Hearn as a Creative Artist.

Hearn's creative faculty began where
creation is commonly held to end, with
the material given. OF the creative
gift in the sense in which the phrase
is applied to the poet he had not par
ticle. He was not maker, but a
shaper. DR.. Gould puts the matter
bluntly when he says, "He had no
original thing to say, for he was en-
tirely without creative power and had
always to borrow theme and plot"
And again. Clearly and patiently 1t
was mind without creative ability,
spring or the desire for it. 1t was a
mind improcreant by inheritance and
by education, by necessity and by
training. by poverty internal and ex-
ternal." The truth in these words be-
comes evident when one recalls the
failure as fiction of every one of
Hearn's attempts in this field and the
fact that his greatest successes were
won in reclothing the ideas of other
men.-Forum.

Color.

OF the light rays that fall upon an
object some are taken up by the object
and others are reflected. 1t is to the
reflected rays that we are to turn for
the explanation of color. For instance,
a sheet of white paper is white" be-
cause all the seven kinds of light are
reflected from its surface, while the
sunfiower is yellow" because when
light falls on it the violet indigo, blue
and green rays are selected for abb
sorption, and yellow principally is re-
flected. The reflective rays, received
by. the eye, produce the sensation Of
color. This is an explanation of near
iy all the colors that exist.

HUNTING WILD HORSES.
How Brumbies In New South Wales
Are Trapped and Broken.

Hunting 'brumbies" as the wild
horses are called there, is .favorite
sport in New South Wales. Districts
like the Clarence and Stephens and
Manning river watershed are still the
home of numerous droves of brum-
bies, and hunting them is declared to
be very exhiarating pastime. The
first step taken is to stake out corral
and make all secure except a narrow
entrance, which can subsequently be
gated On either side Of the entrance
and projecting from it funnelwise a
"booby fence" is Mepared.
To the simple minded brumby 1t
pieces of fluttering cotton make it look
impregnable. When this is ready, the
young bloods, well mounted. gallop
out and round up the wild horses,
driving them with shouts and much
loud swapping of stock whips toward
the mouth of the funnel
In a group of brumbies there is al
ways a leader, and when once the
hunters have got the leader heading
for the corral they are pretty certain
of the rest of the drove. The fiutter-
ing cotton rags of the sham fence are
sufficient to deter the brumbies from
breaking through the flimsy barriers.
and in less time than it takes to tell
the wild horses are safely corralled
and the big gate shut on them.
Then they are left for four and
twenty hours without food and water
to reflect on the situation, and after
that they can be broken in without
much difficulty.-London Standard.

DUTCH STREET CARS
The Conductor Carries More Docu-
ments Than Congressman.

The Conductor Carries More Docu-
ments Than Congressman.
Countries may be known by their
street cars. The rush and jar Of our
big cities are exemplified in the rapid,
rude transit of its inhabitants. So the
character of orderly little Holland may
be gathered from observation Of her
car service. Says ]. U, Higinbotham
in "Three Weeks in Holland and Bel
gium:''
Street car fare in Holland is 3 cents
a trip. and for 4 cents you receive a
return ticket The conductor carries
more documents than congressman.
For every fare he opens an aluminium
box about by 6 and hands out re-
ceipt or a return ticket. as the case
may be.
When the passengers pay their tick
cts he places the tickets in a leather
pouch hung by strap round his neck
1t is important that you retain the re-
ceipt given you, for at uncertain in
tervals "controlleur'' gets on the
car and examines all receipts, puts his
o. X. on them with rubber stamp
and compares the result with the man,
ifest or log carried by the conductor.
1t is quite the correct thing to tip the
conductor with Dutch cent or two.
Each car has card inside stating
how many places there are. and on
each platform is another saying how
many people may stand thereon.
When the seats and both platforms are
full the sign "VoP' is put up and no
more are permitted to get aboard
Our car probably had thirty people in
1t and on the platforms and was turn
ing business away at every crossing

OCEAN LINERS CARGO.

the teams clattered in and the tugs
puffed up with the barges. and from
hundreds of miles away the trains
were rushing hither, bringing more
boxes and barrels and bags to be
packed in at the last moment.
In gangs at every hatchway the 400
men were trundling. heaving, strain
ing, rough crowd, cursng and joking
at the hoarse shouts of the foremen,
while from the darkness outside heavy
black rope nets dropped down to gath
er gigantic handfuls of cargo, swing
them back up to the deck of the ship
and then down into her hold. So all
through the night and right up TO the
hour of sailing the rush went on, for

month. And the ship must sail on

THE SECURING RUSH.
A Queer Plant That Can Be Changed
Into a Mineral.

The securing rush. Equisetum hie-
male, is an interesting plant which has
been put to practical use. In old times
its hollow. fiinty stems were in great
repute for kitchen cleaning purposes.
The Stems are hollow and are easily
separated at the joints. If one would
satisfy himself as to the peculiar prop
erty that first suggested the use of this
rush for securing purposes he has only
to draw joint across the edge of his
teeth to find 1t like file
A very pretty chemical experiment
is frequently made with the rush. If
one takes a small vial of nitric acid
into which any ordinary lead Is i'm
mersed he will quickly see 1t dissolve,
literally eaten up by the acid. But
what does the securing rush do under
such circumstances?
Immediately upon its Introduction
to the acid the sizzling process begins.
The green pulp of the stem is grad
ually consumed. the tube, however,
still retaining its shape, becoming paler
and paler In color until after few
hours the specimen is transformed into
pure white alabaster-like column
which defies any further attack from
the acid.
On taking it from the vial and wash
ing it carefully in running water the
operator holds in his hands a beauti-
full tube of pure, CLASSY flint or silex,
an object of great microscopic beauty
of construction. The securing rush is
no longer vegetable, but a mineral,
and in observing its skeleton of stone
the secret of its utility as securing
brush Is easily understood. York

A quaint custom in an English town,
Honiton, is ''proclaiming the fair" The
town obtained the grant of fair from
the lord of the manor so long ago as
1857, and the fair still retains some of
the picturesque characteristics of by.
gone days. The town crier, dressed In
picturesque uniform and carrying a
pole decorated with gay flowers and
surmounted by large gilt model of a
gloved hand. publicly announces the
opening of the fair, as follows: "Oyezl
Oyez! Oyez! The fairs begun, the
glove Is up. No man can be arrested
till the glove is taken down." Hot
coins are then thrown among the chill
dren. The pole and glove remains dis
played until the end of the fair.

Water hemlock is deadly plant
common in most country neighbor-

and death frequently results. Cattle
are often poisoned by drinking water
in marshes where 1t grows. The poison
hemlock from which the Greeks made
poisons is a near relative to the water

AN EPISODE OF WAR.
The Only Coward Evans Ever Saw In

After Admiral Evans had been so
grievously wounded in the attack OH
Fort Fisher during the civil war he
was picked up by n marine named
wasmouth and carried into compara-
tive shelter. Wasmouth was killed a
few minutes later. Evans own ac-
count continues: After Wasmoutl
was killed soon fell asleep. and when
/ awoke 1t was some time before /
could recall my surroundings. The
tide had come in, and the hole in
which l was lying was nearly full of
water, which had about covered me

enough that should soon be drowned

to get out somehow Dead and wound

piles, but no one TO lend me helping

my legs in any way, and when l dug
my hands into the sides of my prison
and tried to pull myself out the sand

water. Finally ! made a strong effort
and rolled myself sideways out of the
hole.

ately at the fort. | called to him to
pull me in behind his bar Of sand. but
he declined on the ground that the fire
was too sharp for him to expose him

volver to change his mind, and in two

gin, for when he fired the Confederate
bullets would snip the sand within

revolver, thinking II might be useful

When ! was jerked in behind this
pile of sand landed across the body
of the only coward ever saw in the
naval service. At first was not con-
scious that there was man under me,
so completely had he worked himself
into the sand. He was actually below
the surface of the ground. The moni-
tors were firing over us, and as a shell
came roaring by he pulled his knees up
to his chin, which hurt me, as it jostled
my broken legs. | said: Hello! Are
you wounded| No, SIR he replied; 4

/ said, keep quiet and don't hurt my
legs again The next shell that came
over he did the same thing and the
