Literary Note.

The April number Of The Century will
have an important groupe of papers devoted
to the Pennsylvania coal-felds. Henry
Edward Rood, in "A PolyglOt Community"
describes the coming of the Italians, Sloyaks,
and Polacks, who have so largely taken the
places of the English-speaking miners. He
also takes up the sociological side of the
question: and tells of the mode of life Of the
foreign cOliery operatives of their festivals
and merry -makings, and finally considers
what has been said for and against the
company store Jay Hambidge gives
IAN Artists Impressions Of the
Colliery Region" Mr.. Hambidge
visited the Lattimer region and
has drawn a number Of illustrations for his
own and Mr.. Rood's article. There are sew
eral pictures of Lattimer and its surround
ngs, as well as typical portraits OF the
miners and their families, illustrating the
pecuiarties of the different races. Mr..
Hambidge's iticle describes in a graphic
way tho picturesque phases of life in the
foreign quarters. Edward Atkinson, the
noted economist, writes Of The Advantage
Of England aud the United States IN the
Worlds Commerce England from its man
ufacturing power and the United States from
its vast deposits of coal and iron. Edward

OR. Herbert A. Coryn in the National Review }
I'VE know that congested liver produces
gloom, perhaps leading to suicide; another
kind of gloom is perhaps due TO congested
spleen a disorderly heart produces appre-
hension of coming danger certain intestinal
conditions produce fear; morbid conditions
of other organs near the sense of strength
and manhood or womanliness. We know
also few converse truths That gloom OF
despair may induce jaundice that good news
will make the heart beat vigorously tina
cheerfulness will calm and regulate its beat
that fear and anxiety may paralyze diges-
ton"
We know also beyond any doubt that
Beecham's Pills, the established and staple
liver regulator the world over, will so re-
organize the working system of the human
body that c6ngested, morbid or disordered
conditions in men and women are absolutely
and entirely removed, and with the ensuing
good health come bright eyes and a happy
heart. Beecham's Pills are for sale the world
over at quarter a box, although on their
merits they are known proverbially to be
worth guinea a box"
