The report submitted to the Amer ican Library association showing that while there have been a greater number of individual gifts to libra ries this year the average amount, as well as the grand total, is below last year, is somewhat astonishing at first glance. Probably the popular misapprehension on the subject aris es from a failure to distinguish be tween libraries and library buildings. While the gifts to the former aggre gated $3,075,247, the money given for library buildings amounted to no less than $8,312,550, of which amount Mr. Carnegie gave more than three quarters. It may reasonably be doubted if the year's gifts for library buildings have ever been exceeded in amount within the same space of time. Baring-Gould Chops Trees for Health. Though close upon 70 years of age, Mr. Baring-Gould, the author of more books than any living English man, is as upright today as he was thirty years ago. He attributes this erectness to his invariable custom of writing at a high desk in a standing position. Mr. Gould always writes with a quill pen, and his manuscript is not beloved by printers. As a re laxation from literary work Mr. Gould, like the late Mr. G.adstone, often spends a couple of hours chop ping down trees. Burnished brass shines brighter than nuggets of gold.

MARY’S ACADEMY". Notre Dame, Ind. We eall the attention of our readers to the advertisement of St. Mary’s Academy which apears in another col umn of this paper. We do not need to expatiate upon the scholastic advan tages of St. Mary’s for the catalogue of the school shows the scope of work included in its curriculum, which is of tha same high standard as that of Vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is carried out faithfully in the class rooms. We simply emphasize the spirit of earn est devotion which makes every teach er at St. Mary’s loyally strive to de velop each young girl attendant there into the truest, noblest, and most intel ligent womanhood. Every advantage of equipment in the class rooms, lab oratories and study rooms, every care in the matter of food and clothing, and exceptional excellence of classic conditions—all these features are found at St. Mary’s, in the perfection of development only to be obtained by the consecration of devoted lives to educational Christian work, in a spot favored by the Lord. Japan’s Poetic Mikado. The Emperor of Japan is one of the few poets who are content to write verses for their own pleasure rather than for the admiration of the pub lic.

CATTLE.—There were a few* good to choice beef steers on sale and such klmla changed hands freely at stronger prices. As high as $8.15 was paid, which is as high as has been paid on this market this season. The kinds that sell from $7.00 down were not in very active demand and were certainly no more than steady. The bulk of the receipts was made up of cow stufT an i a good many of them were range cattle. Buyers were slow about taking hold and as a result it was late before anything like a clearance was made. The best grades did not sell much different from yesterday, but the gen eral run was slow and steady to a little lower. The market is so uneven that it is almost impossible to tell much about it, for some time sales look a good deal higher than others. Choice bulls held about steady, but others were a little lower if anything. Stags and veal calves sold steady where the quality was at all good. Stockers and feeders did not sell much different from yesterday. The best grades In particular held steady, but the common kinds were dull and the tend ency was very evidently toward lower prices. HOGSL—There was far from being a heavy supply of hogs, but as reports from other points were rather unfavorable to the selling interests prices eased off a little here. The market opened slow but about steady and the bulk of the good w’eight hogs sold on that basis. As most of the heavy hogs sold early, the decline was most noticeable on the lighter weights. Heavy hogs sold largely from $7.75 to S7.S0 and the medium weights went from $7.70 down, SHEEP.—Quotations for clipped stock: Good to choice yearlings, $3.75#4.0: blk of sales, $7.7007.90; heavy, $7.92%®7.97%: mixed packers, $7.S0@7.95; light, $7.15@7.80; york ers, $7.7007.80; pigs. $7.1507.40.

TORONTO, Julv 19.—Fred Lee Rice was hanged here yesterday for the murder of Constable William Boyd on June 4, 1901. Rice was dressed in a neat-fitting suit of dark clothes, with a rose in his coat. He went to the gallows as calmly as if he were going to an even ing arty. When he awoke in the morning he received his spiritual adviser and spent a quarter of an hour in silent prayer. When the hangman entered the cell he was received smilingly by by the condemned man. Rice mount ed the steps to the gallows without a tremor and his execution followed a few moments later. His body was handed over to his mother, who will start with it today for his late home in Illinois. Rice, together with Frank Rutledge and Tohmas Jones, were on trial for robbing t the postoffice at Aurora. While being conveyed from the court house to the jail on the day of the murder a package in which were two revolvers was thrown into the car riage. Rice secured one of them and shot Boyd.

PELVIC CATARRH CAUSES Palpitation of the Heart, Cold Hands and Feet, Sinking Feelings—Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh Wherever Located. Mrs. X. Schneider, 2409 Thirty-seventh Place, Chicago, 111., writes: “After taking several remedies without result, 1 began In January, 1901, to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, Inking feeling nearly all the time, hou said I was suffering from systemic catarrh, and I believe that I received your help In the nick of time. I followed your directions carefully and can say to-day that I am well again. / cannot thank you enough for my cure. I will always be your debtor. I have already recom mended Peruna to my friends and neighbors and they all praise It. / wish that all suffering women would try It. I testify this according to the truth.”—Mrs. X. Schneider. Over half the women have catarrh in some form or another. And yet, prob ably, not a tenth of the women know that their disease is catarrh. To dis tinguish catarrh of various organs it has been named very dilferently. rvvvvvvvvvw One woman has dyRpepsia, another bronchitis, another bright's disease, aiKithcr Jiver complaint, another con sumption, another female complaint. These women would be very much sur prised to hear that they are all suffer ing with chronic catarrh, but it is so, nevertheless. Each one of these troubles and a great many more arc simply catarrh—that is, chronic inflammation of the mucous lining of whichever organ is affected. Any internal remedy that will cure ca tarrh in one location will cure it in any other. This is why l’eruna has be come bo justly famous in the cure of female diseases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures remain, l’eruna does not palliate—it cures. lion. Joseph b. Crowley,Congressman from Illinois, writes from Robinson, 111., the following praise for the great ca tarrhal tonic I’eruna. Congressman Crowley says: “Mrs. Crowley has taken a number of bottles of Peruna on account oi nervous troubles. It has proven a strong tonic and lasting cure. I can cheerfully recommend It ”--J. B. Crowley. A catarrh book sent free by The Pe runa Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of I’eruna, write at once to l)r.
