UNFINISHED TALES
Famous Writers Have Died While
at Work on Novels.
HALF DOZEN SUCH IN ENGLISH
Generally Conceded That 1.-THE Mys-
terry of Edwin Brood by Dickens, Is
the Greatest of These Books Which
Death Denied to the World.

In the English language there are at
least six novels which have only a be-
ginning. Like the grandfather's clock,
they stop short. never to go again"
because the authors died before they
could finish their works.
The most famous of these is THE
Mystery of Edwin Brood" which some
critics think would have been Dick
ems masterpiece had he lived TO finish
it. But it still remains q mystery In
spite of countless efforts to solve it,
Robert Louis Stevenson also left an
engaged when death ended his labors
The novel was entitled st. Ives" but
happily there was more to go upon
than in the case of Edwin Brood"
and it is generally admitted that Sir
Quiller-COuch made one of the best
attempts to finish another mans novel.
While everybody knows that Dick
ems left Il novel unfinished few know
that his great rival. Thackeray, did
the same.
The novelist had just started the
COrnhill Magazine, of which the most
prominent feature was Il novel from
the editors pen. entitled Denis Du-
val" which he WAS writing month by
month as the installmentS fell due.
Suddenly he died. and the serial was
but half finished Fortunately. how
ever, the careful Thackeray had left
full notes for the development Of the
story, which was finished by Frederick
Greenwood
Jane Austen died when she was in
the midst of another masterpiece, EN-
titled "The WatsOns." which was
found in her desk after her death.
When Charlotte Bronte died the
world missed q namelesS novel which
the author of Jane Eyre" had start
ed. But so little had she done on il
that none of her successors i'm fiction
has. had the temerity to attempt even
to finish it, and it is likely to remain
an interesting fragment, observes the
Philadelphia Ledger.
In this respect it may be compared
to another unfinished work-Edgar
Allan Poes weird story, THE Maria
tive of Arthur Gordon Pym.' Who
could finish that story? 1t is doubtful
whether Poe himself could. for he lived
eleven years after it was first publish
ed in itS agmentary condition.

a BIT of Philosophy.

A young man with u practical knowl-
edge in his head, skill in his hands
and health in his body is his own let
ter of reference. Mix him up with
G0OOO,O0O Of others and you will find
him again, as he will have a habit OF
being at top. Throw him naked into
a desert island and he will be at the
head Of something. He does not go
whining over the land, blaming for
tune and saying he has no chance, but
goes out and does something, and goes
out and does it again and better. Men
that can do things, either with head
or hands, are the men that are wanted.
and the demand Is as great now as 1t
has been at any time since the begin
Millstadt Enterprise.

The Brain and the BODY.

Trenton, n. j., April 22.-Under the
direction of Mrs. Elizabeth III. B. Man
sell. superintendent of the State Home
For Girls here, an interesting expert
ment is being conducted for the pur-
pose of benefiting the inmates OF the
institution. The pla; consists of Civ
ing the girls gymnastic and physical
culture exercises under supervision of
experts. the exercises being designed
to build up physically on the theory
that mental and moral benefits will re-
suit.
The work is along similar lines to
those followed with great success by
DR.. George H. Orton, physician of the
New Jersey reformatory at Railway.
Observation showed that criminal tend
enc1es, degeneracy and other sorts of
ylciousneSs often could be explained
by physical defects. The correction Of
these defects by medical care and prop
er exercise was deemed feasible, and
experiments proved that the expecta-
ton was wholly justified. Fine results
were obtained ut Railway, and Mrs
Mansel is obtaining the same sort Of
effects in her work at Trenton
IF one-half of the brain is dormant"
says Mrs. Mansell. then one-half of
the body is CORRESPONDENCE affected
And if one-half of the body is weaker
than one-half the brain the brain also
is affected. The reflex action on the
brain from physical defects in the case
OF the young spells ruination to the EN-
tire structure and leaves the girl or
boy subject to vicious and criminal
tendencies. The correction of physical
ills will do much to place the whole
system on a sound basis, whether men
tai, physical or moral. 1t is on this
system that we are working
I'VE must study each case in order
to obtain the necessary treatment and
to find what enemies we must fight in
the case under consideration"

FIRST PURE FOOD LAW.
Excavations Yield Interesting Finds
In the City of Samaria.

In the City OF Samaria.
Professor George A. Reisner of Har-
ward university discovered among
some specimens Of earliest Hebrew
writing in the excavations of the city
Of Samaria, in Palestine, a most inter
esting record of the first pure food
laws in history. He also found an
cient writings dealing with the first
instance on record Of the keeping OF
wines in a government warehouse un-
der bond.
Dating back to the period of King
Ahab, $50 b. c., these inscriptions are
considered to be one Of the greatest
finds Of the Harvard Palestinian ex-
petition which delved into the city of
Ahab and Amri for three years. They
found labels on wine and oil jars.
These mentioned the year In which
the wine was laid down in the cellars
of the palace storehouSe, and they
state the vineyard from which the
wine came, important facts that are
recognized equally well by winners
today,
On the oil jars the label reads, "a
Jar Of pure OIL" with the mention Of
the district from which the oil came.
The bits of pottery on which the de-
scriptions were written were not parts
Of the jars, says Health Culture;S but
evidently were intended to be attach
ed to the necks Of the receptacles, just
SO are labels or seals at the present
time

half of wOmans suffrage would cost
him his seat in congress; but, he add
