How Jules Verne writes.

Contrary to what / had thought. he
does not first imagine the characters and
facts of the novel he is to write and then
begin TO make Investigations into one or
more countries for his scene Of action. on
the contrary, he reads up the history and
geography Of the countries first. Just as
IL he intended to do nothing else than
describe them fully and minutely His
characters the leading facts and episodes
Of his story rise up in his mind during
this reading, which Is really an object IN
itself and not a mere means TO acquire
useful notes for his book. The varied IN
formation regarding physics chemistry,
astronomy and natural history in which
his stories abound he has not needed for
many years to look up In scientific works.
These were his favorite reading from early
youth, and he has his scientific material
already In his memory, or selects II out
OF an enormous amount Of facts which he
Is constantly acquiring from books, re-

hold good in horticulture. But how would
it be in poesy? Can any one imagine
that J. Gordon Coogier, poet laureate of
South Carolina, would sing as sweetly
as ne does II his name were something

Coogler's nth volume Of Purely Origi-

1t is probable that to attain this OBJ
iect in the shortest possible period of
time, Secretary Alger will go himself
to Ottawa in few days and deal direct
ly with the Canadian authorities, in
stead of relying on the slow moving
process of diplomacy.
This afternoon Secretary Alger sent a
telegram to..General Merriam in structing
him to pick out two officers and fifty of
his best men to act as guards for the ex-
pedition.
Captain Brainerd is to devote himself
to experimenting the selection of stores,
their delivery and proper package at
Dyea for the trip across the passes. At
terward, he may go across with one of
the expeditions.
The present idea is that there will be
twenty of these expeditions. and they
will be loaded with one thousand tons
of food. for which Secretary Alger will
advertise immedia tely, under condition
of delivery at Dyea.
The United States military attache OF
the legation at Stockholm has been
cabled to purchase the reindeer needed
as draft animals and to ship them to
Dyea. Mr.. Kjellman, the chief herder
of the Alaskan reindeer herd, is now in
Lapland, where he has been getting an
option on the ANIMALS needed.

Union Pacific would be looked upon
with great suspicion. but circumstances
are such that the report is believed to
have good foundation. But there is
friction, it is said, between his friends
and the friends of Vice-President La
mont. Lemont was originally slated for
the presidency. He was the choice of
J.-J. Hill. but ]. Pierpont Morgan, head
of the Northern Pacific syndicate, did
not think Lamont had the requisite en-
terprise. A compromise was effected
and Mellen was chosen president and
Lamont vice-prerident.
Rumors have lately been current that
Lamont would soon succeed Mellen as
president of the Northern Pacific, and
thus strength is given to those reports
that Mellen had been practically agreed
upon as most suitable for the presiden-
cy of the Union Pacific.

Rich ana Poor in India.

Our standard of civilization is per-
sonal comfort-luxury, thing abso-
lutely unknown in native India. There
is scarcely any difference in the mode of
living between the rich and the poor.
If you go into the house of arajah, there
is the same bare floor, and only a simple
platter to eat from, such as is seen in the
home of the poorest. To put it crudely,
there viii probably not be even the
luxury of a wash basin and towel, for
the rich man, like his poor brother, he
washes in the open and dries himself
in the sun. Such is the extreme sim
plicity of life that wealth is still buried
in India; a man may spend it on jewels
for his wife, but not on pleasure or per-
sonal comfort. This simple life, which
fostered no distinctions of class, has
been preserved for 5000 years by In
dian civilization, but ours will destroy it
in so years.-Humanitaria

It Is Now Said that AIellen is Slated for
the Place.
CHICAGO, Dec. lS.-The Tribune SAYS
the opinion is gaining ground in rail-
way and financial circles that neither E.
w. Winter or Horace G. Burt will be
president of the Union Pacific. The
man now mentioned for the position is
Chas. Mellen, president of the Northern
Pacific.
Mr.. Winter, it is said. did not feel in
clined to take the position for personal
reasons. Burt's name was then sug-
gested, but objection, it is said was raised
to him on account of his being now vice
president and assistant to the president
of the Northwestern.
Under ordinary circumstances the re-
port that Mellen would leave the North
ern Pacific, to take the presidency of the
