To make novel. that Is, 70 construct
out o. the ever-changing Kaleidoscope Of
human fate picture OF life which shall
impress people as being life-like and
stand out to is own, and possibly an
after generation as such-this is task
which cannot be accomplished without
genius, but which genius. unaided by
r emechanical skill, viii surely fail TO ac-
Neomplish thoroughly. Much of what is
, required comes not BY intuition, but ex-
pcrience. How do you write q novelP"
has been asked me hundreds Of times;
and, as half the world now writes novels,
expecting the other half to read them,
my answer, given in plain print may
not be quite useless. Ia
What other novelists do i know not,
but this has been my own way-ab oUo.
For. Ieontend, all stories that are meant
70 live must contain the germ Of life, the
egg, the vital principle. A novel with
a purpose" may be intolerable, but a
novel without purpose is more intoler-
able, still-as feeble and fiaceid as man
without q backbone. Therefore, the first
thing is to fix on central idea, like the
spine of the human being or the trunk
OF tree. Yet as nature never leaves
either bare, butclothes them with muscle
and flesh, branches and foliage, so this
leading idea of his book will be, by the
true author, so successfully disguised as
not to intrude itself OBJECTIONABLE; in
deed. the ordinary reader ought not even
to suspect its existence. Yet from it,
this one principal idea, proceed all after
growth; the Kind of plot which shall
best develop it, the characters which
must act it out the incidents which will
express these characters, even to the
conversations which evolve and describe
these incidents.
This, if | have put my meaning clear
ly, shows that q conscientiously written
novel is by no means piece of impul-
siye, accidental scribbling, but delib-
crate work of art; that, though, in one
sense, it is also work of nature, since
every part ought to result from and be
subervient to the whole, still in another,
the novel is the last thing that ought to
be allowed to say of itself, like Topsy,
aspects l growed' Except in one
sense. If an authors personages are
strongly and clearly defined to his own
mind, he knows that, in whatever situa-
tions he places them, they must think,
act and speak in a certain way. Events
develop character; but character also
molds action and event. Viewed in
this light. a really human novel sswrites
itself. "-Di1dh MuLoch Crdik.

this story did:
just above the wharves Of Glasgow,
on the banks Of the Clyde. there once
lived factory-boy, whom I win call
Davis- At the age Of ten he entered q
cotton-factory as ''piecer."
He was employed from six o'clock In
the morning ill eight at night. His par
ents were very poor. and he well knew
that his must be q boyhood of very hard
labor.
But then and there, in that buzzing
factory, he resolved that he would obtain
an education, and become an intelligent
and useful man. With his very first
week $ wages he purchased Ruddiman's
"Rudiments Of Latin.v
He then entered an evening school
which met between the hours Of eight
and ten. He paid the expenses Of his in
struction out of his own hard earnings.
At the age of sixteen he could read
Virgil and Horace as readily as the pu-
pills OF the English grammar schools
He next began acourse of self-instruc-
ton. He had been advanced in the fac
tory from piecer to a spinning-jenny.
BE brought his books to the factory.
and placing one of them on the 'jenny,"
with the lesson before him, he divided
his attention between the running of the
spindles and the rudiments of knowledge.
He entered the Glasgow University.
He knew that he must work his way; but
he also knew the power of resolution,
and he was willing to make almost any
sacrifice to gain the end.
He worked at cotton-spinning in the
summer, lived frugally and applied his
savings to his college studies in the win
ter
He completed his allotted course, and
at the close was able to say, with praise
worthy pride, ~ never had a fdrthing
