THE MAN WHO TALKS

lire. Tn the main great CnardcIerS III novels are real studies from life. A writer cannot describe an eccentric character without having seen one or having given attention to his pecu- Harities than an artist could paint the figure of a dog or the picture or a flower without having seen a model. There is no doubt the truth in novels is what makes them unpopular with certain clesses. Novels worth reading are true pictures of life. They must have analytical, critical and psychol- ogicai merit. There was never a great book without bad characters described in it, for it is the fine contrasts of character which make the books in forming, helpful and entertaining. The Bible is not an exception to the rule, but Is a confirmation of this fact. Why such books are classed as fiction is because they are imperson- al or their. true incidents of life are attributed to invented names or inn aginary persons.
 Any banker can sit right down with you and tell you how to win an income of $1,000 year by saving. He will lay the law down so if you live up to it you cannot fail. There Is no mystery about the accumulation of money, but there are plenty of difh- culties in the way. Where one is con cerned there must be self-denial-
 
 be cooperation. There is nothing haphazard about it. If $5 is blown in for a days sport the interest on $1O0 is gone forever; and if this is done 20 times in a year the interest on $2,000 year forever is lost. Some people say: we have to have some fun!" Others, i've need security" The needless choose their fun and go without security, and the wise during the same time have become independ- ent.. It is pleasanter to be chased up by the seller of gold-bonds than it is long neglected debts. Court thrift in stead of extravaganza and make life pleasanter for yourself.
 How fond some people are of flow CTS. but they steer clear of the work | necessary to produce them.

No one can | work in the garden to produce any | thing without improving themselves Money Is not the only remuneration 1 for a good appetite and the sound in- | Nigorating sleep of the out-of- dool | worker is something money cannot | buy.

 No one can work alone in the garden and it matters not whether you thinl you are working with Fate or witl God, you are sure you have a part ner. The garden does not depenC
 solely upon the work of man-it neve

 'The snow f1eas which make the sno7 1 black are tiny insects, according | 7 Comstock'S Manual, belong to the Orde 7 Thysineurids and the sub-order Col , ambola. These tiny creatures are
 many species which may be found z most times of the year, but are nc ticeable only when they collect in yer large numbers in the spring on tt snow, or on the surface of the wate g They have a curious lever tail whic s extends under the body almost to tt g head when they are at rest. By sut

It is questionable wheth, s these insects found in such a low ten n perature are natural or accidents |.
