that the Inventive genius Of women

"SPARTACUS."
The Authors Story of How He Came
to Write 1t.

A writer in the Lewiston Journal
who interviewed Rev. Elijah Kellogg
says:
When asked if lie had written any
declamationS besides "Spartacus TO the
Gladiators,' "Regulus to the Cartha-
ginians," "Virginius to the Roman Ar
my" and "PericleS to the People he
replied that he had written "Icilius,"
but that it had never been published.
Then he asked the writer if he had
ever heard how "Spartacus" came to
be written. and when told that he had
never heard an authentic statement
concerning it Mr.. Kellogg said:
During my first year in Andover
Theological seminary we were required
TO write original destinations and de-
claim them before an audience. A COM
mittee Of three seniors criticised the
speaker publicly. and Professor Parke
performed the same duty privately.
always dreaded to face an audience
and especially 10 be criticised publicly,
and 50 ! thought | would write some
thing that would so interest them in
the story Of it that the critics would
forget 10 notice the errors. and so |
wrote 'Spartacus.' When had finish
ed declaimiug it. the professor asked
the committee if they had any sugges.
tons to offer and they said they had
not. but Professor Parke told me pri-
vately that there We're errors that
might be mentioned, but that he was
glad l had made q departure from the
old custom of declaiming nothing but
sermons and moral dispositions and
had given them some rhetoric"
So the author of "Spartacus' was the
first declaimer of it, Little did he
think that he was the first Of thou
sands of academic and collegiate
youths on both sides of the sea to re-
cite a composition Of SO humble origin.
This bit Of literary history is precious
as coming from the lips of this grand
old man. and this interview will forey-
er have a safe place in the treasure
house II the writer's memory.

Reading a Book.

4 writer IN the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages Of
the ordinary book are Injurious TO the
eye Of the reader. The curvature ne
cessitates constant change Of the TO-
Gus Of the eye as it reads from one side
70 another, and the ciliary muscles are
under a constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides Of the page, further interfering
with q continued clear field Of vision.

The Angel Of Peace Scared Away
by Q Chicken.

Mrs. Mary Burrows and Mrs. Mary
Robinson are neighbors in Kewalo
Mrs. Burrows does not like chickens.
Mrs. Robinson does. The likes and
dislikes of the two women were the
cause or charge OF assault being plac-
ed against Mr.. Burrows at the Police
Station. One OF the Robinson chickens
fiew over into the Burrows yard. Mrs.
Burrows and her offspring gave chase
to the feathered intruder and the din
OF the pursuit called the attention of
Mrs. Robinson to the peril of her fowl.
Looking over the fence separating their
respective premises Mrs. Robinson
claims she saw Mrs. Burrows in the act
OF doing great bodily injury to the un-
fortunate rooster and she demonstrated
in language seldom heard in polite
society.
Mrs. Burrows claims she was hit with
brick thrown by the irate owner OF
the chicken. She also says that she
was showing" the chicken out of her
yard and not trying to kill or hurt Il.
Mrs. Robinson denies that she called
any names or threw any stones but on
the contrary says she was the one in
jured and that she was struck in the
back of the neck by a stone thrown by
Mrs. Burrows.
Both women appeared in the Police
Court yesterday morning. The story
was told before Judge Wilcox. The
plaintiff and defendant each fatty de-
MED the language and acts attributed 10
her and each produced in court the
stones that they claimed to have been
hit by. As the names called were much
harder than the stones looked Judge
Wilcox dismissed the case. The bel
ligerents left the courtroom each with
her head in the air and IL looks could
have killed there would have been work
