Literary Notes.

Miss Maria L. POOLS new novel, "The
Two Salomes," appears this week from the
press of Harper & Brothers. 1t is study
in what may be called "invincible heredity,"
the heroine being young New England
girl whose moral and physical organization
is abruptly disturbed by curious strain of
the tropical temperament. A double love-
story gives movement to the book.
Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster's expected vol
ume of verses, "On the Road Home" is
among this months publications of the
Messrs. Harper & Brothers. The poems
embody thoughts, suggestions and pictures
referring chiefly to the home, friendship,
the familiar relations of daily life, and the
Christian years calendar.
Messrs. Harper & Brothers will bring out
within two or three weeks little volume of
personal experiences by Mr.. w. D. Howells,
entitled "My Year in a Log Cabin"
Messrs. Harper & Brothers have added
this week to their new edition Of Mr.. Will

A resident at Fort Scott, Kan, who was
a passenger on train that was recently
stopped and pilaged by robbers, has writ
ten letter to the Missouri, Kansas and Tex
as Railroad managers suggesting means fol-
putting stop to the work of desperadoes
on the railroads After observing that the
robbers were not only poorly organized, but
seemed very apprehensive of the results Of
their crime to themselves, those guarding
the passenger cars continually calling out
to their companions in the express car to
hasten matters, the writer says: "My OBJ
servation leads me TO the conclusion that
if your company will run twenty-four inch
strip of boiler iron around the bodies, just
below the windows, of your cars, put four
or five Winchesters in each car just above
the windows in glass boxes, just as
you do axes and saws, marked For emer-
gencies,' post up notices in each car offering
a reward, in advance, of say 5000 or $500
apiece for fresh dead train robbers think
you will see the meekness and apathy of the
ordinary to-be-robbed passenger disappear,
and the American public will take care, not
only of itself, but of any stray robbers
caught in the act along the line of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas" Another
device to prevent the success of train rob-
bers has been invented by the Western Pas
senger Agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road at ST. Louis. His plan is very simple
and provides for equipping every safe with
two locks which interlock with each other,
and notice pasted on the outside Of the
safe for the especial benefit of the robber.
The locks for convenience of description,
are called "Lock No. l" and Lock No. 2"
and the notice reads as follows Notice
In case of assault by robbers, throw the
combination of lock No. 2. This safe can
then be opened only by the agent at the ter.
minal station" The messenger knows the
combination Of lock No. l, or has key to
unlock it, but he does not know the combi-
nation of lock No. 2, and if he once throws
off the combination of lock No. ., it is ut
terly impossible for him TO unlock and open
the safe, and the painted notice on the safe
door will apprise the train robber Of the
fact. AT the first intimation of trouble the
messengers orders will require that he at
once throw of the combination of lock No.
2, when the safe is at once locked, not only
against the robbers, but against the messen-
ger and every one except the agent at the
end of his run.

Grown old, the mother is sometimes sor-
rowfully clear-sighted, and freed from the
blessed illusions of youth When her chill
dren were little things playing about the
door, and tucked into bed at night, all safe
and sweet and rosy, she had her dreams OF
their future. There was nothing too bright,
too brave, too beautiful for her Imagination
aud her hope, as she looked at her darlings,
sleeping or waking. As they grew older,
went to school and to college, or into the
counting-room, the mother still dreamed
and planned, still wove her enchanted sto-
ries. in the centre of which she saw her
children, heroes, professors, scholars, bene-
factors, champions Of the weak, defenders
of the helpless, ornaments of the age, and
renowned to- be. Her Frank, her Charles,
her Syndey, whatever others might do, they
were bound to excel, to stand in the van, to
reap the rewards, to scale the heights, to
discover the long hidden secrets. But there
dawns a day upon the mother when, grown
old, as wrinkles and gray hairs testify, she
renews the wonderful keenness and acute
ness of childhood she sees the dropping of
many masks; she comprehends things as
they are. Past the hour of dreaming and cas-.
tie building, past the clouds and the mirage,
her vision is like that of one of Gods an
gels.-Harper's Ba-ar.

Chimneys should be attended to every
autumn if we would avoid the fright OF
their taking fire. Many valuable home
stead has been destroyed from negligence in
this matter. SCOT accumulates very rapidly,
and much sooner with some kinds of coal
than others, and there is also difference in
wood. If chimney takes fire the readiest
means to stop it is to apply wet cloth,
hearth rug or blanket to the whole front OF
the CRATE or fireplace, and either hold or
pin it close into the jam, then lift up the
bottom far enough to throw pail of water
on the fire. A few handfuls of salt thrown
into the fireplace or CRATE will put out the
fire. Flour or sulphur thrown upon the
fire will also paralyze the flames.
