MARCH -NUMBER; OF THE READER

FORMER NEW YORK MAGAZINE NOW ISSUED FROM INDIANAPOLIS. HEWITT H- HOWLAND Well Known Indiana Literary Man Now Editor of the Magazine. The issuance of the March number of "The Reader' ' marks a red letter month in the literary life of Indiana, this being the first issue of this popular magazine from its new home, Indianapolis, and by its new sponsors, the Bobbs-Merrill company, a publishing company which has, within the past few years, so extended its influence as now to be ranked one of the leading publishing companies of this country, in the class with Harper's, Seribner's and other "Teat publishing concerns. There are several classes of periodicals in this country, notably the three great magazines, Seribner's, Century and Harper's; the ten cent magazines, of which the MeClure's, Cosmopolitan, Ainslee's, Munsey's and several others lead; the two great weekly magazines, the Independent and the Outlook; and various others which stand in no particular class, as the "World's Work, Review of Reviews, etc. "The Reader," however, is one of the four leading purely "literary" publications, namely, "The Critic," published by Putnams, "The Bookman," put out by Dodd, Mead & company, and "The Lamp" (formerly "The Bookbuyer"), published by Seribner's. "The Reader,"' since its inception a few years ago, has gained great vogue and widespread popularity, and, on this account, the BobbsMerrill company took it over. The new editor, Mr. II. II. How land, has for a number of years been the literary advisor of the BobbsMerrill company, and is one of the best known literary editors in the country, both Mr. Howland and his brother, Mr. Louis Howland, well known in Richmond, being also intimately associated with the literary life of this state. One of the most attractive features of this number is a recent picture of Mr. Riley and Homer Davenport, the well known cartoonist, who recently lectured in Indianapolis, Davenport being the cartoonist who started in to make Senator Hanna infamous and ended by making him famous, after a fashion.

the number is ' filled with interesting news and gossip of celebrities; short, niouaut articles on various subjects

of a literary and various other-char acters; part of the absorbing' serial; 1 The Bishop 's Carriage," and other interesting matter. With the April number the magazine is to be enlarged, and in that isue also begins I. ZangwilPs notable "Without Prejudice." Altogether, "The Reader" can be heai'tily com-, mended from every point of view, and, since it is now an Indiana product as to format and editing, although national in scope, will appeal to the state pride of all denizens of Indiana. Mr. James' Whit comb Riley yestei--day had conferred upon him by the University of Pennsylvania the degree of doctor of literature, several other distinguished men being given honorary degrees on the same occasion. Yale recently honored Mr. Riley with a like title, as have one or two other universities. Mr. Riley was accompanied to Philadelphia by Mr. Meredith Nicholson, the well known Indiana poet, novelist and critic. The Inspiration That Caused General Lew Wallace to Write It. Few people know that it was the famous agnostic, Robert G. Ingersoll, who caused the writing of the novel "Ben Hur," the stage version of which has nroven an absolute sensation, not only in this country but in England and Australia. It came about through a chance meeting of the two famous men on a railroad journey, when Christianity became the subject of their talk. General Wallace had alwajs been a man of strong 'religious inclination; indeed his splendid description of the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem f.o the wise men of the desert had been written before this chance acquaintance. The arguments and claims of the great infidel were too much for the doughty General. His senses were charmed with the eloquence and poetical pi'esentation of the causes of agnosticism, but he was by no means convinced of its truth. The discussion made him deeply reflective and led him to enter upon a careful and exhaustive study of the life of the Xazarene. The result of this research and General Wallace's answer to Ingersoll was "Ben-Hur," a work which has been more widely read than any other printed volume save the Sacred Book of Scripture. The placing of " Ben-Hur" on the stage in dramatic form was attended by many interesting circumstances. General Wallace had strenuously opposed any dramatization of his immortal wrork, notwithstanding that the late Lawrence Barrett and many other noted thespians made the request. The author had always believed in the theatre as an elevating influence for good, but he was unable to see how the main incidents of his book could be put into dramatic form without violating the firmly grounded principles of all who believe in the Christian religion. Finally, Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger hit upon a plan which would be perfectly effective and yet treat the subject with all possible respect. They conceived the idea of simply suggesting the presence of the Saviour by a shift of pure white light of remarkable brilliancy. This suggestion appealed to the general and led to the. business , arrangement which has been so substantial satisfactory to both writer and manager. "Ben-Hur" will be presented at the Victoria Theatre, Dayton, Ohio, for a period of six nights, beginning Thursday, February 25, and terminating Wednesday, March 2. with matinees on Saturday and Wednesday. The sale of seats for the "BenHur" engagement will open on Monday, February 22. Special attention will be given to mail orders in the order received, when accompanied by a remittance and a self-addressed stamped envelope for reply. All requests for seats should be addressed to L. M. Boda, Manager Victoria Theatre, Dayton, Ohio. The Dayton & Western Traction Company have made arrangements to run cars to accommodate persons wishing to attend from this city. A SILVER WEDDING.

MODE! SKYSCRAPERS Stood the Baltimore Tire Test Even in 2,800 Degrees of Heat. (Fireproof Magazine.) Advance sheets of The Fireproof Magazine give the result of a visit by a body of experts, made to determine the effect of the recent lire here on the modern steel structure. The report says in part : "It is found that the reports first sent out regarding the destruction of the skyscraper buildings of Baltimore were entirely erroneous, as they remain standing in every case practically intact, and requiring but a minimum of expense for repairs upon the structural parts. "The committee gave most time to theContinental Trust company building, constructed of steel and tile, and considered the highest type of fireproof construction in Baltimore. The Continental stood in the very center of a raging furnace of heat and flame, and D. II. Burnham, the architect of the building, after walking upstairs from the first floor to the roof, sixteen stories above, reports that the steel, floor arches, main partitions, etc., with slight exceptions, remain perfectly intact. The engineers report that the steel construction is intact in every respect, and every part plumb. "All the tile floor arches throughout the Continental are in perfect condition, the only apparent damage being the complete destruction of all the ornamental and marble work, wooden' floor strips, glass and fixtures. Even the furring tile over the openings of the main windows on the banking floor, where the fire was fiercest, was found to be in perfect preservation, while the cast iron mulling? in these openings are Avildly distorted by heat. " "Some idea of the terrifiee test to which this building was subjected may be had from observing that the typewritng machines on the various floors which were found, were fused into molten masses. The experts estimate from this that the heat must have been approximately 2,S00 degrees Fahrenheit, as that temperature is required to melt cast iron. "While the committee of experts were examining the structure of the Continental binding, the United Street Railways eompany's officials were engaged in lowering over 2,000 tons of silver money, which was found safely stored on the tenth floor." WEAK LUNGS. can not be reached by cough mixtures, nor can weak lungs be cured by taking eod liver oils. It has been proven, however, that blood made healthy and made to circulate as it should by taking Vitona will cure weak lungs after other treatment fails. For an ordinary cough or cold nothing equals Vitona. It cures by strengthening. One sample bottle will prove its merit. For sale by Alford Drug companySCRUBS YS. JERSEY COWS Superiority of Blooded Animas Shown by Indiana's Figure in Butter. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 23. Indiana will exploit the dairy cow of Hoosierdom at the World's Fair. The plan has been originated by Chair man W. W. Stevens, of the Fair Commission of that state. Models of cows made of their own butter from a year's churning will be exhibited so that their value can be determined by comparison. Each model, thus being made from a year's product in butter of the animal it represents, will furnish an object lesson to impress every farmer and dairyman who visits the Fair. One figure will represent an ordinary . "scrub" cow, and the other figure) will represent a full-blooded .Jersey. Mr. Stevens claims that careful investigation has shown that ablooded Jersey cow will produce four times making the display is as much to teach the Indiana people how to in-

The Cause and Cure of t

Rheumatism. A short treatise on Rheumatism for the Popular Mind. To the sufferer from Rheumatism 3 definite cure is found. You probably, know Uric acid is the cause of Rheumatism. Rheumatism is the most stubborn of all painful diseases. Athlophoros is a positive remedy for Rheumatism, because it removes the cause by eliminating the excess of Uric acid from the system. All Rheumatic affections result from an excess of Uric acid in the blood. Athlophoros drives it out! For sale at all druggists. Send four cents in stamps for our new booklet; "Rheumatism Its Cause and Cure.' Athlophoros Co., New Haven. Conn. If your druggist doesn't sell it, let us know. as much butter in a year as will the ordinary "scrub" cow. The cost of keeping the two animals is identical Hence the farmer who keeps the "scrubs" receives one-fourth the return, in butter, for the feed given his cows as does the man who owns Jerseys. This fact is to be brought home forcibly in the Iloosier display, as the figure made from the Jersey butter will be four times the size of the figure representing the "scrub." These butter object lessons will be placed in mammoth refrigerators with glass sides and visitors can have an unobstructed view at all times. Chairman Stevens says the object of crease their butter product in quantity and quality as it is to show these products to the world. While many Iloosier farmers and dairymen appreciate the value of blooded animals, a great many do not realize their full loss by keeping the old "scrub" stock. This practical exhibit, giving as it does an ocular demonstration of the vast superiority of the blooded cow, is expected to create a demand for better animals for the farm and dairy. REGRET. The bow was bent, as the crescent . moon, The arrow drawn to the head ; When a hand released the cord a tune Rose keen as the arrow sped: The sharp note died and the arrow fled, But a Avell bird fluttered and fell down dead. And the wind went moaning In. "O, arrow, why did vou smite my bird ? Little bird, why must jou die?" The arrow never a whisper heard, But a cloud rose in the sky, And never a muscle the warbler stirred Though a rain of tears my vision blurred As the wind went wailing by. O. long I wait by the garden gate For a song I hear no more; The mourning mate, still desolate, Repeateth some brief notes o'er Her threnody's little score From a wee heart sadly sore And the plaintive wind goes by. The bow hangs broken upon the wall, The arrow lies where it fell And a dull heart-ache shall Ion"- recall That I aimed, alas, too well; The wind goes moaning by to tell I aimed the assassin shaft to well, For I sew him, even I.
