long and one inch broad.
one of the sailors had tanned him
and built for him n cage with little

True LIternture.

We are inclined on the whole to be.
lieve that the stimulus to literary pro-
duction exists within and not without
the man. 1t Is not external circum-
stances, poverty or riches, sickness or
health, greatness or humbleness, that
determine the productions or output of
genius. 1t is the characteristics of the
man that determine not what he shall
learn or what he shall think, but what
he shall do. A stimulus from without,
such as poverty, may start production.
of course, but that is merely the phys
ical awakening of disposition that in
any circumstances would have been
awakened in some way at some time.
True literature Is the voice of the soul
calling from the windows of the house
of clay in response to those things Of
life that touch the nature of the soul
that speaks.-London Spectator.

Lord spenccr's Bargnin.

Lord Spencer of Althorp. one of the
greatest of book collectors, was at
home only in his own field. One day
in browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop of n dealer
In bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight, said persuasively:
Here is n fine bit of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have, and
you shall have 1t very cheap-only 2
guineas."
SO Lord Spencer bought 1t and took
1t home and set 1t In high place. One
day n connoisseur of china paid him
a visit, and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.
"what did you give for itY' asked
the connoisseur.
"Two guineas," answered Spencer
rather proudly.
"H'mr' said the connoisseur. "At
that price the marmalade should have
been included"
"What do you mean"
"why, that precious piece Of yours is
nothing more nor less than n shilling
marmalade pot with green thistle
painted on It."

If the liver is sluggish, refusing to
work, so that the bile flow is deficient
and SO all fats remain undlgested, the
eating of either apples or an abun-
dance of currants will effect n mag
ical change. The jaded organ will
be stimulated; all the digestive juices
net; the food is all absorbed, and soon
the appetite cries for more. Therefore
the apple and the currant have been
called appetizers because they are the
means of bringing appetite to those In
search of it. The apple being in sea-
son longest has the usual claim to
favor as an appetizer, but the currant
is almost as deserving of the claim.
But 1t has more waste In the shape Of
fiber and skin than is found in the
apple, the proportion in the currant
being over Az per cent. while in the
apple 1t is only 10 per cent.
