The Forum For 1907.

During 1897 The Forum will contain
many features of extraordinary interest;
and no effort or expense will be spared to
maintain the high character and usefulness
of this most popular and widely read re-
view. Never before in the history of The
Forum have so many interesting tasks been
laid out for it as are now in hand by the
most distinguished writers of both hemi-
spheres.
The aim of The Forum is to present the
best literature of contemporaneous activity
in every important pursuit. The Forum
reaches larger audience than any other
non-illustrated publication, and more in
fuential audience than any other publica-
ton of any class; and it is, in consequence,
the channel for the most suggestive men to
give forth their best utterances.
ITO read The Forum is to keep in touch
with the best thought of the day. To be
without 1t is to miss the best help to clear

A Comfortable Sort of Woman.

Said a homely, bent little man pathetic
ally. when speaking of the mother of his
children, who had done her life work: SIT
comforts me awfully to know that Sally
would allus lie down every afternoon an
sleep bit. Some folks thought twas a
dreadful lazy habit an twas no wonder
we didn't get rich faster, but she suited
me just as she was. Sally was comfort
able sort of woman to have around, new
or frettin at q fellow or faultin him when
things didn't go right. When feelin
troubled she'd often say, Father, believe
I'll lie down for few minutes; then back
she'd come spry an clipper as n canary
bird. Sally didn't drive an scold, but
she wasn't lazy, an she brought up the
youngsters to do their part. l don't see
that drivin women get on one mite better
than she did. 1t does comfort me to know
that Sally would take her rest. SELECTED.

Care of q Polished Floor.

Excessive soap and water are bad. Soap
or soda should not touch the floor. Cold
tea leaves are good for vanished surfaces,
and little household ammonia in the wa
ter is cleansing. A dingy waxed floor may
be rewaxed and polished-and bad spot
can be built up again with varnish or wax
from the bare wood. Stains are sometimes
caused by water acting on the fannie acid
Of the wood through worn spot In the
varnish. Apply hot oxalic acid, diluted
to the strength of good cider vinegar, and
leave on for three hours. Remove careful
ly with clean water, coat thinly with shell
lac varnish, sandpaper, clean Off and put
on good elastic varnish or wax. Oxali0
acid is better and safer than muriatic acid
and vinegar.
Floors, unless very bad, may be treated
with a mixture of raw linseed oil and tur-
pentine, equal parts, rubbed on with a
chamois or soft wooden rag. An oil finish
is the most durable, most economical and
most easily kept clean.

Coffee drinkers may be interested to
know the opinion of some competent
physicians in regard to the use of Postum,
the grain drink, in place of coffee. Let
it be understood that the manufacturers
do not decry the use of coffee by healthy
persons, but there is great army of in
teligent men and women of the present
day who cannot stand the steady, daily
poison of coffee, tobacco and whiskey

One of the best friends that General
Grant ever had was Horace Porter. Their
first meeting was at Chattanooga in the au-
tump of 1868, and soon after General then
Captain) Porter became member of
Grants staff and served with him constantly
until Lees surrender. When Grant became
President Horace Porter was made his pri-
vate secretary. and until General Grant
breathed his last at Mt. McGregor the two
men were close friends. Nor did General
POrter's love for his chief cease with death,
for to him is due the success of the move
ment to raise the half million dollars which
the Grant monument in Riverside Park will
cost. The Inauguration of the tomb will
take place next spring, on General Grants
birthday, and General Porter will be the
orator of the occasion.
During these years of intimacy with
Grant General Porter kept diary, and in
his moments of leisure he has arranged his
unique stories of anecdote and memoranda
into a series of twelve articles entitled
campaigning with Grant," and The Cen
fury Magazine has secured all rights in the
series and will print it during the coming
year. Since the famous Century War
Series" for which General Grant himself
wrote four articles (the beginning of his

Beecher as a Slave Auctioneer.

Even people Of mature age whose memo
ry is clear abont matters before and after
the war have practically forgotten that Hen
ry Ward Beecher used his pulpit in Pym-
outh church, Brooklyn, as an auction
block for slaves. The most famous of his
'slave sales" was that of the beautiful
slave girl, Sarah, and it was upon this occa-
sion that the most exciting scenes ever wit
messed in Plymouth church, or any other
American church for that matter, occurred.
Mr.. Beecher was unusually dramatic; he
put fire into his words, as he stood the
slave girl on the platform beside him, which
fairly burned into the hearts of his audi
tors. 1t was not long before the people be-
came hysterical with excitement. But
Beecher kept on until he was ready to pass
the collection baskets. Then the auditors
gave vent to their feelings, and not only
heaps of money was put into the baskets
but men and women took off their rings,
unfastened their watches and threw them
into the baskets and on the platform. 1t
was remarkable scene, and such one as
probably will never be equaled in this
country. Mrs. Beecher recalls the event
with wonderful vividness in her article in
the Christmas Ladies' Home Journal when
she tells the whole story of "When MIR.
Beecher Sold Slaves in Plymouth Pulpit"
The scene itself is remarkably we'll brought
to the eye of the reader by striking illustra-
ton made by De Thulstrup from material
furnished the artist by Mrs. Beecher.
