the aches, pains, weaknesses and
ailments that make woman's life
miserable. Some of them may be
serious, and of long standing; they'll
need time, perhaps, and patience.
But all Of them can certainly be
cured and corrected with Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It's a powerful, invigorating tonic
and a soothing and strengthening
nervine; legitimate medicine, pure
ly vegetable, perfectly harmless, and
carefully adapted, to women's deli
cate needs. At the two critical
periods in a woman's life = the
change from girlhood to woman
hood, and, later, the " change of life"
it is a perfectly safe and an espe-
cially valuable remedial agent that
can produce only good results.
For all "female complaints" ir-
regularities, and weaknesses, "Fa-
vorite Prescription" is the only
remedy SO unfailing and effective
that it can be guaranteed. If il
doesn't benefit or cure, in every case
the money will be refunded.

get. Can you ask moreY

lcoPYRIGuT. 1894.

In a recent article concerning the latest fad among the collectors, namely, the gathering of complete sets of the old "Annuals, published in this coun- try and England forty or fifty years ago, I mentioned Mr. Thomas J. Me Kee, of New York, as one of the lead ing collectors of old and rare books in the United States. Not long afterward was interested to learn that this mention of Mir. Mckee had brought him letters from two or three hundred people offering him old books for sale of every describable character. Some of these letters showed remarkable ignorance of what an old or rare book is, and after looking over few of them l asked MT. Mckee to give me some information on the subject suit able for the general reader.
 found MT. Mckee, as he is almost always to be found in the evening, at his quiet but comfortable home in Twenty-fourth street. He is one of the most successful practicing lawyers of the metropolis, albeit he makes little display in his work Such time as he CdA opdiC liOni HE tCH 6i ouUlCSlS uSudl- ly devoted to the completion of his great collection now numbering near ly ten thousand volumes, almost every one of which is interesting and valu- able in itself or for it's associations.
 began by suggesting to MT. Mckee that, as he had had considerable ex- perience as book collector, his knowl- edge of how to collect books and what books are worthy of collection as curi- osities, or on account of their intrinsic value, or for their rarity, must have made him unusually competent to speak on these subjects. then asked him to tell me just how he came to take up the collection of books and literary curiosities.
 To this MT. Mckee replied that he supposed it was inherent in man. He had always been fond of books, and great reader. From the time he was boy at school he had preserved his books. As he acquired knowledge of them he extended his tastes and col lection in that dirction.
 ''Mr. Mckee, you soon found your zpruRaaRs of collecting centeripg itself -ia- certain directions, did you not?"
 "Yes; and like all collectors, made mistakes. I acquired books which afterwards found l did not want, as

the next in value as old or rare books are those printed by the Aldus family. They commenced to print about 149s or 149o, and started in by issuing the Greek and Latin classics.
 ''The head of the Aldus family was a very learned scholar, and edited all of those books very carefully. He traced up the manuscripts of the early writers, compared and collsted them, and is- sued books that were considered per- lection. So far as the editorship is con- cerned those books have never been improved upon; they are beautiful in themselves
 'At Venice, In l5O1, Aldus printed a Virgil, which was the first book printed in italic type. This type, 1t is said, was an imitation of the handwriting of Petrarch. This was also the first att tempt to produce Q cheap book, by compressing the matter into small space and reducing the size to small 12-mo.

r All Right Above But a Little Bit Lacking ss Below.
 In family living not many miles out of town has been recently visitor who caused his hostess great deal of em- barrassment. He was Scotohman straight from his ''ain countrie, 7 gentle manly and well educated; but he clung to his old home traditions and formali- ties, and thereby hangs this tale.
 On the day of his arrival he informed his hostess that it was his unchange- able habit to always wear evening dress at dinner. As this seemed perfectly right and proper, Mrs. D. did not stop. to think of the various ways in which Scotland and America differ, and so was wholly unprepared for the sight that met her eyes that evening-the short plaid skirt and the bare limbs.
 After time, the members of the family became quite accustomed to the strange sight, but, callers were ire quently shocked and surprised out of their good breeding. A lady who called one evening said that on enter ing the reception room she saw a man seated behind table, looking at some engravings.' The upper half of his fig ure alone was visible, and that was in ordinary evening dress; and the aston ished caller could not repress little surprised shriek when he rose on being presented, and the tout en semble burst upon her vision.-Boston Budget.

Beyond His Expectations.

When the first edition of Thomson's .sSeasons" come out the poet sent copy, handsomely bound, to Sir Gilbert Elliot, of Minto, afterwnrd lord justice clerk, who had shown him great kind ness. Sir Gilbert showed the book, which was really credit to the pub fisher, to his old gardener, who was relation of Thomson's. The old man took it in his hands, turning 1t over and over, and gazing at it in evident admiration. Sir Gilbert asked: Well, David, what do you think of James Thomson now? There's a book that will make him famous all the world over and immortalize his. name" David, looking first at Sir, Gilbert and then at the book, replied proudly: ''In truth, sir, it is grand bookl I did na' think the lad had ingenuity enow to ha' done sic neat piece of handicraft as that" And without glance inside : the handsome covers, the gardener handed the book back to his employer, ,repeating his surprise that his poor P5oetical relative should have attained Itpg such praiseworthy work.-Youth's ! gEOmpanion .,.s s .4

 Modern Monstrosities.
 blush and I weep for Boston, The one great city of the country where the love of the aesthetic, reverence of the historical and cultivation of the truly graceful have survived the fever of modernity, has at last been untrue tor It's principles and surrendered itself to the vandals of enterprise. The thought of an elevated railroad in Boston comes with terrible shock to those that re- spect the dignified beauty of that fine old city, Among all the horrors of prac- tical nineteenth century civilization the elevated railroad is the most devil ish and disfiguring. Itsrepresents in it's complete hideousness the triumph of mechanics over art, of riot over order, of discord over harmony. Wher- ever an elevated railroad is there you willSand humanity in its least beauti- full aspect, excited, rumpled, soiled and lmpolite. The sight of an elevated railroad structure is as the sight of crutches, of scaffold, of all ungainly and depressing things. Wherefore, ask, did Boston vote to insult itself with such a whitening, roaring blightp Boston, the land of gool English and good beans, the land of unequalled broiled Holsters and incomparably musty ale!

considered them of little or no valuo. But as my knowledge increased be- came better judge of what was valu- able and worth collecting. At first I bought, miscellaneously, any book that thought I would like to read, and instead of getting the best edition I would take any edition.
 Ut Is a remarkable fact that oven people who are educated and intelli- gent know little about the value of books, and are ignorant as to what constitutes an old or valuable book. l have frequently heard an educated person speak of a book that was one hundred years old, for instance, as a very old book. Of course they thought it must be valuable because it was that old. Now, I don't imagine that any book, printed in the English language, irrespective of its author or it's con- tents, is necessarily of any value unless t should be printed in England prior to 1900, or on this continent. prior to 170O
 Printing was not begun in England until about 1474-I think that is the date of the earliest printed book in England. English books printed prior to 1b2O or 1893 might be valuable sim ply on account of the editing; but after that daAu i think 1t would have to de- pend upon the oontents or the author"
