No comPetent literary critic will feel inclined to deny that, hackneyed and commonplace though it has be- come by now, the most widely popu- lar and most influential novel the United States has yet produced, ,is "Uncle Tmo's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It has run through numberless editions in English and in other languages. It has been made into plays for the stage. It has been filmed for the moving pictures. And it has received the bitterest criticism as well as the warmest praise, as was to have been expected for so sincere- ly partisan a book. Its author was the daughter of the Rev. Lyman Beecher, a prominent congregational minister, and she was born at Litchfield, Conn., in 1812. Al- ways bright and clever she was a tea- cher at fourteen, and a writer for various, publications .soon afterwards. When she was in her twenty-first year Dr. Beecher was chosen presi- dent of Lane Theological Seminary at Cincinnati, Ohio, and there Harriet met Professor Calvin Stowe and was married to him in 1836. While living close to the Kentucky border, Mrs. Stowe became familiar with the slavery question and the of- ten terrible circumstances surround- ing it. In 1850, when residing in Maine, she became disturbed by the apathy with which the northern States considerel the African slavery problem, and wrote her novel to aw- aken the national conscience. At first as published in a Washington news- paper, The National Era, it attracted but little attention, As some how- food could be given in return. Often, ever, as it appeared in book form it just as in the Eldorado rush, trails were marked by skeletons of the un- Portuuate animals. THE IGUANA. A Species of Iesta d Which Inhabits the New World. The . average length of the Iguana, a species of lizard, is about four feet, but it often grows to six feet or mote. The head is large, and covered with large scales, The mouth is enormous- ly wide, and its edges are studded with peculiar notched teed},. It lives mainly in trees, and, although not a water lizard, it will dive and swim if frightened, beteg able to remain un- der water for an hour. • The Iguana does not strike one as being a tasty morsel, but its flesh 1s really very good to eat, and is said to taste like chicken. In the coun- tries where it lives a dish of Iguana cutlets is considered very fine. The female lays eggs, from which the young are produced, and she lays from four to six dozen. They are considered delicious eating. The fe- male covers the eggs with sand and leaves them to be hatched in the sun, On account of its usefulness as an article of food, the poor Iguana has a hard time of it, for its eggs are always being stolen from the warm bed in the sand where they are laid. It cannot run very fast, so it is eas fly captured, but its captors have to be very careful, for it bites Aereely and slashes its long, wicked tail about in a 'most frightening way. The Iguana feeds chiefly upon vegetable substances. It is easily tamed, in spite of its fierceness when chased. Like most other creatures, as soon as it finds someone who is kind to it, instead of wanting to eat it, it becomes quite gentle. Most wild creatures are like that. - They cease to be vicious when man ceases to be cruel. There are many kinds of lizards, varying in size from very small to very large. The real Iguana inhabits the New World. Most lizards are ex- tremely ugly in appearance, and the Iguana seems to know it, for when attacked he faces the enemy tend as- sumes a very threatening attitude. MEMORIALS TO MULES. Tablet Honoring 5,000 Animals That Figured in Klondike Stampede. The patient, toiling pack animals that lost their lives in the great Klon- dike gold rush some thirty years agd, have finally been•honored by a me- morial. Overlooking the grimly - named "Dead - horse Gulch,” at Inspiration Point qn the White Pass Railroad, Alaska, there was dedicated recently a bronze tablet, honoring the 3,000 animals that figured in the Klondike stampede. Paid for by old "sour- doughs," the tablet portrays a pack- horse and mule on the trail. It has been estimated that the average life of a horse or mule used in gold rush packing was five weeks. The odds were against a -longer span. The cold weather, one of the greatest hazards to all concerned, was prob- ably a new experience for the ani- mals, just as it was for the majority of miners. Great demands were made upon the'aniinals and little care and had a wide circulation, and was soon republished in. England.

"Agnes of Sorrento," and "The Min - the War and Navy Building in Wash- ister's wooing," also became popular. 'A number of religious poems appear - cd in. religious periodicals under her name and these she collected into a volume printed in 1864. The hymn "Knocking, knocking, who is there," is ,derived from one of these poems. There were several hymns in the. book, including the easily flowing one printed above. Mrs. Beecher Stowe had a brother, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn, who ranked with Spurgeon end,Talmage as one of the mightiest nonconformist preachers of his age. For his great congregation; Mr. Bee- cher, who had a keen critical appre- ciation of :;coon hymns, comp:?rd 1855, a special hymnbook, drawing his supplies from all available sour- ces.

To this writer it has always ap peared something like profanation to add words to music which its com- poser always intended should be sim- ple and tuneful, enough to convey its message without such 'accessories. But no time, either of a secular song, from an oratorio, or the setting of a Mese, is .secure `front adaptation to a hymn wltett compilersof hymn- books swish, to avoid monotony or to suit a peculiar metre. ` Many good people wnuid he startled if by change !;f time or harmony they were con- ffrontcd with the originals of sonic of their favorite sacred song tunes.

Pasadena Finally Found Way to Stop Their. Loud Conversation. Picturesque lily pools ornament the grounds of a ,famous hostelry in Pasedena, Cal In the lily pools are numerous large, deep -throated bull- frogs, picturesque enough by day but a thundering nuisance at night with their loud eonversation. Ducks were introduced-' but the rpw they made when they caught a frog too big to eat but too nice to let go proved worse than the hub- bub they were supposed to cure. Quackless Muscovy ducks were sub- stituted. These appeared to annoy the frogs considerably—but they ate more flowers and plants than frogs. A bounty of three cents was then offered to neighboring children -and more frogs tlian had ever been seen or heard in the country were speedily brought in as having been. extracted from the pools in the hotel grounds. A sharpshooter was the next ex- pertinent—but he woke up more peo.. ple than. the frogie Then the hotel manager read up "Frog" in all its aspects—and solved the problem. He strung an eleetric light over each pool (a good hurtle cane lamp serves equally well where electricity is not available), and be- hold! the baffled brutes henceforth have sat silently waiting for the darkness that never comes. TH1Fil >1JCYKtlS. Live In South American Jungles on Edge of Western Civilization. The Djukas are a strange and fas- cinating people living in primitive culture in the Sou,h American jun- gles on the edge of Western civilize ation. The Di:tkas, or Bush Negroes, are inhabitants of Dutch Guiana, and they are the descendants of slaves who won their independence 200 years ago from their Dutch masters. In.their peaceful villages of thatch- ed huts in the jungles, tileso primi- tive people live a contented life, ad- hering to customs centuries old. Only a few white men have penetrated the country, and fewer still have observ- ed closely the customs and the crafts- manship of the medicine, the religion and the form of government of this people: 'The Djukas do not welcome white intrusion and keep themselves so isolated from the affairs of the outside world that they first heard of the Great War from a scientific' expedition which visited them. Wearing only breechcloths and. communicating with each other in a language that is a mixture of Afri- can, Dutch, French and English, they go about finding their own living. Game, fish, oil-bearing nuts and a lit- tle fruit are furnished by the jungle. The land is fertile, and, although a terrific battle must be constantly - waged to `• keep back the ever- encroaching jungle and the.iusec:; and bird pests, each village has its 'little provision ground. This cultivated plot furnishes cassava, yams, peanuts and occasionally sugar - cane and peppers. Polygamy is still practiced by the Djukas: Nor have they bans against the marriage of a widow to her dead husband's brother. Strongly sugges- tive of the culture of the African jungles is the highly -developed sys- tem of drum telegraphy which is found among certain tribes of the Djukas. WATCH THE SPIDER. Are Quite Good Substitutes for Barometers. It Is not everybody who can afford to buy a barometer,' but no one who possesses even the smallest of back gardens need be at the mercy of the vagaries of climate. The discovery has been made that spiders are quite good 'substitutes for barometers, pro- viding one has time to study thein. Here are some hints as to how to "read" spiders in relation to the wea- tber: If your spider is lazy and sits 'com- placently thinking of those things that occupy the spider mind, then it is a sign that it is going to rain, but if 'it busies itself and runs here and there in the rain, fine weather is like- ly to follow soon. Before putting on the filmy frock, see if the spiders have made their .webs. with the filaments— the sup- porting "strands" so to speak --- shorter than usual:. If they have done so, don't wear anything that will spoil in the rain, for the weather will very probably prove to be un- pleasant. On the other hand, if these filaments are unusually long the sun will shine and a perfect day will result. For those romantic young people who are fond of moonlight walks, it should be pointed out that if they see a spider change the construction of its web between the hours of six and seven in the evening, they will not need an umbrella. These are the conclusions of one who ltas'made a study of the habits of spiders for years, AN UNSUNG HERO. Although Sailor Could Not Swim He Gare Li.febeit to Roy. A stranded wreck being smashed to pieces within sight of a village of weeping fishermen and their wives. A crew of nine clinging to the main- ! mast waiting for death to claim them. That was an experience. which will remain in my memory forever, writes a London Chronicle contributor. It happened when I was cabin -boy in a small coasting craft. Unable to wea- • ther Land's End, she lost most of her sails and was being driven, help - le s and waterlogged, nearer and nearer the livid streak of fury that ' marked the dreaded Doom Bar. 1 It was my first voyage, and the fear of death lay heavy upon me. Our skipper had gone overboard, and the chief mate working like. a Tro- Jan was everywhere at once, order -.entreating, cheering and curs- ' ing. He found time to notice me 'lugging the mainmast and drenched to the skin. "Keep your courage up, kid, t'll meet you ashore," he shout - .1 ed..I told him I could not swim a stroke. i Seeing I was unprovided with a lifebelt he insisted on my donning i his, I never saw him again. In a few miuutes the ship went to pieces. Later I was told he also could not I swim. INTERESTING ,STATISTICS. A STRANGE JOB. Do You Snow That the World's An i nual Income Is $167,500,000? l This astonishing fact is revealed by the report of a German bank, which has been studying world statistics for six years. Other interesting points from this report are: The world is drinking more milk and more tea, more coffee, . but less eocoa. We eat less bread, and fruit and vegetables are taking its place. We are smoking ; less tobacco, in spite of the large increase In women smokers: In England there are thirty- .five people to every, motor -ear. In Amer- ica one person in five is the proud possessor of a car, One hundred' and ` seventy -throe thousand . totes of artificial silk are Used annually for the manufacture of ladles' stockings.
