an earlier date, and then the explanation
given was that when the beginning Of the
year was changed from April | to Jan. the
people turned the first date from real into
mock New Years and burlesqued all The
solemn and social observances of the main
day.
This story did very we'll till better was
told; for when the British rule in India was
well established and scholars reproduced the
ancient records Of that land, they found traces
Of April Fool day there, and the Hindoos now
practice similar tricks on the 3lst Of March,
which they call the Hull festival. So tho
origin must be referred to some trait of the
old system of nature worship which was the
religion Of the primitive Aryans. No doubt
some popularity OF the season, perhaps the
general riot of the natural mans blood and
Of awakening nature, first suggested n day Of
sport and unreason, In the course of time
many Of the tricks and practical Jokes Of
April were COMPOUNDED with those Of the
Feast OF Fools, which must take rank as the
most extraordinary of the many fantastic fol-
lies which old paganism bequeathed to Chris
tianity.
It began with the Saturnalia. The Romans
believed that Saturn, after being dethroned
by his son Jupiter, had reigned long in Italy
and established a golden age. So they had a
6aturn's festival late in December, when all
strict etiquette was laid aside and all distinc-
tions Of rank abolished. Slaves ate tlrst and

1t is generally kuown that chemists can

stance very similar to sugar ard having the
same s"ceienil.s property. The Germans
arc, however, hard ut work trying to pro-
duce artificial sugar on large scale, and al
though its production for practical purposes
has not yet been realized, considerable ,,,l-
vance has been made, and step las been
taken toward successful results. Herr Emil
Fisher has succeeded in obtaining true
sugar, which is capable Of undergoing alco-
holic fermentation by means of yeast, just
like ordinary sugar.
There is only one thing wanting in this
new chemical sugar which causes it to differ
from the natural sugar, and that is that it is
optically inactive; it will not rotate beam
of polarized light either TO the right or left.
They call this sugar "acrose.n Glycerine,
that sheet anchor of so many recent investi-
cations, is the starting point in the prepara-
ton of acrose, which must not be CON
founded with ''saccharue," which is not t,

Artistic Book Covers.

ing novel and artistic designs for book covers
by publishers i'll the east, and the dies for
most of tho new ones have been designed es-
pecially for the particular use. But in the
west, where books are not published by tho
publishers at their own expense, book cover
designs are not usually elaborate. When n
man wants book published, he generally
asks for some stock die, not caring for an
original design for the cover. It is not real

In 1765 Dibdin transferred his services to
Drury Lane, where he had the usual disa-
greements with Garrick in regard to money
matters One would hardly be justified III
applying the term .unscrupuloust to Cur
rick; but he undoubtedly knew the value OF
money better than those who served him, and
it was not his fault if he got tile worst of d
bargain. Dibdin signalized himself at Drury
Lane by his writing of the music for s'The
Paddock" and yet for his share in the work
he received only e45, while Bickerstaff, the
author of the words got 81 ZOO.
As he says himself, however, he was of m
easy and credulous temper, and, us we may
say for him, he was also extravagant and
improvidont, being indeed kind Of Cold
smith Of his profession. He parted with
most of his early writings without proper
agreements, and in consequence got hand
somely cheated. His renowned song, "The
Waterman he sold for two guineas; tsNoth-
ing Like Grog," for half guinea, and SO on.
Thus, while he was always working hard, his
existence for the greater part of his career
was little better than the hand to mouth one
Of the third rate professional
Garrick seems to have found him of signal
service at the Stratford jubilee, as well as
at Drury Lane, yet they do not appear to
have ut any time pulled well together. The
young composer had become indebted to the
actor to the extent of ESQ, and he tells us
that Garrick made him slave at song writing
for the Shakespeare celebration till ''he had
better gone to jew for the money.n On
one occasion the actor said to him apropos Of
his debt, II can take down the pegs that
make this niusc;;" to which Didbin replied,
"Yes, as honest as you are"
At another time Garrick, having previous
ly failed to satisfy Dibden with some verses
for music, produced the words OF the ron
deau beginning, "Sisters of the tuneful
strain" and asked Didbin if the piece would
do. YES" was the reply, sit is tuned 50
musically that it sets itself. 1t is certainly
the best you have ever written" The ron
deau turned out to be by birmingham, and
If Dibdin was unaware Of this fact he, at
any rate got credit for knowing it, for the
expressed opinion.
Garrick seems, indeed, to have been a tire
some taskmaster, and with the consciousness
of superiority in his own line, at least, Db-
din must have felt intensely annoyed at the
constant mutilations to which his literary
and musical work was subjected by the
manager This, however, may have had its
good effect, though not exactly in the direc-
ton intended by Garrick. rritated beyond
measure by the frequent improvements"
made on his productions, Dibdin resolved to
rely on his memory only in composition, and
never to put his work on paper until all altera-
tions had been agreed upon. Feeling certain
that Garrick scarcely knew one air from
another, and that his criticisms were mere
affectation, he was accustomed to pretend to
adopt them with good grace. Then, wait
