VARIETY IN HIS WRITINGS
Author of Many Popular Dime Novels
Later Repented and Produced
Several Serious Works.

Perhaps there was something in the
atmosphere of Maine that set the lit
erary tide toward Observation-Disclosures.
At any rate, one of the most popular
authors of dime novels was ]. III. lngra-
ham, who was born in Portland and
died in 1866 in the South. His was a
varied career. He abandoned mercan-
tile pursuits and became teacher in
Washington college, near Natchez,
Miss. and in 1886 produced n volume
of his impressions of the Southwest.
Then he turned his attention to dime
novel writing and brought out THE
Dancing Star, or the Smuggler of the
Chesapeake" published in Boston. This
was followed by three dime novels
published in New York in 1898.
Captain Kyd, or the Wizard of the
Sea-" Josephine, or the Maid of the
Gulf" and Dancing Feather, or the
Pirate Schooner" three frankly pi-
ratical, though not pirated stories
LADY ImOgene, Tale Of Long Is
land Sound" is not pirate story, but
is the equal of the others in literary
merit.
In later life he repented, and while
his dime novels are not TO be found
on the shelves of public libraries, pos
sibly among the dust-cOvered volumes
In the regions where the uncalled-for
books are placed may be found his seri'
Gus works, "a Prince Of the House
of David" 1.-THE Pillar of Fire anC
"The Throne of David" produced after
he had been ordained as an Episcopal
| minister and rector of st. Thomas
Hall, an academy for boys at Holly
/ Springs, Miss.

To Help Rapid Transit.

The blasting off of a 15-fOOt layer
of rock from the top of COenties reef
in East river, New York, just east Of
the lower end of Manhattan, and, at
the same time, the boring of two tun-
nelS under this reef, constitute q dual
engineering undertaking now in prog
reSS that is calling for unusual precau-
tons and skillful procedure, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. The tunnel
will serve as new rapid-tranSit link
between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The
cost of cutting down the reef is being
borne by the federal government and
New York city. At mean low tide the
reef has been % feet below the sur
face, n distance that is not regarded
as safe for some heavily laden boats.
The new depth of 40 feet will be more
sufficient, it is believed. The tunnel

Hone for Poor Writers.

Motion pictures are being employed
for the purpose of making "A scientific
study of the various movements in
writing with view to aScertaining
how poor writer's can best be taught
to improve. Motion pictures have
been taken of children of two groups:
Good writer's and poor writer's. These
pictures have been thrown on the
screen for the purpose of analysing the
kinds of movements which character
ize good as distinguished from poor
writer's. The Investigators are not yet
ready to make final deductions as to
what the films reveal, but they are Of
the opinion that differences In rhythm
of action and in the coordination OF
certain strokes are among the char
arctcriSticS which will form basis for
judging good and bad movements. The
advantage of the films Is that they

He Had Them.

There We're three brothers at the
place where we spent our vacation this
year. They were playing with stout
string one day, the two older boys
pulling against the youngest boy. They
were pulling around a tree stump and
didn't see little Bill when he put the
string In his mouth and held it with
his teeth, and naturally but fatally
they kept on pulling. In moment
they heard q terrible yell, and ran
to find Bill with blOod-Staincd hand
and mouth and the news they'd pulled
his teeth out.
They all went sOlemnly to their
mother, who pulled little Bill into her
arms and wept over him. "Oh, BIZ,
you've lost your teeth and you'll have
to wait until you're a man to have
others"
"N0, I won't, mamma" BIZ said, and
stopped crying long enough to unclasp
his little blood-spattcrcd fist. 81 didn't

Garibaldis for Freedom.

Where his study window looks out
on the yellow waters of the Tiber,
winding through the Rome for which
he fought so long and bravely, l lis
tened, one afternoon in late December
to that fiery old warrior, Gen. Ricciot-
ii Garibaldi, while he spoke of the war
and of Italys part in it, Lewis K. Free
man writes in Worlds Work. "All OF
my boys are fighting" he had said,
"and my daughters and my wife are
nursing. Two of the boys are gone
killed in France-but the other five
are with the Italian army. They are
all good fighters, think; but one OF
them-Peppino, the eldest-is also an
able soldier. Or at least he ought to
be, for he has been trained in the
'Garibaldi' school. There hasn't been
a war (save that between Russia and
Japan) or revolution In any part OF
the world in the last twenty years II
which he hasn't drawn a sword, car
ried q rifle or swung. a machete."

HOUSES HEATED WITH SMOKE
Inhabitants of Korea Have Ingenious
Way of Making the Floor
Serve as Huge Stove.

The rigorous winter of Korea, which
deters many japanese from settling
there, is made endurable, says the
Herald of Asia, by means of heating
cOntrivances called ondOl. This is
very ingenious way of heating q whole
room by making smoke and heated
air pass under the floor. In fact, the
floor serves as huge stove.
A floor Is first made of mud and is
intersected by three or four flues
which spring from the fireplace at one
side of the house and converge into
the chimney at the other. Large slabs
Of stone are laid over this mud floor
with its parallel flues. The joints are
made alright with clay, and layer
of clay is added on the top. Finally
the whole is covered with thick oiled
paper. The fireplace Is outside Of the
wall at one side and the smoke passes
through those flues in the floor on its
way to the chimney at the other end
of the house. In this way the whole
room is effectively warmed. Neither
stove nor hibachi IS needed In such a
, room, even during an exceedingly cold
day, and 1t is q real comfort to sleep
In 1t, feeling, as one does, the soft
warmth enveloping the whole body
| from beneath.

The voting members of the cOngre-

and the young people next Tuesday

Among the turmoil and uproar OF
these DAYS let us occasionally make a
pause and consider where we stand.
war is the most dire visitation which
God ever sends upon nation. And
as this dreadful vengeance has now
come upon use let us cast backward
glance over the past and our SINS
against the holy God of nations. Let
the causes which finally moved our
officials to declare war be what they
NAV, this fact remains: We have
sinned and now shall be punished,
Nor can we expect surCease from this
evil until we have somewhat put
away our own evil from the sight OF
the al-seeing God. So it behOOVeS us
to turn ourselves to repentance ana
beg for grace. Neither let us repent
of the sins of others: We have enough

fast the promise of salvation through
Christ the Crucitied, we shall find resi-
here on earth and peace beyond.
All are invited to our services.

"BOyS are born and proceed TO

They have more care and attention.
and pay less attention TO it-than any

Now and then one develops into q

the hearts of all who have had any

them follow preCeptS or advice. None
taught. None of them turn out exactly
as those who have them In charge ex-
pect them to turn out.
ut is this way: A mother has two
sons. They receive the same care and
