\ Terrible Visitant.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and often domiciles itself with one for life. This infliction is preventable, in case of rheumatism, by timely resort to Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which checks the encroachments of this obstinate and dangerous malady at the outset. The term dangerous" is used advisedly, for rheumatism is always liable to at tack the vital organs and terminate life. No testimony is more conclusive and concurrent than that of Physicians who testify to the excellent effect of the Bit ters in this disease. Persons incur a wetting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are exposed to draughts, should use the Bitters as preventive of ill eff feCts. Malaria, dyspepsia, liver and kidneytrouble, nervousness and debili- ty are also among the ailments to which this popular medicine is adopted. For the infrmaties, soreness and stiffness of the aged it is highly beneficial.

 Literary Notes.
copYRrcHr.Ais 1893.

It behooyes the fippant New Yorker to bestir himself and assume an un- accustomed attitude of respect when considering any subject which relates to the literary history of Philadelphia. However he may rail at Boston's sup posed departing literary glory, how> ever loudly he may brag that the New York of Irving and Cooper antedated the Boston Of Emerson and Hawthorne, he must always bear in mind that Phil adelphia was the cradle of American letters. If for no ether reason, he should remember that one B. Franklin started the first American magazine in that city over 150 years ago, besides be- ing himself the first all-around literary man the country produced. It is an old story to talk of Broekden Brown, the first American novelist, and of the sue cession of Philadelphia magazines from the Port Folio. at the beginning of this century to the "Graham's" and "Sartain's" magazines of later date In these publications the authors of New York and New England found their best and most profitable mediums of publication for nearly quarter of cen tury. All this is written down at great length in Prof. Albert H. Smythes ex- eellent History of Philadelphia Mag azines and their Contributors" a most useful book to students of American literature.
 Yet the literary glory of Philadelphia departed, it might be said, almost in night. In 1872, 20 years after this hap pened, Bayard Taylor felt called upon to write of the late George Henry Boller, in that entertaining book, "The Echo Club" that mo one of our authors is so isolated as he. When Philadelphia ceased to be literary center, which happened very suddenly and unexpect- edly, the tone of society seemed to change. Instead of the open satisfac- tion of Boston in her brilliant circle of authors, or the passive indifference of

GIRL As 4 TAXIDERMIST,
A New York Belle Who Is Handy
 with Rifle and Scalpel
She Wears Furs Shot and Dressed by Her Own Hands-A Description of Her Inviting Den-Trophies of
 Her SkiiI.
COPYRIGHT, 1895.

There is actually girl ill New York who is prouder of her muscles than of her complexion; who, in spite of the fact that she is society belle, leads healthy outdoor life six months in the year. Shc is not only crack shot, a | fine horsewoman and match for the wariest fish that ever layed 8 reel; she is an accomplished taxidermist as we'll
 This clever young Diana is exceed ingly fond of wearing furs. From the first breath of frosty weather until summer is announced, fur trimmings are sure to be found on some portion of her pretty costumes; and it is her boast that she has never, since child hood, worn piece of fur that she did | not owe to her own skill with rifle and scalpel. She created quite a sensation the winter of her debut by appearing in an opera cloak of white velvet lined with gray squirrels, skins aud trimmed with mink. The sensation 4vas not so much the result of the beauty of the cloak as of the fact that it was general. ly known that the lovely debutante had not only shot but tanned every skin used. Any allusion to her novel cloak would bring a flush of color to her cheeks, while the most subtle compli- ment to her beaux yeux would utterly fail. And her eyes are of the glaring kind called '"Irish blue," which it is difficult to leave appraised.
 Her reasons for taking up the study of taxidermy are simple and practical.
 .'If you are true sportswoman," she said recently to friend who un- derstands the game laws even better than the social code, "you will easily comprehend the delight there is in pre- serving and exhibiting the trophies of

your prowess in forest and field. And the only reasonable method of grati- flying such desire is to gain suffi- cient knowledge of taxider1ny to enable you to tan and mount such game as you wish to add to your collection. To forward birds and animals from re- mote hunting grounds to city taxi- dermists involves an expenditure of time and trouble that makes the whole matter a burden; whereas perfect in dependence may be achieved by study Ing for a few weeks with practical taxidermist, and by the purchase of a book of instructions with supply of the necessary tools. A half-dozen vis- It's to some natural history museum will prove a most profitable postgraduate course.
 By few weeks" she continued, Fl do not mean two or three, butrather seven or eight. Yet it is not necessary to go deeply into the study of presery- ing animals in order to do work that will bring intending satisfaction, not only to ones self, but to the hosts of friends who like prettily set game for their halls and libraries. Why, don't know man of my acquaintance who would not prefer as gift pair of an- tiers or a rug to whole trunk full of fancy work.
 "Of course" the enthusiastic young scientist continued, you must under
