Islam which Christianity is wagins.
modern geography, modern history
and the physical sciences are powerful
weapons against the teaching Of the
Prophet. The entire Moslem world
has no printing outfit to match this
one. A better style of Arabic is used
than in the Mohammedan books. By
the scholarly works that have come
out spirit of higher criticism has
been created within the circle of Islam
and this Is a more insidious foe to the
latter than the frontal attacks of Chris
tianity.
The Mission Press makes its own
type, and when each letter may have
four vowellings and twenty-five differ
ent forms making one hundred IL all.
1t Is not small matter to run a print
ing establishment in Arabic. Never.
theless. the missionaries count it well
worth while for this institution Is cut
ting away the foundations of the old
order AS Turkey goes to knowledge
1t goes to a new life in reality.

Women and Fiction.

This land of ours does certainly
seem to belong to woman. Witness
when it comes to literary matters and
especially to the story magazines
the fact that a majority of all the
tales and all the verse therein is
written by women authors and. one
rather thinks, written for women
readers mainly.
When We say written for women
readers, we mean that the kind, the
general character of stories we see in
the magazines is such as to appeal to
woman's taste more than to mans. To
illustrate, there is much prominence
allowed to frocks and frills, descrip-
tons of the gowns and slippers and
accessories worn by the heroines and
figurantes throughout the stories.
They are feminine, decidedly, those
tricks of fiction.
Now, the question is: Why may this
be the case? Is it because the women
of America are more inclined to go
in for the writing of short stories than
the men? Or is it that the magazines
believe the reading public to consist
largely of women, and In consequence,
prefer to publish fiction written by
feminine authors who are thought to
know just how the women readers
can be pleased most surely and con-
tinually? Or else is it that the women
have far more talent, generally. in
the line of writing. than the mem

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures as has Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than so years it has been
curing woman's ills such as infamma-
ton, liberation, fibroid tumors, irreg-
ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
period of change of life.

her for advice. Her advice is free,

Ruskin Was a Prodigy.

What the times proclaim the pre-
cocity' of such children as young
Sidis and other youthful prodigies be-
longs by no means to this generation.
John Ruskin appears to have been
an example of the same kind of thing.
When only four years of age he wrote
letter in which he corrected his
aunt for having put in a pillar Of his
Waterloo bridge upside down. Here
was foreshadowed his Seven Lamps
of Architecture" no doubt. At five
he was, it is gravely asserted by
biographers, a bookworm and at sew
en- he had begun work in four vol
umes with copper plates printed
and composed by little boy and also
drawn" His Modern Painters" III
deed was published before he was 25
and it no doubt contains some of his
most notable writing. better in point
of style and beauty than much of the
later work which came when he was
under pressure for time to do all that
he strove to accomplish for the en-
lightenment of his fellow men.
