What Writers Receive.

Turning from the remuneration of IN
thors for their volumes to the compensa-
ton Of writer's for the press, the light
and the shade are not as strongly marked
The struggle in the case of papers and
magazines is not SO much for high rate
of payment as for the acceptance of .
manuscript The rate of payment is set
tied, and, except for special reasons, is the
same Cor each article. The rate in the
principal magazines and reviews is about
q cent word for prose, though articles
either of exceptional value or Of specially
noteworthy authorship are paid at q
much higher rate. The rate ia most
weekly journals (most of which are of q
religious character) is slightly more than
ne cent for two words. During the last
three years a young writer known to tho
suthor Of this paper has published four
teen articles in seven Of the leading mag
szines and quarterlies. For them he has
received 1896. 50-an average Of $50 for
each paper. He has also published
twenty-seven articles in Ave religious
weekly journals. For them he was paid
1892. 6e-an average OF slightly more
than 81 for each. This example indicates

Confederate Bonds.

A broker .wh> has purchased large
amounts Of the Confederate bonds fur
nishes this explanation of the apparent
European lunacy on this subject: 1.-THE
reports Of the Treasury Agents of the
United States some time after the close
Of the Rebellion showed that there was
deposited in the Bank of England and
in banks of France, Holland and Belgium
81, 900, 900 belonging to the Confederate
Government, the proceeds of the sale of
cotton. This money was pledged to pay
the interest on the Confederate loan.
The January interest of 1865 was paid,
and money was set apart to pay the
coupons for the July interest when the
Rebellion collapsed. The European
syndicate Of bankers is seeking to obtain
all the Confederate bonds for the pur-
pose only of collectin the IDLY,
1866, coupons, with accumulated
interest resulting from non pay
ment. The talk about attempt
Ing to boycott the Southern States, or to
collect the principal of the bonds, or
any interest-coupons after that month
(July, 1862 is shere nonsense. But
this syndicate has good legal advice that
the money set apart for a specific pur.
pose-namely: the payment of the July
coupons, must be paid on the presenta
ton OF that coupon, and if you will in.
quire you will observe that all the orders
to brokers to purchase the Confederate
bonds specify that they must contain the
July coupon and must not be mutilated.
A bond presented without the July cou-
pom would not be purchased, end that is
all there is in tho Confederate bond
story. The European syndicate intends
to secure, if it can, these 81 ZOO, 600 to
the credit of the Confederate States
Government in European banks, and it
proposes to do this in the only way that
it possibly can, if it can do it in that
way, by presenting these coupons for
payment. If the syndicate does not
succeed, the European banks will be
I'll, 900, 900 ahead, as there is no doubt
that that amount Of cash to the credit of
the Confederate States is deposited there.
It is fact that the report presented to
the Treasury Department some time
after as to the Confederate assets in
Europe contained the item Of $11, OOO,-
600 cash. Warrington Special

High Heels and Deformel Feet,

A prominent surgeon remarked the
sther day, after pc. forming painful
operation on an interesting little girl
whose feet hal been ruined by wearing
wrongly constructed shoes, ''this is the
beginning of q large harvest of such
cases. and what else can be expected
Mothers walk the streets with hec's on
their boots from two to three and hall
inches high and not more than an inch
in diameter, and their daughters follow
the same bad and barbarous rrac-
lice. In many cases severe sprains of
the ankles are suffered. But these are
not the worst points of the high-hcel
torture. The toes are forced against
the fore part of the foot, and soon begin
to assume unnatural positions. In
many cases they are actually dislocated.
In others the great toe passes under the
foot, and the tendons harden in that po-
sition, and lameness is the result, for
which there is no cure but the knife.
When the injury does not take this
form it assumes other aspects quite as
grave. and perhaps more distressing.
There are thousands of young girls
tripping along the streets to day who in
few years will be criprles if their
parents do not interfere and remove the
cause. We shall have race of women
almost as helpless, as far as the feet are
concerned, as those of China.
We condemn the practice of confin-
Ing the feet Of children in wooden shoes,
and yet that practice is no more inju-
rious to the feet than forcing them into
a small snoe with an Alpine heel. This
is matter of grave and serious import,
and hence we press it upon the moth
ers and fathers of the land If they
would not feed the surgical hospitals
and have groups of MANNED daughters
in their homes they must commence a
crusade upon the high heels. No father
should have high-heeled boots in his
house any more than he wonld have
vicious dog in his parlor. When prom
fnent surgeons from the operating room
raise their voices against high-heelcd
boots it is time for old and young peo-
pie to pause and listen. At this period
they can choose between high heels and
the operating knife. In short time it
may be the latter or permanent lame
ness. Not long since we asked prom
inent chiropodist what made his bust
ness. 'Imperfectly constructed shoes
he answered. without the least hest
tancy.-DetroI Post and Tribune.

An Unusual Engineering Feat.

At one time it was obvious that tho
Washington Monument foundation
needed to be strengthened, and Colonel
Casey addressed himself to task which
a good many engineers would have
preferred not to undertake. Going
down below the foundation already
built, he dug from under it all around a
core of earth forty-foor feet square, d.
rectly under the center Of the founda-
ton and monument; and the II, 800, 900
pounds OF weight stood on this
pillar of earth. The new excavation
was of a depth of thirteen feet, and
made cellar under the foundation 1926
feet square. This was filled with solid
masonry, except where the core of earth
stood, which was not removed. Then
the sides of the old foundation
above were torn down for considera-
BILE distance under the walls of the
shaft, rebuilt of better materials, and
spread out further over the new base
below, thus distributing the pressure
over much larger area. So, instead
of foundation only 80 feet square,
that is, extending only 124 feet beyond
each of the four faces, there is now a
foundation 126 feet square, extending
25 feet beyond each face and running
ID feet deeper. A good many engineers
have come at different times to visit the
monument and inspect this interesting
work. One of them looked at it long
time without saying anything Then
he remarked quietly: "Wel1, that's
easy enough to do, but l don't know
one engineer in a thousand who would
want to try it." The result proves how
well the work has been done. Since
the laying of stone was renewed 20, 255
tons of stone have been added to the
pile, and the settlement of the shaft due
to this load has been just one and
quarter inches. The settlement is SO
even that the greatest variation in the
sinking of the four corners is differ
ence of four-one-hundreth of an inch
between the southwest and northeast
corners. The other two have settled
exactly alike, even to the hundreth
part Of an inch. The total pressure
now borne by the bed of foundation is
74,S7l tons or ninety-two per cent. of
the whole pressure that will be placed
upon it, Washington Letter.

He Didn't Relish the Blamed Joke.

II have good joke to tell you," said
m Arkansas Colonel to his friend the
General. 1.-THE other day, you know.
Higgins announced himself as candidate
for Judge. Well, I met him and told
him that you made fun of tho idea and
declared that he didn't have sense
enough TO serve on . Coroner's Jury.
He IA . notorious coward, you know.
but he became furiously angry. Now
here's where the joke comes in. The
General, I.said, is tho biggest coward
in the world Is that 90! Higgins
asked. Yes replied, and what you
want to do il to meet him and thrash
him. He won't fight You, and you'll
have an easy victory Everybody that
Is acquainted with you knows that You
are brave man, General, and when the
joke gets out we'll have good lsugh."
