a Literary Discovery.

Mrs Fields tells IN an article in
Scribner's Magazine. an interesting
story of literary discovery. 1t re-
fers evidently to her husband, the
publisher, who found one day in a
second hand shop in London beau

seIas"
Imagine the JOY of the enthusiasts.
tic buyer, having lett the shop, the
book paid for and tucked under his
arm. to find, as he turned into d
quiet street to take look at his new
purchase, TO find hidden between the
leaves, a letter in the well known
handwriting of Doctor Johnson him
self
1t was almost too much to believe,
and the question Immediately arose
in the young publishers mind, ito
whom does this letter belong?"
At one moment the fortunate pos
SCISSOR would shut up the book and
start for home, in the next he rapidly
retraced his steps and at last did not
pause until he had again reached the
door Of the small shop where his pur-
chase had been made.
By this time he had resolved what
to do; he would first discover if the
seller Of the book knew of the exist
ence of this treasure, and then they
could decide together upon the right
step to take. The bookseller was as
tonisEed at the sight of the letter,
and confessed at once that he could
make no claim upon it, as he was ig-
norant Of its existence until that mo-
ment.
However, the matter was soon set
tied TO the satisfact on of both part
les; they decided upon the price such
letter should bring, and one-half of
the value was paid to the bookseller,
who had unconsciously allowed such a
prize to slip through his fingers.

Tue other night a young couple,

signed to a room, went up stairs. A
few minutes later the young man
came down stairs, and, approaching
the clerk, said:
THAT room is very nice, and all
that. but there is something missing
That should be there. -
What is it," asked the clerk, sur
prised.

leaning over the desk and whisper
ing, "to tell the truth, there is no

1t was as much as the clerk could
do TO keep a straight face. ''You

Travellers MusI Be Content.

In some parts of the Southern
States, where, happily for them, the
people are not in such a ceaseless
hurry as people are in the nervous
North, no one thinks of exacting
punctuality from railroad trains.
They take them when they come,
and arrive when they get there, and
are content.
A fretfnl Yankee drummer who,
at a country railway station, had
not arrived an hour after schedule
time, received lesson in patience
from an elderly cOuntryman who
came 10 with his gripsack and asked
the station master.
What time do the train fer Savan-
nah git here, boss"
Somewhat bout ni9htfall," an
swered the station man.
"An' what time do she git ter Sa-
vannah?"
Somewhat bout mawnin'"
Then the countryman, perfectly
satisfied with the information. folded
his legs in corner, and settled down
to an hour or more of philosophical
comfort.

IrAsLE CUSTOMS IN SWEDEN.
Help Yourself the General Rnle Through
out the Entire Meal


out the Entire Meal
Table methods in Sweden differ
from those in most other countries.
An institution which exists every
where and precedes all meals is the
so called ''smorgasbord, +" says a
writer in the Philadelphia Telegraph.
This is a high table in every restau-
fant-room spread with small appetite
ers, such as shrimps, anchoves, cold
roast meats. radishes timed fishes,
and an abundance of bread and but
Jer. To this the guest walks up and
helps himself ito his satisfaction at
the same time ordering of waiter
what he desires for his next later
course. When he has finished his
standing meal he takes a seat and is
ready for the meal, which is very like
what is to be had in other countries.
The visitor will be impressed with
the fresh milk, cream and butter,
which are set on the table in lavish
quantities, a circumstance which is
easily explained when it is remem-
bered that Sweden and Denmark pro-
vide Great Britain and some other
parts OF the world with a great part
of their dairy products. The system
of helping yourself often extends to
the entire meal, as at railway stations
where a halt is made for dinner. A
great table set with an abundance of
the most excellent viands is placed
unguarded at the mercy of the guests,
who each for himself walks to the
soup dish and dips out what he

on throughout the meal. When he
has done he walks up to the cashier.
reports what he has eaten and pays
the bill which is never eXtravagant.
A feature of the ia BILE in Sweden is
the so-called ''ladbrod," or fat bread
which a stranger is not apt TO like.
1t occurs in the form of a thick
wafer extending to about the circum-
ference of bucket top 1t has a

with mashed potatoes and peas. In
the north it is sometimes made Of

cracks under the teeth like nothing
else on the bill of fare, and tastes at
times like coffee, at other times no
worse than a leftover from Christmas
cracker. 1t is set on the table ten
or fifteen thicknesses high, a joy to
those who like 1t and pest tC those
who do not, and who would like to
see the space filled up with some
thing else.

A WOMAN'S HEART.
ONE DISEASE THAT BATTLES
THE PHYSICIAN.
The Story of Woman Who Suffered
for Nine Years-HOw She Was Cured.

(From the Newark, n. j., Evening News)
Valvular disease of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
interview, therefore, will interest the medi-
cal profession since it describes the success
full use of a new eatmens for this disease.
The patient is Mrs. Geo. Archer of Clifton,
n. j., and this publication by the News is
the first mention made of the case by any
newspaper All physicians consulted pro-
nounced the patient suffering with valvu-
Lar disease of the Heart, and treated her
without the slightest relief. Mrs Archer
said: II could not walk across the floor;
neither could | go up stairs without stop
ping to let the pain In my chest and left
arm cease. l felt an awful construction
about my arm and chest as though were
tied with ropes. Then there was terrible
noise at my right ear, like the labored
breathing of some great animal I have
often turned expecting to see some creature
at my side.
Last july continued Mrs Archer, II
was at Springfield, Mass, visiting, and my
mother showed me an account in the
Springfield Examiner, telling of the Won
derful cures effected by the use Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. My
mother urged me to try the pills and on
November % last bought box and began
taking them, and l have taken them ever
since, except for a short interval. The
first box did not seem to benefit me, but /
persevered, encouraged by the requests of
my relatives. After beginning on the sec
ond box, to my wonder, the noise at my
right ear ceased entirely. 1 kept right on
and the distress that used to feel in my
chest and arm gradually disappeared. The
blood has returned to my face, lips and
ears, which were entirely devoid of color,

MY son, too, had been troubled with
gastritis and induced him 70 try the Pink
Pills, with great benefit. l feel that every

Mahogany Roads.

1t is still question whether wood
or stone is the more durable for
street pavements. The laying down
of mahogany roadways sounds almost
like dream OF Oriental magnitcence,
but Paris is making the venture.
A portion of that Interminable
thoroughfare, the Rue Lafayette, has
been pulled up and relad with real
Brazilian mahogany of a peculiarly
fine texture and color. 1t is con-
fessedly an experiment, as the ma
hogany is dearer than the woods or
dinarily used for the purpose of street.
paving.
The cost of the new roadway will
be fifty francs a square metre. which
is less than ten dollars square yar1.
1t is expected that the extra outlay
incurred will be more than compen'
satod for by greater durability.
