Combination Book Case FOR $13.95.

For those who are accustomed to sending away from home for their goods it is of the greatest importance to know the character and reliability of the establishment selling goods to families from catalogues. The great emporium of the John M. Smyth Co., located at 150 to 100 West Madison street, Chicago, has been established for a third of a century, and has furnished over half a million homes in Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm enjoys the confidence of the public by its many years of fair dealing. It issues an immense illustrated catalogue that should be in every family, as it describes and gives the price of every article required for household use. A sample of the extraordinary values offered by this firm is shown in the illustration of the combination bookcase in another column of this paper for $13.95. This is one of the best bookcases ever offered to the public, and yet it is but a sample of the thousand and one useful articles illustrated and described in the beautiful catalogue of the John M. Smyth Company.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN'-O? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about M as much. AU grocers sell it. 15c and 25c.

Non-Sinkable Boats.

The latest invention for saving life is a non-sinkable boat. If people would pay as much attention to the preservation of life in other ways there would be a great improvement. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is a life preserver. It cures dyspepsia, indigestion and all forms of stomach trouble. It is an excellent tonic.

Not Contagious.

The reminiscences and recollections of W. G. Grace, the veteran English cricketer, contain at least one good story—a joke made by Tom Emmett, a famous bowler. One Saturday afternoon Emmett was bowling for his club, but the fielders dropped catch after catch with such systematic persistence that be lost his temper, threw the ball on the ground, and said: “I’m not going to bowl any more. There’s an epidemic on this ground, but thank heaven, it ain’t catehin’!”

A Notable Silver Anniversary.

With the close of the present year Mr. David C. Cook of Chicago will celebrate his first quarter centennial as editor and publisher of Sunday school literature. Starting twenty-five years ago, without reputation or assurance of support, he has become one of the most widely and favorably known publishers in this line. Beginning in 1875 with tw r o small publications, his periodicals have grown in number and favor until there are few schools in this country that do not find it to their interest to use some of his pure and helpful publications, while many in distant lands pay tribute to their merits. The past quarter of a century has witnessed many changes among Sunday school publishers, and much less time than this has sufficed for some to outlive their usefulness. On the contrary, Mr. Cook is preparing to celebrate the beginning of another quarter century with additional improvements and new publications. Among these may be mentioned The New r Century Sunday School Teacher’s Monthly, a large and thoroughly up-to-date magazine for superintendents and teachers, the first issue of which will appear in December. Among the most remarkable of his publications is the Young People’s Weekly, which has attained a circulation of nearly a quarter of a million, being a successful attempt to furnish a high grade of religious story reading for boys and girls. To avoid the “goody-goody” story of the Sunday school, such as we remember in our childhood days, and furnish something natural, Interesting and ennobling, has been its aim, and we are not at all surprised at its popularity. The restraining influence of the Christian home and the Sunday school on our growing community of young people, some of us may not appreciate as •we should—perhaps because these sometimes fail to restrain. This paper should be a most welcome accessory in this work, and one which all should appreciate. Boys and girls will read, and the story book and paper are their first choice. There seems a plentiful supply of religious papers for older people. but this is the first successful attempt to furnish a non-sectarian religious story paper for young people. The paper is profusely illustrated, beautifully printed, and contains as much or more reading matter than the most expensive of secular young people’s story papers. The price, seventyfive cents per year, should bring it within the reach of every home. Mr. Cook Is now making a special effort to give the paper a wider circulation, and all who send seventy-five cents for a year’s subscription before Jan. 1 will receive a beautiful premium picture entitled “The Soul’s Awakening.” It is exactly the same size (13x18 inches) and style as those on sale at art stores for sl. Orders should be addressed to David C. Cook Publishing Co., 36 Washington street, Chicago. Probably no man living has done so much to improve and cheapen Sunday school literature as has Mr. David C. Cook. Through his aid thousands of schools have been encouraged, improved and made self-sustaining.'Mr. Cook 1b yet a comparatively young man, and it does not appear at all Improbable that his field of usefulness may extend over yet another quarter century.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Miss Lillian Paunceforte, daughter of Sir Jnlian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador to Washington, will be married on February 22, Washington’s birthday, to Robert Bromley, honorary secretary of the British Embassy. The wedding date, it was stated at the embassy, was selected by Miss Pauncefote without thought of the coincidence with Amer-

MISS LILIAN PAUNCEFOTE.

ica’s holiday, but all concerned are now delighted with the happy choice, Sir Julian himself having stated that he is very much of an American. The wedding will be celebrated at the embassy and will be one of the brilliant events of the Washington season. Miss Pauncefote is the first child of an Ambassador to be married at the United States capital. The President and all the members of his cabinet, with the entire diplomatic corps, will attend the ceremony. A question of precedence has been settled by Secretary Porter, the official social arbiter at the White House. Occasionally the wives of cabinet officers are unable to take Lheir place in the official line at the state receptions. Under such circumstances a daughter frequently acts for her mother and the momentous question has been whether this daughter should take the place in the line which her mother would occupy or go to the foot of the class. Secretary Porter has decided that the substitutes must go to the foot of the line, below Miss Wilson, daughter of the Secretary of Agriculture, who is the regular representative of her father, but who takes the foot of the line because he is legally at the foot of the cabinet succession. Mr. Porter’s decision puts an end to a social discussion which had in it the elements of some heart burnings, and the matrons of the cabinet are overjoyed at the fact.

The Roberts case is an annoying one to both parties. Public sentiment is against allowing the Mormon member to hold a seat in Congress. Mr. Roberts contends that the constitution of Utah, accepted by the United States Government when the State was admitted, prohibited polygamous marriages, but did not prohibit men who had plural wives from living with them and caring for them and their families. The Republicans want to expel Roberts because he is a polygamist, not because he is a Mormon or a Democrat. The Democrats do not want to have him expelled because he is a Democrat, but they do not care to defend him as a polygamist. They hesitate at inviting him to the Democratic caucus, but they do not care to deny him admission as a good Democrat. Neither side cares to have it made a party issue.

Mr. Madden, the fourth assistant postmaster general, in his annual report tells how fourth-class postmasters sometimes increase their compensation, which is regulated by the number of stamps that are sold and canceled in their offices. Many postmasters who are merchants arrange with the wholesale dealers with whom they buy goods to send as much as possible by mail as fourth-class matter. The wholesale merchant puts a single 2-cent stamp upon a package, and when it arrives at its destination the merchant postmaster adds a sufficient number of post-age-due stamps to cover the deficiency, which may run into dollars in a month. Then he credits himself with the commission on their cancellation under the existing rules for the regulation of compensation of postmasters of the fourth class.

Members of both houses of Congress are receiving largely signed petitions of sympathy with the Boers, which ask that Congress shall interfere to protect them from the rapacious policy of Great Britain by insisting upon an arbitration of the questions at issue. While Congress has nothing to -do with the foreign affairs of the country, and is expressly forbidden to interfere with them, there will doubtless be an effort to respond in some measure to public sentiment by the introduction and the possible passage of a resolution of sympathy. For thirty days the families of the administration will abstain from all social pleasures out of respect to the memory of the late Vice-President. The ladies of the cabinet have withdrawn acceptances of several dinners and a number of interesting affairs have been abandoned. All the houses of members of the cabinet will be closed until the Ist of January. The Navy Department has awarded contracts for building the six unprotected cruisers of 3,200 tons authorized by the last Congress. To carry out the dying wish of his wife, Peter Karl of New York will go to Bedloe’s Island and empty tbe urn containing the ashes of his wife from the torch of the statue of liberty. Mrs. Karl’s body was cremated at her request, and the husband is determined to see her final wish fulfilled.
