THE REALISTIC NOVEL

% According to Edmond Gosse in this
months Forum, the realistic novel has
had its day and the world Of readers
must expect another and Immediate re-
action in this most popular branch of
literature. That the reaction will be
complete and all-inclusive he does not
believe; it would be too much to expect
that the leopard should change his spots,
and old leaders like lola abandon the
post they have SO long maintained in the
face of the bitterest attacks, but the re-
suit of the critics comprehensive survey
is the belief that the former recruits OF
the realistic school are fast deserting, If
they have not already deserted, their
former standard and are tending towards
the mystical aad the interpretive.
Among the runaways he instances Mau.
PEASANT and Huysmanns in France, with
Tolstoi in Russia. In America it would
be rash for foreigner to predict what
might happen; in any case, the world OF
letters has not yet learned to look TO
America for literary initiative.
From Zola's villa at Medan came IN
1880 the first clear annunciation OF the
gospel Of realism, and with its theoret-
ical tenets there is little or no fault to
be found. The realistic novel was to be
contemporary; it is to be founded on
and limited BY actual experiences; it is to
reject all empirical modes OF awakening
sympathy and interest; its aim is to
place before its readers living beings,
acting tho comedy of life as naturally as
possible. It is to trust to principles Of
action and to reject formulas of charac
ter; to cultivate the personal expression
to be analytical, rather than lyrical; to
paint men as they are, not as you thlnE
they should be.n Nothing harmful II
this manifesto, nothing even absolutely
new. Richardson, Fielding and Jane
Austen had long before put these same
theories into practice, and certainly the
latter never turned astray in the devious
and sometimes foul paths OF some OF thu
modern realisus.
The theory was excellent, but there
are limits to realism, and these limits
were only to be discovered by actua
practice. With the charge that thi'
school sees nothing in life but filth ant
crime, Mr.. Gosse disclaims all sympathy
but he is ready to point out tho veal
points in the realistic arnor. We wer
promised an exact reproduction OF life
but life is wide and it is ELUSIVE. Thu
image becomes strained and malfor
nation. To use the reviewers ligure
ut can in measure be accounted 10
L3 the inherent disproportion which ez
lists between the small fiat surface OF
book and the vast arch of life which
undertakes to mirror, those studies be
ing least liable to distortion which re
dsct the smallest section OF life." Again

hool that tho story teller was to be

THE halcyon and vociferous young en-
peror OF Germany needs to wear his
mouth IN splint as we'll as his leg. He is
altogether too reckless OF speech. The
other day when on visit to Konigsberg
ne let fall the remark, II shall not allow
my provinces hero in the east to be
touched. Those attacking them will
md that my strength is that of rock
Ihis language seemed to the Russians
TO pc unnecessarily menacing, and has
been quickly followed by the announce
mont that tho Russian army maneuvers
will be conducted on the eastern from
tier this summer on a gigantic scale.
The troops will be commanded by the
generals OF the highest rank, and the
whole establishment will be put on a
perfect war footing. Railroad building
has been going on in the Muscoyite
kingdom for the past three or four years
at rapid rate. Tho car appreciates
tho fact that to put his vast establish
ment on footing with other great
powers he must be able to mobilize his
army with great rapidity. 1t is esti-
mated that Russia has succeeded in
practically concentrating 100000 moro
men or the frontier than the opposing
force of Germany and Austria. It is
likely to be only question of time
when the German emperor precipitates
q conflict. Whatever his intentions
may be, his fatal facility Ct offensive
speech is sure TO bring on crisis very
suddenly one of these days. A little
foolish buster like that at Konigsburg
let fall in the presence OF Russian mil
itary camp, 100000 strong, for instance,
would hardly go unchallenged.

A Sad Death.

Mary Catlin Edwards, wife of Rev. J. M /.
Edwards, Presbyterian minister at White
Sulphur Springs, died yesterday morning.
The death is a particularly sad one as Mrs.
Edwards had been married but year, and
was general favorite in society and
church affairs at the Springs. Mrs. Ed
wards was the daughter of Rev. Mr.. Catlin,
of the Springs. Besides the grief stricken
husband, Mrs. Catlin leaves three brothers
to mourn her loss

CONGRESSMAN PAysoN, Of Illinois, one
Of the best informed men as to the
course Of legislation in the house, says
congress will not adjourn until some
time in September. "The tariff BILL" he
says, cannot be railroaded through the
senate, whore, unlike the house, there is
no previous question to cut off debate
State measures will be widely discussed
by the democratic side as we'll for an OK,
preston of opinion on the important
tariff questions as TO prevent the passage
of the federal election law" Mr.. Pay
son is one of the few republicans who
foresees that his party will not be per-
mitted to carry everything with high
had without discussion. The average
republican congressman believes with
Speaker Reed that the minority has nc
rights and it ought to be gagged to pre-
vent it from making noise.

C.E census taker ia New York City
has been set upon by crowd and
beaten, and another committed suicide
at the end Of the first days experience.
The path of the enumeration in the tene-
ment districts of large cities is anything
but rose-strewn. It requires nice tact
and common sense to remove the preju-
dices of the ignorant against Uncle
Sans conundrums, and unfortunately
that worthy old gentleman has not Sc
lected his assistants with the view to
those qualities in every instance. Poll
tics have controlled the greater number
of appointments under the census bu-
reau, and men have been made enumer-
ators for other reasons than because
they were peculiarly fitted for their
work. Among intelligent people the
enumerators will have no difficult task
Outside of few districts, like those in
New York, it is unlikely there will be
many cases of unpleasant treatment Of
the men with the question lists.

T was upon the subject of horses
I that Senator Stanford grew most
eloquent. I'VE have,'' he said,
"some 100000 of horses in the
United States. Increase their value
800 apiece-it can be done and
you increase the wealth of the coun-
try 81, 500, 900, 900. Think OF that.
And we may do more. Instead of
six years of service make it twelve,
by improving their power and en-
durance. There you double your
power and value every SIX years.
'Do it? Look at my breeding
stables. one of $500 in the United
States They have held the best
one, two, three and four-year-old
records in the country. Look at
Occident (2:16 2-3) brown geldlng
by Doc; dam unknown. He was a
street-car horse, and had done six
years of that sort of work, which
kills an ordinary horse. saw he
had stuff in him, and / began to
train him, and the result was he
made record. His stride was 231-2
feet, and from my observing this
came my experiments with instan-
taneous photography, which showed
that the horse lifts all his feet when
.trotting; and Is, for fraction of
second, in the air. He, without
doubt, had blood. and had fallen in
bad company. BY breeding from
the best, going to the thoroughbred
for endurance and speed, we get the
best type of horse. Careful breed
ing will produce astonishing results.

canning. 2. Does Texas provide
the facilities for making fat 140O-lb
beeves?
We have selected the top and
bottom prices of the market to
show the difference between the per
cent, cost of shipment and price re-
ceiyed per carload for thousands of
head of Texas steers, and price re-
ceivod for the best class of cattle put
on the market from some of the
States north of US.
If we take the highest price for
which fat Texas native cattle have
sold on the Chicago market March
and April, 1915 per cwt., a carload
of 22,4OO lbs. weight will bring
sS4O, or deducting expenses, $11O,
a net price Of $3.50, margin of
$780, so for the difference in cost of
producing twenty head of fat l120
lb. steers, and 25 head of 900 lb
steers.
Any man who has grown both
Texas natives and steers crossed up
with improved blood, if he has used
the right kind of bulls, and the cat
tie have been we'll handled, will, l
think, agree with me when I state
that if Texas natives can be brought
up to 100 lbs. weight and the $3.75
per cwt. standard, graded steers with
a very little better treatment may
be grown and fed up to 1900 pounds,
and above at same age oryounger,
when they will command 4 to 5 IL
cents on the present market.
The great question for the Texas
cattlemen at this present time is to
learn how to produce this better
class of beef, and at the lowest pos
sible cost.

PEANUT OIL.

q ~~~~~se~ OA&~s
TITS commonly believed that pea
nuts are used altogether as q
dainty article of food, but when
we reflect that few, comparatively,
use them in this way and that about
1900, 600 bushels are produced an
nually it becomes evident that there
must be other ways of disposing of
the crop. In book on the Peanut
Plant published by the Orange Judd
company, there is the following in
regard to peanut oil:
The use that gives the peanut es-
pecial value, as an American crop,
is the place it occupies as an oil
producing plant. The oil of the
peanut is regarded as equal in all
respects to sweet and olive oil, and
may be employed for every purpose
to which this is applied. This gives
it at once commanding position,
and were no other use found for
plant, this would give it great i'm
pcrtance among the economic pro-
ductions of our country. Olive oil
Ms largely consumed for culinary
uses, in medicine and in the arts.
Except in California, the olive has
never been planted on commercial
scale in this country, and it is very
important that we possess a plant
that will obviate our dependence
upon foreign oil.
It is stated that bushel of pea
nuts (twenty pounds in the hull)
subjected to the hydraulic press,
will yield one gallon of oil. The
yield by cold pressure is from 40 to
SO per cent of the shelled kernels,
though if heat be used larger
quantity of oil, but of inferior quail
ity, is obtained. The best peanut
oil is nearly colorless, with faint
agreeable odor and a bland taste,
resembling that of olive oil. 1t is
more limpid than olive oil, and be-
comes thick when exposed to tenn
perature few degrees below the
freezing point of water. During the
late war it was extensively employ
ed in the southern machine shops,
and regarded as superior in its lu-
bricating qualities to whale OIL. For
burning it is highly esteemed. The
chief consumption of the oil is in
making soap. For the production
of oil for soap making, there were
imported into Marseilles, France,

ROPING STEERS.

1Vl experienced cow boy, who ar
rived this week from Arizona,
and gave the Gazette friendly call,
speaking of the discussion which is
going on in some of our cattle ex-
changes, regarding the distance at
which steer can be roped with a
iiariat, says, that on level ground
about -:-.y is the extreme.
On horseback, running down grade
and with the wind favorable, he
has roped Steer at one hundred
feet distance. This is the maximum
of what has 3ver been done, and

/ N the following paragraphs, con-
| stituting clipping from an arti-
Gle in the Texas Stockman, Prof.
F. A. Gulley reasons convincingly
of the economy of putting fat cattle
on the market, instead of the lean
scrubs for which the price is SO low.
For the past year any one con-
ver-ant with the Chicago stock mar
ket yard reports will have noticed
that the market has been constantly
glutted with thin and inferior stock
at a low price, while there has at all
times been shortage in the best
cattle selling at high price, the
latter commanding 100 per cent. and
above more than the former.
1t would seem to me that this
particular phase of the market
should receive our most careful con-
sideration for almost the entire out
put from Texas that is forwarded
direct to market sells at about one
half of the price OF the best cattle,
but this is not all: The transporta-
tien on inferior cattle is the same as
of good cattle, and commissions,
feed, etc., are the same.
Take the market for March and
April:
