Large Gifts for Libraries.
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.

ST. 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

verses for their own pleasure rather
than for the admiration of the pub

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.

HOW BRAYK MAX DIKI
PATHETIC ENDING OF GRANDSOh
OF JOHN BROWN.
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.

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.

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. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad

chased the securities and took possession of the

possibly never should have been built. However,
