CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
What " St. Nicholas Has Done For Boys an
Girls

Victor Hugo calls this 1.-THE woman's cen
tury" and he might have added that it is the
children's century as well. for never before in
the worlds history has so much thought been
pictures and their toys. Childhood, as we I'M
derstand it, is a recent discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the st. Nicholas
Magazine seventeen years ago literature and
children'S magazines were almost contradictory
terms, but the new periodical started out with
the idea that nothing was too good for children;
the result has been a juvenile magazine genuine
with conscientious puPpOse,-the greatest writ
engravers helribg to heautify it,-and every
thing tuned to the keynote of youth.
1t has been the special aim of st. Nicholas to
supplant unhealthy literature with stories Of a
take fascinating bad literature out of boys
hands, and give them in its place Mrs. Barbauld
and Peter Farley, or the work Of writers who
think that any :" good y" talk will do for child
ing. with the blood and snew OF real life in it.
reading that will waken them to closer obSer-
walton of the best things about them.
In the seventeen years Of its life st. Nicholas
also elevated the tone of contemporary child
ren's literature well. Many Of its stories, like
Mrs Burrett's s. Little Lord Fauntleroy," have
become classic. 1t is not too much to say that
almost every notable young peoples story now
produced in America first seeks the light in the
pages of that magazine.
The year 1891 will prove once more that " no
household where there are children Is complete
without st, Nicholas J. T. Trowbridge, Noah
Brooks, Charles Dudley W arner, and many we'll
known writers are to contribute during this
coming year. One cannot put the spirit OF st.
Nicholas into a PROSPECTUS, but the publishers
are glad to send a full announcement of the
features for 1891 and single sample copy to the
address of any person mentioning this notice.
The magazine costs $500 a year. Address The
Century Co., 80 East 18th ST., New York.

A few years ago The Century about doubled
it's circulation with the famous War Papers, by
General Grant and others, adding many more
readers later with the Lincoln History and
Kennan's thrilling articles on the Siberian Exile
System. One great feature of 1891 Is to be

From ST. Joseph HOspital

young girl here had been suffering
for 10 years with Blood Diseases until
she had lost the use of her limbs, and
was subject to- many troubles incident
to the disease. The physicians declared
her case incurable, and predicted that
her life would come to a speedy end.
After taking S. S. S. she recuperated so
fast that it was plain that she had OBJ
tanned a new lease on life, and she has
continued to grow better until her per-
manent cure is assured. Many other
patients in our hospital have obtained
signal benefit from S. S. S., and it has
become quite favorite in our house.

SKOWHECAN LOCALS

There are quite a number of visitors in
town now from the cities. and quite mum
Der of the towns people have gone to the
sea shore.
Edward Fuller, attorney at Law, and wife
of Duluth, MINI, are in town for the sum
mer. Mr.. Fuller was formerly Skowhe-
gan boy, son of Judge W. II. Fuller.
c. II. Atkinson returned from his up
river trip Saturday, and he has = few four
story fish yarns to tell his friends. 1t is
reported that he caught two hornpouts, one
sucker, q wetting and bear, but we don't
know whether this will bear investigation
or not. He took refuge from the gale in a
small barn, and that was blown about four
feet from its original position and in about
an hour from then he broke an axle of his
carriage and had to walk to the nearest
settlement. Nothing like taking vacation.
Skovhegan has genius in the person of
James II. Colway. His last invention is a
clock, an imitation of Notre Dame Ca.he-
drar clock. 1t is seven feet, ten inches
high and contains three thousand pieces.
being made of different kinds of wood in
their natural color. and is all scroll work
1t is three stories high, and the clock work
is in the upper story. Every fifteen min
ute. the Apostles appear and bow before
the Savior, but the fourth one, which rep
resents Peter, turns his back upon his
Savior and the cock crows and the devil
comes out and blows a trumpet in honor Of
Of Peter. The second story is in the form
OF house with double doors, and every
fifteen minutes Lazarus appears at the doors
and goes through the motion of throwing
crumbs from the rich mans door to the
poor, and dogs come out and lick his sores
Mr.. CoIway has been at work on this clock
more than two years. lie had the clock on
exhibition hero Saturday afternoon and
evening. Mr.. Colwsy is quite a musical
genius beside as he plays on most every
kind of musical instrument. lie is quite a
band in himself, as he can play FIVE instru-
mente at once.
