titled The Imperiled Dignity OF
Science and the Law"
There is a second instalment of Girls
in a Factory Village" by Lille B
Chaee Wyman, narrating many Incl
dents Of girl life in New England
manufacturing village. Mrs. Wyman
gives very vivid word-pictures in these
little sketches, and writes with init
mate knowledge of her subject. In
conclusion she wisely avoids recon-
mending remedies for the present con-
ditions, leaving rather her simple. mar
rative to suggest to the reader the ne
cessary reform.
Professor Lanciani, whose volumes
are standard, gives in detail the ro-
mantle career of one OF the most won
derful structure in the world, in a
paper entitled The Fate of the Coli
scum
Two essays in this issue can natur-
ally be spoken OF together; upon wide
" different subjects each possesses the
charm of a thing well done. Mrs
Alice Morse Earl gives charming
glimpse of a Sunday in New Neither
lands and Old New York. While Civ
ing many unusual historical facts the
article is made doubly interesting by
the fresh and vivacious style in which
it is written. Mrs. Agnes Reppliel
prints another of her delightful essay;
onder the title Cakes and Ale,' Civ
ing selections from famous drinking
songs in literature, and she comments
discriminating upon them.
After all, the feature OF this ISSUE
which will attract the widest attention
is an innovation. A new department
is opened having the attractive title
Men and Letters, TO which our best
writer's will contribute short signed ar.
ticles on literary subjects, reminiscent
ses, suggestions, criticisms and the
like. The department is opened thi;
month by w. D. Howells with charm
ing paper reminiscent of his days a;
editor of the Atlantic. He is followed
by John Burroughs on THE Poet ant
the Modern and W. P Trent, on read,
ing the 10th volume of Balzac.

Review of Contents OF Valuable
Magazine.
The Atlantic Monthly for October is
one of the most important issues of the
year. There is the usual fine literary
flavor to the contents, and this is sup
plementd by timely papers on politi-
cal, scientific, and historical subjects.
The leading article of the month, by
President Eliot, of Harvard, is on
Five American Contributions to Civil
lization," viz, the practice of arbitra-
ton instead of war, the increase of
wide religious liberation, the safe de-
velopment of manhood suffrage. the
proof that people of a great variety of
nations are fit for political freedom.
and, fifth, the diffusion of well-being
among the population in general. Pre-
sident Eliot holds these five contribu-
tons as characteristic of our country.
and in his opinion they will be held
in grateful remembrance by mankind
for all time; for they are distinct con-
tributions to civilization. The article
is the best summary of what demo-
crazy has wrought out in the United
States that has perhaps ever been
made-an article that will become
classic.

Another intelligent witness has been
added to the thousands who have en-
dorsed DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
Mrs. Nancy Waugh, of 1913 briggs
avenue, Brooklyn a professional nurse,
after finding that the Pink Pills bene-
| flied her, now advises her patients
to take them. In speaking with the re-
porter about the pills as medicine,
Mrs. Waugh said:
about year ago l was i'll. l made
an effort to get about in a few days
| because circumstances compelled it.
One of the first places I visited after
| went out was the home of my daugh-
ter, Mrs. Dora Rogers, of 7 Powers
street. My daughter, who had pre-
viously taken the pills, urged me to try
them. l took advice, and in less than
a week l felt stronger and more cheer
full. / would like to emphasize the
cheerfulness, for my ailment was prin-
| cipally that of melancholy feeling.
| The pills have the power to drive away
the blues, and for that reason they are
worth more than ten times what is
charged for them.
ITO all women who have reached
that critical period, the change of life,
| recommend these pills most heartily
They are such simple, agreeable
medicine. In my little chest which |
carry about with me l always have a
box of the pills with me. l go out for
week or two at time and so feel
the need of them while away from
home. l usually take one dose a day
after breakfast. When l first started
taking them l took three doses each
day. As family medicine can think
OF no better remedy The Pink Pills
will help both sexes, but they are es-
pecially beneficial for women. Young
women who have little blood ought to
keep them on hand all the time.
never see pale face that l do not feel
like recommending the Pink Pills.
They have ingredients that tone up
the system in wonderfully short time.

fulness, which brings sunshine and
happiness in the family"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain. in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness

PAPER PILLOWS.

The latest health fad is paper pillows.
The paper is torn into very small pieces
and then put into pillow sack of
drilling or light ticking. The pillows
are very cooling in hot weather, and are
said to be superior to feather ones.
Newspapers are not nice to use, as
they have disagreeable odor of prin-
ter's ink, but brown or white paper
and old letters and envelopes are the
best. The finer the paper is cut or torn
the lighter it makes the pillow.

A LILY BoUDoIR.

There is one debUtante who is going
TO stay single and yet enjoy her full
share OF homage this season; and with
this idea in mind she has been fash
ioning the prettiest boudoir OF all.
It is a lily room. Fancy anything
sweeter than that!
The beginning of the room was fifty
large Chinese lilies, each the size of a
tea plate. A bushel of washed peb-
bIes of all sizes and several cut-glass
bowls came next. All around the room
were placed small brackets, and upon
each was set lily. Inside week the
sprouts began to grow, and inside siI
weeks the blooming began. The bou-
doir is now as lovely as dream.
Upon the floor of this lily boUdoir
is white fur rug. Another is hung
back of the couch where this debu-
tante prefers to sit. Another white
fur rug is thrown across it. Upon the
couch there are twenty pillows, all in
green and white The white ones
have lilies embroidered or painted
upon them, and the green ones show
the lily flowers in full opening. You
can almost sniff their fragrance.
When receiving in this room the de
butante will wear very pale green
gown with white ribbons and chiffon
Her jewelry viii be green and white
pearls and emeralds, and she will toy
with a white fan with green sticks
viii she not be calculated to dazzle
the eyes of all who behold her? And
is her boast of lasting through a
season" likely to be realized? Will
she, TOO, not be plucked too soon?

JOHN JAMES DYNAMIC GHOST.
SpOOk That Drives Watchmen
Away From an Alabama SawmIII.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
In the bottoms of the Tombigbee river,
a few miles above it's confluence with the
Alabama, is a deep. lagoon-like lake, To-
cally known as David's lake On the west
ern shore of the lake are a Single mill
and a row of a half dozen shanties, intend
ed as houses for the mill hands, all tho
property of the Seaboard Lumber Com
pany, at Fairford, few miles away.
The mill has been idle for some time and
the shanties untenanted, owing to a de-
preston in the market for cypress shin
giles. 1t has been necessary, however,
in order to preserve the validity Of GER
tain insurance policies, to keep a watch
man constantly in charge there. Up to
a short time ago the Waterman was a
certain crippled negro named John James
John James job was negros ideal OF
a soft job. All the work he had to do was
to light a lantern in the mill at dark,
blow 1t out in the morning, and never un-
der any circumstances to leave the mill
unguarded. The company paid him $50
month, furnished q dwelling, a mule, and
a pillow, together with just as much land
as he might want to cultivate. The lake
was fun of fish, toothsome and easy 10
catch.
Therefore John James was much envied
by his fellows. But on an unlucky even
ing about shutdown he padded his boat
out in the lake to set some lines for big
catfish. His wife saw him start. and when
she looked again little later there was
an upturned boat but no John James.
The neighbors were hurriedly called, ana
in the gathering gloom they dragged the
bottom with graphing irons and brought
to the surface the drowned body of the
Waterman. How he happened TO lose his
balance or why he made no outcry. will
in alp reliability never be known.
OF course, the company over at Fair
ford regretted the affair, paid the widow
Johns back salary, at once sent down an
ether negro as Waterman, and things
seemed to move along about as before.
In a few days a company official chanc-
ed to go TO David's Lake, and was surprfs-
ed TO find the new Waterman gone. and
also the company's mule. The animal was
found later at a station over on the rail-
road. where the operator stated it had
been ridden IN early one morning by an
hgitated negro, who had left on the first
