Experimenting with the Beggars.

A Paris philanthropist, who was struck by
the alarming and painful increase of men,
deity in the metropolis, recently made pc
culiar, although, perhaps, not novel expert
ment. He went around to several generous
merchants, manufacturers and tradespeople,
and succeeded in inducing them to take into
their employment all the "Vagrom men"
that he should send to them with letters of
recommendation. Then he summoned to-
gether an army of the unemployed" made
a speech to them on the advantage of labor,
the advisability of economy and the dangers
of absinthe and petit bleu, and finally d.
rected them to call for the letters of recon-
mendation, which were to procure for them
immediate and remunerative employment at
the minimum rate Of four francs per diem.
Out of 727 of his ragged audience, more than
half disappeared as if by magic from the
scene, and have never bothered the philan-
thropist since. OF the remainder, some took
the letters, but never presented them; Others
worked half day and clamored for their
wages for that brief period, while at the end
of three days only eighteen men, who were
all genuine artisans and laborers, were at
their post. Boston TRANSCRIPTS

Newspaper Story of the War.

An immense newspaper history of the civil
war has been compiled by Thomas s. Town
send. 1t is formed entirely of newspaper
cuttings, with digest of these and index,
and comprised in more than 100 giant vol
umes, in Russia binding, each one of which
is the size of the largest bank ledger. Mr.
Townsend began his Iabors in 1850, and has
continued them ever since, having expended
twenty-six years and $4,000 in the forma-

ART AND LIFE"

Said the Poet unto the Seer,
How shall learn to tell
What know of Heaven and Hellf
Ispeak, but the ashes turn
The passions that In me burn.
I shout to the skies. but hear
No answer from man or God.
Shall throw my Tyre on the sod.
Rest, and give over the strife, u
And sink In a voiceless Hfef b sk'
Said the Seer to the Poet, Arise
And give to the seas and the skies n
The Message thai In thee burns.
Tnfice speak, though the blue sky turns
Deaf ears, and the ocean spurns
Thy call. Thou men despise
The word that from out Thy heart @
Flameth, do thou thy paFa J., >,~ssse q
Thrice speak 1t, aloud, say,
Then go, released, on thy vayi
Live thou deeply and wise;
Suffer as never before:
Know Joy, till it cuts to the quick:
Eat the apple, life to the core.
Be thou cursed
By them thou hast blessed, by the sick
Whom thou in thy weakness nursed
With thy strength the weak endue;
Be praised when 'twere better to blame;
In the home Of thy spirit be true,
Though the voice of the street cry shame.

A New Word Wanted.

A clever coiner of words may find chance
for his skill in manufacturing suitable
name for the product of the type writer.
The difficulty lies in deciding whether the re-
suit should be termed manuscript or type
natter. The present adjective, type writ
on" is of advantage, inasmuch as it meets
10Th conditions. Still, Americans are moth

Women as Home Decorators,

The amateurs work in decoration has
chiefly found its way to store windows where
it seems to plead for purchasers, while it
stunned criticism. China painting, figures
on silk and satin, and useless articles of
fnery, for along time were the limit of the
resources of women who could paint and
desired to turn their skill to value It was a
poor field because overcrowded. A new out
let has been opened to them; namely, home
decoration, and hope it may prove sufficient
ly wide in range to drive the crude, immature
paintings and decorations placed in the art
stores and shops in the chance hope Of sale.
Many who have elegant homes have found
the advantage of some decoration which will
last longer than the paper hangers art, and
are having their houses frightened with
pretty or quaint work. Panels, walls ard
CEILINGS are being painted, and the neat work
for which women are noted is chiefly desired.
I know Of several houses in which the marble
stationery washstands are decorated with
flowers and plants, SO that when faled with
water the flowers seem to be real Others of
the new houses have the panels Of the doors
covered with pretty designs, and know a
young lady who has received an order to
decorate screen. The demand for such
work is growing, and think it will increase.

A Plea for the Mosquito.


Mr.. 81. Sullivan Thomas, who has been
lecturing on the musquito before the Liter
ary society of Madras, India, is ungallant
enough to say that it is only the female mus
quito that does the biting. He considers the
musquito most useful pest, seven-eighths of
its existence being devoted to the service of
man and only oneeighth to his annoyance.
It exists in the larval state twenty-one days,
and during that period engages in sanitary
work with ardor and thoroughness. Wher-
ever there is dirty water, wherever there is a
filthy drain, there the musquito larvae are to
be found, voraciously devouring the contalni-
mating matter.
And in clarifying the water of India,
which needs the process SO badly, the mus
quito Is performing public benefaction and
atoning to some extent for the bioodthirsty
appetite he develops during the three days
he exists in the more familiar form. Mr..
Thomas tells us he never yet found a case
where bite was inflicted by any other than a
female musquito, and though he suggested as
possible explanation that the male had
quicker ears and might be moro on his guard
against being caught, this was obviously
rather concession to the feeling of the fe.ni.

Prices Paid for Magazine Work.

Speaking few evenings ago with the ed
itor of one Of the great New York magazines.
CHANGED to ask him as to the present rates
paid to authors for their work. His answer
was not uninteresting.
"The present average rate for magazine
work is $40 per thousand words This is now
paid to a large number Of what is termed
average writers-that is, writers whose repu-
tations have yet to be made. OF course, this
price does not apply to known and tried
writers. Where articles are solicited they
always command higher prices. Work Of
famous writer's commands different prices;
some come very high. For example, we have
paid as high as $1,000 for single poem
How long was ia Five pages of our maga-
zine. For single story as high as 5000 has
been paid, although usually 500 is a good
price for good short story. Those which
are considered especially meritorlous COM
mand as high as $3.50.
But rates t1uctuate, and am frank to
confess that great deal depends upon repu-
tation This must, Of necessity, be so, for
the public will read story or poem very
often because of the name attached to it,
where the same story might go unread in
many cases if an unknown name is signed to
it. From my experience, women write the
best short stories. They are better equipped
to meet the demands Of the age. Most
stories sent to the magazines by men en-
body some attempt at plot. Now, almost
every conceivable plot has been invented,
and it is almost miracle when anything
strikingly original comes to us. Women, on
the other hand. are more apt to employ situ-
ations which admit of portrayal of subtle
shades of feeling. These are the successful
story writer's of the present day."-William
j. Box in New York Graphic.

Ho Enioyed the sermon.

Dr.. Payson, of Portland, Me-, used to tell
this good story: "One very. rainy Sunday he
went to his church as usual, but no one ap.
peared except an old negro, who came in and
asked if DR.. Payson was to preach. The
doctor said EYES," and went into the pulpit
and preached to the choir and the old negro.
Some months afterward he met the negro and
asked him II he enjoyed that sermon .sEn.

BLUE eRoT7o OF CAPRI.
Nothing Like II Elsewhere in the World.
An Iniescribable Scene.

An 1ndeBcrtbAblo Scene.
The inhabitants of Capri say that their
island is built upon grottoes and supported by
natural arches like the structures of men.
This is perhaps an exaggeration, but all
along the rocky shores there are beautiful
grottoes, and in the center ofthe island de-
scent may be made for hundreds of feet into
the bowels Of the earth in the Grotto of the
Stalactites The sea grottoes we visit in
making the ''giro," or circuit Of the island,
which is an excursion that brings the traveller
into contact with some of the rarest effects of
natural scenery known. Nowhere in the
world is there aught resembling the famous
Blue grotto of the island of Capri.
The entrance to the Blue grotto, situated in
the rocky cliff which faces the north at the
western extremity of the island, is perhaps
three feet in height and not more than five in
width When the sea is high it cannot be en-
tered at all The marinaro who conducts the
party through this aperture-and there must
be but three in the boat-has all that he can
do to effect an entrance without having his
frail craft dashed in pieces. The visitors are
obliged to lie upon their backs in the bottom
of the boat, while the marinaro, taking ad-
vantage of the wave as it rises, and holding
on to the rock, guides her by a dexterous
6AOVo 1uOO tu0 cavern. neT6 LOT q moment
the eyes are dazzled by a strange light. but
soon they accommodate themselves to it, and
then the visitor finds himself in a lake of linn
pid water, whose blue is that of the sky, and
whose sheen is that of molten silver. The ef-
feet is indescribable. Objects dipped in the
water, the boat and oars are covered with
this silvery sheen, while the marinaro, who
plunges in for the amusement of visitors.
rises clad in a garment Of flashing light. The
whole extent of the grotto is 100 feet by 175,
and the roof of ribbed and groined natural
arches shares the blue effulgence of the water
beneath.
Besides the Blue grotto of Capri there are
along its coasts series of others, each of
which seems to take the blue waters of the
Mediterranean and convert them into a tint
peculiar to itself. The Green grotto on the
south side of the island, with its waters of the
purest emerald hue, ranks next in beauty to
the Blue grotto 1t can, however, be entered
without difficulty through lofty archway,
and the effect, though grand and beautiful,
is not marvellous. There is the White grotto,
where the water seems like milk, and the Red
grotto, where the roof is spangled with red
crystals in the limestone rock. There is also
the Grotto of Ferns, and along the shore as
well as in the center of the island are grottoes
where in some places the crystal stalactites
hang like great pointed columns and in
others like a delicate fringe above the Wis
itor's head.-Mary E. VAhdyne in Harpers
Magazine.
