 Fairy tales and purely imaginative lit erature has not been overlooked in the quest for fact and reality. A. T. Quiller- Couch has just written volume Of 4Fla;iry Tal:ts" in the charming style which has made him distinguished. Dc- rclhy Sinclair has given us sayings ana Do.ngs in Fairyland," which are, she tells us, old friends with new faces.
 "Fairy Stories and Wonder Tales" by Dr. Thomas Dunn English, is an excel lent volume, illustrated by Elizabeth s. Tucker. It includes some seventeen tales As good as any is 1.-The Pumpkin Dwarf" which has the real old fairy story '.wang Beatrice Haralson offers to ths public "A New Book of the Fairies, which is not so good as some others. But then not every one liked the Ships That Pass in the Night
 But surely th4 cream of artistic work is found among the books fcd' the wee tiny folks. Half a dozen may here be briefly mentioned: "Nursery Finger Plays" by Emilie Poulsson, and Make Believe Men and Women are dellght- fully wholesome and amusing, and With the numerous full page color plates after water colocs by Maude Humphrey make extremely charming books. The st-ries and verses are by Elizabeth s Tucker. Little Grown Ups" and "Old Young sters' alre companion volumes by these same popular authors and artists books which will not fail to charm and delight the little ones
 '"The Plant Baby and Its Friends" by Kate Louise Brown, shows that b1tani- cal treatise may be so prepared as ito fas- climate even the youngest children. "Adventud'.ns in Joyland," by Edith King Hall is extremely delicate and fan ciful. The stories are dramtic, interest ing and effective and should be received with something of the favor that greeted 'tAlice in Wonderland"

other American writer, and, like the Jungle Sba.i .iels," rhare Is something tn the work that appeals Ito every age. Like this ether stori5s this one is equipped with capital pictures by Oliver Herford.
 Ano.her class of books that is gain- ing great favor are those which contain ard authors; and 1t is praise well merit ed, too. Child Sketches from George Eliot" by Julia MagruGer, is amongst the best. GEmpses at the boys and girls
 in the romaEces of the great novelist are given, from Adam >Bede," "The MiA on the Floss" Middle March," Daniel Dero1da" and others.
 The book opsns With the childhood of George Eli0,-Mary Ann Evans-and it is more than probable that the effect upon young readers of these sketches time comes, Ito the study and apprecta ton of her magnificent works of English fiction.
 I'll venture 10 say that even mature readers, long since familiar with Eliot and Dickens and o.[ner constartly read authors, will be surprised from an ac- quaintance with these books to learn of the beauty and skill possessed in the depletion of these numerous child char ac.ers. Detached from .heir surround and simplicity, and readily appeal with strength and beaC,.y to the reader. "Chil- dren's stories from Dickens" Is one of -hese. From the text one acquires even more than speaking acquaintance wf.h '"Trotty" "Tiry Tim,'' Poor Joe," Lit tile Nell" and the many others which teem among the pages of Dickens.

The Stevenson Song Book" contains twenty of the most lyrical poems f.pm Robsrlt Louis Stevenson's 'sChild's Gar den of Verses" It is fitting companion to Songs of Childhood by Eugene Field. In both of thess books the verses were set to music by Reginald De Kovsn and r-ther popular composers and they form lareasured companions to the Mttle folks.

Many live under the needless inf1ic-
tion of indigestion, nervousness. con-
stipation, and general weakness, and
endure the consequent loss of health
without considering how easily the
cause of all this illness might be
remedied.
Needful nerve and tissue nourish-
ment is 1.-THE bottom of all permanent
building upof the health.
I Paine's celery compound looks out
for the insidious weakening of the
nervous system through malnutrition.
1t gives healthy tone to the stomach,
increases the blood supply, quiets and
equalizes the irritated nerve action and
promptly feeds the tissues when the
bodily vigor is at its lowest ebb, and
should not be further taxed.
The only cure, therefore, for rheu-
matisn1, neuralgia OF general debility
that is lasting in good effects must
rest on a radical cleansing of the blood
and building fupaof the nervous tis-
sues. All this is best done by Paine's
|scelery compound, because this re-
markable remedy begins at the Begin
ming, wherever there is disease, and
establishes the health firmly and be.

The worn-out person5 who cannot

every hour taken from sleep is an hour

ment Both may be supplied and a
healthy condition insured by using
Paine's, celery compound.
The stay and staff of sound health is
we'll nourished and we'll regulated
nerves. Sufferers from sleeplessness,
nervous dyspepsia or headache may
be sure that every reservoir Of nerve
force has been tapped and exhausted
by work, worry, too little sleep, or
faulty nourishment, because of poor
digestion and assimilation. AS soon
as such signs of nervous exhaustion
are noticed, shaky hands, broken
sleep, poor appetite, wasting diseases,
neuralgia or dyspepsia, take advan-
tage of the remarkable restorative and
regulating action of Paine's celery
compound
Nervous disorders increase in sort

times easier to put a stop to nervous
debility in its earlier stages than later
on to correct nerve and brain exhaus-
ton, that may be complicated by heart,
kidney or some other organic trouble.
Paine's celery compound must not
be confounded with any of the .plaus-
ible sounding, but really temporary
makeshifts, whosecurcs are never per

bring deferred hopes that make the
