 Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Apaity, \. Y., says: "I have used your Cas- toria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe and -eliabIe remedy"
 Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal, says "After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, as in this case. I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation"
 Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo, says :" Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be thor oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren's complaints. Any physician who has raised family, as have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.

Men Who Write Dime Novels.

Thus their regulars men who are looked to to supply each week some 25,000 words about an established hero, are men who can be depended upon to attend to business, generally men of standing in their respective communi- ties and frequently men of considera- ble means. The creator of the beloved "Old Sleuth" was for years member of the Brooklyn board of education. The Georgia colonel who sponsored another nickel hero, Fred Fearnot," was once a Baptist preacher, and al- ways remained on cordial terms with his sometimes brethren. Boston news
 paper offices have graduated four men, at least, who either write a library each week, or respond to occasional emergency calls, and probably any one of the four would be welcomed back at any moment, as a capable and valued man, to daily journalism. Bos- ton is. moreover the home of the cleY- crest and postpaid of such novelists, the man who created the Merriwells, Frank and Dick and who practically every week for more than thirteen years. has told of them with extraor- dinary ingenuity and vivacity; and this gentleman had done excellent things in fiction before he started on his perpetual serial; as. to be honest about it, he has frequently done since.
 The standard paymnt for a half dime library is $50, but many writer receives more-the author of the Mer- riwell stories so many times more that mention of the sum would provoke in dignant shrieks of protest from ninety nine per cent. of our standard" nov elists. And the publishers. besides be- ing always prompt to make payment, are customarily inclined to be gener- ous, showing a complaisance, in re- spect of advances, which the average man of business is painfully reluct- ant to initiate. It therefore comes to pass that many a literary man who would blush to be suspected of the crime. has friendly relations with the energetic gentlemen in Seventh avenue and Union square-Boston Transcript.

Coon vs. 'Possum.

Coon meat looks and tastes some thing like guinea fowl, being dark and tough unless fixed up right. A coon is more dainty and precise than a 'possum about what it eats. A 'possum. like a hog, will eat anything, any sort of carcass. Many old southern darkies hold to the belief that they must have at least one mess of coon meat a winter to keep off old fashion ed negro consumption, which used to raVage negroes even worse than 1t now does the Indians.-N.
