AN AUTHORS WORKSHOP.
The Place Where Bulwer-Lytton
Could Write at Ease,


When Charles Mackay was visiting
Lord Lytton at Knebworth, he was Inn.
pressed, he says in his "Recollections," I"
with the beauty of the library. He re-
marked to the novelist that In such a
cheerful room among so many books
any author could get through a vast
amount of labor.
Il cannot write so well in the L.
brary." replied Lord Lytton, "as in an
other place. Take a stroll with me, and
l will show you my favorite study"
They went for a considerable dis
tance to the shore of an artificial lake
In Knebworth park, and there stood a
boathouse. A small boat was drawn
up on one side of 1t, and on the other,
near small window, stood a chair
and a common deal table, on which
was pewter inkstand.
Pulling open the drawer, Lord Lytton
showed his guest good supply of pa
per, pens and blotting book.
81 can write more freely here" he
said, than in the grand library. 1 will
tell you how the habit grew. When
was small boy, 1 was very ambitious
to write and wrote an immense amount
of trash. My mother thought that the
occupation of so much time In writing
would he injurious to my health and
prohibited my writing in the library.
II then had recourse to my bedroom,
but was in due time banished from
that and deprived of pen and ink The
more imperatively was forbidden to
write the more INDUCED in the pro-
hibited joy. took refuge in the boat
house and wrote for hours with a lead
pencil, using the seat of the boat for
my writing table. So learned to write
here, and 1 can do better work here
than anywhere else."-Youth's Com
panion,

What Men Like In Men.

Men like in men these traits: The
honor that ennobles, the justice that
insures the right, the reasonableness
that mellows and makes plain, the
courage that proclaims virility, the
generous instinct that disdains all
meanness, the modesty that makes no
boast, the dignity that wins respect
the fineness and the tenderness that
know and feel. But when one thinks
of it more carefully may he not sum
it up in just a single sentence and ac-
cept it as the truth that all men like q

"My blood was all out of order, and had to go

why SaVages Turn In Their Toes.
In the first place, the foot naturally
takes that position when it has never
been confined by boots or the ankle
distorted by high heels. Convenience
Is also on the side Of the natural posi-
ton of the foot in the case of the saw
age, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground
in forests. Consequently his progress
would be much impeded If he turned
his toes out to catch these obstacles
instead of brushing them aside and
outward, as he now does. Lastly, the
savage uses his foot much more as
help to his hands than we do. and it
is obvious that in doing this he must
turn his toes in. '5-

Medicinal Uses of Salt.

Salt is one of the greatest of natural
remedies and antiseptics. A weak So
lution-an even teaspoonful in a glass
Of water, cold or hot-is excellent for
indigestion. A solution of about the
same strength will often relieve cold
in the head if snuffed up through the
nose.
Severe pains in the bowels are often
relieved by the application of a bag of
hot salt,

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
About blood Purifiers" and ..ronlcs."


Every drop of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be
renewed in but one way, and that is.
from wholesome food properly di-
gested. There is no other way, and
the idea that Il medicine in itself can
purify the blood or supply new it's
sues and strong nerves is ridiculous
and on par with the fol-Cle-rol that
dyspepsia or Indigestion is germ
disease or that other fallacy, that 4
weak stomach which refuses to di-
gest food can be made to do so by
Irritating and infiaming the bowels
by pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas AMI
bloating after meals, because they
furnish the digestive principles which
weak stomachs lack, and unless the
deficiency of pepsin and diastase is
supplied it is useless to attempt to
cure stomach trouble by the use OF
''tOnics," pills" and ''cathartics,' =
which have absolutely no digestive
power, and their only effect is to give
a temporary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and
similar foods and experiments have
shown that they will do this in a
glass bottle at proper temperature,
but of course are much more effective
in the stomach.
There is probably no remedy 5"
universally used as Stuart's Tablets,
because it is not only the sick and
ailing, but well people who aIse them
at every meal to insure perfect diges-
tion and assimilation of the food.
People who enjoy fair health take
Stuart's Tablets as regularly AS they
take their meals, because they want
to keep well; prevention is better
than cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do both; they prevent indi-
gestion and they remove it where it
exists. The regular use of one or
two of them after meals will demon
stIate their merit and efficiency bet
ter than any other argument.

Secret Disease

OF all human diseases, that known as
contagious blood poison, or the Bad
Disease has caused more misery and sut-
fering and ruined more lives than all
others combined. It not only wrecks the
hopes and aspirations of the one who
contracts it, but often the innocent are
made to share the humiliation and dis
grace of this most 1oathsome and hateful
form of blood poison. Children inherit
IT from parents, and thousands of the
purest men and women have been con-
taminated and ruined simply through
handling the clothing of one infected
with this awful
n1alady, Ordrin nix, THE INNOCENT
