CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
What "St. Nicholas has Done for Bays
and Girls.

Victor Hugo calls this "the woman's century,
and he might have added that it is the children's
century as we'll, for never before in the worlds
history has so much thought beeu paid to chill
dren-their schools, their books. their pictures,
and their toys. Childhood, rs we I'LL derstaud it,
is a recent discovery.
Up to the time Of the issue of the st. Nicholas
Magazine seventeen years ago literature and
chldren's magazines were almost contradictory
terms, but the new period cal started out with
the idea that nothing was too good for children
the result has been n juvenile magazine genuine

The "Fire Kings" Trick.

A writer in an English fire paper says
the showmen who perform such wonderful
tricks, and announce themselves as fire
kings" and as being fireproof, are enabled
to perform their seeming miracles by using
an ointment made by dissolving two ounces
of camphorin four ounces of aqua vitae, and
then adding two ounces of liquid storax
and two ounces of quicksilver. Two ounces
of hematis, beaten into a powder and mixed
with the above ingredients, completes the
preparation. This mixture when rubbed
on the hands makes it possible for the oper-
ator to grasp a redhot iron and bend it
double without the least danger. Rubbed
on the bare feet it enables one to dance on
redhot irons without even as much as a dis
coloration of the skin.

Prof Sprague Fills the Bill,

The Grand Forks Plaindealer thinks the
recent statement of the TRIBUNE regard
ing the corrupt practices in the election of
United States senators, too sweeping. 1t
says that there are states that have elected
without the expense of a dollar in
the shape Of Doodle. Vermont, for in
stance. Justin S. Morrill, did not buy his
way to the fifth term. There are other
honorable exceptions. There will be can
didates before the legislature this winter
who will not offer, and whose friends will
not offer, money for votes. If the "condi-
ton is shameful" in heavens name, let it
be changed! Let the "boodle'' candidate
stay at home and elect the honest man
and so keep North Dakota at the head of
the roll Of honor of the western states.

Revolution in Diamond Mining,

A writer on the subjec4 of the dimond
supply of the world, which is steadily in
creasing. and which can be regarded as an
index of how much of its surplus earnings
it can afford to spend yearly in this partic-
ular form of luxury, says that the romance
of diamond mining is all gone. 1t is now
a matter of ~excavating vast beds of blue
clay by machinery, washing it and sitting
out the diamonds, which. after being
roughly sorted for size, are sold in bulk by
weight. The men who do the work are
mere laborers, and their pay is proportion
ately small.-New York Commercial Ad-
vortiser.

A Gard From President Sprague.

Several of my most valued friends, some
of them generally recognized as leaders of
American thought, have for years repeat
eddy requested me to take active steps to
secure a nomination and election to the
national senate. Prominent newspapers
of the states where 1 have lived, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York, Califor-
mia and North Dakota, as well as others in
Minnesota, Illinois, Vermont, Missouri,
etc., have also fav0rably mentioned my
name in that connection. My position on
the subject having been publicly misrepre-
sented, it is proper that I should state my
attitude in declining to comply with the
aforesaid request.
1. Of course I would like to be senator;
but. as parties and factions are now consti-
tuted and manipulated, the eager pursuit
of an Office so sacred and responsible, by
the only. methods likely to be successful,
seems to be presumptive if not conclusive
evidence that the aspirant is not fit for it.
2. If it were rendered me in honorable
fashion, without other pledge than that 1
should, to the best Of my ability, faithfully
serve my state and the nation, I should
gladly accept. But
8. To obtain it, l can engage in no
scramble, no intrigue, no flattery, DO bar
gain, no fight; shall neglect n duty, make
votes, pull no wires, promise no office or
no lies. I am not for sale.

One of the most interesting of the public
institutions of the country is the "National
college for the deaf" located in Washing
ton City. The president is DR.. E. M.
Gallandet-and its pupils are from every
state in the union. The course of study is
similar to that Of Yale and Harvard, and
the proficiency attained by the students,
who are all either wholly, or partially deaf
lin Latin, French, German, Greek and
the higher mathematics, is said to be
truly wonderful.
There's a patent medicine which is not a
patent neutrality-suspicious. as that may
sound. It's a discovery! the golden discov-
cry of medical science! It's the medicine
for %you-tired, rundown, exhausted, nerve
wasted men and women; for you sufferers
from diseases of skin or scalp, liver or
lungs-its chance is with every one, its
season always, because it aims to purify
the fountain of life-the blood-upon
Which all such diseases depend. The
medicine is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. The makers of have enough
confidence in it to sell it on trial. That is
you can get it from your druggist. and If
it doesn't do what it's claimed to do. you
can get your money back, every cent of it.
That's what its makers call taking the
risk of their words.
