Dickens SIS an Editor.

Dickens is the most thought of as q novel

upon, was hardly less distinguished in his

connection with The Daily News, be was
never the editor of a daily journal, but in
the record which his son furnishes in the Au-
gust number of The English Illustrated Mag
aziue of his method Of editing a weekly
journal and of dealing with his contributors.
it is found that Dickens set up the highest
standard possible and brought all Of his in
domitable energy and capacity for taking
pains into the service Of his weekly maya
zine.
He was the model editor of his chosen field.

spondence with al contributors was as kindly

In only one early medifeval record is there
any mention of the use of O fork after the
fashion of modern times. The heroins OF
this record is Byzantine wotcan, who mar
ried Doge OF Venice many centuries ago.
In Venice this Byzantine young woman con-
tinued TO eat as she ate at home. She cut her
meat in very small bits On her plate and car
ried each bit to her mouth with two tined
fork The people OF Venice regarded this
unusual manner of eating as symptom Of
morbid luxury.
In all probability, as this incident indi-
Gates, the modern use of the fork originated
at the cultivated Byzantine court and spread
gradually to the west. The western people
did not take kindly, however, to this instru-
ment of new tangled eastern table manners.
Many centuries were required for Its general
introduction and adoption. The famous By
zantine who ate with her fork IN Venice
lived in the Eleventh century. Not till the
Seventeenth century did the great folk OF
Europe begin to follow her example.
In 1859 the use of forks, according to
modern ideas, was generally known, but
not generally adopted Heyhn, an English
writer, mentioned it then as the custom
among dandies.-Jewelers'W Weekly.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee which has 90 much to bear
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch Of tangled hairy
Perhaps you do not heed tho velvet touch
OF wi.rn, moist fingers holding yours so tight;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch;
You almost are too tired to pray tonight
But it is blessedness! A year ago
did not see it as do today.
We are so dull and thankleSs, and too slow
To catch the sunshine, till it slips away.
And now it seems SURPRISING strange to me
That, while wore the badge OF motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good
And T. come night when you sit down to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee,
The restless curly head from OF your breast,
The hsping tongue that chartered constantly;
II from your own the dinpled hand had slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again,
II the white feet into the grave had tripped-
! wonder SO that mothers ever fret
At little children clingiug to their gown;
Or that the footprints when the days are wet
Are ever black enough 10 make frown-
If I could find little muddy boot,
Or cap OF jacket, on my chamber door;
If l could kiss rosy, restless foot
And hear It patter In my home once more.
II could mend broken cart today
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than L
But, OIL the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rufnpied with shining head
LILY singing birding from its nest has flown;
