brief and vivid Japanese tale should win him many admirers. It is a long time since a more striking short story has ap- peared. Elizabeth Duer is always enter taining; in "The Man on Horseback she is at her best, and every reader will be quick to discover what famous person she had in mind when she wrote this little tale. Studio Sweepings," by James L.. Ford, is one of the keenest satres on bo- hemian New York which this cleved au- thor has produced. James Huneker is represented by a remarkable short story, which is entitled 'The Eighth Deadly Sin" and Henry Sydnor Harrison. in "The Measure of His Greatness" tells another Ware River club tale, full of elev- erness and truth. Frederick Trevor Hill, Ruth Kimball Gardiner, Catalina Paez and Cecil Carlisle Pangman have stories of refreshing originality, while Kate Mas terson contributes a short entertaining es- say called fThe Masquea- of Venus ' wherein she places under white light many feminine foibles. There is the usual story in French, and much meritorious verse by Wallace Irwin, Mabel Earle, Theodosia Garrison, Edith M. Thomas, Madison Cawein, Arthur Stringer, Will Ham Griffith and others equally well known.

The Greatest Health Factor-Werk.

From the Medical World.
 Congenial work with mind and hands should be encouraged in all persons, for it's prophylactic as well as it's curative in fuences. Rest will prove serviceable doubtless in numbers of cases. but its application should be restricted and care fully studied There are many condi- tions where absolute rest will not only prove useless. but really harmful. To send a man from an active business life to one of complete inactivity will often prove disastrous. as much so as to pre- scribe all food for the obese.
 The nervous will complain that they do not feel like work. If left to themselves and told to do absolutely nothing, not even to read they are sure to dwell upon their infirmities and grow thereby. mo- rose and hypochondriacal. thus increas- ing their invalidism. The desire for work should be encouraged in all conditions and in all classes. If ones interest is aroused even to a slight degree, con- tinuance in the work will develop a de- sire for occupation. One will never feel like work if one has nothing to do. Work will often accomplish what medicine, however properly applied, will not, for it Is not alone that we must earn our bread by the sweat of the brow, but every man and woman should work for the pleasure of 1t, as well as for the health-giving. brain-expanding results, and the benefit of example

APPEAL IN BEHALF OF
 EAST LAKE ORPHANAGE

The Rev. Father Duffy, who is at pres ent acting as chaplain to the orphanage at East Lake. writes as follows:
 To the Editor of the Age Herald:
 Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to call attention to the charitable work which is carried on at the Atheneum orphan Asylum, East Lake. This institution is conducted in so quiet and unostatious a way that I am led to think 1t is not sufficiently known and consequently it's worth does not re- ceive due appreciation. l can speak with the greater confidence since I have been for some time witness of the good work accomplished as well as the apparent neglect with which it is treated.
 Now we can look al tne upbringng of an orphan from the standpoint of a citi- zen or that of Christian.
 Every thinking man will agree with me that citizen, obedient to the laws of his country, desrous of his country's well fare, willing to do and capable of fulfll- ing his part in carrying out the commer- cial interests of his country, is q valuable asset for any land. And 1t will be equally evident to. every thinking mind that the proper time to instil principles of obe- dience, truth and honesty, is the time of youth.
 The early training of these orphans be- comes, therefore, an item of commercial value 10 every lover of his country's s veal
 Turn to the alternative picture. The lit tie neglected one-whom a rich mans spare nickes might save-grows up amid the dregs and the refuse of our cities, with no one to take any interest in him, with little or no chance of instuction, with no example of good and but too many of evil; how can such a child fail to come to maturity confirmed in evil habits, utterly indlsclplned. amenable to no law of God or man, an outcast from society, leading | life of infamy and prob ably destined to a death of shame and disgrace.
 The cause of the female orphans stands, if possible, on yet stronger grounds The children of today will be the mothers of tomorrow and Plus x only voiced the opinion of right-minded men when he said: No queen is greater than a good mother" It is of vital importance, there fore, that they should be taught lessons of purity and brought up in surroundings where the brightest examples of modesty and virtue will be given. Such lesson and such examples are here daily afforded them.
 Again let me ask you to contrast the womanhood of those whose youth has been deprived of these refining lessons and edifying examples.
 Conjure up in your imagination the vision-alas, no empty dream-of the young ruined girl who. after her brief sum of illusions, after few short draughts of pleasure-bitter-sw God knows, and leaving heart-sickness be- hind, goes forth at last with reeling brain and maddened pulse and the inward he'll fire of blasted hopes and affections she would fain forget under the calm and silent stars of night. Onward she hur- ries, with streaming hair. toward the

dark and rushing river With scarce a prayer for mercy, reckless and frantic she hurls herself into the cold wave, whose tapping sound as it washes the shores Is her only dirge and requiem. Nor say that this is an extreme picture Would it were more exceptional. If you follow up the probable destiny of the neglected orphan you will be led into tragedies and horrors which will make you bow your head with shame.
 Making my appeal on the higher ground of Christianity I may refer to the book or Deuteronomy. When God ar ranged the time and manner of the eel ebraton of the Feast of Weeks, and again or the Feast of Tabernacles-two or the three great annual solemnities with the Jews-He ordered amongst other things. that the fatherless and the widow within their gates. should be ad- mitted to the gaities, entoyments and again, Gods compassion for His for lorn and destitute creatures appears in other instructions given in the same book, He orders that any forgotten sheaf on their cornfeld shall be left flor the fatherless and the widow to take aways' that the remaining fruits on the olive tree, after the time of gathering, and the remaining clusters of grapes at the time of vintage, shall be their per- quisite and consecrated portion. And to the fulfillment of this command He attaches 8 most desirable promise-that He will bless those who obey fin all the works of their hands,"
 In the New Testament I shall content myself with referring to our Saviour's description of the last judgment. "Then shall the king say to them that shall be on His right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation n I vvnc you gave me to eat. l was thirsty and you gave me 10 drink. l was a stranger and you took me in; naked, and you GOV cred me; sick. and you visited me; l was in prison and you came to me. Then shall the Just answer Him saying: Lord, when did we see Thee hungry, and fed Thee; thirsty and gave Thee drink? And when did we see Thee a stranger and took Thee in, or naked and covered Thee? Or when did we see Thee sick or in prison and come to Thee? And the king answering shall say to them: Amen, l say to you as long as you did 1t to one of these, my least brethren, you did 1t to me."-Matt. KY, 34.
 Truly a donation to the Orphans Home is Q seed cast into the ground which will bear fruit hundred fold. Visit the or phanage and I venture to say you will be delighted to see the healthy faces and cheerful looks of the poor little ones, to whom God has been a father, and whom He has gathered by the agency of the charitable under the shadow of His wings during the period of their help less infancy and youthful peril. Look at their play grounds, visit their sweet lit- tie chapel. that echoes to the orphans grateful hymn: explore their clean and orderly dormtories; converse with the consecrated virgins who have given their lives to the good work, and you cannot fail to be grati6ed and deeply moved. You will. I imagine, be dead to all the nobler instincts of our nature if you re- fuse your aid towards the support and development of so noble and so touching a charity.

Automobile Farming.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A new and special type of automobile has recently been put on tho market in Scotland which Is designed especially for farm work, and which is not on.y suitable for ploughing, but may be equipped as a cultivator or reaper. It will prepare the ground and SOW the seed at one operation, and can be operated at a better speed than a horse Thus when ploughing it can cover from six to seven acres a day, and goes over the field so as to leave it in final shape for cultiva- tion. When not in use in the field the motor can be used to drive all farming machinery, and when ploughing. the cost of fuel, labor. and depreciation has been computed at one dollar per acre. or less than one-half the expense of ploughing by horse. It is interesting to note that the cost of the machine is about Sl500, an amount that does not seem prohibitiVe for a large farm, where a thorough test of the new machine could readily Ibe made. The automobile, unlike the farm animal, does not have to be fed when it is not working, and it is here that q subs tantial element of economy can probably be saved.

From Watson's" for August.

The hot weather hasn't cooled off Tom Watsons editorials in the August num- Der of his magazine-not to any consid- erable extent. Nor has his serious illness impaired the vigor or lessened the fear lessness of his attacks upon national evils. However, the August Tom Watson's makes a concession to the heat of sum- mer by an unusual quantity of good fic- ton and some special articles which are interesting as well as forceful and in structive. 'The Money show by Fred erick Upham Adams, told in story form, is singing and bitter satire against the dollar worship of our moneyed classes and its attendant social and individual deca- dence Should the Government Own the Railways?" by ]. A. Edgerton, and Pop ulism or Socialism" by Charles Q. De France, are as excellently written as they are meaty in content. Among the short stories. Agnes Louise Provost's 'The Negligible Quantity is one of the sum mer's best short stories, as well as a sturdy blow at all those capitalistic en- terprises that make the safety of human life secondary to the accumulation or wealth. The number is bright with bits of humor and wit and contains several very good short poems.

Doctor BTlg1aH Says MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE LysfIa Es Pink6saaEssSS
 Vegetable G0ssasgOWssh

The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womnnkind is not be- cause it is a stimulant, not because it is palliative, but simply because 1t is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the gcnerative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due.
 If physicians dared to bo frank and open, hundreds of themwouid aclxnowl- edge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in severe eases of female Ills, as they know by experience it can be re- lied upon to effect Q cure. The follow ing letter proves it.
