;
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise S S.S. for giving him
back his health. He says:
"From childhood I was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and num
ber, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by a num
ber of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tem
porary relief was over, I found myself
f;rowing steadily worse. Thus I grew
nto manhood, handicapped by a terrible
disease, and having tried so many reme
dies without relief, when a friend urged
me to take S.S S. I bad little faith in any
medicine. I was happy to find, however,
that I bad at last gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle of S.S.S did me so much
good that I soon had hopes of being cured.
I continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving tuy skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and I am robust and strong. I be
lieve S.S.S. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world."
S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema.Catarrh, Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Pofcon, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.
