ORIGIN or "oLIvER TWIST"
Dickens Got His Principal Characters
From Crukshank.

Dickens Got His Principal Characters
From crukshank.
The true story OF the origin Of coli
yer Twist" is not generally known. 1t
Is this,
After the amazing success OF the
"Pickwick Papers" Dickens was think
Ing Of following ii up by story Of
London life, with which he was more
familiar than with English country
life. Just about that time he happened
to visit the studio of George Cruik-
shank and was shown some drawings
the latter had made illustrating the
career of London thief There WAS
a sketch of Fagins den. with the Art
FIJI Dodger and Master Charley Bates.
pictures OF Bill Skies and his dog and
Nancy Skies and, lastly, Fagin in the
condemned cell.
Dickens was much struck by the pow
er of these character sketches, aud the
result was that he changed tile whole
plot OF oliver Twist Instead of
taking him through spiritless adyen-
lures in the country he introduced him
into the thieves den in London, show
ed up their life Of sin, but brought his
hero through pure and undefiled.
Thus it will be seen that George
Cruikshank, not Charles Dickens, was
the originator OF the leading charac-
ters that appear in "Oiiver Twist. -

In the course of lis continuous
growth the hair records the tide of vi
tality ms il rises and falls in the body.
When n hair is held up to the light 1t
may be seen TO be smaller al some
places than at others. There may be

Such spots indicate an appreciable

the hair. not being developed, are not
as strong as otherwise.
The hair grows until the weight is
so great that IL can no longer be sus-
tanned by the root, and it drops out.
That is why hairs are of different
lengths. Coarse hair having large
roots, will grow long. When the vital
ity is low all over the body the roots
are imperfectly developed. and the hair
is likely to fall ont, as in cases Of ty-
phoid fever.
Dandruff is 4 parasitic disease, and
the parasites get down around the root
of the hair which becomes diseased.
That is another reason why the hair

In one of the Japanese papers are
some "reminiscences of the war with
Russia, and among them is the follow
ing:
When peace was concluded between
japan and Russia the study OF the
japanese language became something
like a craze among Russians. AT Har-
bin. for instance. Japanese were in
great demand as teachers of their
mother tongue. Many Japanese bar
bers and laundrymen shut up their
shops and became instructors OF Japa
nesp.
AS in most cases the instruction was
not conducted on Il systematic method.
many Russian students OF Japanese
only succeeded in acquiring a smatter
ing OF the language.
Then one day japanese Interpreter
who taught Japanese to Russian rail
way men at Hardin received letter
from one of his whilom pupils asking
for a certificate OF his proficiency. AS
a matter of fact, his knowledge Of Jap
anese does not extend beyond what
may be called pidgin japanese. but
certificate was forwarded TO him as
requested.
A few weeks later the interpreter
was surprised to receive letter from
the Russian informing him that he had
been engaged by the government as
professor of japanese at monthly
salary of 500 roubles.--Japanese Chron.
