Twenty Volume Novels.


The longest novels of today are pyg.
mics compared with those published
in the seventeenth century. Mile. de
Scudery's lie Grand Cyrus ran into
ten volumes. its publication being
spread over five years. And when
it was translated. or, to quote the title
page, "Engiished by a Person of Hon.
our" it appeared in five folio volumes
Of some 500 pages apiece. Another
novelist Of the same period. La Cal
prenede. was v mor, diffuse. one
of his works. "Cleopatre." extending
over twenty-three volumes. These
novels found plenty of readers despite
their enormous length. The Paris pub
Usher of lie Grand Cyrus" made
100000 crowns by the first edition
alone. Nearly all the works Of Sou
derry and Calprenede were translated
into English as soon as they appeared
and many, Of them into German az

A Lottery Romance.

A few years ago. as the date for the
drawing Of the annual Christmas lot
terry at Madrid was approaching. a poor
mechanic of Corunna was awakened
three consecutive nights by the num-
Der 1875, 1868, apparently spoken in his
ear. So impressed was he by the repe-
tition of the incident that he wrote
down the number and jocularly said
to his wife, THAT number will win
the first prize in the great lottery"
"Then why don't you buy the ticket?"
his wife answered jokingly as she
looked at the figures. why, see, II
you add them together they just come
to my age. I shall be t%hirty-one on
Christmas day." The ticket, after much
trouble, was found ut had been reject
ed a few minutes earlier by a wealthy
citizen Of Corunna) and bought, and
before many days had passed the me-
chanic and his wife made jubi-
liant by the news that the ticket had
won the first prize Of f200.O00-Ion-
don Globe.

HIS GREAT IDEA.
The Tin Plated Tomato and tho Moral
That Goes With It.


"A good theory that won't work isn't
half as good as a poor one that will.
Twenty years ago a young man just
out Of college had a great idea. He
was going to tin plate tomatoes. There
was to be no more troublesome pairing
and cooking and canning to preserve,
tomatoes throughout winters. 1t would
be necessary only to drop a nice ripe
tomato into his timing solution and it
would come out coated with tin and
would keep for twenty years. In fact,
there wasn't any reason why it should
not keep forever! The young inventor
figured it would cost him 80 cents u
gallon to make this Timing solution.
It surely would sell for 50 a gallon.
Every n eats tomatoes-that is, near.
ly every one. Everybody would eat
them If they could always have a nice
tin plated tomato lying around. He
ought to sell a million gallons a year.
That would be a profit of a million and
a half dol Well, no tin plated toma-
toes are on the market yet, and the

Endive is becoming more popular

Oats contain about So per cent of

DO GHOSTS HAUNT SWAMpS?

No never. It's foolish to fear a fancied
evil, when there are real and deadly
perils to guard against in swamps and
marshes, bayous, and lowlands. These
are the malaria germs that cause ague,
chills and fever, weakness, aches in the
bones and muscles and may induce
deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters

RECORDS LEAD TO ECONOMY
Farmer Soon Finds That He Man.
ages His Affairs Better Than He
Would Otherwise Do.
(By PROF. J. H. sHEPPERD.)

(By PROF. j. H.. sHEPPERD.)
There is an element of economy
which goes with the keeping of live
stock. A man who patronizes a cream
cry Is almost invariably found to soon
begin figuring on how nearly the milk
check will cover certain items of n8c-
essary expense and by thinking about
1t and having 1t as a problem or sort
of game he soon finds that he be-
his affairs better than he would other
wise do. 1t Is apt to be contagious
also and other members of the family
begin figuring on the income from the
cows, chickens, pigs and items Incl.
dental to the grain crops and with
this interest there is apt to grow with
them also an element Of economy.
In an old district in Wisconsin
where some merchants have been in
business for more than 80 years they
told q friend of mine that conditions
had entirely changed as to the amount
Of credit business they we're called
upon to do. When the district was a
grain growing country they did al.
most wholly a credit business and
made their collections when the sea-
son for t%hreshingg and marketing the
grain was at hand. Now they find
that under the practice Of selling
dairy products and live stock they
have practically all cash sales. They
inform me, however, that their sales

were when settlement was made once

from my own personal experience. ]
