Mr.. Charles "A. Dana, The editor Of The
New York Sun, is not a sassiety man and
does not belong TO any OF the big New York
clubs. This latter fact may be due to the
enemies he has made in the extremely vigor-
Gus conduct Of his paper.
The result Of this is doubtless to emphasize
Mr.. Dana's liking for eccentric people. These
are never more than acquaintance, but it is
singular that so cultured man can find
pleasure in their company. Every one viii
remember how he picked up Count Joannes,
who died here some years ago. Joannes had
been an actor, o little Of a writer, consider
able of a fraud and a good deal Of a lunatic.
His last freak was to perform Shakespearean
parts in a theatre in the Bowery, and Mr..
Dana used to 60 and sit in a box Another
queer character, and one who drifts into
Mr. Dana's private Office frequently, IS
old "Toppy" MARK Mcguire, who used
to train boxers. Mcguire draws asalary from
The Sun exchequer, and his duty is to keep
the city editor informed about coming SPORT
ing events. Mr.. Dana takes considerable in
terest in such matters, and before boxing
matches We're suppressed be would go to the
best Of them. Heis interested in pedestrianism
and win 60 to a good exhibition gladly. An
other acquaintance Of Mr.. Dana's is the well
known Mr.. Walters, Of Baltimore. They

eecentricity Of Mr. Walters appearance and
behavior he knows a thing or two about art.
Tom Acton, who was sub-treasuerer under
Arthur and is now a banker on Broadway, il
another acquaintance. S. l. NJ Barlow
better known as ISLAM Barlow, a somewhat
eccentric society man, is another. The most
intimate associate that Mr.. Dana has is hi:

are just what they should be. They are seer
together a great deal, and are frequently

GERTRUDE GARRlSoN'S LAST NOV

Charles A. Dana
[speelal Corresnondenco.l


NEW York, July 31.-One Of the sweetest
stories which the press has recently issued is
the novelette, entitled 1.-THE Wrong Man, n
which was published in the July number Of
Belfori's Magazine, edited by the brilliant
Dom Piatt The Wrong Man. is not in the
least sensational, not the kind Of a story to
set people talking about its possible conse-
quences on the minds of unseasoned readers.
No, it has nothing feverish, questionable or
coarse in it. Much rarer qualities does it
possess, which give it distinction in these
days Of ranlsly favored fiction.
II Is strong as well as sweet, and told in a
style OF exquisite simplicity
We all know what Gertrude Garrison has
done in journalism-how versatile and pow
erful has been her pen, not as writer
merely, but as an editor. A journalist in
every sense of the word, she has made her
potent, but never offensive, individuality
felt. A certain dash and spirit peculiarly
her own peryade whatever she writes, and
She has withal, what few women writers
possess, faculty for humor.
This is as noticeable in her conversation as
in her writing.
feel a peculiar interest in this authors
works Of fiction, largely for the reason that
two or three years ago, when l first read
some of her short stories, saw that, although
she was exceptionally successful in newspaper
work, she was missing the development OF
her highest talent, which is story writing.
Her stories have the charm of tenderness in
an unusual and powerful degree. They
touch the heart, while seeming to have been
written without any thought of producing
effect In that and another particular Ger
trude Garrison's stories resemble those of
John Shorthouss, in that an atmosphere Of
high spirituality pervades them. The inter-
est of her stories hangs less upon the incidents
and events than upon tho subtle interior
changes Of their people. We meet minds,
and not simply figures, in the creations of
her fancy.
1t is a rare gift TO be able TO write an ex-
cellent short story, and for the most part It
is thankless work. The author uses up ma
terial which il expanded into serial would
bring him money and fame-he gets but
little of either for the short story.
Among Gertrude Garrison's many estima-
bio and lovable attributes are those of gem
erosity and kindness to her fellow writers,
being ever ready to give them helping
hand up the steep and thorny path Of litera-
ture which she has SO successfully Travelled,

There Is a variety, fascination about
newspaper work which is possessed b5 no
other profession. Yet it is the hardest pos
sible work and the money reward is ridicu-
lousy small. The instances where cul-
tured, practical newspaper man can make

dollars a week is O good average for men who
have been in tho profession for years. Tho
same amount Of ability and hard work in

ing journalist, however brilliant he may be-,
is rarely endowed with tho business faculty,
in fact il frequently seems that the more able
he is as a newspaper man the less he UNDER

citizen with his snug bank account and
methodical ideas is therefore apt to regard
the newspaper man as an erratio and some

How to Feed Young Pigs.

pointed They squeal and grow thin.
| had this year a SOW that raised only
two pigs, but those two grew faster
than any pigs have fed for long
time. This is why they grew: Their
parents were not scrub stock, but
sleek. clean-cut Berkshires. There
were not thirteen pigs crowding in a
trough that would only accommodate
twelve No, there were only two, and
they ate slowly, quietly and comforta-

off to their mother until she gave it to

CURE FOR IVY POISON.
1t is SuIphate of Soda, Properly Dissolve
and Used as u wash.


Poison ivy, while it is very poison
Gus to some, is entirely harmless to
others. Actual contact with the plant
is not in all cases necessary to poison a
man. Persons are known to have been
poisoned by simply passing by places
where the vine grows abundantly.
Those who are not familiar with these
plants will on general principles dc
well to avoid any vine or bush growing
by rocks, fences and wood sides with
glossy leaves arranged in trees, and in
the fall any particularly brilliant tree
in swampy places, with leaves resemb
ling, but slightly broader than the
common sumach.
Fortunately ivy poisoning is not a
dangerous affection, although persons
severely poisoned present a very dis
tressing appearance. Ne scars or per-
maneut injury to the skin or general
system are apprehended in ordinary
cases, and no danger of catching it by
contact with the eruption upon another
person need be feared.
The bruised leaves of the common
plantain are an excellent antidOte and
always convenient. Rub them over the
eruptions and bind them on if possible
Fine table salt often effects a cure. APP
plications of soft soap sometimes af-
fords relief. Sweet oil is one of the
surest and most agreeable remedies.
Battle the irritated parts fire Iuently
with the oil. A leading physician
speaks in the highest terms of sulphite
of soda as a remedy, prescribes it for
his patients, as he knows its value from
personal experience. AS to his own
case he was completely covered with
the poisonous eruptions and tried all
the old and new cures without any good
resulting from them, until one day a.
drug clerk gave him ten cents worth Of
sulphite OF soda, dissolved in one pint
of water with which he bathed the
parts freely. 1t acted like magic; it
allayed the itching and was very sooth-
ing. The cure was complete in week.
Sulphite of soda can be obtained at any
drug store, but in ordering it will be
well to state that it is sulphite of soda
and not sulphate that is wanted, other
wise there is possibility Of getting
the latter, which will not answer the
purpose. IN T. Nai{ and Express.

FOOLISH AGREEMENT.
How According to an Old Song, a Husband
Gave Himself Away.

In the old Scotch song entitled, The
Barring of the Door, we are informed
that there was a disagreement between
husband and wife as to which of the
two should attend to the duty of lock-
ing up the house for the night. The
husbands use to order their wives in
those days, and she being busy refused.
Thereupon as the song says:
They made law between the twa
They made it firm and sure,
The one that spoke the foremost word
Should rise and bar the door.
So they sat and sat in silence with
the door open. By and by two gentle
men came along, and, entering the
house, asked whose habitation it was
and various other questions, but neither
husband nor wife would open their
mouths in reply,
For the barring o. the door.
Thereupon the gentlemen became
somewhat facetious and proposed to
have little fun with the silent couple.
One was to engage the husband at
JGuJlOll Nllllt JllC OllcT hlSStu INC WIG.
Thereupon the husband arose in great
Indignation and demanded if they in

"Guid man, We spoke the foremost word
Rise up and bar the door,

about the first word. If the agree
ment had been on the last word, he
would have had her. sure, before the
night was yer.-B9StoN Courier.
