A DUAL LITERARY LIFE

The recent death of Rev. Charles Lut-
widge Dodgson in England has made it
clear that some men lead dual
lives with equal success in each.
DR.. Dodgson was one of the most
noted mathematcians of his time,
being the author of many standard works
of Importance in the very highest branches
of that science, like Theory of Parallels" !"
ETC. He was a graduate of Oxford in 1854,
and when worn by study, he wrote, in 1865,
"Alice in Wonderland" and year later,
Through the Lookingglass,' under the
name of Lewis Carroll"-to whom the
reading world has attributed these wonder
full childrens stories. 1t was one of the
eccentricities of DIR. Dodgson that he never
publicly acknowledged the authorship of
"Lewis Carrol's' books. 1t is believed
that there is hardly a parallel to this du-
ality of literary genius.
The Publishers Circular says of this
wonderful man:
"His rooms in the northwest corner of
Wolseys great quadrangle contained cup
boards full of all sorts of fascinating
things. Those rooms in Christ church, it
has been remarked, were real wonder
land for many real child. From Mr..
Dodgson's cupboards musical boxes, me-
chanical performing bears, picture books
innumerable, toys of every description,
came forth in bewilderng abundance be-
fore the childs astonished eyes: no won
der, then, that in childish years n day
spent with Lewis Carroll was like a
glimpse into veritable Ell Dorado of in
nocent delights. Nor were MI Dodgsons S
little friends all of one class. He took fon
many years a deep interest in homes and
hospitals for sick children, and no incon-
siderable portion of the profits of his books
was devoted to those works of charity.
Mr.. Dodgson had beneath his twinkling
humor a deep fund of serious and relig-
ious earnestness. He used at one time to
issue a fly-leaf to every child who loves
Alice in which he sought to ming!e grave

A LOST LITERARY ART

There has been a manifest decline in

our best, indeed, even our main, impress
si0ns of literary men of former times
through the letters they wrote-letters to
everybody and upon all sorts of subjects.
In fact, they put their lives into letters
rather than into their books But all of
this is changed now. Nobody writes let
tiers, either in the old form or the old
numbers. The letter now is made a hasty
scrawl. The Nation, commenting upon
this, says:
"'How can I write letters cried Victor

Apart from this, there is feeling that

private. "A letter. exclaimed Gautier,

'Tis ofttmes claimed by demagogues,

And while this is in part quite true.
If those who raise this cry would do

The crew would laugh or frown

For the fraternity doth reign

That few men dare assert their rights

This jingle forcibly reminds one of the
phrasing in one of Sir Arthur Sullivans
operas. Possibly the poet bricklayer''
may turn out librettist after all; certainly
his work is better than Gilbert at his worst.

WOMAN TO WOMEN.
A Few Valuable Hints from Mrs. Annie

The expression was true. women 40

they need. Mrs. Annie Jenness Mliler

suit was her book physical Beauty

the subject of dressing and has done
much to aid women in this important
and delightful art She studied the sub
iect of Women's Physical Health and
rs a result discovered what she believes
to he the proper means of constantly
preserving it, In writing upon this sub
ject, she said:
1T gives me pleasure to express my
faith in the virtues OF Il Wel-knOWn dlS-
covery which is the only medicine | ever
take or recommend. Six years ago l re-
ceived the most pronounced benefit from
it's use at a time when suffering from
mental overwork, and | have subse-
ruently in my travels as public lectur-
err recommended it to many people and
personally know of several cases where
it has succeeded when the doctors fail

although l am now a perfectly we'll
woman, l take several bottles of Safe
Cure every spring, believing in the ounce
of prevention rather than the necessity
for the pound of cure, and, in every in
stance Safe Cure has the effect to give
new energy and vitality to all my pow

Mrs. Miller's experience has been pro-

TEACHING WITHOUT
A CERTIFICATE.
An Indictment May Possibly Lie al
Common Law, Says the Attor-


ney General.
In some sections of the State the inn
preston prevails that the Attorney Cen
eral has decided that teacher Is not
indictable for teaching without a CERT
ficate. This is not true.
Replying to a letter in regard TO this
matter Mr.. Walser yesterday wrote to
Mr.. J. NJ. Brinkley, of Glen Alpine,
as follows:
"In reply to your letter of this date,
| will say that | have not decided Il
person was not indictable for practic-
ing the profession of teaching without
Il certificate. | held that an indictment
would not lie under section 80 of the
Revenue Act Of 1897, but suggested that
such a person might be indicted on the
ground that when a statute makes the
commission or omission of an act unlaw-
ful and specifies no mode of proceeding,
the violation of its provisions is a mis-
demeanor punishable by indictment at
common law. State VS.. Parker, 81 n.
