The Novel and Modern Life.

A distinguished professor remarkeu
not long ago that in order to obtain
an audience nowadays it was neces-
sary either to write novels or to write
about novels. The observation Is not
quite true. but it is as near the truth
as epigrammatic expression permits
of. The novel has laid hold of modern
life and subdued to itself all other
forms of literary art. The drama Is
struggling poetry is struggling; Sc
rious prose, apart from technical ana
professional treatises. is barely hold
ing its own But why, it may be SAID
blame the novel? The reason is Cd
yious. There is. after all. only I'M
tied amount of literary talent in any
country at any one time. There is also
only a limited number of readers. H.
therefore, the novel has captured the
majority of readers, there is obviously
less chance for other forms OF liter
airy work. In the Elizabethan age all

| novel had been as fully developed

Useful Whiskers.

Human whiskers are worn more for
ornament than use. but in the case OF
animals of the cat tribe whiskers are
very serviceable indeed.
In the dark, for instance. they serve
practically as an extra pair of eyes
The hairs themselves are quite bristly
and insensible. but the tiny glands
from which they grow are the most
sensitive part of the cats skin. So
whiskers take the place of cropping
pair of hands.
A distinguished naturalist recently
declared that a lion or tiger which had
its whiskers cut would starve to death
Stealing through the jungle at night ir
search of prey the lion depends on his
whiskers to warn him of things in hi;
path. The slightest sound of rustlint
would betray his presence. but witt
the aid of his whiskers the lion steer
clear of the twigs or leaves that wouit
lose him his supper.

have in past years wollowed through
some of the mirey flats on the roads

meet with a pleasant surprise If they

and see the revolution that has been

the establishment of the new highway
district-and that Is not saying that
there are not 'places which need 1t
yet," and will continue to need work
badly for some time to come. 1t can
not all be accomplished in one season
but 1t is most encouraging to know
that good progress Is being made.

creek, among the number one at P.
Johnston's, Dave Pugh's, Jim Adki-
