SOME USEFUL HINTS.

Cups and saucers stained with tea may be
made bright again by using damp salt.
Never put potatoes ON the table in a covered
dish They will reabsorb their own moisture
and become soggy.
Willow furniture should be scrubbed well
with salt and water, applied with nail brush
to clean it. Dry it thoroughly.
A small box filled with lime, and placed on
shelf in the pantry or closet, will absorb
dampness and keep the air in the closet dry
and sweet.
Table linen should be hemmed by hand
is never a streak of dirt under the edge after
being laundered, as with machine sewing
Shrunken half worn bed blankets or COM
forts, past using on bed, make good pads to
put under a stair carpet. They will answer
the purpose just as well as the boughten
pads, and be a great saving in the wear Of
the stair carpet.
No matter how large the spot of oil, any
carpet or wooden stuff can be cleaned by APP
plying buckwheat plentifully and faithfully,
brushing it into a dustpan after a short time,
and putting on fresh until the oil has all dis
appeared.
Never wash cups, plates, spoon and knives
used in the sick room with those of the fam
lily. Scarlet fever and other infectious dis
eases have been spread in this way. Do not
eat in the sick persons room, or partake of
anything that has stood here-American
Cultivator.

Of production.
Frederick E. We,therly wrote the famous
"Nancy Lee" in an hour, while waiting for a

The Due de Morny has prepared for the
press the memoirs of his father, the famous
minister of Napoleon Ill.
W. Clark Russell, the marine novelist, who
is now hopelessly crippled by rheumatism,
spends most of his time in wheeled chair.
The novelist Bulwer's wife once wrote to
Wilkie Collins that he did not know how to
describe villain: Now" she said, IF you
want villain, write up my husband"
George Ebers, at 81 years of age, is pro-
fessor of Egyptology at Leipzig university,

SOME AUTHORS HANDWRITING.

Longfellow's handwriting was bold,
frank back hand.
Charlotte Bronte's handwriting appeared
to have been traced with a needle.
Thackeray's penmanship was marvelously
neat, but so small that it could not always
be read with comfort by any but micro
scopic eyes.
Joaquin Miller's writing is illegibie in it.
self, and is rendered doubly difficult by the
fact that the authors spelling is of the most
eccentric kind.
Bryant's was aggressive and pleasing to
the eye, but had no poetical characteristics;
and Keats was rather too clerical for the
most dainty of modern poets.
Napoleon's handwriting was not only il
legible; it is said that his letters from Ger
many to Josephine were at first taken for
rough maps of the seat of war.
Capt. Marryat's handwriting was SO fine
that whenever the copyist rested from his
labors he was obliged to stick pin where he
left off in order to find the place again.
Carlyle reconstructed with pen and gall
what his mind and eyes had SEEM and in the
patient but Grabbed and oddly emphasized
handwriting much of his temperament may
be read.
Among the authors of the past, Gray,
Moore, Leigh Hunt, Walter Scott and Blu
chanan Read possessed pleasing running
hand which failed to express any decided in
dividuality.
Charles Dickens writing was very minute,
and his habit of writing with blue ink upon
blue paper, with frequent interlineations and
cross lines, make his copy burden alike to
compositor and proofreader.
Byron's handwriting was a mere scrawl,
and his additions in the proof were generally
greater than the original text. To one poem,
which contained only 400 lines in the first
draft, 900 were added in proofs.
A reckless compositor one day went to
Jules Janin and besought him to decipher
some pages of his own manuscript. The great
man replied that he would rather rewrite
than attempt to read over again what he had
one written.
Among living authors, Howells, Holmes,
Bret Harte, Andrew Lang, William Norris,
Frederick Locker and George Macdonald
write hands that are plain and legible, and
often beautiful, without any strongly dis
tinctive characteristics.
But no penman, either American or foreign
could have been worse than Horace Greeley
GOOD God" said a new compositor to whom
stake" of the EDITORS copy had been handed
''if Belshazzar had seen this writing on the
wall he would have been more terrified thar
he was.n
Few printers could read Balzac's copy
and those who could made an express stipu-
lation with their employer to work at it only
one hour at a time Even after the hero
glyphics had been translated into print, the
proof sheets came back more llegible thar
the original copy.
While having his house repaired Ruff
Choate had promised to send the model for
carved mantelpiece. Failing to obtain wha
he wanted, he wrote to his workman to tina
effect. The carpenter eyed the missive from
all points of view, and finally decided that i
must be the promised plan so he set to worl
to fashion what must have been the most origi
nal mantelpiece that ever ornamented room
