A Literary Millionaire.

New York Letter.
The only really handsome millionaire that L
know of in this city is Mr. Allen Thorndyke
Rice, the editor and proprietor Of the North
American Review. Mr.. Rice is said to be the
fortunate possessor Of S. 000, 900, which is but
drop in the bucket compared to the fortunes OF
many Of our wealthy citizens; but STILL it is q
very comfortable sum to have at ones command,
and Mr.. Rice knows how to use it to his
own enjoyment, and to the enjoyment of Others.
Mr.. Rice is young man, not thirty five, L
should say, with olive-complexion, dark brown
hair, large, hazel eyes, a good, straight nose.
and ell-brushed, close cut beard, overhung
by long mustache. He dresses quietly, and,
while his clothes are all of the handsomest ma
terial, he seems to have fancy for top-coat
that is little worn in the seams, so that his
just como from the tailor Mr. Rice is very
busy man; for besides taking care of his money,
he looks after the interests of the North Amer
lean, engages contributors, and when he is in
New York takes entire charge of the editorial
department upon his shoulders But all this
does not seem to occupy the whole of his time,
for he has recently gone into other branches of
business, SO that he keeps two secretaries going
all day long. One Of Mr.. Rices recent schemes
is bureau for furnishing literary articles
to a syndicate of newspapers. The first
articles that have appeared in this syndicate.
from Mr.. Rices bureau, were published on Sum
day last-one was on Gray's published verse,
giving the verse, by Mr.. Edmund Gosse, and tho
Other was chapter from Mark Twain's forth
coming book, ''HuckIeberry Finn" i suppose

same class Of articles to the newspapers as APP
near in the pages of the North American. OF

A Lesson I'm Art.

The most demonstrative anger that I have
personally seen in many day was melted in a
Jew by a glrl who worked in his art shop I
will not call his place studio. though pictures
are painted there by the hundred, because
the labor is quite mechanical. He is q manu-
facturer of those canvases which are constantly
being sacrificed at auction-with their colors
so fresh, their frames so glistening. and yet not
nearly so bad in design or drawing dis they
might be. The explanation of their lack of
entire offensiveness is that they are laid out by
means Of stencils after which the paint is rap
idly brushed on. A row of twenty landscapes
were on the bench. They were alike. Each

of corn at the back and well sweep in front

to have been inserted. He had told the boss
girl SO, on going out an hour before. But in
selecting the stencil she had, by mistake, taken
from the stock the form of an Arab,
and quickly pencilled him in at the side of every
well and the rest of the employees, following the
colors shown on the thin metal plate, gave to the
far fetched Bedouin such garments as are never

Medical Use of Eggs.
California Patron.

For burns and scalds there is nothing more
soothing than the white of an egg, which may be
poured over the wound 1t is softer as varnish
for burn than collodion, and being always on
hand, can be applied Immediately. 1t is more
cooling than the sweet oil and cotton which was
formerly supposed TO be the surest application
to allay the srnarting pain. 1t is the contact
with the air which gives the extreme discomfort
experienced from ordinary accidents of this
kind, ard anything which excludes air and pre-
vents inflammation is the best thing to be at once
applied. The egg is also considered one OF the
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten up lightly,
with or without sugar. swallowed at gulp, IL

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Inspection of Oils.

To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
As the Legislature is in session desire to call
attention to the fact that in 1881 law was en-
acted providing for the inspection of all petro-
leum oils offered for sale in this State, and the
appointment of an inspector to carry out the
provisions of the law. An inspector was duly
appointed. The object OF the law was to prevent
the sale of unsafe and worthless oils in the
State. Has it had the desired affectl I answer
it has not In this town we have to depend al
most entirely upon petroleum oil for illuminat-
ing purposes in the night time Every year the
quality of the oil sold here grows worse instead
OF better. The sellers are not to blame, for
the barrels in which it comes all have
the inspectors approval branded upon
them. Now some one is at fault.
Crude oil loses about % per cent in refining
when the best grade of oil is made. Crude oil
to-day is quoted at SO cents per barrel We pay
from 20 to % cents per gallon for refined oil
Anyone can see the extortionate profits made on
refined oil Notwithstanding all this, we are
compelled, through the ineffciency, careless
ness or misconductAof the State Inspector to
use the unsafe and cheap grades of oil which
are put upon the market by the Standard Oil
Company which controls the manufacture and
price of oils everywhere. 1 am informed
that the State of Minnesota has law which
completely prevents the sale of any but the safest
and best oils, in the State. The test required
by the law of this State will be honestly and
carefully applied to all oils.offeredfor sale-drive
all worthless and unsafe oils from it What We
want is the enforcement of the law. Some mem
Der of the Legislature can do the people great
service and himself credit by procuring such
amendment as will compel the enforcement of
the law, and thorough, careful and honest in
spection of all oils sold in the State.

what is regarded as one of the most unique
