HAS OUICKENED
DEMAND.
The restrictions of ‘not
knowing what the new goods
were to be ’ are now removed.
They are here. And the
more one sees them the more
determined she is to buy
right away before the quiet-
ness of Lent shall change the
course of thought to another
channel.
The various lines of Silks
which we have thrown open
for inspection have thus far
more than met our expecta-
tions of approval. They have
quickened the demands, not
,6nly in proportion to the
duties of those who require
an immediate change, but
from those who are so far-
sighted as to prepare for fash-
ion’s Summer prospective.
Carpets, easy to buy be-
cause of our easy terms. If
you are a judge of qualities
you’ll need no explanation
of their good points; if not,
we’ll be only too happy to
show you wherein you’ll be
doing well to buy them here.

NEW WOMAN IN LITERATURE.
Jeannette Gilder Gives Her Ideals Concern-
ing the Talked of Creature.
The new woman of the novelist is
merely one‘of Dr. Max N ordau’s degen-
erat-es.
who is hysterical and degenerate, and
the world takes her as something that
really exists. To be sure,there are plenty
of women with “pasts? and with
“yearnings, "’ and there always have
be. and probably always will be, but I
doubt if any woman outside of an insane
asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual
impacts, tells that “we are tones of one
chord,” and about the “vile“ slavery”
of marriage, as do the women of Miss
Pendered and Mr. Grant Allen. Writers.
of this sort do not represent the women
of the day any more than the painted
women of the streets represent the wom-
en of good society.
The jaundiced writers of “The Yel-
low Book’.’ cannot be expected to give
us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes
run to worm eaten fruit. They have no
liking for that which is red with the
hue of health. They prefer the yellow
.hue of decay. Dr. Nordau is quite right
when he calls it disease. The heroines
of “The Yellow Book,” of “Discords”
and of “Wreckage” might have been
taken from Lombroso’s study of the fe-
male ofi‘ender. If they exist outside of
their creator’s brains, their cases will be
found recorded in scientific studies of
criminology or in the ordinary police re-
ports.
The new woman as I find her outbide
of the pages of fiction is an industrious,
healthy minded, healthy bodied young
person, with a certain amount of inde-
pendence, who cares more for out of door
sports than for indoor follies, and who
if she has work to do does it and does
not waste her time in telling about it.
,Her spirits run highover the adventures
of ‘ ‘A Gentleman of France, ” she laughs
and cries by turns over “Trilby” and
thinks “The Dolly Dialogues” great
fun, but for “Yellow Discords” and the
like she has no use.
I am happy to say that little of the
hysterical literature of the day originates
in this country. It is almost entirely of
English origin. Some of our younger
writers have tried their hands at it, but:
they do not take to it naturally, and it
is fast going out of fashion. .
There always will be a handful of
people who like erotica, but I think
there has been a turn in the tide which
even at its highest never swamped the
Rudyard Kip-
ling and Mrs. Humphry Ward have
many more readers than Grant Allen
and Mary L. Pendered, and . in this
country our writers of clean fiction are
the most popular.—Jeannette Gilder.
THE JESUIT FATHER IN CHINA.
A Fear-fully Narrow, Barren Life and Its
Mental Eflects.
Up summer and winter before sunrise,
he reads the matins and his day’s work
is often done, says Blackwood’s Maga-
zine. Sometimes he reads the angelus
and vespers ; usually they are undertaken
by the native catechist. Perhaps in the
course of the long morning Ah San or
Ah Si will present himself and pour
forth complaint about a buffalo and a
trampled padi field; or he maybe called
to adjudicate in what should be an ac-
tion for a divorce. Sometimes of a mom-
ing he sallies forth, his yellow pigtail
coiled around his head and an enormous
satchel slung across his back, with a
store of iron shot, and wadding for his
rickety muzzle loader, and if he is lucky
will bring back a pigeon or two, or even
a pheasant, to supplement the inevi-
table pork or fowl and rice.
The mail comes in once a fortnight
and a day slips by unnoticed, thanks to
home letters and a dozen numbers of
La Croix, where, squeezed between the
latest miracle and the life of some
worthy saint, the doings of the outer
world may be found recorded in a ten
line notice on "a l’ Etranger. ”
Sometimes an afternoon is whiled
away in curing the rank tobacco of the
place or in brewing rice wine or‘malt
beer—because ten years of solitude have
taught him to do things for himself—
and when he has no such pastime on
hand, he gets through the day absorbed
as one hopes in his little mediaeval li-
brary of religious books—lives of the '
saints and sermons and essays.
Then is it wonderful that even a mind
as broad and gentle as his should in con-
stant journeyings on the one road have
worn a rut for itself, deep sunk and
gloomy as the traffic channeled paths of
the loess land in the north, till, when a
rare glimpse of the outside world does
break upon his view, 'his dazzled eyes can
see nothing but trees walking, schis-
maticseand Freemasons, Jews and athe-
ists, spiritualism and table turning,
with the fiend himself in a fiery cloud
over all?
Evarts’ Paradox.
An amusing instance of an orator un-
able to resist a neat paradox was pre-
sented in a speech made at a banquet
given when President Hayes and his
cabinet were in Omaha. Evarts was de-
livering a most eloquent eulogy of the
west and concluded one of his famous
interminable sentences in these words:
“I like the west. I like her self made
men, and the more 'I travel west, the
more I meet with her public men, the
more ‘I am satisfied of the truthfulness
of the Bible statement that the-wise-
men -came-from -the-east ! ’ ’—Exchange.
The Other Side.
First Vestryman—It must make a '
clergyman feel very unhappy. to discover
that he has outlived his usefulness in a
parish.
Second Vestryman—Not so unhappy
as it makes the people when he doesn’t
discover it. -—New York Tribune.

The well known saying, “First catch“

“Mrs. Glass’ Cook Book,” written by.
Dr. John Hill in the eighteenth century.‘
But in an early edition of the book the,
reading of the sentence is, “First-ease

thusiastic at once, saying, “ I can
speak very glowingly of your medi-

datedbuck eight years—lie was unable
to assign a cause—it came just of its
own accord. The pains across the small
of his back were at times terrible—so
much as to literally “double him up,”
and he‘says he often felt it would be
impnsSIble to get home from his work.
Another bad feature was the costant de-
sire to urinate, often 8 and 10 times in
a half day. In the Boston Post he hap-
pened to see a report of a ,similar case.

stead of its proving a straw it actually
saved him. He tells in a few words
how he went to Geo. Burwell’s Phar
macy, Boylston st., and Park sq., and
bought and began taking the pills at
once. The day he got them, he says
his pains were terrible, “and my very
breathing intenSifled my distress. All
pain was immediately eradicated, urine
restored to its normal frequency. and I
cannot realize that I had ever suffered
