Tho atiseh.erenA Unseen.

Modern ingenuity has enabled us with,
tolerahle success to guard against the at
tacks of nearly all the enemies we can see,
feel and handle. With patented combina-
tons of bell, battery and wire we laugh
to scorn the burglar who would pay us q
midnight visit. We muzzle the ferocious
dog; we set traps for the frisky rat and
frolicsome mouse we spread borax and
Persian powder for the intrusive roach and
the unwelcome bug, and we envelope our
beds with nets to ward off the approach of
the musical mosquito.
Grim Death is represented in the pictures
as a loosejointed old skeleton, generally
on a full trot after his victims, or reaching
out his bony fingers to grasp them. If he
attack us in this style VIZ have an ever
chance with lin. We can hear the rattle
of his joints as he moves toward us, and
can thus nave n chance to run away from
him; or if driven to close quarters, to
knock him down with a bottle of patent
medicine. 1t was the old fashioned Death
that was pictured in this fashion. With
the introduction Of new styles in every
thing, Grim Death himself has taken novel
forms, and his most mischievous form is
that in which his coming is invisible.
He fans our atmosphere with such quiet
wing that we have no suspicion of his

he has Frustrated us with low typhoid fe-
yer. He blows his breath into our sleep
ing room, and the baby is carried of with
diphtheria. He poisions our wall paper,
and the young people sink slowly into de-
cay, not knowing why, until the damage
is done. He puts his finger in the water
we drink, and there is n sentence of execu-
ton in every mouthful we swallow. Grim
Death delights TO make his dwelling in the
sewer. Through traps and joints and es-
capes and leakages he silently crawls up
the plumber work into the richly fur
nished apartments of the costliest houses
and reads his warrant to the sleepers. He
peeps through the half-closed ventilators
of school houses and bids the classes dis
perse or die.
There is evidently a mission for the in

Novels ami No,ei wr4unx.
THE AUTHOR OF JOHN HALIFAX TELLS
HER EXPERIENCE.

"
"How to write a novel2' has been asked
me hundreds of times and as half the
world now writes novels, expecting the
other half to read them, my answer, in
plain print, may not be quite useless.
What other novelists do | know not, but
this has been my way. ] contend, all
stories that are meant to live must contain
the germ of life, the egg, the vital princi-
pie. Therefore the first thing is to ok on
a central idea, like the spine Of a human
being, or the trunk of a tree. From it, this
one principalidea, proceed all a~ftergrowths;
the kind of plot which shall best develop
it, the characters which must act it out, the
incidents which will express these charac-
ters, even to the conversations which evolve
and describe these incidents-all are Sc
quences following n another in natural
order. Every part should be made SUBJ
s~eryient to the whole. You must lave q
foreground and background and a middle
distance. If you persist in working up
one character, or finishing infinitely one
incident or series of incidents, your per-
spective will be destroyed and you novel
become a mere collection of fragments, not
a work of art ut all. The true artist will
always be ready to sacrifice any pet detail
to the perfection of the whole. This, If l
have put my meaning clearly, shows that
a conscientiously written novel is by no
means a piece of impulsive, accidental
scribbling, but a deliberate work of art;
that though in one sense it is also a work
of nature, since every part ought to result
from and be kept subservient to the whole,
still, in another, the novel is the last thing
that ought to be allowed to say of itself
like Topsy, ''S'pects 1 growed.' Not even

sition, though to some it comes naturally,

cannot help but smile when asked if such
and such a character were taken from life"
and especially when ingenious critics per-
sist in identifying-usually falsely-cer-
tain persons, places or incidents. For me,
l can only say that during all the years l
nave studied humanity l never met with
one human being who could have been "put

Good Logic.

Galveston man deposited several thou
sand dollars in a local bank, and drew ON
it as he needed it. The other day he hap
pened TO meet his banker, and that gentle
man stopped, and said, rather excitedly:
"You ave overdrawn your account by
several hundred dollars"
"Well, what of it? 1t is my account. 1
reckon l can do what / please with my own
account. This is a free country"
"Yes, but you owe me several hundred
dollars"
well, suppose l do. You owed me ten
times as much for ever so long, and | did
MT make any fuss about it."
The depositor passed on. leaving the
banker standing on the sidewalk in a very
dazed condition of mind.-Gdireston NeiDe.

Cooling Milk.

1t matters not what you propose to do
with milk, whether to ship it to tow fol-
ale in the raw state, so to speak to make
butter or cheese of il, or to take it to a CON
densing factory, there is no question that
cooling it when first drawn from the COW
greatly improves it for any of those pur-
poses The first heat received from the
COW may not be any more than subsequent
heat received from the solar system, OF
other source, but certainly it is that heat is
death to good milk, and the quicker it is
got out the better. To accomplish this
many means are taken advantage OF. In
England a refrigerator is used cooled with
ice in many countries a coil of pipe sur
rounded with broken ice or cold water,
through which the milk Is passed. In this
country we have seen the following plan
followed successfully. ave a well or
cistern of cool water near the m~ilk-stable,
in a long trough are placed a number of
milk cans; as each mixer fills his pail
from the COWS he empties it into n can, and
then pumps the same amount of water to
the outside as milk to the inside of the
cans; they are kept in an upright position
in the trough.
1t matters not how the end is attained
10 it is thoroughly done. And if the milk
is to be kept over night, either to ship to
town, or for cheese or butter-making, it
must be thoroughly cooled within two
hours after it comes from the COW. In
warm, muggy weather the mischief may
be one within two or three hours, and no
amount of care can subsequently undo it.
The smaller the bulk of milk the easier to
cool, and the greater the economy Of ice in
cooling, and also the greater the cost of
cleaning up. This cost is not to be under
rated, for these coils or small vessels must
be kept scrupulously clean or trouble will
of it. Blu be the cost in this line as
much as it may, the trouble will surely
pay for itself in the end by the superior
quality of the milk, and we would advise
all men to be sure and practice this cool
ing process and we hope our inventive
geniuses will soon discover some plan more
practical and economical than any now in
vogue.

iowa" is n word of Inuian origin. 1t
has been handed down through French ex-
plorers and travellers from the first discov-
cry of Indians in that region. In some
old documents it is spelled "Ioway,n but
has finally taken the classic ending like
America, and is pronounced with the ac-
cent on the first syllable or letter. And so
it has become a very classic appellation for
a state, q river and a county, as well as a
town. The original name given to the old
capital was "The City of Iowa. which has
been contracted into iowa City" So much
the French to a tribe of Indians, then to
the river, and subsequently, by actual set
tiers and the Government, to the state and
its first capital. Iowa means " this is the
spot."-[Iowa City Republican.

twelve jurors should be appointed by the
governor for each circuit, and paid a rea,
sonable salary for a fixed and definite term.

Office by appointment, would never decide

weighing testimony and judging of the
credibility of witnesses. Their verdicts
would be sooner rendered, and more often

Liability for Baggage.

Twenty years of legal warfare were
OccasiOned by an Overcharge of So % on
baggage, and the railway company
which made this exactiOn suffers to the
amount Of $4,000. Every dollar of ov-
ercharge thus costs $1,75O. It is a good
thing that corporations have no souls.
We're the defendant man, in place of
railway company, how he would writhe
at such penaltyl The facts are as fol-
lows: Cyrus H. Mccormick, in 1862, went
to Chicago, and being charged extra for
his baggage. refused payment as a mat
ter Of principle. Before, however, ne
could call the attention of the railwa v
officials to the error the baggage-rOOm
was destroyed by fire. He sued and OBJ
tanned $4,000 damages, but the Court of
Appeals granted new trial. The latter
again resulted in favor of the plaintiff,
but on appeal new trial was again OBJ
tanned. This was also unsatisfactory
and the case came up for the fourth
time, with the above mentioned result.
Mccormick is immensely rich, but being
determined to resist an unjust exaction,
he carried the suit through twenty
years Of litigation, and 1t is to be hoped
that the lesson will be of use to the tray
cling public.

HEAVEN is MY HONE.

The giddy world unthinking goes,
Enwrapped in fancy's vision,
Allurod by sounds, beguiled by shows.
With empty dreams. C scarcely knows
There is a brighter Heaven.
Fine gold will change. & diamonds fade.
Swift wings to wealth are given;
All varying time our wealth invadss,
The seasons roll like suns and shades,
There's nothing lasts like Heaven.
Empires decay, and nations die,
Our hopes TO winds arc given,
Tho vernsl blooms in ruin lie,
Death reigns DER all beneath the sky,
There's nothing lives but Heaven.
Creations mighty fabric all.
Will be TO atoms driven,
The sky consumed, the planets fall.
Confusion rock this earthly bali,
There's nothing firm but Heaven.
This world is poor from shore to shore,
And like bsseless vision;
It's lofty domes and brilliant ore,
And gems and crowns are vain IS poor,
There's nothing rich but Heaven.
A stranger lonely here roam.
From place to place Pm driven;
My friends are gone, and I'm alone,
This eaIth's TO me lonely tomb,

The clouds dispense, tie light appears,
Ny sins are all forgiven;
Triumphant grace hath quelled my fears,
Roll on. ys suns-Hy swift my years.
I'm on the wing for Heaven.
Adieu TO all below, adieu,
Let life's dull Charms be driven;
The charms OF Christ hath caught my
view,
The world Of light will pursue,
And live with God in Heaven.
