Authors Who Mrite Too ,rvch.

This idea of keeping before the
public is a good one in the main.
writes Edward w. Box in the Ladies
Home Journal, but it must be done
ludiciously and by good work. Just
here is where nine authors in every ten
fail. They think their quality is good,
but unconsciously it has become guam
tity instead. Unwittingly, they are
training their public, whose eve thew
caught with some early or striking
piece of work, to be perfectly ready to
drop them the moment q new star APP
pears upon the literary horizon. Few
authors of recent date made so pro-
nounced and instantaneous success as
Rudyard Kipling, but the public
hardly had time to catch its breath
after his first story, than along came a
second story, third, and so it has
gone on until six of his books are now
on the market, and series of injurious
newspaper articles in addition-all
within one year. The result is that
the best judges agree that Kipling is
OVERRIDING it. "Oh, we are having too
much of Kipling," is the general opin-
ion. In consequence, the sales of his
books are dropping off, and the name
of Rudyard Kipling is losing its magic.
The simple fact is, that the great gos-
pei of moderation applies to literature
as 1t does to everything else. And,
looking at it from a financial stand
point, this moderation pays. A good
author who writes only one story in a
year, ofttimes receives more for that
single piece of work than does he who
writes five or six novels during the
same period. No matter how clever
an author may be, how well he writes,
he cannot afford to overfeed his public.
The literary public likes its daintiest
desserts in small doses, and then, as in
everything else, there is created an
appetite for more.

TOUGH AND DUDE.

Very Rash Bum Gets Nut Into an In vol
untary Sleep.
Probably one of the most surprised
DULLES that ever attempted to make
game of man, now nurses q black eve
and broken nose, out in Milwaukee
where he lives. He was standing in the
doorway of Grand avenue store q few
nights since, talking with another
tough man and leering at every man
and woman who CHANGED to pass that
way, when, under the electric light
which bids the weary wayfarer welcome
in front of the Plankinton House. he
saw wha: he was pleased to call dude
coming in their direction, smoking a
cigar.
Dye see Their dude comm, missy ?"
he said to his companion.
Yes, an / tink it's dirty shame
dat he is spoilin' dat nice cigar when
he is only fit to smoke cigarettes.
Oats fact, me boy, an I'm blamed
If intend to stand it. See?"
What you going to do about it ."
Just watch me, an if 1 don't have
dat cigar inside of minute, den I'll
eat me hat, OATS ALL"
As the young man drew near, the
bully stepped from the door, and APP
preaching the unsuspecting pedestrian,
said:
Say, me lad, let me take your cigar,
will you?"
The young man thinking that the
fellow desired light, knocked the
ashes off his weed, and handed it to the
stranger, who, with smile, placed it
between his teeth.
What do you mean by that ?" asked
the astonished young fellow as he saw
the use his cigar had been put to.
20! OATS all right, bub," said the
tough man; "dis is q pleasant little
way dat have when time hangs heav-
lily on my hands. Run on home now
or your mother will be worried See?"
"Yes, think that see," replied the
young man as he stepped up in front
of the loafsr, "but. strange as it may
seem, my mother is not in the habit of
getting worried, and there is no occa-
sion of my shortening my stay with
you. Besides, / too, have q pleasant
little way of my own to pass away the
time when the same hangs heavily on
my hands. 1t is something like
this"
In another moment the bully was
stretched out on the sidewalk with one
eye closed, and when he arose a blow
on the bridge of his nose once more
laid him out. The young man. whom.
he had sized up as dude turned out to
be one of the crack boxers in the gym
nasium, and two blows of his scientific
fist had been sufficient to put the tough
to slcep.

As scarcely year has passed without

Great Father of Waters, it Is obviously
impossible TO even alude to them in this

So far as devising a remedy against
these terrible, inevitable and frequent
disasters, the engineering science of to-
day confesses itself unable to even sug-

Eggs I'm the Nest.

A charming story is told of Corliss,
the great engine builder, in Food,
Home and Garden:
A short time before his death Cor.
liss found it necessary to enlarge his
great machine shops, and set a squad
of men at work to prepare the material
for building.
While the masons were arranging to
blast a huge rock, workman, point
ing to bird lowering over a ledge high
up in the rock, said:
"That bird will have to change its
nesting in short order if it wants to
save its neck"
"Are there eggs in the nest ?" in
quired Mr.. Corliss, with evident in
terest.
~Yes, four little speckled fellows
over which the mother bird has been
fussing ever since we began to work, {"
replied the man. "The young birds
will soon be peeping through the deli
cate shells"
"Then let the work stop until the
birdlings are ready TO fly" was the
great-hearted mans command.

The Pennsylvania Railroad :
second Seash0re EXcur-
sion.

The first seashore tour, which left
mere Thursday, July 9th, was a most
successful one and many persons
who were unable to secure space will
avail themselves of the second tour,
which leaves Pittsburg, Thursday,
July 23rd. This tour offers choice
between Atlantic City, Cape May,
Sea Isle City, or Ocean City, as the
rate is the same for each.
The excursion tickets good for ten
days are to be sold at rate of S10.-
90 from Pittsburg, and at CORES
pondingly low rates from other sta
tions.
A special train of Parlor Cars and
Day Coaches will leave Pittsburg at
$50 4. NJ, for Philadelphia stopping
at all important junction points,
where connections will be made with
trains from branch lines. Passen-
gers will spend the night in Phila,
delphia and proceed TO the seashore
by regular trains of the next day.
On account of the dcsirability OF
the seashore points, the liberal limit
ard low rate of the tickets, and the
fine equipment of the special train,
this excursion presents the most at
tractive of summer outings
Tickets will be sold from stations
named below, and train schedule viii

THE LAST PERFORMANCES.
The Siege OF SebaStOpOl Will
be Continued for a Few
More Nights.

The many postponments OF the
Siege Of Sebastopol has necessitated
the extension of the regular time q
week or so longer than originally
set, and now the famous production
will be given on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday evenings until.
This is particularly pleasing an
nouncement, as each succeeding rep
sentating is received with greater
appreciation, and the stupendous
exhibition is now universally acknowl-
edged to be one of the most imposing
aud really delightful performances
that one can see. There is some
thing enchanting connected with the
pomp and circumstances of war that
is so graphically pictured while the
terrible bombardment, with its roar
ing cannon, fierce assaults, and explod-
ing bombs, is a picture that can never
be forgotten. Then, again, the
magnificent display of fireworks is
alone worth the expense of attending
the production and should not he
missed. These closing performances
should not be missed at any cost
and those who have not alreads feast
ed on the beauties of Sebastopol and
its Siege should not fail to take ad'
vantage of the opportunities that vii
soon slip from his grasp. All rail
roads are giving the advantage o
half rates, besides running specia
return trains to all points at the
close Of each performance.

EARRTED: :

During the middle days of last
week town people were aglow over
the report that Miss Daisie V. Holl-
oway daughter of II. c. Holloway d.
D., who is pastor of the Luth-
eran congregation of Mifflitown and
Licking Creek had eloped with
young man from Pittsburg on the af-
ternoon OF the 7th inst. The Doctor
came with his family from Pittsburg
in the first week of June, and not
many days afterwards young man
named James H. Gearing in the SER
vice of banking house in the Smoky
city visited the parsonage to pay his
address to the Doctors accomplished
daughter. There was no objection to
the young man suit at the parsonage
and again after lapse of a couple of
weeks the young man appeared and
this time pressed for marriage. No
objection was urged to the union of
the young people excepting their
youth, which is under twenty one
years. But James and Daisie were
not 10 be put OF in that way. They
however showed NO disapproval to

which she calls According to St.

in the Cosmopolitan is a guarantee
that excited criticism in Miss Rives'

During her two years residence

A Narrow Escape.

Rev. Mr.. johnson, q Methodist
minister..stationed at Rolling Prairie,
Ind. gives this account of narrow
escape he once had from being bur
ried alive. He was located in Lafa-
yette, Ind, some years ago, when he
was taken very sick. He fingered
for a long time, but his life was dis
paired of by his friends, and finally,
to all appearances, he died. Prep
arations were made for the funeral,
and in due time the body WAS placed
in a casket, and was awaiting burial.
AZ this time Rev. Mr.. Joyce (now
Bishop joyce came into the room to
look at the remains. He failed to

the objection toi: their plans but
sometime during the afternoon on the
9th inst. they walked away from the
parsonage ostensibly to make some
calls. Previous, however to this step
out Gearing had been TO see Joe Russ
colored man at the Jacobs House
and arranged with him to have a
conveyance on the North Hill south
of town and it was at that place
that they called. Joe was faithful
to his trust and landed them safely
at Port Royal station and received a
sum for the drive and enough besides
to pay the livery man from whom
he obtained the conveyance. The
conjecture and suspense at the Par
sonage as to what had become of
James and Daisie was set at rest on
the morning of the 7th by despatch
from New Jersey to Dr. Holloway
announcing the marriage of the
young people and in the issue of the
Philadelphia Inquirer of July 10 the
following notice appeared.

after his entrance a gust of wind

quite loud noise. He was looking

plainly saw the eyes of the man in
the coffin nervously move This led
to investigation and the discovery
that the man was still alive. The
work of restoration was begun at

recovery. Mr. johnson feels that he
owes his almost miraculous rescue
from the horrors of being buried
alive to the visit and observation of
of his friend, Bishop Joyce.
