Not Much fO Ask

A stout, choleric looking man hur
ried into a street car, on day when
the rain was pouring in torrents, and
glared angrily about, evidently much
displeased that there was no seat fol
him, although there were plenty OF
other people elutching at the straps OF
swaying about with more or less cheer
full countenances.
With snort of -displeasure the man
planted himself in front of a meek and
unotfending spinster who was squeezed
tightly into one corner of the car, and
placed his umbrella, from which was
running perfect stream of water, di-
rectly on one of her feet.
She looked up at him in mild dismay.
but he stared straight over her head
with most unpleasant expression.
After moment or two she said in a
clear though perfectly courteous tone:
Would you be kind enough, sir, to
remove your umbrella to my other foot
for moment, so that may empty my
subber"
Every one at that end of the car
smiled, except the man, who beat a re-
treat to the platform, without so much
as saying, II beg your pardon. -

Dimensions of the K,mber1sv M,n..


When first opened the Kimberley
mine had an area on the surface of
about fourteen acres, and diamonds
were found only within this area. Be-
yond the well defined limits of the mine
the black shales of the subcarbonifer-
Gus era occur, and as the mines were
opened deeper this material fell in and
greatly hindered the progress of min
ing. This shale was called by the min
ers reef" The reef continued to as.
sumo an angle of rest until the original
surface area had been increased to
thirty acres, when depth of $50 feet
had been reached in the mine.
Had this been better understood In
the first instance different methods of
mining would have been followed. and
the mine, which was worked on the
open quarry plan, would have, been
worked, as it is now made compulsory
to do, by outside shafts and headings,
The mine was first opened in 1871, and
by 1883 the amount of material actually
taken out was over 100000 tons.
which yielded 1880, 900 carats of dia-
monds, which were sold for over 800.

which has always been the most impor.
tant Ingredient, was found a periious
thing to deal with. It occasioned mnI.
titudinous accidents, and was also the
cause of widespread disease in the fac
tories. This complaint was of a most
dreadful character, causing decay of
the jawbones of operatives; but it has
been found that ventilation and clean
illness do away with it. Owing to the
danger of fires from the explosion of
matches the safety" variety has grown
much in favor of late years, the phos-

combined with the mixture applied to
the surface of the box, instead of form
ing part of the tipping substance of the

HINTS TO STORY WRITERS.

Valuable Suggestions to Those About to
Try Their Hand at Romancing.
Now that so many people amuse
themselves by writing novels, a few
hints concerning the methods to be OBJ
served are quite in order The first
requisite, of course, is to make your
characters as unlike real men and wom-
en- as possible. The heroine, if not
really beautiful, must possess a charm
of expression which instantly fascinates
all who behold it.
The advantage of this description is
that nine out of ten of your readers
will think that it fits themselves, and
will be pleased accordingly. She must
have several lovers, all handsome and
desirable in every way, and marry the
most eligible among them; this, as
every one knows, is what the flesh and
blood girl always does, which explains
why marriage is not a failure.
If an artist is introduced, give him
long hair and knickerbockers. Ed
erly aunts are always maiden" and
eccentric. Be sure to describe a char
acter of gentle birth as a coarse, bad
man or a driveling idiot; it is not to
be expected that generations of culture
can produce a gentleman; on the con-
trary, he must spring from the poorer
classes, and though not irreproachable
In the matter of personal cleanliness,
in true nobility of soul towers over the
of h.
an effelninate knight of the bath.
A detective is always outdone in his
own line of business by an amateur in
the same. A diary is an excellent We
hicle for conveying discriminating in
formation which otherwise could not
possibly have been discovered. Docu-
ments, when intended to be destroyed,
are torn up, never burned; how could
they subsequently be pieced together2
A will is made to be altered, left about,
or lost-if irretrievably, then see that
a subsequent and more equitable will
is discovered. Fire only breaks out
when girls are desired to appear in des-
habille. See, therefore, that the fire
never occurs during the daytime.
Ears should always be shell like;
feet, dainty; eyes, violet for heroine,
brown for honesty, gray for cruelty.
The hair may be any color. If false, it
denotes bad morals. In the case of a
woman, it is either gathered carelessly
into knot" drawn back from the
forehead" or braided at the back"
1t is always done simply, and moth
ing but "a single rose" is ever worn in
it. For description of hero, give a por-
trait of yourself as you think you are,
AS for the scene of action, if cottage,
it must nestle-and don't forget the
honeysuckle. A country house should |
be Elizabethan, a castle feudal, and a |
suburban residence picturesque Lon
