Every one of us with a love of SIM
pie justice rejoices to see wrongs right

is one of the divine sparks of light.
Therefore every one interested in the
history of American letters will have
joy in the present Poe revival, of which
this Virginia Edition is the completest
and most thorough going expression.
The wrongs to Edgar Allan Poe have
now SO many years been enduring!
And yet in all Poe's wretched- life he
had the faith that the world would
come to him: the faith that his genius
would some day receive recognition and
appreciation. That faith has now be-
come realized.

LITERARY OUTLOOK.
Publishers' Attempts to Secure Books
from Great Men.

Most Of the publishers have returned
from their summer vacations. put OH
the garb of their offices and made their
annual fall bows to the public. From
now on until the end of December, their
advertising representatives will sound
the cymbals and pound the drums in
the hope of attracting public attention.
At any rate some of the stories told by
these makers of fame for authors will
be equal to those contained in the
books. When some one remarked that
the best fiction writer any publisher
had was his advertising man. he came
very near the truth.

indicates that the publishers are in

more advertising to the books to be is

increased thickness of the trade list in

the hope of the critics and the reading

Cruel Contests.

Bird singing contests for money and
other prizes are not so frequent in
England as formerly. Many of the
little competitors. notably chaffinches,
were subjected to dire cruelty on these
occasions.
To make them sing their eyes were
pierced by a redhOt needle for the pur-
pose of completely binding them. This
was done to prevent any opposing ex-
hibitOr from frightening the birds and
stopping their singing, an end which
was obtained by waving some object
in front of them. Blinded, the birds
could see nothing, and they sang.
The cruel practice has been practical
ly stamped out by the action of the
Royal Society For the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. who issued numer-
Gus summonses against offenders. 1t
may be that in some dark corner of the
country the same cruelty is still prac-
ticed, but the custom as a system is
now done away with.-Pearson's

A tree is nearly dormant in winter,

and an excess will cause decay.
Drenching rOsebushes with strong
quassia tea is a good curative of bugs
and other destructive insects and pests.
To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer
full of sand, into which the slips may
be set. Keep the sand the consistency
of mud.
Never give up a decaying rosebush
until you have tried watering it two or
three times a week with SCOT tea for a
short time.
Reporting of plants becomes neces-
sary for two reasons-the plant uses
up the available fertility in the soil
and fills the pots with roots.

Turnuoises md the Mnnro1s

TurquOiSeS are the favorite stones of
all the Mongol races and are generally
worn in their original state except by
the Chinese women, who have them
roughly cut and wear them mixed with
pearls and coral. Both the Tibetan

them attached to their single gold ear,

The women of Ladakh carry their

PAST HIS FIRST YOUTH.
A Fowl That Was Hardly to Blame
For Proving Touch.

For Proving Tough.
The swan is said to be excellent eat
ing when young. but as it is one of the
longest lived of all creatures it is well
to learn if possible how old your bird
is before you cook it.
\ gentleman in Lincolnshire. Eng
land, sent dead swan to the Athena
um club, addressed to the secretary. a
special dinner was to occur that week,
and the committee without question
turned the bird over to the cook.
At the dinner the swan. resting on
great silver dish, was a delight to the
eye, but when it came to carving and
eating the bird no knife seemed sharp
enough to cut it, and of course eating
it was out of the question.
A few days later the donor met the
secretary and said, Il hope you got my
swan all right"
THAT was a nice joke you played on
u.s." returned the secretary.
Joke? What do you meanT'
"Why, we had the thing boiled FIR
thirteen hours. and even then we
might as well have tried to cut through
the rock of Gibraltar

swan cooked"'
"Why, of course"
"Man alive! l sent it to be stuffed
and preserved as a curiosity in the
club. That swan has been in my fami-

identical birds fed by the children of
