men and women Of great talent and in
dustry it has considerable rewards Of
money and reputation in store. But
these, too, are only the exceptions. for
journalism, like other intellectual pro-

too. in the writing profession is that
even distinguished men are obliged to
depend for the more certain substance
of their income on the work for which
they care least, but for which there is
larger market demand. In a recently
published letter of Robert Southey, q

melancholy confession. In discussing
the sources Of his income he says. "Per-

A Great National Literature.

"A UreaC N8CAO08A 1LlCeF6Vures
Mr.. Hamilton Mabie, genial and
discriminating critic, in q recent lec-
ture finds that lack Of great national
literature in America comes from our
lack of national unity from the racial
and sectional diversities which still ex-
ist here. When our life has become a
moral and spiritual unit, he maintains
and the local is swallowed up in na'
tional pride, then will come the great
art, the great book. ''There is some
depth which we have not touched yet
IN our art Of writing. There is some'
thing beneath us into which our roots
have not yet sunk down..
This analysis is palpably correct, q
truism in brief. But it does not cover
the whole Of the problem. The mold.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkhams address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
''My health became so poor that /
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. / was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as /
ever was. / have gained flesh and have
good color. l am completely cured Of
irregularity."

WAY 10 KIN Mosquitoes.

Two and one-half hours are required
for a mosquito to develop from its first
stage. a speck resembling cholera
bacteria, to its active and venomous
maturity. The insect in all It's phases
may be instantly killed ny contact with
minute quantities Of permanganate Of
potassium. II is claimed that one part
of this substance in 1900 Of solution
distributed in mosquito marshes will
render the development Of larvae I'M
possible; that a handful Of permangan-
ate will oxidize a ten-acre swamp, kill
its embryo insects, and keep it free
from organic matter for thirty days at
a cost Of twenty-five cents; that with
care a whole State may be kept free
of insect pests at a small cost. An eff
cacious method is to scatter few crys-
tails widely apart. A single pinch Of
permanganate has killed all the germs
in a thousand-gallon tenk.-The Pub
