The White House Mail Box.

IAN amusing thing that we frequent
~ see at the White House." said one
of the attaches there. lis the mailing
of letters in the White House letter
box by visitors to the city. All visitors
to Washington go to: the executive
mansion, and many of them notice the
letter box in the vestibuIe just before
entering the east room. Some of them
decide to mail letters there. believing
that these letters will contain the
stamp of the White House. OF course
it would be great thing for distant
relative to receive a letter pOstmarked
at the White House..
'"The other day an intelligent looking
woman, accompanied by several grown
daughters. asked me to lend her a pen
Gil. l heard her say. Won't it be love
~ to mail them letter from here and
let them see that we've been to the
presidents homer She proceeded to-
write for some time, secured an envel
ope, addressed it and then proudly
dropped the epistle in our letter box.
She went off with radiant face. She
was sure that all her neighbors and
friends for miles around would hear of
that letter mailed from the White
House, and she would be besieged with
inquiries on her return: She'll learn
her mistake: The letter box here does
not differ in any way from those on
the streets. "-Washington Star. ..-

Mn de 1t a Burlesuue.

Franklin Fyles recalls some amusing
first night experiences in his article on
THE Theater and Its People, in The
Ladies Home Journal One he relates
is of Laura Don,' now dead: ''She had
the role Of an Egyptian princess in
Fresh, the American 1t was intend
ed that she should be seriously and
sentimentally impressive. while the
Late John T. Raymond, the star Of the
company, should be contrastingly COM
ical as the lover. But the audience
would not have it so. Nor was it any,
thing in Miss Don's appearance, for
she was beautiful, nor in her acting.
for it was clever. that made the people
laugh. 1t came of miscalculation by
the author. The quick witted woman,
seeing that she could not control the
audience, resolved to humor it. BY an
eXaggeration of speech and manner
she turned the part into burlesque,
and it was always after acted in that
way"
Mr.. Fyles also tells that Gin 'Cleopa-
tra,' as produced by the late Fanny
Davenport, a general should have Civ
en- to his queen an impetuous account
of battle which he had won.- But he
stood wordless, silent, stuck fast. You

When wanted for dinner, the fish is

Severe Punish emf.

Sterling is derived from the name by
which the dwelleis in eastern Germany
We're, known in the twelfth and thir-
teentll centuries. They were called
Easterllngs. The purity not only of
their money was very famous, but that
OF their silver specially so, and coiners
and silversmiths were fetched from
those parts to improve the quality of
our own manufactures.
SO far back as 1897 two counterfeit
ers, who sold spurious silver articles
bearing simulated royal lion and the
goldsmiths' marks. We're sentenced to
stand in pillory at Westminster, with
their ears nailed thereto and with pa
pers above their heads setting forth
the nature of the soffense for which
they We're so disgraced. After this
degradation they were publicly march
ed to Cheapside, put in the pillory
there. and had each one ear cut off
finally being conducted back to the
Fleet prison and having to pay a fine
of 10 marks each.
1t seems that in recent times the rec
ord price for Elizabethan silver was
f7O los. per ounce. For old articles in
this metal the sum usually obtainabl
ranges from Is to Ell per ounce, &C

Cash Comes in Most Cases After Pub

In a brief chat with one of our lead
ing booksellers the other day it was
very curious to hear him speak in "a
purely commercial way Of books which
we have all read and enjoyed, discuss
ing the sales of this or that volume in
, the same way that wholesale grocer
or commission merchant would discuss
barrels of flour or bags Of potatoes.
Every now and then rumor becomes
current that some writer has received
vast sums for his work. AS a matter
Of fact, there is a certain regular per
centage which is all that ever reaches
even the most successful When any
one who is not entirely unknown and
may even, perhaps, already have some
literary reputation. brings his man
uscript to publisher, the writer usual
ly is given an advance ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000, the largest in recent
years having been given to an English
author within the past three months.
When the novel is finally published the
writer will receive IL per cent. of the
actual selling price of each copy. in
Guiding the advance money. which on a
book selling at $3.50 would amount to
2212 cents for each copy sold Let us
suppose thar the author had received
$4,000 it would be necessary for the
publisher to sell about $4,000 copies be
fore he got his money back, because it
costs him about $l.O5 to put the book
on the market Then for the next -. p

cents on each book. until the authors
total royalties had equaled the advance
copyright, at which point the publisher
would again be obliged to pay the
writer the 2212 cents for each of the
books sold.
1t Will be readily seen from the above
figures that even the greatest selling
books do not make their authors and
publishers milliOnalres at one jump. OF
course, only very few and fortunate
or the many writer's ever receive any
advance on their copyrights, as no pub
fishers are going to take the risk Of
paying out money without feeling very
certain that they will eventually get it

WHAT THE CHINESE WORSHIP

Their Religion Is a Mere Fo

The only religious worsbip tba .o.

some cases on the beginning of aaoI,

after time the Offering is removed
and, as in other cases, eaten.
