Are NanuscriDts Read?

Il seems pet idea with some authors to
trouble themselves over the oft mooted quos-
ton, Are all the manuscripts which come to
magazines carefully read?' There are some
manuscripts that 90 unread, for the reason
that their unworthiness is apparent from the
opening page, and often from the opening
sentence. Or, their upsuitability will be re-
vealed from their subject title, and it is then
that the editorial decision is made regardless
of the literary merit which the article may
possess. The most attractive and best COM
posed articles are OF 5times the most unsuited
for the magazine to which they are submitted.
And therein comes the tact of correct appli-
cation so often lacking with authors.
But of the thousands of manuscripts sent
to the mas,sZines each yeer each one receives
examination, some more, some less, precisely
in proportion to their relative merit, and of
this authors can feel assured. The funny
paragrapher has magnifed the EDITORS waste
basket far beyond its normal proportions.
In reality, but few manuscripts are consigned
thereto and those which do fod their way
therein richly deserve the interment. Repu-
table publications viii always return manu-
scripts where postage is inclesed, except liz
special instances, and then the declaration is
always made in some conspicuous place OF
the periodical Authors, as rule, are safer
in the hands Of tho editor today than they
were twenty years ago. If tho literary sup
ply has increased, so has the demand

Tho Hard Way.

Take peep at the cook who makes s1lrh
hard work Of her task that no wonder she
breads to have cooking day come around, and
learn from her difficulties lesson She first
brings from the pantry to the Kitchen every
thing she thinks she may need-the dish of
eggs, a firkin of sugar. pan Of -four, plate
of butter, besides boxes OF soda, cream of tar
tar and spices and bottles of favoring ex-
tracts Dishes without number are there too
Then she measures into pint bowl the sugar
with a cup. Next she measures into another
cup her butter, the milk in another, and takes
another cup to measure out what -four she in
tends to use. Then the baking powder is
measured into the -four with a spoon and
second spoon is used for whatever flavoring is
put into the cake. A knife is used for the
butter and a fork to whisk up the eggs The
sugar Is put into the mixing bowl and the
butter stirred into it; then lett while the eggs
are beaten, and two Gu three journeys made
to the pantry in quest of something forgotten.
When the cake is ready for the oven the.sink
is full Of dishes to be washed and the thoughts
of putting away the unused dishes and clear
ing up the general disorder isenough to make
the tired feet and hands despair.-Lewiston

F1owerinS Peaches.

It would be difficult to name any shrub
more beautiful in spring when in blossom
than the Towering peach. There are, per-
hops, larger and more conspicuous flowers,
but none more beautiful 1t would be hard
10 point out any in which the flowers appear
so carly and so numerous as they do ON this
tree. There are three or four varieties of
it-white, pink, rose and crimson. These are,
of course, but common peaches, with double
flowers, and, as with most all double flower
ing plants, but little or no fruit or seed are
produced. Still this peach does fruit occe-
sionally, but for this ii is of no account. It
is the double blossoms that give it the value
it has for planting
those do that appear the first of all in the
spring, and it is because this peach does this,
as well as its lovely blossoms, that it is held
in such high regard. Before winter is over
the buds are filing out and seem impatient
for spring to come. The first few sunny days
of April bring them out Where there is
room for them, group composed OF all the
kinds affords a lovely sight when in bloom.
A singular trait in these trees is that the
color of the wood betrays the flower, most
distinctly in the case of the white one, and to
some degree in thot of the others. The best
time to plant these trees is in the spring, in
fact it is the only safe time. Do not let them
grow as they will, il you wish pretty treo
or group; just prune little to give them
shape and keep them twiggy from top to bot
tom, as every twig produces sfoweSs.-Practi-

Home Decorations.

Any one who looks about and observes can
not fail to be impressed with the wonderful
changes which the last few years have
wrought in the decoration of our homes.
Schools of art have spread knowledge of
art, and above of art has grown in the hearts
Of the people until almost every makes
some effort to beautify their homes. That
these efforts not infrequently fall shortof the
mark is true, ana these failures are most
often seen in tho houses of the comparatively
rich, or at least wellto-do who have money
to crafty their fancies. AS sequence the
rooms are overcrouded with heterogeneous
collection OF furniture, bric-a-brac and links"
that they vainly imagine, because of its pro-
fuseness, is artistic. The world is full of
Phihstines, and their presence is nowhere
more manifest than in the decoration and
furnishing Of their houses--Philadelph
Record.

Boas of Lace, Feathers or Fur.

Boas of all kinds ara more in favor than
ever. In Paris there seems quite a mania for
them. They arc three or four yards long,
and are worn with low dresses at the theatre,
made of soft lace, OF feathers slightly tinted
white, gray or pink In fur SINE are light
and some dark, but always good quality and
soft. They are equally worn in the daytime
either gray, white or brown. Muffs are very
large, and when made in material are orna-
mented with quillings of lace and Large rib

word may be said about furnishing the
house, and this Is a matter of importance. It
Is safest not to over furnish, to have nothing
that is not good aud useful, to eschew worth
less br1c-a-brac and china, together with
cheap fans st,ck into all sorts impossible
places, and bits of drapery hung where they
can be Of no Use. Every room should look as
though 1t were designed fer occupation;
chairs should be comfortable and tables stand
firmly on their legs; screens have raison,
