Here is the amusing experience of
an amateur literary aspirant which was

in the New York Commercial Adyer-
.tiser.
A young woman in New York wrote
one day a short skit intended to be
humorous. 1t aroused favorable COM
ment from her circle of friends and
she made up her mind that it was good
enough to be published in one of the
humorous periodicals. Accordingly she
submitted it to first one periodical.
then another 1t was brief skit only
about fifty lines in all, and, as her
brother indulgently said, couldn't pos
sibly have done any harm" But still
the hard-hearted editors failed to see
the humor of it and kept sending it
back to her. Finally the young author
lost heart completely and was about
to bury her poor little skit in the
depths of her portfolio. Then her
brother took pity on her and said:
. Here, give me your skit. III get
it published or know the reason why"
A week or two later her skit an
peared in one of the humorous papers.
and the young contributor enjoyed all
the delights of first authorship, sending
marked copies of the paper to friends.

Culture of Basket willows.

=. The long thin stems Of the basket
willow are called osiers, and the osier
willow is the same as the basket will
low. Really there are two kinds Of
osier willows, but there is so little
difference between them that only a
.botanist could discover it. Generally
these willows are grown on damp
ground on the banks of streams or
ponds, but they will grow as easily on
quicker growth and stronger twigs.
The best locality for growing them as
farm crop is near a large town or
city where many baskets or other will
low goods are made. Large quantities
of osiers are used for making chairs,
children's carriages and other work
besides baskets. There is constantly
increasing demand for them.
