PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

The number of visitors to the Carlyle House at Chelsea, London. during the twelyemonth just closed has been equal to any of the preced- ing like periods since 1895, while the United States, as formerly, furnishes the largest proportion of pilgrims from outside Great Britain.
 Literary people of Boston are agi. tating for the setting up in Boston of tablet in honor of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was born there in 1909. his mother being leading woman at the Haymarl1et theater.

 The story is told that Emerson Hough, successful novelist, editor, fisherman and hunter, was responsible for the passing of the act which gave government protection to the last herd of buffalo in the United States. MT. Hough, who was much concerned over the fact that the small herds of buffalo preserved in Yellowstone park were being slaughtered by poachers, made a winter journey of investigation through the park, trav- cling on skees and procuring photo graphs and reports which proved con- clusively that the animals were in- sufficiently protected and were be- ing rapidly exterminated.

SOCIETY IN THE WEST.
1t Is Friendly to the Newcomer CT and Ever Ready to Receive Him on His Merits.

1t is society almost wholly without snobbishness. Now and then there be- comes apparent struggle to enter it on the part of some one outside of it; but, because access is so simple, the fact that a struggle is necessary nearly always creates in itself a perpetual dis qualification. It is society exceed ingly friendly to the newcomer very ready to receive him on his own merits; it has no feeling of it's own in- security to make it snub him because 1t does not know who he was before he came. And while the visitor will be asked mary questions about his ac- quairtances in other cities, he will not be asked if he has met "the Rockmores of Germantown" in order to discover if he knows the right people" The questions are put in hopeful way, with the hospita ble wish to find mu- tual friends of whom to talk, and to bring the visitor and native into closer touch, says Harper's Magazine.
 There is a natural drawing together and independence, of course, among the people who form thejnucleus of this society; whose fathe1s and grand fathers have been friends, watching the town grow from village in the forties to city of importance in the twentieth centuary; and although there is a small comPlacence among the families that were here "from the first" it amounts mainly to greater familiarity with each other, az among relatives. Conditions are all the hap pier for the absence of the pond-turtle who condescends to the newcomer be- cause his relatives have been long time in the same pond. Here and there there may be an individual who takes to himself some credit that his family have achieved distinction or continued in responsibility through several gen erations; but he does not push the claim, because he lives among people who would laugh less at ssthe arrogant strut of new wealth" than at claim of privilege for "high birth;' because (the people would feeD to be tainted with the former means at least that you are proud of something you your self have accomplished; to possess the latter means that you are in the ludi- .crous latitude of being proud of your self because of something that some body else did.
 The members of this society live on terms of singular intimacy with one another, almost as in a village, meet ing often, and rarely passing each other on the street without pausing for more than a greeting. When the warm weather begins one has only to stroll
 
 portions of the city during the early evening to see nearly all his friends, who will be lounging each on his lawn, or comfortably taking the air on the broad porches; and the older i11habi- tant easily remembers the day when he was acquainted with every person of respectable appearance in town Such intimacy, of course, entails an amusingly large quantity of amazingly small gossip.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Catarrh of the Stomach Is Not a Disease.
 als SseNss4 sA sSs But . Condition nesuIting from INDIGESTION.

Recent experiments, by practical testa ana examinaIlon with the aid of the X-Ray, establish 1t as a fact that Catarrh ot the Stomach Is not disease Tn itself, but that it is condition resulting from repeated attacks of indigestion.
 The stomach and aiimentary canal, or di- gestive tract, is lined or coated with. mucous membrane. Studdlng the surface of this mucous membrane are the gastric g.ands. Here, also, are the termina! many branches from the sympat thetic ,sys- tenn. When the stomach IS overloaded, or wien food is taken into it that fails to di- gest, it decays-rots, and infamcs the mucous membrane, exposing the nerves, and causes the glands to. secrete mucin, in- This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. The condition was never known to exist except when preceded by. indigestion. In other words, we cannot have what IS commonly had indigestion. Hence the manifest need of perfect cure for Indigestion.
 KODOL cures Indigestion and prevents and cures Catarrh of the Stomach. To those persons who have allowed their indigestion to run into chronic Dyspepsia and then into that condition known as Catarrh of the Stomach, we say take KODOL at once,
 Kodol supplies the gastric. glands with healthy. quantity of the digestive juices, thus relieving the stomach all nervous
 
 organ takes rest--recuperates.
 In all cases of weak stomach, indigess ton, nervousness, palpitation of the hearts insomnia, general debility, chronic dyspep-- sia and all wasting diseases, no remedy will so surely and so quickly restore one to tho full vigor of health and strength.
 The eminent Dr. Hayes, of Washington, D. O., says: "After three years almost con. stant use of Kodol, in hundreds of cases referable to faulty digestion and assimila- tion, can truthfully say it Is the most eff cient combination for dyspeDsia. ndiges- orders that it has been my ad fort''re to discover.

Queensa Pet Parrot.

The late queen of the Belgians used to have favorite parrot. When it first arrived at court, some two or three years ago, it mortified the cour- tiers by shrieking out such treason able expressions as Down with the pasteboard king!" and t'Vive la re- publique!" Poor Poll was sentenced to death by strangulation by the in- dignant lords in waiting, but the queen interyened and set herself to teach the parrot to cry "Vive le roi!" and other local phrases. Her lessons were soon successful, and the bird became as entirely royalist as it had previously been republican.- Chicago Post.

 Two members of the tourist fratern- lty furnished considerable amusement on Maple street last night. One of them wanted to seek lodging at the pc flice station and the other was doing his best to persuade him from so do- ing. Finally the younger man said he was going, anyway, and started toward the town hall. "Come back here a minute" said his friend. The other came back, but before he came livery near his companion the latter made vicious punch at him, saying; ssYou'H saw wood in the morning, too" Officer Malone happened along about this time and seeing that the men were tough looking characters he asked them what they were doing there. "Were looking for the put-up for { travellers said the man who did not ! want to saw wood.

Preachers Should Learn Trades.

A prominent clergyman strongly urges all young men who contemplate entering the ministry to lsS-s =-1.=.> trade either before or after their ordination. He has examined the sta- tistics of the various Protestant de- nominations and has been appalled, by the number of ministers who are without charge. He thinks that if every preacher should have trade his independence would not only be great thing for himself, but would increase his usefulness in the pulpit.
