WHAT THEY WRITE FOR.
Authors Covet Fame. But They Have an
Eye on the Dollars. Too.


Eye on the Dollars, Too.
The day-laborer who carries bricks up
ladder, or mixes mortar at its foot, is
not supposed to perform his task from
philanthropic motives. 1t may occur
to him that to assist in providing a
shelter for his fellow-men is a good
thing to do. but if the virtue of the
labor were its sole reward, he would see
his fellow-men further ere he used his
flexors and extensors to put them under
cover. But il is popularity believed that
authors are moved to write by higher
incentives than those which urge the
ordinary working-man to pursue his
daily toll.
AS regards seven-eighths of all who
write for the public. this belief is a mis-
take. PROFESSIONALLY there are highly
gifted men and women with whom the
public utterance of the great thoughts
that surge through their prolific brains
is a positive necessity, but these are
few and far between. Bread and butter
is the leading incentive of half the pop
ular writer's of the day. Even that van
ity which springs eternal in the human
breast would scarcely be sufficient
motive power to drive the pens of great
historians, poets, philosophers and
polemics, if Fame, after blowing her
trumpet in their honor, did not convert
it into horn of Plenty, and pour from
it the golden fruit Of Success.
As rule the author regards his
brains, not as an instrument he is
bound to use for the benefit of man
kind. but as a bread-winner. If he de-
votes his pen exclusively to moral work
he may feel like the brick-layer's labor
er. that his toll is useful and honorable,
but nevertheless, he would be very apt
to let the world go to the bad without
ate mpting to lecture it, if the only pay
of moral essayists was the luxury of
doing good. N. Y. Ledger.

saw the frame in two, and you have two
perfect gates, one eleven feet and one

hinge your gates before saving them

solid post should be dug into the
ground, not less than two and one-half
feet deep, and firmly wedged with
stone, but if wet or loose soil, then a
sill should be dug in the ground the
depth of tho post-bole and in line with
the fence, into which fasten the post
and put on pull-brace opposite the
gate. A post extending six inches
above the ground, with shoulder on
the top should be used where the gates
come together for them both to rest on
at the same time. But If the gate is
desired to swing both ways, which IL
should do for convenience, then hooks
should be used to hold the gate in
place. A slide latch, which is very con-
venient, if used should slide on the
short gate, SO as not to get knocked off
or injure stock The five-foot gate is
sufficiently large for The admission of
stock and gives fifleen-foot passage
when used for the wagon, and neither
one is too heavy for the children to
open or shut. The smaller gate should
always swing both ways, as matter of
safety to stock passing in or out

Asparagus on Unmanured Soil.

At late meeting of farmers in Bos-
ton, the remarkable statement was
made, and corroborated by several of
the participants familiar with the case,
than ON the asparagus ground of the
two Messrs. Coolidge-Joshua and
John-who grow some of the best
''grass" that goes to the Boston market,
no manure at all has been used for at
least ten years, other than the tops,
and a liberal annual dressing of salt,
usually taken from pork or fish barrels.
People were long prevented from rails
ing this most excellent vegetable be-
cause of the preposterous requirements
laid down by those who first wrote about
it. The fact is, says contributor to
Vick's Monthly, that it is the most east
ly grown and simplest in its require
ments of any vegetable, while there is
none more healthful or more enjoyed,
coming before any other and having a
distinct and agreeable flavor all its own.
Its use is especially recommended as a
tonic for the nerves. The chief require
ments are dry, warm, fertile soil, some
shelter from high winds and room
enough for it's mass of roots. 1t will do
we'll even in an upland meadow, with
out culture or manure and surrounded
by other growths, If the soil is good and
if it is not crowded or injured by cattle.
About four feet by two is the preferred
distance apart A bed will last life
time, once planted and not abused. Its
few demands for care make it especial
ly desirable for farmers garden. The
growth and size Of the sprouts depend
much on the full, uninjured growth of
the tops after cutting ceases, about mid
June, when green peas come IN. Ma
nure enables more good sprouts to be
grown on less area, and often tenderer
but not richer. -Farmers' Review.

Under No Circumstances should Expenses

Economy does not mean to pinch and

may practice strictest economy, ard yet
have plenty and be liberal. Prudence
and judicious management of capital
at hand, never making an expenditure
recklessly, without refection-this is
what constitutes true economy. 1t is
not so much the amount paid out, as for
what purpose that sum, however small,
has been spent The great secret of
success in practical economy lies in a
careful consideration of petty expenses,
and rational distinction between what
is essential and what is superfluous.
The smaller item should not be unde-
serving OF recognition.
Under no circumstances should ex-
penses exceed income. &c is always

A Suggestion to Employers.

The quality that enabled a man tc
make it a pleasure for his employees tc
work for him." was valuable one, and
one that had much TO do with his sue
cess. just what it was may be difficult
to tell. Perhaps it was the interest he
showed in their welfare, the smile with
which he greeted them. the considerate-
ness with which he treated them IL
bargaining and paying; or it may have
been something else. 1t was not
solely in the amount of wages he
gave them, for il is not alleged that he
gave them more than was paid by
others. There is magnetism in some
men that is not possessed by others,
and since it is native quality it can
not be secured by those who are with
outfit. At the same time. it is possible
for men to make themselves more
agreeable than they are, and if this be
done, they may overcome the natural
defect of GOODNESS or harshness. How
easy is the work-by the carpenter, the
mill-man. the miner, the cook, the
clerk, even the preacher-when the
employers make it pleasure. -United
