How Manuscripts are Read.

A large publishing house states that
it generally employs as readers men and
women Of culture who themselves have
done literary work; sometimes lawyer
who finds time from his professional
duties to give attention to literary pur.
suits, or doctor similarly situated, and
sometimes a woman Of refined educa.
tion qualified to do the work. When
any manuscript on scientific, medical
or special object Is handed in, some
recognized professional man in that
particular is engaged. Nearly all writ
ers bear part Of the expense Of the first
edition.; all new writer's do. 1t is a
fact not generally known that Long
fellow paid within a small amount Of
the total cost Of production Of his first
volume Of poems, and James Russell
Lowell paid all the expense Of his first
work.

fessional beauties. The particular star
of this quartet is Butler, of South Caro-

Grecian gods; his form is manly per-
fection. and his bearing military with
out the military swagger. Though he
lost leg some years ago, he uses an
artificial one so adroitly that an OBJ
server would not notice the loss. How

The Question of Precedence.

There has been great deal of bother
lately about questions of precedence.
Prince Henry of Battenberg's style as
''Royal Highness" is not recognized by
any court. and as the Queen acted ultra
rires in raising him to this rank it will
be necessary to make some special ar
rangement ut state functions in order to
avoid complications with the Ambassa-
doris, who are the personal representa-
tives of their respective sovereigns.
There are certain members of the royal
family, moreover, who are not disposed
to allow Prince Henry the precedence
which is now claimed for him. 1t has
also been necessary to define the prece-
dcnce of the Prince of Wales's children
now that they have come out, and this
has been fertile source of discussion.
Prince Albert's precedence was cause
of wrangling for nearly twenty years,
as the Queen claimed for him place to
which he was not entitled, and, although
she usually had her own way at home.
they never went to Germany without
some vexatious misunderstanding in
which they were invariably worsted.
Things came to climax when at some
great function abroad an Archduke of
Austria and several other personages
insisted on taking precedence of Prince
Albert, who was treated very rudely,
and separated from the Queen by
score of couples. This episode led to
his elevation to the rank of Prince Con-
sort, which entitled him to the place
which had formerly been claimed for
him.-London Truth.

Justice With an Itching Palm.


The politicians have way of speak
ing of their transactions with various
public officials that would astonish stu
dents of political economy who have
small idea of the practical part of the
political government of New York. A
short time ago four men were arrested
for engaging in swindling operation
in Thirty-sixth street. They were
brought up for examination. and a
shrewd, working politician was sent for.
He and the justice retired to private
room, and half an hour later the men
were discharged. They were clearly
guilty, but they walked out of court
without the slightest hindrance in the
wake of the politician. The gentleman
is little known to the public, but his in
fiuence with the officials of the city
government seems limitless. Last
night he came into the Gilsey house
about 7:3O, dropped into chair casual
ly, and growled out string of COM
plants about the mayor. That gentle
man does not enjoy large degree of
popularity with the men of any party
just now, and even the citizens COM
mittee fail to pay abject homage. Af-
ter he had denounced the mayor as
guilty of every crime in the calendar
the politician turned his attention to ex-
Sheriff Davidson. Then the astute
manager relighted his cigar, winked
significantly, and remarked in con-
fidential voice that he wasn't any
chump." 1 fastened to assure him of
nv entire concurrence In this sentiment
and asked him how he managed to get
the four Thirty-sixth street swindlers
out of the clutches of the law.
"Wid hundred" said the great dis
trict leader shortly. II took the Judge
aside and said: Them men goes free,
and here's the DOODLE He pocketed
it like little man, went out, got up on
the bench, and announced that there
wasn't sufficient evidence on which to
hold the prisoners, and they were dis
charged. That was easy enough,
wasn't it?''

Whv Hancock Died Poor.


Surprise is expressed that Gen. Han
cock did not leave larger estate be-
hind him, but he was generous to a
fault, and he had many calls upon his
charity. 1t was the heavy cross of his
life that his twin brother, for thirty
years resident of distant Western city,
had disappointed his expectations. lost
his ambition and sunk into living
death. His brother was lawyer, one
of the most. brilliant in the Northwest,
clearing from $4,000 to $50, 900 year
by his practice, when he fell q victim to
his love for good company and good
cheer. He went down from his high
position like rocket, and for the last
fifteen years has been entirely support
ed by his brother, the General. There
is touching little bit of romance con-
nected with this sad story. The lawyer
was in his prime, magnificent looking
man, and became engaged to the beau
tiful daughter of lady in whose house
he boarded. The engagement began
twenty-five years ago. But the lady
saw danger ahead, and she refused to
marry her ardent and handsome wooer
until he would forswear the flowing
bowl and show himself a thoroughly re-
formed man. He still lives in the same
house, and the lady is there too and still
unwedded. She is true to her love, but
is equally true to her promise. and,
while she tendcrly cares for the man
she loves and mourns, she knows that
her life is wrecked, and that there is no
hope now on this side of the grave.
The world is full of such unnoticed
heroines. York Letter.
