Henrik Ibsen's Mothod.

The Danish dramatist writes: "Everything that l have written is most intimately connected with what 1 have experienced or have not expe- rienced Each new poem has served me for the purpose Of purifying and enlightening the mind; for one is never without a certain share in and responsibility toward the society to which one belongs" It is not sur- prising to find a man with so grave one may almost say so grim-a view Of his own genius seeks from solitude not from choice, but from necessity.
 "When 1 am writing" he says, q must be alone; if I have the eight characters of a drama to do with have society enough; they keep me busy; 1 must learn to know them. And this process of making their ac- quaintance is slow and painful 1 make, as a rule, three casts of my dramas, which differ considerably from each other. l mean in character istics, not in the course of the treat ment. When l first settle down to work out my material feel as if I had got to know my characters on rail way journey; the first acquaintance is struck up and we have chattered about this and that When l write it down again already see everything much more clearly, and I know the people as I should if 1 had stayed with them for month at a watering place. have grasped the leading points of their characters and their little pecu- liarities, but l might yet make mis- take in important points. At last, in the final cast, 1 have reached the boundary of my acquaintances; ] know my people from close and last ing intercourse; they are my trusted friends, who have no surprises in store for me; as l see them now so shall I always see them.
 His work shows the results of this painful and laborious devotion. His characters are creations; they could not, at any turn of the play, do any thing but what Ibsen records of them. Nineteenth Century.

Ecbility.

A generous man expects to be i'm posed upon; but the satisfaction of re- ieving one deserving sufferer com pensates for the modification of being swindled by nine imposters. A sym pathetic nian often stops over, in the judgment of cold, cautious men, and trusts men that were not worthy to be trusted
 Henry Ward Beecher was once crit icised for his sympathetic trustfulness by friend who called 1t 'gusil, and stopping over" lie replied:
 T suppose | do sIop over sometimes. Well, never saw a pan full of milk that did not slop over If you do not wanting any stopping over. take q pint of milk and put it in big bucket, There will be no stopping over then.
 "A man who has only piRt of feel ing in an enormous bucket never slops over. But if man is full of feeling, up to the very brim, how is he going so carry himself without spilling over!"
 His father, Dr. Lyman Beecher, had befriended man who turned against him, and acted very meanly. One day the father, having heard of the mans meannesS, came home very much ex- cited Instead of following out, he raised his hand, and bringing it down emphatically but slowly, said:
 Well, when 1 have ned honor ably toward a man, and he goes away and acts mcanly toward me, l am never sorry that 1 acted honorably to- ward himI'-Youth's Companion.

A Struggle for a Verdict.

l heard a jury story this morning S German had got into row with a guarrelsome Irishman, who had long been a terror in his neighborhood, and the Irishman had been left stone dead on the field A young and inexperi- enced lawyer undertook the defense of the German, and just before the case was to be tried, he found. to his dis may, that tie jury was composed of eleven cumulative looking country men of the murdered man, the twelfth man being German. This, of course, would never do. A defense fund was immediately raised and the German was approached with all due caution, and the promise that if he managed to get a verdict of man. slaughter it would be worth $1, GOO to him; all he had to do was 10 stick to that one word ''manslaughter." We'll, the verdict came in ''manslaughter" in great shape, and the joyful attor- ney for the defense couldn't get the s1 ,OO0 into the Germans hands too quick. Shaking hands with him after the money was placed, he slapped him sn the back and said: You did nobly; you must have had an awful time making those Irishmen agree to man. slaughter" Well, 1 should say so, '' replied Schmidt, "dey was all for ac- uuittal.

Mn~nn LEarta.

The great charter was agreed to by King John on the 18th of June, 1915 at Runnymede It was, in truth. not an act of parliament or statute, but a treaty between the king and his sub jects, and was framed upon a series O. forty-nine articles drawn up by the barons and presented to the king. There was consequently two separate documents: one. "The Articles of the Great Charter of Liberties, and the other, "The Great Charter" itself Neither were signed by either the king or the barons. Both were sealed with the great seal of King John, and, as we shall see. there IS some evidence that the great charter was sealed by some of the barons, but the barons do not appear to have sealed the articles.
 The original articles are in the Brit ish museum, and fac-simile of them is exhibited to the public. They are written in Latin. on parchment ten and three-quarter inches broad and twenty-one and one-half inches long, including the fold for receiving the label To the label the great seal of King John is still appendant, but, unfortunately, the whole document has been greatly damaged It's history is very obscure. At an early date il was probably deposited at Lambeth, and it apparently remained there till 1645.
 At the end of the Seventeenth cen tury it was in the possession of Gilbert Burnet, bishop of Salisbury, and he gives in the History of His Own Time the following account of the manner in which he came by 1t: When tie Impeachment of Archbishop Laud was brought to the bar of the lords, he. apprehending how it would end, sent over Warner, bishop of Ro- chester, with the keys of his closet and cabinet, that he might destroy or put out of the way all papers that might either hurt himself or anybody else. He was at that work for three or four hours, till, upon Laud's being com mitted to the Black Rod, a messenger was sent over to seal up his closet. who came after all was removed. Among the writings took away, it is be- lieved the original Magma Charta pass ed by King John in the mead near Straines was enc. This was found among Warmers papers by his execu. tor, and that descended to his son and executor, Col. Lee, who gave it to mo So it is now in my hands, and it came very fairly to me.
 For this conveyance of it we have nothing but conjecture. As Burnet had been allowed to search all the public records. Lord Dartmouth sug gests that the above account was in tended to allay any suspicion that he obtained so valuable document in less justiiiable manner-Chambers' Journal

Sriaticn and Its Treatment.

Among the diseases which often long defy the efforts of the physician there is scarcely one, in which a cure Is possible. more obstinate than sciat- ica. 1t is a neuralgia, as its name i'm
 plies affecting the sciatic nerve,
 which lies along the back of the hip, thigh and leg It is not common trouble, contrary to the general inn pression consequent upon its being confounded with rheumatism involv- ing the parts covered by the sciatic nerve. The obstinate character of sciatica should be generally under stood, otherwise in many instances physicians undertaking to treat it may be unjuslly blamed There are many influences capable of exciting it; the most common one is probably catch ing cold. the lower part of the body particularly being exposed. Lifting and straining are among its causes; so also are constipation, hemorrhoids, oc- equations requiring persistent sitting posture, local injuries, etc. The reme- dial measures for sciatica include quite a number of internal mendicantS, in- jections of various narcotic agents, also electricity, blistering, local freez- ing of the skin by sprays, nerve stretching, etc. Very rarely indeed 9 ease yields readily to treatment, but in many instances one measure after an 0sler is tried without success, which is only reached after almost every known eXpedient has been resorted to. 4 cure in every case of sciatica is pos sible, and can in time be affected, but the victims patience must often be sorely tried.

RnNRI HouselSeeninr.

Baron Stockmar relates that the pal ace was in the charge of three sepa- rate departments, each of which moved along its own predestined track with out any sort of unity OF prearrange- ment. It was not decided which parts of the palace belonged respectively tO their control. In the time of George III the lord stewart had the custody of the whole palace excepting the roy al apartments, drawing rooms, etc. In the next two reigns it was held that the whole of the ground floor, including halls and dining rooms, was in his charge At the beginning of the present reign, tie lord stewart surrendered to the lord chamberlain the grand hall and other rooms on the ground floor, but it was a question quite in the clouds to whom the iuris- diction Of the kitchen, sculleries and pantries belonged. The outside of the palace pertained to the department of the woods and forests,
 One result of this arrangement was that, while the lord chamberlain could clean the inside of the windows, he could not clean the outside, and negotiations had to be carried on to secure that the operations within and without should be conducted at the same time. The hOusekeepcrs, pages and housemaids were under the au- thority of the lord chamberlain the footmen, livery porters and under but lers under that of the master of ths horse, while the clerk of the kitchen, the cocks and the porters were under the jurisdiction of the lord stewart.
 It was the duty of the lord stewart to lay the fires and the lord chambc". lain to light them. The lord cham berlain had to provide the lamps and the lord stewart 10 keep them in or der If pane of glass in the scullery wanted mending a acquisition had to be written and signed by the chief cook; 1t was then countersigned by the clerk of the kitchen, then taken ta be signed by the master of the house hold, thence taken to the lord cham berlain, by whom it was authorized, and finally laid before the clerk of the works ill the pepartment of the woods and forests. The authority of the master of the household was en- tirely unrecognized The servants went off duty whenever they liked, while the dormitories, where ten or a dozen footmen slept in the same room, were the scene Of smoking. drinking and otEer irregula"'tie ties. - Contempo- rary Review.

Window Washers Perils.

The primitive plan of washing win dows by sitting out on the sill to clean the outer sash killed one woman. who fell backwards into the street yester- day. It is always marvel. seeing this perilous plan for cleaning up per windows. that more of such unac- customed gymnasts do not lose their balance, and. with it, their lives. Nothing can save them when they once topple over. because their hands are otherwise employed than in hold ing on A fashion of sash that hinges, instead of being raised by weights and pulleys, is desideratum. There are contrivancas for this purpose, but il will probably take number of funer- als before house builders and house owners conclude to adopt them EveE when the window washer does not fall out backward, the strain upon nerves and muscles is most injurious by this bad old plan Philadelphia Ledger.

The success of the ladies' fencing class has proved beyond a doubt the propriety of fencing as ladies pas time. lis not too violent, for each one can regulate her activity to suit her self, and remain on the defensive CT assume the offensive as she feels like 1t Twenty minutes of active fenc- ing will give more exercise to all the muscles of the body than two hours of pretty fast walking. One of the mem bers of the ladies class said to the writer that in her opinion one month s fencing will teach girl better how to walk and carry herself in a draw ing room than a years lessons in dan cling or calisthenics
 Those who have seen the 1.-the, straight figures and graceful motion of the ladies who indulge Tn fencing will be inclined to agree with her fully and to wish success to those who have added to the list of female ath- letics all exercise so eminently fitted for the use Of the fair sex and for their physical development.-New York Star.

Various patterns of filters are i'll use, very few of which are Of any value whatever They act only as a strain CT to remove the c0arser impurities, but have no effect upon the micro scopic bacteria, or matters held in so

Suuint and SpectacIeS,

A recent writer on opthalmic sur gery calls attention to the fact that many cases Of ''squint' in children. which. if left to themselves, become so pronounced that only a surgical operation can be of service to them, would be easily cured by the use of proper spectacles if seen by compe- tent specialist in the earlier stages of the affection. The present generation, he says, has witnessed many improve ments in the operation for squint. The objects to be aimed at by operations have become well understood. But it is stated that board schools and others educational establishments are still buSily engaged i'll manufacturing fresh cases, though, thanks to improved spectacles, there are now fewer squints requiring operation than formerly. Aoe. is hardl Y a bar to the wearing of spectacles, quite young children soon becoming accustomed to their use. It is possible that enthusiastic specialists may sometimes carry their principles too far The sight of so many boys and girls i'll streets and schools and offices with ''spectacles on nose" Is not encouraging. Still, if many of the youthful patients are merely under going a temporary treatment for squint, there Is less reason for regret. Undoubtedly it IS better for child to wear spectacles for a few years, and thus be cured, than to have to run the risk of tendon section in later hfe.-- London Hospital
