OBSCURE LITERATURE. 1T is graft
tying to see a step is being taken BY
the press Of the country to suppress
an evil that has been sapping the very
foundation Of the youth Of the coun-
try, n the traffic Of obscure literature.
That ably conducted journal, the
Laigrdry World, in an article on the
subject says: mo literary critic, in
bis service of the public, has any right
70 separate literature and morals, any
more than any art critic in his
service Of the public has
any right to separate art
and morals. Art and literature, con-
sldered BY themselves, are ode thing;
considered in relation to the public
good they are quite another; and
when the critic passes out of his posi-
ton as 9 mere inspector to his func-.
ton as an adviser, he assumes respon-
sibiIities in which the moral question
holds no unimportant place."
The foregoing paragraph strikes up
on the old controversy as to the IN
expediency Of placing before the gen.
eral public works Of art and literature
where things that are averse to mod
ern ideas OF propriety are yelled IN
der the classic" guise. 1t is seldom
that we have seen the truth in regard
70 this matter SO tersely put as 10 the
sentences above quote.

ANNA DICKINSON.

1t has rarely been the good fortune
of lola to be favored with the presence
of so great a celebrity as Miss Anna
Dickinson, and.lt has rarely been our
good fortune to listen to q better lecture
than she gave at the Opera House last
Monday evening. Her subject, the
story of the Maid of Orleans, is one et
the most interesting as it is one Of the
most pathetic stories in history, and it
lost nothing either in interest or pathos
by Miss Dickinson's treatment. The
lecture was eloquently written and was
delivered with great dramatic force
and effect. holding the closest attention
of the audience for an hour aud half.
In personal appearance Miss Dickinson
is quite attractive being little above
the medium height, possessing a fine
figure and very strong and expressive
face. She was simply but elegantly
dressed and her only discernible mark
of "strong mindedness" was the fact
that she wore her hair short and parted
on one side. On the whole we think
that both lecturer and lecture fully sat
isfied the expectations of the large
audience that crowded the hall.
Thanks to the thoughtfulness of Mrs.
Mrs. DeClute and Miss Lola
Smeltzer the stage was handsomely
with flowers and presented
q very attractive appearance.

!" Will you kindly inform us by return
mail whether you and the other leaders
Of the League, approve of and endorse
the course taken by the C0urant In the
land question:" The card was written
with view to ascertaining whether
the Cburant told the truth when 1t
said that its +" course was approved by
the leaders of both parties'. From
the fact that we have received no reply
to the above, and from the fact that
the party to whom 1t was addressed
evidently consulted the editor Of the
Cburdnt with regard to it, We presume
that the latter did tell'the truth when
1t said that the leaders of the League
approved its course. But we also
addressed precisely similar card to
the secretary of the Tax payers Union,
and have received from him the follow.
ing reply;

Dear Sirs Yours of May 9Th re-
.ceived Saturday night, and in reply
would say that I do not endorse the
course taken by the COurdnt and do
not know of a member of the Union
that does. 1 think the course taken
by the Courdnt is cOwardly one. II
stands ready to hurrah let the case
60 as it may, and when the case Is de-
cided, to take the strong side, II that
side is popular. admire the course ol
the Interstate more than do that OF
the Courdnt because it Is a m anly one
and the people know where to find 1t
and are saved the trouble of looking
on both sides Of the fence. I admire
an enemy's courage il he will come
out and show his colors, but II he
wears the garb of friendship 1 have
no respect for him.

"I.ets go, Joe" whispered Chauncey
again. h I
Joe picked up his hat, but with a
grit worthy professional interviewer
made one last sally.
"But there is one point that you
will surely permit me to mention-a
point that would awaken the interest,

tl,lsiasm, ofour people. 1t has been
stated that you have the handsoinest
feet of any woman living" Here
Anna relaxed. her eyebrows, pulled
one foot under cover, and was per-
ceptibly softened. Joe's spirits rose
and the body gaurd braced up. "Sure-
" you will permit me to make some
delicate aud touching allusion to..those
Cinderella extremities ? Surely you
will grant me this ?"
"Yes, Joe."
The hobby was touched. They
left. The gentle Anna turned over,
and returned again to the arms of
Morpheus.
But after all, Joe forgot about the
feet i'm the'excitement of the introduce
tory performance and some say that
is the reason Anna hustled him off
the stage with that cold gray eye OF
hers.

Bad Air.

When person has remained for AN
ventilated room or railroad car, the
system is already contaminated to a
greater OF less extent by breathing air
vitiated by exhalations from the lungs,
bodies, and clothing of the occupants.
The immediate effect of these pOisOns
is to debilitate, to lower vitality, and
to impair the natural power of the sys-
TEN to resist disease. Hence it is that
persons who are attacked by intiamma
tory diseases, as pneumonia or rheu-
matism, can generally trace the be-
ginning of the disease to chill felt on
coming out of a crowded room into the
cold or damp air, wearing, perhaps,
thin shoes and insufficient clothing
If these facts were generally under
stood and acted upon, thousands of
lives might be saved every year. 1t is
a well known fact that men who scamp
OUT sleeping on the ground at all
seasons of the year, seldom have pneu-
monia, aud that rheumatism, with
them, comes, as rule, only from I'M
warrantable imprudences. These are
two facts that should be learned by
every person capable of approaching
them, and they should never be lost
sight of for a moment. One is that ex-

compelled to reinhale it unmixed with
the oxygen of the air, it would prove
as destructive to life as the fumes of
charcoal. This is an enemy that is
always present in force, in assemblies
of people, and only constant and free
infusion of fresh air prevents it from
diately apparent. The other fact is
that pure air is the antidOte to this
poison. The oxygen of the air is the
greatest of all purifiers. Rapid streams
of water that pass through large cities,
receiving the sewage, become pure
again through the action of the all

Castor Oil for Shoe Leather.

There is one simple article which
will render any decently made boot
thoroughly impervious. 1t is nothing
more nor less than cold drawn castor
oil, ''pure and simple" 1t is best APP
piled before moderate fire. The
boots to be dressed should be quite
clean and dry, and special care should
be given to the welt and the tongues,
and their stitching to the upper leath
ers. generally begin by pouring the
oil from the bottle all around the welt
so that the angle between the sole and
upper leather is quite filed with oil,
and then proceed all over the boot, in
Guiding the edges of the soles, rubbing
it in with the hand. When one is
done, have a turn at the other, and so
alternately till you have got in about
a tablespoonful and half i'll each boot.
The tongues, being thinner leather,
should be quite saturated. Subsequent
dressing will not require so much oil.
L have never found anything to touch
this as waterproof dressing; the
gelatinous oil seems to effectually stop
every pore in the leather. There is
another advantage for those who are
natty in such matters-the boots soon
will take "A good Common blacking)

he likes, waterproof his ordinary
walking boots for bad weather without
