all these may have grated. On the
other hand. his turn toward exaggera-
ton and caricature showed these
faults at their worst. Yet IL was not
through lack of love that he chastised
us. He had written even worse of the
English. Emphasizing faults and hold
ing them up to ridicule was his method
of reforming them.
Whatever our political attitude 20

got over the habit Of regarding her lit

Shakespeare belongs rs much to us as
he does to the beefeaters and oh man

Browning and Tennyson, are ours as
much as theirs. That man possesses
most of an author who gets most out

the foremost of any time or cline.
This is undue praise. and he does not

enough that they are stars and that,
being stars, they shine and are eternal.
Eulogy Is no more needed by Dick
ems than by mountain peak or a

as old Charlemagne and Cromwell. The

Ferryboat Carried On a Train.

A unique transportation feat was Sue
cessfully carried out recently at Kla-
math Falls, Ore, in the transfer by
railroad of a ferryboat, 70 #. long,
weighing 81 tons. 1t was not the
length and weight, however, that made
the feat a remarkable one, but the
bulk and height, which appear over
whelming when compared with train.
The height from the floor of TIE fat
cars to the top of the smoke stack is
about 4S #.
The distance the vessel was transport
ed was ~ miles. She had been in use
on Lake Ewauna, but the owner decid-
ed that she could navigate Upper Kla-
math Lake to more advantage, and, as
the last named lake is SIS # higher than
the first, some means of land transport
tation had to be figured upon. A pic
ture of the boat en- route appears in the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine.

next year and at about the same time
began the appearance of the "Pickwick
Papers" For the next quarter of a
world was literally at his feet.
Some one has said OF Dickens that
there is no evidence in his works that
he had ever read Il book. Perhaps the
only other great writer of whom this
could be said was Shakespeare. While
specifically the two are dissimilar. ex-
amined more closely there is much In
common between England's premier
dramatist and her greatest novelist.
Dickens had strong turn for the
stage. was himself good actor, and.
while his early plays amounted to lit
tie, his stories have been dramatiZed
with immense success. The power to
portray character. the humor. the uni
versal sympathy, the charm OF charac-
ter and the faculty TO grip mems hearts
was possessed in supreme degree by
both writers and was never found in
the same combination in any other.
Dickens even wrote verse, although
little of it has lived except 1.-THE Ivy
Green" In my own view Dickens was
the Shakespeare of English fiction.
Elaborate preparations have been
made to celebrate his centenary
throughout the world. The novelist's
son. Alfred Tennyson Dickens, was in
America to attend this celebration at
the time OF his sad death only short
month previous to the event. Others
OF the family are said to be in poverty.
and recent theatrical benefit wherein
most of the Dickens characters were
represented on the stage was given In
London. the proceeds OF which went to

TOOTHSOME SWEETS.

BY Nicolas soyer, Chef Of Brooks
Club, London.
Pudding a la Munich: Take some
slices of stale French bread and toast

thickly, first with butter, then with
golden syrup. Place a layer of golden
syrup in a well-greased paper souffle

very little grated nutmeg or alspice.
Put layer of the toast, then cur
rants, sultanas. peel and spice, and re-
peat the layers until the dish is full.
Make a custard with half a pint of
milk, the well-beaten yolk of an egg
and a tablespoonful of powdered
sugar. Pour over the whole and leave

the white Of an egg to a stiff froth
with few drops of lemon Juice; add
little powdered sugar and pile high
on top of the pudding. Put in we'll
buttered bag, bake to golden brown
for thirty minutes, and serve. The
meringue mixture may be omitted
and the custard made with the whole
egg. In that case, bake the pudding
for thirty-five minutes. Dust some
powdered sugar over and serve.

A GLIMPSE OF YOURSELF.
Get 1t by Reading a Cosby Letter
You Wrote Years Ago.

There is nothing more interesting
than to come across Unexpectedly an
intimate and gossipy letter that one
wrote oneself ten or fifteen years ago.
In reading such letter one is looking
at oneself from the outside. The proc
ess is a good deal like looking out of
the window and seeing oneself go past
in the crowd. The strange part of the
matter is that in reading such q docu-
ment one is generally filed with a sort
of pity for the fellow who wrote it.
He seems to have been rather uncer-
tain Of himself. He CROPPED for his
facts and his ideas. Evidently he did
not know much. He was merely an
imperfect adumbration Of the admira-
BILE person who is now overlooking his
correspondence, eh! That is the first
impression. But presently one feels
differently about it. Those half baked
opinions may now have hardened into
dogmas. We may now be cOcksure
of what once we only surmised. But
who is so hopelessly wrong as the
cocksure man? If the person one
was fifteen years ago could contem-
plate effectively the person one is
now perhaps he would pity the pur-
blind dOgmatist more than we pity the
cropping eXperimentalist. - New York
Mail.
