A RARE FIND.
The Story of an Honest Publisher and q
Copy of "Rasselas."

The Story of an Honest Publisher and q
Copy of "Rasselas."
Mrs. Fields tells, in o charming article
In Scribner's, story of literary discovery
which stirs the envy Of the collector. 1t
evidently refers to her husband, the pub
Usher, who found one day In secondhand
shop In London beautiful Ballantyne re-
print Of "Rasselas. "Imagino the 10y of
the enthusiastic buyer" she adds, "hay-
ing left the shop, the book paid for and
tucked under his arm, to find as he turned
into quiet street to take look at his
new purchasc-to find, say, hidden be-
tween the leaves-a letter in the we'll
known handwriting Of DR.. johnson him
self.
ut was almost too much to believe, and
the question Immediately arose in the
young publishers mind, TO whom does
this letter belongr At one moment the
fortunate possessor would shut up the book
and start for home, in the next ho rapidly
retraced his steps and at last did not pause
until he had again reached the door Of the
small shop where his purchase had been
made. By this time he had resolved what
to do He would first discover If the seller
of tho book knew of the existence of this
treasure, and then they could decide to-
gether upon the right step to take. The
bookseller was astonished at the sight Of
the letter and confessed at once that he
could make no claim upon 1t, as he was
Ignorant of its existence until that mo-
ment. However, the matter was soon set
tied to the satisfaction of both parties.
They decided upon the price such letter
should bring, and one-half of the value
was paid to the bookseller who had un.
consciously allowed such prize to slip
through his fingers"

THE OLDEST FICTION.
Neat Little Story That Was Written
Some 5000 Years Ago.

A Neat Little Story That Was Written
Some $500 Years Ago.
Ono Of tho most ancient examples OF
fiction in the world one which has sur
viycd tho rise and fall of many an ancient
and many u modern empire, is an Egyp-
tian romance entitled The Tale of the,
Two Brothers." We have tho original
manuscript in the British museum. 1t
Is written on 10 sheets of papyrus, in a
fine hieratio hand, and it was penned
some 5000 years ago by Theban scribe
named Ennana. This Ennana was libra
rian of the palace to King Merenptah, the
supposed pharaoh of the exodus, and he
appears to have written the tale by order
of the treasurer for the entertainment of
tho crown prince, Seti- -Merenptnh, who
subsequently reigned as Seti III. This
prince has signed his name in two places
on tho back of tho manuscript, these being
probably the only autograph signatures of
any Egyptian king which have como down
to our tilne.
This most venerable and precious docu-
mept was purchased in Italy by Mime.
d'Orbiney, who sold 10 in 1867 to the au-
thorities of tho British museum, and it is
now known us the D'Orbiney papyrus.
The story hcgins exactly like an old fash
ioned fairy talo
There wero two brothers, children of
one mother and one father. Anpu was the
name OF the big brother, and Betau was
tho name of the little brother. Now, Anpu
had u house and wife, and his little
brother lived with him as his serving man.
1t was Betau who drove the cattle to the
fields and titled the ground. 1t was ho
who thrashed the corn and did the field
work. 1t was he who drove the cattle to
the pasture land and titled tho ground, for.
this little brother was good laborer, and
he had not his equal in all the country.
He followed his cattle every day, and he
came back to tho house every evening load,
ed with tho produce of the fields. The

SASH WEIGHTS.

a sfnETe Window May Have Nearly .
Ton and a Big Building Many Tons.
There are few articles Of more common
use than sash weights A few windows
are still made to be held up with catches,
just as there are still key winding watches;
but, like the watches, their number is pro-
portionately so small as to be scarcely up.
preciable Sash weights are made OF iron
and lead. The iron weights are commonly
made OF tin scrap. Lead, being the heavier
metal, Is used In places where the weight
space at command is not sufficient for iron
counterbalances Of the required weight
Sash weights are made in regular sizes,
ranging from pounds to 80 pounds, and
under Q pounds and over 30 they are made
to order Iron sash weights Of the regular
Sizes arc always cast round; In sizes small
or or larger they aro cast square. Lead
weights arc made both round and square
in all sizes.
Sash weights of 150 to 900 pounds arc
not common, but they would not be con.
sidered remarkable Weights are some-
times mado 800 pounds and up to 400
pounds. Thus there might bc on single
sash window nearly half a ton of weights
and on two sash window moro thnn
thrce-quartcrs of ton. So perfectly bal
anced arc weights and windows that they
can be rnised and lowered easily. Heavy
weights arc never put in by guess, nor is
it necessary to adjust them after they are
In place. Tho sash is weighed before the
counterbalances are ordered, and tho
weights are made Of precisely the right
proportion.
The production of sash weights depends
upon the degroe of activity In building.
Tho total annual consumption In this
country is probably about loo, 600 tons.
There are made in New York, Brooklyn
and Jersey City, together, probably from
10, 900 to 10, 900 tons of sash weights an
nually. Not many Now York sush weights
get more than 100 miles away, except
when sold for export. Weights are sent
with all sashes exported to South America,
Africa or wherever they may go.
The aggregate weight OF tho counterbal-
ances used in many of tho larger modern
buildings may be counted in tons. Thus
In such building ms tho Produce Exchange
there are probably from so to so tons of
sash weights; In the Hotel Majestic more
than 40 tons.-New York Sun.
