Earnings of POpu!ar Authors.

A simple glance over the list Of
American authors is in itself a con-
vincing evidence that literature is not
so profitable as our literary paragraph
ers would have US believe. Very few
of our modern authors find themselves
able to depend entirely upon the
revenues of their work. I will not say
that they could not do so; I merely
state the fact that they do not. Mr..
Gable, for example, devOtes consider
able time to iecturing. Mark Twain is
now more of a publisher than an au-
thor. Joel Chandler Harris is an ed
itOr as is Richard Henry. StOddard.
DR.. Holmes has found his medical praci
tice immensely valuable to him for
years before he reached an eminence
in literature accorded to but few.
Marion Harland and Margaret =.
Sangster both find the editorial chair
profitable; likewise John HabbertOn,
Mr.. Aldrich, Mr.. Warner, and Mr..
Glider. Bret Harte's consulate was
not purely accepted for the honor it
brought. Mary Mapes Dodge doubt
less finds more peace Of mind in the
assured income which her position as
editor of st. Nicholas brings her than
in the lottery of simple authorship.
m0eeQs Jnefe are put Few &uGuOES OF
to-day who do not harness some other
duties to the mere writing of stories,
poems or novels. I do not write these

That so broad an extent of country

long a time in this century of travel is
due in part to its geographical position,
but chiefly to the hostility of the Indian
tribes that inhabit it.

of note that the Indians of the Chaco are

by the following adventure related by
Mr. Wilhelm b. Marin, a young gentle
man who spent several months last sea-
son exploring the course of the River
Pilcomayo:
Mr.. Marin is an enthusiastic believer
IN the future of the Chaco, which, he
confidently predicts, is destined not LONG
hence to become the Garden State Of
South America. His exploration was ef-
fected by means of a small steam launch
which he shipped to South America in
sections, and set up at Asuncion, on the
Paraguay River, near it's confluence with
the PilcomayO- Both the Pileomayo
and the VermejO are large rivers, not
less than eight hundred or a thousand
miles in length, which flow down out OF
the ChacO and unite with the Paraguay
and the Parana to form the Rio de la
Plata

little steamer, in honor of the great
African explorer whose deeds he would
emulate in the South American continent.

THE DAWN OF EASTER.
Significance Of tho Day TO tho Civilized
World.

O>SAAAAAooA1So "a Sk1O O1y 20 tho OAV1I1GOo
World.
To-day the Christian world passes
from the gloom Of the somber and peni-
tential Lent into the light of renewed
life and activity, better prepared to dis
charge the duties and responsibilities
OF life through the rest and fruitful
contemplation the season of solemnity
has afforded. Time itself is in harmony
with this. renewal, and with opening
buds, boaming sun and song of birds,
nature is a chime. The social gayety
that gave place during the forty days to
more sober and serious reflection again
resumes its sway, its pleasure all the
greater for the respite from its oft ex-
acting and wearying duties.
As time goes on there seems a greater
disposition to return to Lent as fitting
time for thoughtful contemplation and
for the temporary abandonment of mere
pleasure. However the Individual may
view Lent, whatever may be his re-
Igious predictions, he can not but be
influenced to greater or less extent by
the, atmosphere Of devotion that per-
vades the period, and If not moved by
personal conviction, at least pays re-
oPSSotAA 0S1OASASO w VIC
ing the great mass Of the people. Thus
Lont finds him an observer of its rest,
If not its austerities, and he gains In
physical and mental recuperation, how
ever non-affected he may be in spirit
ual sense. Thus is the influence of the
season felt by all. To vast number it
Is a season when faith is strengthened
and the mind purified and ennobled; to
others it affords that opportunity and
Inspiration to serious contemplation
which can not but be productive of
moral elevation, while to those least in
fluenced by its presence it brings re-
freshing rest from social demands and
exactions. ......-.
! To-day the shadows OF Lent depart,
and the bright, uncloudcd sun of Easter
bestows upon the earth Its kiss Of peace
full benediction; to-day, throughout the
length and breadth of Christendom,
man hears the hosannas Of praise and
thanksgiving, and earth, refreshed, pur-
ified and frightened, catches the happy
inspiration Of the hour; to-day life takes
up with renewed strength and clearer
mental vision those duties and respon-
sibilfties which make it worth the liv-
ing, and the stone is rolled away from
the grave of darkness, doubt, envy and
selashness, in which human hearts and
human minds arc frequently and sadly
epulchred.-Boston Budget.

A Gracious Thing from Louis XIV.

With all his faults Louis XIV. knew
how to conduct himself as great King;
among his other qualities he was o
master oS the art OF paying noble COM
pliments. On one occasion he stood at
the top Of the grand staircase to receive
the heroic Conde 1fter the battle of
Senef (1674). Tho Prince, then in his
fifty-fourth year. was troubled with
gout and ascended tho stairs slowly.
When he had reached tho top he apol-
ogized for keeping his Majesty waiting
so long. "My cousin" replied the
monarch, "make no apologies; one who
is 80 laden with laurels as you are can
not move quickly" .
