had never shown the least interest in science,

In several letters Hoffman, gives an amusing
account of the difficulties experienced in trans
porting his apparatus and finding a room in the
palace of the proper size and supplied with
water and gas pipes As the only such room
was found in the servants dining hall, in the
basement, there was a great commotlon below
stairs. An elderly upper servant protested to
the Master of the Household as he invaded the
place:

lecture at Windsor gives an amusing little

the apparatus; and as the Queen was conversing

advised long daily walks. Dumas thought this
an excellent idea and proposed to Kill two 0lr05

The death of George Douglas Brown, the
young author of "The House with the Green
Shutters" has provoked sad reflections on what
he might have done if he had lived. 1t is I'M
possible not to sympathize with these rehec-
TONS to a certain extent, at least After read
ing 1.-The House with the Green Shutters" one
could not help hoping for more work from the
same hand. But the assumption of some COM
mentators that Mr.. Brown would lave sur
PASSED himself in other b0OkS-When he might
very easily have failed even to equal himself
reminds US of the curious unwillingness of some
readers to believe that an author can exhaust
himself in one effort. They accept without any
questioning of his genius the author of single
imperishabe poem like Waller or the Marquis
of Montrose they are quite willing to remem-
Der Beckford as the author of "Vathek," and of
nothing else of quite the same value, and in
fact a considerable list might be made of writ
ers cherished for one masterpiece. But in
our own time the man who does one piece of
work we'll is expected, as a matter Of course,
to proceed from that triumph to another. If
he fails to make his second book, or his third
as good as his first, he is blamed. He ought

CIGAR MAKERS WILL WAIT
willing to Help Employers Who Are
Fighting the Tobacco Trust.

Chicago, December 13.-Three thou
sand members of the Cigar Makers
Union will wait for another year before
demanding a wage increase, because
they do not wish to increase the ex-
penses of their employers, who are
fighting the so-called tobacco trust. For
several months. a large proportion Of
the membership of the union has been
agitating the introduction of the Span
ish bill system of making cigars. This
would increase the wage of the work
men from four to six a thousand. So
eager were the agitators to have the
system introduced, that they were will
ling to strike to gain it.
George ]. Thompson, then told Of the
struggle of the independent and union
manufacturers to resist the inroads Of
the so-called trust. The trust factories,
he asserted are run by non-union and
under paid women and children so that
the combination can sell cigars from s2
to s6 q thousand less than the inde-
pendents.
Strike talk was dropped first, and
when the vote was put the proposition
was defeated 20 to l.
