Profits Of tho French Novelists.

As the human demand for instruction Is
less ardent than the demand for amuse-
ment, the pecuniary reward of even the
luckiest novelist seems slight. We hear
II fortunes made in France by novelists
like NJ. Zola and NJ. Daudet. Why Is
similar luck so very, very rare in Eng
land2 Way do NJ. lola and NJ. Daudet
do so much better than Our EngliShmen
Of letters like Mr.. Trollope, who was also
n man of business? This is a mystery.
No economist has fathOmed IT. Certainly
the French system of publishing novels Is
infinitely more simple than the EnSllsh
system. Novels are usually sold in one
volume, at = price rather over halI a
crown, say three and slXpense,
adding the siXpence for n PLAIN
! binding. OF this half crown the author
receives n royalty-tOarPence or i've
pence, or only twOpeuce, according 70 MS
popularity and the demand for his books
Saw he sells 1900 copies Of a novel (ano
| NJ, Ohnet, NJ. lola, aud NJ. Daudet often
sell far morel. and he makes about El,4J
at a ROYALTY of f]Ourpence. This IS exclusive
of the price paid for the serial publication
of the tale as the feuilleton or a news
paper.
Most French newspapers have their
novel running, and, on the whole, it VIII
appear that a successful French novelist
has rather n profitable business, espect.
ally rs he often dramatizes his tale ana
reaps the rich rewards Of the theatre,
But though the facts are patent, no one
has vet discovered who buy the $1,000 or

Deaf, on the I.thmus.

There are gruesome sights sometimes In
this capital city Of N. de Lesseps' second
republic. Sitting Oh your yeranda late at
night, you see the door Of the little adobe
house across the way open. The woman
Of the house, who lodges two or three ca
nal employees, peers cautiously. out into
the street, re-enters the house, and when
she comes out again drags1 something over
the threshold, across the narrow sidewalk,
and leaves it lying in the dirty street.
When she closes the door again there Is
no noise but the plash Of the tide on the
shale. Soon it grows lighter. A buzZard
drops laZily down from the roof OF the
cathedral and perches on the something
in the street. The outlines become more
distinct. You walk down, drive away the
bird who flies sullenly back to his watch
town, and stand looking in the quick dawn
OF the tropics at what was yesterday a
mana week before a strong mana
month before a hopeful man, sailing out
of Havre. He is dead Of the yellow
fever.
The woman with whom he lodged
might have sent him to the company's
hospital; true, but she did not know just
what forms or expenses that might mean
for her. She did what she could, as she
will tell the gossips, and no doctor could
do more. When the fever came 1t was
Gods Judgment on these foreigners. He
had but lite in her house, and what he
had was surely hers. 1t could not be
called his now. A man comes down the
narrow street, turns aside, avoids the
corpse, and goes on to his work Bye-and-
bye, when many more have passed, a
wagon comes and stops. Two men lit
down from it a wretched broken coffin,
bound with knotted ropes, and roll the
dead man in, face down as 1t happens.
They drive him to the pauper burial
ground, leave him there, and take the
coffin off again. This is the seamy side
of life in Panama.-Pauama Cor. New
York Tribune.

Enrincer. Dread moonlight Nights.

Moonlight ~nights-they are the bane OF
railroad engineers" said a head official Of
the Baltimore s. Ohio railroad. ~AIl en-
gineers dread moonlight nights. They
try the nerves to their utmost. Engineers
like TO run on dark nights. On a moon
light night the trouble with them is no
trouble at all-shadows. An engineer,
looking out from his engine, sees before
him all manner Of shadows He is sure
that the dark shadow across the track he
sees is a man or a rock, or some kind Of
an obstruction. He doesn't know, and he
is kept in q state Of nervous excitement
all the time. Going around curves, along
hillsides, many curious shadows are out
lined on the tack, and very often an en-
gineer is so worked up over a nights ride
that he is scarcely able to perform his dn-
tieS-Exchange.

Usefulness OF the Lemon.

Lemons are one OF the most usetul
fruits In u domestic economy. Inc
Juice of half a lemon in a glass OF water,
without sugar, will frequently cures sick
headache. II the hands be stained, there
IS nothing that viii remove the stain bet

After the juice has been squeezed from
