THE CONSTITUTION.

Az. tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waived on high.
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky.
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale.
Seventy-five years ago young man
lust out of college heard that the Sec
rotary of the navy had recommended
that the American frigate Constitution
be broken up. The young man wrote
a poem which he called "Old Iron
sides" 1t was published in Boston
newspaper and it set the country on
FIRE. The verses quoted are taken
from the poem. The author was later
to become the best loved poet America
has ever known the dear old Auto
crat," Oliver Wendell Holmes. And
he saved the Constitution.
! Secretary of the Navy Boneparte, n
his first annual report has recon-
mended that the Constitution be used
as target. Must another Holmes
arise to save her? We hardly think
so. The republication of DR.. Holme s'
"Old Ironsides" will do the work to-
day as it did the work three quarters
of a century ago. Our foreign neigh
bors like to call us a nation of shop
keepers they like to say that in our
pursuit of the dollar we have lost
sight of all sentiment, but the people
of the United States will never per-
NIT the Constitution to be used as a
target. We would consider it hardly
less sacriligeous than the rifiing OF
the tomb of great hero of the revold
ton.
Boston, where the constitution was
built, more than one hundred years
ago, is reported to be deeply griey
ing over Mr.. Boneparte's suggestion
And Boston would not be alone in he

PRIMITIVE HOOSIER CABINS.
Dwellings Constructed by the Earii-
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-
spectacle men and women are living to-
day who were born, reared and married in
such humble cabins. And there are mil
Eons 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
Q 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 20 Of them IA feet long; slope the
ends off half and notch the other half to
dt; 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.
1t being now ready for covering, cut
poles 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 16 feet
long, or the length Of the house, notch
them down on the gables about 81 feet
apart. Cut down a large oak tree, square
the butt and saw cuts four feet long, split
them in blocks about six inches square,
take a frow and rive boards half an inch
thick, lay them l~engthwise on the afore-
said poles or ~rafters, breaking joints;
weight them down with small poles. You
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 a tree-general-
ly linn or some soft wood-saw logs about
six or eight feet long; split into slabs
about three inches thick; how smooth.
With these make the floor. The door is
made of boards the same as the roof, only
longer. The fastening is a wooden latch
with q string hanging on the outside.
Ore window, Il 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 fireplace
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, dampcn and with a
small maui beat down and form the
hearth, jambs and back wall. Generally
the jambs and back wall are about a foot
thick. Now split sticks the proper length
for the size of the chimney-the sticks
about an inch thick and IN wide. Make
q mortar of the yellow clay and build your
chimney to the desired height. This makes
q comfortable dwelling without nails,
glass or paint. Move in and have q hoe
down. Linton Call. O.

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
When he brought out "Sappho," an Amer
loan publishing house that issues religious
books, not knowing It's character, offered
NJ. Daudet a large sum for advance sheets
Of the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not Issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, "'Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He
consulted with numbers Of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho" in French
is spelled with one "p''-"Sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English It Is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he oabled back
to the publishers, "Spell 1t with two p's."
It Is needless to state that the publishers
we're more astonished at Daudet's reply
than he had been at their cable dispatch.

BIack,s Method of Writing.

1t is said of the late William Black that
his literary method was q slow and pain
full one. He thought about a proposed
book for months before he put pen to pa
per. He conjured up the chief Incidents
and characters and lived with his person
nges, 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-
tons 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 a character or an incident with
all the circumstances of the time" he
said, lone gets only a blurred page. For
example, one may say, 1T was a beautiful
day. But what kind of q beautiful day'
1t must be described so that the picture
shall be beautiful and finished. Every hui
man being in real life has a background,
and must have in a novel If the story Is to
appear real to the reader"

his SECOND ASSIGNMENT.
A Leaf Out of a Newspaper Reporters
Early Experience.

Early Experience.
"My first assignment" said an old 70.
porter, swas to find out whether some
body was in town, or something OF thaf
sort. ! know there was nothing to be
written about it. I got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
| all 1 had to do that day. For the rest OF
| the day I sat around the Office and looked
| on with an %infatuation that has never de.
creased. The next day I got my second
| assignment. In this there was something
to write about.
"The city editor handed me a narrow
little strip of white tissue paper cut from a
sheet of ship news and containing, in two
lines of writing, information that W la
| borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, com
ing up the bay in tow of the tug So-and'
so. What / was to do was to get the facts
| about the occurrence and write them.
"The city editor said that if I would
| End the consignees of the barge or the
owner Of the tug I would get on the trace
| of the story. The names of the consignees
were in the two lines Of ship news, and
simply by looking in the directory l found
! their office without the slightest trouble.
| There I learned where the cargo was tied
| up. It was at q wharf in Hoboken OF
| Weehawken, I don't remember which, and
+ made for that. When I turned from the
! street down the wharf, there she was, tied
up alongside, her name On the wheelhouse.
| She was about half unloaded, and men
we're still at work carrying off the ore.
II was not altogether without expert
ence in life, but I had never done anything
that gave me quite the satisfaction that 1t
| did to find that ore barge in my first &C
tual experience as a reporter. The captain
was aboard, and so were the surviving
members of the little party of laborers
who had started up the bay in her, and SO
| the whole story was right there. 1 sat on
| the stringpiece Of the wharf and talked
| with the captain Of the boat. He told the
story with entire willingness. OF course
| there was no reason why he shouldn't, and
then I went back to the office and wrote
1t up. 1t was not q great story. l knew
| that. 1t was like thousands of stories that
| the newspapers are sending after all the
| time, Of the manifold daily occurrence OF
life, but I must put it together in good
shape, get in all the facts and put the
story in the smallest space.
"In the morning I went out and got a
paper before breakfast. I wanted to read
my story of the loss of the men from the
ore barge. I looked the paper over, and,
my gracious, I couldn't find it all! ]
thought they must have left it out alto
gether, but when I came to look the paper
over again I found it-a scant stickful,
with a single line head.
"But when I came to read 1t over !
found that the facts were all there. They
had simply been brought closer together
by q method Of condensation far more acute
than mine and had then been set in agate
type. New York Sun.

Importance of Regular Living.

A question has lately arisen as to the In
crease or the reverse in nervous diseases,
some arguing that the cause of the sup
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
In the increased demand made by the con-
ditions of modern life upon the brain. 1t
is quite true that the conditions of life are
very different nowadays from What they
were a few years ago. We now live in a high
pressure age, and in mi Of Keen compcti-
tion, when greater effort is needed in every
branch of life to attain q successful posi-
ton, when the brain Is always working
and there Is constant tension. Such con-
ditions, it will be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to a diminution OF nerv-
GUS diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the same time, it cannot be denied that
the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men Of
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption OF
hygienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount of friction and waste.
It preserves vitality. Regularity econo-
mixes not only physical stamina, but time
az we'll. The man who knows no system
In the details Of his life, who exhausts ma
ture at the instance of a passing within,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, is
the n who must sooner or later fall a VIC
tim to disease. Regularity and modera.
ton in all things should be the motto OF
life, and it should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment of variety. A certain amount
of variety prevents man from becoming a
mere machine, but variety should not in
terfere with those regular habits of life
which are necessary to the maintenance OF
health.-New York Ledger.

Nerve? Well, RatherI

A woman shoplifter was caught stealing
an umbrella n day in a~Philadelphia dry
goods store. But it was decided not to
prosecute her If she would pay for the UNI
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 UNI
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
80 cents. AS a tribute to her monumental
nerve the so cents was handed her In ST.
lence.-New York Tribune.

Japanese

Japanese journalism" says q mission.
ary's wife, sis a singular profession In
many Of it's features. There is practically
no such thing as freedom Of the press in
Japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government
it is suppressed and the editor is sent to
prison. The real editor is never impris'
oned, though. Every newspaper has what
the japanese call a dummy editor, and IL
is his sole duty to go to jail every time the
paper Is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor changes the
name of the paper and keeps on publishing
it. Dummy editors spend most Of their
time in prison"
