Queer Ideas About Writer.

1t is popular impression that most per-
SONS are glad to answer questions in refer
ence to their own professions, or, in other
words, to talk shop" Few, however, of
the misguided takers who act on that sup
position have any idea of the discomfort
they may inf1ict on oversensitive spirits.
Writing much poetry nowadays?'
asked a reporter of poet, and one can
imagine the involuntary distaste with
which the latter shrunk from this bluff
attack.
81 suppose you are doing a good deal of
literary workp' said a visitor to well
known writer of short stories, to whom
she wished to make herself agreeable
Nothing to speak OF" was the gentle
reply.
A week later the same acquaintance ap-
peared again Now, really and truly,
aren't you writing anything?" she asked
with an engaging frankness which seemed
to challenge an equal candor.
Nothing to speak OF, i" was the courteous
answer, and with that she was forced to
be content, but it was not long before she
returned to the charge.
"How could you tell me you were not
writing anything?" she asked, reproach-
fully. Yesterday | heard your mother
say that you were too busy with book of
translation to do anything for the fair
Excuse me-" said the victim, goaded
into explanation. 81 merely said: Moth

Frankly Pleased.

"Hans Christian Andersen" said one
who saw him often, twas the most charm
ing egotist ever knew" When the Dan
ish crown prince brought home his Swedish
bride, in the summer of 1869, a great assem-
blage of people stood in the streets of
Copenhagen to see the royal couple pass.
In one group were several distinguished
women and the great story teller, Hans
Christian Andersen. The women occupied
front seats at the window, and received
marked attention from the court digni-
taries in the procession.
Some one in the company remarked that
this particular window seemed to possess
peculiar attractions.
'Oh, yes," said the aged poet, pleased
and happy in his seat where he had been
seen by nobody, everybody knows me-"
The quiet smile that went round the
group had no trace OF unkindness. His
childish vanity was one of the amiable
traits of the gentle old man Everybody
knew and loved it.-Youth's Companion.

WAYS of Artists.

There is one artist in New York who
never gets into furry over the comments
that are made about him in the papers, al
though good many of them are deroga-
tory. The reason of this serenity is that
he never sees the articles, if he can help it,
but when, as frequently happens, some
thoughtful friend cuts out a slurring no
tice and sends it to him, so that he can see
what is being said about him, he calls phi
losophy to his aid and drops it into the
waste basket. He says, 81 don't want to
see criticisms unless they are favorable,
for it. makes no difference in my work
what the papers say about it, and it's not
pleasant to be abused"
Another painter. whose studio Is but a
few doors away, does take umbrage and
talks ferociously, too. if anything is said
about him in dispraise; but the oldest fea-
ture Of his case is that he speaks sighting
ly of his own pictures and the published
criticisms merely echo his own remarks.
He confesses that he paints ''these things"
not because he likes them, but because the
dealers and customers call for them and
there is ready money in them; but let a
newspaper say as much and he flashes up
like powder. He doubtless thinks that he
can abuse his own pictures without being
overheard, but he knows that published
comment is apt to go further, and if it ex-
erts influence is liable to hurt the sale of
his work.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Combustible Substances.

There are many substances which viii
produce what is called spontaneous com
bustion when brought into contact. and
which are therefore sources of danger when
left about the house Greasy rags and rags
which have been wet with turpentine or
alcohol should beAburned as soon as used.
The merest spark may cause blaze where
olive oil or any other vegetable oil is mixed
with rags, hay, sawdust or any such COM
bustible material Fine sawdust is a very
combustible material, and should not be
used. as il very often is, TO collect the drip
pings Of oil casks in shops or warehouses.
Lampblack mixed with linseed oil is one
of the most infammable Of substances. A
common source of fire in houses comes
from the tlmbers dried by the steam, bot
air or not water apparatus 1t is safest TO
destroy at once all greasy rags of whatever
kind or description. for these may in a mo-
ment of negligence become the cause Of
great destruction.-New York Tribune

Ranar Bella.

One of the largest establishments in this
country has for some time been turning
out paper belts that have the reputation of
being superior in many respects to those
of leather. These belts are made from
pure linen stock, and are of any desired
thickness, width or length, having also a
driving power equal TO any other of equal
surface, and while it is not claimed for
them that they are adapted to all kinds of
work, they are found to serve well as
straight driving belts of not less than five
inches in width.
Where they have been tested side by
side with leather belts for strength and
durability, they are alleged to have proved
equally satisfactory, adhering very closely
to the pulley, generating no electricity
while running, being also flexible and
unaffected by temperature within ordinary
limits, though there is one place in which
they cannot be used. and that is where
they have to run in water. or where they
would be constantly subjected to moisture
1t is admitted that this kind of betting is
best adapted 10 heavy driving belts and
for this purpose it is not only much the
cheapest material, but when once in posi-
tion will run until worn out-New York

rhs Corot. and the crown


Once on a time many crows lived in the
edge of some woods. A little out into the
plain stood a very large tree, with much
sand under it. One day coyote was pass
ing and heard the crows singing and danc-
ing under this tree, and came up to watch
them. They were dancing in q circle, and
each crow had upon his back large bag.
Grow friends, what are you doings"
asked the coyote, who was much interested
"Oh, we are dancing with our mothers" :"
said the crows.
How pretty! And viii You let me dance
too!" asked the coyote of the too-whit-lah-
widdeh crow captain of the dancel
"Oh, yes" replied the crow. $50 and
put your mother in a bag and come to the
dance"
The coyote went running home. There
his old mother was sitting in the corner of
the fireplace The stupid coyote picked up
a stick and struck her on the head and put
her in a bag, and hurried back to the dane
with her.
The crows were dancing merrily and
singing;
"Ai mana, que-ee-rah. que-ee-rah." !"
(Alas, Mama, you are shaking, you are
shakingD The coyote joined the dance,
with the bag on his back, and sang as the
crows did
"Ai mana, que-ee-rah, que-ee-rah-" Al
mana is an exclamation always used by
mourners.
But at last the crows burst out laughing,
and said. What do you bring in your
bag?'
''My mother, as you told me" replied the
coyote. showing them.
Then the crows emptied their bags, which
were filed with nothing but sand, and few
up into the tree, laughing
The coyote then saw that they had played
him a trick, and started home, crying "Ai
nanap When he got home he took his
mother from the bag and tried to set her
up in the chimney corner, always crying,
"Ai mani. why don't you sit up as beforef"
But she could not, for she was dead. When
he found that she could not sit up any
more be vowed to follow the crows and
eat them all the rest of his life, and from
that day to this he has been hunting them,
