WHAT AUTHORS EARN.
Calling That Does Not Always Yield
Rich Returns.

Calling That Does Not Always Yield
Rich Returns.
The simple fact is this: Select at ran
Iom one hundred modern authors, and,
anless you hit upon an unusual list, not
twenty-five will you find who, ii they
would tell you, are earning over two
thousand dollars a year by their pen.
This may sound discouraging, but
think the truth of the assertion will be
borne out by any well-posted literary
man. The author who earns more is
either a particular genius in his line or
he resorts to other and incidental kinds
of work, such as reading for the pub
fishing houses, editing books or writing
advertisements. But let him confine his
pen to purely legitimate literature, and
he must be Industrious and clever to
earn the snm stated above. | know it
is the fashion to quote fancy figures as
the income of certain authors, and in
some cases the figures are undoubtedly
true. But when figures are. cited as the
income of the author of good ability
and average reputation, be assured that
they are biased when they exceed two
thousand dollars or at the outside, two
thousand five hundred dollars per year.
Men like Mr. Howells, Frank Stockton,
Robert Louis Stevenson, Bret Harte,
Dr. Holmes, of course, are not referred
to here. They are exceptions and un-
questionably have large incomes. But
the rank and file of authors of good re-
pute, having names that are frequently
seen and have become familiar, is the
class / speak of in this paragraph. !

When the sociable man entered the
car he beamed benignly on all the

man with sandy mustache and for
bidding look, and after glancing first at
the straight standing collar of the
stranger and then at his cuffs as they
protruded from the end of his coat

AFFECTlONATE WHALES. :
They Fear Nothing as Long as Their
Young are In Danger.


Young are In Danger.
No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if it's calf is
haFpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boat
to meet its fate. Knowing this, the
whale fishermen always strike calf If
possible, and thus often make captures
that could not be effected under other
circumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware
of the snaring of her young she rushes
toward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
fin. She seems to lose all regard for
her own safety, and boldly attacks the
boat containing the whalemen, or cir
cles about it totally regardless of the
harpoons that are hurled at her and
enter her flesh.
Capt Scoresby relates a striking in
stance of this affection. One of his
harpooners struck a sucker" as the
calves are generally called, and in few
moments the mother rose close to the
boat Selling the young one she
dragged out of the boat about six hun
dred feet of the line and disappeared
beneath the water. Rising again she
darted furiously to and fro, frequently
stopping short and suddenly changing
her direction. For long time she
acted in this manner. and SO solicitous
was she for the welfare of her offspring
that she seemed totally oblivious to any
danger to herself. One of the boats
finally approached near enough to allow
a harpoon to be thrown at the dam.
After two failures one of the instru.
ments struck her, but she made no at
tempt to escape, but on the contrary
allowed three other boats to gather
about her, and was eventually killed
without any further resistance
Other.authorities claim that in some
instances the females desert their calves
in order to save themselves, but this
assertion has never been proved beyond
contradiction, the fact being we'll estab.
lished that only in isolated cases .has
this been observed by either scientists
or whalemen.-DetroitF Free Press.

GRAY DAWN.

gne dense white fog In drowsy folds
Bedeeks the sleeping rivers bed:
About the htlls it hangs and holds
In ragged patches, overhead,
It slowly, idly drifts away.
Tsle sullen mill-dam booms and roars,
And drenched wsh clouds Of flying spray
The wet, black rocks along the shores
Frown darkly at the coming day.
GRAY dawn peeps IN and sweetly smiles:
A light breeze, sweeping down the stream,
Lifts high the fog in snowy piles;
The suns first burning lances gleam
Along the pebbled river banks,
And misty hosts, in mad retreat,
withdraw their broken scattered ranks;
The bold sun marks their sad defeat
And dissipates their struggling fianks.
Grsy dawn gives place to ruddy day;
The gray sun swings through azure skies;
And skimming, where the ripples play, g.
The screaming flsh-hawks fall and rise.

Men With Doubles.

Carruthers, Scotch editor, looked sc
much like Thackeray that upon one oc-
casion when Carruthers called upon
Thackeray the maid who met him at
the door laughed in his face because
she thought her master in fit of alb
sent-mindedness had come home and
asked for himself. The likeness must
have been less remarkable, however,
than that between a southern presby-
terian minister and the elder of a
neighboring flock. The two were con-
stantly mistaken for each other, and
finally one day when the elder was in
New York he excused himself from an
acquaintance upon the plea that he
must go and speak to his friend, the
minister advanced toward large mir.
ror, and was actually about to hold out
his hand when he discovered that he
had mistaken his own reflection for his
flesh and blood double. Both parson
and elder have injured theft reputation
