PRICES RECETVED FOR LIT
ERARY WORK.


Probably no goods of any sort are
so uncertain in value as literary wares.
A work Of genius may bring fortune
TO its creator, and il may fail 10 keep
him from starving. One might infer
that luck rather than merit decides the
success of anauthor's adventure. How
ever at the present day, the owner of
an inspired pen and tolerablc degree
of shrewdness is more certain of profit
in transmitting his products into cur
rent coin than he has been in any age
before. Let us see how few distin.
guishcd writers of the past have Jared
in their efforts TO make riches as well
as fame out of their divine gift Of book
making; Milton received from his
publisher e5 down for paradise Lost,
and the munificcntpronisc of Go more
should the work reach n sale Of 1900
copies. Dryden was paid $4,000 fol
his translation of Virgil. Pope was
occupied the greater part of twelve
years in tnnslating the Iliad and
Odyssey For the one he received

KING KOFFEE'ls UMBRELLA

Among the trophies carried to Eng
land from the recent campaign against
the Ashantces was King Kofice's q
gantic and gorgeous state umbrella.
1t is made of black and crimson velvet,
trimmed with broad gold-lacc, and was
one of the most valued articles in the
Kings treasury, He would have sac
rificed q hundred wives TO ransom il,
and, il is said, felt more Inundated by
its loss than by the capture and de
struction of his capital The English
comic papers were mistaken in heap
ing ridiculc ON the umbrella trophy,
though il was, it must be confessed, a
very tempting subject for the satirist
and the caricaturists
This gorgeous umbrella is of great
size, and naturally attracts popular
curiosity. II has been placed on ex-
hibition at the South Kensington Mu-
scum, London, where il was subjected
to the eager scrutiny Of nearly twenty
thousand visitors in one day. Having
been presented to the queen as wal
trophy, it is not likely our great show
man will be able to secure it for exhi.
bition in this country, but il he could
it would doubtless draw immensely
TLensands would flocl< to see il where
ten would visit noble work of art
1t is doubtful whether il is of african
manufacture, Most probably it was
made by some white workman who
understood the barbaric love of bril-
liant colors and King Kofiee may yet
be consoled with another Of equal
splendor and amplitude.

Petty sin and unheard Of crime

Whatever tho peril, lot them rush
And hide In The shade Of tho whitewash brush.
With few quick strokes II covers shames,
Paints all fhirly the blacklist Of namet
Investigation II renders short

SARDINEs in CALIFoRNIA.--A new
branch Of industry has been opened in
San Francisco. The Hon. Thomas
Wand has built sardine factory at
the end of Trcadwell's wharf, near
Long Bridge. The head of the sar-
dimes are first cut off, and the fish are
cleaned with the knife, after which
they are cleaned by stream of water.
They are then salted, packed in per
forated cans, and put into steam chests
on trays. The cooking is done by
volume of dry steam, and occupies
about an hour. The next stage of the
process is packing them into the regu-
lar cans in which they are TO be sent
tomarket, and the olive oil is poured in,
after which they arcplacedin the steam
chests. Here they are thoroughly
heated, and small hole is punched in
each box to allow the escape of heated
air. When this is done the hole is
closed by the soldering iron, and the
sardincs are ready for market. The
fish are very plentiful, abounding from
San Diego to Puget Sound. Mr. Wand
has been paying fifty cents bushel for
them. The olive grows luxuriantly in
California, and the sardine trade will
open good market for the oil, the
most Of which is now imported from
Europe, Last year $4,000, 900 worth
of sardincs were imported to the

TRINITY CHURCH, OXFORD.
ursronrcAL PHILADELPHIA LANDMARKS.


From Frank Lsslie's Illustrated Newspaper.l
This is one of the oldest landmarks
in Philadelphia. A greater part Of the
present cdifice was built in 17l1--one
hundred and sixty-three years ago
but il is well known that there was a
church there as early as 1900 The
structure was built of logs, and at first
II was intended TO be used as Quaker
meeting house. The present building
is of brick, which were brought from
England, and ii is cruciform in shape.
In 1746 a fine large copy of the Bible,
with the Book Of Common Prayer
bound with it, and a beautiful CON-
munion set, were presented to the
church by Queen Anne, and they have
been in constant use ever since, and
are still in.good condition. The Rev.
Edward Y. Buchanan, ID. d., the pres
ent rector, is brother Of the late Ex-
President Buchanan. The graveyard
of this church is full of old-fashioned
gravestoncs bearing quaint inscriptions,
and some of them are almost illegible.
One dated 1908 contains several verses
of singular rhyme, The following is
an extract:
Here by these lines is testify'd
No Quaker was she when she dy'd;
So far was she from Quakerism,
That she desired 10 have baptism.

easier to pay six hundred millions of
taxes in 1865 than three hundred mill

Of this year. II is entirely safe to say
that families which were opulent then,
