LITTLE NELL WAS ORIGINAL
DeQuincey's sour Lady of Tears" Did
Not Suggest the Character to
Dickens.

It is remarked of Charles Dickens
that no modern writer was less open
to the charge of having received sug-
gestions from the characters and plots
of his novels from others than was
he, and this for the reason that his
plots and characters were chosen, not
from books, but from people and in
cidents in the living world about him.
Some time ago, however, an English
author thought that he had found in
DeQuincey's essay, Our Lady Of
Tears" the suggestion for the beauti-
full pathos of Little Nell, in "The Old
Curiosity Shop" A little inyestiga-
ton, however, showed that De-
Quincey's essay was published in 1S45,
while 1.-THE Old Curiosity Shop" was
published five years before. The ex-
tract here given from DeQuincey's es-
say is interesting:
'The eldest of the three sisters is
named Mater Lachrymarum, our Lady
of Tears. The sister it is that carries
keys more than papal at her girdle,
which open every cottage and every
palace. She, to my knowledge, safe
all last summer by the bedside of the
blind beggar, him that so often and
SO gladly / talked with, whose pious
daughter, eight years old, with the
sunny countenance, resisted the temp
tations of play and village mirth, to
travel all day long on dusty roads
with hor afflicted father For this did
God send her great reward. In the
springtime Of the year, and whilst yet
her own spring was budding. He
called her to himself. But her blind
father mourns for ever over her; still
he dreams at midnight that the little
guiding hand is locked within his own,
and still he wakens to a darkness that
is now within second and deeper
darkness"

Most Primitive Race Of People.

AS modern example Of an abso-
lutely primitive race of people Prof.
w. Volz Of Breslau university, has
brought to notice the Kubus, who are
completely isolated In the forest in
terror of Sumatra. They share the
life and habits Of the apes living in
the same forest. They do not seem
to have advanced even to the hunting
stage of development, and are not
known to have any ideas of religion.

Home influence on Writing.

Environment has been held respon-
sible for many human frailties, but 1t
is only lately that it mas had to Shout
der the blame for poor handwriting.
Even more than temperament and
copy books environment influences a
child's handwriting" said a handwrit
ing expert. IF he sees a fashionable
writing or a clear business hand on
tables and desks at home he will imi-
tate that unconsciously. If only an
uneducated scrawi meets him there,
he, too, VIII scrawl, let his instruction
at school be ever so thorough"
