Meanwhile the beet sugar refinery

the fitness of the land for growing
this crop. Beets from these expe-

Writing for . Living.

1.-The magazine has come to be the path
way that leads into literary society" said IN
editor of a leading periodical to the writer
yesterday, ''but the pathway is a long and
rough n and unless the prodder is amply
provisioned before he begins his journey, he is
likely to be starved out on the route. There is
no subsection in which there arc moro gener-
ally mistaken ideas than on the remuneration
of literary work in magazines. There is a
popular impression that the well known con-
tributors earn princely incomes by their
articles. People have heard SO much about
the $4,000 a year which Mr.. Howells gets for
his work in Harper's, that they think all the
better known magazine writers receive some
thing like the same amount for their work.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
I am quite sure that the contributors, whose
not, on an average, earn $1,000 a year from
persistent labor.
II assure you that any man, however
gifted, who would depend for subsistence on
contributions to the magazines, would soon
become a Grub street specimen. Newspaper
work pays far better, and that is why so few
newspaper mems names are seen in the mag
azines. An able journalist could earn q sure
500 on a newspaper during the timeit would
take MIN to get up a $50 magazine article,
which might find its way back to him with
thanks etc. Writing these articles is very
well as an adjunct to an income from other
sources, but to any one who should think Of
settling down to gain a subsistence by them I
would say: You will lead a happier and
more comfortable life with the pick and
shovel" New York Commercial Adver-

Success in the Metropolis,

The common opinion that New York is the
paradise of western humbugs and tricksters
is untrue. These people do abound here be-
yond a doubt; but they are short lived.
They flourish today and are gone tomorrow.
They take no root, and have no hold upon
any genuine interest, they attain no perma-
nent success. It is only genuine merit that
succeeds in the great city. Men are here
subjected to q test that soon takes the conceit
out of them. They are taken for just what
they are worth, and NJ more, and he must
show himself a man indeed who would take
his place among the princes Of trade, or
among the leaders of thought and opinion.
He may bring with him from his distant
home the brightest of regulations, but hero
he will have to begin at the very bottom of
the ladder and mount upward again. It is
slow work, SO slow that it tries every quality
of true manhood to its utmost. The daily
life of the jewellers in the great city makes
them keen, shrewd judges of human nature,
and they are proficients in the art of study
ing character Howard in New York

PRECURSORS or THE PlANoFoR7e.

Some Fine Old instruments Which Lead
Up to the History of Piano Playing.
Bernardus Boekelman, q well known
teacher of the pianoforte in this city, has re.
Gently become the possessor of two exceed.
ingly interesting and curious instruments,
both over $50 years old. They are a clari-
chord and a spinet, or, as the instrument was
commonly called in England, a virginia..
Historically the former is the more interest
ing Of the two, and it was only by a lucky
chance that Mr.. Boekelman managed to buy
it last summer from the museum of the Brus-
sells Conservatory of Music. It is an oblong
box, about four feet long, sixteen or eighteen
inches wide, and not more than five inches
high, without legs or support of any kind. It
has forty-four keys and only twenty-five
double strings, some of the strings being de-
pended on for three notes, some for two and
some for only one. +"~"
The action consists of a simple lever, the
key, one end extending forward of the strings
to receive the pressure Of the players fingers,
the other reaching under the strings. This
end is armed with a bit of brass, called a
tangent" which is forced up against the
string by the finger blow, simultaneously
setting the string to vibrating and dividing
Oft the portion which it was necessary should
sound to produce the desired note. All the
lower strings are called on for three notes,
which proves that the instrument was made
before the interval of a second was admitted
in harmony. The clarichord, though the
most simple form of Keyed string instrument,
enjoyed the great favor Of musicians down
to the early part of the present century. Bach
and his sons preferred it over the harpischord
and even the pianoforte, which in their day
was, of course, a crude instrument.
The virginia. owned by MI. Boekelman was
made by Jean Fuckers, in Antwerp, in 1922.
Fuckers was one of a family of spinet and
harpischord makers famous for their skill.
In this instrument the strings are plucked by
tiny bits of stiff sole leather, placed in instru-
ments that rested on the keys, and were
forced upward by the pressure Of the fingers.
They were called "jacks," and Shakespeare
in one of his sonnets speaks of them with envy
at being privileged to kiss the slender in
ward" of the lady's hand, concluding with
the reasonable advice:
Since saucy Jacks SO happy are in this,
Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss.
