THE AUTHORS POWER.
Yields Magic influence Over the
Mind Of the Average Reader
of Fiction.

Everybody knows that in a novel a
commonplace person may be made in
teresting by deliberate, patient ex-
position of his various traits, precise
ly as we can learn to like very uninter-
esting persons in real life if circum-
stances place them day after day at
our elbows, says Atlantic. Who of us
would not grow impatient with the
early chapters of The Newcomes, for
instance, Or The Antiquary, if it were
not for the fact that Thackeray and
Scott know their business, and that
every one of these commonplace peo-
pie will contribute something in the
end to the total effect? And even
where the gradual development of
character, rather than the mere por-
trayal of character, is the theme of
novelist, as so frequently with George
Eliot, how colorless may be the per-
sonality at the outset, how narrow the
range of thought and experience por-
trayed! Yet, in George Eliot's own
words: ''These commonplace people
have conscience, and have felt the
sublime promptings to do the painful
right" They take on dignity from
their moral struggle, whether the
struggle ends in victory or defeat. BY
an infinite number Of subtle touches
they are made to grow and change be
fore our eyes, like living, fascina ting
things.

Free Lecture Course Suggested.

AS an instructive means of promoting
Free Library schemes, lecture courses
are looked upon with much favor and
have deem I'D many cases successful. In
University and College town like ours
there is any amount of talent near at
hand to cover either a special or a diver
si6ed field. Besides the presidents and
professors Of our large educational in
situations, are the resident clergymen,
attorneys and teachers, cultured men,
whose range Of general and classical ed
ucatiOn fit them admirably for the lee
ture platform.
A series of lectures by home talent
once established, the course can be
easily varied by securing professional
lecturers from abroad as inclination
may suggest. Lectures by home talent
could not fail to draw paying houses and
would do double duty in aiding the es-
Enlistment of the library and slim
ulate taste for the useful and the sub
stantial among those to whom Free
Public Library would become the great
est blessing.
A long winter is before us and to
those who are not regular attendants
upon places of light amusement, lee
ture course would be the means of pas
sing the time proftably alike to listen
ers and to the promoters of the Public
Library.
The suggestion is made for what it is
worth in the hopes of awakening new
interest in the undertaking of founding
such a library as was contemplated by
the men who have the subject in charge.

BRICK AND OTHER MATERIAL FOR
SALE.
Inquire of Andrew Roegner at his
office or at the Dennis property.

We have just received from the pub
fishers copy of their new book contain
ing plans and specifications, with per-
spective and sectional views, for twenty
five houses of various sizes from two
rooms up. This handy, compact and
very useful volume contains, in addition
to the foregoing, valuable information
relative to building, such as the num-
Der of shingles required on roof,
amount of plaster for a house, quantity
Of materials required for building a
house, and many other facts of perma-
nent and practical value. Any one of
the plans is worth much more than .the
price asked for the whole book. It is
useful to every architect, builder, mason
and carpenter, and particularly do we
urge all who anticipate erecting a new
or remOdeling an old dwelling to send
for scOpy, as it's fortunate possessOr
may save hundreds of dollars by follow
ing the suggestions it contains. It
must prove of great value to any person
who is interested in securing new
home. With the assistance of this handy
little volume, an architects services
may be dispensed with, as any con-
tractor can erect building from the
plans and specifications it contains. A
copy of the book will be mailed postpaid.

WHEAT LANDS IN EUROPE.
Shown by Analysis, the Soil of ST.
IBERIA II Similar to That of
America

We are told that the south European
wheat lands constitute broad belt
of prairie, 600 to roo miles in average
width, beginning in Hungary and ex-
tending northeastward to the Ural
mountains, and then westward into
Siberia to unknown boundaries, says
the Export Implement Age. On the
north and the west are the ''gray for
est lands" and on the south and west
are salt and alkaline districts and
sandy wastes, and finally the Caucasus
and the Ural mountains. BY both
chemical and mechanical analyses the
soil is shown to be remarkably sim
liar to that of our own prairies, also
commonly known by the similar term
of "black loam." The depth is, on an
average, probably little greater than
tht Of our prairie soil. From a chem
ical standpoint the soils of the two
regions are similarly characterized o.
by an exceptionally large amount of
thoroughly humified organic matter;
(2) by the presence of an unusual pro-
portion of phosphoric acid, and 60 by
a great amount, comparatively, of
lime, potash and other alkalies. These
soils are therefore alkaline, while 9TH
ers, especially of forest regions, are
acid. It is well known that the sub
stances thus more abundant in these
soils than in others are just those
usually needed by the wheat plant.

Woman Plans Zoo.

A half-dOZen elk and buffalo, the
handsOmest creature, at Lincoln Park,
make up the first consignment of
animals to be sent to the country place
OF Mrs. P. Anderson Valentine at OcOno-
mowOc.. The animals will be shipped
from Chicago Monday and will find a
stamping groud in the thirty-acre park
which surrounds Mrs. Valentines sum-
mer residence.
1t is Mrs. Valentines plan to have one
of the finest private parks in this
country and one which shall be stocked
with wild animals. She has already
purchased herd of red deer and will
add some antelope and numerous small
animals, such as are native to WiscOn-
sin.
Mrs. Valentines country home, which
Phillip Armour, Jr., built for her good
many years ago and where the ArmOurs
used regularly to spend their summers
has been opened this year and put in
trim for occupancy. The scheme for
having an animal park is by no means
new, having been plan of Mr.. Armour's
which was never put into execution.
During her widOwhOod Mrs. Armour
did not visit the place, but since her
marriage to Mr.. Valentine, her husbands
business associate, she has opened the
place and plans to spend her summers
there in the future,

HORSE AND AUTOMOBILE.
The Anima al Made Acquaintance with
the Ma chine and Was Easily
Cured of His Fear.

There is some talk of school
wherein horses may be educated out
of their fear of automobiles; wheth-
er this would serve or not is another
question, but here is little instance
of what one sensible, considerate au-
tomobile driver did for the sake of
frightened horse, says the New
York Post.
The automobile had come to a
standstill in the roadway to permit
the passage of small and apparent
ly very young horse in trotting rig
attached to training sulky. The
motor had not been shut off, so the
machine kept chug-chug -chugging as
the horse approached. With snort
and leap the horse whirled to the
side of the road, nearly throwing out
the man in the sulky. Then the au-
tomobilist shut off the motor and
called to the driver: 'Wait mo-
ment until the animal quiets down;
then drive him up slowly while I
sit STILL
This the driver did, and when the
horse was within 10 or IL feet of the
machine his progress toward it hav-
ing been slow and fearful, the au-
tomobilist got out, took the horse
by the bride, and led him carefully
up to the car, patting the animal the
while and talking to it. snow, look
it over, smell it, see there's nothing
to hurt YOU"
For fully five minutes the horse
was permitted to inspect the ma
chine, and at last it seemed quite &C
customed to it After that the horse
was driven back and forth several
times without evincing the slightest
feat. The automobilist did lot start
his car until the horse was almost
out of sight.

DraGOn.FlV FARM

The breeding Of innumerable hosts
of dragon flies, or devils darning
needles, as they are called by country
boys in some parts of the United
States, in order that these insects
MAJ extirpate the mosquitoes, is now
advocated in certain quarters, says
the New York Tribune. Are we to-
have dragon fly stock farms, with an
nual sales of weanlings of the choic-
est pedigree? Alas, it is to be
feared that, no matter what we do,
we shall have the mosquitoes always
with us, like the poor. Nevertheless,
the swarms of these pests can I'M
doubtedly be lessened in numbers
and in the evil which they work.
