The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1892-12-02

After his second novel he never at-
tempted to write without definite pur-
pose. Experience has taught him never
to begin n novel without Il clearly de-
fined framework.
His method of procedure is interest
ing and instructive. A novel of $4,000
words he divides into twelve chapters.
He marks the chapters in which most
effective episodes are to take place-the
climaXes, etc.-then fills in the incidents.
In Il novel of $50, 900 words he divides the
development into thirty chapters, then
puts in the headings and is generally
able to write the story out as planned.
The plots of some of his stories were out
lined i'll all hour, while others cost six
months labor. He takes his characters
and incidents from life and keeps note
book in which he jots his observations.
He knows the people and places of
which he writes.
He speaks four tongues fluently. To
write the witch of Prague" he went to
Bohemia. The name of the hero he
picked up from a signboard. He has
lived in every port III Europe and advo-
Gates the adjustment of our diplomatic
service. When ready to write he shuts
himself up and rarely leaves the house
until the story is completed. Five thou
sand words day is his average work,
while frequently 1000 words go from
his hand to the printer without an alter
alton.
81 cannot write short story" added
MIR. Crawford. II never wrote but one,
and that was horrible ghost yarn"
He does not read many Of the novelists
Of the day. Zone may unconsciously
initiate, and l don't want another fell
lows paint to stick to my coat" was the
ingenious apology. 81 have read, how
ever. Gallagher and Other Stories.
They are tremendously good"
MIR. Crawford thinks there is greater
scope for the novelist in America than
elsewhere-more originality and diver
sity of character-but as it would take
him several years to learn its phases he
does not expect to utilize his present trip
to any extent in future stories. Mr..
Crawford will be joined in the spring
by his wife, who, with their four chill
dren, is now ut their home at Sorrento
on the Bay of Naples.

Novelist.

NEW YORK, Dec. LIT was after n
"Robin Hood" matinee that it was my
privilege to meet F. Marion Crawford,
the novelist. He has low, strongly
accented voice. His manner puts the
stranger ut ease and invites conversa-
ton. Long residence in foreign lands
has made him i'll actually citizen of
the world. He intends to give readings
from his three favorite works-"Zoroas-
ter" witch of Prague" and 1.-The Gig
arctic Makers Romance"
"How has 'Zoroastcr' escaped drama
tization?" l asked
Several have attempted it," was the
reply, "and many asked permission,
"but no one has yet succeeded. Any
body is welcome to try it. l should be
very glad to have it dramatized, but 1
think it is better adapted for an opera
The difficulty in the drama is to find two
actresses of equal beauty and power
willing to accept rival roles. In an
opera this could be avoided by a soprano
and contralto. An Italian composer was
accused several years ago of stealing his
libretto from 'Zoroaster.'"
"What suggested the story?"
81 was reading Sanskrit with an old
priest in Bombay" said Mr.. Crawford,
"when the story of the three children in
the fiery furnace recalled tho fire wor-
shippers, and the idea that Zoroaster in
flucnced the Hebrews grew upon me. l

biological connection. gathered notes
for the story years before it was written.
L am prodigious worker" he contin-
ued. Il work hard-very hard-and
always expect to. 1 have tremendous
mechanical facility, the result of forced
training. That's all!'
T. Marion Crawford is the son of the
sculptor, Thomas Crawford, whose work
adorns the Capitol at Washington. AS
a boy he never cared for books. He
drifted early into newspaper work in
New York, and the trials and tribula-
tions of the hero in ''The Three Tales" is
his own experience. He wrote criticisms,
book reviews, everything and anything
that would sell-glad to get fifty cents
for u critiQue.
''Oh, know the streets of New York."
said the famous romance weaver, with
retrospective CLEAN in his frank eyes.
81 passed over them night and day and
rarely earned living expenses"
Crawford's first novel, "Mr. Isaacs,"
appeared i'll 1882. 1t was begun as a
short story and enlarged to please an
uncle. When the second chapter was
done he thought lie would let the hero
fall ill love with an English girl, to see.
as he expressed it, how it would 60 He
was then editing paper in India, and
Mime. Blavatsly and Theosophy were
the topics of the hour. So Theosophy was
introduced into Mr.. Isaacs," which led
many readers to suspect Mr.. Crawford
was of that ism rather than the practi-
Cal Catholic that he is.

Lace belongs to them, whether it is
piled up over the dear old head or gath
cred ut neck and sleeves. Crepe lisse is
theirs by right of it's delicate softeninr
effect. Rich dark silks, brocades and
velvets wcro never SO we'll employed as
in gowns for those dear old ladies. Soft
woods in drab, prune gray and black
seem mado on purpose for them, and i'm
them they make charming pictures.
The driving dresses are usually warm
and thick rather than ornate, and the
wrap should be of Il rich and elegant
kind and one of those that does not 20
out OF fashion soon, as grandmothcrs do
not like to change the fashion of their
clothes with every new moon. The bon
nets arc made to suit. There are those
that como down over tho ears. and there
are felt hats for those who like them,
trimmed heavily with feathers and
MORE ribbon, and wide bows under the
chin, for few ladies' who have passed
their hftles can go without the bow
under tho chin, which hides that fatal
double fold of flesh and preserves the
old outline of younger days. There are
close capotes and bonnets of various
those for tho granddaughter, only that
tho colors are trifle quieter, and the
outlines not quito SO accentuated. Grand
mothers arc as dainty with their gloves,
their shoes and other trifles as their
granddaughter, and this is rs it should
be. They should be even moro particu-
lar with their toilet to mako up for the
ravages of time.
might add word here about shoes
for the very old grandmothers-not the
active, middle aged ones. For them,
when their feet are tired with many
weary midnight walks with fretful
babies, are lovely soft shoes with soles
flexible enough for the tenderest feet.
And it is now the fashion to crochet and
knit warm WOODEN shoes and sew them
to thick felt soles. A pretty ribbon
around the top finishes them and draws
the top snugly around the ankles and
keeps tho feet warm as toast. No better
present could be devised for dear old
grandmother.
Her little pets are dressed SO quantity
by all American mothers. Cloaks are
of elder down flannel or of some of the
thick, soft woolens, garnished with mar
row bands of fur or ribbon. One cum
ming little coat of drab flannel has
sleeves and yoke braided with green
braid, and a sash bow with three round
tassels Of green silk. The hat was green
felt and drab plush.
Another had a shorter coat of light
blue cashmere with black astrakhan
trimming, and hat of white felt with
blue ribbons and plumes. A funny lit
tie Quakerish gown for party for a
girl of ten was of baby blue cashmere
with ribbon bands around the skirt.
The waist was quilted onto the yoke and
held i'll just under the arms with ribbon,
and the sleeves were made the same way.
1t IS like the 'hourglass' pattern in
vogue perhaps 200 years ago 1t is pic
turesque, but I do not call it pretty, yet
one has to give the fashions as they are.

/ notice among the novelties for little
girls that the hosiery is Of many kinds.
Plaid stockings in Scotch designs are the
most fashionable, and black next.
For boys black, dark blue and brown

sort of steel horseshoe on the heel, and a
steel piece shaped like boomerang
clQmped along the side Of the sole.

A peculiar case of poisoning by a
physician was that of DIR. Stephen Eot-
vos, in Hungary, about twenty-five
years ago. Eotvos undertook to hasten
the death of patients whose cases he
considered hopeless by putting them out
of their misery, as he termed it, with
fatal drugs. He encountered no opposi-
ton to his peculiar methods of benevo-
ience while he practiced them on people
of no particular standing. But when
the doctor fastened the death of well
known land proprietor named Szlavy,
who was slowly dying of cancer, the
relatives of the dead man presented a
violent protest and demanded the prose
cution of Eotvos.
The physician declared on trial he was
actuated by humane motives and had
merely eased the journey of his victims
to the inevitable goal. This defense was
not accepted by the court. Eotvos was
acquitted of malice, but found guilty of
homicide without malice, and sentenced
TO long term Of imprisonment.-Pitts-
burg Leader.

Turning Tin Refuse to Profit.

For long time the owners Of sardine
factories were at loss to know what to
do with the mounds of tin clippings that
accumulated at their docks. The clip
pings are now collected and sorted ac-
cording to their shape, those made by the
dies which stamp the bottoms and COW
ers of the cans being pounded into suit
able shape for handling, while the strips
made by the shears in cutting the tin
for the sides are bundled and boxed.
The clippings are smelted down in a
furnace, the tin with which they are
coated being melted and drawn off sep
arately. while the molten macs Of metal
which composed the plate is run into
molds and formed into window weights
and other useful articles. The bright
tin strips Of various sizes are utilized in
sundry ways, forming tin tags for the
enumeration Of plug tobacco, button
molds, ornamental baskets. and dozens
of other ARTICLES. New York Telegram

CONDITIONS,
Amy Passenger for JoppaS'

Mr.. Punch's early joke about the
Syrian railway of the future, with the
guard exclaiming "Any passenger for
JoppaT is at last in a fair way to be
realized. 1t is officially reported that
considerable progress is being made
with the Akka-Damascus railway, the
route of which after various expensive
surveys has now been definitely decided
upon.
The line is practically that first sug-
gested by Major Gender, of the Royal
Engineers, several years ago Begin
ming at the great fortress of Acre, the
railway will run down the plain of Acre,
parallel with the sea, throwing out a
branch TO Haifa, at the northern foot Of
Mount Carmel, and thence to and across
the plain Of Esdraelon, passing near
Nazareth and through the Valley Of
Jezreel, skirting the slope of the hills, to
the River Jordan, which will be crossed
within sight of Bethshean. The Jordan
here offers exceptional facilities for the
erection of the railway bridge, consist
ing of two spans. The two banks of the
river are conveniently formed Of solid
rock, and in the center of the stream is
a large block of similar rock, from
which each span of the bridge win be
thrown.
From the Jordan tile railway will
ascend and pass along the crests that
close the eastern shores of the sea Of
Galilee. II is this ascent that presents
the only difficult portion of the line. An
easy gradient thence will carry the line
TO Damascus. The construction of the
line is expected to lead to important
archaeological discoveries. - London

Choosing his own Name.

There are no better stories than those
of the clergy, even if the young person
does not have TO be sent away from the
table. 1t is significant that marriage is
rarely mirth provoking, while the rite
of baptism and the text furnish no end
of good stories.
One of the stock baptismal anecdotes
is that Of the lisping woman who pre-
sented her child at the font.
"What is its name'" whispered the
preacher.

woman.
"Lucifer! Ny good woman, that is
no name for a Christian child" ex-
