Blacks Method of Writing.

It is said of the late William Black that
his literary method was slow and pain.
full one. He thought about proposed
book for months before he put pen to pa
per. He conjured up the chief Incidents
and characters and lived with his person
ages, so to speak. When he came to the
writing, he was obliged to have perfect
quiet. He could bear no noise at all.
Those who complain Of his endless descrip-
tions of scenery will be interested in know
ing that he made careful and elaborate
notes of that scenery, of localities and
especially of atmospheric effects.
IF one does not correctly and complete
ly frame o character or an incident with
all the circumstances Of the time," he
said, lone gets only blurred page. For

A Double Service.
Feb. l3, 1901

To be mother and sister to her
sons is the double function of a woman
now and then, says The Congregation
alist. Weorce knew college studen'
whose manners were exceptionally
easy and whose whole bearing towards
others was marked by sympathy ano
considerable He was the most popu-
lar man in his class, and justly so.
Knowing that he had no sisters, we
sometimes wondered how she had
learned to be such courteous gentle
man, always practicing those little
civilities which in many cases a man
learns best from a sister who does her
whole duty by her brother. The my
stery was explained when we visited
his home and came to know his gentle
and queenly mother. Whether by
direct precepts or by example only she
had succeeded in filling in the lives OF
her boys to large extent the place ol
a sister, so that they understood how
to carry themselves among other
women, how to be attentive to their
wants without being intrusive. how to
be friendly without being sentimental.
When in addition to all her mothering
a woman does this for her sons she has
jewel opon jewel in her crown.

Nerve3 Well, Ratheri

A woman shoplifter was caught stealing
an umbrella one day in a Philadelphia dry
goods store. But it was decided not to
prosecute her If she would pay for the um-
brella, valued at $3.50, which she did.
The next day she returned and requested
to see the manager When that surprised
person could recover himself sufficiently
to ask her business, the woman calmly
told him that she had been pricing um-
brellas in other stores and found she could
purchase one like her own for 50 and she
wanted to know If he wouldn t refund her
30 cents. As tribute to her monumental
nerve the 80 cents was handed her In 81
lencs.-New York Tribune.

Orthodox Marriage Notices.

There is often something funny about the
way in which marriage notices are printed
There are some which merely state the names
of the contracting parties, the name Of the
preacher, and the date upon which the event
occurs.
But then there are variations. The art in
which some OF the parties may correct any
report that may have gone abroad to the ef'
feet that the contracting parties contem-
plates q runaway match is notable. Without
referring to any such proposed act on the
part of the lovers the notice will simply state
that they were married "at the home OF the
BRIDE"
But the correction OF reports as to contem.
plated runaway matches Is as nothing when
compared to the ordinary local notice OF
those marriages which must be written up.
The custom now Is, to say that marriage is
''solemniZed," and the word seems out OF
place with all that follows. The elaborate
decorations, the floral bell, the way the brides.
men skipped down the aisle and "crossed
over" the manner in which the bridesmaids
danced toward the altar-are all described
with very little variation. The squeaking OF
the organ announces the arrival of the twain
that are TO be made one ne-metaphorically
speaking. The preacher then administer the
obligation, pronouncing the lovers man and
woman, declares that none but he who made
the thunder shall ever put the loving pair
asunder. He pronounces a benediction. In
these words, "May the Lord have mercy on
your SOULS" and the show Is over. The as.
sembled witnesses make for the doors, and
the bride and groom 60 about their business
Of making each other happy for the remain
der OF their lives.
When the marriage is home wedding the
"groaning" Of the tables, the catalogue OF
presents, or wedding gifts, furnish incidents
for another chapter. Brides all beautiful and
lovely. while the bridegroom is always one OF
the best young men of the town, nearly as
we'll connected as the average defaulting bank
teller.

PRIMITIVE HoOSIER CABINS.
Dwellings Constructed by the Earli.
er Settlers In Indiana.

Dwellings Constructed by the Earli-
er Settlers In Indiana.
In the primitive Hoosier cabin-rough,
uncouth, simple abodes-more genuine
happiness has been enjoyed than in all the
fine, costly mansions in the great city OF
New York. Thousands Of wealthy, re-
spectable men and women are living to-
day who were born, reared and married in
such humble cabins. And there are mil
lions Of people living today who have no
idea how these cabins are constructed.
The pioneer from some Of the old east
ern or southern states, with his wife, six
or eight children, gun and dog, would
come to Greene county in his covered
wagon, which was the family abode until
he erected his cabin, which was construct
ed thus: Cut about 40 logs 8 or 10
inches in diameter, 20 of them 16 feet long
and 30 of them IA feet long; slope the
ends off half and notch the other half to
fit; put chunks in the cracks OF the logs
and daub them with mud. The gables
were made of shorter logs until reaching
what Is called the comb, the ends sloped
down to suit the pitch Of the roof.
It being now ready for covering, cuf
poles s to inches in diameter, 16 feet
long, or the length Of the house, notch
them down on the gables about 8a feet
apart. Cut down large oak tree, square
thu butt and saw cuts four feet long, split
| them in blocks about six inches square,
take frow and rive boards half an inch
thick, lay them lengthwise on the afore'
said poles or rafters, breaking joints
| ~, xvif oil
are now ready for the floors Cut poles
six inches in diameter, length the width
of the cabin, for lower joists; place them
about four feet apart; cut tree-general'
| ly linn or some soft wood-saw logs about
six or eight feet long; split into slabs
about three inches thick; hew smooth.
With these make the floor. The door Ii
made of boards the same as the roof, only
longer. The fastening Is q wooden latch
with string hanging on the outside
Ore window, IA by 16 inches, has greas
ed paper for glass. The ceiling is made
with poles for joists covered with clap
boards.
Now comes the most scientific mechan
ical part of cabin bu!lding-the freplace
and chimney. Saw out about six feet
wide out of one end Of the house, six feet
high from the ground; case up the aper
ture Inclose this aperture, extending
back far enough for the back wall Of the
fireplace and as high as the aperture
Now dig yellow clay, dampen and with
small maui beat down and form the
hearth, jambs and back wall. Generally
the jambs and back wall are about q foot
thick. Now split sticks the proper length
for the size of the chimney-the sticks
about an inch thick and N wide. Make
q mortar of the yellow clay and build you,
chimney to the desired height. This makes
q comfortable dwelling without nails

COnsumptiOn-Infected Houses.
News and Courier.

We received few days ago private letter
from correspondent In one our lower coun-
very prevalent among the negroes In his
neighborhood. and asked for certain in forma-
tion relative 10 the disease, and II Ia well
known IN medical circles that 1t obtains to q
population in number OF country districts
as we'll as In many of the cities and towns.
Some helpful light ia shed on this condition
article in the current number of the Bulletin
Of the North Carolina Board Of Health. in
which an instance la reported by DR. +. j.
Garrett. OF Richmond County, in that State,
where whole negro family consisting of "a
stout, healthy man wife and seven or eight
healthy children" died OF the disease in rapid
succession as the result OF moving into an in.
fected house.
Summarizing the report in few words, DR.
Garrett reports that negro man brought his
sick wife. having consumption, into the house
and she died there. A few months later, the
and three months afterward. the father show.
ed sings Of having contracted the disease. A
little later ''hve or Six where down" at once,
and the rest soon followed. In the end, all OF
the ten members OF the family died. Dr Gar.
"rett adds: II never saw negroes in more
"perfect health than we're these before NOV.
Ing into that infected house they had no here.
"itary taint at all" Our negro population is
"being rapidly thinned out by this dreadful
"disease, and the sooner the people are taught
that consumption Is contagious the better II
will De LOT all Ol US.
The moral which the bulletin points from
this concrete example Of the infectiousness ol
the disease Is the simple but pertinent one
"thst: "No one should ever occupy a house.
"or sleep in a room, In which there has been
"a case OF consumption until 1t has been
Thoroughly isinfected"
When II Is considered that this Is seldom II
ever done in our cities and towns, in the case
of houses or rooms in which colored victim
of the disease has died. and Is never done In
country districts in such case, II is not sur.
prising that the disease is committing such
rsvages among the colored people both In
town and country. It is not more In nfections
in North Carolina than in South Carolina
The lesson Is plain that all local sanitary
authorities, attending physicians and humane
employers and landlords who desire to aid in
arrestipg the deadly ravages Of the disease
among colored people subject to their care or
supervision, will see TO 1t that the
emphatic recommendation OF the
North Carolina Board Is carried out
in every case that comes under their atten
ton. Intelligent colored men will a. lso great
ly aid in the same cause by warning their
people generally to-avoid all infected houses
and rooms. as places Of residence as they
would pest house, until they have been
thoroughly" dlsinfected and pronounced safe
by some competent authority.
