Profits of French Novelists,

Although 100000 copies Of George
Ohnet's ''Maitres de FORCES" were sold
in three months, lola has no doubt been
better paid for his work than Ohnet,
who had a fortune before ever commend
ing novel writing. The author of s'L'As-
sommoir" has received SEC, 900 from the
press alone for the privilege of printing
his stories; the publishers have paid him
100000 for 10 separate volumes, while
his theatrical fees for the last mentioned
novel aggregate $4,000. Yet as proof
of the never waning popularity of the
old time tales it may be observed that
Alexandra Dumas fills receives $40, 1000 a
year in the shape Of royalties on his IA
theirs works, while Henri Murger, HUI
go, Eugene Sue and Balzac seem to have
more admirers than ever.

Near, but Never ON the Bridge.

There is a man who has travelled up
and down on the Third avenue elevated
at least six days week for II years, but
has never crossed the Brooklyn bridge.
He is an elevated road brakeman, whose
run ends in Harlem, and who lives up
there. He told the writer few days
ago that he meant to take time some day
to go across the bridge. He has had the
same intention each spring for about 10
years, but has never quite mustered
courage to steal an hour from his sleep
and see the bridge. He said that he
thought there must be a fine view Of the
city from the highest point Of the bridge.

ing the headlight of locomotive was within

horses. The momentum of the train could
not be checked in time to avoid the collision.
