ton of the millions suffering with
short breath, palpitation, irregular
pulse, wind in stomach, pain in side
or shoulder. smothcring spells, faint
ing, dropsy, etc. A. F. Davis, Silver

WHO READS BOOKS?

William Dean Howells said the other
day that the American men do not read
books, that that work, or pleasure, was
almost wholly left to women, and he la
mented that we had fallen upon such
evil times. Mr. Howells' statement,
however, is not borne out by the statis-
tics OF our public libraries which show a
very largo percentage of masculine
readers Of good literature. Professor
Hamilton W. Mabie recently collected
data from all the principal Libraries of
the country by which it Is shown that
Dickens, Scott, Hawthorne, George
Eliot, Mrs. Stowe, Cooper and Thack-
cray are to-day the most popular novel
lists. OuG of lit novels arranged in the
order OF their popularity, the works of
these great American writer's take the
lead--Hawthorne. Mrs. Stowe, j. Feni-
more Cooper, Mark Twain, Washington
Irving. These have an enormous lead
over Mr.. james, Mr.. Howells, Mr..
Crawford, Mr.. Cable and even Mr.. Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson.
A poll OF the Libraries shows that
"Dayid Copperfiold' leads in popularity
every work of fiction. The nine most
popular novels in the order of their pop
ularity, ere as follows: "David Copper
iield," "Ivanhoe," "The Scarlet Letter. u
suncle TOMS Cabin" "Ben- Hur,"
