LITERARY TREASURES.


Some Which Have Been and Some
Which May Be Lost to view.
The world, we have been assured
time and again. knows nothing of its
greatest men. Perhaps it is equally ig-
norant about its greatest books. Are
we quite sure that the idols in our lit
erary pantheon are arrayed in their
due order of precedence? The rules of
precedence change, and who shall as
sert that those prevalent at any given
time are the final ones? But, above
all, are we quite certain that there may
not be notable work of genius lying
unnoticed and unknown amid the
wrecks of the river of time, waiting
only for some lucky accident that shall
reveal it in all its beauty to an aston
lshed world?
Such accidents with such results have
been frequent in the history Of the
past. Indeed such accidents have pre-
served or have revealed to the world
no insignificant proportion of its now
acknowledged masterpieces.
The books of the Bible themselves
nave SApeTlelCtQ the HdIToWeSl eS-
capes from what might have resulted
In their total loss. The most notable
example is that of Deuteronomy. which
disappeared from the Jewish world for
over a century. The story of it's re-
discovery by the high priest Hezekiah
during the reign of good King Josiah
is set forth in the Old Testament.
Shakespeare was practically forgot
ten In the days when Addison wrote
his Account of the Greatest English
Poets" with never a mention of the
name of the very greatest, yet it was
shortly afterward that Shakespeare
was resuscitated.

Blackmore's Lorna DoOne'' dropped

A Market Scene In This Quaint
French Province.

! Market Scene In This Quaint
French Province.
Brittany is land where the peasants
till the earth in zOuave trousers, torea-
dor jackets covered with arabesque
! embroideries and green waistcoats
around which run lines of crimson.
The women wear short red skirts,
great medici collars and colts that fiut-
ter about their heads like the wings of
doves. From beneath the points of
their black caps the children gaze at
you with wide eyes full of the curiosity
of animals.
These people live in houses built of
sculptured granite and sleep in open
work closets carved like the mouchara-
bieks of Egypt.

In the village market places.
Fiery little horses draw to market
fish, fine vegetables and all the early
produce of RoscOff. They are spread
out upon the sidewalk. Chickens
cackle; goats bleat; pigs tied by the

! Farmers in sabots, carrying great
blue umbrellas under their arms. with
the two ribbons of their felt hats float.
Ing down their backs, pick their way
among the Oman china displayed on
the ground-capacious soup tureens,
cider jugs and plates covered with
painted flowers and grotesque figures.
The peasants converse with but few
gestures; they bargain in gutteral
| tones.
! These taciturn people forget them
selves in the barrooms on fair days.
The taverns are full of noise You
may hear the sound of an accordion
and the plaintive note of the biniou "a
sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous
dances.
Into the harbor come boats laden
with fish; other boats go out The
fishermen are full of business. Next
week will occur the departure for the
new country. There are women who
weep.

The duties of the secretary of the in
terror are somewhat hazy and i'll de-

A lazy liver may be only a tired liver,
or starved liver. A stick is all right for
the back of lazy man. But it would be
savage as well as a stupid thing to beat
weary man or starving man because
he Jagged in his work SO in treating the
tagging liver it is a great mistake to lash
it with drastic drugs. Iu ninety-nne
cases out of a hundred a torpid or sluggish
liver is but symptom of an ill-nourished
body, whose organs are weary with over
work. Let your liver alone. Start with
the stomach and its allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. Put them in proper
working order, and see how quickly your
liver will become active and energetic
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover has
made many marvellous cures of liver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re.
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood max
ing glands, cleanses the system from
poisonous Accommodations, and so relieves
the liver of the burdens imposed upon it
by the detection of other organs

Ely's Cream Balm is such remedy and
cures Catarrh easily and pleasantly. Cold
