NoRsK MADE HIM HoARsE.

"The fling I hear on Minnesota's S Scandinavians, said Representative Adam Bede tonight, since the debate on New Mexico's Greaser population, make me perspire occasionally Our foreign element furnishes the best citi- zens we have. They become American rapidly. A large percentage rapidly. A large percentage of the schoolma ans in Minnesota are bright well-taught Scandinavian girls,
 "But I think of an awful experience I had some years ago with a Scandi navian audience up in the pine woods On the bill with me was a Norwegian who was advertised to speak in Norsk. He did not show up.
 Can you speak Norwegian still?' asked the committeeman of me.
 T saw he thought I was a Norweg ian I lied and said that l could. When we got to the hall, what did the fellow do but make a speech saying that the Norwegian speaker could not come, but they need not be disappoint- ed, because Mir Bede, a native Nor wegian, would take his place. The crowd was 200 or 300 big hearty, blue eyed chaps of the Ole and Nels class, and when I skipped to the front of the platform 1 would have given 35 to any one of them to come forward and eat me alive. But l put in practice the only idea I could muster to escape.
 "'How many of you cannot under stand English? I asked the first thing As many as cannot hold up your hands,
 "They were asahmed to admit that they did not understand the language of their adopted land and not a hand came up.
 "'All right, my friends, said, I am delighted to see that you all talk the glorious tongue of our fathers, the language in which the Declaration of is written, and, as 1t makes me hoarse to talk Norwegian for any great length of time, will go on in English, which now I know you will just as we'll,
 " Then I let out for three hours with the liveliest mix-up of fun and tariff l could put up. But l never think of that committeeman and those blue eyed fair-haired Scandinavians without cold lifting my flannels an inch from my hide. New York Times, Wash Ington Special

ceived from other places it was esti- mated that 2,00O persons lost their lives.
 "Tumaco is separated from the main land by a small camel, which before the earthquake was only deep enough for canies or dugouts. After the earthquak a small steamer passed through the canal. The fish in the waters were killed by thousands and washed in by the tide. A small schooner that put in a few days after the big shock also reported that fish were killed out at sea.
 Down in the harbor of Esmeraldas there is an old volcano, and it was thought that this had started up again.
 That, however, is only theory. Capt. Rogers of the steamer Manavi anc Capt. Hawlight of the steamer Qult,, which run down the coast, were in- structed to keep well out to sea on their trips, and in entering harbors were very careful, particularly at Es- meraldas and Buenaventura. They reported that they took sounding in the harbor of Esmeraldas and found it had been very much changed.
 '"The cable was broken at Emeral- das in ten places, and 1t was also brok- en between Buenaventura and Panama. The operator was sending a message a message to Panama from Buenaventura when the first shock was felt, and he asked the Panama man, Did you feel tlat?"
 Feel what? was the reply.
 He explained that there was an earthquake, but the Panama man had not felt it. Then suddenly communi- cation with Panama was broken, and when he tried to reach other points to the south he found more breaks. It was February 2S before the cables had been repaired.--NeW York Sun.

VERISIMILITUDE AND VITALITY
 IN FICTION.

The novel proper is composition
 in character, and its legitimate field
 is the illustration of human life. The
 novellst's ideal may be to create ac- tual beings, of unmistakable, inde- structible Individuality; who act and feel according to the law of their own natures, whose experience may be tested by the most unversal phiIoso- phy. In other words his dramatis personae must be persons and not types, his method must be portraiture and not photography, his circumstances must be subsidiary and not dominant.
 Fiction is one of many mediums for story, like the Humanity it represents, consists of two elements which are equally essential to it's verisimilitude and it's vitality--the one spiritual and permanent, the other material and ac- Those who arrow their cos- tunes or events to- form their whole subject-matter produce only the study in local color, freak of the artistic imagination.
 Now the writers of the Kailyard School offend most grievously against this established canon. They are the slaves Of dialect. Their accuracy is unimpeachable characters are not built upon intonation, and the pas sions outlive short pipes. One has only tosrecall the glorious gallery of men and women fresh in the memory from Scott's pages, and the creations of the laborious scene-painters will vanish away into thin air. Our shelves are filled indeed with ingenious phono- of idiom and manners beyond the Tweed; but what do we know, at least from such a source, of or Lowlander-his inheri- tance from history, his grasp Of life? They have given us no romance to stir the blood, no angel visitant to the land of memory.-R. Brimley Johnson in the March Critic.

LIFE OR DEATH

The proposition to kill the defective and the unfortunate, is as old as the records of the earth. The ancients were not muctq disturbed by reason of the hopelessly deformed or idiotic chill dren They simply put them to death or left them exposed where the end came quickly Any child which did not seem healthy and strong had no chance. It was considered a public duty for the welfare of the state, which escaped the financial problem that confronts the modern state which has to provide the increasing expenditure needed yearly to keep up the many institutions for the care of it's unfortunate and defec- tive citizens. When the first of these charitable organizations was formed many years ago, 1t was counted a marked step forward in the direction of a. wider humanity. But the defeetives then were relatively few In number, be- cause marriages were more closely supervised, and more care was taken to prevent the union of defectives, whose children might find homes at the ex- pense of the public purse.
 The ethical questions involved in the general subject are so numerous and SO complex that 1t is unlikely that there will ever be a consensus of opin- lions. One element will always be the place and power of suffering in the economy of the universe. The constant presence of the unfortunate and the limited may be necessary to keep the fortunate and the free fairly contented with their condition. Suffering may be essential for the developement and the fostering of certain qualities of mmind and heart without which the world would be dreary and harsh. The cita- tion of many examples of the reflex in- fiuence of suffering upon the lives of friends of the crippled, the deformed, and the lneurable will always prove powerful arguments against a general law looking to the legall7ing of the kill ing of such unfortunates.-Chicago Tribune.

OLD CITIES WE'RE NOISY.

Modern cities are not as noisy as those of other days. For example, in London in the time of King George II the streets were still cobbled and the pack horses of Elizabethan memory had been replaced by heavy carts and wagons. Barrels of beer and heavy cases were dragged about on drays of iron without wheels and to add to the tumult heavy signs in immense frames of ironwork hung out in front of shops and houses, and creaked interminably Street cries never ceased for a moment all day. All the smaller necessaries such as pins, thread. string, ink, straps, fish, milk, cakes, bread drugs herbs matches, were hawked in the streets,- Kansas City Journal

American Girls Who Fall Easily Into
 Wrapper Habit. Pension life abroad gets one into lazy habits An American girl at our hotel in London, who had been across more than once, took great pleasure in in- structing those who were just starting on their travels, writes H. c. in the Argonant You will, of course, al ways breakfast In your room" she said. 1t cost no more, and is far more com fortable"
 T shall not" said one of her hearers. T never ate my breakfast in my room in my life unless I wass Ill in bed, and l shall not begin now
 "Oh, you will come to it." insisted the traveled young lady, You will take it., unWashed and uncombed, like all the rest of us.'
 I found that she was wrong about it's never costing more. But it was true that the ladies took their morning cof- fee in disheveled state. used to see ,Eem fitting about the balls after their breakfast In various stages of disarray. One lady who, even in Paris, where the curling-iron is as much an accessory of the toilet as toothbrush, had her hair done up in curl pjapaers and crimp pins, was in evidence several times at a very late hour of the morn ing lodging about.

"Tell me- I said to San Francisco lady who was stopping at one af the hotels, have you acquir- ed this habit? Does the waiter bring your breakfast before you have made your toilet?"
 "Oh, l have it down to fine uoint," she said, "I ring about 10 min utes before my toilet is finished, so when he comes am bathed and comb ed and dressed enough to be present. able. l would not care if the maid brought my coffee, but l cannot stand having that dignitled German waiter come in while l am in the middle of dressing"
 A young Russian at our pension in Paris expressed his horror to me He was just learning English. q sink eet ess yer shocking ne said, "all ze ladies have breakfast in zare rooms. Why do gay not come to the salle manger?"

Zen why not come downstairs?" he asked very pertinently.
