IN THE WORLD OF LETTERS,

A writer in the Boston Transcript
Expresses the opinion that the use
~ the typewriter produces a discon-

The University of Edinburgh is TO

An important work on Balzac is
scon to be issued in France. 1t will
give the history of Balzac's youth,
from 1925 to 1928, when the great
author carried on business as a print
~ and type-founder.
1t is interesting to compare the
american with the English sales of
Mr. KiPling's books. Up to the close of
1900 $4,000 copies of 1.-THE Jungle
Book" had been disposed of in the
authors native country and 50, 900 in
the United States. Of 1.-THE Second
Jungle Book" the sale there had been
$4,000 and here $4,000. A still greater
discrepancy is to be noted in the
sase of Captains Courageous" of
which the English market absorbed
nnIy $1,000 copies and the American
$1,000. But then this is an American
Story. 1t is estimated that the Eng
hsh sale of Kipling's works has ag-
gregated 100000. In this country the
Ggures would doubtless be several
times as large.

Tho AunrrrI

On either side of the log they sit,
Where the flames on the hearthstone flare
and fit
Nook and corner are growing dark.
For the candle has burned to its final spark
And the fire is almost ashes.
Straight and stin in each high-backed
chair,
Just as the quarrel LEFT them there;
While their separate shadows rise and fall
Each by Itself on the wainscot wall.
And the fire burns down to ashes
Up and down with the pickering flame.
Ever tho same-yet not the same!
Nearer and nearer the shadows SWAY
AS the dying pine-knot drops away
And the fire goes out in ashes.
Fttfully down from the wainscot wall
The last faint flashes glimmer and fall
I've wavering shadows blend in one,
And the foolish quarrel Is o"er and done
As the IRE dies out IN ashes!

NOTES FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

At the house-furnishing counters
are found small utensils to take out
the eyes of pineapples-a useful ad-
dition to the list of kitchen tools.
Carafes and water bottles may be
kept bright by the use of a handful
of fine ashes mixed with the soapy
water in which they are washed.
The newest method of finishing the
corners of sofa pillows is with n
large oval button. The button is
made of wood covered with the same
material as the pillow and the edges
of the pillow are finished without
rutfle or cord.
To clean benares work or any
chased brass goods, the following
formula is recommended: Wash in
hot soap and water and dry thor
oughiy. Cut lemon in half and with
it rub the brass. When it looks clean.
rinse in warm water, dry and then
polish well with chamois. Chased
work should never be cleaned with
any kind of powder.
''Nepeering sawdust," which can be
obtained of any furrier, wet in gaso-
line or benzine and rubbed thorough
ly into the furs will clean them per-
fectly. Clean sand just hot enough
to be borne in the hand is also en-
ployed in the same way. The furs
should be beaten well after cleaning.
and should receive a thorough airing.
They should not, however, be kept in
the sun for any length of time, lest
they fade.

VERSES GRAVE AND GAY.
His Dnddx,s Eyes.

His Daddy's Eyes.
He Is little, my lad, scarce four years old
A mischievous imp when all is told,
For he plays all day at Buffalo Bill
And brags of the reds he means to kill
While growing up in The Joyous belief
or some day meeting an Indian chief,
he starties the house with his Wild West
cries.
Then he looks at me with his daddy's eyes
He is not what you'd call handsome lad.
For his nose is snub and his teeth are bad,
While his hair Is stubby and worse, Its red,
And freckles all over his face are spread |;
But his mouth is firm and his heart is true
he Is my little man and he knows Il, too,
For he's strangely clever and more than
wise,
Anc he looks at me with his daddy's eyes
SO worship him for the heart he wears
Beneath his jacket of dirt and tears,
AND 1 only see brow that IS fair
With a world of truth meath the tawny

While I reverence him for the soul that is

Yet stronger than all my love doth rise

From violets sweet through dim, blue,

That turns a pleading face to look about
And watch the suns course through the

That, winning faith with no device OF art,
Declares passion far outlasting death.

WINDOWS CLEANED AT NIGHT.
Expedient Adopted in Building So Tall That workmen Be-
 come Dizzy.

tsWe have introduced an innovation in our building, that is practiced no- where else in town,'' said the agent ot a New York skyscraper, reports the Sun We clean our windows at night.
 Our chief reason for the change was that from the very beginning our building has seemed to be q regular hoodoo for window cleaners. Although no higher than good many other buildings in town, the situation has the effect of making the cleaners lose their heads and no matter what pre- cautions were adopted hardly week passed that somebody did not fall and break his neck or his shoulder blade, or, at the very least, skin his crazy bone.
 s'After two or three score cleaners had been ncapacitated for duty by tumbling out of our windows the whole fraternity began to fight shy of us. They all said that to look down at that particular section of the street made them so dizzy that they couldn't keep right side up even though tied to the sill, and at last, as a remedy, we sug- gested that the windows be washed at night when the distance to the side- walk would be eliminated by the dark ness.
 ssWe found man who seemed willing to risk his neck, and she scrubbed all one night without suffering bodily in jury, he agreed to serve us regularly thenceforward So we have all the work done at night now"

DR. HARpER,s SECRETARY.
Chicago University Man to Become Identified with New Bureau of
 Standards at Wash1ngtons.

Harry D. Hubbard, private secretary to President Harper, of the University of Chicago, has received notice of his appointment as secretary of the na- tional bureau of standards at Wash ington, at a salary of S2, ,000 year. The appointment was the result of civil service examination in which 200 com petitors were entered. His work will begin October 1.
 The bureau of standards was ere ated last spring by act of congress, and Prof. Samuel ". Stratton, of the uni versity, was made director. As nothing of tie kind has previously existed in America, the work of the organiza tion must be done from the beginning. Mir Hubbard is peculiarly fitted for this task, as he has had charge for several years of the statistical reports of the university.
 Mr. Hubbard, who is 30 years old, went to Chicago in 1892 from Phila- -1lphia.

WOn' A;-S. LOOT.
Metropolitan Museum of New York Tco seIf-Respectin to Receive
 Stolen Chinese CuriOs.

It was declared the other day to be decidedly doubtful whether the off cers of the Metropolitan museum of New York would accept the collection of Chinese loot which it is reported that H. c. Squier, the secretary of the legation of Peking, the purchaser, is about to present to it.
 1.-Two or three offers have already been made to us,'' said General Di- rector Cesnola recently, 'sby individ- uals who wished to sell us collections of articles gathered recently in China and which they frankly stated were loot. I replied to those offers by the formula that we had no funds available at present for such pur- chases. If these individuals had come to me personally should hare said to them that the museum has too much self-respect and that the trus- tees are not the kind of men to fill this building with loot.
 No communication of any kind has been received from MT. Squier, and we have no reason in the world for think ing he intends to present his collec- ton to f'en
