The "Aristocraey of books

In one of his finest essays, Sesame
and Lilies" Ruskin calls books the
Court Of the Past" and his remark
Is preface to this splendid bursti
"This court differs from all living
aristocracy in this-it Is open to labor
and merit, but to nothing else. No
wealth will bride, no name oVerawe,
no artifice deceive, the guardian of
these Elysian gates. In a deep sense.
no vile or vulgar person ever enters
there. At the portiers of that silent
Faubourg st. GERMAN, there is but
brief question. DO you deserve to en-
ter? Pass. Do you ask to be the COM
panions of mobiles? Make yourself
noble, and you shall be. Do you long
to understand it, and you shall hear it.
But on other terms? No. If you will
not rise to us we cannot stoOp to you"
1t Is of 1.-The company we keep" that
Ruskin Is speaking, and of our neglect
Of books-this court of kings and
statesmen, lingering patiently in those
plainly furnished and narrow ante
rooms-our bookcase shelves-we make
no account of that company-perhaps
never listen to word they would say
all day long"
OF the solace, the pleasure and the
elevating influence of books almost
every great man has left some record,
though few perhaps more eloquently
than Ruskin, in the passage quoted.
But 1t is of the great books that they
speak-the vital and enduring part of
the literature of the ages, and not the
ephemeral and short-lived product that
goes under the name Of current litera-
ture. .....
1t Is the supreme merit of Charles
Dudley Warmers new Library of the
Worlds Best Literature that, while it
does not neglect living Writers-as q
matter of fact, 1t includes scores Of
them-it puts these in their right per-
spective; 1t sets them out in their true
relationship to great writers of other
ages and Of other lands. There is a
vast help in this. For example, moth
ing could afford q finer opportunity for
a study of comparative literature. But
more than all this, to gain an acquain-
lance with 'the master spirits of all
ages broadens the intellectual horizon
and saves us from q narrow provincial
ism alike as regards our country and
our time.
The new library is indeed a means
for the broadcast and most liberal edu-
cation, and its vast usefulness lies in
the fact that 1t is open to busy men
and women whose leisure and hours for
reading are scant In the library
nothing is superfiuous; there is no pad
ding; only the great literature Of the
world is there; and it has been COM
pacted, by the most skillful and intelli-
gent minds, into the briefest possible
compass. Nothing like it, nothing ap-
preaching it has ever appeared before.
This paper does not hesitate to recon-
mend this library in the highest terms
to our readers and would suggest that
you write direct to Harper's Weekly
Club, 277 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill,
for sample pages and specimen por-
traits, and ask for the Introductory
price and liberal terms by which the
library can now be secured.

the lips of the welded couple to whose
home there never comes the patter of
childish feet
One cause, more than any other, con-
tributes to making the tens of thousands
of childless, and consequently unhappy,
homes all over this country. The cause is
often the unconseio fault of the wife. A
woman who suffers from weakness and dis
ease of the distinctly feminine organism is
unified for motherhood, and if she has
children it will probably be at the sacrifice
of her own life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is wonderful medicine for wom-
en- who suffer in this way. 1t acts directly
on the delicate and important organs con-
cerned IN wifehood and motherhood. It
makes them strong, healthy, vigorous, vi
rifle and elastic. 1t banishes the squeam-
ishness of the exPe2tant period and makes
baby's advent easy and almost painless. It
insures the little. newcomers health and
a bountif1l supply of nourishment. Thou
sands of homes that were childless and
unhappy now echo with the prattle of
healthy babyhood, as the result of the use
of this marvellous medicine.

indication of being IN any different
mood than on the many previous &C.
casions when he had gone over the
same run. The train was running at
ordinary speed, and the fireman was
busy at his customary duties. Sudden
ly something impelled the engineer to
turn his glance from the track ahead
to the interior of the cab. just after
Williams had dropped his shovel and
plunged head first into the terrible
fiery furnace,
It took but a few seconds for Burke
to grasp him by the heels and pull him
out, though from the position Of the
body q great eXertion was required
and the. heat from the open mouth Of
the firebox was so great as to make
the act a trial In itself. Quick, how
ever, as had been Burke's action, the
fire had already done it's deadly work.
The upper portion Of the mans body
was horrible, and life was extinct. In
deed, death must have resulted almost
instantaneously with the plunge into
the hot pit. Williamson was married,
and nobody suspected he had any
trouble.
Advices Of Williamson's death, as
above described, were received at the
general offices of the Northern Pa
cific yesterday, and are to the effect
that the dead fireman was attached to

FRENCH JINGOISM.

The momentary check, caused by the
Marquis of Salisbury's bluff, has been
followed by a recrudescence of lingo
ism in France which has been intensi-
fed by the arrival in Paris yesterday
Of the band of the cars, Probrajensy
regiment, which has been sent to the
French capital as an earnest Of Rus
sian friendship. Another incentive has
been found in the Announcement that
a strong detachment of Russian cav
airy and artillery will shortly sail from
Odessa to Djibutit, and thence will go
to King Menelik's capital, with the OBJ
ject of assisting the French to thwart
the British in grabbing Central Africa.
Consequently, the tone Of the Paris
newspapers is again excited. They are
claiming that the position of France
is unassailable, both by virtue Of JUS
tice and recent military operations,
which, it is asserted, assure the para
mount occupation Of all the Niger ter
ritory already hypothecated on the
French maps, and the French minister
for foreign affairs, M. Hanotaux, is
being urged not to make any conces-
sions.
