Thackeray's Dross and Coli.

Thackeray composed and wrote his
novels on long note paper in. the most
feminine handwriting. The manuscript
he frequently took down to his pub
Usher in the crown of his hat, stopping
en- route at the Garrick Club to take
lunch or the anteprandial cocktail His
habit of composition was methodical.
When writing "Philip on His Way
Through the World. he told, with serio-
comic earnestness, of the necessity he
was under of spinning out more chap
tiers because it was necessary to put an
other story on his house at Kensington
Garden, and Philip must do the job. On
that occasion he said: "Do you know
that both Dickens and myself 'are impos-

out our own views very much, and dig
out more dross than ORE Thackeray
was too sensitive to make a good
lecturer or take pleasure in appearing

did. He used to say: Hang this

NORWEGIAN COOKERY.
Schools for Instruction in the Culinary

Schools for Instruction In the Culinary
Norway boasts several practical in
situations in the way of schools, and a
little information about one Of these
may not be without interest. The school
in question is situated at some miles dis
lance from Christiania, and looks, as
one approaches it, like an ordinary
farmstead, with dairy, etc. The in
terror is plainly but neatly and taste
fully arranged. There are six pupils,
who are divided into two sections, and
every one Of them is occupied in accord
ance with fixed plan.
In the forenoon one section has the
work'of the house, and must do the work
both of the mistress and the servants.
They each have number. Number
One. for instance, lis busy in the kitchen,
Number Two is making the rooms tidy,
and Number Three attends to the dairy.
The other section is at the same time
engaged in weaving, sewing, cutting
out, etc. AS sections and numbers
change every week, all the girls get the
different work in turn.
At twelve o'clock dinner is served,
and then follows some hours instruc-
ton in Norwegian, photography, botany,
! natural science, etc. The garden, which
is always in beautiful order, is also en-
tirely kept up by the pupils.
The school is more particularly in
tended for peasant girls, and each
course lasts a year; the pupils must
have completed their eighteenth year
before entering the school. The pay
including every thing, is only Is kr
| (about 50 month, and there are
two pupils free. Similar schools are te
be erected in various parts of Norway
at the instance OF the Society for tn.
Welfare of Norway. The number o
applicants has been ten times greater
than the accommodation. IN. Y. Ledger

A DESPERATE GAME.
The Fate of the Force Bill Decided b.
the Nnyemher Election.

The Fate of the Force Bill Decided by
the November Election.
The madness of the Republicans in
trying to force through Congress this
measure which the people have rejected
becomes more plain when one recalls
the fact that everywhere during the
campaign of last fall the Republicans
confessed that the fate of the force bill
depended upon the result of the election,
and asked support of Republican candi-
dates for Congress on the ground that
the election of Democratic House
would be interpreted by the Republic
ans in the Senate as meaning that the
country did not wish them to concur
with the action of the House. Thus the
address sent out by the Republican
State Committee of New York on the
goth of October said among other things:
The House Of Representatives also sent over
to the Senate bill for securing fair and free
election for Representatives in Congress
throughout the Union. Only one step
more is required to set on firm ground the fair,
free choice OF Representatives in Congress in
every district in every State 1t is possible by
the loss of the next House OF Representatives
to endanger the election bill now pending in the
Senate.
In other words, before election the Re
publicans said to the people: "Elect a
Republican House and the Senate will
accept the verdict as an instruction to
pass the Lodge bill, while Democratic
victory will be interpreted by that body
as a vote of want of confidence in the
policy" This was according to the
theory of popular go rernment, while
the present attempt to pass this re
jected bill by brute force is nothing
less than an assault upon the system o.
representatiye institutions Y. Post

'
Seven Wives.
st. Thomas, one of the West India
islands, is a Danish possession and hasa
curious history. 1t fourished in the
past only on it's own vices and its neigh
bors' misfortunes. When it grew virtu-
GUS it ceased to be happy. Its neigh.
bors' gain proved its own loss. Slavery
was an institution until 1s4S, and until
that time sugar was cultivated with
success that studded the thirty-three
square miles of the island S surface with
large plantations and handsome man
sions. But in that fatal year slavery
was abolished the colored population,
which is more than three-quarters Of
the whole, preferred to give up steady
work, and now only few vegetables,
little fruit and some green grass are
cultivated st. Thomas had long been
a commercial center. The Royal Mail
Company and other lines had made the
island their principal rendezvous for
steam packets, and during the American
civil war commerce received great but
temporary stimulus. Unfortunately for
St. Thomas the war could not last for
ever, so trade began to decline, and
when, in 1885, the Royal Mail Company
removed it's headquarters to barbados,
the death blow was given to the COM
merce of the island.
It has one town named Charlotte
Amalie, but the natives insist in call
ing it, as well as the island, st. Thomas.
The town is garrisoned by a force OF
100 men, who protect the lives and lib
critics Of 5000 citizens. The little town
| lies at the foot Of high hills covered
| with stunted trees and shrubbery. It
is picturesque, with it's white houses,
mostly reed rooted, and only wants q
big church to recall some Of the small
towns along the Italian Riviera. Above
it stands two ancient towers called
Bluebeards and Blackhead's castles.
They were built two centuries ago by
brothers, one OF whom had happy fac
ulty of getting rid Of his wives-hence
the name Bluebeard--and was not
called to account by his Maker until he
had made an end of seven Mrs. Blue
boards. Louis Globe Democrat
