A Novel ENTERPRISE.

Among the latest things devised to
lessen the labor of living and the cares
of housekeeper is New York corpo-
ration known as an Odd-Job and Tink-
ering company, limited. The general
impression seems to be that this Odd
Job company is a charming idea, and
the man who originated the scheme
deserves q vote of thanks for his in
genuity. Though limited in it's iabili-
ties, it's scope of usefulness is not cur
tailed, but is as limitless as human
wants may necessitate. If Mary takes
it into her head to visit her cousin on
wash day and remains absent for a
week, a postal card to the Odd-Jo oh COM
pany at once brings a substitute, who
will perform all the multitudinous du-
ties of the downstairs girl" with ex-
petition and dispatch. And so it goes
on through every department of the
household The company promises to
do almost everything in an emergency
house cleaning, painting, mason and
loclzsmithing work, clerical work, and
miscellaneous work and other things
too numerous to mention, but all of
the greatest Importance in the economy
of living in awell-appointed house.

FOLKS who are ambitious of writing
for the magazines, and are not dis
couraged when a manuscript has been
rejected two or three times, will learn
with pain of confession made by a
young man employed as copy-reader
on popular magazine, as reported in
a New York exchange. He owned that
he and man holding like place on
another magazine had private mark
which was intended to advertise to
each that the other had passed upon
and rejected manuscript. He insist
ed that this mark was placed upon
such manuscripts as were hopelessly
bad, but the possibility of cooperative
copy reading must strike terror to am
bilious young writer's.

CHANGES in handwriting, due to
style, not to individuality, are a curious
study. Up to and through the middle
of the century women's script was
what Holmes describes as delicate,
thready characters, which slant across
the page like an April shower with a
south wind chasing it." In the last
quarter, during the 7O's, appeared the
immensely large and strikingly angu-
lar hand. The angular part died out,
but the size remained until the last dec
ade, which has introduced another
mode. This is the small and queer;
odd and distinctive as possible. Not
women alone, but men-some men
adopt this change.

impression that young Jackson was in
some way implicated in Redwine's
