PROBLEM Fiction" of Long Ago

II have the book, Charlotte Temple,
mentioned in the Corner. My grand
mother gave II to me when I was a girl.
The carly scenes of the book lay in Eng
land. Charlotte Temples father was the
youngest son of nobeman. When
Charlotte met AGontravil, her lover they
eloped to America. She was buried, as
you say. in Trinity Churchyard, New
York. The book is by Mrs ROwson, late
of the New Theatre, Philadelphia author
of Victoria, the Inpuisitor,' File de
Chambre etc. Talking about books, have
you ever read The Quaker CITY, "A Ro-
nance of Philadelphia Life by George
Lippard, published In 1874? 'Tis one
awful nightmare from beginning to end
l read it a good many years ago. and
shiver yet when think of some of the
characters. The history or story was
said to be true of the times, and IL this is
to be relied upon, Philadelphia is a far
cleaner city morally at the present age
I have inserted this letter because l be-
lieve it will interest readers, who, like
myself, like TO compare the literature of
the former generation with that of our
own. | wish had room in which TO say
word with regard to the problem fic-
tion" of our times and set them side by
side with such frank descriptions of vice
and its consequences as we find in
charlotte Temple" and in George Lip
pard's stories l well recollect the hectic
style of the writer buresqued in his day
as George Whip-hard" whose historical
tales were widely read and offered abun-
dant field for sarcastic criticism.

MENU FOR YEAR-OLD CHILD THAI
WILL MAKE 1T GROW AND RI mr..
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. u.

TTTHAT should baby have TO. eat
w when he is one year old? Here is
a menu upon which he will thrive:
a. m.-Father creeps downstairs
and gets bottle Of certified, tuberculn-
tested, pasteurized or otherwise guaran-
teed clean milk. warns It up mikes some
barley or oatmeal cruel with.it and feeds
II to the baby
a. m.-NIother feeds baby one or two
ounces OF orange Juice
10 m.-Aunt Mary mixes him up the
following MIX, two parts; oatmeal or
barley Cruel, one part; patience and CHEEKY
smiles, 90 parts. Aunt Mary sits down
and feeds baby about 10 or 12 ounces of
this from cup-under mo circumstances
should he have bottle.
p. m.-Two ounces of beef Juice, or
the white Of one egg, soft-boied or
poached whole egg after is months). or
four ounces OF mutton broth or chicken
broth.
-Four to six ounces of milk and Cruel
again.
6 y. m.--Father rides baby on his knee
to get up an appetite Same bill Of fare
as for 10 a. m.
10 D. m.-Same bill Of fare as for a.
m.-wlth this important exception: Father
should not be dlsturbed--his pipe might go
out, and besides he has got to get rested
UP for the a. m. duty which hangs over
his head like an evil omen.
This goodnight meal had better not be
given from the bottle. In fact n baby at
IL months should be made to take his
food from a cup or spoon altogether. When
you see babies Is or 20 or more months
old still on the bottle you may be sure
they will make trouble for their misguided
parents later on.

dents story, have an answer ready for

ing room mantel with the points down.

out" she explained. Hang II so it will
hold all that happens along, 1t must be
fixed just like a dry moon" The saying
may corroborate in some degree the tale
given In the Corner when we had this
superstition under consideration before
namely: that ii had it's origin in the hom-
age done to the new moons as "Astarte"
by some ancient nations. Honestly, /
trace little resemblance between the
horseshoe and the graceful crescent of
the young moon. | but rehearse the tale
