1t must be admitted that Il lot of
ugly, disgusting, if not disgraceful
things have been said and done i'm
Washington lately, beginning in the
White House. The strenuous Presi-
dent lost his head, and other hOtblood-
ed officials did likewise, and the only
thing accomplished so far was the
manufacture of some very effective
campaign material for future use-say
in about 1908.

Although unable to talk, he made II

Deacon Babbitt," by Edgar Blank
man, is one Of the quaintest novels
since David Harum." Everybody is
familiar with the New England dea-
conn fact, with the deacons of all
parts of the country. Old Babbitt Is a
typical character, and his quaint do
ings and equally unique sayings make
the book live one.
Miss Mary Mears Is soon to publish
a novel Of striking possibilities. 1t is
entitled ''The Breath of the Runners -
If those who have read 1t know what
they are talking about, and some fine
critics have done SO, 1t will make the
readers breath "come short" from the
first page to the last. 1t tells Of "stren-
nous times and strenuous" things,
which, of course. means it is telling the
tale of to-day In the world of business
and love.
The New York Times says Of Mr..
Harben's "Ann Boyd" that Ann does
not measure up to the typical Georgia
or southern woman. 1t complains that
she is too rough and rugged. Therein
lies the beauty of the story. Ann 10 a
typical creature, but there are few Of
her kind. She Is here, however, and
can be seen IL hunted up. And Har-
ben has told her life story accurately
and filed the pages of the book with
his usual witty sayings
Mr.. Howells and Mrs. Wharton have
made some very virile remarks about
fiction In the late magazines. Mr..
Howells gives the opinion that the dol
iar-and-a-half novel Of today is the
dime novel Of yesterday. The expen-
siveness Of the later work causes It to
dnd place on the library shelf, but
che literary quality does not make the
author famous. Mr.. Howells thinks
not differently from the criticism
which, albeit not public criticism. q
heard on every side, as to the charge
ter and value Of most fiction which a
being deluged upon an unresisting
reading public. We say unresisting, for
there Is no outcry made. So we be-
lieve that these two masters of fic-
ton have given timely message of
convictions which "ache." If they NAV
but influence the great indiscriminat-
ing reading class, and 50 bring about
greater reserve In what Is read, we
may hope for more deliberate as well
A more artistic work. It would seem
that to write book that will sells
might be the lowest motive of 4 liter
ary aspirant But, as MrA Wharton
nuts It, we all know that for the sake
Of q quick money-response, the .in-
teerity Of letters" has been injured !:
and also that this Influence has been
strong In turning creative talent
nom tn straight and narrow path.

In the lower Amazon country the
temperature ranges about 81 degrees
In the shade all the year round, says
the author of ''Ten Thousand Miles in
q Yacht" At Manaos, 1000 miles up
the river. the temperature is six or
eight degrees higher. Thermometers
are little used in that country and little
understood. So when q yachtsman re.
turned down river and was asked by
an official at Para, How is the tenn
perature at Manaos?' his reply, Eight
degrees hotter than here" elected a
stare Of non-comprehension.
AT Manaos," said the yachtsman in
explanation, II used to wilt six collars
a day; here in Para only need three
a day."
This was perfectly clear to the Bra
lillian, whose face lighted with under

EstiAate az Bismarck.
Public men who keep diaries should
either see that they are destroyed while
there 10 yet time, or get together fre-
quently to compare notes and agree in
their versions of Incidents, says the
Boston Transcript Either course would
save the historian Of the future world
OF trouble, the nature Of which Is indl-
Gated BY the sharp differences between
the late Prince Hohenlohe's explanation
OF biamarck's policy and that recorded
Oy Crispi. The former, who was one of
bismarck's successors as German chan-
ceilor, wrote in his diary, on the au-
thority Of the grand duke of Baden, III
Gle OF the kaiser, that the imperial dis
trust OF Bismarck was based ON a sus-
picion that he was secretly favoring
Russia and laboring to undermine the
triple alliance. .Crispi, the Italian pre-
mier, left diary, extracts from which
the nephew has printed in facsimile to
demonstrate that Bismarck was a zeal
GUS supporter, not only officially but
personally, of the alliance. Crispi wrote
while Bismarck's words were fresh in
his memory. Bismarck explained that
he had endeavored to live in friendship
with Russia, but had failed, and urgesi
that In extension of the dreibund there
should be grouping of Austria, Italy
and England. Whether we should &C
cept the grand dukes statement, pre-
sumably based on the condolences Of his
nephew, or that Of Crispi, in estimating
Bismarck, is puzzle that promises TO
be prolific Of literature.
Bismarck Is still an idol with a large
proportion of the Germans, who, how
ever, may be deferential enough to the
kaiser to moderate the terms of their
defense. Those who have studied him
In "a neutral atmosphere" may recon
cile the differences between d;arists by
saying that Bismarck talked one way
with one man, and the opposite with
another, and that he was pulling wool
over Crispi's eyes as he had pulled 1t
over those Of Napoleon III. Bismarck
was lion with a great many fox traits
In his makeup. Letters and diaries are
Of great value to the historian, but their
product IL often small as compared
with the amount of labor necessary to
reconcile contradictions and extract the
residuum Of fact. Without them many
historical incidents would be cloudy,
and 1t cannot have escaped detection
that some of the richest finds have been

1t Is nine hundred years since the
failure OF a bank in China" said a
bank examiner. "Ove, nfne hundred
years ago, in the reign of Hi. Hung, q
bank failed. Hi Hung had the fail
ure investigated and to his indigna-
ton found it had been due to reckless
and shady conduct on the part of the
director and the president. Hi Hung
at once issued an edict that the next
time a bank failed the heads of its
president and directors were to be cut
on. This edict, which has never been
revoked, has made China's banking in

SECOND HELEN KILLER.

Congenitally Blind and Dumb, Shs
Makes Renarkable Progress.
The case of u-year-0ld Maud Scott
promises to rival that of Helen Keller
in interest. This child is said to be
the only congenitally blind and deaf
person whose education has BEEN under
taken.
One extraordinary part Of the story
is that up to the time she was Z years
old Maud Scott had lived entirely In
a cradle made for her use. Not thing
had been done to teach her the merest
beginning of normal existence.
She did not know that che could
stand or sit or walk. When she was
taken to the institution Cor the deaf
and dumb at Jackson, Miss, even
prominent educators pronounced the
case hopeless.
Like Helen Keller, little Maud Scott
found a teacher who was willing to
devote herself even to a seemingly
hopeless task. The teacher was Mrs.
NJ. A. Bodkin.
The first task undertaken, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, was to
teach her the use of her lower and
upper limbs. She was lifted from the
cradle and held in a standing posture
and after days of patient perseverance
to the darkness of Maud's n.nd there
came it's first light. She was taught
that these legs and feet were to stand
and walk on and that the standing
posture was proper and the custom OF
other people in the world.
1t was then evidenced to her mind
that the cradle she had occupied Tor
seven years was to be used in future
only for rest Tutoring the little arms
and hands was the next undertaking.
1t was made clear to Maud that her
arms and hands were given her not
merely to be waved In darkness from a
cradle. A ball was placed In the hand
Maud's fingers were pressed about 1t.
She was given the object to handle
day after day, and finally she became
acquainted with 1t. She was familiar
with the shape and size, and when 1t
had one day been changed to one slight
" different in proportions the little
girl noted the difference In her facial
expression.
This was the first evidence OF the
workings of the mind of this benight-
ed child. Before this time, at inter-
walls, Maud had felt her Fps pressed
open by some oval-pointed object and
food was put in her mouth. That was
all she knew OF eating. She had no
idea Of the necessity of this process,
and IL certain tastes pleased her there
was no method of communicating the
fact that they might be repeated. IT
she might become hungry before serv-
ing time there was nothing to do but
wait.
Mrs. Bodkin acquainted Maud with
the process Of feeding herself. Al
most for endless days, the pupil at
table beside the teacher, 3 spoon was
pressed into her hand, the fingers were
closely pressed about it, and motion
Of conveying it from platter to mouth
was repeated. ..

The Evils OF Continuation


are many; in fact almost every serious
illness has it's origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead of preventing
constipation, add to it. This is true of
most cathartics, which, when first used
have beneficial effect, but the dose has
to be continually increased, and before
long the remedy ceases to have the
slightest effect. There is one prepare
ton, however, that can be relied upon to
produce the same results with the same
dose, even after fifty years daily use,
and this is Brandreth's Pills, which has
record Of over 100 years as the stand
ard remedy for constipation and all
troubles arising from an impure state of
the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and can be found in every drug and
medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.
