At dinner given in London by a
well-known literary man, an equally
well-known author and correspondent
was most enthusiastic in his praise
of Wagner, not only as a composer of
music, but as a poet. Il have nc
doubt" he said with great earnestness
that in the years to come Wagner
will be ranked above Beethoven and
Schiller" Il quite agree with you,
responded Alma Tadema, who was one
of the company; for certainly" he
continued, as the author turned face
beaming with delight at this uneXpect-
ed support toward him-"certainly no
one can deny that Wagner is finel
musician than Schiller and greater
poet than Beethoven"

Coils z. Huntington.

No man on the Pacific slope exerts
a more powerful influence than Mr.
Huntington. His railroad interests
form a network about all the Pacific
states. He manages to buy up all op-
position lines, and in this way keeps
freight and passenger rates up to the
prices that ruled fifteen years ago
Lately he has got tangled up in suits
with some of the states and the ma
tional government, his first road hav-
ing been built by government loan
California, which has been most af-
fected by the Huntington interests, is
building state railway, to be owned
and operated by the state. 1t will car
ry freight and passengers at cost OF
operation. OF course it can not be pur-
chased by Mr.. Huntington.

A, WOODEN LIBRARY.
A Unique Collection In tho Museum NJ
Hesse-C -Cassel.


The historical museum OF Hesse-
Cassel, Germany, contains undoubtedly
the most unique in the form OF a
wooden library" composed OF 546 vol
umes in folio and quarto sizes. The
books are made of the different speci-
mems of trees found in the famous park
Of Wilhelmshoehe. On the back of each
Of these singular books Is pasted
large shield of red morocco, which
bears the popular and scientific name
of the tree and the family to which 1t
belongs. Each label is inlaid with some
of the bark of the tree, the moss and
lichen, and a drop or two of the rosn, If
the tree produces it. The upper edge of
the book shows the tree in its youth, cut
from horizontal section, with the sap
In the center and the concentric circles.
The same method prevails with the
lower edge showing the changes that
have taken place. The two covers, as
well as the side edge of each book are
ot green and polished wood, and con-
tain the following notations: DENSITY
oil wood in spring, summer and begin
ming of winter, rise and fall of tempera-
ture, the properties of the tree and the
soil in which it grows" The interior of
the book, in the shape of box, con-
tains in manuscript the history of the
tree,with numerous hints as to its treat
ment, ETC., capsules filled with seeds
buds, roots, leaves, etc. The inner sides
show the diverse transformations which
take place from bloom to fruit. The
author of this singular and ingenious
library is Carl Schiedbot, of whose
identity, however, very little is
known. All that can be definitely
stated is that in 1771-17S6 he was
the director of the Cassel menagerie.
Afterward he became bailiff of Weis-
senstein, the Wilheimshoehe of to-day.
1t was at that time that he began work
upon the original collection, which he

Tho Hot Springs of South Dakota.
The following letter from Mr.. w. M,
Tyson, commander of the Pennsyl-

Springs are in fair way to be-
come one OF the leading health resorts
OF the country:
Erie, Pa, Feb. 2s, 1895.
Col. Fred Evans, prop. Evans Hotel,
Hot Springs, S. D.:
Dear Sir-Among the many who have
been benefited by treatment at the Hot
Springs, S. D., and have experienced
courteous hospitality at your hands,
! claim the right to say a word in be-
half of the Springs as a health resort,
and cannot do better than to state the
facts In my own case.
left Erie, Pa, about Nov. /,
1884, my friends at the time doubling
whether l would ever recover my health.
I arrived at Hot Springs so weak and
disheartened that l required aid to
leave the cars and reach the hotel.
For the first two weeks I felt no i'm
provement. Then 1 experienced a
change, which continued until my de-
parture, and returned to my home very
much stronger and almost free from
pain.
do not hesitate to say to any one
seeking relief from pain and desiring
rest that l do not believe there Is any
place where an invalid can go and find
so many advantages, such as healing
waters, pure aid, grand mountain seem
cry, and comfortable hotel accommo-
dations, as Hot Springs. S. d. The
elegant Evans hotel is all that goes to
make one feel at home. 1 am so thor
oughly convinced of the many advan-
tages to be found at your location that
II is a pleasure for me to recommend
the Hot Springs to invalids and to
those seeking amusement as well as
health.
Wishing you every success, and that
Hot Springs may become better known
and appreciated, l am, truly yours,
(Signed) w. NJ. TYSON.
The Hot Springs of South Dakota are

In London tattooing is becoming the
fad of many of the women of light and
leading. Lady Randolph Churchill is
one of the pictorially punctured. A fine
ly tattooed serpent is traced on her
arms in green, red, and blue, but its
presence is usually concealed by a
broad gold bracelet. Just why this
form of decoration appeals to the fem
mime fancy has not as yet been di-
vulged.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The NezO YORK Tribune says "The habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates. are claimed by the iuanl-
tacturers to be positive and speedy cure for anv
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them Is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them 10 re-
lieve raging headache aud soon resort TO tile
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opiitu fiend, get into the habit os taking
them regularly, Imagining that they arc in pain
II they happen 10 miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..

entirely of the purest, concentrated,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2O.-The idolo the
Pennsylvania Democracy is shattered
The Republican voters of this city yester-
day elected City Solicitor Charles r
Warwick Mayor over eX- Governor Robert
r. Pattison by an overwhelming majority.
w. j. Roney, the Republican candidate
for Receiver of Taxes, was also elected.
The official count o. the re urns is not
complete, but conservative estimates
place it at $4,000.
Prominent Democrats agree that eA-
Governor Pattison's presidential aspira-
tions are shattered He made grieveous
error in allowing himself to be hood
winked by BOSS" Harrity into accept
ing the Mayoralty nomination, and now
that he has been defeated he finds
humility heaped upon his bad Judgment.
Had the Ex-Governor rested upon his
honors won in the city OF Philadelphia
and as having twice been Governor of the
Commonwealth, he would have gone be-
fore the next Democratic national con
ventiOn as the strongest possible candi-
date for the presidency, but his most loyal
friends must admit that his last cam
paign has killed such chances.
