LITERARY NOTES.
WILL CARLETON's MAGAZINE.

WILL Carleton magazine EVERY WHERE, fer
OCTOBER, is one of the most interesting of tie
many monthlies that have come to hand. That
exactly how to make magazine thst will enter
tain every body, and, at the same time, instruct
without tiring the reader. Two poems by Mr..
Carleton, in this number, will take high place
among the myriad tributes to the martyred
President. Not especially comforting, but a
huly beautiful expression of an eternal truth, is
the following stanza:
"a man has died-and SO have myriads more
They will, while yet this dying earth lives on;
But when leader makes the utmost shore,
We sadly look toward where his ship has gone,
And only get this message from the dead:
Study the past: my words have all been
said."
COSMOPOLITAN.
LITTLE is thought and less is known by the
average man concerning the lives and aims of
the 100000 men and boys who delve under the
surface Of the earth in places of darkness and
danger, where hardly day goes by without
recording the death by falls of rock, coal or slate
of more than one unfortunate miner. An article
on this subject at once impartial and vitality
interesting is contributed to THE COSMOPOLITAN
for October by John Mitchell, President of the
United Mine Workers of America, whom every
one recalls as the man who organized the miners
and carried through to successful termination
the great anthracite strike of 1900.

such a great falling of, although diphtheria and
bronchitis, cholera infantum and the diarrhoeal
disorders Of adults, general debility and typhoid
fever, closely approach it. For most of these
changes it is easy to find some explanation in
the improved sanitation of cities and greater
painstaking with food ana water supplies. But
other influences. Consumption is now dealt
with more effectively than ever before, because
the fact that it is often curable is recognized.
And Behring's antitoxin, which is scarcely ten
years old, perceptibly restricts the ravages "f
diphther,a.
Unfortunately, however, there are a few
maladies which show an increased mortality.
From pneumonia there were l9l 8 deaths among
every 10000 people in 1900 and only 1869 in
1890. The difference is slight, but it is suffi-
cent to put this disease slightly ahead of con-
sumption as a destroyer of human life Here
again it is not hard to find a reason for the
change. 1t is scarcely dozen years since what
is now known as influenza invaded this country.
The census bulletin shows that the deaths
directly assigned to it rose from 6.2 in 1890 to
1873 in 1900. But the effects did not stop there.
Pneumonia is one of the most common seouels
of the grip, and often begins its demands on
patients vitality when the latter is already
pretty we'll exhausted. Thus the chances of
recovery are materially diminished But for
this new complication it is possible that pneu.
monia, like consumption, diphtheria and bron-
chitis, would show an appreciable falling off in
its havoc.
The other maladies the death rate for which
has grown to a notable degree are cancer apo
rlexy and arrangements of the heart and kid
neys. So impertectly is the origin of the first of
these ills understood that ii is difficult to con-
lecture why its activity has been enlarged. But
one cannot avoid regarding the increased pro-
portion of deaths from the other causes here
referred to as indications that the high pressure
life OF cities is proving more exacting than ever
before. Business and social demands, excite.
ment of one form or another, high living and
lack of exercise work out their legitimate results
in spite of the best efforts of the doctors. No,
will the best Of general sanitary measures make
any difference with these particular disorders
Evidently if any check is to be put upon NOR
tality from them the people must apply i
themselves.

She Had a Mcircua. ,,

A lady over at Sedalia had an inter-
esting evening recently, what her big
brother irreverently calls 'circus."
She had expected caller, Dr. Grow,
who came in good time, and they were
pleasantly chatting when the maid an
nounced ''Mr. Hogg." 1t was not an
unusual occurrence, however for the
doctor and BILLY Hogg" to find them
selves calling on the same lady at the
same time, but they were somewhat
surprised when the bell rang and after
few moments Mr.. Bear was announc-
ed. The young lady had not noticed
the coincidence of the names, but the
maid evidently had, for notwithstand-
ing the fact that she had been trained
not to betray any feeling in the pres
ence of guests, it was with a decided
giggle that she few moments later es-
corted Mr.. Lyon into the parlor. The
lady managed them all, however, to ev-
erybody's satisfaction, it is needless to
say.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Wen Dressed woman.


The grievous faults with the femi-
nine wardrobe are found in the bottom
of skirts, the footwear, the hand COW
erings, the wells and neckwear.
Skirt bindings wear out rapidly when
woman does much walking, no mat
ter how short the skirt. Just the fric-
ton caused by a skirt striking against
the body tells upon the facing and
bindings. A careful watch should be
kept over these places, and repairs
should be made before the damage is
noticeable to any but the keen inspec-
ton of ones own eyes.
Shoes ought to be carefully fitted and
brushed each day to remove every par
ticle of dust. When needed a polish
should be put upon them, either at
home or at any of the regular boot
backing establishments. Fresh laces
should be put in when the old ones be-
gin to look dingy and frayed, and but
tons should be changed as soon as the
polish wears away.
Good looking hands are an immense
satisfaction. Pretty wells are not ex-
pensive, SO no woman has an excuse
for wearing one after the mesh has
broken. Poverty and neglect stand
out all over the woman who stretches
a damaged veil over her features or al
lows her finger tips to protrude through
her gloves. AS for neckwear-well, alb
solute cleanliness is particularly ex-
pected of the well groomed woman.
She must be immaculate in that re-
spect if she changes every hour in the
day.

One of the newest trades for women
Is blacksmithing, and Miss Esther
Searle of Sawker City, Kan, Is the
pioneer. She adopted it in the way in
which unusual occupations generally
are taken up-by chance. Her father
is blacksmith and has been assisted
at the forge by his son, and last sum-
mer, when the young man was away
on his vacation, Miss Searle thought
that the work was too much for her
father alone, SO she went into the forge
and soon learned to WELD the heavy
hammer with ease and skill. When
her brother returned Miss Searle found
herself so interested in her novel work
that she continued to go to the smithy
every day for an hour or so. She found
that her biceps were so developed that
she could swing the heaviest hammer
easily and that her chest measurement
had increased several inches in the
short period.
