thousands Of copies Of this book.
He would like to put it into every

like TO make a free gift Of it to every

Through the Kindness and generosity
Of Mrs. William Appleton, he is au-

We have received a copy of "The
Uncle Toms Cabin of the Horse" a
cheap edition of Miss Anna SewelI's
delightful book, familiar to some
lovers Of horses in this country as
BLACK Beauty" We cannot think
Of another work on the horse IA wide
diffusion Of which would be 30 use
lul, since Miss Sewell's book, besides
its good sense, right feeling, and
sound doctrine as to the proper treat
ment Of horses, possesses the one in
dispensable quality Of readableness.
It will delight refined persons, aud
the simple can understand it.
1t is book that sh Juld be read IN
all our public schools. 1t would
teach boys and girls both humane
and intelligent methods of treating

Peruvian young ladies marry at four

II she smiles in return, he sees that
his advances are accepted and then he
applies to her father for an introduce

never can meet the young lady alone,

II he invites her to concert or thea

Potato Growing.

A point in potato growing that I am
fully settled on is that the best way to
keep off the Colorado beetle is by hand
picking, says q writer IN the Ohio Farm
er. 1t is not only far less work, but
cheaper and surer. It is heavy work to
60 over potato field with watering pots
and sprinkle the poisoned water over
the vines, and if heavy rain follows in
2 day or two the work must be done
over again; but if you begin soon enough
it takes but short time to 20 over an
acre and pick off all the old beetles, and
then you have no young ones. Tho time
to begin is just as soon as you can see to
follow the rows; perhaps not half the
potatoes are up, but don wait for them
to come up; get the early bugs first.
You will have no trouble to see them,
and can get over an acre an hour If the
beetles are not too plenty. think we
got about quart to the acre the first
time we went over ours. Go over them
every third day until you find that they
are so scarce that it does not pay. Or
dinarily three times going over them
will be sufficient, but go ottener il ne
cessary. 1t would seem as though we
might in time exterminate them, il we
would faithfully follow this plan. and !
am encouraged by the fact that we only
picked about half as many to the acre
this year as we did last, and that our
potatoes show very much fewer young
beetles this year than last.

How tho Rus slams Eat.

The Russians eat, on an average, once
every two hours. The climate and Gus
tom require such frequent meals. the
digestion of which is aided by frequent
draughts of vodki and tea. Vodki is
the Russian whisky, and made from po-
tatoes and rye. 1t is fiery and color
less, and favored with some extract like
vanilla or orange. It is drunk from
small cups that hold perhaps half gill.
Vodki and tea are the inseparable &C.

RELIGIOUS FICTION.
Ono of tho Most Interesting Features 81
Modern Literature.

Ono of tho Most Interesting Features Of
Modern Literature.
An interesting phase of the modern
development Of the novel, which is apt
to be overlooked in current discussion
of realism and idealism, is presented by
the popularity of the story or novel
which deals with Biblical scenes and
characters. As in the age of the early
Italian painters the religious feeling of
the people expressed itself in art, in
this epoch of the glory of fiction saints
and martyrs are made characters of
fictitious romance. The disappearance
of religious art, often deplored seems
to have been followed by the develop
ment of religious literature. In this
substitution may be seen the fervid
faith, the respect and love for early
Christians, and the longing of the
Christian soul, which once were repre-
sented in popular artistic form. AL.
though the cultivation of religious fic-
ton proves that the decay of religious
art does not necessarily signify a de-
crease of Christian faith in the world,
there may arise wholesome doubts
whether, after all, the religious novel
is beneficial factor in the spread and
strengthening of Christianity.
The process of making Biblical char
acters into the heroes Of romance both
familiarizes and estranges them.
Brought into commonplace relations
and made to enter into ordinary CONVEX
sation, they become familiar; while en-
veloped in the tissue of fictitious Incl
dents, they lose their hold upon human
confidence and belief. The most sue
cessful religious novel is that in which
sacred characters are place at a remote
distance, and are not given the active,
speaking parts among the throng of
fictitious personages. The novels which
consist of theological discussion, carried
along by the slight thread of romance,
belong to different order of fiction.
They may be useful in giving informa.
ton to those who could not be induced
to read theological treatise, but it
should be recognized that their charao-
ter is superficial and never. impartial.
In whatever manner the religious novel
may be regarded. it can not be over
looked as an interesting sign of relig-
ious feeling of the age. Once the
Christian nations expressed their devo-
ton in art and architecture; in this
period the same feeling is popularized
through the novel. The future NAV
bring another form before the world
