They are building gloriously for

money, men of thrift and worth,
money accustomed to enterprise

better of their state, and will be
stimulated to renewed efforts. New
avenues of employment for energy
and capital will be opened mp, and

Little do mothers think of the in
fluence which they are exercising
over their children for good or i'll.
These children look to mothers as
the pattern of all perfection and il
mother is nota christian why should
they be. But if mother is trying
to serve the lord faithfully that
fact is a reason why the child
should follow in her footsteps. Let
mothers be faithful and their chill
dren will not be likely to linger out
side the narrow gaze.
How sad must be the thought of
a mother who finds that her exam
pie has led her children away from
the path of life and caused them to
think that the service of the lord is
a matter of little importance to
them. Hew blessed, on the other
hand, it must be for mother to so
guide her children that they shall
enter the paths of peace and truth
and rise up t. call her blessed in
the great day.-The Armory.

The way it is prepared is as
follows: "Cut the lemon very fine,

and boil to a half-pint, then strain
and bottle for use. Dose for a man,
tablespoonful just before each

used when quinine and arsenic have

physician says he has been using
it exclusively 10 place of quinine a
year, and has never failed in a sin

an empty stomach at least an hour
before eating. If the stomach will

LITERARY NOTES.


the Editors Study in Harper's-
the new editorial department alb
sorbing the Literary Recorder
the first time in the January num-
Der. As Mr.. Curtis has entertain
ed Harper readers for years from
the Easy Chair with his chats about
social matters, and Mr.. Warner, for
the past two years, has spread be-
fore them pleasant causerie of hu-
NOR, so Mr.. Howela will talk chatti-
| ly to them about matters in general.
Mr.. Curtis himself, in his new
years greetings, rises from the
Easy Chair to open for the gentle
reader 'the door which admits him
to the Editors Study-a room
which he has not yet seen before;
an apartment designed for his de-
light, as the Easy Chair is intended
for his repose, a retreat in which
his wakefulness will be as refresh
ing as his slumbers in his CHAIR.
The genius loci who welcomes him,
he adds, pleasantly, sis but one
whom the guest has ignorantly
worshipped, but whose fine and
penetrating power has at once
charmed his fancy and touched his
character and refined his life.'
*#*
Mr.. Howells himself, in welcom-
ing his new guests within the door
of the Editors Study in the Janua
ry Harper's, prefaces his chat with
a description of the study itself-no
mere narrow den Of Grub street ira
ditions, but a superb room of orien
tai magnifcence, san American
architects adaptation of a design
by the poet Ariosto, who, for rea-
sons of economy, built himself q
very small house in a back street
in Ferrara, while he lavished his
palaces on the readers of his poetry
at no expense to himself" The
windows of fawless plate, he tells
as, look out upon the continent wa
tiers of the Hudson and the Charles,
with the Mississippi in the middle
distance, in the background the
Thames, the Tiber, and the Seine,
and the peaks Of the Apennines and
of the Sierras for vanishing points.
In this remarkable room the read
er's appetite is thus whetted to the
promised chat about books-pro
viding he does not interrupt the ed
itor while he is talking; ga sort of
free parliament, but for the presid-
ing officer only; symposium of
one"

Mr.. Moncure ID. Conway, W no

speare's pail bearer" said to be
buried in Fredericksburg, Va. Sure
enough, under Mr.. Conway's keen
observations he vanished into a
NTH, and Mr.. Conway tells in
the January Harper's the story of
his search and its satisfactory re-
suit is nothing.

Mortality in the South.

By many unacquainted with the
facts, the south is looked upon as
an unhealthy country, except in
some few sections, which have at
tracted attention as health resorts
That the death-rate in the south,
Notwithstanding the high rate of
mortality among the negroes, partly
on account of their manner of living
is much lower than in the north, is
fact which is doubtless known to
very few people. Let us take the
rate of mortality in leading north
ern and southern states, and com
pare them in order to form a cor
rect idea of the salubrity of the
south. The total deaths in proper

mortality per 1000 is 1870 against
205 in England, 26.1 in Germany,
1916 in France, 1916 in Austria and
305 in Italy. The lesson of all this
is that the United States is the
healthiest country in the world, land
of the United States the healthiest
part is the south. In making an es-
innate of the healthfulness of the
south we must consider the greater
mortality of the colored people than
the whites, and thus reduce the av-
erage of white mortality to that ex-
tent. Ia the southern states men

Desperate Thieves.

Last Friday evening Mir. George H. Judd, of Wilcox, went out to see his father, who is living on his ranch, about eighteen miles from Wilcox. On ap. preaching the house he discovered that the door had been broken open, and an examination revealed the fact that some one had ransacked the place, carrying of everything of value, including the wearing apparel of MT. Judd. A search of the premises was made and the tracks of two or more parties were discovered. MT. Judd mounted his horse and started in pursuit. The Mexicans, for such they proved to be, were overtaken at the top of the divide, in the very act of donning the clothing stolen from the house. Mir. ]. ordered them to surrender, at the same time drawing his revolver, but they were too quick for him. They turned loose a broadside and broke for the hills. A searching party was soon organized and started out with the intention of over. taking the thieves, but up to date no news as to their whereabouts has been obtained.
