Three years later Mr.. Alcott received
from his daughter the manuscript Of q

to tho inspiration which was always her

observation. and what may be called the
idealization OF facts Miss Alcott said

having been asked by Roberts Bros. to
prepare "a good girls story" she declared
she could not do 1t, caring SO much more
for "boys" than she did for girls; but, II
she attempted 1t. 1t must be about her
own sisters and herself.
Accordingly. book was written On this
charming principle. On It's receipt one Of
the firm took the manuscript home. and,
without mentioning the author, handed
it to his daughter, girl Of about 10 years,
to read. Intrenching himself behind Q
newspaper, was told he watched tho
effect of the story upon this unconscious
critic. Page after page was turned. and
every variety Of expression showed itself
ON the young face bending above the book.
What would she have said, wonder. had
she known her proud distinction-the first

Tricks In the Vino Trade.

Two pnrisians named Berard and Four.
cade have just been sentenced TO six and
twelve months imprisonment, respect
lively. for having practiceda a series Of very
ingenious frauds on keepers Of public
houses In tho metropolis. They were In
tho habit Of visiting the landlords and
offering them barrels Of excellent wine at
greatly reduced prices The liquor which
they gave tho publicans to tasto was
superb, and the bargain was generally
concluded on the spot. A few days after
ward the unlucky dealer found that tho
wine which he had bought was detestable.
Since their conviction the men have made
full confession Berard used to keep o
small bottle Of good vino up his sleeve.
and when he made pretense Of 0Rng the
glass from the barrel he was In reality
giving his customer the contents Of this
bottle to taste. The trick was carried out
with considerable address, and was never
detected by his dupes.
Another dodge" TO quote his own ex.
preston. was to pour into barrel Of 200
litres forty litres Of Arst-class wine. Tho
remainder Of the barrel was then filed up
with water. slowly inserted by means OF
pipe. The wine remained at the top;
the barrel was pierced high up. and the
buyer was again persuaded TO taste the
liquor to show there was no deception.
Delighted with his bargain he put down
the money then and there. only to dis
cover after brief lapse Of time that he
had been cheated outrageously.-Cor.
