A New international Literary Journal.

A New International Literary Journal
1t is our privilege to announce
the early appearance Of a weekly
journal which will be entitled Lit
erotue, and will be published in
England by the proprietors of the
London Times, and in America by
Mcssrs. Harper q Brothers. Its
first number will be issued in Lon
don and New York, toward the end
of October. ,M
The admirable distinctness and
singlcness ofpurpose that mark this
new periodical find expression in its
title. Literature, and literature
alone, is to be its theme. The aim
of its publishers will be to make it
essentially the organ of the literary
CLASSES in the widest sense of the
term, impartial and authoritative in
it, literary criticism, and a comprc-
hcnsivc and trustworthy medium of
literary intelligence. An earnest
and an honest attempt will be made
to deal with the best literature of
every country on its literary merits
alone, without prejudice, without
national prcposscs,ions. To Eng
lish and To American works Il Ger
tain prominence will almost newt
ably he given but this natural pre-
ference will not exclude reviews OF
the more important of the volumes
issuing from the publishing centres
ON the continent Of Europe.
Though Literature will consist
mainly of reviews Of books, it will
invite correspondence on and will
itself deal with any literary subject
of permanent or of current interests
TO the writing, publishing, or read
ing world. The rule of anonymity

views, though not with unvarying
strictncss and a refreshing novelty
is suggested in the statement that
every cndcavor will be made 20 find
room for the proper expression OF
adverse views over the signature of
any correspondent. 1t is proposed
to publish weekly, or as often as the
occasion may arise, biography of
some topic of the time, in order to
furnish the reader with Il list Of all
the works which can be consulted
on the sbbjcct. The record of new
publications will be made as COM
pletc as possible, but in the selcc-
ton of books for review the editor
will be guided solely by his iudg-
ment of their literary value. This
seems to be, or should seem to be,
a matter of course, but, in point of
fact, it is a noteworthy innovation,

Better Banking Facilities.

The New England States and
New York are fairly well supplied
with savings banks. Moreover, the
banks in these states are much safer
than the great majority of the saw
ings institutions that are to be found
in other parts of the country. The
savings banks of the New England
states and New York are what are
known as mutual savings banks,
managed by trustees who derive no
profit from their operation. In
other sections the savings institu-
tions are almost entirely stock
banks, operated for the profit of the
stockholders and only too often to
the loss of the depositors. In the
seven eastern states refertcd to none
but the mutual banks are allowed
by law to do Il savings business. If
the people were to be limited to
private savings institutions as places
Of deposit, clearly every state ought
to follow the example of New York
and New England and provide for
mutual banks.
In the savings banks OF the Unit
ed States, as reported to the comp
trollcr Of the currency, there were
last year $685. 5,l94 dcpositors, with
deposits to their credit amounting to
81 ,9O1, ,l5G,271. Further, accord
ing to the comptroller Of the cur
rcncy, "ncarly so per cent Of both
number Of dcpositors and amount OF
deposits is represented by banks in
the New England states and New
York." These seven states have a
population of approximately 12,-
600, 900, or onc-sixth of that of the
entire country, yet the savings
banks of those states hold four
-iifihs OF the savings deposits OF the
country. Two-thirds of the saw
ings banks of the United States are
located in these seven states. Before
the entire country can be as well
supplied with savings-bank tacili-
ties several thousand new institu-
tions must be established.
The government has it in its
power to supply this need at once
by establishing the postal savings
bank system and making Use OF
postofliccs as places of deposit. I'm
til the government does this the pco-
pie will be without adequate saw
ings facilities. Private enterprise
will not meet the want for places OF
deposit for small savings. More
over, in the parts Of the country
now especially lacking savings ia
cilities, the tendency is to establish
stock savings banks, if any at all,
rather thap the more approved form
of mutual savings banks, which are
in use in the extreme eastern states.
Even in New England the postal

savings banks would be a decided
benefit, in furnishing the better ac-
commodations to the dwellers in
rural districts. They would also
be great convenience to the work
ers who move about from place to
place. But in other parts of the
country they are a necessity. Gu
riously enough, however, those con-
nected, with the mutual savings
banks of the east, where the de-
mand for additional saving facilities
is not so great, offer less objection
to postal savings banks than those
connected with the few savings
banks that are to be found in the
west and south. The reason, of
course, is that the latter make n
profit from handling the savings of
the poor, while the former do not.

Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1863 Dudley St.,
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:
"From childhood I was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and num-
ber, and soon covered my entire body.
my parents had me treated by num-
ber Of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tenn
porary relief was over, l found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus grew
into manhood, handicapped by terrible
disease, and having tried SO many rene
dies without relief, when friend urged
me to take S.S.S l had little faith in any
medicine. I was happy to find, however,
that had at last gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle OF S.S.S did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured.
I continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and am robust and strong. be-
lieve S.S.S. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world"
S.S.S. is real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,

or any disease caused by impure blood.

Gave Back
Ny Health,

There Is oreason for being despondent
and considering diseases Of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect a cure. Though
1t is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense OF hundreds Of dollars, to find
himself. no better as time goes
by, still q cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
ciic) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.

NO FAITH CURE.
ABOuT sTuART,s DYsrnrsh TABLnTs.

They cure Stomach Troubles and Indiges-
tion Anyway, whether You Have Faith
in Them OF Not
All physicians agree that the element Of
faith has great deal to do in the cure Of
disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a family
physician or the same confidence and faith in
a patent medicine, have produced remarkable
cures in all ages.
This is especially true in nervous troubles
and no field offers so prolific harvest for the
quack aud charlatan, as the diseases arising
from a weak or run down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common Of all dis
cases. indigestion and stomach troubles, which
in turn cause nervous diseases, heart troubles
consumption and loss Of flesh, requires some
thing besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food for you.
will not give YOU an appetite, will not increase
your flesh and strengthen your nerves and
heart but Stuars Dyspepsia Tablets will do
these things, because they are composed of
the elements Of digestion, they contain the
juices, acids and peptones necessary to the
digestion and assimilation of all wholesome
food.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest food
if placed in jar or bottle in water heated to
9S degrees, and they will do it much more
effectively when taken into the stomach after
meals, whether you have faith that they will
or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make pure
blood and strong nerves, in the only way that
nature can do it, and that is, from plenty Of
wholesome food well digested. 1t is not what
we eat, but what we digest that does us good.

IT IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are

ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your urine
for tweny-four hours a sediment OF settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
Kidneys When urine stains linen it is
evidence Of kidney trouble Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the

fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary

new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
