Tbe manuscript of Charles Lamb's beautiful essay, "Dream Children," Js for sale in London. It is written on two folio leaves, and is set within an appropriate binding by Riviere. The price of this treasure Is $1,250; and ap ropos of this piece of information it ia Interesting to remember that for two years of his work upon the "Elia" es says Lamb received only $850. At the last session -of the Indiana Legislature a law was passed requiring the Railroad Commission to call into conference annually the superintend ents of all railroads operatine in In diana to review the accident record of the year and determine what could be .done to improve the record. At ttat meeting ieldTecently the general man ager of the Pennsylvania Lines dls- triDutea iuo copies of "The Confession of a Railroad Signal Man," by James1 O'Fagan, believing that this book would nave more Influence than any state ment that he could make on the subject of discipline and obedience to rules. In Dr. Nlcoll's "Life of Ian Mac- laren" the author tells us that that writer "had the book collector's rever ence for books ; he never marked a book in his life." , Clement Shorter takes issue ; with Dr. Nicoll on this point and says that "the real book collector, as distinguished from the postage stamp collecting sort of per sonage, marks his books without end. scribbles on the margins, as Coleridge did, makes his own index on the fly leaves, and is quite reckless as to whether he Is detracting from their value for some other person. The real book collector is fashioned like one who said long ago that ,'IIe bought nis Dooka for himself and not for his executors.'"

It has a wireless telegraph station, a telephone service, an electric light plant and It is seeking munici pal steam heating. There are three good newspapers, three banks, churches, nospitais, and a club of which the wives, of the members form the most exclusive society of the North. LET IT BANG. Secret of a Society Woman for Re taining Youthful Beauty. One of the young old women, who, despite a full 60 summers, still hoMg her own as one of the first figures in New York City society, was asked by a young miss, tired by her first few months in the social whirl, how she preserved her appearance of youth in face and figure, In spirit and even vivacity. " "I relax one hour in the 24," replied the woman tersely, and that explained it all One hour every afternoon this wo man gives herself to complete relaxa tion in a darkened room. She does not permit herself to think of any of the distractions of her social routine; she does not think of friend or enemy or of herself. Relaxation is not alone for the society woman, but the woman in all ranks. "I believe I should lose my mind If I did not relax every day," this wo man once said. Doubtless she talked without knowl edge of the treatment of an English physician in tbe case of a society woman whose nerves were so tattered that there was grave danger of a men tal collapse. The woman was made to lie on a couch, with her hand over tbe side holding a small paper weight As soon as she so far forgot herself as to lot the weight drop to tbe floor she was to go about her regular afternoon call ing and receiving. The woman scoffed at the treatment when it was made known; she tried it, her nerves were cured, and then wondering she asked the physician for the secret "What you needed was absolute re laxation, if only for an instant each afternoon," he said, "and the final point in relaxing was reached when you forgot the weight in your hand and it aroused you by its bang on the floor." - ' There seems to be a lesson to every fagged woman in this little incident Ask your family physician. He will tell you the way to grow old grace fully is to learn the rare art of relax-! atlon. .'-' . . .-. .j . - Partners In Debt. 'My tooth is- Just killing me," she complained.

Presser, 1722 Third ave., Moline, 111., writes: "I have been suffering from catarrh in the head for the past two montsh and tried innumerable so-called reme dies without avail. No one knows how I have suffered, not only from the dis ease itself, but from mortification when in company of friends or strangers, "I have used two bottles of your medicine for a short time only, and it effected a complete medical cure, and what is better yet, the disease has not returned. - "I can most emphatically recommend Peruna to all sufferers from this dis ease."

Lord Lyveden Is an ardent peerage reformer and tells this anecdote: A famous statesman of the nineteenth century was called upon to visit his son in prison. He bitterly reproached him, remarking : "Here am I, havlug worked my way up from a middle class home to a great position, and when I die you will be the greatest blackguard in the peerage.". The son listened quietly, and then replied, with terrible irony : "Yes when you die."

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is getting more eloquent as her years Increase, her friends declare. She is now nearly ninety, and the other day at a reception given her in Boston made what her friends say was the finest speech of her life. She said that when she be gan to talk about woman suffrage she never know when to stop. "It was my good fortune to get interested in the suffrage question about the time the negro men obtained their freedom," Mrs. Howe said. "Then for the first time I saw the whole of one sex gov erned by the whole of the other. This seemed to me an intolerable tyranny. I couldn't help but think that after we had held the door open for the negro we might at least have been allowed to go In with him." A scheme is being arranged for the protection, of the manlike apes in the German colonies of equatorial Africa. It Is proposed in the first place that the shooting of these creatures should be strictly prohibited and steps taken for their protection.
