FEMININE ARITHMETIC,
Ario Batos Tells . Good Story About .
Girl and . Publisher.

Girl and Publisher.
| A publisher, writes Arlo Bates in the
Book Buyer, told me the other day a bit of
business experience which is mildly divert
ing. A young woman brought him manu-
script which, after due consideration, he
expressed himself willing TO publish in
paper, fifty cents series, paying the usual
ten per cent royalty. The young woman
expressed herself willing to accept this
offer, although she frankly said that she
had hoped for better terms.
but" she added, thoughtfully, .'if 1t
costs much 10 make the book, should not
think twenty-five cents would leave you
great deal OF profit" "Twenty-five centsin
repeated the publisher, not at all under
standing,
"why," explained she, 'there are Ave OF
US girls who wrote this together. Ten per
cent OF fifty cents is Ave, and five times
Ave is twenty-five. Ifit takes quarter OF
adollar TO pay us five girls our royalty, that
leaves you just the same amount"
The naivete of the proposition so amused
the publisher that he declares he was
tempted 10 leave the error unexplained. He
said, however: "But OF course you can see
that we shall not lose so much as we should
II there had been ten Of you, for then we
should have 10 make the book for nothing
and lose the booksellers discount besides
Really, though, l fear you will be obliged TO
do with a cent apiece" Aud his proposition
was rejected with indignation, tho amusing
part Of the story being that the lady who
conducted the negotiations declared il there
were only one author ten per cent would
do, but that any body could see that II
would not amount TO any thing divided
among Ave people.

A KISS IN THE DARK.

Horace Vernet, the artist, was
going from Versailles to Paris
by railway In the same COM
partinent with him were two
lLdies whom he had never seen
before, but who were evidently
acquainted with him. They ex-
amined him infinitely, and CON-
msnted freely on his martial
bearing, his hale old age the
style of his dress, etr. They
continued their annoyance until
finally the painter determined
to put an end to the persecut; on.
AZ the train passed through the
tunnel of st. Cloud the three
travellers were wrapped in COIN
plete darkness. Vernet raised
the back Of his hand Ia his
mouth aud kissed it twice vio-
lently. On emerging from the
Obscurity he found that the la
dies had withdrawn their atten-
ton from him, and were accus-
in each other of having been
kissed by a man in the dark.
Presently they arrived in Pa
ris, and Vernet, on leaving them,
said: w.adies, | shall be puzzled

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution

an inflamed condition of the mucus
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets iEfiamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
