Too Late.
Perhaps Tennyson has written nothing
which appeals to the hearts of all who read
his poems more than the lyric of "Too Late"
The burden of the sud refrain comes home
with telling force to the hearts of those who
have lost friends by that dread disease -
consumption. They realize "too late" the
result of neglect. They feel that the dear
one might haye been saved ifthey had needed
the warning of the hacking cough. the pallid
cheek, and weakening system. They feel
this all the more keenly because they see
Others being rescued from the grasp Of the
destroyer and they think what IN saving
others might haye saved their loved one.
When the first signal of danger is seen, take
steps to avert the catastrophe. BE wise in
time. DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery
will drive away consumption. Do not wait
until too late before putting its wonderful
efficacy to the test, 1t succeeds where other
remedies fail.
Very well informed people have but little
conception Of the ten great railways. whose
network of rails covers the United States
several of them have length Of more than
ten thousand miles each How these sys.
tens came TO exist in their present vast
dimensions, the territory which they cover,
the causes winch have led to their develop
ment, and their future possibilities and prob,
abilities, will form the subject of a series of
papers which will appear in She Cosmopolitan
Magaztne The first of this series is by Pres
iicnt Plant the head of the extensive Plant
system of Railways and Steamers, and ap
pears in the October issue of the COSMOPOLITAN,
covering the system Of railways cast OF the
Allcghanics and south of the Potomac.
II it were possible to shut all the strong
interest of the month between the light
covers of monthly magazine, the October
Cosmopolitan would dc it. As usual, the II
Illustrations are more numerous and varied in
character than those of the other leading
magazines; the articles are as short and rs
much to the point IS Is consistent with liter
airy finish; and one has the sense ola vigorous
and newly appreciative grasp even of sub.
jects which in themselves are familiar. Per
haps this quality of vigor and freshness is
most conspiciously displayed IN three articles
contributed by Henry Cabot Lodge, john A,
Cockerl and Murat Halstcad, of which
the themes are, respectively, "As to Certain
Accepted Heroes ;""Phases of contemporary
Journalism" and Liberal tendencies in Erl-
rope" In these, we venture to say, the
reader will find new thought, in phrase that
cuts its way and insists on being quoted.
But, after all, this strong individuality is
noticed throughout the current number, in
about the degree which the public has learned
to.eXpect.
