What has been done of late in the edu-

The first instalment of John kendrick
Bangs new story, 1.-The Enchanted
Typewriter, appears in the current
number of Harper's Weekly. In 1t Mr..

have passed across the Styx. The Type
writer itself Is an aged machine which
is resurrected from the rubbish of the
writer's attic. La the silent hours of the
night ne hears the keys mysteriously
clicking and finds that the operator is
none other than the shade of James
Boswell, who gives him much humorous
and interesting information on affairs in
the lower regions. The tale is told with
all the authors wellknown wit and
cleverness of style.

From the day that a young man starts
NJ to seek his first position to the end of
his business life, his health has a world tc
do with his success. When a young man
applies to a business man for a position, his
personal appearance has a deal to do with
the outcome. Personal appearance does
not mean dress alone. 1t does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfgured by u~nsightly
pimples, eruptions and alterations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead of
receiving the life-giving elements of the
food, it receives the foul emanations OF
Indigestion, bilousness and costiveness.
The reason that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy fol
disorders of this description is that it goes
right to first causes. 1t gives a man an
appetite " like a horse" It facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. 1t corrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes the
assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food perfect. 1t invigorates the
liver. 1t purifes and enriches the blood.
It makes the muscles strong and active.
1t tones and steadies the nerves. 1t makes

MONTERREY.

We were not many-we who stood
Before the iron sleet that day
Yet many gallant spirit would
Civ half his years If but he could
Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot it haiTd
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not a single soldier quail'd
When wounded comrades round them
valid
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And on-still on our column kept
Through walls of flame its whitening
way,
Where fell the dead, the living slept,
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets Of Monterey.
The foe himself recoil'd, aghast,
When, striking where he strongest lay.
We swooped his thanking batteries past
And, Drawing full their murderous blast,
Storm'd home the towers of Monterey.
n there our evening bugles play,
Where orange boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We are not many-we who press'd
Beside the brave who fell that day
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have been at Monterey?

A Wise Cook,

Strange to say, they had an Irish
cook in the Curragh camp, and he was
no great shakes as a cookist. There was
a big saucepan Of soup on the fire one
day, and it was to go to fill the bread
baskets of two separate parties of men.
The first group were ready for their
soup, but it came not, sc they sent to
interview the cook.
"Where's the soup?"
There it was Oh the fire, and the EN-.
erald chef took off the lid, observing
that the stuff was simmering, as evil
denced by the bubbles blowing and
bursting round the edges of the pot.
"Sure," said the Paddy, "it's all
right and boiling half of it is. I'll take
out the boiling part that's round the
edges, and the rest will be hot in time
for the next party. ALLY Sloper.

MILLINERY NOTES.
Hats and Their Various Shapes an,
Preferred Trimmings.

Hats and Their Various Shapes and
Preferred Trimmings.
Hats are, generally speaking, Of medium
dimensions, and the brim Is frequently
lifted in front or at the sides or back. Felt
is more often employed than stretched
velvet for round hats, but for toques,
draped, shirred and twisted velvet is the
material par excellence. Toques differ
this season from those of last year in hav-
ing a lower crown and being less high at
the side. There is, however, always a
side trimming which lifts them to a GER
tain extent-a cluster of flowers, a torsade
of ribbon or velvet or choux fastened by
jeweled ornaments, above which are two
or three tall, curving plumes. These
toques are often Of very delicate colors to
accompany ceremonious toilets.

lively color, such as turquoise, shrimp

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneumo-
MIA always results from a cold or from
an attack of la grippe. During the cpl
deniic of la grippe a few years ago,
When so many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of a cold or la grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. 1t is the best rem
edy in the world for bad colds and la
grippe. Every bottle warranted. For
