"Grants Memorials what shall it be ?'' is discussed
in the Septem Der number of the North american Re
0ieU, by Launt Thompson, Karl Gerhardt, o. L.
Warner, and Wilson Mcdonald, sculptors; w. II.
Beard, painter; Calvert Vaux and Henry Van Brunt
architects and Clarence Cook, art critic. This SYM
postum is to attract wide attention at this tme
when the des1e is general to erect monument to
Grant that shall be worthy of the man, the Nation,
and American art. The same number of the ReoieW
contains consideration of the question: "Shal our
National Banking System be Abolished?' by George
s. Boutwell,, F. j. Scott, s. Dana Horton, and Edward
II. G.. Clark. "Ouida'' contributes an essay on 1.-The
Tendencies of English Fiction" and Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps writes 1.-The Great Psychical Oppor
tunity.' But the most readable article in the num-
ber is ex-Sergeantat-arms French's "Reminiscences
of Famous Americans, which is series of delight
full anecdotes about the famous war senator's. Mr..
French is writing book of these "reminiscences. If
it equals this forestament in the ReUieu it will
one of the famous works of modern literature.

Failure and Success.
TRaltimore American

The accidents of book things
which may make or mar the success OF a
work, irrespective of its merits-are per-
ilous thought to the author. A curious in
stance is Z. R Howe's "Story of Country
Town" The book was written in Atchi-
son, Kan, and was published in the office of
a country paper. In poor type, on rough
paper, clumsily bound, it made its appear
ance in great newspaper offices and swell
magazines Everywhere it was dismissed
with brief Indifferent paragraph By all
the tokens tbs book fell dead.
Barney Macauley, the actor, returning
from the west brought with him the Atchi-
son book. It aroused in him curious inter
est, and he passed it around among a group
of newspaper men Of his acquaintance. The
first public notice following this revival was
a column in The New York World, written
by Mrs William Conner, born Ada Webb,
the wife of Capt William Conner, of the st
James hotel, at the instigation of a friend.
Through the same disinterestedness favor
bIe notices began to peer through the col
umns of various weeklies, and finally the
magazines blossomed into eulogieS A copy
was generously sent to The Saturday Re
view. which followed in time with favorable
notice.
Now everybody swells the chorus. James
R Osgood g. Co. republish the book, and
contract for new novel, for which Scrib-
ner & Co, unhappily too late, make higher
bid. Failure and success. Each is but a
chapter of incidents. To the tired reviewer
what good can come out OF a countr town
in poor type and dirty paper, The languid
interest of man in a long railway journey
is happily conveyed to the right I'm in
stesd Of the wrong man, and success is in
yuJpd Yet all the time the book remains
tb same, hewn out Of hfe-biood veind with
n imanity.

think diamoni-cutting will be q great
industry in the large cities yet, for
Americans do the finest work. But there is
is not enough work here for single lapidary,
though for initial cutting in stones think
there is employment here for good workmen-
We how send all that sort Of work to New
York, which is the center Of this part Of the
trade as Boston is OF New England, Chicago
of the west, and San Francisco Of the Pacific
coast The most Of the diamond cutting Of
this country is done by machinery. Mr. Morse
has an appliance in which he mounts two
stones in double lathe and uses one
against the other, very much the same as
the old hand method By the old way two
diamonds were cems ltei, each on the eni of
a separate stick, or handle, and they were
rubbed together with strong pressure by
hand Mr. Morse cracked the ice by cutting
the celebrated Virginia diamond in 1859. and
since then the industry mas grown consider
ably. There is no tariff on the uncut stoneS
while the cut diamond is subject to a very
heavy import duty. That fosters the in
dustry"
What becomes Of the du1tr
at is called bost, and is used in cleaving Ut
polishing diamonds Cleavage is the follow
ing Of the sides of the crystallization Of the
stone. As general thing it can be more
highly polished, and Is therefore the more
brilliant. Sometimes they are so hard that
they cannot be polished. The chips that
come off in cleaving are used to represent
the ewes of animals ani birds. The rag for

barefoot in the cornfeld, started for the

ting strips OF white wadding a very LITTLE
wider than the letters Take white threat
and tack the wadding upon the letters, TAX
ing care to keep the stitches in the center o.
the wadding Now take your needle ana
divide the wadding, taking half, and turn
the edge over towards the center so that
will hide the stitches. Turn it over on both
sides, and then rub your finger over it t
make it fluffy. Fasten the letters on 10
background of black and your letters stand
out like letters of snow.
A pretty way TO fix them for a church i
to get some man to make a rough frame six

introduced into this country by Henry D.
Morse, of Boston, in 1858, but at present
there are several places in New York

done. The European stoRe is not

Curious Facts About Keliy's Island.
TCleyeland Letterl

Adam Schardt lives on kelly's island. El
is a rare old German with a sweet accent
He gives the following history Of the early
settlers Of Kelly's island: In the first place.
the island was literally covered with snakes
and reptiles, and no human being, not eve,
the noble red man, had the courage to dis
pute their right and title to the island. Dur
ing heavy storm, many years ago, q
schooner was wrecked off McGodgam's
point Ths boat carried cargo Of live
hogs All hands were lost, but the hogs
swan ashore, and, as they found little else
to feed upon, they made a diet Of snakes In
the course of time they succeeded in devour-
ing all the snakes on ths island Then the
Kelly family put in an appearance and be-
gan devouring the hoga, feat which was
accomplished easily and quickly. Nothing
has since succeeded In sxtsrminating ths
Kelly family.
If people would give to the care Of their
own health one-tenth of the time they devote
useless.y to that Of others, every one would
feel much better.
