still contrived to keep them up to the

Wrltlaq a Book.
The following confession of a novel­
ist as to the method In which he wrote
one of his books Is not without Inter­
est. He had had the story outlined In
hls notebook for a long time and ought
to have been able to write It, but did
not feel able. Then one day he hap­
pened to think of it again and saw, al­
most as if it had been a stage scene,
the little tableau with which the book
was to close—otic of those ends which
are also a beginning. So he began to
work and in a short time had complet­
ed tlie first three chapters. Thon, for
no reason that he can give, there was a
jump, and he wrote the chapters which
are now numbered XXI aud XXII, the
last in the book. Then he went back i
and wrote straight on from IV to XVII.
The story hud been with him so long
that It was the easiest thing in the
world to write It, and so he got through
this part of the work with remarkable
celerity. In the eighteenth chapter
nothing happens. Every day for a
fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried
to write that chapter; every night he
tore up a big pile of manuscript which
he knew to be hopelessly bad. Then
be got desperate. The chapter should
be written nnd should stand, whether
good or bad. He wrote It and left the
bouse because It was bad and he had
resolved not to tear It up. Next day
be wrote chapter XIX. and on the mor­
row he rewrote chapter XVIII and
somehow or other contrived to get Into
It all that he had failed to get before.
Then he wrote chapter XX. nnd the
book was completed.—London Post.
THE V7IDOW TAX.
la klndauuo a W lie's Death C osts
the Widower One Hondred Plates.
Becoming a widow or a widower Is a
much more serious business thau get­
ting married among some of the tribes
lu the Philippines. In Mindanao “mar­
rying in haste” often leads to a pro­
longed "repenting at leisure,” for they
have an institution, there known as the
"widow tax"--“chabaloan” the natives
call it. I pun the death of the wife the
widower must pay a certain sum of
money or Its equivalent lu goisls to hit
father-in-law before* he can go a court
Ing agaiu. As money is a scarce article
among these natives, the tux generally
is paid in plates of commou “atone chi­
na." whlch’are much used by the na­
tives as a medium of exchange. It Is
considered the proper thing for the be­
reaved om* to pay Its) of these plates to
hls father-ln law for permission to look
about him for a successor to the de­
ceased helpmate.
If the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property of her par-
ents-in-law ami so remains for life tin
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number of din
ner plates. The natural result of this
is that married people are all extreme­
ly solicitous for the health of each oth­
er. In sickness the Invalid Is sedulous­
ly attended by the partner of his or
her Joys nud sorrows, the well person
perhaps lteiug moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates thau
by real affection.
Divorce Is unknown among these peo­
ple, but a man may have as many
wives as lie pleases. It will be seen
that in ease of an epidemic which
would sweep away lii.s wives a married
man would be in dire extremity. In
the case of a death of a much married
man hls parents come Into a small for­
tune, for they either have enough
slaves to render future work on tiielr
part unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families of the widows
to set up a crockery store.
DWARFING AN OAK TREE.
The .lapnneae Trick by Which It 1«
A «-coin |>l la II rd.
The Chabo Hiba, a dwarf Japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for $1.200.
It is six feet high and alleged to be 850
years old. It has long been supposed
that the process by which Japanese
gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest
trees wits a long and costly one. It is
now said that It is u simple process and
that any one can do the trick. The fol­
lowing directions are given for produc­
ing a miniature oak tree:
Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with n rich mold
and plant an acorn in tlie center of It.
leaving the hole lit the rind for it to
sprout through Put it In a sunny place
ami water It frequently. Soon after
the first shoots have appeared the roots
begin to break through tlie orange skin.
Take a sharp knife and shave these off
carefully and keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six Inches
high and then slop. In a year It will
be a perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
should be varnished over and imbed­
ded In a flowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kluds of trees
and make them live to u great age.
Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
Hiba. are well known, and their own­
ers have documentary evidence attest­
ing their great age
The older they
are the more valuable, of course, they
are. In Japan certain families follow
the calling, trade, art, or what you will,
of growing dwarf trees from genera­
tion to generation, and you can buy a
miniature oak 500 years old from a de­
scendant of tlw man who first planted
the acorn. Not only forest trees, but
fruit trees and flowering shrubs, are
dwarfed by these clever gardeners.

“No man can ever hope to be a strong
swimmer unless he cultivates the pow­

professional. "It costs me no more
exertion to swim for an hour than it

“In swimming a man should time his

Daly’s liupecanloun Employee.
The late Augustin Daly had In his

for an advance of money. This note
was invariably answered by a most
abusive letter, in almost Insulting terms
and threatening Instant discharge If
the offense was ever repeated—nnd In

At regular Intervals of about three
