SUNSET.

Shadows are falling on glorious day,
As shadows fall at length on all things fair.
The chirping sparrow to its nest has flown,
And life seems lille one sweet and silent PRAYER
The western sky is but one mass OF gold,
With streais of red that soften with the gray.
1t is that gate of heaven open thrown,
To welcome souls, whose tears have ceased this
day.
THE golden light is what our crowns shall be;
The red, the blood that gainec. us entrance
there;
The gray, the sorrows that are left without,
Now quickly fading in the golden glare.
The music that steals softly DER the soul
Soothing the troubled, agitated breast,
Is but the echo of the heavenly choir
Welcoming at eyentide the souls at rest

1t seems that in 1877 two Inyenl

1t seems that in 1877 two inventors
filed applications for patents in regard to
an essential Of telephone communication,
and the contesting claims are still UNI
settled, though neither of the original
parties to the applications have any in-
terest whatever in the matter. The Bell
Company absorbed both, and by some
means has kept the contest between it's
two purchases alive up to the present
time. At q glance this would look like
an absurdity, but the Bell people are
not in the comical business to any ex.
tent. The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court gives them till
1894 on the basis of their admitted pa
tents, and it is held that whenever a de.
cision is reached on the contested claims
in the Patent Office, a period of ten
years protection will belong to the in
yention securing favorable decision.
BY this means the Bell Company, by
dropping one claim in 1893, for instance,
will secure an extension OF monopoly for
another patent term. The Patent Office
should not be made the medium for such
schemes.

SUCCESS IN LITERARY WORK.


No man can tell whether book will
take or not The criticism of the press
seems to have little effect upon the pop
ularity of a book. Some books owe
their success to singular combinations
of circumstances. A book that had the
phenomenal sale of $4,000 copies owed
its success very largely to the auspices
under which it was brought out. A
book that otherwise would fall flat
might happen to come out just in the
nick of time to strike a popular chord.
| think that most successful authors
soon find that they make more at other
literary work than writing books. Some
go into the business of getting even for
their wounds at the hands of the re-
viewers and critics by becoming critics
themselves on newspapers and maya
zines, and thus earn much better pay
than they could at pure authorship.
Others go into the field of editing copy
in the big publishing houses, where IA
miliarity with the current works Of hc-
ton is the thing demanded. Others
again go into journalism, pure and
simple, and are heard Of no more in
the ranks of writer's of fiction. Boston
