Writers Worldly Affairs.

Years ago, when Whittier was not as
popular as he is now, while walking one
day on Cornhill he met Muzzey, the pub
lishss and pill-seller. After some con.
versation Muzzey proposed to pay him
$500 for the copyright of his productions
and percentage on the sales. Mr.. Whit
tier was vastly astonished, but consented
to the arrangement. Muzzey brought
out the hitherto addressed and obscure
children of the poets brain, which he
picked up here and there, in neat and at
tractive shape. The sales which imme-
diately followed astonished nobody so
much as the poet himself, but he gradu-
ally reconciled himself to them. When
Muzzey died Ticknor and Fields pro-
posed an arrangement with Mr.. Whittier
which was agreed to, and the blue and
gold edition was the first result. The
books were very profitable to the pub
fishers, and might have brought some
thing to Mr.. Whittier but for the fact
that the copyright he had sold for $500 to
Muzzey cost him 81 200 to buy back and
thus all the profits ON this edition were
lost. MIR. Whittier obtained little or no
money from his poetry before the advent
of "Snowbound," which he himself con-
siders very Indifferent bit of versifica-
ton, its sudden popularity being one of
the greatest surprises of his life. One
day Mr.. Brainard paid him visit and
found his house newly painted and i'm
proved. Looking about him, Mr.. Brain
ard remarked, ut is evident that poetry
has ceased to be q drug in the market"
The next morning Mr.. Whittier's answer
came. It was in the winter, and as the
poet went up to the fire to warm his
boots preparatory to pulling them on, he
said: Thee will have to excuse me, for l
must 60 down to the Office of the col
lector." Then, with humorous CLEAN
in his eye he added: ''Since 'Snowbound'
Was published, have risen to the dignity
of an income tax"

insects which, if left alone, would accom-
p!ish the wished-for destruction. Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., of this city, gave
the birds credit for doing some good, but
thought that they often ate the buds Of
fruit trees, and he said that in Egypt they
are wasteful and devourers of graio. 1t
may be added that DR.. Elliott Coues, one
of the most practical ornitho.ogists in
this country, advises that the English
sparrows be exterminated.
1t does not follow even from the
weight OF testimony that these birds
should be hastily condemned, at least not
without hearing in their defence. In
this city they certainly add pleasing
picture of life to our public squares and
even to our sombre brown-sto lined
streets, which without them would have
only human inhabitants. If they are not
wanted in smaller places, the local au-
thorities may dispose Of them; but we
scarcely think that popular vote would
Danish them from our borders.-N. ?.

THE INDIANS SnoT.-President Hayes,
speaking of the proposition to introduce
Indians in the army, doubted if it could
be done to any great extent. He added :
had three Indians in my corps. As
scouts they were unequalled. We could
do nothing with them as soldiers. They
would not drill, they would not keep
rank, they would do nothing except in
their wild Indian way. We were troubled
by q sharp-shooter who had picked of
our men, and we could not reach him. l
sent for one of these scouts. lie came to
my camp in slouchy way, seemed half
asleep, and was wholly Indifferent. When
l told him what wanted, his face glowed,
his eyes sparkled, and he Strengthened
himself up like crested snake ready to
strike, rolled his trousers up to his thighs,
his sleeves to his shoulder blades-tO be
as much of savage as possible. He
took bis rife, several rounds Of ammu-
milton, threw himself on the grass before
there was any need of it, and wound him
self along with the velocity and silence Of
Il snake. Three shots brought the sharp
shooter down, when the scout returned
perfectly exhilarated.

Throw ing old shoes After a Bride.

The editor Of the Philadelphia Ledger
explains that the slipper or shoe is popu-
larIy supposed TO lie thrown for good
luck, and in some parts of Europe the
custom is TO throw it after sailors about
to go on a voyage, and after all who
enter on perilOus enterprises, such as
marriage. A writer in Notes and Queries
traces it back to the Jews, where il had
different meaning, symbolizing trans
fer of authority or dominion. Refer
enccs to this custom may be found in
Psalm tx, Psalm cix.. and Deut. XIV. He
supposes that the receiving of shoe was
an evidence and symbol of asserting or
accepting dominion or ownership; the
giving back shoe the symbol Of reject
ing or resiguingit.
lie thinks that originally the throwing
of the shoe after the bride was symbol
that the father or guardian renounced his
authority over her, and the receipt of the
shoe by the bridegroom, even if acct
dental, was an omen that that authority
was transferred to him. There is no
doubt that such was sometimes the mean.
ing of the transfer of shoe. It is related
by Danish poet that Norwegian King
in the eleventh to the twelfth century,
having conquered portion of Ireland
and Scotland, sent to Ireland his dirty
shoes and commanded the King,
who lived there, "to wear them with
honor on Christmas day in his royal
state, and to own that he had his power
and kingdom from the Lord of Norway
and the Isles" If such was the original
meaning of shoe-throwing, it has now
lost its significance. Instead of one
shoe, dozen or more are thrown, and in
some countries wheat, rice, etc., accom-
pany or take the place of old shoes. The
supposed meaning to-day is that the shoe
thrown after newly unmarried couple will
give them good luck.

USING STRAW FOR FUEL.-The Russian
Mennonite settlement in Nebraska has
taught Americans one trick worth know
ing, at least. Usually in the prairie
States Of the West there is considerable
suffering in extremely cold weather from
lack of fuel. Farmers have been known
to burn their corn, from necessity. Peo-
ple have frozen TO death in some of the
terrible prairie s,orms. But the Mennon-
ties introduced simple furnaces for burn
ing straw. One Of these furnaces only cost
five dollars fer the iron work. the rest
