Written on a Slate.

General Lew Wallace wrote the first
rough draft of "Ben-IIur" on a slate,
giving as his reason that erasures could
more readily be made. After satisfy
ing himself with a sentence written in
this way he would, with soft pencil,
transfer the writing to paper, and final.
ly, when everything pleased him, he
copied the entire manuscript in ink
with the precision of an engrossing
clerk. II is declared by those who were
personally acquainted with General
Wallace that .Ben-Hur" was written
and rewritten ut least thirty times, and
that when the final copy was sent to
the publishers there was neither cor
rection nor an erasurc throughout the
manuscript. The printer set up the
copy exactly as 1t was written, and the
author himself never corrected proof
before the book was sent to press.

"Why not?" asked the astonisheti

Because they are responsible for

clothes for weeks without pressing be-
cause he says 1t Is too much trouble to
change the things in his pockets TO an

who so around in seedy clothes do SO

something supernatural about the elder
tree. In Denmark it is protected by
the elder mother, without whose leave
it is dangerous to pluck the flower. In

variously considered the tree of the

Pruning Tomatoes.

Men and women who grow few
fine tomatoes in their own gardens for
their own use have long practiced
more or less pruning Of the vines.
Pruning is also practlced systematIcal-
ly when tomatoes are grown in hot
houses. AS Il rule, the field culture of
tomatoes is not sufficiently remunera-
tive to make pruning profitable. Pro
fessor Munson found that pruning the
plants after part Of the fruit had set
increased the yield more than third.
This was under conditions of field cul-
ture. 1t is possible that where the
market is good an increase of one third

Certain lizards are remarkable for
the fragility of their tails, although
this weakness is not always the draw
back that may be imagined. The dia-
mond tailed gecko, for instance, fire.
quently owes its existence to the readi-
ness with which its caudal appendage
can be snapped off. This reptile, which
will perch upon rock head downward
and tail i'll the air, is liable to be prey
cd upon by hawks. One of these for
midable birds will swoop down upon
Il lizard and seize what it takes to be
the head. but is really the tail. The
brittle tail snaps off, and the gecko
wrigsles away, not much the worse, to
grow another.
