But whatever fluctuations may at

The railroads all appear to be in

there is an increase in the orders ac-

Literary News and Notes.

The literary agency fourishes tremend-
ously in England, but in New York 1t has
not made so much of a showing. DR.. Coan
succeeded with his Bureau of Revision, and
q similar institution exists in Boston under
the direction of Vim. H. Hills, proprietor of
srThe Writer But a bureau for actually sell
ing the manuscripts Of reputable writers has
| not existed, at least, for any length of time.
The International Literary agency, however,
has sent out a very promising circular, re-
ferfing to McClufes magazine, anu It's man
ayers seem to be connected with that periodi-
cal. For q fee of one dollar manuscripts
under 10, 900 words are read and advised
noon, and ten per cent. is charged for selling.
New authors are introduced to the public,
novels are bought, publishers found, ETC.,
etc.
No doubt there is need of such an agency
in the United States, for about the only way
an author can get on by himself is to be
taken up by one of the large magazines or
publishing houses. Say what you will,
literary success depends largely on whether
YOU personally appeal to some editor who is
willing to bring you out and keep you before
the public. Harper & Bros. have created
the greater number of their famou authors
and artists, too, and the selection of the ones
to create is a matter of personal like, for the
most part. The one man in New York who
has written most novels which have had the
largest sale, from which he has received the
most money, the greater number OF whose
books were at the first on the lists of Hough-
ton, Miflin & Co.. from which you may
know that he is a literary artist of the first
rank is suffering in his reputation most
severely, because he was independent and
did not choose to bow the knee to any Baal
publisher. The existence of a really first
class literary agency would enable such a
man to command his market and be indie
pendent too. Besides, the author is not q
business man, and needs a business man to
do his business for him.

SpOngy Gums.

Spongy and swollen gums, condi-
t1on often attendant upon middle
age, may or may not be the result or
any particular disease, but they are
very inconvenient and may even
cause serious trouble.
In their healthy state the gums
are firm and, it may be, somewhat
hardened, with Just enough blood
present to color them adelicate pink.
Gums in this condition offer sup
port to the teeth which it would be
hard to surpass.
In the disOrdered condition of
which we are speaking, however.
they become swollen, and are so
charged with blood as to present the
appearance of having been parboiled.
The slightest disturbance is sufficient
to cause flow of blood, while there
is a constant sense of discomfort, and
a constant desire to pick at or suck
them.
Soon the teeth become more or less
loosened, and by reason of the pres
sure of the tongue and the food be-
hind them, tend to spread apart and
protrude outward. The substance Of
the tooth is next attacked, and the
tooth becomes ediscOlored and de-
cayed. The gums refuse longer TO
hold the teeth, and, ia fact, time
alone is necessary to convert the
| whole mouth into useless and dis
gusting object.
AS we have seen, all this may be
consequent upon an over supply OF
blood to the gums The remedy is
rather preventive than curative

and with a little cool water and cas-

HOW MUCH Sleep
Discussion of Edison's Theory That Two
Hours is Enough.

Hours is Enough.
The discussion aroused by Edis0n's
theory that two hours sleep is
enough for any rational or healthy
human being continues vigorously.
Opinion is not all with the inventor,
for the ma. .ority of people insist that
eight or nine hours sleep is
necessary to perfect health. A few
instances are recalled by persons who
have gone into the subject deeply Of
men who have succeeded in getting
along with four hours sleep out Of
the twenty-four, and isolated cases OF
extraordinary periods of wakeful-
ness in cases Of danger and great ex-
element are quoted. The walking
matches which were held at one time
in New York gradually resolved
themselves into a question Of how
long a man could get along without
sleep and in one instance a walker
went five days with an average OF
less than three and one-half
hours sleep out Of each twenty-fOur
hours. Mr.. Edison's theory is that
the practice of sleeping eight or nine
hours is a relic of barbarsim, which
became part of our nature when
there was no artificial light and
that when darkness came on there
was nothing else to do but sleep
Night editors, night watchmen, night
