 Never has publication so thor oughly carried out the true meaning ol Family Magazine as does Demorest's Monthly. It seems to be the aim to make it indispensable in every house. hold. The January number, which has just arrived, still farther carries out this idea, having added new department "Our Girls" which will show this portion of the family sssome ways ct getting the best out of our life." The Household" department is not merely a series of receipts, but is full of prac- tical suggestions. A prize is here of fered for the best series of menus for the separate days of the week; and un- der the head of 'tHome Art and Home Comfort" another prize Is offered "for the most practical suggestion of remu- neratlve work for women, to be dsne at home." Many women will watch anxiously to seeawhat this offer will bring forth, as information on this point is just what they are looking for. The new story. "Allan Quartermain ; or, A Browning City" by II. Rider Hazard, author Of "She," "King Sol omon's Mines," etc., etc., needs no comment, the worldwide reputation of this author being sufficient. The other stories are ofa higher order, and the continued article of "Jennie June'' ("Across the continent'') is very inter- csting. 'sThe Modern Pontius Pilate, by the Editor, w. Jennings Demorest, showing moral cowardice of the people In their treatment of the liquor-trafllc, cannot fail to be read with much inter- est. The publisher may well be proud. Published by w.

Diseases from . mOkIug,

A writer in the British Medical
Journal" after referring to the disa-
greement among surgeons as, to
whether smoking may be the Inn
mediate cause Of cancer, remarks
that there is a condition Of the
tongue which, in many cases. is the
precursor of epithelioma-nameIy ;
"leucoplakia," and this disease is
more generally considered to be caus-
ed by smoking. The fact is pointed
out that, among seventy five recorded
case all but four were smokers. One
authority has shown that leucoplakia
may be the starting point of epithe-
lioma, and out of the above mentioned
number of cases forty-four developed
epithelioma, and in one only was.
there q family histoy Of cancer. An
other authority states that out Of
ffty.fve cases of cancer OF the tongue
about one-fourth had been the seat Of
leucoplakia.

A Costly Way of Raising the Value of One
The following amusing story Is related
by the Paris Rappel:
The greatest Joy OF the bibliomaniac,
tho only one In fact. Is TO possess book
OF which there u not another copy ex-
tant An Engllshman who had abun-
dant wealth land there are more English
blbliOmaniacs than all the rest put to-
gefherl owned q little volume, very rare,
and the only one as he thought OF that
edition In existence.
All at once he learned that there was
q second cory in Paris, and he forthwith
filled his pocketbook with bank notes,
started across the Channel. and arrived
at the house Of his sriyal." After the
usual compliments, he said:
Monsieur. you possess Q copy Of such
and such O work."
Yes monsieur. it Is In my library.
Here It is. IL you would like to see 1t.
Il will give you 900 francs for it.
Monsieur. do not trade in books.
Five thousand francs, then?"
am asbonished monsieur"
Ten Thousand francs:"
"But repeat
"Fifteen thousand francs?"
. Monsieur"
Twenty thousand francs?"
Before such inaistance it would be
tmpolite TO refuse you. Monsieur, the
book is youns."
The Englishman had won. He count
cd out twenty bills of 1000 francs each
and took the book. The conversation
had taken place IN the library where an
open CRATE fire was burning.
The Englishman examined his pur-
chase carefully Then with q satisfac-
tion which he did not attempt to conceal
threw the book Into the fire. The
Frenchman thinking that his visitor was
insane, attempted to rescue the treasure.
The other prevented him, and added In
explanation:
Monsieur, / also possess copy OF
this work. 1t is the only one which
exists to-day. wish you good-morn-
