By J. B. Ziegler.
Out of the Inclination of my heart,
I would fain, in the way of. diversion
from the slow moving subject of the
latest phases of my commercial termi
nal propaganda, offer a few personal
Impressions on the discussion of the
"six best novels."
I have from my earliest years been
a more or less devoted reader of nov
els. According to an old formula
which perhaps some aged reader may
remember, I read the Bible, one chap
ter on week days, two on Sunday, be
fore I was 7 years old. It required
the constant oversight of my solici
tous mother to win on that venture.
I am not. however, including the Bible
in the list of the "six best." But I
see no reason why my next venture
in literature immediately afterwards,
'Pilgrim's Progress," should not enter
the list. Following the clue I would
a'.so name Swift's ''Gulliver's Travels."
Third, I should indorse a choice of
the selected Jury "Robinson Crusoe"
without analysis or discussion, mere
ly because the fact is that English
readers have so established it, and I
respect the Judgment of a race above
that of any critic. The intimate place
it has in my heart because It was my
third Incursion Into the delights of
literature possibly also has its weight.
Ziast Three Harder.
Thus are three easily named. I must
prod my memory for the other three.
I have not read "Tom Jones." "Vanity
Fair" is good and the critics may be
right, but I will pass that and for my
fourth choice take "David Copperf ield."
leistering my personal Impression
with the fact that it is also the fourth
choice of the bench of critics, but what
is more, it also has the indorsement of
the race of English readers.
In fifth choice Is Meredith's "Rich
ard Feverell." I know that It is grave
ly handicapped by Meredith's intellect
ual cynicism, and Its turgid content of
epigrammatic philosophy but these are
very brilliant and profound, and there
are pages here and there in which the
human element comes to the fore with
a rush that breaks down all barriers.
The page or two which depicts Lucy's
attempt to detain Richard from the
affair of the duel, and in which, hav
ing exhausted all the- store of woman's
logic, and appeal for the child In the
cradle, throws aside all restraint, and
in a full flow of wifely passion,
charges his hesitating front with all
the seduction with which Nature has
armed wife and courtesan, and In the
wife, charged the batteries with a
sacred nobility can not be surpassed. I
would quote the gesture and tlie words,
but they are not to be profaned by
secular use.
Throb With Heart's Blood.
Suffice It to say that her words
throb with her heart's blood. This Is
no careless or pretentious phrase, for
Lucy, having cast all her womanhood
irto this appeal, and failed never cares
to speak again, and goes rapidly to
her grave with that old fashioned and
fetal malady, a broken heart, while
TUchard goes on to his "field of honor"
but ceases from that moment to be
a figure of Interest. Her tragic effort,
however, . .conquers her old time ene
mies, the' aristocratic females of Rich
ard's lordly house, for the leader of
them can find no rest afterwards, ex-
the three best debaters In college.
She was a member of the team last
year which defeated Vassar. She is
a member of Tau Zeta Epsilon. an
jshonorary society whose members are
chosen from the most prominent girls
in college.
Frances Baltes was recently elected
to Phi Sigma, one of the honor socle
ties. She also has on of the major
parts in the play which Is to be given
by the "Barnswallows," an organiza
Medusa", a marble bust on view at the Portland

i
of the subject, give it color and Indi
viduality. With a steady purpose, the sculptor
presents, In this bust, the likeness of
a young girl, whose thin, pale face,
with its frame of curling locks and
braids, has a strange, frail beauty of
form. The title, "Medusa," hints of the
tragic implications felt In delicate
weakness and makes the spectator
wonder if the old Gorgon herself was
an unconscious and unwilling bearer of
doom to others. Mr. Salvatore has a
number oi works at the San Francisco
exposition.

cept with her hands engaged In some
useful work, and she. In her peni
tence, says of Lucy: "She was the
noblest creature that ever God
breathed the breath of life into."
For my sixth, I will waive my patri
otic desire to honor Mark Twain or
any American. Mark never learned or
cared to write a novel. His cup Is full
without that honor. So I will be true
to mine own heat, and name Du Maur-
ier"s "Peter Ibbetsen" for sixth place.
ueorge s iriiby" is no doubt a bet
ter and more famous story, and has
teen much affected by the same de
cadent Bohemianism. which in Amer
ica's hypocritical literary clique has
t amed "The Scarlet Letter" as one of
the immortal six. But Peter Ibbet-
sen set all her strings of my being to
vibrating, and held them so through -
out. I do not know whether there is
that universality of appeal which con-
stitutes the great novel, or whether
is due to a personal idiosyncracy, but
thjs I know, that no other novel I have
read, sustained throughout this vi
brant quality for me as did Peter
Ibbetsen.
Sufficient for Story.
And there are my best six English
novels not the best novels printed in
English, for that would let in a lord-
ly procession of the realms of the
heart Tolstoy and Turgenieff, Balzac
and Maupassant, Boccacio, Cervantes
and Le Sage, Goethe with his Wilhelm
Meister and Werther, Gautiers' Cap
tain Fracasse, and Marlon Lescaut and
Paul and Virginia, and poor J. J. Rous
seau's masterpieces, still acknowledged
to be of the royal and regnant blood,
though the piteous author's claims for
fame rest upon the fact that he was
the father of the political theory which
gave our republic form and which for
150 years has, in theory at least, dom
inated civilization.
Strange, Is it not, that the same
spirit could reign over two worlds so
diverse as politics and fiction? Here
is a text, but sufficient unto Itself
for a story.
Is not the European cataclysm but a
trial whether tho madman Nietzsche's
claims to be the Anti-Christ Is true?
He claimed to be the Anti-Christ who
had dashed Christ from the pedestal
of spiritual supremacy, which he had
for 2000 years so unworthily occu
pied. So said Neitzsche.
M Among the Six Best."
By William T. Foster.
It is Impossible for me to
six novels which in my Judgment are
better than any others in general, for
the worth of a novel, from my point of
view, depends on the good It can do
to the one who reads it. Novels,
therefore, vary greatly in their worth.
Some are, of more value for some
people, others are of greater value
for other people, a few are of great
value to young people, some strong i
I may say. however, that, In my Judg-
ment the ioilowing six novels
among the best ever written:
"Hard Cash" by Charles Reads.
"Vanity Fair" and "Pendennis" by
Thackeray.
"The Tale of Two Cities," by Dick
ens. "The Scarlet Letter." by Hawthorne.
"Ivanhoe." by Sir Walter Scott.

belongs.
Princeton.
Princeton, N. J., Nov. 27. Accord
ing to a special survey recently made
for the trustees of Princeton uni
versity, that inatitution during the
past 10 years has not only doubled its
Investment in buildings and equip
ment, but at the present time Is spend
ing on its teaching staff over twice
the amount spent for similar purposes
a decade ago.
Ten years ago the estimated cost
of Princeton's buildings was $3,238,840.
Since then 19 new structures costing
$4,157,480 In all have been erected.
All of the sums expended In the
erection of these structures were spe
cial contributions on the part of
friends of Princeton, none of the uni
versity's Invested funds nor any of the
amount recelrad from tuition fees and
the usual sources of Income having
been devote? to building purposes.
Ten years. ago Princeton had a fac
ulty of 10 teaghers whose combined
salaries amounted $156,135 yearly. At i
the present: time the faculty numbers
195 and the budget for this teachins
staff now amounts to $401,310.
This survey makes it evident that
the cost of educating young men at
present has mounted much more rap
Idly than has the number of students,
the salary roll having doubled in 10
years while the enrollment increased
from 1374 tio 1643, or slightly less than
20 per cent for the decade. This in
crease in salaries for the teaching staff
has not meant any marked increase
in average salaries, a fact which the
university authorities point to with
regret. In the past 10 years a profes
sor's average has increased from $2967
to $3343, or lesB than 13 per cent while
assistant professors now receive an
average salary of $1950 or only three
per cent miore than was paid 10 years
ago.
Oberlin College
Oberlin, Ohio, Nov. 27. In his an
nual report to the Oberlin trustees.
President Henry C. King reviews the
general financial situation. Among
other items he pays special attention
to the bequest of Charles M. Hall of
Niagara Falls. The greatest single
event of the year, of course, has been
Mr. Hall's bequest of approximately
$J, 000. 000. 3'his includes gifts of land
for arboretum, forestry and park pur
poses: gifts of valuable art objects;
tlie gift of $500,000 for an auditorium,
and $100,000 for endowment of this
building: a gift of $200,000 for the en
dowment of the campus and other
college grounds and of the arboretum,
forest reserve, and park; and the pe
culiarly gratifying gift of $200,000 for
endowment purposes. The art objects
given to Oberlin include the best four
paintings In Mr. Hall's house, his an
tique Chinese porcelains, and 50 of the
choicest rugs of his very valuable rug
collection.

African Butter Tree.
One shea tree beside each man's back
porch would cut a big slice of butter
off the monthly food bill. In Africa
vegetable butter Is made from the fruit
of this tree, and it is said to be of
richer taste than any butter made from
cows' milk alleged or actually scraped
from a churn and squeezed into the
wooden mold which leaves a yellow
rosebud on top of the cake. The Arabs
used it in early times, but the Greeks
and Romans did without It. used oil,
and consequently wore purple silk
togas.

Toadstools
How to identify Them.
University of Washington, Seattle,
Nov. 27. Edible mushrooms, and their
deadly cousins which are commonest
hereabouts are set forth In a "faculty
chat" by Professor John W. Hotson
of the botany department, which Is in
i part as follows:
How can I distinguish a toadstool
from a mushroom? Is there any rule
these forms? Is a common question at
this season. '
There la no scientific distinction be
tween the expressions "toadstool" and
"mushroom." "Toadstool" is not a
bontantical term, but merely a popular
name to designate poisonous mush
rooms. There is no rule bv which an ama
teur or anyone else can distinguish the
edible from the poisonous form. All
popular rules suggested for this pur
pose are unreliable made general.
i The only sate way Is to become fa-
.miliar with certain definite specie
authoritatively pronounced edible. The
' edible fungi found conunonly hers are
! as . t,ollow,: .
. AU Puff balls are edible, some Of
tnem belne among tno moet delicious
or the food species. When the spores
( ripen, however, becoming brown or
black,-they are past the edible stage.
D-asfTy asanas ra.
All the ciavarlas (white or pink.
erect, branching tree-like or coral
like fungi) that are not bitter or tough
are edible.
The Morel Is are edible, not one being
even suspicious. They are not aill
fungi, but more or less club-shaped in
form with deep depressions all over the
surface.
The "shaggy mane" (Coprimus coma
tus) is one of our commonest edible
species and i especially tender and of
delicate flavor. It is somewhat cluo
shaped or cylindrical In form when
young. When mature It is readily dis
tinguished by deliquescent gills, whi.-h
produce a black. Inky liquid.
The common cultivated mushrooms
have pink gills, which become purplish
brown or black at maturity. The stem
Is marked by a ring or annulus.
They are found growing In meadows

and open fields, seldom. If ever, in the
woods.
Avoid Waits Xosarooma.
In general, then, avoid all whits
spored forms because the most poison
ous species belong to this group.
Persons poisoned by mushrooms
should call a doctor promptly, but
home treatment while awaiting his sr.
rival Is possible. The first tep should
be to take an emetic. Mustard and
water or warm salt water will serve.
After that the victim ahould take
whiskey or sweet oil. Vinegar Is a
fair substitute for whiskey. When
ever possible tlie doctor should be ap
prised, when called, of the occasion
for the illness. Hypodermic Injections
of atropine are frequently employed
by physicians In such cases.
SCALLOPED DISHES
Here are several excellent sugges
tions for preiaring scalloped dishes.
Prepare crumbs for scalloped dishes
from the tnstde of bread that ts (tale,
but not hard and dry.
Crumb the bread by grating or rub
bing two pieces together.
Add crumbs to melted butter, using
one teaspoon butter, one cup crumbs.
For savory dlt-hes, season each cup
cf crumbs with one-eighth teaspoon
salt and a sprinkling of white or cay
enne pepper.
Butter baking dishes or shells.
Place food material In two layers,
t'slng one-fourth amount of crumbs
on bottom of dish, then half of food
material, one-fourth more of crumbs
in middle, remainder of food material
and remaining half of crumbs on top.
Add liquid before adding top layer
of crumbs.
Fear or Faith.
Little MargJ hud heard her Sunday
school teacher speak of bu.ksllders and
backsliding, anil one mlny Subbath
morning her mother thought it best for
her not to attend Sunday school.
"But I've Junt got to go, inainms,"
said Margie. "Teacher says If we do
not come every Sunday our backs will
slide."
