Native Novels in Favor
What was the average character of the
books published last year Of the 8141
books issued in America how many de
serve to live The lists show that 1901
was not remarkable for the number of
its important original works Biography
was the strongest class of the year and
even the number of important biogra
phies was not large Tho truth seems
to be that although there are more
readers than ever before those readers
are wasting a good part of their time on
the most ephemeral of literature The
remarkable thing about the history of
fiction in 1901 was not the number of
great novels that appeared but the hun
dreds of thousands of copies of certain
books sold The pleasantest feature of
the situation is the fact that the cheap
British novel appears to be yielding its
place to the native novel which if no
better than the other is at least Ameri

How much does It take to change a

cents eh Not on your life It
takes seventy cents to do the trick
How many ways do you suppose a
quarter dollar can be changed Just
exactly Pleven A fellow of limited
means may like the jingle of coin in
his clothes In that event you can give
hm twenty five pennies or twenty pen
nies and one nickel lie may like to
have a little sprinkling of silver in his
clothes and you can accommodate him
with fifteen pennies and a dime or ten
pennies a dime and a nickel
If lie prefers to have change handy
for a beer and a car fare why fifteen
pennies and two nickels will fix him
up and if he wants a cigar in addition
besides having a little stock of cash
in his jeans give him ten pennies and
three nickels That makes six ways
Now then a fellow with a quarter can
trade it off for five pennies and two
dimes five pennies and four nickels
two dimes and one nickel one dime
and three nickels or five nickels just
as he prefers And to accommodate
him In any way that he might select

Poll ml Foolishness
One of the commonest forms of pound
foolishness is countenanced by many
high authorities This is the purchase
of certain household provisions in large
quantities Few writers on domestic
topics fail to lay stress upon the econ
omy of buying groceries in bulk That
sugar and flour potatoes and apples
should be bought by the half or whole
barrel cereals by the case butter by
the tub and other things in like propor
tion is one of the early precepts in the
Young Housekeepers Complete Guide
to Domestic Economy
The ignorant young things buy the
provisions first and the experience aft
erward The flour grows musty the
cereals develop weevils the potatoes
and apples rot long before they can be
eaten and the cook exercises a lavish
ness in the use of the butter and sugar
she would never show were they bought
in such limited amounts that the house
keeper could hold close watch over
them Evn after these events the
young mistress feels as if she were ab
solutely reckless and no manager at all
when she so far departs from house

LunollncHN uiul Health
A medical journal has of late been
discoursing on the indigestion of lone
liness By this title is meant to be in
dicated the disorders of digestion which
are believed to follow the practice of
taking ones meals in solitary state
The topic Is by no means an uninter
esting one Thousands of men and wo
men living alone are compelled to take
their meals for the most part without
company Week in and week out they
feed themselves without a soul to talk
to and the medical journal devotes its
energies to showing that the practice
is not one that is likely to be conducive
to digestion to proper bodily nourish
ment or to health The solitary man
soon tires of merely eating and if he is
not of a literary turn of mind his tend
ency is to hurry through his meals to
escape from his loneliness into the so
ciety of his fellow men nerein it is
held lies a danger to health
