said, visitor has to walk backwards
if he wishes TO get out all right Along
with his work as editor of a magazine,
Mr.. Alden has never given up the de-
lights Of writing, and in a current num-
Der Of one OF the leading magazines he
gives considerable advice 10 young
writer's.
In any great story" he writes, The
creative work is not only done first,
but il is done without observation -
il is a part Of that emotional and men
tai culture of which we have spoken
and which in the soul Of an artist be-
comes a storage that like the light
ning-burdened cloud, must have pre-
cipitate release. This image is too Vio-
lent. perhaps, to indicate the express
sion OF the artists mood, which, what
ever its tension, has a more stable tenn
permanent and more gradual release
than have the elemental forces Of ma
ture; but the operation is, like that Of
these forces, spontaneous and lneVita-
bic.
There Is no mental storage save OF
power; the writer's culture Is growth
Of his power. the exercise of which Is
as natural as the flowing Of the tOun-
tain which becomes the stream. IL is a
part Of his life, with the creative quail
ity Of life, tireless In action az are
respiration and pulsation; there is no
burden, since in this, as in the physical
world, weight is but another name for
an attraction. The burden Of the
artists work is in the inertia Of his
material. which through industry and
discipline is translated into force-an
unveiled force in the material itself,
and, through reaction, a structural
strength in the artist himself, manifest
in his firm workmanship. until finally
difficulty becomes facility"

King Victor Emanuel has pardOned
the American naval officers who took
part in a disgraceful brawI in Venice.
The kings clemency should have no
bearing on the subsequent treatment
Of those officers. For the honor Of the
navy they must be courtmartialed, and
if the facts are as stated in the original
dispatches, they should be expelled in
disgrace from the service they have
dishonored. That would be the result
if they were plain tackles" and the
fact that they have commissions raises
the degree Of their offense rather than
mitigates it.

Brain Weights,

The average weight of "A Scotchman's
brain Is sixty. ounces, an Englishman's
forty-nine n Frenchman's little over
forty-tive. The weight of Dutch, Fris-
an, Italian and Lapp brains come near
that of the Englishman, while the Ger
man brain is in many instances heav-
Ter. The Polish brain is fo-ty-seyen
ounces. Among Hindoo and other races
in India it is from fortyone to forty
four ounces, but Mussulmans average
more and the Khonds, one of the abo-
rignal races of India, much less-not
quite thirty-eight ounces. Travelling
toward China. the brain weight of the
tribes there settled increases. In Afri-
ca the average weight is from forty
three to forty-eight ounces: III America
that of the Indian averages forty-seven
ounces; in Australia from forty to for
ty-two ounces.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Palms and ferns should never be al-
lowed to stand in draft.
When moss is seen on fruit trees, it
may be taken as evidence of lack Of
thrift In the trees.
The ideal soil in which to set plant
is one that Is moist, without being wa
ter soaked, neither too dry nor too wet.
Dust IS great enemy of window
plants in connection with dry heat.
Care must be taken to keep the air
moist
In India the tea plant is naturally a
tree, but by means of pruning it IS kept
so small that it seems to be only a
bush.
For setting in a dry soil the plant
should he well rooted and stocky, as it
must depend on the roots it already
has to make start.
Vines Of all kinds flower and fruit
freely only after they have reached the
top of their support When they have
arrived" they set about blooming,
Peonies should be planted in October.
Once planted they should not be dis
turbed. but should be allowed TO form
strong cumps. Thus treated the flow

Senators Burrows, Perkins and Ma

One story was about Col w. {. Saund-

who has represented his state in the
Senate.
The Colonel was attending court In
an adjoining county. During trial
he made some remA rk to the court that
gave offense to ,ne judge and he was
fined $50 for contempt of court. A
short time later the judge wanted to

wanted Col. Saunders to preside. No
sooner had Col. Saunders taken his
seat on the bench than he called to
the clerk:
MIR. Clerk, you will find on the re-
cord that one Wilbur F. Saunders was
fined $50 for contempt OF court. Just
note on the record thai his fine was
remitted."

Origin of Word GrInEO.

The word ''gringo." which Mexicans
apply to Americans when speaking Of
them with contempt, is said to have
had its origin thus; During the MeXi-
can war our soldiers got into the hab-
it of calling the simple Mexican sol
diers whom they took prisoners green
les" to signify their ignorance of
things in general and of military tac-
tics especially. The Mexicans retaliat-
ed by calling the Americans "greenos."
and this word finally degenerated into
'gringos."

Canarles. like human beings. vary
very much in character, some cocks be-
ing so Indifferent and idle that they
will let the hen do all the work of

Others, again. are perfect gentlemen in

HOWTHE CHINESE 1tI RAIN
Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.

Celestial Kingdom.
1t is one of the peculiarities of tho
Chinese that, while they have develop
ed elaborate PHILOSOPHERS, none of them
has led to any confidence In the uni
formlty of nature. Neither the people
nor their rulers have any fixed opinion
as to the causes of rainfall. The plan
in some provinces when the necd OF
rain Is felt Is to borrow god from Il
neighboring district and petition him
for the desired rain. Ii his answer Is
satisfactory, he Is returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out in the sun as hint
10 wake up ana do his duty. A bunch
Of willow is usually thrust into his
hand, as willow Is sensitive to mois-
iure.
Another plan in extensive use is the
building Of special temples In which
are wells containing several iron tab
lets. When there is scarcity of rain.

throwing in his own by way of eX-
change. On the return journey he is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly in need of rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet get the rain intended for anoih-
er place.
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
nnd sixth months when the rainfall $
always due. and a limit OF ten days
Is set for their effective operation. Tn
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. Wien the
prayers are in progress the umbrella,
among Other objects. comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article ut that time.

nearly two hundred bushels, which has
brought him $55.In the historical. or
rather pre-historical, value of the grain
is the main interests of the Farley
crop. and the fact that it has grown
from seed which was left here by the
earliest inhabitants of America, has
given it worth which can not be eSti-
