NEW FIELDS FOR NoVELISTs.
why Does Not Some Writer Use an Eskimo
as Heroine?

The division of the earth among con-
temporary novelists has not as yet in
cluded Greenland, where some new
writer can lay the scene of a story III
which the heroine will wear sealskin
trousers and calm her troubled heart
with mighty drafts of train oil.
Neither has any novelist seized upon
China where great things may yet be
done by story teller who really knows
something of that modern and multitude
nous sphinx, the Chinaman.
But with these exceptions there Is
very little desirable territory which IS
not pre-empted This of course greatly
hampers new novelists who are COM
PEELED to write novels dealing only with
English men and women at home.
England is the common possession Of
every body. and even the American writer
who does not wish to initiate either Mr..
Harte or Mr.. Howells is compelled to
lay the scene of his stories i'll London
or in some one of the many little Eng
lish colonies to be found in continental

This state of things is so plain to ev-

rushed i'll to occupy the Greenland or
the Chinese field.
A Greenland story would at once at
tract attention because of its novelty,
and we who have never been to Green
land could warmly recognize the truth
of it's local color, and the profound
knowledge of Eskimo character shown
by the writer.
An advanced Eskimo maiden with a
wild desire to wear petticoats instead
of trousers and to drink tea instead of
train oil could hardly fail to charm the
reader.

A Vienna professor gives it as his
opinion, after much research on the
subject. that all delicate persons and
those who suffer from nervousness
should never remain long in room
lighted by electric lights, its effect on
the nervous system being such that aft
er awhile they generally become uneasy
and depressed and find it impossible
to concentrate the attention for any
length of time. Young persons, on the
contrary, and those with strong nerves
find the influence of the light extremely
beneficial, especially when the brain is
overworked and tired, the effect being
much the same as that of strong coffee
Il. g., increased activity Of the nerv-
ous system

The Middle Temple's Secret.

While making some alterations in
Middle Temple hall for the installation
of the electric light into that stately
edifice the workmen found box con-
oealed in recess of the wall near the
roof. 1t was opened, and in it they saw
a skeleton in perfect state of preserva-
ton. From the appearance of the bones
it must have lain hidden there for con-
siderable time-perhaps a couple of CEN
turies or more. Whether the skeleton be
that of lawyer or a client cannot now
be ascertained, or it may even be an os-
seous framework which has been used
in all atomical demonstration TO illus
trate how much the law can take out OF
a man. What the skeleton was in life
and how it got into the box in Middle
Temple hall are mysteries. London

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
An Easy Matter to Float on the Surface of
the Thick Water.


the Thick Water.
The Dead sea, or more properly the
Salt sea, is also called in Scripture the
sea of the Arabah; in the Apocrypa, the
Sodomitish sea;in the Talmudical books,
sea of Salt and sea of Sodom. The
name Dead sea seems to have been first
used in Greek, and the Arabic name is
Bar Lut, or the sea of Lot. 1t has a
length varying from ~ to 46 miles and
is only about three miles across at its
broadcast part.
From the analysis of the United States
expedition it appears that each gallon
of the water, weighing l24 pounds,
contains nearly 80 pounds (3.319) Of
matter in solution, an immense quantity
IN view of the fact that sea water,
weighing 1014 pounds per gallon, con-
tains less than one half pound. OF this
80 pounds nearly a pound is common
salt Chloride of sodium), about two
pounds chloride of magnesium and less
than one-half pound chloride of calcium
(muriate of lime). There does not ap-
pear to be anything about it inimical to
confirms this. He says:
LAS for the Dead sea, it will, in con-
tradiction of the name, forever preserve
a green and living memory in my mind.
No fish can survive in it, we all know,
but for place for a swim, or, above all,
for float, commend me to it beyond all
the Winnepesaukees in the world. How
it bears you up in arms How it annihi-
lates the tiresome ponderosity and dig
nifty of the laws of gravitation! How it
introduces you into the inner conscious
ness of dainty ariel and thistledom and
all other airy, fairy creatures The more
you weigh the less you weigh. There is
the real hydrostatio paradox. An Gle
plant in the Dead sea would feel him

ATHLETES.

One and all bear witness to ALLCocK's
Porous PLAsTERs as invaluable for their
purposes.
James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton College, Princeton, N. j., says:
81 have found it imperative to have pure
and simple remedies on hand in case OF
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu-
matism, etc. Shortly after entering upon
my profession, | discovered such remedy
in ALLCOCK's Porous PLAsTERs. | tried
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. ALLCOCK's POROUS PLAs-
TIERS give almost instantaneous relief, and
their strengthening power is remarkable.
In cases OF weak back put two plasters on
the small of the hack and in short time
you will be capable of quite severe exercise.
In sprint and distance" races and
jumping, the muscles or tendons in the
legs and feet sometimes weaken. This can
invariably be relieved by cutting the plas-
ter in narrow strips, so as to give free mo-
ton, and applying on muscles affected"

at times drove her nearly to distraction.

shock some fifteen years ago, brought

which | deemed suitable to one whose

malady, unless you leave the city and

Napoleon and His Pipe.

Napoleon was a snuff taker in a mild
way, smelling of the tobacco rather
than shutting it, but never learned to
smoke. Once only, according to his
valet, Constant he tried pipe. The at
tempt, of which Constant gives hui
morous account, was on this wise:
An eastern ambassador, Persian or
Turkish, had presented the emperor
with handsome oriental pipe, and one
day the fancy took him to use it. Con-
slant, at his masters request, got every
thing in readiness and applied the fire.
1t remained, of course, for the emperor
to set the tobacco alight by drawing in
his breath. So his valet told him.
But, " adds Constant, lat the rate
his majesty went to work the thing
would never be done. He contented
himself with opening and shutting his
lips without breathing the least i'll the
world.
Finally he put the pipe into the valet $
hands and commanded him to light it,
which the valet did and returned the
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took one
good puff and was as awkward this
time as before. The = noke got into his
windpipe, and i"ste.I1 of cling expelled
through the mo an it came 9ut Of the
nostrils and eyes. So Constant says at
all events
The emperor was nearly strangled,
and as soon as he recovered breath he
cried:
Take it away. The horrible thingl
1t makes me sick. "
1t was more than an hour before he
recovered his equanimity, and that was
the end of his career as a smoker. -
