Authors 4 Proofreader Had Met.

Some one, a man apparently, who
signs himself "B. T. p" is writing a
series of papers on Authors l Have
Met" for The Boston Transcript. How
do you suppose he has met his authors?
At the club or in the dining room? Not
at all. In a much more practical way
as a proofreader and compositor; and he
discusses them from q manuscript point
of view. The most of his meeting was
done in Boston, and he tells us how
amiable were such men as Robert G..
Winthrop, Josiah Quincy, Joseph Story
and other equally distinguished Boston
ians when they visited the printers. AS
a rule these gentlemen wrote carefully
and their manuscript was not difficult to
read. 1t was not until "B. I. P" came
to New York and had to read the proofs
of a pamphlet on "Intagliotype Print
ing" by Horace Greeley, that lie learned
what it was to have a really hard time
with a manuscript. When the ''galley
proofs came to h., they were almost
"pi," but he and his copy holder strug-
gled with them ard did the best they
could. He says:
Horace came in one morning to read
the authors proof, for he did not want
The Tribune folks to know just then
what he was upto. We were in fear and
trembling. But what was our surprise
to hear him remark to the boss, Your
proofreading here is better than it is in
The Tribune ofiicei' and he had made
but few changes. The boss was a fair
man and introduced Mr.. Greeley to re
peat the compliment. He did. l ex-
planned why. My c~opyholder had been
q compositor on The Tribune and handled
the chirography before. Been in my Of
fce| q1eried Mr. Greeley. Yes, sir
Come back to it, / lost him"
l don't wonder that Mr.. Greeley did
not want to part with q man who could
read his handwritin&.-Critic

Housewives must often have wondered
where all the rags go to after they pass
into the wagon OF any one Of the several
hundred ragmen who pass through the
alleys with their monotonous cries.
These gatherers of old rags take them to
warehouses where they are bought liz
bulk, and then assorted by girls accord
ing to quality. There was a time when
most of the rags were sent to paper
mills. Now a very small proportion of
rags are made into paper, straw and clay
being the chief ingredients. Fine linen
paper, so called, is made of rags. Ninety
per cent. of the rags collected, however,
go into the manufacture of "shoddy," of
which cheap ready made clothing i.
manufactured. This stuff is new made
up into the brightest and most attractive
patterns, and can only be told when new
from wool by the expert, and by expert
ence with the wearer.-Clothing Man III

Cowhide Horseshoes.

In England, and on many parts of the
continent, they have been for a long

made by COMPRISING common cowhide.

much lighter, that it lasts longer. and
that split hoofs are never known in horses

bottom, no calks being required. the shoe
adhering firmly on the most polished
surface. Its elasticity prevents many

The Fairy Milk-WeIl.
e. A. K, in "The Kindergarten."l

e. A. K, in "The Kindergarten.
Long, long ago, sad time came to
Babyland. The good, kind rain
clouds stayed away and did not come
for many days, to shade the trees
and grass. The hot sun shone down
every day, and its bright eye burned
into all the green leaves, SO that they
grew dry and almost brown. At night
the trees and grass rested from this
scorching heat, and drew up the sweet
cooling drops of water from the brown
earth. And they sent their roots out
after the little brooks and the big
rivers, to beg for more drops. But
day after day the earth grew drier
and the little streams grew smaller
and the big rivers carried less water
between their high banks. For the
hot sun was begging hard for the
drops, and every day thousands of
them went sunward in their fairy, in
visible dresses. So the leaves on the
trees shriveled up and gave less shade,
and the grass in the meadows grew
dry and small. Then the good COWS,
who had furnished sweet milk in
plenty to all the little people, stood
patiently chewing their cuds in the
shade of the shriveled trees, and
would not 60 down in the hot meadow
to eat. For the sweet juice was gone
from the grasses and so the COWS had
but little milk for the children. The
babies cried for milk and grew thin
and pale. Their mothers hearts
grew sad and heavy, for they could
not find anything so good as milk for
babies.
Good fairy Milcha loved little chill
dren best of all people. She was
sorry to see them hungry and pale.
So she flew to her green, beautiful
fairy glen, so deep in the woods that
the bright sun had not peeped in at
all. With her fairy wand she touched
an old stump, and forth gushed a
fountain of delicious milk. No COW
ever gave any milk so sweet, so good.
Then she gathered in her arms
every puny, wailing baby, and
brought it thither. All through the
hot summer the milk-well flowed and
fed the little people. The babies
nestled in the arms of the dear fairy
and eudtled at her feet, and said in
baby words, "Milca, dear Milcha!"
And the mothers laughed softly, and
were happy, and said, "Dear
Milchal" And every little baby, to
this day says, sweetly, "Milcha,
Milcha."

WHO SETS THE FASHIONS Z?

From Young Idea.
Who sets the fashions I'd like to know,
For the little people beneath the snow?
And are they working weary while,
To dress themselves in the latest style?
There's Mrs Primrose, who used to be
The very picture Of modesty,
Plain were her dresses, but now she goes
With crimps, and fringes, and furbeloWs.
And even Miss Buttercup puts on airs
Because the color in vogue she wears.
And as for Dandelion, dear mel
vainer creature you ne'er will see.
When Mrs. Poppy-that dreadful flirt-
Was younger she wore but one plain skirt,
But now notice with great surprise,
She's several patterns of largest size.
The Fuchsia sisters-those lovely bellies
Improve their styles as the mode compels;
And though everybody is loud in their praise
They meier depart from their modest ways.
And the Pansy family must have found
Queen Elzabeth's wardrobe underground,
For in velvets and satins of every shade
Throughout the season they're all arrayed.
Pinks and Daisies and all the flowers
Change their fashions as we change ours;
And those who knew them in olden days
Are mystifed by their modern ways.
Who sets the fashions, I'd like to know,
For the little people beneath the snow?
And are they busy weary while,
Dressing themselves in the latest style?
This mightbe spoken by little girl dressed
In white with her hands full Of flowers.

A Spelling-Bee.

"Pm going to have a spelling-bee
