had ever seen a picture of the man who wrote it. The pen name was Lewis Car roll" but the real author was Prof. Char.es l.. Dodgson, of Oxford, England, (born in 1S32) He was clergyman and mathema- tician, and never acknowledged the au- thorship of the Alice books. To corres- pondents for his autograph, he replied with a curiously worded printed slip, in which he says that Professor Dodgson does not acknowledge any books but those that bear his own name." pr. Dodgson died the other day, and the newspapers told who he was and thousands of his debtors iden- tified him for the first time as Lewis Car roll" And so it seems that even a suc- cessful author, if he really yearns for pri- vacy may have it and keep it if he only persists in wanting it.
 There seems to be quite a fad in vogue among present day young writers in giv- ing their stories a foreign setting, that is, foreign travel indulged in by the charac- ters of the book To say that this is a most delightful mode of giving us those oftentimes, wearisome books of travel, is not to be gainsaid. Then, too, it presup- poses a vast amount of thoroughly ac- quired and digested information on the part of the author. Its an idea of mine that Richard Harding Davis, the Local Pet, first set this fashion in his very clev- CT little story 1.-The Princess Aline" all the more so because this young gentleman Is
 
 CTS have not been slow in recognizing the immense advantage gained in novelty, or iginality and picturesqueness Of sett ng Frank R. Stockton employed incidentally a voyage to South America as the basis of his very delightful book, ''The Adventures of Captain Horn," and even so prominent an author as A. Conan Doyle contributed to an exceedingly artistic whole by the details of a trip up the Nile, with which he evidently had a. personal experience Following in their illustrious lead is a young Chicago author, Henry B. Fuller, whose most successful book is ''The Cheva- Her of Pensieri-Vani" Mir. Fullers little volume is very appropriately named "From the Other Side" and is collection of very charming short stories. The initial one IS possibly the best, and is an entertaining elimpse given of party of tourists who happen to find themselves in that romantic spot Licily, where, as the author says, "people feel as if they had about reached the Ultima Thule of the South, and where there exists, therefore, something of a disposition to hang together" The stories are all good, tho we do not read the work of MT. Fuller so much for the matter as for the form" for he is possessed of noth- ing less than that of mastery in the writ ing of English. Some one has said that "English is an instrument that Henry James can play on. No matter how vacu- ous the theme, verbal dexterity does his business" Where in the range of criticism does one short sentence truthfully express more? Very much the same thing might be said of MT. Fuller. His style is his chief est charm. yet his matter is interesting too, permeated as it is with fragmentary knowl- edge of strange, but fascinating land.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were put ting it a little strong because 1t is generally thought by the majority of people that dyspepsia in its chronic form is incurable, or practically so. But we have long since shown that dyspepsia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as 1t first appears.
 The trouble with dyspeptics that they are continually dieting, starving them selves, or going to opposite extremes or else deluging the already over burdened stom- ach with "bitters' "after dinner pils etc., which invariably increase the diffi- culty even if in some cases they do give slight temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply make matters worse. What the stomach wants Is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, re- cuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained.
 This is the great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success Of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a com paratively new remedy, but its success and popularity leaves no doubt as to its merits.
 The tablets will digest the food anyway, regardless of condition of stomach.
 The sufferer from dyspepsia according to directions is to eat an abundance or good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be, because as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly inac-
 
 if you take 800 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it in temperature of 9S degrees, and put with it one of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as II the meat was enclosed within the stomach.
 The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of di- gestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stomach will be given, to some extent, much need ed rest Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia none of them has given so com plete and general satisfaction as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not least in import ance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money.

of member his "chair" becomes vacant
 and the thirty-nine members elect a suc- cessor. The filling of the chairs with mediocrities was scored by Voltaire, and although the former practice of including noblemen and lawyers and others than lit erary lights, has been greatly changed, yet it is interesting to know that none of the most prominent men of letters in France have never been admitted. Alex ander Dumas, the elder, was never asked to join the academy, and it is said to be the dream of Zola's life to become an academician. In literary circles the ques- tion is, of course, being debated whether Zola's recent attitude and his sensational trial are likely to injure his chances of election to the academy, should he again insist on being candidate. Curiously enough, there are two opinions on the sub- ject. Some people hold that Zola's courage

The Academic Franchise is the most celebrated of the fine academies included in the Institute of France. It owes its ori- gin to Cardinald de Richelieu, who had conceived the idea of basing the glory of France not only on the power of her arms, but also on the influence of her language and literature. Men of letters had been in the habit of meeting periodically to dis cuss literary matters. The great minister determined to give to this association regular and legal form, so, on the 2ndNof January, 1885, the newly formed French Academy received letters patent signed by Louis XII.
 The first task undertaken by them was the purification of the language. This has occupied 1t throughout most of its exist ence. It consisted from the beginning of forty members elected for life, to each of whom is assigned his seat. On the death

With equal justice might they claim we would not interfere to their disadvantage; that our ports should remain open to both par ties as they were before the commence ment of the struggle; that our laws regu- lating commerce with foreign nations should not be changed to their injury. On these principles the United States have acted.
