LITERARY MENTION.

The late Wilhelm Jordan used to claim
that his ability to write as easily with
the left hand as the right was one of the
reasons why he was able to do such a
vast amount of literary and journalistic
work.
Until 40 years ago an English book was
practically unknown in Japan, the only
foreign literature studied was the Chi
nese, and the first language to be taught
in the schools was Dutch. Now, while
English is the most common among the
people, and is studied by all high school
pupils, German and French are favored
generally by scholars and physicians.
France is the one country in which lit
erature is regarded with actual enthus-
iasm. To her long list of celebrations is
to be added in July that of the literary
centenary of George Sand. A committee
of arrangements has been formed which
includes, We are told, every name in
France distinguished in literature, art,
or science The minister of public in
struction is at the head of it.
Mrs Maxwell, who novel readers re-
member as IN. e. Braddon," and who
wrote Lady Audley's Secret" to say
nothing of 60 or more other examples of
fiction, lives in the summer in Richmond,
near London. She is fond of entertain
ing her innumerable friends at Litchfield
House, as her residence is called. Mrs.
Maxwell breads the professional inter-
viewer, and this is the only literary per-
son who is not welcome guest.
Walter Kittredge, author and COM
poser of the famous wartime song,
'Tenting on the old Camp Ground" lives
In Reeds Ferry. N. H., a few miles below
Manchester. He still writes songs. His
royalties from "Tenting" still come in
to him, and while not large, help to make
the old mans last years comfortable. He
offered to sell the song at first to Bos-
ton publisher for SIS. but it was refused.
Afterward tbs same publisher took it up,
and alone has sold more than 100000
copieS of II.

A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can ac-

eially, he forbid.

orincipal food he prescribed was Grape
Nuts and the boy, who was very lonu
of sweet things, took the Grape-Nuts
readily without adding any sugar. lDr
explained that the sweet in Grape-Nuts
is not at all like cane or beet sugar

NORTH ST. LOUIS
IS STORM SWEPT
Tornado Does Considerable Damage
In Worlds Fair City.
SCORES WERE INJURED
Many Houses Were UnroOfed, Build
ing" Blown Down, ana Telegraph,
Telephone and Street Car sepv-
ice Badly Crippled.

st. Louis, Aug. 20.-Two men killed
and twenty or more persons were In
Jured In severe storm which descend
ed suddenly and almost without warn
ing on a small section of North st
Louis shortly after three o'clock Fri
day afternoon.
One man was killed and 20 injured
at Madison, Ill.
The storm spent most of its fury or
North Broadway, in the vicinity Of
Fair street, from 1900 to 1900. The
storm seemed to dip down out the
clouds which had been hanging over
that part of the city.
1t came in the form of a spiral tow.
er, whirling forward with great force
and damaging everything directly in
its path.
Telegraph poles for distance of five
blocks on Broadway were moved down
one after another as weeds before q
scythe.
Roofs were blown from houses. Troll
ley and feed wires and smaller wires
were blown down. Trees were up
rooted
The air was filled with flying tim
bers and splinters and with debris and
dust. The people were stricken with
terror. AS many as had time sought
shelter in cellars.
The storm passed almost as quickly
as it came, leaving the people dazed
from the suddenness of the attack of
the elements.
After traversing Broadway for five
blocks, the storm cloud turned east
ward, and, after doing considerable
damage between Broadway and the riv-
er, leaped across to Madison. Its gen.
eral direction was northwest to south
east.
A part of the roof was blown from
the factory Of the Buck Stove & Range
Co.
Six persons we're injured at the
Neidringhaus plant at Second and Des-
trehan streets. A large smoke stack
blew down and crashed through the
roof into workroom, where a lal ge
number of men we're at work.
The boiler house of large foundry
block east Of Broadway was de-
stroyed
Sun ShOne Elsewhere.
While the storm was whirling
through North st. Louis the sun was
shining in the central part of the city,
in West and South st. Louis and at the
Worlds fair. Nobody in any of the
other parts of the city knew that there
was storm in North st. Louis.
Reports from surrounding towns, in
Guiding Venice, Granite City, Madison
and Brooklyn, ILL.,, north of East st.
Louis, and on the other side of the
river from North st. Louis, indicate
that they received the very worst OF
the cyclone.
According to what seems al this
time to be perfectly accurate reports,
four persons have been killed
The wife of the chief of the police
Of the town of Venice was one of The
quartet which lost their lives.
In all the towns named, number Of
barns and outhouses were demolished.
1t was reported on the wires that the
total rumter Of injuries, including ia
talities and slight wounds, throughout
southern Illinois, as the result of the
cyclone, is 100.
Many rural districts have not been
heard from as yet, and the prospect is
that this total will be sadly increased
when all reports are in.
