A Singular Novelist.

Not long ago the Paris newspapers re-
corded the death and cremation of NJ. Jules
Stapleaux, a writer of romances which
were published as feuilletons ut the foot of
the columns of French country journals.
Stapleaux was well known to the liter
airy men of Paris, who describe him as one
Of the brightest of conversationists, but
probably the worst story writer in France.
The badness, from literary point Of view,
of his stories was well known to Stapleaux
himself, who took jokes on the subject
good naturally.
A newspaper once engaged him to write
o serial as feuilleton. 1t ran daily, until
the subscribers began to stop their papers
IN large numbers, when one day the pro-
prietor of the journal came to the author
of the unpopular romance.
Look here!" he exclaimed. "Your
story has been running six months and
bids fair to last forever. The subscribers
are in rebellion"
"Well2" said Stapleaux innocently.
"Well! will give you just three days to
wind the thing upr'
Impossible! Just think of it. The
countess is at Clermont, Jean Duroc is
away off in Martinique. Cherbaty, the spy,
is on the point of being arrested. How in
the world am | going to bring all this to a
wind up in three chapters"
Il don't know" said the publisher, "but
give you warning that / shall cut you off
short in three days.
He went away. At the end of the third
installment thereafter the publisher was
pleased to see the words The end, " writ
ten in trembling hand. He sent the num-
Der to press joyfully, without reading it,
and when the paper came out was aston
ished to see that the last paragraph read
as follows:
I'VE shall tell, in another story to follow
this as sequel, what became of the coun-
tess and how the adventurous journey of
Jean Duroc terminatedr'-Youth Com

Some Curious Facts About Violin.

BosToS. Fen. Sa.-There is always more
or less dust that falls into the interior Of
a violin. or in fact any stringed instrument
with an aperture. After awhile this dust
collects in a little bail. which rolls about.
and TO this all the succeeding accumula-
tons adhere. until. like n SNOWFALL that
the children roll about, il rapidly grows in
size. Strange rs il may seem TO those I'M
acquainted with the vagaries of musicians,
this little dust ball is quite an object of
pride 10 the owners heart. OF course il
could readily be removed. but the fact is it
really keeps the instrument clean. and as
1t slowly moves about the player knows
that it is acting like tiny broom, keeping
the dust away from the neck and sides,
and is really what might be termed an in
animate Scavenger.
Not less curious than this is the fact that
In many of the old towns and cities of the
Fatherland where violins are msnuiac-
tured, whenever an old house is condemned
ana ready TO be torn down there is al i'm
mediate rush Of violin makers who eNsn-
Inc the woodwork carefully and. having

Mr.. CARNEGlE'S LATEST.
He Proposes to Write Book on tn.
Prosperity Of the Emitted States

New YORK, Feb 29.-There is a report
in pu blishing circles that Mr.. Andrew Car
negie is at present getting material to-
gether for volume which will be an ex-
position of the great prosperity of the
United States, and its prospects in the fu-
ture for further prosperity. This he pro
poses to write next sumDler.
Mr. Carnegie has lately taken an extensive
trip through the south and southwest. and
wherever he has gone he has been diligent-
ly engaged in the taking of statistics, has
sought information from the great plant
ers, the creators of the large manufactures
in the south. while at New Orleans he has
shown deep interest in the commerce de
veloped by that port. as well as the traffic
diverted 20 il by the new systems of rail
ways which have been developed IN the
southwest since Mr.. Carnegie wrote his
first work.
II is some years since Mr. Carnegie sp-
peared before the American public as an
author He had beer knoqvn for a long
time a. a business man Of extraordinary
energy. foresight and success. The story
of his career had intensified interest in the
man. That wss - tale a. romantic almost
as the fables Of the Arabian Nights "
Mr. Carnegie himself has often heard him
self lkened 10 A veritable Monte Cristo,

all. since he believes tina: whatever Of sue
cess he has had has been due n MS own
energy thrift ann 20 th- magnificent op-
portunitles which the United states offers
TO any young man Of good habits, good
purposes and good health.

THE Red, RsO WEST.

I've Travelled in heaps of countries and studied
all kinds of art,
TIL there isn't a critic or connoisseur who's
properly deemed so smart,
And I'm free to say that the grand results OF
my explorations show
That somehow paint gets redder the farther
out west go!
I've slipped the voluptuous sherbet that the
orientsls serve,
And I've felt the glow of red Bordeaux tingling
each separate nerve;
I've sampled your classic Massic under an
aTbOr green,
And I've reeked with song whole night long
over brown poteen-
The stalwart brew of the land O. cakes, the
schnapps of the frugal Dutch,
The much praised wine Of the distant Rhine,
and the beer praised Overmuch;
The ale Of dear old London and the port Of
southern chimes
All. ad infn.. have taken IN hundred thou-
sand times.
Yet, as aforementioned. these other charms
are naught
Compared with the paramount gorgeousness
with which the west is frsught;
For art and nature are Just the same N the
land where the porker grows,
Anu inc paint Keeps seSb~Aas icAei SHe ASA 'A-eA
out west one goes.
Our ssvsnts have never discovered the reason
why this j. 50.
Aad ninety per cent. o. the laymen care less
than the saysnts know
II answers every purpose that this IS manifest
The paint keeps getting redder the farther yoa
20 out west,
Give me 10 home meath tbs pale pink dome
OF European skies
No cot for ne by the salmon sea that far to tbs
southwark lies;
But away OF, west would build my nest on
TOP 81 3 cArIn5ne hill.
Where can paint without restraint, creation
redder still.

Story of a Youth Who Was Overcome by
Gratitude.

youth who stood before him.

knowledge you have acquired and the men
tai discipline you have passed through

fer supremacy you can now start on an
equal footing with the best of them"
"Yes-that's So" assented the young
man.
Il have not been able to keep track of
your progress as [ should have liked, but
your standing in your class was fully up to
the average, wasn't it,"
"Ya-as."

The young man put his hands in his

on his brow. "a fellows education isn't
finished until he's travelled and seen the
world
How much will it cost to give you the

'H'ml That would make $40, 0O0!''

of gratitude lit mp his somewhat pallid
face. He thrust his hand in breast pock-

it, and extended it to his father.
