by Whom and Under What circumstances
They We're Written.
Gray's "Elegy" occupied him for
seven years.
Bryant wrote "Thanatopsis" in the
shade of an old forest.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox composed her
little poem, 1.-The Land of Nod" while
rocking her baby brother to sleep in the
cradle. 49,.
Cowper wrote John Gilpin's Ride"
when he was under one of those terrible
fits of depression so common to him.
The poem, THE Falls Of Niagara,
was written by it's author, J. G. G..
Brainard, the editor Of a small paper in
Connecticut. He wrote it under press
ure, in response to call for more
copy"
General Lytle wrote 81 am Dying,
Egypt Dying" on the night before his
death. He had a premonition that he
was going to die the next day
after the Bal, the ittle-poen
which has made the name of Nora
Perry known in the world of letters,
was jotted down on the back of an old
letter, with no idea Of the popularity it
was to achieve in the pages of noted
magazine.
Poe first thought of "The Bells" when
walking the streets of Baltimore on q
winter night. He rang the bell of
lawyers house47a stranger to him
walked into the gentleman's library,
shut himself up, and the next morning
presented the lawyer with copy of his
celebrated poem.
Thomas Moore, while writing "Lalla
Rookh," spent so many months in read

became an accomplished Oriental
-scholars and people found it difficult to
believe that its scenes were not penned

AsouIREJEcTED POETRY.
The Best Things Written Are Apt to BE Re-
turned With Thanks.


turned With Thanks.
1t is matter of history that some of
the finest poetry ever written has had
narrow escape from the 'limbo of things
lost on earth" One of the greatest po-
cts that ever lived came within an ace
of being the mute, inglorious Milton"
for his almost divine epic found little
favor with the booksellers of his day
and was finally sold for about the sum
which a first-class poet of the present
day would expect for poem OF forty or
fifty lines. In that day as in ours,
every leading publishing house kept
''critic," on whose fat the fate of an
authors manuscript depended; and
then, as now, the readers" of such
establishments sometimes made terrible
mistakes.
1t is our deliberate opinion. that had
the Paradise Lost" been submitted to
certain regularly employed critics of the
present time instead OF to the Grub
street gentlemen of the seventeenth
century it would have been pronounced,
as of yore, dull and tedious produc-
tion." Byron, as we all know, was mer-
cilessly snubbed by the literary Jupiter
of the Edinburgh Review, and Rev.
Charles Wolfe's exquisite lode on the
Burial of Sir John Moore was so scorn-
fully rejected by leading periodical OF
the time that the author, in sending II
to provincial Irish newspaper, timidly
withheld his name lest he should be
ecauterized by the press. But the public,
better critic than any cynic in FOOLS
cap uniform, turned up with ink, unex-
pectedly franked him for immortality.
There is an enormous amount of hum
bug in modern criticism-quite as much
as in the criticism of days gone blythe
fact is that the ability to decide intelli-,
gently whether work will succeed or
fail is not an art but gift, and very
few possess IT. Mere book men know
very little about the tastes of the COM
munity. If you want IAN opinion as. 10
an opinion" on what you have written,
goto aman who understands human nat
ure, and, though he may never have
seen the inside Of q college, he will be
apt TO tell you truly how the world will
receive your Offering. --Critie.s

TAPPING A SHELL.
An Old Darby Who Relieved In the Adage
ssBusiness Before Pleasure"

An Old Darby Who Relieved In the Adage
"Business Before Pleasure,
One day when was at Glendale, Va,
couple Of negro boys drove up with a
mule and cart and began to dump out at
the blacksmith shop lot Of stuff picked
up on the battlefield OF Malvern Hill.
There were bailets,-backfes,r stirrups,
belt plates, musket barrels, rusty
swords and bayonets, and in the lot was
a loaded shell, which had been fired
from heavy field piece. The black
smith was an old darby and the boys
were his sons. When he saw the she'll
he said:
''You git out wild dat yere foolishness!
Didn't dun tole you not to bring any
mo- of 'em yere2''
One of the boys threw the she'll aside,
and then the old man went with me
hitching post. We were gone about
half an hour, and were within one
hundred feet of the shop, when there
was loud explosion. A great hole was
blown out Of one side, and part of the
roof was bulged up, and the two boys
came tumbling out through the smoke
and ran against us. The old man grabbed
one by the arm and whirled him around
and demanded: =
Didn't dun tole ye to let dat fool
ishness alone!"
"She's 'sploded!" gasped the boy.
''In co'se she's 'sploded, an now Ize
gwine to 'splode you'll"
And he drew him to shade tree,
broke off limb and tanned his jacket
till the boy yelled murder. Then we
entered the shop and found it almost a
wreck The boys had placed the she'll
on an anvil and struck it with tho
sledge, and the anvil had been blown
ten feet away. Miraculous as it may
seem, neither boy was injured in the
slightest.
''Sich triflin' can't be abeared, -.
growled the old man as he hunted
around for his scattered tools. "Didnt
l dun tole 'em to let dat nonsense be?
Didn't know dat dem Yankees didn't
go an fill up DER shells wild co'nmeal
an breeches-buttons? OF co'se she
'splode. 1t was her bizness to 'splode.

FASHIONS FOR LADIES.


White Toilets For summer Receptions
Made of China OF India silk.
Narrow ribbons of fine quality are
now used to finish the bodices of dresses
at the back rather than the wide sash
which has been SO long favored. Sashes
are still fashionable, but the ribbons ar
ranged in shower of long loops and
ends are Hewef-and- more becoming to
many figures.
Beautiful white toilets for summer
receptions and dinners are made of the
finest and richest of China and India
silk scattered over with tiny white silk
buds leaves or rose sprays These are
made in two ways. One is sheath-like
model, demi-trained, a princesse with
short sleeves pulled very high, and with
half-low, rounding neck, with no lisse
or lace introduced in the opening. The
throat and upper neck are left bare, and
handsome, iewe1ed dog-colIar is in
order. The dress is everywhere covered
with silk lisse, vailing the silk beneath
like mist. The other style is cut open
in the throat, with superb rundown
collar and revers of rich lace. The
bodice has the appearance of being close
ly wrapped around the figure, oand shows
only the back and side seams. The
transparent sleeves of net matching the
lace are high, full and long. The silk
skirt is straight and round and intricate
ly draped with lace.
Among the imported dresses, not
few have the bodice cut to show the
throat in walking or afternoon costumes
which can properly be worn in the
street A band of wide gimp often sup
plies the lack of a collar, this band 1y-
ing upon the corsage and not standing
uprightin the usual military fashion.
Some waists are corded in the back
without even p pretense of collar.
Some of the tailor-made gowns have
medium-high collar at the back, but are
cut quite open to show all the throat.
The long tulle strings worn on bonnets
and hats are intended to drape the neck
lightly and mitigate a little of this
novel baroness This fashion is one
that the few women with really fine,
graceful threats can follow If they
choose; but the fact is that most of
those on this side of the water who
have adopted the style ought to have
adhered to the still fashionable collars
a la Medici, Tosca. Directoire, or to-
even the uncompromising and severe
noliceman's collar.-N. Y. Evening Post.

FARM HINTS.


A PIECE Oh farm work done In season
IS TWICE as valuaole as tne same Work
done out-er season.
The neglected farm is pretty sure to
starve out it's owner. This is natures
method of taking revenge. She demands
a square deal.
THE value OF any kind of fodder is
not in its quantity, but in the amount
that is dieestible. The quality largely
depends on the stage Of growth when it
is cut and cured.

There are few housekeepers who do
not know the advantage of roller-towels

where frequent washing is done. There
should at least be one in the kitchen
and bathroom, or wherever else the

dren's ROOM it presents great advan-
tages. 1t is hung up and not on the
floor; it is always s'there," and does not
have to be hunted for while wet hands
are dripping, perhaps; it rolls along from
wet spots to dry in a way very accom-

1t is not easy to use it for wash-cloth.
Advance.
Most vegetables are better cooked
fast excepting potatoes, beans, peas,
cauliflower and others which contain
starch. Cabbage should be boiled rapid
ly in plenty Of water, SO should onions
young beets and turnips. Peas can be
cooked thoroughly when tender in
twenty minutes. They should be slow,
lygsimmered in as little water as posi-
. bic. The besteway to cook string beans
Is to merely simmer them for at least
two hours, when the water in which
they are cooked should be nearly or en-
tirely. absorbed. A little hot cream
sauce may now be added and the beans
may be boiled up once.-The House
keeper.
