character and quality of their goods,

| London, Messrs. NEwBERRY, in st.
Paul's C~hurchyard. Having a leisure
hour, l WAS determined to examine the
contents of this case, myself, and l was
surprised to see the delicate perfection
to which they have brought their
household remedies. l was chagrined at
the reflection that, while we have at home
the most skillful and prominently
the best physicians in the world, these
Yankee doctors distance us so far in
the line of popular medicines for fam
lily use. They have the sharpness to
take advantage of the high scientific
discoveries among us and make pills
and potions as palatable as they are
salutary. 1t was told by a leading
druggist in Philadelphia that DIR. Ayers

George Eliot wrote with agolden pen.
For her "Middlemarch" she is said TO
have received $4,000 on the delivery of
the manuscript, and for "Daniel De-
ronda' $4,000, besides a percentage,
which probably yielded her $4,000
more. She was "a hard worker, spend
ing seven or eight hours-a day at her
desk, though from forty to sixty lines Il
day she considered an ample ''output."
She was slow and methodical in work
ing, alwas preparing her plots and even
her narratives in her mind, so that put
ting them On paper was merely a trans
cription. When she had completed a
book she invariably suffered from fits
of nervous depression, which were only
relieved by travel and change of scene.

ABOUT EDIToRs.-Every editor
loves to have his friends, and par
ticularly his readers, call on him.
They belong to the same family,
as it were. But when you call TO
see the editor don't stay too long.
Editors are generally very busy
in business hours. If you have
any suggestions to make O: news
to communicate, state it in as few
words as possible. Don't offer any
excuses or indulge in long pre-
face to what you have to say:
Blurt it right out; tell the editor
you wish him we'll, and bid him
good-day. Editors dote on such
men as that; they love to receive
calls from them. Don't argue with
them don't try to do it; be has
no time for argument while at his
work.
When you write to an editor for
publication, make it short-b@! it
down. Pitch right into the mid
die Of your subject, and be sure to
stop writing when you are
through. Editors always like
something fresh and original in
the way of communications, and
are especially fond of news. But
the editor must always be the
Judge of what is worthy of publ
cation. OF course every writer
thinks his own production the
best, just as every mother thinks
her baby the prettiest that ever
was born. But the editor may be
so stupid as to have a different
opinion. If so, it can't be helped.
Don't try TO argue him out of his
notion. If he is too stupid to ap-
preciate a good thing, you can't
expect to remedy his dullness.
You may think you are a good
deal smarter than the editor, and
that may be true, but the editor
may be responsible and you are
not. There is no class Of people
so covetous Of good opinion OF
others. 1t is well to remember
that fact.-Printer's Circular.

before the policeman turned to the
two women.
He's pretty bad, he said. They'll

crazy to doubt you, and then she
wrung her hands and cried : oh,
Dick, for just a paltry bit Of
money! and so she knelt beside
the pale face upon the pillow and
kissed it, and called it tender
names.
And Dick, never guessing her
suspicious of him, whispered:
I was so afraid he'd get off with
it if he killed me, Granny, and you
in such high hopes last night
He did not know what she meant
by begging him to forgive her. It
would have Jared i'll with him if he
had, for he WAS very near death.
But Dick did not die. He got
well at last, and came back to the
little shop; and though Granny
Briggs had her savings, she never
went to the Old Ladies Home for
long before she died, Dick was one
Of the most prosperous merchants
in the city; and his handsome home
was hers, and she was very happy
in it.-Prlmitive Methodist.

THE MOTHER RULES THE WORLD.
1T is hard for a young mother,
who has not yet overcome the
wayward tendencies of her own
youthful nature, to realize the IN
fuence she exerts over her own
little ones. She is constantly sur
rounded by critical imltators, who
copy her morals and manners. AS
the mother is, so are her sons and
DAUGHTERS. If q family of chill
dren is blessed with an intelll-
gent mother, who is delicate and
refined in her manners, and does
not consider it necessary TO be
one woman in q drawing room
and an entirely different person in
everyday life, bnt who is true
mother, and always a tender,
charming woman, you will ir-
Variably see her habits Of speech
and perfect manners repeated IN
her children. Great, rough men
and noisy, busy boys will always
tone down their voices and step
lightly and try to be more man
nerly when she stops to give them
a kind word or pleasant smile !;
for a true mother will neveC fail
to say or do all the pleasant
things that she can that will IN
any way help or lift up and cheer
those whose lives are shaded With
care and toll. The mother OF 10.
day rules the world Of tomorrow.

MILLS FOR MARBLEs.-AlmOst
all the marbles with which boys
everywhere amuse themselves, in
season and out of season, on side
walks and in shady spots, are made
at Oberstein, Germany. There are
large agate quarries and mills IN
that neighborhooG, and the refuse
is turned to good account in provi
ding the small stone balls for ez-
perts to "knuckle" with. The
stone is broken into small cubes,
by blows Of a light hammer. These
small blocks of stone are thrown
by the shovelful into the hopper
of a small mill, formed of a bed
stone, having it's surface grooved
with concentrate furrows. Above
this is the runner, which is OF
some hard wood, having level
face on it's. lower surface. The
upper block is made to revolve
water being delivered up
on the grooves of the bedstone
where the marbles are being
1t takes about fifteen
minutes to finish half a bushel Of
good marbles, ready for the boys
knuckles. One mill will turn out
10000 marbles per week. The
very hardest 'crackers,' as the
boys call them, are made by a
slower process: somewhat anal
gous to the other.
