Lien Gansett."

MT. Willis B. Hawkins, i'll his chat about things in general in the Chicago Times of Sunday, February 18th, says:
 Speaking of western literature leads up to thoughts of new literary light that is about to shine out from Chi cago. MT. Opie Read has made a wide name as the editor of THE ARK ANsAw TRAVELLER, which is now pub lished in this city, and has written some very clever sketches for eastern magazines, but he is now coming forth in new role. His novel, "Len Gan- sett," will soon be issued from the presses of Ticknor & Co.,, Boston, and from what 1 have seen of the proof sheets I can safely say the book will make for it's author fame of more enduring kind than any he has enjoyed before.
 have before me letter from Bos- ton critic whose name, had I permis- sion to use it now, would give much weight to his opinion that "'Len Gan- sett' is the strongest story that has yet attempted to picture southern scenes and southern characters" This is saying a good deal. Some very strong stories have been laid in the south. But believe Mir. Read has found his field. There are many good delineators of southern characters, es- pecially of negro characters, but MT. Read is more than this. He is cre- ator of characters.
 Do you know Opie Read when you see him? If you do not, you would never suspect that he was he. Tall, big boned, rambling -gaited, and care- less of personal appearance, you would say ne is a big, honest faced and wholesome iooking-what? Not quite farmer, not a raftsman, hardly a river captain, certainly not an author. But talk with him half an hour! He has had his eyes open a good deal in his lite, and while he has not paid much attention to putting on style himself, he has seen how other people do it and has figured out the why of it. In other words, he knows, as a creative novelist must know, what constitutes a symmetrical, consistent human character. This knowledge coupled with his droll methods oi thought and his quaint manner of ex- pression, must surely make his more pretentious works in literature much sought after.

general and particular and again l failed. The third day began to feel symptoms of idiocy in that portion of my being called mind and at the end of gazing for fifteen minutes into space and trying to think of nothing ness I felt like a fully developed idiot. I remarked so to 'Lizy and she said it showed I was improving and returning to my normal state. This equivocal compliment silenced if 1t did not convince me. She also told me that when truth displaced error in my mind a great commotion, known in their practice as chemicali- zation, would ensue.
 For several weeks these daily sit- tings continued. 'L:zy, sitting in si- lence and treating me for my errors in belief while I sat with my eyes riv- eted upon the shell-pink ear caressed by the silken curl.
 Deeper and deeper the little pink ear became inglafted in my affections. Ere three months had fled l decided, in reviewing my symptoms, that my case was hopeless unless the pink cared 'Lizy would consent to pilot me for life through the breakers of meta physics and all other breakers on life's troubled sea. told her so one mOrn- ing in June, breaking the news gently as I could. A slight dropping of the head, suffused blush on the soft cheek and deeper pink of the ear pre- faced the soft tones of the sweet voice which answered: "But to say 1 love you is to acknowledge belief in mortal matter" 1 could offer no reply to this unique statement, and sat ill confused silence till 'Lizy broke the spell by saying that in view of my declaration she could give me her professional attention no longer, but she would like to send me little me- mento of her friendly regard for me. So we parted and the shell-pink ear never illumined the darkness of my life again. On the morrow received some mottoes worked with worsted on card board: '1n mortal matter there can be no suffering" "Measles and smallpox exist only in the mind;" "Bones are fractured only in belief :" "Nervous prostration is all error iI belief."
 Thus ended one of the sweetest epi- sodes of my life, but it is bitter sweet when I realize how large draft it made upon my scanty store ot "filthy lucre" to woo truth into my mind that it might displace the deadly error which 'Lizy said lurked there and caused all my suffer- ings. I am still nervous prostra- tionist waiting in patience for the fierce conflict Standardization which is to take place in my mind when truth enters and displaccs my belief in mortal matter.

 THE NEW WARFARE.-Results ob- tained at Washington with MT. F. H. A. Snyder's system of throwing high explosives from ordinary guns have beeu sustained in some important tests made by the Turkish govern ment. A target weighing over twenty tons, and consisting of twelve one- inch thick steel plates welded together and backed with a massive oaken frame, was set up, and was completely demolished by the explosion of sim gle "nitro-gelatine" shell from six inch rifled howitzer 650 feet distant. Ten shells were discharged without the slightest injury to the gun. Each shell was charged with ten pounds of a mixture of ninety four per cent. of nitro glycerine and six per cent. of a compound of collodion, gun-cotton, camphor and ether. This explosive is said to be much less liable to accidents and much more powerful than ordi- nary dynamite, whose nitro- -glycerine is only about seventy five per cent.

 A WIDE FIELD FOR ENToMoLo- GIsTs.-The insect world is vast al- most beyond our conception. Prsi- dent Sharp of tho London Entomo- logical Society states that, while Lin neus knew only 5000 species of in- sects 120 years ago, the collections of the world probably include at pres- ent 100000 or 250,OOO species. Ger tain data lead to the inference that we do not yet possess more than one tenth of those existing, so that even the present rapid rate of discovery will not complete our collection of insects in less than 1000 years. Be- fore the end of that period many spe- cies of to-day will have become ex- tinct, and Dr. Sharp urges that those likely soon to disappear should be especially sought.

Pancakes in Variety.

On cold winter mornings pancakes OF all
kinds hold an important place at the break
fast table. The cherished buckwheat cake,
most prominent Of all, from Thanksgiving
day until early spring is seldom absent from
the morning meal in the genuine American
household. When properly made this is
the most delicious Of all the griddle cakes,
but II has been against It when made from
yeast or risen over night that 1t was difficult
TO me Ike light and sweet, and that Disagree
able effects frequently followed its eating.
II is found that by the uee Of the Royal
Baking Powder to raise the batter these
objections have been entirely overcome,
and that buckwheat cakes are made most
delicious food, light, sweet, tender, and
perfectly wholesome, that can be eaten by
any one without the slightest digestive In
convenience. Once tested from the follow
Of buckwheat, one cup Of wheat -four, two
tablespoons Of Royal Baking Powder, one
half teaspoonful Of salt, all sifted we'll to-
gether. Mix with milk into thin batter
and bake at once on q hot grlddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made by
dissolving sugar in the proportion Of three
pounds Of sugar to one pint Of water.
Many persons prefer the favor Of syrup
made OF Orleans sugar to that made Of the
white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious. The
rice Is cooked until perfectly soft, drained
dry, mashed with spoon until the grains
are well broken up. For each cupful of
rice take two eggs, one pint OF milk, one
heaping teaspoonful Of Royal Baking Pow
der, one half teaspoonful Of salt, and -four
enough to make thin batter.
For hominy cakes take two cupfuls of
cooked hominy and crush 1t with potato
masher until it Is a smooth mas Add one
level teaspoonful Of salt, two teaspoonfuls
Of Royal Baking Powder, and one cupful
Of -four. Stir together, then add by degrees
one quart Of milk, and lastly three we'll
beaten eggs. Bake in thin cakes
Very delicate. and delicious cakes are
made by allowing two teaspoonfuls Of
Royal Baking Powder and one half tea
spoonful Of salt to one quart of milk, and
sufficient corn meal, mixing all into q
smooth, thin batter; no eggs or butter are
used for these. The cakes bake quickly to
rich deep brown, and are extremely
tender and light.
A very delicious, sweet ancalio Is made
by taking one pint .of sweet milk, four
eggs, two tablepoonfuls Of powdered
sugar, two tablespoopfuls OF melted butter,
one teaspoonful Of Royal Baking Powder,
and flour enough to make q moderately
thin batter. Beat the eggs, whites and
yokes separately, until well frothed, stir
the butter, sugar, and one cupful OF flour,
into which the baking powder has been
mixed, into the yokes, then add the milk.
II needed, aud more flour. Bake In small
cakes, butter each one as It comes from
the fire, place four In pile, with very thin
layers OF any kind OF sweet jelly between,
and powdered sugar over the top. They
should be baked very thin, and four served
to each person.
