W MISTAKES OF^ NOVELISTS. - Writer* of Thrilling I<ore Stories Often Oat Mixed lUxThelr Details. The' average render who skims •over the last railroad Dovel is not likely to notice the many faults in <he flimsy construction of the plot. But 1 ofteu smile at the maidens •that wander in “lonely woods” at •unearthly hours of night, always -clad in "a soft, white, clinging igowu.” Now every girl knows that the average maiden is too much afraid of trnmps and snakes to wan der in. “lonely woods." And then «he is not "pale, Imt unspeakably lovely.” after such a trump. No; an ordinary girl who spends half a night in a “mossy” but damp couch will wander home in the morning full of mud and cockle burs, her •bangs ns straight ns u cable on nn •avenue car line and herself ns cross ••as a Seventh street policeman on •Saturday evening. Another odd thing is the way it -some pen pushers get mixed in their weather reports. Some begin a chapter at dawn, there are a few (moments' conversation, and,then the “buu sets in lurid banks behind tho •distant, empurpled mountains." Thero is one novel, by The Duch- •ess, l think, in which tho chapter opens with “n thick, drizzling mist •sifting down and enfolding the land scape," and in a few moments the hero is springing out of a window into the "soft, mellow moonlight.” Evidently tho weather possessed as many phases as Marshall Wilder’s 'transformation tableaux. There is one song—and it is a sweet one. too—that furnishes a brilliant example. In “Alice, Where •Art Thou?" one verse speaks of the "silver rain falling," while the first ■oneannounces that the “moonshines (bright,” and that “its rays tinge tho forest." These seem, on ordinaryoc- •casions, slightly contradictory state ments. 1 have often wondered how long •some girls could go sans meals, Baps bead, sans everything, for, judging by some of the writers, neither the •hero nor the heroine is subject to any necessity of nature. Love is an •excellent thing, a “pearl of great price." But a man in a dirty collar •and no breakfast in his stomach •doesn’t feel like courting the girl who looks as limp as the man who bet bis last dollar on Sullivan and went home to find his wife sick and fhe grocer's boy sitting on the stoop with a six months' bill. The old fashioned novelist is played out; the old fashioned hero has been cremated, and the old fashioned her oine sits in lonely solitude, forgot ten by the busy throng. The wasp waist, the lily flower that fainted at every breath has passed slowly away. May she rest in peucel And in her place is the strong, healthy, rosy cheeked, independent girl, who can •drive her horse and check her trunks with equal ease and fascinating grace. Blood and bounding health speak from every rounding curve, and The dainty, simpering, lackadaisical maiden of blushcH, tremors and sighs dwells in innocuous desuetude, let •us hope, forever. There let her rest, by the side of the hero with the "short sword and •dark, gloomy eyes," who rode about •on a borrowed horse and whose only •object was to disturb the pence of the commonwealth. Gone are the per fect heroes, the faultless heroines, •and in their place reign men and women—flesh and blood—with the passions that sink them to tho brute and elevate them to tlio divinity.— Washington Post. Many Klml* of Monkeys. The ordinary reader hardly real izes how many varieties of monkeys ■exist. We hear of monkeys in the Indies with reddish brown bodies, black heads and faces of a sky blue. There are monkeys with white eye lids, and green monkeys to be found on the African continent and Cape de Verde islands. The howlers, which inhabit South America, are largo and fierce, and travelers de scribe their yells as absolutely appalling. So dreadful is tho sound of their growlings and roarings that •one would imagine that all tho beasts •of the forests had gathered together for a battle. These creatures are so fierce that even the most skillful and ■adventurous trainer is unwilling to teach them tricks. —Harper's Young People. Consecrating Church Dell*. The custom of consecrating church bells was once common to nearly all •denominations, but it iB now con fined principally to the Roman Cath olics. Tho old form was to wash the bell with holy water, anoint it with oil and mark it with the sign of the •cross, and to some extent this form is still used. At the time of the Ref ormation in England the prejudice against Roman Catholic ceremonies was so strong that instead of being blessed new bells were occasionally turned up and filled with punch, which then was drunk by the par ticipants in the occasion. -*New York Sun. ' Both Were Nervou*. At a duel the combatants dis charged their pistols without effect, whereupon one of the seconds inter fered and proposed that the duelists should Siake hands. To this the other second objected os unnecessary. •Then'hands," said he, “have been shaking this half hour.”—Exchange. Whittier** Ited Necktie.. The poet Whittier, strange as such a defect appears in one who made such effective use of color in his poetry, was color blind. He was able to describe with as much ac curacy as beauty the tints of the evening sky at sunsot, the hues of cloud and forest upon the side of a mountain, or tho changing purple, blue and violet of the twilight sen. His peculiarity of visiou betrayed him into un error, although an error not discoverable by his readors. The Quaker poet shared in all re spects tho quiet tastes of tho sect into which ho was horn, and shared them no less by temperament than by breeding, being naturally one of tho simplest, sedntest, most retiring and lenst showy of men. His friends were therefore natu rally astonished when lie made his appearance ono day with his usually somber garb enlivened liy a flowing necktie of a flaming scarlet hue. They wondered for a time in silence; thon a very old friend ventured to inquire; •Theo’s never worn a necktie like that before, Greenleaf; does thee think it is bocoming?" A little surprised, Mr. Whittier ap pealed to the company for their ver dict, when, tho color of tho offending decoration being mentioned, ho ex pressed both amusement and dis may and volunteered n promise to discard it at onco and forever. He had purchased it, he assurod them, under the impression that it was of a dull and decorous greon I As in many other cases of persons similarly afflicted, Mr. Whittier's color blindness was only partial, and was limited to an inability to distin guish gi'oeu from its complimentary color, red.—Youth’s Companion. Using Horne* Without Shoe*. For two years I liavo been using in old mare, 17 years old, without shoes. She had always been shod before. And for the last ton mouths I have used a 0-year-old horse of rathor heavy build without shoes. My hroughnfn is ten nnd a half hun dredweight, and they draw it singly in turns. I had them shod three times with “Charlier” shoes. Each time the shoe was made shorter, and 1 allowed the shoes to he worn until they were thinner than a sixponce. At the end of that time the middle of the hoof had grown level with the wall. Then the animal went with out shoes altogether. There was a little lameness once or twice, which passed off with a day's rest each time. I use the rasp about once a month to remove the jagged edges of the hoofs and to keep the hoofs in shape. Tho wall of tho hoofs becomes more thnn an inch in thickness and wonderfully hard, and not brittle as might have been thought, though I U3e no means to keep them soft. My horses go quite as well as with shoes, and are much safer when the sots are greasy nnd slippery. They are not os safe on ice as a sharpened horse, but much safer than an un sharpened horse.' If a horse is used unshod before the middle of the hoof is filled up, the wall breaks away in large pieces up to the nail holes, and he goes lame and must have rest un til what the furrier has cut away has been replaced by nature. ■ Noth ing could induce me to go hack to shoes, and any horse is able to do without shoos if treated as above.— Dr. Wharton in London Lancet. Superstition* of Children. As might he expected supersti tious fancies take a peculiarly firm hold of the minds of children. In the pockets of plenty of scholars at our public schools will ho found a smooth white pebble, canted for luck; around tlio necks of plenty more will he found a red string tied to keep off throat diseases, while a largo proportion could not comfort ably pass by a pin ora horseshoe without picking it up lest ill luck should ensue. At a certain school, the yard to which has no gate, hut instead an open space divided by a row of three posts, the gii'ls believe that whoever passes between the middle post and one of those next it will fail in her lessons that day, and a girl whb has unthinkingly done so will turn back and enter a second time, going care fully between an outer post and the end of the fence. This superstition is handed from class to class and bids fair to flourish for many years as part of tho information acquired at the school. No one knows how tho idoa start ed; no one takes pains to obsorve if it holds true; but what has either of these matters to do with believing in it?—Exchange. THE TOAD AND ITS JEWEL. Interesting Superstition. About n Very Harmless Little Anlmnt. Many remarkable legends nnd folklore stories cluster around the natural his tory of the common garden toad. All early writers on tho characteristic hab its of this harmless little creature make it a point to never allndo to it without interjecting a few cautionary notes on its “extremely venomous bite," or the awful effects of “inhaling the direful creature’s breath." The facts in the case are that it cannot bite at all, and if it should it has no “venom" with which to inject the wound. When irritated tho toad may exhale an* offensive secretion by moans of follicles on the neck and other parts of the body, but to suppose that this secretion is poisonous is the height of folly. Anothor toad belief—ono that was rife U00 years ago—was that tho ugly litt'o batrachian's head was set with a price less jewel. Shakespeare nllndes to this curious beliof where lie says: “Sweet ore tho uses of adversity, which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel hi its head." Tho belief in the "toadstono" was not only current in England -and the other countries of Great Britain, but was known to loarued men us ono of tho popular fallacies of. all Europe. In Hungary it was believed that tho toad ate dust and drank dew us his only food and drink. The action of tho do\y on tho dust nnd tho dust on the dew was supposed to cause a secretion to form in the animal's stomach which was vomited up each spring during molting time. The Jaques de Maheti collection of oddities at Rouen has a tray containing A dozen or fifteen of these so called “toad- stones.” But, us hinted uhove, the Brit ish belief was that the "toadstone" wns to be found only in tho head of the warty little animal. Fenton, who lived and wrote in the Sixteenth century, say». “There is to bo found in the heads of old and great toads a stone they call borax or steton, which, being UBed as rings, gives a forewarning of venom." • Lupton, writing about tho year 1088, says: "The crepandin or toadstone Ib very valuable. Touching any partenvenomed by the bite of a rat, wasp, spider or other poisonous beast ceases the pain and swelling thereof." During that uncer tain period of time classed as the Mid dle Ages people in general believed that the toad had the power of charming its prey, as well os men and larger crea tures. In classical times it was thought that no man could live whp had the mis fortune to bo looked squarely in the eyes by a toadl In some respects this latter belief partakes of the nature of the In gend of the basilisk,—St. Louis Repub lic. The India Bobber Worm. The latest triumph of Yankee invent ive genius is an India rubber flshworm. it is said to be a remarkably good imita tion of the common earth worm, is inde structible And in actnal use proves as al luring to the fishes os tho genuine arti cle. The old fisherman will be qnick to perceive tie advantages. One can equip himself for a day’s sport without dig. ging over a whole garden in his search for bait. A handful of India rubber worms will last him a whole season, and there will be no necessity for pulling up the line every few minutes to see if tho Bmall try nibblersliavo left the hook bare. Possibly the greatest admirers of the new bait will be the feminine fishers who, however expert with the hook and line, have never reached the point where they can impale an angle worm without a series of shudders. The only one who will find it a drawback will bo the girl whose chief delight in fishing come from the excuse it gives for keeping some young man at her side to handle tho horrid worms. The invention of tin rubber worm turns angling into nn exact science, with no room for flirting ac cessories.—Troy (N. Y.) Times. PetrlOod-Forest. or Arlsona. One of the greatest of natural' • curiosities is “the petrified forest of Arizona, which covers hundreds of square miles. Unless you are more hardened to wondorful sights than the writer you will almost fancy yourself in some enchanted spot. You seem to stand on tho glasB of a gigantic kaleidoscope, over whoso sparkling surface tho sun breuks in infinite rainbows. You ore ankle deep in such chips as never come from any other wood pits, ehips from trees that uro red tnoss agate, and amethyst, uud smoky toi>s, and agnte of overy hue. Such are tho marvelous splinters that cover tho ground for miles here, around tho httgo prostrate trunks— some of them fivo feet through— from which time’s patent ax has hewn them. I broke a specimen from the henrt of a tree thero throe years ago, which had around the stone pith a remarka ble array of large and exquisite crys tals. On ono side of tho specimen— which is not so largo as tny hand—is a beautiful mass of crystals of pur ple amethyst, and on tho other an equally beuutiful array of smoky topaz. One can get also mngnificout cross sections of a whole trunk, so thin os to be portable nnd showing evory vein and oven tho bark. Thero is not a chip in all those tnilos which is not worthy u place, just as it is, in tho proudest cabinet, nnd when polished I know no other rock so splondid. This petrified agate is one of tho hardest stones in tho world, nnd takes and keeps nn incomparable polish.—Pearson’s Weekly. TELEGRAPH LINES IN THE TROPICS. What Love I*. I cannot tell you what love is. I used to believe it the power that made the world go round—an ema nation from heaven—a portion of that bright essence increate, infused into the human heart; but, after watching its vagaries for half a cen tury, I am inclined to believe it a disease of the blood, the mad work of some yet undiscovered microbe, which therapeutics may yet provide a panacea for.—Exchange.

Sisal grass is likely to prove a very important source of wealth for Mexico. It grows in long, narrow blades, often to tho length of four or five feet, and these, when dry, curl up from side to sido, forming a flexible string stronger than any cotton cord of the same size ever manufactured. It is in great de mand among florists nnd among mnnu facturers of various kinds of grass goods, and it is said to be capable of being up- plied to many new uses. Ropes, cords, lincR of any description and size, may be manufactured of it, and a ship’s cable of sisal grass is one of the possi bilities of the future. It is almost im pervious to tlio action of salt water, and is not readily decayed or disintegrated by moisture and heat, it takes its name from the port of Sisal, in Yucatan through which it was formerly exported, —Board of Trade Journal. Traveling Stone* In Nevada. • The curious “traveling stones” of Australia are paralleled in Nevada. They are described as being perfectly round, about as large as a walnut and of an ivory nature. When distributed about on the floor, table, or any smooth surface within two or three feet of each other they immediately commence trav eling toward each other and meet at a common center, and there lie huddled in a bunch like eggs in a nest. A single stone removed to a distance of four feet, upon being released returns to the. heap, but if takeu away as much as fivo feej remains motionless. It is needless to say that they are largely composed of magnetic iron ore.—Grass Valley Union. Malteve Wit. The poorer Maltese have a ready wit. An English officer, failing to make n Maltese understand what he meant, called the poor man “a fool." Under- standing this much the man, who had traveled abfent a good deal, though he did not nnderstand English, replied by asking, “Do you speak Maltese?" “No/ “Do you speak Arabic?” “No.” “Do, you speak Greek?” _ “No.” “Do you spekk Italian?” “flfo.” “Then if I bn one fool yot be four fools.”—London Natits The Groat Rtrengtli of it Beetle. Mr. Gooso in his “World of Won ders” relates a retnarkablo story of tho strength of the beetle, nnd gives some ingenious comparisons. A three horned beetle was brought to him, and having no box immediately at hand he was at a loss whore to put tho specimen until ho could find time to kill nnd preserve it: At last a happy thought struck mo. Thero wns a quart bottle of milk standing on the table, the bot tom of the bottle having a hollow in it large enough to cover my prize. I set the bottle over the creature and returned to my work. Presently, to my great surprise, the bottle began to move slowly, and then gradually Bottled down 'to a smooth gliding motion across the table. It was being propelled by tho mus cular power of tho imprisoned insect. The weight of the bottle and its cou tents could not haye been less than 8 1-8 pounds, while the weight of the beetle was not near!a half ounco. Thus I was watching the strange sight of a creature moving 112 times its own weight under the most dis advantageous circumstances. A better idea than figures can con vey of this feat may he obtained by supposing a lad of twelve years to be imprisoned under the great bell of St. Paul’s cathedral, London. The bell weighs six tons. If a boy of tho age mentioned could push within and •cause the bell to glide along the pave meut his strength would not be equal in proportion to that of the beetle under the bottle. They Am Interfered with by Monkeys, Spider*, riant* and Other Thing*. The business of telegraphing has its difficulties and is prolific of exas perations in this towu and country, with dead wires and live wires, crosses and tangles, cyclones and blizzards, and aurorus nnd “bugs." Telegraphic communication any where is subject to interruption from a hundred mid one causes, and few people who kick about the servico are aware of tho difficulties to be overcome in maintaining a perfect electrical circuit. But in the tropics the maintenance of a* telegraph lino in good working order is n constant u]> hill fight nguinstnll manner of in terrupting enemies that linemen and operators in this latitude uover dreiun of. In Brazil the wires get tangled up with the eableliko web of an im mense spider, which, dripping with dew or rain, makes cross connections, short circuits and 1 grounds almost dnily. Ants often destroy tho polos in a few weeks. Monkoys swing on tho wires nnd break them, and in the forests creepors and ropelike withes overgrow the poles and wires every few weeks. All this Ib more or loss true of all Central and South Amer ica. In Cuba thero is an orchid that in- crusts tho wire nnd causes leakage. Iu tlio West Indian islunds tho joint crows, or turkey buzznrds, make life miserable for tho telegraph and tele phono jtooplo. These big, heuvy birds, the scavengers, are ui;ound in great uumlters. They roost on the wiroB or fly up against them nud invuriu bly break them short off. In one largo towu the telephone lines that ran by tlio public market had to be put underground because tlio buzzards congregated there ii great nun bora, rested on tho wires nnd broke them almost nightly. On the pampus of Argentina the herds tf practically wild cattle rub and butt against the poles and frequently break them down. For some years it was altogether impossible to maintain a line of telo- gruph through Persia for more than a few days at a time. The natives regularly destroyed it us a device of the evil one. Finally tho shah issued an edict making the Iobs of an ear the penalty for a first offense of de stroying the telegraph line; the loss of n hand for the second, and doatb by being buried to the nock in the sand beside tho telegraph line tho penalty ' for a tliigd offense. One oared men were common in Persia for several years, for the shah was determined to introduce civilizing in fluences.—New York Bun.

Some sports took place at a station in upper Burmoh, one of the events being wbat is popularly known as a “Victoria Cross race;" that Is, the competitors have to ride some dis tance, taking two or three hurdles on their way, to a point where there ore arranged a number of figures in stuffed cases, shaped like human bodies; they then dismount, fire a round of blank cartridge, pick up a dummy each, and race back.
