is CALLED DUTCH THACKERAY
Work of Maarten Martens, Says
Eastern journal, Will Live as
Long as "Pendennis."

Holland lost in the death of Joost
Marius Willem Van der Poorten
Schwartz, known to the world of let
tiers as Maarten Martens, the one
great novelist of whom it mad right
to be proud, a writer IN the Brooklyn
Eagle declares. In some respect he
was the leader of the world in novel
making. His breadth of sympathy,
his keenness of observation, his ha-
tired of sham, his gentle humor, made
Gods Fool,'' 1.-The Sin OF Joost Ave
lingh,'' "Dorothea,' "The Healers"
and a dozen other works familiar to
readers in every land, and there was
a grave loss tc the world of letters as
we'll as to his native country in his
passing.
"Maarten Martens" lived much in
Paris. He loved to be in the world
and of the world But his work was
mostly done in the old castle of Zon-
heuvel, near Doom. With Maurice
Maeterlinck, the Belgian, he kept the
literary art of the low countries" in
the worlds van To Americans his
skill was a delight, losing little in
translation. He might be called the
Dutch Thackeray without much
stretching of the imagination. He had
much in common with the author of
Vanity Fair and his works are
bound to live as long as "Pendennis"
or Henry Esmond."

LITTLE JIMMY MUCH KISSED
Disclaimed Any Intention of Rubbing
Off caress of Noted Woman
Was Trying to Rub 1t In.

Little Jimmy had reached the con-
cIusion that everybody in the world
had kissed him or wanted to very bad
ly. He could not help being boy that
all the ladies wanted to pet and be-
stow their kisses upon. In fact, Jimmy
longed for the day when he would have
a say so in the matter of being kissed.
One day famous woman came to call
upon his mother. Jimmy CHANGED to
enter the parlor and was directed by
his mother to come up and see the no
ted Mrs. So and So. Jimmy knew what
was coming, but he could not prevent
the occurrence. The visitor took him
by the hand and gently gathered him
up into her lap, and as she let him
down to the floor again she graciously
bestowed a kiss upon his pouting lips.
Jimmy jumped away from her and be-
gan to rub his lips in vicious man.
ner.
''What, you are not rubbing my kiss
of, my little MANI" questioned the
woman. Jimmy was puzzled for few
moments, then replied:
mo, ma'am; I'm just rubbing 1t in,"
and then vanished through the door,

HAS ITS PECULIAR QUALITIES
Guncotton, Powerful Explosive, Will
Simply Burn Rapidly When 1t
Is Unconfined.

If someone should place a wad Of
guncotton on the palm of your hand
and threaten to touch it off with a
lighted match, you would be fright
ened. Yet you need not be. Though
guncotton is one of the most powerful
of ordinary explosives, it would not
hurt you.
When dry guncotton is exposed to
the air it does not explode when ig-
nited, but burns with great rapidity.
So rapidly does the burning take place
that If loose wad of the material be
held in the hand and touched with
fire, there is a sudden flash, and an in
slant later not trace of smoke or
mark on the hand remains to indicate
what has taken place. Guncotton does
not detonate unless it is confined, as
in the barrel of gun.
When dry, however, guncotton can
be made to explode with great vio-
lence by being struck sharply between
two hard surfaces. Defamation, as
such an explosion is called, Is quite
different phenomenon from burning. 1t
seems to consist in the instantaneous
disintegration of the molecules of the
exploding substance. 1t is as though
all the bricks in a great building were
in a fraction of a second to be scat,
tered about Greater New York.

Good Done ty Birds.

fhe department of agriculture In
forms us that out of so species of
hawks and owls, only four are actu-
ally injurious to crops. Our observer
tells us that he has seen with his own
eyes an owl of his acquaintance swal-
low nine field mice, one after another,
until the tail of the last remained in
evidence. However, in few hours,
this meal having been digested with
no apparent effort, the owl was ready
for four more mice. The old hawk
and his wife will consume a round
dozen Of mice each during single
day, and in two months time their
youthful brood will devour a similar
quantity. 1t has been stated that a
colony of hawks will kill 10000 rO-
dents in three months time. We all
know what damage mice perpetrate
in our grain fields. The farmer may
well spare a chicken or two from his
henyard in payment for service rem

Try T his.

II you will take pavement that is
clear, and walk briskly in the center,
you will find that before you have
gone SO yards you have Tnconsciously
veered very much to one side. To
make this test accurate you must not
use any effort to keep in the center,
If you think of something else and
endeavor to walk naturally, you will
find that you are not able to keep
going liz a straight line. In the same
way person lost in a wide expanse
of level country will describe a COM
plete circle as he keeps walking on

in the propensity of one foot to walk
faster than the other, or to take
longer stride than the other, causing

COSTLY FUNERAL FOR HORSE
Wealthy Vest Virginian Has Coffin
Made for Favorite Steed-Erects
Monument.

Clarksburg, w. Va-David David
son, a wealthy retired merchant,
scarcely could have been more grieved
over the death Of a relative than he
was when John, his favorite riding
horse, died.
In the last 27 years there had been
feE weeks days when Davidson had
not taken a ride on his pet saddler,
and sympathy had grown between
horse and master. Davidson accorded
his four-footed friend a ceremonious
burial.
He had a carpenter make hand
some coffin, In which the body of the
dead beast was laid, after the big box
had been prettily draped. A costly
blanket was placed over the body, the
cover was fastened on and the coffin
was lowered into a grave, on which a
mark has been erected.
