Fargeon, the Novelist.

Not all novelists take an absorb
ing interest in the fictitious charac-
ters created by them, but many
of them, especially of the better
class, do. Dickens is said to have
been as deeply affected by the
pathetic scenes imagined and de-
scribed by himself as have his read
ers. Similar stories are told OF
other we'll authors of fiction.
When Benjamin L. Farjeon, the En-
glish novelist, was in this country
some fifteen years ago he said when
he was writing Joshua Marvel he
actually fell in love with the hero
inc. For the purpose of the story
it became necessary that she should
die. So affected was he by the death
scene that after he had written the
last sentence he tainted away and
remained unconscious for an hour.
When he awoke the first words he
spoke to q brother, who was stand
ing beside him, were II loved her"

Praise For the Kickers.

There is good deal of pleasure
in finding fault: and growing, and
proving that whatever is, is wrong.
The insipid person who takes every
thing as it comes with smile Of
approval will never set the river on
fire or make the world turn back
ward. The conscientious and artis-
tic kicker is the most valuable man
in the world he is our best friend,
although we are prone to regard
him as our worst enemy. If it
wasn't for him the landlord at our
pressed brick boarding houses
would feed us on fried liver alto
gether; people would never clean
off their side walks or sprinkle ash
es on the ice; laundry men would
be forever sending US linen towels
instead of silk handkerchiefs. But
Why go into particulars. The kick
er regulates the world and makes
it the dear, sweet place it is; he
does his work for pure love of it;
perhaps he kicks . little too much
occasionally, but his intentions are
good and he should live to green
old age and have pie just as often
as be wants it.--Ex.

Frozen Truth.

The life of an American girl mar
ried into a foreign aristocracy is
usually constant torture, even If
she be reasonably we'll treated by
her noble husband. The ways of
foreign aristocrats are not her ways,
nor their thoughts her thoughts.
She has been torn away from her
home and has had to sever all fam
lily ties. Her school girl associa-
tions, dear to every good young
woman, have been disrupted. She
is forever a stranger to the homo
in which she was born and to the
church in which she learned to
worship. She is cast into socie-
ty who despise her because she has
bought her title, and who have moth
ing in common with her and regard
her as an interloper. Not only is che
Knocked and derided because she
married for title, but the father
and mother for whom she may
have sacrificed herself, are held in
contempt by her aristocratic &C
quaintances, and cannot be rec eived
into the circle in which she moves by
the patronage of her husbands con-
nections. If she sincerely loves her
husband, and if he reciprocates her
affection, all this may be endured.
although it is undoubtedly trial
and burden; but how often do
marriages in which money is paid
for a title, reach the heart, as we'll
as the head and pocket? The rev.
elations of the American wife of
foreign nobleman would be more
sensational than any French novel
ever yet published.-Stephe Fisk

A Cure for Ivy Poisoning.

When you 60 into the country
this summer don't monkey" with
all the pretty plants you may find
along the wayside. Especially
avoid twining, beautiful, three
leaved plant you may find growing
around the base of trees, stone
walls, and old fences. An attrac-
tive plant, just the kind Of glossy
glitter to it's bright green leaves as
impels one to '.just take little of
it home" with you. Don't do it,
unless you are one of those few
that may with impunity handle
Rhus tox. That's the botanical
name of the plant, that, familiarly
known as poison ivy, has caused
so much suffering to many.
The writer has suffered, and
on many occasions has struggled
for its cure by means of neighborly
suggestions, by doctors efforts, po-
tions, lotions, narrowing days of
dread and itch. Does it itch? Yes;
you'll know when you have fooled
with Rhus tox, by a strange itch.
It's different from any other itch.
You scratch it, and it seems as
though you had conquered the ir-
ritation; it fooled you. You look
for cause, and find none. The
skin is normal, no blemish shows,
but it itches again. When you are
warm and comfortably asleep, you
will be wakened up scratching that
same spot. You "could dig it out
with your nails" You can't do it.
That's Rhus tox. poisoning.
Soon a small, Insignificant SWELL
ing Jumps up where the itch is;
then it begins to look watery un-
derneath the skin, but it itches
none the less, rather more. You
scratch through the skin, the water
underneath is released, and the
nails and fingers carry the watery
poison to fresh spots; possibly to
the face, the ears, the body. The
same tedious itching. scratching is
multiplied. You are now a case
for sympathy. Without means of
cure, your existence is realized
sheol. l propose, now that you un-
derstand the cause and the symp-
toms, to tell of the cure. 1t is sim
pie, it is effective. Procure from
the drug store or other stores where
they are sold a small bottle of lit
tie sugar pills, labled "Rhux tox."
A chair of the dog that bit you"
will cure you. Take six of these
little pills at one dose, four doses
the first day-morning, noon, even
ing, and bedtime. The next day
the itching will be Modified a de-
gree. The second and third day,
take three doses of six pills each
dose. You will, by this time, be
so free from irritation that you
may carelessly take few pills un-
til nature heals up the sores. So
soon as the healing begins, be very
chary of taking many of the pills,
as they will, in excess of require
ment, produce an intolerable,
though harmless, itching over the
whole body.
The writer, poisoned on an aver
age four to elk times a year, fnds
this remedy a permanent check on
the first appearance of poisoning
symptoms.-H. M. in the Scientific
American.

The People OF Lapland.

The Lapps have reconciled me to
civilization. They are as cunning
and sharp as they can be, and not
in the least good-natured, but some
how manage to live together with
out flying at each others throats.
In all instances they are not frights.
I saw a few comely young women
and a few crones with really intel
ligent and interesting faces, and
some beautiful infants. But the
men, without q single exception,
were hideous, bow-legged dwarfs.
To the deteriorating influences of
dirt and marrying in-and-in they
superadd that of drink. The wife of
a drunken husband is allowed, with
out the formality of divorce, to
leave him and take sober one, or
to neglect him for man that suits
her better. All have talent for
making money, and they hoard
what they scrape together. The
peculiar bad smell of Lapp settle
ment is a compound of smells in
summer of shambles, dirty dairies,
dirty kennels and of gatherings of
dirty human creatures. Bluebot-
tie flies swarm on the reindeer
hides and on the bladders filled
with reindeers' blood that are out
in the sun to dry. Their bite is ven-
omous and may be fatal, except to
Lapps. The huts reek with foul
ness uncomfortable.
Itrseemed counter to the fitness
of things for creatures of such beau
ty as reindeer to be subject to these
frightful dwarfs. A herd of 1900
were fetched down by dogs from
the fields for us to see. They were
picture, and so gentle that they
would stand to be petted. The dogs
were told, when the reindeer were
wanted, to 60 and fetch them. Of
they went by themselves. In about
half an hour we saw them, with
their charges, come down q noun
tain and twice ford river on their
way to the enclosure where they
usually come to be MIXED. was

was like the richest and sweetest
cream, and, / suppose, is just the
beverage for cold climate. A deep
draught of it would give one indi-
gestion. Lapps themselves cannot
drink too much of it at time.
Diaries on the fields for supplying
timed reindeers' cream to the Paris
market would, l have no doubt, be
a financial success. A teaspoon
full of it would go further than q
tablespoonful of cows cream and
be more palatable.-London Truth
