What shall we read TO greatest profit
is question Of greater moment than
many think it is, for a serious percent
age of books are not worth reading at
all. Some one has written "We know
that books differ In value as much as
diamonds differ from the san,is on the
seashOre;" therefore the first intel
lectual task of our age is to rightly or
der and make serviceable the vast
realm of printed material which four
centuries have swept across our path.
Shall we pass the novelist, the
poets, the historian, the scientific
writer and enter the field of literary
criticism?
Next to the pleasure of reading in
teresting books is the pleasure of

"Next to the originator of good SEN

The story of Mr.. Rabbit, in white

bit makes fool of the hippopotamus,
as in general the negro tales extol the
weaker elements who triumph over the

mate or environment materially
change the negro; no matter what age

about in the great black parcel of NOR

Now we find Geological Progress of
the Century," by Henry SmIsh Will

of the whole matter is, "As of the

one that has preceded it,"
"The Captured Dream" by Octave
Thanet. La ITS finale the author pa

We pass on to the "EditOr's Study"
A thousand and one pertinent ques-

abuse and perversion. Many reasons
are gwen, but we fear the reformatory
conclusion for the world will be many
years before realized. Would that
this study could be placed under the
eye of all who read for purpose.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

A woman cannot be too careful of her
health. Her happiness as maid, wife and
mother is dependent upon it. Every wo-
man should realize that her general health
depends upon her health in womanly way.
When a woman complains of being slug
gish, dizzy, nervous and respondent the
average doctor attributes these symptoms
to heart trouble, or disorders of the liver.
He is not right once in ten times.
When a woman feels this way she is usu-
ally suffering from weakness or disease of
the organs distinctly feminine. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the best of all
known remedies for suffering women. 1t
acts directly on the delicate and important
organs that bear the burdens of maternity.
1t makes them strong, healthy and vigor-
Gus. Thousands of women who were weak,
nervous, fretful and unhappy wives are to-
day happy, healthy, helpful and robust as
the result of the use of this marvellous REM
edy. 1t is the discovery of an eminent and
skillful physician, Dr. r. v. Pierce, for
thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. During those years, with
the assistance of staff of able physicians,
he has prescribed for many thousands of
ailing women. He will gladly, without
charge, answer letters from suffering wo-
men. The "Favorite Prescription " is for
sale by all good medicine dealers and moth
ing else is "just as good"
Sister Eliza L. de Falcon, of Corpus Christi,
Nueces Co., Tex, writes: This is to tell you
