A Bcgi ncr in Literature.

''You We're speaking about what IL begin
nor should do. Where can he get u training
in literary work. There are no schools OF
literature. What must he do." asked n re-
porter of Richard Watson Glider, of The
Century.
NE must s%aturate his mind with the best
literature and he must practice, practice,
riwcticcm
"Whcrc will he get Ill opportunity to prar-
tee. Write an article and submit it to 1,
magazine, and if it is rejected write an
othcr:'
"My idea is that he should begin any
where. Giv away his contributions; get
used to seeing them in type; get his own crit
icislns of them in type and his neiglbor's
criticisms of them. 1t may spoil n wcakling,
but it knocks the conceit out of a sensible
man to see his writings i'll cold type. l ud
wise Young men and women who are deter
mined to he writers to write, write, write
and, if necessary, to give away their writ
ings until they finally become valuable.
They should not try, howe"er, as some
innoccntly do, to give them away to the
first class paying periodicals. 1t is 10 i'll
ducement to a magazine editor to be told
that he can have a contribution for nothing.
l Enow n young man who couldn't even give
away his writings to New York periodicals,
so ! advised him to try others out of town.
lie then went to work writing editorials with
ont pay for ali out of town daily. He soon
got rid of his ,uunncrisms, and has become
Il most valuable salaried writer upon ono OF
the large newspapers, md ais" one of the
best contributors for the best magazines"

"Good morning, Mrs. Black. Are you
going to vote for school committee today"
Eyes; mt I'm awfully glad l met you.
Tell me what kind of u person this Mrs.
White is. 1 don't know whether to vote for
her or not.'
"Oh, she's q splendid woman; so devoted,
you know. and they say she knows more
about educational matters than all the men
IN the board put together. There she is
now!'
"What! that woman over there in a blue

Tho lobster Canning Business.

The coast of Maine is SO indented by bays
and inlets that the actual shore line is fully
2 400 miles in extent. Along this shore are
many of the chief cities, towns and impor-
tant industries of Maine. One of the most
important of these industries is the catching,
transportation, canning and sale Of Holsters.
This is an industry that has grown in thirty
years from q business that gave employment
to o few score of hands. 1t now employs
more than 1000 fishermen, nearly 1000 boat
aud forty vessels, and distributes in various
ways more than 100000 annually. The
business Of lobster catching in general re.
quires two men to q boat, with 200 traps, at
a cost of about $500 for the entire outfit

A COUNTRY soulRE,s HOUSE.
An Intensely English Ceremonial-Granite
SOlemnitY of NPcayers.0


There is yet another ceremonial which at
most country houses the visitor is expected
to attend. That is family prayers. As II
student of men and manner it will he worth
his while, for III institution is SO intensely
English. AT o i'll the morning and about 10
at night the butler announces prayers. The
family and visitors then proceed to the hall,
where the servants are arranged in a long
row. The butler places n Bible and prayer
book in front of the squire, and then rctircs
to his seat with the air of a man who has
done a difficult duty rather neatly. Then
the squire reads n portion of Scripture and a
prayer in u loud, SonorouS voice. destitute of
all expression whatever. Now look for a
moment round the assembly. Old Gen. Siic-
nus, who has drunk perhaps half n bottle too
much %rlaret, presents an intensely pious, but
"itlial sleepy, appearance, and tries To cover
ii hiceough with Il grunt. Capt. Fitl:uikc,
of the Dragon Guards, who has just been
%convulsing the gentlemen ut the dinner table
with ''broad' stories, looks ai1l,al.ingly
proper. The rest are obviously thinking .
nowt,r which the rustic explained was the
great delight of church, but everybody is
bolt upright IN wears II stony primness of
aspect.
Were u twinkle of amusement, or even of
sclsibility, to be seen i'll amy ones cou;lten-
ancc, the vigilant eye of the lady of the
house would instantly detect it. The essence
of the ceremony, in short, is a kim of gran
itic solemnity. | remember once a ludicrcus
accident occurring at one of these rites,
which set the weaker folks off in AN ire
pressible litter. The lady of the house WAS
so angry that the truth came out in Il burst,

passion, "tic insult to the Almighty that |
