The Uncanny Creation of Mary
Godwin Shelley.
MONSTER OF FRANKENSTEIN.
The Interesting Hittory of an Earlier
Day Novel That la Frequently Al
luded to tn Literature and at Time*
Quoted Incorrectly.
Everybody, or nearly everybody, has
beard of the novel of "Frankenstein,"
though It Is not probable that many
persons reail It nowadays. There are
so many allusions to It In our litera
ture, however, that one absorbs some
sort of notion of It so that he cannot
help knowing that It Is a weird and
ghastly story about a monster, but
whether or not Frankenstein Is the
monster even well Informed people do
not always know, showing- that they
never read the story.
Sometimes we hear allusions to
"Frankenstelitfs monster," as in on& of
Charles Sumner's orations, where he
speaks of the "soulless monster of
Frankenstein, the wretched creation of
mortal science without God," and some
times the reference Is to Frankenstein
only, as If he were the monster. Of
course Sumner, who was very particu
lar in his use of figures of speech, was
right. When Mrs. Deland In her novel
of "Sidney" makes Major I.ce say that
"Christianity Is a Frankenstein" she
Buffers the major to talk nonsense.
The story of this weird novel and the
circumstances under which It came to
bo written are decidedly Interesting
and may bo told in a few words. The
facts are as follows:
lu 1810 Mary Godwin, afterward
Mrs. Shelley, eloped with Shelley, and
they took up their residence uear Ge
neva. La Switzerland. They hnd Lord
Byron for a neighbor, and the throe
passed much time together. Their con
versation frequently ran on the occult
and the mysterious, and Byron one day
proposed that each should write a
ghost story. All agreed and went to
work, but It was uot long before the
two poets gave It up as a hopeless
task. They could write poetry, but
they could not write stories.
Mary persevered and completed her
tale In the spring of 1817. When By
rou aud Shelley heard It read they
were surprised and delighted. It was
bound to be the novel of the century!
The name of It was "Frankenstein; or.
The Modern Prometheus." It was Im
mediately sent to London for publica
tion and met with a great success.
Frankenstein Is a Swiss youth, n
student at the University of Ingol
stadt, deeply Interested In the study of
chemistry and natural philosophy. He
resolves to penetrate the mysteries of
life and death aud wrest from nature
the secret of creation. After prolong
ed study he succeeds and discovers
how to Impart movement aud anima
tion to lifeless matter.
He then resolves to mold a colossal
mau, making him beautiful In form
and feature and Imbue him with life.
He carries on his work in a studio far
from the habitations of man, labors
long aud secretly, aud at lust the worK
Is completed. There In the great room
Hob the form aud semblance of a hu
man being, perfect In all his propor
tions. Fraukeustelu relates the story:
"It was on a dreary night in Novem
ber that I beheld the accomplishment
of my tolls. With an anxiety that al
most ai-.ouuted to agony I collected
the Instruments of life around me that
I might Infuse a spark of being into
the lifeless thing that lay at my feet.
"It was already 1 o'clock in the
morning. The rain pattered dismally
agalust the window panes and my
candle was nearly burned out when,
by the glimmer of the half extinguish
ed light, I saw the dull yellow eye of
the creature open. It breathed hard,
aud a convulsive motion agitated Its
limbs."
Slowly the Immense creature arose,
unil the artist, frightened at his own
work, fled away. Then he returns to
find his ereatlon possessed of life and
every attribute of humanity except a
soul. Nowhere can It llnd human sym
pathy. It Is out of harmony with all
things about It, and after searching
the world In pursuit of happiness It
returns again to Frankenstein and de
mands that he mako a companion with
whom It can live In sympathy and
love.
Frankenstein declines, and thence
forth the monster pursues him with
hatred and revenge. It slays his broth
ers and sister, his friend and his bride.
It follows him to Russia, to Siberia
and Into the Arctic ocean, and there
creature and artist perish together. It
is a most uncanny story to read o'
nights.
Sir Walter Scott reviewed the novel
In the Quarterly, but, while admitting
Its power, confessed he did not like It
"Our taste and our Judgment revolt at
this kind of writing." All the critics
agreed as to Its daring originality.?

"How Is it?" asked the manager un

The conductor caught the pleading
eyes of the girl, but he had his duty to
perforin. He struck three notes on the
piano and left the rest to the manager.
The three notes were BAD.

DARING BELL RINGERS.
Pranks of the Athletio Young Span
iards of Seville.
There is n curious custom among tbo
young Spaniards of the city of Seville.
On certain fete days, related a tourist,
the young men of the place have per
mission to ring the bells in the clock
towers of the cathedral. They have an
Ingenious and original way of ringing
them. While the regular bell ringers
repose these amateurs climb up on to
the bells, throw them forward with all
their force and ride upon the bells in
their furious swinging to and fro. We
may Imagine what an uproar Is pro
duced when all the bells of a cathedral
are being treated in this manner. Any
man who Is able may exercise his skill,
and the duration of tho ringing de
pends upon the caprice or the strength
and patience of the ringers.
The spectacle Is very strange of the
great bells swinging, with one, two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
In any attitude which seems to them
best adapted to pushing out the most
noise. In the ftlralda, at Seville, the
flint time 1 witnessed this, the clamor
was frightful. When I looked up I
thought at first some unfortunate was
entangled In the bell rope, but I soon
fouud it was a matter of sport. An
other ringer appeared suspended In the
air, holding the bell by the ears or the
rim or the v.ooden framework and fol
lowing it In all its movements, some
times feet, sometimes head, dowuward.
Such are the daring bell ringers of Se
ville.
The Egyptisn Mummy.
Egyptologists have discovered that
among the ancient Egyptians the Invi
olate preservation of the body was
deemed absolutely essential to the cor
poreal resurrection of the dead. Ac
cording to the touching of the Egyptian
priests, the living uian consisted of a
body, n soul, an Intelligence and au ap
pearance called "Ka.? Death separat
ed these four parts, which must ulti
mately be reuulted for all eternity.
Between death on earth and life ever
lasting there Intervened a i?erIod of
several thousand years, during which
season the soul i>crformcd a painful
probationary pilgrimage through the
underworld. The l>ody In order that It
should await lutact the return of the
soul must meunwhlle be guarded from
all corruption; hence the custom of
embalming.
Man and His Tailor.
A man can be measured to the best
advantage, tailors say, away from a
glass. Standing before a mirror he Is
.almost certain to throw out his chest,
If he does not habitually carry It so,
and take nn attltudo that he would
like to hate rather than the one he
commonly holds, whereas the tulior
wants him, as the i>ortralt painter
wunts his subject. In hU natural pose
and manner. With the man lu that at
titude the tailor can bring his art to
bear. If that is required. In the over
coming of any physical defect and pro
duce clothes that will give the best at
tainable effect upon the figure as they
will be actually worn.? New York Sun.
Buckingham's Pranks.
After the defeat and flight of Charles
I. the daredevil Duke of Buckingham
disguised himself as a mountebank,
set up a stage In the heart of London
and for days laughed In the faces of
the stern Puritans, who were thirsting
for his life. One day when hla own
sister, the beautiful Duchess of Rich
mond, was passing the Jocular duke
set tho mob on to drag her from her
carriage. They forced her to witness
the pranks of her brother, whom she
recognized, but could not betray.
