Preparation of Manuscript.

Each pad of hundred sheets of the paper that I use has a foundation of colored cardboard When begin the manuscript of story take two of the foundation pieces, lay them face to face, and pierce holes in them with a good sized awl, on the left hand side, at a distance of three inches from the top and bottom and one-half inch from the edge Through these holes tape is passed, which is tied in bow knot, forming book cover which can readily be enlarged as the pile of manuscript grows thicker. lay the sheets between the covers, face down, as I finish them, thus having at all times a neat and handy volume to look over.
 When the whole manuscript is com pleted join the covers in the back by pasting strip of black muslin, Tapping nearly an inch on the edge of each GOV CT, taking care to have the muslin just wide enough to form firm back. Then I take the tape out of the holes, fur nish each of these with separate end of string and tie them into clasps. On the top cover paste a label, bearing the title of the book. It seems like an elaborate process, but one need only tc try it once to see how simple it is, and the manuscript remains neat during the natural course of its existence.-Cor Writer

The License of Novelties,

If a clever writer can reconcile it to his interests and artistic conscience we should allow hils to attempt the feat of making impossibilities seem probable, and extravagances appear real. He may people mad world of his own imagin- ing with demons and angels sharply divided. He may introduce tn, spirit ual or supernatural machinery, which seldom works very smoothly, even when put together by Bulwer-the story of 'The Haunted and the Haunters' is an exception-and which is exceedingly likely to break down. But of course he must hazard all that at his own risk, and with the betting very heavily in favor of seeing his clever novel cast aside.
 Extravagances are one thing and ab- surdities another, and we are not speak ing of those simply trashy tissues of folly by lunatics with no sort of literary vocation. which will not even serve the purpose of soporifics to any girl of dis cretion who is out of her teens. We think the most permanently popular novels, those which. have become the classics or favorites of successive gen. erations, although inspired by the gen. jus of glowing imagination, will be found to be those which have kept most closely to actualities and hold up the mirror to veritable persons-Sat- urday Review.

Cold Water Healthy,

Who ever thought of refusing to drink of pure mountain streams flow ing from melting snows? Not even the infallible Britons, who set down the drinking of ''iced water" as a trait of American depravities. A race of brandy drinkers would always find ice water dangerous to the raw membrane with with which they are lined from brain to base
 But ice, like water, needs to be clean before it is fit for drinking, and glance at the sediment in the ice pitchers is enough to raise grave doubts of the source of the ice supply. One must admire the thrift of the housekeepers in a central New York town who, find ing the ice crop scant or having no way to harvest it, on cold nights filled all possible pots and pans with well water and froze their own ice, freezing the cakes together next day till the blocks were thick enough to store away They at least had pure ice for the sum- mer, and I doubt if they ever found injury from using it.-shirley Dare in New York Herald.
