Writer and Actress.

Miss Florence Warden wrote her
celebrated novel, "The House on the
Marsh," while she was filling an en-
gagement at the Haymarket theatre
in London. The book proved ire
mendous success and she received a
much larger sum from her publishers
than had been agreed upon before its
appearance. Miss Warden then dra-
matized the story and starred for two
years in the leading part and devout-
ed her hours off the stage to writing
other weird and original tales. She
had adopted the stage as profession
simply because she was dependent on
her own efforts for her support. AT
first she tried the life of q governess as
the only path, according to English
precedent and example, open to the
young Englishwoman who must earn
her daily bread, and she found it a
dreary enough round of drudgery to
which starvation seemed preferable.
Her ambition was to write, and the
success of her first efforts enabled her
to retire from the stage, and devote
herself entirely to literature.

Such Pretty WAYS.

''She had such pretty ways with
her." That was the reason an honest,
hard working man gave for marrying
a girl of whom he knew little else, but
who was really professional biga-
mist, travelling about the country and
marrying husband after husband as a
matter Of speculation.
1t is the pretty ways Of women which
have ruined many man of every age,
including the greatest of generals,
statesmen and philosophers.
If the pretty ways come from the
heart it is all right If they are the
result of cold, selfish, calculating art,
woe is to him who falls their victim.
Nothing is truer than that women
are both better and worse than men.

Filling for Nail Holes.

The following method Of filling up
nail holes in wood is not only simple,
but said to be effectual: Take fine
sawdust and mix into u thick paste
with glue, pound it into the hole, and
when dry, it will make the wood as
good as new. Frank Christin, Jr., in
Stoves and Hardware, says he has fol
lowed this for thirty years with unvary
ing success in repairing bellows, which
is the most severe test known. Often by
frequent attachment of new leather to
old bellows frames the wood becomes
so perforated that there is no space to
drive the nails, and even if there was
the remaining holes would allow the
air to escape. A treatment with glue
and sawdust paste invariably does the
the work, while lead, putty and other
remedies always fail.

DICKENS AND FORSTER.
How the Latter Meddled With All the
Great Novelist's Affairs.

How the Latter Meddied With All the
Great Novelist's Affairs.
It is hard to understand how Dick
ems put up with Forster. The great
novelist was good man of business,
even before he came in for the inesti-
mable privilege of Forster's guidance;
but after the ''h'arbitrary" person
took him in charge he was always
treated as q more or less helpless in
FAINT, and he accepted the situation
with comical patience that was all
his own.
Forster interfercd in Dickens lit
erary affairs, in his monetary af-
fairs, in his business affairs, in
the minutest of his social affairs,
and, most of ALL in his family
affairs. How the incubus was en-
dured none can tell. Sometimes
Dickens objected, and told his men
tor some salutary truths; there then
ensued a quarrel of some duration,
and good deal of verbal sparring by
no means light in character; but III
the end Dickens real esteem for his
bearish friends sterling character al
ways caused him 10 relapse into
tliluSSi lOlcIdlCc.
One example of Forster's colossal
capacity for medlling would be reck
oned us incredible, had not SO many
people been present when the "h'arbi-
trary" philosopher made an exhibition
of himself At somewhat large din
ner party Dickens happened to men
ton that he had five children. The
meddler could not miss the chance,
SO he shouted:
mo, you have not! You know you
are wrong by ono. You have only
four living"
This tremendous piece of impudence
was doubtless uttered with purpose /;
it meant:
You may think that there are some
matters which you can decide with
out my assistance, but | assure you
that you are quite wrong"
Dickens smiled and said, mildly:
My dear Forster, you must really
allow me to know something Oh that
point"
We should think so, and we should
have thought that the polite astonish-
ment of the assembled guests might
have curbed the exuberance of the in
effable meddler; but he seems to have
gone on gayly to the bitter end. and
he closed the proceedings by writing q
biography of Dickens which may be
better described as THE Autobiogra-
ply of John Forster, with Incidental
References to Charles Dickens" So
strongly did this most heroic of med
dlers wish to thrust himself forward
that he compelled those who loved
Charles Dickens to publish a collection
of beautiful letters which proved that
our great man did not depend, as it
were, for the breath of life upon the
active and commanding Forster

Tho Velocity of Elevators.

The velocity of the passenger eleva-
tors in the tall buildings of the city is
something to be marveled at in mod
ern devices and improvements. The
average speed of passenger elevators
is 225 feet per minute, which includes
the ordinary stops. The elevators in
the big Equitable building at Sixth
and Locust streets have run of $50
feet from the basement or ground floor
to the top of the building. The run is
made in twenty seconds; with usual
stops, one minute. In a day of nine
hours any one of these elevators runs
over ten miles, which does not in
clude the time allowed by the starter.
In several building here lately some
elevators have developed speed of
300 feet minute. Louis Globe
