In rcaOilng the letters of Marie Bashklrtscff one Is struck with the perfect simplicity and sincerity of tire writer , while at the sauio timb ho Is also Impressed by the ambitious nature of this tnlciitod young girl. She was ready to make all sorts of sacrifices , ns is shown In n number of her letters to hot mother , "I must attain what I doslro or I must die , " she wrote , adding , "ho who Is afraid , yet gees to moot danger , Is brnvor than bo who is not afraid. ' On another oc casion she wrote : "What am li Nothing. What do I wantl Everything. " Poor Plotro , for whom she evidently en tertained a lively affection , could not bo per mitted to distract ber thoughts from the great scheme of her life "No , Pletro is only a diversion a strain of music In which to drown the lamentations of my soul. And yet I reproach rnysolf for thinking of him. since ho can be of no use to mo. Ho cannot ovou bo the first rung of the ladder that loads to fame , " Is the way she wrote to her mother about her admirer Pietro. That she had no false modesty is also quite clear and her letters abound in eulogistic descriptions of her personal appoaranro. such as : "I look pretty today. Nothing beautifies so grnatlv as the consciousness ot being boautif ul. " Again at another time she wrote of herself. "Ills true that In tnv princesso robe of gray batiste my figure Is divine , that Is tire word ( vou have said so yourself. ) " In extenuation , however , It must DO remembered tbat she was only 23 when she died. Taken as a wliolo , the "Letters of Marie BashkirtsefT , " which have been so ably translated by Mary J. Serrano , make a very charming work , nnd as Mr. Gladstone says , "It may oven bo pronounced a book without parjllel. " Published by Casscll Publishing company , Now York , The strange mysticism of the Orient has long been a lavorito theme of writers of fic tion , and consequently when E. E. Baldwin sat down nnd wrote "The Strange Story of Dr. Sonex , " ho simply trod in the well- defined footsteps of a long line of moro or less distinguished predecessors. It Is , per haps , to oe regretted that an author whoso evident genius elves abundant promise of bettor things , did not leave the beaten tracks and strike out boldlv into now and unex plored realms of fiction. Ho clearly has the ability and the field is boundless. There is nothing now In tire subject of the book before us , and it cannot bo said tbat the author has treated it with any strikingdugreoof originality.

THE LADIES WANT MORE INFORMATION Drier Hovlcxv of Sonic Oinnlm Pvae lories Tliut Are Miuiul'rtuturlnK ArtiolcH of General Use In lOvory I'ninlly. The efforts of TUB Bsn to crcato an inter estln home Industries'has already born Bood fruit und a good many citizens ere re questing their families to buy goods of bom manufacture. Tbo greatest difficulty In tni way is the luck of Information among th people as to what Is made In Omaha. "Whci wo order goods from the grocery what shal wo call for , " nslts a lady , "to say send mi something ot Omaha manufacture is a Utlli Indefinite , I have boon using In flour tin best make of a well known Minneapolis mill now then I want to give my patronage ti homo mills , but what will I ask fori If m : grocer docs not happen to want to hondti Omaha flour he is tiKoly to take advantagi of my ignorance to send mo n poor gratia am rnako me sick of homo miuln ( lour. Wt ladles ought to bo Informed In some way a ; to tbo exact kind of rfooJs to call for. It I ; not enough to know that good soap is mndi in Omaha , wo ought to know what kind 1 : the best and which Is the next best so tha each ono of us could select the kind tha' ' would correspond to what wo have bier using In price and quality , " The same holds good in every line of household goods. I have visited quito a numbur of local fnc lories the past week and him boeir struck with tire general goot feeling that cxisis between the manufactur ers themselves and their evident desire tc patronize each other as far as possible Occasionally n manufacturer Is found tha Is going on the outsldo to buy goods tha1 might bo obtained bore , but tire Instances an rare. I was In one small place whore they also job goods that they do not rnako. Whili the manager was detailing upon the necessity of homo Institutions bolng pitronlzod J glanced over the goods in sight. Tooro was soap from Philadelphia , DCS Moines and Chicago but none of Omaha make. Before the speaker had ciusod a retail grocer ox rm Irr and said "I want a box of cocoanut oi soap , " und the manager handed him a box oi Chicago make and ho walked out. To my inquiry as to why ho did not sol Omaha soap bo replied , "O , they don't make toilet , soap in Omaha. " When informed that they did make lorlot soap in Omaha ho foil back on the assertion that they did not make cocoanut oil soap. This was also a poor ex cuse , as I had just sotma car-load of oocoanul oil at the soap works and any amount of the finished articlo. At last no had to acknowl edge that ho bad no reason for discriminating against Omaha but did it because it was c habit. A manufacturers' association seconded by such organizations as the Board of Trade one Heal Estate Owners' association , and backet up by the 40,000 consumers who draw thoii support , from the factories , could correcl such habits as that in u very short timo. 1 learned some Interesting facts about floui a few days ago from a country miller. There has been such a strong prejudice againsl flour made in the state that some countrj millers have boon leaving off from the sacks the name and location of the mill , but brand It with some name that will load the con sutnor to believe that it is of Minnosott make. The deception works well and tons of Nebraska flour are sold iu Omaha and give general satisfaction. Dealers have sent out flour in Nobraskn sacks and had it returned as not being good , and have put the same flour in a Minnesota sack and returned It to the sumo party whc would use It and pronounce rt satisfactory , There is everything iu a name when it coraos to Hour. Omaha has only ono flouring mill , the Omaha Milling company located at KHI North Sixteenth strout , nnd they have ono of the bust plants in the country for its sizo. The machinery is all of the same make nnd was put In by the same company that built and sot up the machinery for Washburn mill which manufacturers VVusbburn's su perlative. It's machinery is a duplicate ot the mills which make the celebrated Minnesota seta brands so that the Omaha mill has every facility for turning our , a first class ar ticlo. They use the same wheat as Washburn and Pillsbury , that is the best northern hard wheat. As tno rate on wheat to Omaha is about the same as to Mmoapolis' the local mill can turn out flour at about the same cost as the Minneapolis mills. In this way the local mills can undersoil the others as they save tire freight on the flour. Six grades of Hour are being made in Omaha , the best being equal to the best Minnesota brands , and the cheapest as gooO for the money as cnn bo made anywhere. Last fall Iho government wanted to place a big order for flour for the army in the Department of the Platte. The government bakers and exports made a number of careful tests , Prllaburry's and Washburn's best brands bolng among the competitors and the Omaha Hour was pronounced equal to the best Min- nobota and the Ouraha mill was given the contract. btill the majority of the people of Omaha continue to ask for everything but the homemade made article and Iholr money goes lo help build up Iho great flouring m'llU of Minne apolis. I anticipate that some of the public splritod ladles wno decide to change over to the Omaha flour will go back to their old brands. In every household it sometimes happens that a baking turns out poor , and if this bhould hapuon when a change had just been made to Omaha flour tno blame would nil bo laid to thai cause , but the housekeeper should ro- rnomber tnat the fuvorrto Minnesota did not nlwavs turn out the whitest ot bread or the host of naslry. The Omaha mill Is employing twelve mon and distributing in wages $10,000 per year. All its supplies which can bo obtained in Omaha are bought hero , as sucks , oils , bolt ing , etc. When thn housekeeper has secured a saci : ot Omaha Hour Iho next thing In order is to rnako a uhungo in yeast. Both dry hop and compressed yeast are made In Omaha. Tbo German Yeast company has a fine plant located on the Bolt Hue nt Twenlv- olgblh and Bovd streets , where thov manu- fucluro what they call Gorman dry hop yoasi. Tnoy employ twenty-two people hi the factory , a good many of thorn boys and girls , with an annual pay roll of $10,800 , which does not Include salesmen , office force , etc. etc.There There nro six or seven dlfforonl kinds of dry yeast sold In Omaha which are made In Chicago , Fen du Lao and other eastern cities. This Is entirely the fault of the grocers , as a lady seldom calls for any special make of dry yeast , I was recop.lly in a sloro wnen a lady carne iu and called for a package of hop yeast. The grocer turned round lo Iho shelf where Ihore were iwo piles , ono of Iho Omaha rmrko and Iho other from Chicago , and ho handed out a package made in Chicago , 'lo nn Inquiry as to why ho gave Chicago the preference ho ropllod , "O. It , was onlv n irupuon so , norhaps next time I might get hold of the Omaha ysast. " The ladles ought"lo commence asking for Iho homo made yeast , and u manufacturers' association ought to sue that theio was moro molhod and loss "happen so" Itr some mer chants' dealings. The ladles especially ought to encourage the manufacture of yeast In Omaha , because the most of the work Is done by girls , poor girls that are trying to earn on honest living , ami some of them girls thai are helping widowed mothers sup port a largo family of younger children. There is also another reason wiry Omaha voast should bo used , It is as good or belter ihuu any other and boiug made at homo It Is fresher than the imported article. The mnuufuuturo of compressed yeast was com menced n short llmo ago by Iho Oimrlui Com pressed Yeasl Company which has a faclory nl 1714 soulh Tenth street. His said that they are turning out u first class article thai is glv- ng satisfaction both with lire bakers and In private families. The company however la rieotlngwllh lire same up-hill work lhat confronts all homo concerns. Tno people arose so wedded to the eastern made article that II s almosi Impassible to Induce thorn lo try anything inudo in their own city.

A lady sees soma special brand advor tiscd very oxtonslvoty and cotno * to bcllovt that it is good and aiks her ijrocor for It , or tno r-roccr tolls her that It Is the IPU and in duces her to use it. Tbo Consolidated Coffee coinrmny is rtianufacturliip three or four dif ferent brands of baking powder , ranging from the best , which rolalls at about fit cents per pound , down to the choaposl grades. There Is no reason whv ihis cowdet should not taito the place of that made in dts tuul cities. The same company is manufacturing all kinds of flavoring extracts , another line ol iroods usoa extensively in every household. These goods liavo a largo sale because the wholesale grocers have all taken to handling them , but there Is still any amount of flavor , ing extracts used in the city Ihut are of for1' olgn mako. The company's labratorv is located In their building at lit I Harnoy street , and is under the charge of Dr. Baker , a chemist of wide experience In bis special lino. Perhaps the most interesting part of the work is the manufacture of vanilla. This extract is like wino in lhal it improves with ago , and none is scrrt out from this factory lhat is less than a year old. The oil of lomou Is obtained from Messina put up in coppers holding twenty-eight pounds each. The company manufactures four grades ol extracts , the best quality being put up under Dr. Uaker's own name. The Consolidated Coffee conpany also manufacture another kind of goods ru com mon USD and thai Is blueing. They have what they call ale blueing that is put up in old ale Dottlo or similar bottles holding about a pint. As the package cosls as much or more Ihan the blueing this utilizing of old bottles which are just.us good and do not cost much makes a greal saving lo Iho con sumer. Another flourishing manufacturing institu tion which is worthy "of the palronaeo of Omaha people on the ground that it is doing much for the citv and might do a great deal rnoro U , the Gcdnoy IMcklc company. Their factory is located at Eleventh and Uraco streets where twelve girls and eight men uro employed. They put up all kinds of pickles such as cucum bers , onions , bonus , tomatoes , etc. , also Worcoslershiro sauce. London sauce , pepper sauce , etc. They nave 'J50 acres of cucum bers contracted for iu ho vicinity of Flor ence and tnrco acres of onions , beans , toma toes , etc. About ono man to every three acres is Ihe rule in picking , which keeps a good many people busy during tne season. Ouo former who has Ion acres of cucumbers has employed as high as twenty- seven men at ouo titno in. pickmpund expects to have 3,000 oushoU for which he will ro- corvo $1,200. As the picking cosls only 10 cents per bushel ho will have a big thing for his labor in planting and loading Iho crop and for the use of his land. Such a factory is a valuable acquisition for a city not only as it employs a good many people in thoaclual manufacture but it en ables formers nnd garrtners in the immediate vicinity to raise most profitable crops and during the harvest season gives employment to a great many people who draw their sup plies from the oily. if every housowrfo would commence to ask her grocer for Omaha made picitles the present - sent force at the factory would soon bo too small and another year would see many morn aures of the fertile land around Omaha devoted - voted to Iho raising of vegetables for pickles.

Yesterday was an ideal early autumn day and it wns thoroughly enjoyed by tbe hundreds who thronged every drive and pathway of Hanscom pork. The benulies of Iho park are of themselves sulllcicnl to at tract the multitudes , undine added attraction of an excellent programme of music rendered by the Second Infantry band brought out hundreds who would otherwise have re mained away. Without making any invidious compari sons , it may bo truthfully said that yester day's programme was one of the finest thai has been presented ut Ilauscom park this season. It included a number of now holec- lions not hoard hero this past summer , among tbo most notable being the overtures "Guy Manncring"aud thesplections from Iho operas "Slradella" and "Higolotto. " Messrs. Trusson , Allen , Clark and Siebentrilt ren dered Iwo numbers ru a pleasing manner , Iho fir-si , the pravor from "Dio Frerschut/ , " opciling well deserved applause. By especial request ; Iho bridal chorus from "Lohengrin'1 was repealed. It is ono of the masterpieces of the great Gorman composer and it is worthily irrtorprelod by the Second infantry band. The other numbers included the familiar overaturo from ' -Fra Diavolo , several potpourrs and meuloys and Mlllnrd's national anthem , "God Save Our President from Every Harm , " brought the afternoon's enter tain tnonl lo a close. The perfume of violets , the purity of the lily , the glow of the rose , and the Hush of Hebe combine in Pozzonl's wondrous Powder. Charleston. (111.

Talking of patent medicines you know the old prejudice. And the doctors some of them are between you and us. They would like you to think that what's cured thousands won't cure you. You'd be lieve in patent rricdicincs if they didn't profess to cure everything and so , between the experiments of doctors , and the experiments of patent medicines that are sold only because there's money in the " stuff " lose faith in , you every thing. And , you can't always tell the prescription that cures by what you read in the papers. So , perhaps , there's no better way to sell a remedy , than to tell the truth about it , and take the risk of its doing just what it professes to do. That's what the World's Dispensary Medical Associa tion , of Buffalo , N. Y. , does with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery , Favorite Prescription , Pleasant Pellets , and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. .If they don't do what their makers say they'll do you get your money back.
