There sometimes seems reason for a
complaint common among authors that
artists do not read the text they are to
illustrate. In one Of the leading maya
zines recently the writer mentioned the
fact that her heroine was entirely bald
Ia circumstance, indeed, that might
have been dedused from the fact that
she was nearly 100 years old.
Picture the authors disgust when the
old woman was represented with a head
Of hair that might have served for the
advertisement Of some wonderful ire
storatiye.
Even worse seems the fate Of an I'M
happy writer who wrote a story about
boy named Patsy. The artist meta
morphosed him into girl.
The readers Of recent novel were
puzzled BY a statement which it seemed
impossible to reconcile with facts. The
text represented devoted band Of sol
dierg scaling well nigh perpendicular
cliffs, urging their Jaded horses for
ward The explanation was that the
artist had represented the gallant band
as mounted The author had depicted
them on foot When attention was
called to this discrepancy, the easiest
way out Of the difficulty appeared to be
to insert the few words as above, which
was accordingly done without heed to
the context.
Mr. James Payn relates q similar
story Of his tale, "a Perfect Treasure :"

Our LenEtheninK Dayu.

A day is the name for the time IN
which the earth rotates once and q
month for the time in which the
moon revolves once, says ProfessG
GeOrge ii. Darwin in The Atlantic
Then, since tidal friction retards the
earth s rotation and the moons rev.
olutiOn, we may state that the day
and the month are now lengthenlng
at different rates which are calcula-
BILE, although the absolute rates IN
time are unknown. 1t will suffice
for a general comprehension Of the
problem to know that the present
rate of increase of the day is much
more rapid than that of the month,
and that this will hold good in the
future. Thus the number of rots-
tions of the earth in the interval
comprised in one revolution Of the
moon diminishes, or. in other words
the number of days in the month dl
minshes, although the length of each
day increases SO rapidly that the
month itself is longer than at pres
ent. For example, when the day shan
be equal in length to two of our acFu-
al days the month may be as long a.
81 of our days and the earth WIZ
spin round only about Is times II

Nuts For Eating.

Nuts are much employed in high
class cookery, but their value seems
not to be recognized by the majority
of country housewives, too many of
whom let the squirrels get them all.
Very delicious dishes are made of
chestnuts. Any nut makes a cake
more delicious. Nuts chopped and
sprinkled over puddings, hot or cold,
give a new flavor and greatly i'm
prove them, while mixed through
custard they make a surprising
change in this simple dish. Stewed
apples sprinkled with chopped nuts
and the core space filled with jam
make good dessert, which need be
of no cost except for the labor used,
and this is of only nominal Value
