Literary Notes.

The Forum for March, which by the
way begins volume 10. will contain four
articles particularly timely-''fhe Bust
ness World VS.. the Politicians by the
Hon. j. II. Eckels, Comptroller of the
Currency; "Our laundering Foreign
Pc Icy" by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
THE COnstitutionality and Justice OF
the Income-TaX,' by Professor +. K.
A. Seigman. of Columbia College; and
"The Antitoxne Treatment of piphthe-
RI, by Or. l.. Emmett Holt. one of the
best living authorities on etildren's dis
eases.
Or. Parl,hurst's first article To women
in the Ladies' Home journal has proved
so popular that the entire huge edition
of the February issue of the magazine
was exhausted within ten days, and "A
second edition of Is 900 copies has been
printed.
In McClure's Magazine for March the
new remedy for diphtheria, which
promises TO reduce the most malignant
of diseases to comparative harmlessness.
will be described in its manufacture and
application, aud with numerous pictures,
by DR.. Hermann NJ. Briggs aud DR..
William II. Park. The writers, through
their official connection with the New
York Board of Health, are personally
engaged in the production of the diph-
liberia anti-toXine, aud write, therefore,
from the fullest information.
Readers of Marion Crawford's novel
casa Bracco,' now appearing in The
Century, will be interested in knowing
that the story, as printed so far, Is true,
except that the scene of the actual oc-
currancc was in South America instead
of in Italy. The nun. who really escap-
ed from a Carmelite convent with a
Scotch surgeon, was the niece OF Il
bishop. \ skeleton was placed in her
bed, when it was fired, instead of body
as in Mr.. Crawford's story. After much
suffering the surgeon and his wife reach
ed the sea coast, and were taken aboard
an English vessel whence they sailed to
Scotland and lived for many years in
Edinburgh. The part of Mr.. Crawford 5
story still to appear, portraytng the
punishment visited upon the pair for
their sin, is imaginary.

after their mining properties.
A. IL. Maxwell is back from the
Mogollons and gives a very hattering
account of the development in that
district.
Frank Welty, while riding a factious
broncho, received a painful confusion
of his left leg; the horse fell oyer upon
him, and nov he is limping around
with a-grin-and- bear-lt expression.
The dance and Christmas tree, which
were to be held at the school house on
Christmas eve, will not be held; as Mr..
and Mrs. Boutwell, were the prime
movers in the matter, and the people
have readily given them up on ac-
count of respect to the memory of the
deceased.
Mr., j. j. Boutwell,, whose sudden
death at the Columbus mine was such
"A shock to the camp. was brought from
Chloride and inferred at Hermosa
cemetery on Saturday, December 18th,
between four and five o'clock in the
afternoon. The people had been In
formed that the burial would take
place at that time and assembled at the
grave to render the last token of re-
spect to the earthly remains of their
esteemed t0wnsman. Mr.. G. B. Peers
conducted the funeral rites assisted
by Hon. R. 81. White, and a volunteer
choir. The many kindnesses aud eour
tesles extended by the people of Chic.
ride to the Borrowing family and friends
of Mr.. Boutwell, will be a cherished
remembrance of the sad occasion. Mr.
Boutwell, was born in Stark county
Ohio, in 1S49; his family moved from
Ohio to Indiana, thence to Iowa from
there he went to California where he
remained about five years and then
went to Kansas where he remained foI
a time, coming from that state to New
Mexico.

Many people wonder how the handles Of
the sticks made from hickory. malacoa

OF heat. The workman fixes one end Of the
cane firmly in a vice and pours a continuous
stream of fire from q gaspipe on tho pari

has been applied the cane is pulled grad.

then firmly secured with string, and afte,
an additional application of heat in the form
of baking the curl is permanently axed
The under part.of the hook, which is mrci
