Literary Notes.

"Meditation,' by Charles Sprague Pearce, a
charming picture of a girl whose thoughts
have dritted from the book which she has
been reading, and "Peonies," by Paul de
Longpre, one OF the most popular of the
Hover painters OF the day, appear, admirably
reproduced as color studies In The Art Ag1a6-
teatr for October. II the nrst of these has a
slight tinge of pleasant sadness, the frOnts-
piece more than counterbalances tia child,
almost smiling, holding up a bunch of "Cher-
rtes,' ian engraving by Baude after the pastel
by Ohm Russel). Other specially notable IL
lustra tions in the number are water-color

There is no medicine so often needed in
every home and so admirably adapted to
the purposes for which it is intended, as
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the fam
lily has need of it. A toothache or head
ache may be cured by it. A touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The
severe pain of burn or scald promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which insures
a cure in about one-third of the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate treatment be-
fore the parts become swollen, which can
only be done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured before
it becomes serious. A troublesome corn
may be removed by applying it twice day
for week or two A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved, or pain in the side or chest reliev-
ed without paying doctor bill. Procure
a so cent bottle at once and you will never
regret it, For sale by Elmer d. Prickitt,
