has published three books, which to-
gether must have sold their half-mil-
lion copies The authors profits should
come to some $150,000, to say nothing
of the stage rights to Richard Car

thousands more. Altogether this young
writer must be making we'll over $780,
900 year at the very outset of his
profession, sum which would not
seem small to men who by a life time
of work have gained eminence at the
bar, in the church, or in medicine. But
ambitious young writer's who gloat on
these figures must bear in mind that
they are as misleading as the reports
of fortunes made in stocks. Such prizes
are the very rare exception and luck
counts for quite as much as merit.

Last month in Oakland, Cal, the
street cars began to be operated with
electricity from the Yuba river, lao
miles distant The water power, hav-
ing been converted into electricity, is
carried on wires six-tenths Of an inch
in diameter, made of an alloy Of cop
per and aluminium. The electrical
pressure is 10000 volts, and the loss
in transmission is said to be 3 per cent.
This is by far the longest electrical
transmission system for power pur-
poses in existence, and if the loss is an
small as it is stated to belt is the most
promising indication of the posslbll-

Paving the Way,

Members of the ministerial profess
ion do not lack for amusing expert
epcces. One such is related by The
Youths Companion:
A city minister had arranged early
in tn. day, to Ofioiate at very quls'
home wedding that same evening
AT the hour agreed upon he went e.
TO the house, which was quite DIS
lance from his own, and rang the bell
A maid opened the door, and he
walked in, saying: a believe l. am
expected here this evening. Will you
kindly say to the family that l am
here ?"
He then pushed aside portlere
hanging between the hall and thepaF-
lor. and found himself in the presence
Of a somewhat embarrassed young
couple sitting on sofa in half-lght-
ed room.
Good evening" said the minister
blandly. a am on time, believe
Eight o'clock, I think was the hour
for the ceremony"
Ceremony said the young man.
what ceremony
"Why the marriage ceremony to be
sure. Are you not the young couple
who are to be united in the bonds OF
matrimony this evening"
To the amazement of the minister
the young lady uttered a shrek
and fed from the room, while the
young man turned scarlet.
"Have I made a mistaken asked
the embarrassed parson, as he hastily
drew forth his note book. "No,
he added, 81 was to come to Number
236 this street, and
But this is Number 237, inter
rupted the young man. Number
236 is across the street.
"Oh, I beg your pardon! I begyour
pardon a thousand times, exclaimed
the minister, as he retreated hastily
He fingered on the doorstep to add
to the profuse apologies he had already
made to the young man, who had fol-
lowed him to the door, and it was
something of relieft to have the young
man say, frankly and half-oonhden-
TALLY:
at is all right, parson. was just
rackiug my brain to think Of some
thing to kind of open up the way for
me to ask that young lady a question
that will lead up to wedding in this
house soon, fit is answered the way |
hope it will be; and you have helped
me out wonderfully. 1t will be easy as
rolling off log to say what l want to
say now. I'm much obliged to you.
