The National Society OF the Daugh-

choice of new president general a1
the recent Continental congress, mas
continued to follow the precedent es
tablished in the case of its first lead
.er. the late Mrs. Benjamin Harrison,
and adhered to with its second, Mrs
,Adlai E. Stevenson, for in electing to
chief Office Mrs. Mary Parke Foster,
wife of John w. Foster, ex-secretary OF
state, and present peace commission
er for China, the revolutionary society
has chosen a woman allied to the ma
tons official center. Neither has 1t
swerved from its former requirements
as regards the personnel of its chief OIL
Ger. Mrs. Foster combines the same
womanly virtues and force of intellect
possessed by her predecessors, and, as
in their case, the honor came to her I'M
sought and uncoveted. She is char

active member of its national board OF
management during the presidency OF
her near and dear friend, Mrs. Caroline
Scott Harrison.

revolutionary heroes on both sides Of
the house. One great-grandfather,
Daniel Read, was a commissioned Off
Ger, and served Gen. Washington. An
other ancestor with a noted revolution
ary record was Col. John Brown, a
member of the Massachusetts, provincial
congress, who fell at the head Of his
troops. A third was Capt. Silas Clark,
who received wounds at the battle OF
Monmouth from which he soon died.
Mrs Foster, says Harper's Bazaar, is
the daughter of the late Rev. Alexan-
der Mcpherson, her mother being Eliza
Read, whose nine brothers all became
distinguished in the army or navy, in
medicine or at the bar. Graduated
with class honors at Glendale college,

America" he said gravely, but with
that great nervous rapidity which
forces him, even when he is making q
public speech, to go back and repeat
words over which he has stumbled.
''Shall you add New York to the cities

bility which his remark had opened up.

And with that he dismissed what is
apparently the most important piece
of literary news of the year. lola go
ing to America to write a novel about
New York! One wonders how this lit
erary surgeon would vivisect the city
which has stolen his books without even
so much as "by your leave" and from
whom he has never received a penny
except four thousand dollars from the
New York Herald for "Lourdes"-in
pay. The literary piracy of American
publishers is a sore spot with him.
1t would be impossible to give bet
ter idea of Zola's methods Of work
than he himself gives in this descrip-
ton of the way he has written and
is writing Rome" In a sense his
physical hard work stops when he gets
to the point where he can actually be-
gin to write-when he has amassed his
material. This point reached, he only
works three hours day. In those
three hours he produces. on an average,
1.500 words-not a very great task.
one thinks, but a moments computa-
ton will show that it means 54,150
words a year. for Zola works every
day. "a line for each day" the motto
in Latin which is carved in letters Of
gold over his mantelpiece at Medan.
And it is this method of regularity in
his work. set above mere energy, that
has enabled him 10 realize the greatest
ambition accomplished by any writer
living to-day. His Rougon-Macquart
series. consisting of more than twenty
great volumes. was completed when he
wrote FINS at the bottom of the last
page OF Doctor Pascal" and he had
