The reimrt submitted to the Amer ican Library association showing that while then* 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 inyariable 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 call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of St. Mary's Academy which apears in another col umn of this paper. We do r.ot 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 th? 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. It is said that he often composes 10,000 lines a year, but with a most praiseworthy self-denial rare among poets he reserves most of them for | his own private reading.

J. A. Adams Wandered Away frorr His Camp on the Colorado Deser and Perished for Want of Water— Body Not Found. J. A. Adams, a former resident o; Arizona and a grandson of old Johi Brown, whose “soul goes marchinj on,” wandered away from his rami on the Colorado desert on May ID ant perished for want of water. Tht story of his disappearance is graphl rally told by Charley Fay, one of tht party, as follows: “We went out on the desert pros porting for gold. An Indian wham wt had employed to show us where tt And water on the desert caught hii foot In the stirrup while mounting his horse and fell on his back. “The horse started to run, dragging the Indian by one foot. As the ground was covered with jagged rocks the In dian would have been killed had no'. Adams run up and taken the horst by the bit. The animal, wild with fright, reared and plunged. Adams was twice thrown upon the rocks, anti once the horse's hoofs hit him, but ht still gripped the bit until Mr. La mere and I succeeded in releasing tht Indian. “After the danger was over, Adams sat down upon a rock and bogav; laughing, and when asked if he was hurt, he replied. ‘Oh. no, I’m only s little tired, but I guess you'll have tc help me set this arm.’ We then start ed for Yuwa, Adams riding some 2S miles that afternoon and never once complaining, though we could see by his drawn features that he was suffer ing intense pain. "At dusk we camped for the night and within an hour the injured mac was delirious and raving like a ma niac. Some time during the night he left camp. As soon as we discovered that he had gone we made every ef fort to tind him, but could not dc much until daylight, when we found his tracks in the sand. We followed the tracks all that day and until about 9 o’clock the next day, when we came to a hard, rocky place at the foot ol some rock hills. Here we lost the trail and try as we might we could not find it again. "For three days we searched the hills, but not a trace of the man could we discover, tnough we well knew that somewhere within a radius ol twenty or thirty miles lay the body of one of the bravest men that ever lost his life in that great death-trap, the Colorado desert.”—Yuma Sentinel. Worry Causes Dyspepsia. Worry is a cause and a source of much unhappiness. It seams the face with lines and furrows and has a most depressing effect upon that hy persensitive organ, the stomach, which at such times becomes a most unwilling and laggard servant. In deed, it is safe to say that unless en couraged by a cheerful temper and bright or, at least, hopeful thoughts, the stomach will play truant or sulk or do no good w?ork. The physiolog ical explanation of this is the close alliance of the great sympathetic nerves, which are worse than the tel egraph for carrying bad news; the work and anxiety which depress the brain cause simultaneously a semi paralysis of the nerves of the stom ach; gastric juices will not flow, and, presto! there is indigestion. One sign of mental health is serenity of temper and a self-control that ena bles us to bear with equanimity the petty trials and jars of life, espe cially those arising from contact with scolding, irascible, irritating persons. Serenity of mind comes easy to some and hard to others. Anecdote of Fitzhugh Lee. Maj.-Gen. John Gibbon thus de scribes his meeting with Gen. Fitz hugh Lee at the McLean house. Ap pomattox county, Virginia, in April, 1865, at the time of the confederate surrender: “Going to the door, I found Gen. Fitz Lee seated on his horse and looking, as I thought, somewhat uneasy. He had been a cadet under me at West Point, and I had not seen him for years. As I looked at him a vision came up before me, and I could think only of a little rollicking fellow, dressed in cadet gray, whose jolly songs and gay spirits were the life of his class. My salutation of ‘Hello, Fitz! Get off and come in,' seemed to put him at his ease at once and brought him to his feet. He came in to the house and told me his story. Before leaving, with a grim humor, he took from his pocket a $5 confed erate note, and, writing across its face, ‘For MrB. Gibbon, with the compliments of Fitz Lee,’ he said, Send that to your wife and tell her it’s the last cent I have in the world.’ ” Snails Used as Medicine. According to the Ixmdon Spectator, one of the current medical fads among the English laboring classes is the following. Snails crawling up a church wall are caught—those crawl ing down possess no virtue—placed in a pan with a little water and boiled, being stirred meanwhile wit> a quill plucked from a black crow. When the mixture has boiled down to the consistency of a salve it is ready for use. When rubbed on the soles of the feet it is a sure preventive of disease, being especially efficient in the case of what is locally known as “hinfooenzy.” It is also valuable in strengthening weak spines, bnails, whether raw or cooked Is not evi dent, are als* considered a valuable rsmedy for consumption. The great secret of success Is en thusiasm, carefully revised and edited. Stops the Cough and Works Off the Cold Laxative Brotuo yuiuineTablets. Price 25c.

PELVIC CATARRH CAUSES Palpitaiion of the Heart, Cold Hands and Feet, Sinking Feelings—Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh Wherever Located. ItUkAA AAAA AAA* AAAOAAAAA* ♦ A « y—--J_«_ * \ Mrs.X.Schneidetw » j —— : « 'v _t «**«***vw*'f»»»*»****»v<r»f Mrs. X.Schneider, 2400 Thirty-seventh Place, Chicago, 111., writes: ••After taking several remedies without result, I 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, sinking feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering from systemic catarrh, and 1 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. I wish that all suffering women would try It. I testify this according to the truth. ”—M.rs. 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 hus been named very differently. One woman has dyspepsia, another bronchitis, another Bright's disease, another liver 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 are simply catarrh—that Is, chronic intlummation 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 Peruna has be come so justly famous In the cure of female diseases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures remain. Peruna does not palliate—it cures Hon. Joseph B. Crowley.Congressman from Illinois.writesfrom Robinson, 111., the following praise for the great ca tarrhal tonic Peruna. Congressman Crowley says: “Airs. Crowley has taken a number of bottles of Peruna on account ol 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 ttie use of Peruna, write at once to l)r.
