as young, vigorous and valuable as in its
earliest years. The issue for October lst.

volume and appears in an entirely new
dress. Its old, familiar, drab- -colored cov-
ers remain unchanged, but its interior has
been transformed. With new, clear, and
handsome type, and the great improve
ment noticeable in its general makeup"
with its excellent paper and fine press
work, it compares favorably with any 9TH

ever characterized itscontents, The Licing
Age must prove an even more delightful
and desirable visitor than ever, and enter
its Year of Jubilee under highly encourag-
ing prospects.

eral reader by any other publication in ex-
istence. 1t presents every side of the
writing world. scientific. philosophic. his
toric, didactic. critical. statistical, poetic,

ly issue, and with q satisfactory complete

of its bound volumes is master of varie-
ty of reading which in quality and quanti-
ty has rarely been equalled.

Thanksgiving.

flushed as the silence that follows praise
Is the mystic peace of the autumn haze.
That soft and mellow and touched with gold,
wraps hill and vale In its lustrous fold.
Here and there by the sunshine kissed
To violet. amber and amethyst,
From the meadows shorn and the woodlands
We've heard the last OF the wild birds call.
We've watched the loose leaves futter and
fall:
There are empty nests on the naked bough.
There's dream of snow on the mountains
brow.
The summers work is over and done,
And the brown fields sleep In the waning sun;
Fruit Of the harvest is gathered in.
And grain is heaped both In barn and bin.
And up from homes that are richly blest,
lowered with abundance and crowned with
rest,
And up from hearts that in highest mood
The lowiest bow in their gratitude,
Anthems arise to the Giver OF all,
Whose love beholds if a sparrow fall,
Whose mstcbless grace on the earth bath
smiled.
Like parents look on Graded child.
From near and far. as the household bands
Cluster and clasp in the best of lands,
That aye in the wash OF the silver sea
Hears the lofty music OF liberty,
That still where its mighty rivers flow
Sees peace and learning and progres. grow
From near and far TO the God above
Are lifted the strains of nations love.
And even from those who must SIT apart
In the glimmeriDg twilight OF the heart,
Whose hopes hsyc faded. whose dear ones lie
With pale hands crossed meath the autumn
sky.
Because there is healing after strife.
And conquering faith in the better life
fall.
There ascends psalm to the Lord OF all.

Lady Somerset's Address at Denver.

When l look at this beautiful sunshine
and snowcapped hills and see this city ris-
ing from the barren plains. all seems TO
have magic charm. We are fighting q
battle in England, battle in earnest, to
which all others used to be skirmishes; we
used TO go out on the highways, but to-
day We are walking and marching in an
other line where the evil is greater. The
last election divided the sheep from the
goats; the liquor interests were overpow-
cred by great moral power. The last cleo
tion was one of the greatest triumphs; all
the liquor men were arrayed against US,
but we returned to power the temperance
party.
1t was difficult to leave the old country,
but when one bowed with SORROW came to
me, woman who has done more for the
temperance cause than any other woman,
knowing that one coming from afar gives
novelty to convention, came and meet
you here in this bright. new land. The
union has been scoffed at by the educated,
Knocked and scorned by politicians, and its
workers called cranks, but it has been
blessed by prayers from homes, uplifted
by holy hands and by the gospel Of peace.
And to-day it raises its head triumphant
above all. and this convention brings proof
OF what God can do.
If there is feature Of this age, it is
woman's age.
Your work has inspired the women in
the old world to do as you have done.
There are none who have suffered as wom-
en-, no eyes have shed more bitter tears !;
what wonder is there that God has raised
up woman to overcome woman's greatest
enemy? If woman shall do this justice
shall ha dnno har Tho sfofo has haan
amiss. Demand that the mothers and
fathers voice be heard alike in the man
agement of the state. l believe in the max
i'm, 1.-THE government is for the people, by
the people, of the people," but now it is Z
mockery. You have divided it and it will
never be true until side by side, hand in
hand. men and women guide the affairs of
state.
believe that day is coming. There will
be no progress, no reform measures, till
woman's voice be heard.

Animal Sense of Humor.

remember, In description of India or
Ceylon some forty years ago, a story of
an Englishman who had a monkey. Look
ing out of the window ohe day, he saw his
cook getting fowl ready for boiling.
while the monkey lay on the ground, sham
ming death, and party of crows stood at
a little distance, divided between the desire
for the kitchen ofial and the fear of the
possibly shamming monkey. One crow
more adventurous than the rest, came
within the magic distance, and was in
stantly in the clutch of the monkey. At
the same moment, the cook, having finish
ed trussing the fowl, put it into the pot
and went away. The monkey plucked the
crow just as he had just seen the cook
pluck the fowl, took the fowl out of the
pot, put the crow in, and retired with his
exchange. When the cook came back and
saw the fowl left preparing for his mas
ter's luncheon turned black, he was, as
may be supposed, struck mad with terror
at this manifest Intervention of the Evil
One.
Another story, some forty or fifty years
earlier, is of monkey which my uncle
brought to London from India. On one
occasion he was seen playing with the ink.
perhaps writing letter, in his masters
bedroom. He upset the ink and there
upon he went to the chest of drawers,
opened q drawer, took out shirt, and
wiped up the ink with it, On another
day. he was sitting in my grandmother s
drawing-room Git was in Hill street), when
another lady came in and sat down. The
monkey, after watching her for some time
from the back of the chair on which be
was perched, snatched the visitors bonnet

the bonnet. At last, the window being
open, he leaped out upon the lamp post,

delight that the monkey was sitting at the
other end of the room turning over the
leaves of . valuable book on entomology
and looking at the plates with apparent
interest. But on going nearer, he saw
with dismay, that the monkey was turning
over the plates in order that, when b

In the United States we have . system of
protection with a continuous agitation for free
trade. In England the established system is
rs searly as possible free trade with constant
agitsfion for protection. A discussion of the
SUBJECT by Englishmen, therefore, throws an
important light upon our own controversy.
In the Forum for November will be found
two articles by the most prominent English
writers upon this subject: Sir Thomas H.
Farrar, for many years Secretary Of the Eng
lish Board Of Trade, who explains the several
English views Of the Mckinley tariff and its
effect upon British exports; and Lord Mash
am, President of the Fair Trade Club and the
largest textile manufacturer in Great Britain,
England should be changed to = protective
policy, arguing that England has not profted
by free trade.-T The Forum Publlshing Com

Buying Stamps in Hungary.

At the postoffice, where we went to
buy our first Hungarian stamp, the gos
siping old postmaster and his wife

offices in other countries-were so over
whelmed by the extent Of our letters that
the wheels of official machinery refused
to work at ALL After they had carefully
read all the addresses, and had marvelled
long at the range Of our correspondence,
we succeeded in communicating to their
dazed senses the fact that we wanted to
buy stock of stamps of various denom-
nations.
ssWhat! so much money for stamps?
Impossibler' protested the old man and
his echoing wife. 'sYou are already
sending away forms and forms worth
on these lettersr'
ssBut we want stock Of stamps to
keep for our convenient use," we urged.
Eyes, yes, you want to use them; but
why don't you buy them as you need
the1n?" was the reply, as he shut the
drawer under his elbow, apparently
loath to part with any of it's precious
contents.
Arguments were useless, and we gave
up the notion of securing variety, and
tempered our demand to humble re-
quest for few ten-kreutzer stamps for
foreign postage.
"Ah, nop' he said ST can't let you
have any ten-kreutzer stamps, for the

The students of the University OF
Michigan have long been noted for their
active interest in politics. This year,
among the young Republicans inthe Uni
versity this interest is taking practical
turn. in the formulation of a plan for the
formation of National League of College
and University Republican clubs. A
national convention to be held May 18th,
at Ann Arbor, and to be addressed by
distinguished Republican leaders, is to
be the starting point of the plan. All the
large colleges of the country are to be
represented at this convention. The
plan of this league starts with recognition
of the fact, which is undoubtedly true,
that among the college men OF today are
to be found large proportion Of the fu-
ture leaders of the nation in law, litera-
ture and politics. The college boys
should be early interested in politics;
and the young Republicans of Michigan
University show their quickness of COM
prehension in endeavoring to get the col
lege students of today interested on the
side of Republicanism. A larger part of
them already lean that way; but Demo
cratic influences are increasingly active
among them every year. The students
national convention should be well at
tended, and if it is it cannot fail to be
successful in more ways than one.

Where CIVILIZATION ana SASaSefy Nieo''
Upon the 1900 miles of the shore of
Lake Superior there are living now less
than 150, 900 persons, and these are mainly
in bustling cities like Duluth, Superior,
and Marquette, in industrial colonies like
Calumet and Red Jacket, OF in struggling
little ports like Fort Williams and Port
Arthur. Even there the wilderness and
primeval conditions are face to face with
the robust civilization which is shoulder
ing its way as capital is accustomed to do
rather than as natural growth usually as
serts itself. Not that it is not a wholly
natural growth which we find at all points
on the lake shore, for it is all in response
to the memorable laws of supply and de-
mand. Yet the communities there have
sprung into being far apart from we'll

station breakfasting there. but enjoying
for luncheon cut of the deer OF a dish
of trout or partridge which he has
killed for the purpose. 1t is, so to say,
region wherein the wholesale fisherman
with his steamboat disturbs the red man
who is spearing fish for supper, where
the wolf blinks in the glare of the cleo
tric lamp, and where the patent stump
puller and tue beaver work side by side.
The strange condition is most start
lingly illustrated by recent occurrence
in Michigan, in the same region. Close
to watering resort which is crowded in
summer by persons from all over the
West, some men were cutting timber in
them. One hit himself with an axe,
cutting open an artery in his leg. The
other hurried away for surgical help.
When the messenger returned, nothing
but the bones of his brother were left.
Wolves, attracted by the scent of his
blood, had eaten him up.
1t is thus that there is forced upon the
comprehension the practical newness of
this giant fresh-water sea, which geolo-
gists would have us believe is millions
of years old, and which even history
mentions in detailing the exploits of men
who died in the seventeenth century.
But with the youth of this new civiliza-
ton have come the vigor and enterprise
needed to develop industries and to rear
cities of which all the people of all the
States, new and old, may well feel proud.

Professor W. S. Bailey of Colby Uni
versity, has been commissioned by the
Worlds Fair Commission with the task
of getting together a collection OF Maine
minerals for exhibition at the World S
Fair in Chicago next year. Professor
Bailey must, in this wor'z, rely largely
upon the concurrent @etion of people Of
the state in loaning the use of such min
eral specimenss.ss any of them may pos
sess. He sstes that no nucleus of arepre-
sent;s.4ve collection of the minerals of the
state exists anywhere, except, perhaps, at
the National Museum at Washington.
Yet, Maine possesses unique mineral
species unknown elsewhere. Others
found in large quantities are rare in other
parts of the world. Many occur more
beautifully developed in the rocks of the
Pine Tree State than in those of any 9TH
er portion of the earth's crust. Some of
the finest gem material of the entire
United States is found within our bord-
ers. Of course good exhibition of our
minerals Is HlOSb uesliaule3 duu IL 10 I'LL
fortunate that the collection of one must
be left to voluntary contribution. Yet,
much may be done in this way. Pro-
fessor Bailey announces that only crys-
talized specimens are desired, and that
the contributors will have to bear the
freight or express charges of sending
them to Waterville. At present, howev-
Ell, no specimens are desired, only letters
from those who are willing to contribute
with statement of what specimens
they can furnish.
