Personal Literature.

The Messrs. Putnam nnoun
another book by John Habberton. And
the fact that the author of Helen's
Babies calls his new venture His
Grandmothers," leads US to remark
that American literature seems to have
reached what might be called its ''per-
sonal'' epoch. The day has come when
all ones relations by blood and by
marriage are having or are to have a
pen. taken to them for the entertain
ment and instruction of everybody.
The appearance of Helen's bright and
promising offspring upon the stage,
served as the signal for introducing q
large and varied assortment of Babies
to the reading public. In fact, it look
ed in the early summer as if every man
who had a Baby of his own, or wa ac-
quainted with a Baby, wa determined
to print and publish the darling's
biography. The consequence was that
July found the book market overloaded
with Babies.
There was still a steady demand for
Helen's, and one or two.other varieties,
but the rest were SO neglected that
the publishers cried out to the authors
'we really can't stand another Baby;
take any shape but a Baby"
The baby being sat down upon, as it
were; having became what Hood would
call ''spoilt" child, the versatile writ

short space of time, and the result was

And now, before the public has had
time to get thoroughly acquainted with
these always interesting personages,
personages in fact that no family
should be without, the irrepressible
Habberton, who first evoke to ecstacy

q former generation and fetches out
His"Grauhmothers," As the philoso-
pher Billings has reminded us, there is
good deal of human nature in the
average a And because of that
fact, the personal epoch in American
literature may last for some time longer.
But, for mercy's sake, let the line be
drawn at His Grandmothers, or, at all
events, let there be nc going back of his
Cousin in the first degree. The Ameri-
can people are proverbially good
natured and long-suffering, but they
won't stand everything. And if there

1t is DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, a
man with keener insight into women,
perhaps, than any other English
speaking author, who gave this name
the other day to n large minority of our
wives and daughters. "A hysterical
woman" he declares, sis a vampire
who sucks the blood Of the healthy
people about her." Nervousness in
American women, in fact, has reached
sach an extent that it is next to drunk
enness in men, the national domestic
evil, and a very certain practical
one, for it is a subject of public inter
est. There is not a reader of the Tri-
bune who does not know at least n
Of these vampire women-the lean,
bloodless, miserable girl or wife, fiabby
and unstable in flesh and mind, whose
disease takes, in the family, the vague
name Of debility, or nervous exhaustion,
or spinal disorder-names which may
mean anything or nothing. ars ago
she was forced to give up her proper
work in the house, and is now q dead
weight on its living members. Some
times this victim is selfish and domin-
eering, but as a rule she is u sanity
martyr. The more of a martyr she is,
the deader the weight; the more be-
Ioyed, the greater the drain upon the
sympathies of the people about her.
The disease increases with each genera
ton. 1t is almost unknown to our
Woodworking grandmothers; very few
living old women have it; but look
around the tables of any Of our water
ing-placss to-day, and how many plump,
rudy, cheerful .matrons are there
among the lean, sallow creatures of
middle age, each Of whom is nursing
her own case of neuralgia or anamic
exhaustion. as if the world was only
made to hold it? AS for the young
girls, the majority of them are born
tired. 1t is not affectation which makes

Henry Watterson seems to have been
reconciled, and no mistake. He wei
coined the President to Louisville in
some double-leaded editorial, of which
this is n sample: 1.-The mystic chords
of memory touched by the angels of
our better nature, stretching over every
battlefield and over every patriot grave
to every loving heart and h~earthstone
throughout the land, swell again, as
they did in days of yore, to the music

It the are when the current Of life
should run fullest and reddest. In al
most every family this summer, we
venture to say one member is going
through the regimen Of iron, exercise,
change of air, ETC., which may quicken
the pulse in the patients veins for the
time, but neither reddens her blood or
rounds her cheek.
Now this domestic grievance, though
it does not find its way often into the
is so sore and heavy a bur-
den on our social life that we are not
surprised to find that American ply
sicians have set to work to discover a
cure which shall underlie the cause OF
the evil, and not merely palter with its
symptoms. Our best physicians, too,
have lately adopted a habit of giving
their new theories and modes of cure in
pamphlets intended for the public, with
a wise simplicity of diction, abjuring
the mystery and technical verbiage IL
which doctors Of the old school con-
cealed their knowledge or the lack of it.
The system for cure for these useless or
worn-out women appeals directly to
the common sense of any ordinary
reader. II was recently explained In
detail in a treatise on fat and blood
by DIR. Weir Mitchell, who has used it
with singular success in the Hospital
for Nervous Diseases, in Philadelphia.
The moral atmosphere about the patient
is suddenly changed by her entire and
prompt removal from anxious indulgent
friends, and the substitution of seclus-
ion, with no companionship but her
physician and a skillful nurse. Absolute
rest is insured; she is ordered to bed for
six weeks or two months, not permit
ted to read, sew, or do anything
there but to manufacture adipose tissue
and red blood. For this purpose she is
put upon a milk diet, which is supple
mented in n short time by a steady
course of over-feeding, while the lack
of exercise is supplied by treatment
known rs massage, or kneading every
muscle and square inch of flesh in the
body, and by electricity. In a word,
tire morbid, delicate creature, who in
all probability was nauseated by food,
and despised her body as too poor a
vessel to hold her soul, is suddenly re-
duced to the condition of an animal,
with no other end in life than to eat
and grow fat. Under this treatment
she invariably does grow fat, and her
blood reddens. Women who enter on
this season of retreat totally helpless
from weakness, and skeletons, come
out strong, plump and rudy. When
the proper amount of plumpness is
gained, and the blood is red, dyspepsia,
Mysteries, and anemia disappear. We
cordially recommend nervous women to
look into this matter. They are to be
frank with them, rs heavy n weight on
the body polite as any rioters or
communists.

Something About the Great Trees OF
Far.Off California.
[The Lumbernan

The redwood tree is popularity of
California forests. Oregon, in all her
splendid groves has none of it, DOR can
Nevada boast of single one. The sober
shores of the great inland sea of Wash
ington Territory arc also without it, nor
does Alaska boast of solitary sentinel
of the family of gigantic evergreens. 1t
belongs to the Golden State alone, and a
distinctive resource of her fast accumu-
lating wealth. No other lumber splits
so true to the grain, and none can sup
plant it as perfectly in the uses to which
it is now being devoted. For fence posts
and railroad ties il is the most durable
wood ever found, resisting the action of
both air and water with unparalleled sta
bility. Below San Francisco 1t il COM
paratively scarce, Santa Cruz and San
Mateo being the only counties which
have an average growth of it. And the
rapid improvement of elegant farms in
those counties is fast thinning out the
towering forests. But on the north
coast there is wealth enough to last for
years, but the question is, how will these
forests be replaced when they are
thinned out by the Unsuitable demands
of a growing commerce? In japan a
man who cuts down tree must plant
another in its stead but no such strin-
gent legislation prevails in this country.
Sonoma, MendocinO and Humboldt
counties employ thousands of men, and
are building up substantial prosperity
from their redwood. Deserted logging
camps are soon converted into dairy
farms, and the once nomadic tramps who
swung the ak in the silent woods, settle
down TO grow up with the country adj
yancing toward Opulence.

lost youth, that / may live a different
life from the one / have SO long pur-
suedp But it was too late now to make
moan. His father and his youth had
gone together There the poor bewil-
dered creature stands, blinded with tears,
but still beseeching Heaven to give him
back his youth once more. Few specta-
cles are more terrible to contemplate
than the broken-down figure of that
weeping old man, lamenting that he can
not be young again, fer then he would
lead life 80 different from the one he
had lived.
But what thrill of pleasure follows
the sad picture We have been cOntem-
plating when we are told it was only a
fearful dream that certain young man
was passing through, vision only OF
possible degradation, and that Heaven
had taken this method of c0unseling the
youth to turn aside from the allurements
that might beset his path, and thus be
spared the undyiDg remorse that would
surely take possession of him when he
grew to be man, if he gave way to self.
Indulgence and those wandering idle
ways that lead to error and oftentimes to
vice and crime. The misery of life to
be avoided was thus prefgured, and the
young man awoke to thank Heaven II
was only dream, and resolve 30 to spend
Gods great gift Of time that no horror,
such as he had suffered that night in
sleep, should ever arise to haunt his
waking hours.
JoEY.-A Maltese spaniel, named
joey, was wary and careful Watchdog
He would not 60 to sleep If any door
was left unfastened at night, or even
the shutters of the garden door open.
But one rough, windy, cold night in
midwinter, the family thought him
sorely wanting in courage.
1t was about midnight, when l0ut
noise, a rush and bang, awoke every
one in the house.
A thorough search was made, bu
nothing could be found different from
usual, and no traces of a robber could b.
seen. Every door and window wa
fastened.
Joey utterly refused to help in tn
search. He had jumped into his baske
almost directly after he was reused, ant
seemed to think the matter was no
worthy notice.
He was taken out and put into tn
garden, but he sat down and would no
move q step.
The family laughed and scolded him
"Joey is a coward" "JOey is lazy.
"Joey is no use for Watchdog"
The next morning, they noticed tina
the old-fashioned tall clock did not strik
the hours as usual. The cord ha
broken, letting the weight fall.
This was what had resounded thrOug
the house, and the dog knew there wa
no danger or trouble, and no reason
