Authors Making Work for Paper
Mills.


The author who writes few volumes
does more for the manufacture of paper,
for the increase of printing, and toward
the furnishing of work to many men than
we have any idea of until the conse-
quences of his authorship are reduced to
definite facts An illustration from one
extreme comes from the most prolific
author, the elder Dumas. He declared
at one time: "During the past twenty
years l have composed 400 volumes and
thirty-fve dramas. Ofthese 400 volumes,
on the average, A, 600 copies were pub
lished, realizing total of about 50, $780,
600. The thirty-tive plays, each of
which was performed 100 times, brought
me in 81 $50, 000." He then stated how
much his volumes had brought in to the
various classes of persons engaged in
their publication and circulation, and his
plays to persons connected with theatres,
and concluded with this calculations
"The daily wages being fixed at about
sixty-three cents, and there beng 800
working days in the year, my books have
for twenty years given wages to 692 per-
sons. My plays have for ten years af-
forded livelihood for 347 persons in
Paris. The number in the provinces
being fixed at thrice as many, the total is
1,041; added to these, seventy box-open-
ers, applauders, etc., have employed L.
45S persons" 1t would be interesting
also to know how many tons of paper
have been used in publishing the works
of this author. No doubt paper mill
of ordinary size would have to run many
years to make it.-Paper World.

an important law decision is just announced.

icy was payable to his administrators, as part

the wife to Harriet P. Lewis as security for
loan to the husband. On proof of the death
of the Parker family the administrators
claimed the money, assuming that in the
common disaster the husband survived both
wife and child.
1t was claimed, however, that the wife and
child as passengers were in the cabin when
the Marion capsized, and that the father was
necessarily on deck, and that the latter con-

There is much in the present bull market
to remind one of the man down in Indiana
who was the only man in his village having
any loose cash capital. He was one day ex-
planning to an eastern man:
''The only stock afoat in our neighborhood
are five shares of an old saw mill which hasn't
paid for its CRATE these last ten years. On
Monday mornings I circulate the report that
a syndicate has bought the mill, and will at
once put it in repair. This sends the shares
up to 25 and sell QUIZ
That's legitimate"
con Wednesdays I let it be understood
that the syndicate is busted, and that moth
ing will be done to the mill. This sends the
stock back to 10 and load up.''
"And what do you do on Saturdays?''
''Oh, these are my regular days for work
ing up a feeling in the country that 1 ought
to be paid bonus for converting the saw
mill into distillery!''

The Snowy Mountain of Equatorial Africa.
London Telegraph.
This was the subject of a lecture delivered
at the Royal institution by Mr.. H. II. JOHN
ston, who is about to head an expedition,
under the auspices of the British association
and the Royal society, for the purpose OF ex-
ploring the regions OF the Kilimanjaro
and thoroughly examining its flora and
fauna. The mountain in question, which
is Is, 900 feet above the sea level, is the
highest point Of a chain stretching from
Abyssinia, and continuing again until the
lofty ranges in the neighborhood OF Nyassa
lake is reached These on their part are con-
nected across the Fam best and Matabeleland,
with chains of hills and high table-lands,
which in their turn trend away into the
mountain ranges of Natal and southern At
RIGA. With a little stretch of imagination,
said the lecturer we may suppose that the
mountains of Abyssinia are slightly connect
ed northward by means of the Nubian and
West Arabian hills, with the mountain mass
of Sinai, and that again with
the Lebanon, the Caucasus, the Taurus,
the Balkans, and the Alps. So that it
is not very far-fetched to say that there is an
almost continuous line of elevation, whether
marked by plateaus or sierras, or isolated
peaks, extending from the West Asiatie and
mid-European systems down the east side OF
Africa to the cape, and in this long line Kill
maniaro comes nearly midway. One object
of his expedition, Mr.. Johnston went on to
explain, was to determine whether Kiliman
jaro belonged to Europe or the cape; whether
this snowy mountain had intercepted and re-
tanned some of the present South African
forms of life, which have been driven in the
course Of time to the temperate regions of
the south by the incursion across
the Sahara of the more vigorous north
ern agencies; or whether it marks an ex-
tension southwark of the several glacial
epochs which passed over Europe, and
whether, in that case, will be found on its
summit creatures or plants which will con-
meet its fauna and flora with those of the
Alps, the Taurus, and the Himalayas. The
lecturer explained at length the results OBJ
tanned by previous explorers, and concluded
by stating that the name Kilimanjaro did not

Pensions for Citizens.

An additional step toward charging the
pension lists is taken by bill introduced in
to the house.
That all persons actually engaged in the
suppression of the Sioux Indian war in Min
nesota, in 1852, and not belonging to any
organized militia, but called into service by
the Sheriffs of the several counties of Mime
sofa, be and they are hereby placed, in re-
gard to pensions, ON an equal footing with
persons provided for by the act OF July 4,
1864
Here it is evident that the persons pension
ed need never have enlisted al all, and need
not ever have acted under that of Sheriff.
If the principle should here after be extended
to all cases in which frontiersmen have de-
Tended their property against Indians, and
if county Sheriffs have the power to make
the United States Government responsible
for pensioning people who are injured or
made invalids while answering their calls,
the pension rolls will be considerable in
creased.

A Vermont man went home drunk and
laid down in his yard and went to sleep. His
wife, who was busy washing the clothes, let
him lie there, and went to hanging out the
linen on the lines all around him. When he
awoke it was after dark, and very dark at
that. The sky was overcast and the wind
was blowing and tossing the sheets, and
shirts, and pillow cases, and chemises, ETC.,
and as he rose UP he was surrounded by
tossing white pillows, which had terrible
and CHASTITY effect in the darkness. Talk
about mans being scared! Why, he didn It
know what the Texas had happened to him,
and he shivered and sweat at the same time
and howled so that he was heard three miles
away. When his wife came out and grabbed
him by the ear twas not gentle grasp. At
other times he would not have liked it, but
on that occasion it seemed positive luxury
to him.

FRED DOUGLASS, Tr,b,slations.

A Washington Correspondent writes:
The late marriage of Fred. Douglass seems
to have brought him no end of trouble. Be-
sides the reproaches of his own race, it has
brought on a good deal of agitation on all
sides. Pertaining to Maryland, it'has caused
member of the legislature to introduce a
bill prohibiting marriages between whites
and blacks in that state, similar to the law
in Virginia and the bill introduced in con-
gress for this district. And following all
this are family troubles-the rebellious feel
ings of his children and suit by his old
housekeeper for several years. wages, which
she had never before thought to claim. Mr..
Douglass certainly has reason to recall that
famous old canticle:
Needles and pins! Needles and pins
When man marries his trouble begins.
One awful report l have seen is that the
present Mrs. Douglass was dismissed from
her position as school teacher ''on account
of her violent temper" After that I think
