Novelists nnd Copylsta.

One rather wonders at the patience of the romancers under these accusa- tions of being cheap copyists; they must be tempted at times to quote the artist who mixed his colors with brains. What is an original writer good for if he cannot compare, and combine and invent? Here is a skeleton interview:
 "Is it true, sir, that MT. Pea Green sat for the villain in your last book?"
 "Not exactly. The ears only are his, and them I heightened and pointed somewhat, The nose Is Browns, turned little to one side. The legs I took from Gray, but not the trousers; he never wears plaids, One mustn't be too personal. you know"
 That would be answering the wise ac- cording to their wisdom A careful novelist does his work neither with the camera nor the scissors; he would not descend to slavish copying If he could; 1t Is doubtful whether he could if he would. He gets his materials from life
 but he gets them as practical philoso- phers get their theories, and cultivated people their culture, and experienced
 men their experience, and the mature
 their maturity, and all of us our ideas l If we have any. When one has read or skinned many hundreds of books, and met thousands of people, and | stopped at scores of places, and had his
 share of ups and downs, and noted and felt the usual vicissitudes of outside and inside weather he does not usually need or care to go back and reproduce any particular observation, or happen ing, or emotion verbatim ct liberatim.
 If he does-as Charles Reade did when he dragged himself and his scrap-books l into a novel-he Is apt to spoil his work
 thereby. An egotist puts the sacred ego into his characters, especially his l heroes, perforce, a Ia Byron; but it is
 not very nice thing to do. The right method is this: whatever one had seen and heard and felt goes into a big pot which is always on the fire.

lust Like Home.

The man from Kansas was making
trip across the Atlantic, and during
the passage the weather was extreme
" boisterous. One morning when it
was blowing great guns the Kansan
appeared on deck. Nobody was in
sight except the captain.
$50 below there" he shouted.
The passenger looked around to
see whom he was talking to.
"You mean me?" he yelled back
when he saw there was no one else in
sight.
'sOf course 1 do; go below" and
the captain came alongside.
"Well, guess not" protested the
Kansan. "I'm up here to see how
one of your mountain high waves
and terrific gales compares with
what we have In Kansas In the way
of cyclones. This amt a patch to
what I've seen out our way"
Before the captain could offer
further objection big green wave
came curling over the place where
the passenger stood, and the next
thing he knew he was swept off his
feet and carried aft over ropes and
boats and all the parsphernalia of a
ships deck and landed in q heap in
one corner, where he was saved from
being washed overheard. When
they got him out he had broken
leg, a twisted shoulder, a sprained
wrist, his face looked as if he had
been dragged backward through a
briar patch, and he was unconscious.
They carried him to the captains
room, and after much effort restored
him to consciousness. He gazed
around a minute in bewilderment,
and his eyes fell on the captain.

A Pioneer Missionary Dead.

The Rev. George Pratt, pioneer
missionary at Samoa, and, with the
exception of the Rev. j. 3. Hair, of
st. Armaud, Victoria, the only sur
vivor of the early band Of Samoan
missionaries, died recently says the
Melbourne Argus, after a long and
painful illness. He went to Samoa
in 1888, under the auspices of the
London Missionary Society, with the
late Rev. VIM. Howie. In addition
to his ordinary work, Mr.. Pratt lent
valuable aid in the translation of the
Scriptures into the Samoan language,
and he compiled Samoan diction-
airy and grammar. He died at the
ripe age of n, leaving a widow and
twelve children.

The Gu1fs Level is Rising.

NC OuA1 - ASCbCA 40 AAAS~AS
According to the engineers of the
photographic Bureau, the level of
the Gulf of Mexico is one foot high
er than it was in 1859, and, of course,
the encroachment on the surround
ing coasts has been greater or less,
depending on their character. In
some places, where the marginal
lands are composed of high, rocky
bluffs, this change of level has gone
on from year to year without attract
ing attention. On the other hand,
many low-lying points (some that
were'once inhabited by the primitive
inhabitants or by the pioneer white
settlers) are entirely submerged.
The cause of this change of level
has not as yet been ascertained, but
il is reasonably certain that it is the
result of either settling of the dry
land or of a general and uniform
rising or upheaval in the Gulf bed.
No man who has given the matter
a moments thought will argue that
there is more water in the Gulf now
than there was 35 years ago. On
the contrary, there isn't the least
doubt but that there Is much less.
However this may be, IL this aqueous
encroachment is steadily maintained.
Keokuk will be deep-water hsrbor
and st. Louis and the whole Missouri
will be entirely submerged in less
than 10000 years from January l,

Oaueht Smoking Opium.

Two Chinese sailors were caught
smoking opium aboard the bark
Velocity last night, by Customs
Guards Archie Turner and Kanoa.
The sailors on having their outfits
taken away from them, said they
had been smoking continually and
had always been allowed to do as
they pleased about it. The outfits
were seized and taken to the police
station but the Cinnamon were not
arrested.

National Cane Shredder
trATENTED UNDER TIE LAWS o.
TIE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED.
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 1875
hours grinding with an output
of 3003 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of formeryears.
"The three roller mill being
26 In. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently erec-
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being %
to Is per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"

war. and their respective wives. \
number OF States of the Union have
soldiers, homes. and at Washington.
D. c.. u National Home exists. but
nowhere have arrangements been made
to keep together an old and helpless

contemplate that an old soldier cannot
accept shelter from any of the estab
lished Soldiers Homes unless he casts
aside or desert his wife. who. perhaps,

desires to make known the fact that
they are preparing to build a suitable
home as soon as 4 desirable location
can be determined on.
The locality where this home is to be
built will derive many benefits, some
OF which may be here mentioned:
First-The advertising of the loca-
ton.
Second-The increasing of trade at
such place.
Third-The building of the home bv

LATER.

LOUISVILLE.K KY. January 21.-From
what was learned to-day concerning
the sinking of the steamboat State of
Missouri. at Wolf Greek, KY, Satur-
day evening last, it is believed that
the reported loss of life was greatly
exaggerated A number of persons
who were supposed to have been
drowned have put in an appearance,
much to the relief OF anxious friends
and relatives.
All of the passengers have been pick
ed up at Alton, Ind, and at other
points. The State of Kansas reached
the scene of the wreck about O'Clock
this morning. Thirty-three of the Mis-
souri, crew were brought here by the
Tell City, most of them having been
picked up at Harding's Landing. The
mate, Nick Adams, and one of the en-
gineers, was picked up in the middle
of the stream in yawl, near Reno,
seven miles below the scene of the ac-
cident. The mate and engineer had
rescued a number of persons from the
top of the cabin and pilothouse. among
those saved being three of the five
women passengers.

A YANKEE BANANA FARM.
Established Eighteen Years Ago and
Now Employees Twelve steam
ships.

1t is OF interest to Americans. as
showing what can be done in tropical
enterprises, to know that the largest
banana plantations in jamaica are
owned by an American corporation,
the Boston Fruit Company. This COM
pany was formed in 1877 by Capt.
Jesse Il. Freeman, Capt. Lorenzo d.
Baker, \. w. Preston, and several
other enterprising Boston men for the
purpose of growing bananas in Jamai-
ca and shipping them to this country.
Capt. Baker was the leading spirit in
the new enterprise, and has stood at
its head ever since, being its President
and the manager of its tropical divi-
sion, while Mr.. Preston manages the
Boston division. The capital of the
new company was 5000, ZOO. Land was
purchased, two steamers, the Jesse Fl.
Freeman and the Lorenzo d. Baker.
were built for transporting the fruit.
and operations were begun. This was
which the company transacts to-day.
The company has now a capital OF
$500, GOO, with a surplus of S1,0OO,O 900,
owns 2S.000 acres of land and leases
some 1900 more. employs twelve
steamships 10 carry the fruit to the
United States. and annually ships
about 3,0O0,000 punches of bananas
and 5,0G0,000 cocoanuts, besides con-
siderable quantities of pimento (all-
spice), coffee and cocoa. The labor
on the plantation is done by both
negroes and East Indian coolies, some
400 of the latter being employed, and
aHOther importation of them being
about to be made. Upward of 600
mules are daily in harness to carry
iI.uit from the plantations to the ships.
500 head OF working oxen are used for
plowing and other work, and Il large
additional number of cattle is kept on
rhe grazing land which belongs to the
company. The steamships of the COM
pany number twelve in all and ply be-
tween Port Antonio and the ports of
DOston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
They are all iron vessels and are built
for speed, which is a very necessary
point in transporting fruit. Until
recently the carrying of passengers was
a side issue; but two new vessels, the
Barnstable and the Brookline, have
just been added to the feet, each pos
sessing large and elegant passenger
acconmodation.-Chicago News.

If Senators and Representatives in

ing the newspapers nowadays, they
would get even less if they could hear
the comments of the people-busi-
ness men. professional men and work

making of themselves before the coun-
try. If they could they would bless
the newspapers for the mildness and
gentleness of their comments and crit

The Religion of Japan.

1t would be hard to say just what the
present religion of the Japanese is.
There are all kinds of sects, Buddhism
probably predominating. Since the Mi
kado renounced his infallible and sa-
cred character considerable looseness
in religious thought or superstition
notwithstanding, of course, all the
more room or the advance of Chris
tianity. The temples are very simple
structures. the chief internal feature in
many OF them being a looking-glass,
supposed to be emblematic of the soul s
purity. Near it is font containing
water. In this the worshipper washes,
then proceeds to the looking-glass and
prays for what he wants, and after
leaving a few coppers in box near by,
rings bell at the door thrice as he
goes out.-Engineerlng Magazine.
