Modern Novels Short Lived.

A writer in a London paper COM
menting upon the great influx of mod
ern novels on the market at the pres
ent day states that it serves to shorten
the lives of even the best Of recently
written novels and reduces the writer
to mere automaton gringing out SEN
timent and sensationalism at so much
per line. 1t will sadden many young
authors to learn that the average life
of the average novel is steadily de-
clining. A few years ago 1t struggled
on for twelve months; then it dwin-
died to nine. Now it ages at three
months, and perishes of senile decay at
six. And yet the unconscionable pub
lie growls at an unfortunate author If
he produces more than one book in a
year. The other day a well-known
lightning artist" in fiction was accus-
ed Of having published nine books last
year, and he retorted, more in sorrow
than in anger, that "it was only five"
If this sort Of thing goes on a limit
will have to be placed on the output Of
books. The whole tendency of modern
life is to minimize the individual. "The
Authors Cooperative Store, Limited"
is much nearer reality than people i'm,
agine.

Uncle Sam is not only building big,
new mint in Philadelphia, but he is
making it the finest in the world. He
is also bringing it wholly up to date;
for electricity, and electricity only,
will be the power which makes the
thousands of wheels go round. Elec-
tricity is the password for every appli-
ance that knocks for entrance here,
and nothing that will not lend itself
to the energy Of the dynamo can find
a resting place. The building is gi-
gantic bunch of electric nerves, and the
floors of the many rooms are tatooed
with little brass plates, which mark
the spots where these vibrating nerves
may be tapped to secure the power
used in driving the machinery. Every
machine in the place will have its own
motor attached, thereby rendering its
use independent of any other part Of
the system, making 1t possible to op-
crate the smanest device, both night
and day, without moving any other
part of the system.

VEGETABLES AS MEDICINE.
Asparagus Used as Il Remedy by Rheu-
matte Persons,

Few people know the medicinal
value of vegetables. Asparagus, for
instance, forms part of the cure for
rheumatic patients at such health re-
sorts as Aix-les-Bains. Sorrel is cool
ing to the mind as well as to the blood
and forms the staple of that soup aux
herbes," which French lady will Or
der for herself after long and firing
journey. Carrots, as they contain a
quantity of sugar, are fattening, and
are avoided by some people as indi
gestible. 1t is the yellow core OF the
for the outer red layer is tender
enough. In many parts of France the
peasants have recourse to an infusion
of carrots as a specific for jaundice
The large sweet onion is very rich in
those alkaline elements which counter
act the poison of rheumatic gout. If
slowly stewed in weak broth and eaten
with little cayenne pepper, it is said
to be an admirable article of diet for
people Of studious and sedentary hab-
its. The stalks of caulif1ower have a
similar value, only too often they are
SO ill-boiled and unpalatable that they
are not inviting. But when well cook
ed and served with proper dressing,
there is nothing more enticing. Let
tuce has slight narcotic action, and
for soothing the nerves there is no
stalk which grows that equals celery.
