MOST PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPT.
The Handwriting Of Milton Treas
ured as the Genl Of All
English Poets.

We have spoken of the Milton book
at Trinity as being the most precious
manuscript of English literature in
the world, says Edmund Gosse, in At
lantic, and the longer we consider its
constitution the less likely we are to
dispute this claim. Nothing of Shakes
peare's works remains in his own hand
writing; nothing important, so far as
we know Of Chaucer's, or OF Sponsors.
Of later poets indeed, we possess man
uscripts Of more or less value and in
terest. But in no other case that [ can
recall, ancient or modern, has it been
our privilege to examine the sheets in
which, through several years of the
highest creative intensity, a great poet
has left on record the very movement
of his mind and the hesitatiOns and Sc
lectiOns Of his art in the act of produce
ton. When that poet is Milton, the
most splendid artist in verse whom the.
English race has produced, the impor-
lance of the document stands revealed
beyond any need of emphasis or in
sistence. Now, in the Trinity manu-
script, everything is. the unQuestioned
handwriting Of Milton, except some Of
the sonnets, which have evidently been
copied by successive. amanuenses.

SHOES POLISHED IN RAG TIME.
Experience ON the BoOtbIacl's stand
When Hand Organ Came
Along the Stree%.

"Just after [ had got comfortably
settled in one OF the leather-cushioned
chairs" said Mr.. Ellington, relates the
New York Sun, there came along the
street one of those big piano organs
with voice like calliope's, and halted
right in front. 1t was a tWO-chair
stand, and there were two men on it.
| was the only customer up at the mo-
ment, and the two each took a foot
They had just begun polishing when
the hand organ began to boot 'Loozy-
ana Lou Instantly the two backing
artists swung in with the music and
from that on, with many original rag
time variations of their own, they
piled their brushes and polishing
cloths in time with it. When | stepped
down to the sidewalk to be brushed off
both men took up that work, the hand
organ playing now The Georgia Camp
Meeting and the two men coming in
with their whisk brooms with an in
terloclIing fip-fap movement that was
nothing short of marvellous. ] would
not have been surprised any minute to
see them each turn q cartwheel hand
spring changing places in the turning
but keeping up the brushing and never
for a minute losing time. They kept
right on down to my feet, and putting
in there a singularly abe combination
effect in that last final touch around
my hoppers they turned me loose.
Il paid for the polish and put a nickel
in the organ collectors box, for the
backing artists and myself. and then
I walked away, keeping step with the
music, on the sidewalk, on one side Of
the hand organ, while horse pulling
grocery wagon, and going the same
way, kept step along on the other in
the street. The whole earth seemed to
move, in fact, to the stirring strains of
rag time

DIAMONDS IN STEEL.
Minute Crystals Seen Under the Mi
crOsccpe in the Molten
MefHl.

In the manufacture of carbon steel
microscopic diamonds are formed. A
number of steels from a variety of
processes have been examined and
gave Identical results, says the Mining
and Scientific Press. A piece weigh
ing 800 grammes, was cut from a
lump of steel and treated with nitric
acid; the insoluble residue collected
was mainly graphite carbon. After
being washed with water it was
boiled three times with tuning nitric
acid, which partially dissolved the res
idue; l.ydrofuoric acid ana then fun
ing suphuric acid were used. There
then remained nothing but graphite,
which, after being washed, was melt
ed with chlorate of potash. This long
series of operations was recommended,
because it was necessary to subject
the residue to all the treatments men
toned. The insoluble residue obtained
fell to the bottom of a vessel filed
with iodide of methylene and the lit
tie. transparent octahedrons visible
through microscope burned on
sheet Of platinlm without leaving any
ash. These were the diamonds.

NEGROES MAKING PROGRESS.
New YorLz's COIored Population Is
Improving Its Condition
Rapidly.

Though "a large proportion of the
negro population of this city still re-
main in the degraded condition which
was the natural result of the races
servitude, there are many-both men
and wOmen-who have broken through
the barriers surrounding them, and
have won for themselves respectable
positions in various walks of life saws
the Scottish American. No longer are
they crowded together to the same ex-
tent as formerly. They are to be found
above the Harlem as Wei as below it,
and in the suburbs of Brooklyn as well
as in the quarters which in time past
were considered peculiarly their own.
In the latter borough there is Society
Of Sons of Virginia, and in Manhattan
the colored people from North Carolina
have banded themselves under the
name of Sons Of the Old North State.
They have several churches of their
own, and also places of instruction in
which pupils are prepared for special
callings.
The negro medical fraternity num-
bers about Is, all with diplomas from
well-known institutions. Five are
graduates OF Long Island college. and
Harvard, Dartmouth, the University of
Pennsylvania and Howard university
are all represented.

STOCK GAMBLING.
Evils Arising from the Universal
YearninG to Get Sonnet thing
for Nothing.

Secrecy made it possible to organize
both the opportunity and the tempta-
ton to play the industrial game with
loaded dice, says the Engineering Mag
azine. The itching to get something
for nothing upon the market is at any
time the master vice in trade. One
risk of the business boom is always
that it lets loose those reckless forces
that hasten every disaster of the next
business collapse. The new ''com-
bines," if they manipulate clandes-
timely, easily fire every passion to
play with stock variations - to lay
traps for the unwary, to declare divI-
dends that never have been earned
and to unload lying values upon the
public. 1t is evident that every form
of secret confectionery hidden device
as to methods of management-im-
mensely overstimulates this dicer's
spirit, and, therefore, adds to the
most dangerous uncertainties of bust
ness. That this evil can be greatly
lessened has been proved not only by
English experience--it has been clear
ly proved by Massachusetts expert
ence. The degree Of publicity 10
which these corporations must now
submit in Massachusetts is far great
er than is commonly supposed, and
has been attended by results SO hope
full as TO mark a sure way for further
legislation. This experience, together
with the experience of the interstate
commissioner spite of all its failures
may well furnish q safe basis for
such federal action as shall give unity
of procedure in different states.
