The Masau,n. Of tn. Future.

I was spending an evening with one
of the New York magazine editors last
week and the conversation turned upon
what the magazine of the future would
be. WELL" said my editorial friend,
sit will be the magazine which por-
trays contemporary life and incidents
more than any thing else. People are
getting tired of delving into the
Egyptian monoliths Of the past into
war history, or deep and dry analysis
of the dead poets The public clamor
/ find from the letters which reach mo
is for more of our everyday life in
literature. What do / man? Short
stories with modern characters, with
scenes laid in familiar places; poems
which have more human everyday in.
terest than literary merit; articles which
treat of life perplexities. This is the
demand, and have noticed that where
there is contemporary coloring interest
in our stories People seem to want the
times in which they are living brought
before them in their reading; they want
to recognize the places and people they
read about, and all along the line 10
rising demand for this class Of read
ing. Ana the growth of this feeling, as
! notice it from letters which our read
ers write us, makes me believe that the
magazine of the future is the one which
keeps closest to modern times. incidents
and characters. Edward w. Box.

An Illustration

OF the value of extensive and judicious ad-
vertising Of any article of undoubted merit
is found in the remarkable success OF the
CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co., which has been
phenomenal, even in this age OF great enter
prises.
Organized few years ago to manufact-
ure a laxative with original and attractfve 9
features, prepared from delicious fruits and
health giving plants, one which would be
pleasant and refreshing to the taste, as well
as really beneficial to the system, the man
agement very wisely concluded to select the
leading newspapers throughout the United
States 10 make known to the public the
merits of the new remedy, Syrup of Figs.
AS happens with every valuable remedy,
cheap substitutes are being offered, but 1t Is
becoming more difficult each day to impose
on the public. Health is too important to be
trifled with, and reputable druggists will
not attempt to deceive, as they all know
that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. of San Francisco,

in this journey of life, who would have
been broken down or dead long
ago but for the sustaining and cheer
ing help of our holy religion!
So we say-"Come!' The well is
not dry. The buckets are not empty.
The supply is not exhausted. There is
just as much mercy and coincidence and
soothing power in God as before the
first grave was dug, or the first tear
started, or the first heart broken, or
the first accident happened, or the first
fortune vanished. Those of who have
felt the consolatory power of religion
have a right to speak out of our own
experiences, and say-"Come ~
What dismal work of coincidence the
world makes when it attempts to con-
dole! The plaster they spread does not

lost in the snow-storm on a prairie in
the far West. Night coming on, and
after he was almost frantic from not
knowing which way to go, his sleigh
struck the rut of another sleigh, and he
said: ''I will follow this rut, and it will
take me out to safety" He fastened
on until he heard the bells of the preced-
ing horses, but, coming up, he found
that that man was also lost, and, as is
the tendency of those who are thus con-
fused in the forest or on the moors,
they were both moving in a circle
and the runner of the one lost
sleigh was following the runner
of the other lost sleigh round
and round. At last it occurred to
them to look at the north star, which
was peering through the night, and by
the direction of that star they got home
again. Those who follow the advice of
this world in time of perplexity are in
fearful round, for it is one bewildered
soul following another bewildered soul,
and only those who have in such time
got their eye on the morning star OF our
Christian faith can find their way out,
or be strong enough to lead others with
an all-persuasiye invitation.
But" says some one, you Christian
people keep telling us to come, yet you
do not tell us how to come" That

Milk as Human Food.

Milk is one OF the most valuable and
economical articles for human food.
Estimated at twelve pounds per COW
daily, the United States produce the
bewildering amount OF one hundred
and fifty billions ofpounds ofmilk per
year. And as three pounds OF milk
are equivalent to one pound OF beet
in food elements, each inhabitant has
in milk one and half beeves annual
ly. Whereas, in beef, each inhabitant
has only four-fifths OF one beef per
capita. That, as rule, our people
not engaged in severe manual labor
consume too much meat, there can be
no doubt. Milk, then, will here prove
an article OF healthful nourishment, a
lack OF which predisposes to the harm

A PORTUGUESE COURTSHIP.
Laborious Process by Which an
Acquaintance Is Achieved,

Laborious Process by Which an
Acquaintance Is Achieved.
The Portuguese are Representative
in their ideas of the position OF women
in society, and they got their ideas
from their Moorish masters in bygone
centuries. Consequently girls lead a
very shut-in life; they go regularly to
mass on Sunday mornings and take
occasional walks during the week, AL
ways accompanied by one or two
chaperons. Young men never call at
the house, and if they did would not be
admitted Except on business" This
strictness leaves but one way open for
an Interchange ofsentiments, and that
is the window, and it is quite the thing
to make use of it. Itisnot considered
ill-bred to stare in Portugal; a man
may stare at a girl he does not know as
long as he likes; he must not do so to
a girl he has been introduced to unless
she gives him some encouragement by
returning his glances. Agirl will sit at
her window all the afternoon looking
into the street, and her adorer from
the street looks at her, and this is so
much the custom that it attracts no
attention from the passers-by. From
looks they proceed to bows, to smiles,
to a few words, then he follows her to
church, finds if she is going to the the
alter, and goes too, serenades her with
his guitar on moonlight nights, and fin
ally an offer to her father. Heis then re-
ceived by the family, and allowed to
come to the house in a quiet way till
the wedding, and after that the young
couple usually live either with her
parents or with his, and the even
tenor Of their life continues.
