How Dickens Wrote.

Stephen Fiske presents a most interesting pen picture of Dickens, his family and of Gadshill, where he was a frequent and welcome guest, in The Ladies' Home Journal. Of Dickens' method of work Mr. Fiske says: During my visits Dickens was not at work 'upon a novel, bnt he shnt himself in

Fechter's chalet from 11a. m. to 8 p. m. almost every day. This was another part of bis methodical system. If he felt in the mood he wonld write an 'Uncommercial Traveler' article. If not, he jwonld answer letters, read All the »*£ear Round proofs, jot down ideas or fill np the time with some sort of literary labor. This, he told me, was his self discipline. The one room in the chalet was* sparsely famished and had window" on all sides commanding quiet, pleasant views of fields and plantations. He seldom talked of his books, bnt one rainy day he showed me the bound manuscript of one of them and told me hie method of planning a story. Having selected a subject, he would write down the name of the hero and surround it with queries. 'Shall he be rich? Parents or guardians? Defrauded of his property? An early love?' and so on with the other characters lb they occurred tc him. He always used blue ink, and sc did Yates and Halliday and the other writers of what was then 'the Dickens sohool.' They all called him ohief, and be liked the title."

Knowledge.

Much of the value of knowledge depends upon the way it is obtained. Some of it is given to us. and we aocept it passively. Some is thrust upon us, and we receive it unwillingly. Some we crave and work for and finally obtain by means of our own thought and researches. Of course in very early childhood knowledge as well as everything else irust be given. This is natural and right, and so long as the give: is judicious and not too eager the child's mind will thrive by it. Gradually, however, as his powers unfold, this constuut giving loses its value. The tiiqe arrives when his mind needs developing, his enriosity awakening, hi? faculties stimulating, and this work should largely take tho place of imparting information. If it bo done successfully, ho will soon show a desire foi knowledge of various kinds and will seek it with avidity',' and whatevor

A IlftrbaroiM Policy.

After the Dutch had taken tho Moluccas from the Portuguese they litre dueed the cultivation of tho clove ink their own possessions, cut down all the clove trees of the Moluccas and pro mi iced deah on any one who would pl:uu a single clove bush or gather ot sill a (twind of the product. Expeditions were sent from their other eastern possessH tm every year to cut down auj bushes that might have accidentally started in the Molucca islands. This barbarous policy made the islands a desert, for, deprived of their forests, the volcanic soil was washed away, and tin1 population starved or was deported.

Grand Army Chaplain Buffum, Missionary to India Miller, Presiding Elder Walker, Praise Nervura. The Best Medicine You

lit7. JS.

There is nothing in the world so good to take to make you well and strong as Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Testimonials by thousands from all classes of people have been published, showing its marvelous effects in making the sick well, the weak strong, and now our clergymen have become interested and for the people's good urge them to use this wonderful cure, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, in order to get well, for they are convinced that it is the most valuable medicine in the world to-day.

Rev. E. J. Miller, of Albion, N. Y., the eminent divine, who represents the Boston Tremont Temple Society as missionary to India, was broken down with overwork, liver trorble and malaria, and is now on vacation, in search of health, has found both health and strength in the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura. He says: "I returned to America broken in health, with a bad catarrh, neuralgia and stomach and liver trouble. The whole top of my head felt numb, so that at times I was robbed of my thinking powers, and could not do any work with ease. Having consulted a number of doctors and taken their medicines, I received no relief whatever.

The cradle, familiar through cen tnriea, is giving way to the crib, aud! cribs of iron and brass are taking the place of wooden cribs. At one large furniture establishment cradles were not kept at all. It sold only criba At other places the sale of cribs greatly exceeded that of cradles.

Of the cradles now sold only the cheapest are made to rock on rockers in the old fashioned way. By far the greater number swing between standards. There are now made, however, cradles that rock on platform rockers, like those of the modern platform rocking chair.

Various reasons are assigned for the substitution of the crib for the cradle, The crib takes np less room and is less in the way than the cradle, with its] rockers. It is better for the child and it makes less work for the mother. Accastoincd to a crib, the child is put to slop there with much less care and labor. The modern baby can iage, vastly more comfortable and convenient than the old time baby carriage, has in some degm? taken the p'aoe cf the cradle.

a new man in health and strength. "I therefore feel it my duty and great pleastire to recommend this excellent remedy, Dr. Greene's Nervura, which certainly has done so much for me."

Rev. F. II. Buffum, of Winchester, N. H., who is Grand Army Chaplain for New Hampshire, says:

The remedial effect of Dr. Greene's Nervura Wood and nerve remedy on the weaknesses and nervous prostration of my wife, was so positive and speedy that we can heartily testify to its undoubted merits."

Presiding' Elder Rev. J. W. Walker, of Fort Dodge, Iowa Rev. C. I). R. Meacham, pastor Raptist Church, Townsend, Vt. Rev. G. L. Wells, of llardwick, Vt. Rev. Henry Langford, of Weston, W. Va., and many other wellknown ministers of the Gospel in all parts of the country, all of whom have been cured by this great remedy, enthusiastically urge the people to use Dr. Greene's Nervura by all means, if they wish to be sure of a cure, for health and strength always follow its use.

Remember that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy Is no common patent medicine, but the prescription of one of our best-known physicians, the discovery of Dr. Greene, of 35 Wes't 14th St., New Yorkfity. the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, hence the medicine is of necessity perfectly adapted to cure. Dr. Greene also can be consulted free, personally or by letter, in iv.gard to any case.

New Style of Dressing the Hair.

Writing on dressing the hair, Isabel A. Mai Ion, in Ladies' Home Journal, says that "a pretty and absolutely new coiffure is the one that, while it rathe' gives the blouse effect, really consist, of three deep waves that turn back aur which are of course made by the iron At the back the hair is arranged in double eight twist that shows well a the sides, but does not rise above tb top of the head. Women who have ven little hair can tic it close to the head, fasten the switch on by a string draw: through its loop, which is the best way. and then, pinning down their own hni close to the head, arrange the switch form the doable eight. Elderly ladies, especially those whose hair has growi. entirely white, wear it ofteness in pompadour roll, which requires a small pad under it, and then in the back havt a plaited switch carefully pinned to thr hair in a looplike fashion. Many ladicwho have reached middle age or passcc it adhere to the coiffure seized as becoming when they were ytung, and it must he confessed that there is a certain dignity about this."

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

YOUNGEST COLONEL.

How Harry Mulligan of Lonlgvillc Won This IMatlnction.

The youngest colonel in America lives in Louisville. Little Harry Mulligan is only IS years old, but he is a full fledged ookrael and is attached to the staff of Governor Bradley of Kentucky. It is the first time in the history of any state of the nation when circumstanoes might be such that a child oould officially represent the governor of a commonwealth, and no man five times his age could deny his right to do so. If the governor of the state of Kentucky and the lieutenant governor and half a dozen other functionaries became snddenly ill at the same time the duty of officially representing the governor would fall upon America's youngest colonel, who is a member of the official state family.

No one to see him would imagine the gallant way in which he can don his gay uniform and add dignity and grace to the publio appearance of the ohief magistrate of the state.

He was born in Ottawa, Canada, both his father and mother being Canadiana He went to Louisville with his parents in the fall of 1888, and ever since that time his father, who is popularly known as Tom Mulligan, has been connected with the management of the Louisville hotel.

In this way young Harry Mulligan came to know every politician of any prominence in the Blue Grass State, and during the last gubernatorial campaign he was as well posted on the candidates and their chances for and against elec

tion as was any working politioian. He is naturally quiet but, like all quiet boys, he listeus to all that is going on around him and hears a great deal.

It was this faculty which was the direct cause of his military appointment. Among his other political friends was the governor of Kentucky, who was often a guest at the Louisville hotel Often in the hotel oorridors political disoussions waxed warm, and to these the future "boy colonel" was an attentive and Interested listener.

He never ventured a word there, but he was a political authority among boys of his own age and often talked in boyish language and enthusiasm to child audiences of the issues of the day.

Colonel Bradley one day, a year before he was elected governor passed through the corridors of the hotel, where young Harry was standing talking with a companion. Harry saw him and in return to his greeting, "How do you do, colonel received from the future governor the remark: "How do you do, Harry? Glad to see you." "Who is that gentleman?" asked some gu($t of the house of Harry. Quick as a flash came the reply, 'That is Colonel Bradley, the next governor of Kentucky."

The colonel overheard the remark, and, turning to the boy, asked him to repeat it, which he did. "All right, my boy if that prophecy comes true," said be, "I will make you a colonel on my staff."

Everybody apparently forgot the remark until after Governor Bradley's surprising victory over all opposition in Kentucky. Nobody seriously oonsidered 18-year-old Harry Mulligan a candidate for a colonelcy until a few weeks ago, to the surprise of everybody, and to the young recipient more than any one else, Governor Bradley issued a commission to Colonel Harry Mulligan of Louisvillei

That is how Kentucky came to have the youngest colonel in America.—New York Herald

Around the World In Thirty Day*.

Perhaps you've never read Jules Verne's thrilling story "Around the World In Eighty Days." When it was written, the author thought be was telling a very big story, indeed, and so did every one else. The idea, said his readers, of traveling 25,000 miles in 80 days! Preposterous!

But since then many travelers have made the trip in less time, and within the next four years any boy or girl will be able to make it in SO days. For in the year 1900 the Russians will complete their famous Transsiberian railroad, which connects Europe with the Pacific coast of Asia. Starting from New York, the traveler may then cross the Atlantic ocean to the coast of France. Here he may take a train which w:i 3 wVM 1 'n over E-.r-r-'- and Asia

Mohair Petticoats.

Mohair pettiooats are to be offered in bright colors, making an excellent substitute for silk. These garments will be finished with the same care bestowed on silk, and may be worn whenever silk could. Are they quite as nice? Well, there are the crinkle and crunch of silk to be considered, and for the sake of that magic accompaniment of crushy frou frou to our movements women will pay if they can and wear a material that is short lived at best. Still, some wise ones will go in for mohair petticoats and oontent themselves with one trilk one. For street wear and with tailor dresses surely the mohair is the better selection. Made with umbrella fullness and finished with a full ruffle edged with rows of velvet of a shade a little darker than the stuff itself, or with a contrasting black, the general effect is almost as pretty as silk, and since mohair will wash and does not fray like Bilk the former petticoat will hold its prettiness. Billiard green, silver gray, striped and dresden effects, black, white, blue and pink will all be offered.

This cheapening of quality will not at first bring a corresponding reduction in outlay, though that will oomo later if these pettiooats win general acceptance. No general tendency toward economy can be reported inside dress skirts, and outside the leaning is in favor of showiness. Skirts are being trimmed more and more. Few have any great amount of trimming, but a great many have just enough to mark them as a departure from the late lamented plain skirt—Philadelphia Telegraph.

Hot or Gold* Water.

In a paper read before a medical association recently a prominent physiciau says, concerning the use of hot and coid water, that while the majority have concluded that hot water is better for bathing the eyes there are cases whore cold is required and that the patient should decide for himself, giving the preference to that whioh the more qniokly relieves the pain and leaves no bad effects. Hot water is generally considered to be far better than cold for bruises. Water which is not too cold drunk in quantities is one of the best means of producing the perspiration neoessary for curing a heavy cold. It is said that a bowl of water stood at the side of the bed will often cure troubler1 sleep as well as insomnia. It is an admirable method of purifying the atmosphere of a room whioh has become for with tobacco smoke. —Brooklyn Eagle.

Almost every household has odd ooinc lying about, since the crazo for their collection is an old one and usually attacks the male members of a family at some time.

The Better Sex.

It must be admitted on behalf of women thnt they enjoy unrivaled good fortune in being able to keep out of jail. Vital statistics compiled from the last census returns show that for every 10, 000 men in Amorica 28.6 of them were peeping from behind bars, while of each 10,000 women in our country only 2.10 are restrained of their liberty.—-Boston Post

Tbe Tyranny of the Desk. We will suppose that your occupation Is sedentary—that you are chained, so to spoak to the desk In some counting house, or perhaps to the loom In some vast mill where you are compelled to labor from morning till night. Sunday is your only day of relaxation. You return home every evening wearied mentally and bodily. Your health and strength begin to fall. What will most effectually recuperate your vital enorgy? The weight of evidence points to no other conclusion than that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is your safest, most reliable sheet anchor. Use it persistently, and your system will soon regain its pristine vigor. Every function will receive a healthy Impulse.
