HIS FIRST RECOGNITION
The Turning Point In the Career of
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The first reading of The Scarlet
Letter has been told In T W Higgin
Bona book of essays Coiiteuij pa
ries The reading was given to nu
authors dourest critic his wife Dur
ing the entire winter when he was al
work- upon the book lie seemed op
pressed by some secret anxiety
There was a knot in his forehead
nil the time said Mrs Hawthorne
Finally one evening he went to her
nnd said that he had written sonic
thing which lie would like to read
aloud The work amounted to very
little but still he would like to read il
All that evening he read but as the
romance was unfinished at bedtime hi
wife made no comments knowjug that
he disliked criticism until one had
heard the whole
The next night he read again and
now her suspense grew so unendura
ble that In the midst of a moving
scone she sank from her low stool t
the floor pressed her hands to hei
cars and declared that she could not
bear to bear it
Hawthorne pur down the manuscript
and looked at her in amazement
Do you really feel It so much he
asked Then there must be some
thing in It
The nest day the manuscript was
delivered to the publisher and ou the
following morning James T Fields
the publisher appeared at the authors
door When he was admitted he
caught the little boy of the family in
his arms and asked You splendid lit
tle fellow do you know what a father
you have
He had sat up all night to read the
manuscript and had posted out to Sa
lem in the early morning After his
interview with the publisher Haw
thorne came dowustalrs with a firm
step and walked about his face illu
mined by new hope and vigor The
world bad found him out Recogni
tion was at the door
THE CAMEL
Characteristics of the Patient Strong
and Useful Animal
As far back as the middle of last
century General von Moltke in his de
scriptive letters from Asia Minor had
many good words to say about the
camel This animal he said can
carry a burden of nearly GOO pounds
and is used by the nomads aud Ara
bians in taking their women children
old men tents food water etc from
place to place It is able to withstand
a march of ten days without drink
and a fifth stomach ever reserves a
drink for its master in an hour of ex
treme distress The hair of the camel
is used for clothing and tents The
milk and flesh are healthy It exists
on the most miserable food such as
grass and thistles Such are the char
acteristics of this patient strong de
fenseless and most useful of all ani
mals
A camel is never relieved of its load
from the beginning of the journey to
its end It eats walks aud sleeps un
der its burden often for weeks at a
time The training of a camel is no
easy matter as it takes about three
years to teach it to bend the knees in
order to be loaded and unloaded
While as the time passes the camel
will not be able to withstand the keen
competition of the new railways which
are piercing every part of Asia Minor
yet thanks to the power of tradition
over the Turkish inhabitants of the
country and their fondness for these
animals the caravan routes today are
still able to hold their own side by
side with the Anatolia Cassaba and
Aden railways Hundreds of camels
pass over the caravan bridge into the
city of Smyrna every day and in the
market place in front of the mosque of
Mohammed at Constantinople many
camels may still be seen Philadelphia

Not Since the Flood
Sir Henry Irving once received what
he at the time considered a very pal
pable snub delivered him by a high
lander While touring in Scotland the
actor visited some of the notable tradi
tionary scenes associated with Shake
spearean drama As a matter of
course one of the first pilgrimages was
to the blasted heath where Macbeth
met the witches In an agreeable
mood Sir Henry as they drove along
turned smilingly to his driver
Are there any witches about now
he asked
The driver whipped up his horses
Not since the flood he replied in
his curt Scots way

The professor happened in at the
doctors the other morning and found

SHOOTING WHALES
Modern Whalers Use a Cannon and an
Explosive Harpoon
WhaIng with modern methods In
Alaskan waiters Is an exciting game
especially for those who are new to
the business The modern whaling
steamer Is a little vessel almost round
on the bottom which enables it to be
turned and managed with the greatest
ease Mounted at the bow Is a small
cannon thin shoots a harpoon weigh
ing more than 100 pounds and having
an explosive head called the bomb
If the shot is good and the harpoon
Is planted squarely behind the tin the
bomb crashes into tin lungs killing In
stantly if not the struggle 111113 Inst
for several hours
After a whale has been killed the
carcass Is brought alongside the boat
and Inflated so that It will float A
long coil of rubber hose one end of
which Is attached to a pump and -the
other to a hollow spear pointed tube
of steel with perforations along its
entire length is used for this purpose
The spear is thrust well down into
the whales side the air pump started
and the body slowly filled with air
When inflated enough to keep it afloat
the tube is withdrawn the incision
plugged with oakum and the carcass
cast off A buoy with a tlag is at
tached to the body aud it is then set
adrift to be picked up at the end of
the days hunting
The whaHng station is a group of
buildings situated In a bay or cove
near enough to the feeding grounds to
allow the steamer to come in each
night with the days catch The
whales are anchored at a buoy in front
of a long inclined platform upon
which they are drawn tail first by
means of a steam winch
The saying tluft every part of The
pig but the squeal is now of market
value is also a fact with the whale
Not a particle of the animal is wasted
After tue skeleton is stripped of flesh
It is disarticulated and the bones chop
ped in pieces
The blubber is tried out for oil and
the meat and bones are boiled for the
same purpose Later tue tiesn is arn
for fertilizer Even the blood Is boiled
storm of rain came on aud as there
was no shelter on the moor the shoot
ers got thoroughly drenched through
At least all but one suffered the pro
fessor He had mysteriously disap
peared when the rain came on and he
did not rejoin the party until the sun
was shining once more To the amaze

In Bed With a Snake
For one thing East Africa must have
credit snakes are not numerous as
they are in the south at least I never
have seen many There are pythons
but they do not appear to be danger
ous I shall never forget how down in
South Africa during the war 1 once
awoke and found a black mwamba in
bed with me The snake is absolutely
deadly It frightened me so that after
the whole thing was over I went out
and was sick Fortunately I was quite
ignorant of the fact that it was under
the blankets with me and rolled out
unconcernedly Had I known it was
there in all probability it would have
struck me Forest and Stream
