notebooks. Each note as it is used is
scratched out i'll blue or red pencil
From these written notes and the tablets
of my memory-'the deltoi of my mem
ory'-I write out in copybooks the first
copy of my novel
'I write this first copy ON alternate
pages of my copybooks, and leave the
opposite sheet blank. When the book is
finished in its rough state, rewrite it
page by page ON the blank sheets The
page on the right is the amended copy
of the page on the left. Then my wife
looks at this second copy and suggests
to me what improvements might be
made. note these down.
"Then rewrite the whole book again
with the joy of a schoolboy who feels
that wearisome task is ended. So that,
apart from my notes, l write each man

do so would write it as many tirIes

Success in Plant Growing.

There is a wonderful amount of truth in the following statement: Some persons have a knack of making all kinds of plants grow in the most unfavorable circumstances. I think this is partly owing to a magnetic at traction existing between such persons and their plants. The plants seem to know they are loved, that they are household treasures, that every new leaf and flower is as welcome as the new words and expanding thoughts of baby to it's mother. Apparently un- conscious of this, they do their utmost, and in places least adapted for success ful house culture of plants, we often find stands or individuals equal to the best greenhouse specimens"

The Prince Took Of His Hat,

According to the Philadelphia Rec ord, the captain of the clipper Louisi- ana, which lately arrived at that port, tells good story of the way an Amer ican boy, without making himself of fensive, extorted tribute from royalty. While the Louisiana was ly- ing at Dublin, the prince of Wales, who was then the guest of the lord mayor of the Irish capital, sent word to the captain that he would like to come on board and see what an old-time American clipper-ship was like. The captains son heard what was going on, and declared that he would make the prince tip his hat to him. He knew, it seems, that the prince was not in the habit of uncovering in this way. When the royal party came on board the boy appeard on deck waving the American flag. The prince, seeing the national colors, lifted his hat, and the rest of the party followed suit, to the great delight of the captains son, whoathus had made good his boast.

FOUanr UNDER WATER.
Mink Drowned While Killing Musk
 rat in an Adirondack Pool.

rat in an Adirondack Pool
 The muddled water of a half-frozen cove down on the flats told that some thing unusual had happened not long before. Flainer yet was the tale when stiffening furred body rose to the sur face of the little open space of water. Under the fringe of nearly frozen ice a dark spot showed plainly to wood mans eye that a fight had occurred in the water, and closer inspection demonstrated that it had been a fight for food and fight for fife.
 A hungry mink had come that way along a string of coves looking for something to eat. The mice were shy, and he could not catch them. Of fish there were none. but lone muskrat. diving for roots anu after d minute be- heath the waters surface rlslng again, offered a prey at once a fighter and of goodly taste A mink likes to kill fighter. He will go long way from brooks, upon hill and even mountain tops, looking for one, woodsmen say. He tackles martens or weasels, and is especially fond of big muskrat.
 The mink crouched on the edge of the ice moment; then, as the muskrat rose, he sprang for his prey. The musk rat quickly threw up his head and caught the mink by paw. The mink got hold of the muskrat's neck, skin hold only. They rolled and kicked the water high in the air, throwing it ten feet away into the snow. The mink could have killed the muskrat had they been in the snow or on the ground, but in the water the muskrat was too DOW erful. At last they dived, and above them the water boiled and grew yellow with mud.
 Under water the mink was as badly off as at the surface. At last the mink's breath gave out, and, letting go, he tried to rise, but the muskrat would not release his hold on the mink's leg. So at last the mink, after much strug- gling, died. But his hold on the musk rats throat, though at first only skin hold, had later been forced back, and the big vein had been cut. The mink rose to the surface, and the muskrat tried to swim away, but died, and rose as the other had done.

would rush in with our bonds and take
the gold from the country and this ma
ton would be forced 10 a silver basis.
Measured by gold. there is 50 cents in
a silver dollar. and when the gold meas
ure was taken away there was exactly
where the silver dollar would stand
upon its bullion value, fuotuating with
the silver market Of the warld, up to-
day. down tomorrow. Take care OF the
tariff and the silver question will take
care Of itself. From Cape Horn through
South America the mountains are filled
with silver. The mountain chain
which extends through Central Ameri-
ca, Mexico. the United States and how
far north no one knows, is full of silver
mines. II the price should advance un-
der free coinage it would be produced
by the hundreds and thousands of tons.
Would the United States be strong
enough to maintain its value? Remove
the measure Of gold and we would have
a dollar based upon silver alone and be
exactly upon the level of Mexico and
other free silver countries. 1t would
be our measure of value and the bull
lion price would control. The friends
of free coinage say that the prices will
rise If their policy is adopted, 1t is not
true. Prices are bound to seek the level
Of the markets of the world plus the
tariff levied upon imports.
