Literary Notes.

A man who made millions by his me-
chanical inventions, man whose inveu-
tions have changed the daily life OF
every Americaa told me, says Edward
Everett Hale, In the June Cosmopolitan,
that he had asked fifty boys what handi-
work they would prefer: and that, in
every instance, the boy replied that he
would like to be a plumber. The curious
truth was that plumbing was the only
mechanical art which these boys, trained
In our modern life, had seen In practice.
Prominent and notable features of the
June Atlantic are President Eliors re-
markable address at the Boston Emerson
Centenary Celebration, accompanied by

Unitarianism, by M. A. DeWolfe Howe ;

The stab1emnn,s Plan.

On one occasion a famous clergyman
witnessed the tact of a stableman In
coaxing n recalcitrant colt into his stall
and soothing him until completely rec
onciled. Having expressed his congrat-
ulations, he remarked with a touch of
melancholy:
II wish | could get the worklDgmen
of my parish into church as easily az
you get your young horses into their
stalls, Thomas"
"Well, sir" said Thomas, 81 should
think 1t could be done, provldin' you
understands the nature of 'em an
gives your mind to it."
The cleric smiled Thomas might
manage horses, but workingmen-that
was different matter.
"Perhaps you'll think it over and let
me know your method" he finally sug-
gested
Thomas promised and, being appeal
ed to few days later, was ready with
his method
"And you think you have hit on n
plan to get worklngmen to church,

Mrs. C. F. Green's Recovery
From a Long Illness was
Brought About by the
Use Of BIOOdine

Women who find it difficult to do their
housework, who drag about their homes
with hardly energy enough to lift a
broom who are all tired out, who ache,
are lame, languid and distressed will find
in"Bloodine" a medicine whose peculiar
strengthening properties make it i'm
possible for these all too common ills to
exist. A great many women neglect
themselves and disease follows.
"Bloodne" should be in every home,
if taken when one is well it will keep
one from getting out of order, if taken
after disease has fastened itself upon the
system it will quickly throw it off.
ind for womb affections, periodical
sufferings and the general lasstude re-
sulting, will quickly disappear after a
few doses of 'Bloodine." 1t has really
done more for me than | could express
in letter and can recommend it to all
women suffering from female diseases.
Bloodine costs but soc. a bottle or, in
tablet form, SOC box. Bloodine Liver
Pills cure constipation, Csc box.

GEORGE ". OUTCALT
How He Extricated Himself From
A Serious Difficulty.

How George W. Outcalt, a well -known
merchant of Wellston, Oklahoma, re-
Gently succeeded in extricating himself
from serious difficulty is one Of the in
teresting stories now going tho rounds
of the papers.
Il had been working very hard, he
says in telling the story 3" For long
time | had given almost every moment
of my attention to my business and did
not notice what effect this was having
on me. But, finally, 1 saw that my
health was giving way-I was getting
thin, was always tired and easily out Of
breath; my blood was poor, my stomach
bad. Every now and then l would be
dizzy and any little exertion would ex-
haust me completely. In short, | was
all rundown.
Then ono day I saw an advertisement
which led mo to try DR.. Williams Pink
magic felt better in few days My
flesh came back till regained my nor
NAL weight my appetite returned and
my general health is now better than it
had been for many years. have recon-
mended DR. Williams Pink Pills to
many of my friends and am glad of this
opportunity to tell what the remedy has
done for me.

your doctor cannot cure you, write US

"The famous Edam cheeses which

often n subject of inquiry as to what
they are and whence they come Their
round shape, with that peculiar red
dish purple tinge is marked con
trast with all other cheese productions
of the world There is nothing new
fashioned about them, for if colonial
tradition is true Mynheer Peter Heyis
of Edam, Holland, who brought lot
in the hold of his Dutch ship in 1851
to the Delaware river, so tickled the
fancy of the Indians with these odd
looking articles that he bought large
tract of land, afterward named the
Valley of the Swans, from the red
skins with a barrel of his Edam
cheeses. After the cheese had been
devoured the gentle aboriglnes repent
