There is to be a new biography Of
John Calvin to be brought out in July,
during the celebration of the four hun
dredth anniversary Of his birth.
Mr.. Marion Crawford's new novel,
THE White Sister," is out. Mr.. Craw-
ford is one of the most Industrious of
men-his books appear with a regular
ity that is amazing to those authors
who write with less ease.
"Self Control and How to Secure IT.
Is the title Of new volume soon to be
Issued by the eminent DR.. Paul Du-
bois Of Bern, Switzerland, who has
written this book upon self control, or
rather the want Of it, as a fertile cause
Of many forms of nervous disorders.
The new book differs from those al
ready published in that it will be large
ly philosophical and direct discussion
Of what self-control may accomplish
and how 1t may be secured.
Such honor as a statue imparts is
to be bestowed upon the memory Of
Francis Bacon by a gentleman OF
Gray's Inn. What is pronounced by the
London Chronicle to be "a fearful and
wonderful figure In plaster, surmount-
ed by a hat Of the Mother Shipton
type, has already been placed in the
south square Of the inn for the consid-
Grafton Of members. This remarkable
hat reminds the commentator of the
chapeau of a statue of Wellington
which has not disappeared from its
London site. The memorable thing
about this hat was its arrangement
of metal plumes purposely made to
dutter IN the breeze.
Prof. Rudolph Eucken's book, 'OTbe
Problem of Human Life" as viewed bv
the great thinkers from Plato to the
present time, will be brought out soon
In his Introduction the author saws

MRS STOVES NOVEL,
EUncle Toms Cabin" Was InSDired
By Actual Occurrences.


by Actual Occurrences.
DR.. Charles Edward Stowe, Harriet
Beecher Stoves son, describes in the
Circle magazine the influences which
led his mother to the writing OF the
book which moved the world.
Mrs. Stoves family had removed to
Cincinnati when she was about ~
years of age and there she had had
unusual opportunities for observing the
practical workings Of slavery as an In
stitution.
At this time her brother, Charles
Beecher, was in business in the city
of New Orleans in a large commission
house which had frequent dealings
with the slave plantations. He also
kept a journal of his observations and
experiences. His letters were full OF
incidents bearing more or less remote
ly on the practical influence of slavery.
There was an actual Legree, whom
Mrs. Stoves brother Charles met on
the boat returning to his Red River
plantation with a miserable gang of
slaves that he had purchased in New
Orleans.
Uncle Tom was largely an ideal char
acter, but the leading traits Of the COM
posite portrait were drawn from many
conversations that Mrs. Stowe had
with trembling fugitives, who, on their
way to Canada and freedom, found in
her house food, shelter, kind words and
pecuniary aid.
At last she herself was stricken
down with a painful and dangerous
illness. But she could still trust and
pray. And pray she did so fervently
and with such faith that her soul was
born into a new and glorious expert
ence of Gods greatness and love. In
1850 she Joined her husband in Maine.
After her resolve was formed, months
elapsed before she was able to carry
out her intention of writing something
to make the world realize the horrors
of slavery. The writer is obliged to
confess that he was himself the prin-
cipal hindrance just at that time. In
December, 1850 Mrs. Stowe wrote to
Mrs. Edward Beecher: "As long as the
baby sleeps with me nights can't
do much at anything, but 1 will do it.
I will write that thing If 1 liver

FLOATING IN THE AIR.
The Impression on Ascending in q
Free Balloon.

The Impression on Ascending in q
Free Balloon.
One Of the first questions which am
usually asked by persons seeking In
formation about balloons is, what is
the sensation of going up in a balloon?"
writes Captain G. Def. Chandler, U. s.
A. 1 will anticipate this same inquiry
of the readers of this article and state
for their information that in a free
balloon have not noticed any peculiar
physical sensation which can be de-
scribed. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as a sensation.
The impression on ascending in a free
balloon is more an optical illusion. The
ascent Is so slow and gentle that it
cannot be felt and one has the impress
sion that the balloon is motionless and
the earth gradually dropping away. All
the noises and shouts of the people be-
come fainter and die out AS the alti-
tude increases hills and valleys are not
apparent, and the earth seems fat, like
a beautiful colored map, showing cul.
tivated fields, forests, etc.
The greater part of the time bal
loon is moving either up or down, but
the motion is not apparent, and it re-
quires a statoscope to indicate whether
the balloon is ascending or descending.
If considerable change of altitude Is
made in a short time, the difference in
air pressure may be felt on the ear
drums. In descending even quite rap
Idly have never had any sensation Of
falling.-Journal of Military Service.
