c. I. Hood 6 Co.,, the enterprising propri- etors of Hoods Sarsaparilla, are quite con- tent to make a thing of beauty an annual affair. Their third household calendar is the thing of beauty which will represent them and serve the public during the year 1SS8 The issue for 1888 was 3, ,10O,o ,o00. Undeubt- edly this is the largest number of single calendar ever sent out. It is difficult to give an adequate idea of the material and labor necessary to produce this enormous edition Over forty-five tons of paper were used in making the pads, and the printing ot them was done on seven different presses, all run ming st one time in 0. I. Hood & O. $ print ing department. The paper, if made in an unbroken line the width of the pad, would reach from Chicago to Boston, thence across the ocean to Liverpool and over the conti- nsnt to St. Petersburg. Barrels of eyelets and nearly one hundred miles of wire were consumed and forty persons were occu- pied four months in producing the three million calendars.
 Messrs o. I. Hood & Co. have taken an- other new departure in 1888 and have issued Hoods office calendar, magnificent in size and attractiveness. It is like the household calendar, only very much larger. Owing to it's very great cost the charge for the office calendar is twenty five cents sent by mail.
 Copies of the household calendar may be obtained at the drug stores or by sending six cents in stamps to o. I. Hood & Co.,, Lowell, Mass

The Doll Doctor of LeipsEc. 1r.,.- 4I., D.,ys,, u, s.ot.T,4A


 The denizens of Leipsic, young and old, mourn the loss of one of the most modest and retiring yet most skiilful operators, Frau Emma Friederike Schneider. better known as the ''dolI-doctor," who died there last week. For more than half century, ever since the death of her husband and child, this quaint, quiet and indefatigable woman has devoted her life and skill to the repairing and freshening up of dolls, in which occupation she has attained an incred- ible dexterity not only, but also won the hearts of the growing, as well as the grown generations of Leipsie. A visit to her ate Her was one of the sights of the city Those who were permitted to enter the sacred pre- cincts could only do 80 standing-chairs, ta- bles, the floor, the walls, in fact every avail able place was covered with sscripples" of both sexes, boys and girls in rags or entirely without habiliments, that lacked one or both eyes, one or both arms, or legs or feet, the 'innards, a nose, @ wig, or the half or whole of head, &c., and that were turned out as good as new by the quiet almost dwarfed little woman, to the delight of the juvenile possessors. Her sphere of usefulness was confined to Leipsic only-no outsiders need apply. Her loss will indeed be s'irreparabls" for long time to come

CarlyIe's Writings Not Inamortal. ITrnrr, RIattl,n.r- ..,oIxI


 Who are the great men of letterss They are men like Cicero, Plato, Bacon, Pascal, Swift, Voltaire-writers with, in the first place, genius and instinct for style;- writers whose prose is by kind of native necessity true and sound. It is curious thing, that quality of style which marks the great wri- ter, the born man of letters It resides in the whole tissue of his works, and of his work regarded as Q composition for literary purposes. Even Carlyle is not, in my judg- ment, to be called great writer; one cannot think of ranking him with men like Cicero and Plato, and Swift and voltaire. Elmer son freely promises to Carlyle immortality for his histories. They will not have it. Why? Because the materials furnished to him by that 'devouring eye'' of his and that "pertraying hand" were not wrought in and subdued by him ts what his work, re- garded as literary composition, required. Carlyle's sallies, as the staple of 8 literary work, became wearisome; and as time more and more applies to Carlyle,s works its strin- gent tests, this will be left more and more. Shakespeare, Moliere, Swift-they, too, like Carlyle, had the "devouring eye" and the 'sportraying hand" But they are great Ite- rary masters, they are supreme writers, be- cause they know how to work into literary composition their materials and to subdue them to the purposes of literary effect Car lyle is too wilful for that; too turbid, too ve- hement

rs. Edward -J. Sheehan,s Friends
 Stand by Her.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It may interest the public to learn that Mrs. Jennie B. Browne, who was said to have taken the initiatory step in welcoming Mrs. Edward J. Sheehan back to New Haven, does not stand alone in the position she has as- sumed towards the Howe-Sheehan affair. In as the real facts in the case come to light-presumably already known to Mrs. Browne-the former friends of Mrs. Sheehan make haste to assure her of their sympathy and continued friendship fer her. Her pros- pects for the future seem bright Mrs. Browne denies that she was otherwise instrumental in bringing about reconciliation ot the pair than by assuring her former friend that she should stand by her, whatever step she might deem it her duty to take in the matter. She believes Mir. Sheehan to be possessed of a good intellect and, herself Q musical com poser, has faith in his abilities and success
 h that direction.
