When meminded that the senate, as a body, is sadly lacking in hnmm-,. and needed livening- ip, Mr. Twain said. smilingly: '"Well, as v"alstaty to the senate. 1 gness 1 could till the hill and earn my salary lIht as a ) representative of the people I would be certain tA prove Aead titiebr." it can't humorists he serions as well as other mortals.

He started on the book or aannarv 9it, he said. and has now 100. M0 words of it completed cae of the skin. The importance of the skin as an organ is as a rule overlooked. It is most often regarded as - a kin-! of protective covering and is frepent ly abused because it is the sent of manyv annoying diseases. But th< skin is more than a mre prtetive eoverI, of the body. It is an import ant organ of secretion and e retion. as well as being~ the org'an Ithn: con ains the sense of toneh.

Endowed Newspapers. Fourth E,state. Dear to the heart of the social re former is the idea of an endowed newspaper. a pure and lofty publien tion that need not work for its living, hut. rvlieved from the grinding neces, sity of making ends meet, is at liberty to tke -an uenlightened public by 'the haud and lead it in paths of ri teousness. Commercialisi, we are told, fetters the press and pre vents its highest development as a power for 'education and good morals. It is assumed that a newspaper that did not have to bother with such sor did details as cireulation and adver tising could be more useful than one conducted as a business enterprise. Until some philanthopist makes the exp1eriiment the question must stay unsetited, and it might not be settled .even then. But one thoneht obtrudes itself, a paper published solely for the mlental and moral elevation of its reaiders ight if it had readers enouigh ad o' the righ11t sort. he a' valnable advertising medium. In that ease it would need no endowment to keep it goin. If. on the other hand, the en dowed paper did not compare favor ably in interest and practical value with its mercenary contemporaries peop)le would not read it and the money spent on it would be wasted. 1.e I he advoCates of endowed news papt-'r hear in mind the old saw 1t leadim: a horse to water.
