HISTORY OF AN ERROR.
6lunder Escaped Notice OF Proof
readers and Editors

A. Il. wrote a certain paper for a
popular journal, says London t-Bits.
This paper went through certain sue
cessive stages during the process OF
production. At each step il received
new reading from beginning TO end,
Thus:
l. Ii was written in manuscript
Then il was read through and in great
part rewritten.
2. 1t was read through again when
completed and sent to be typewriter,

G. The author received a proof.
which he read and corrected, sending
it back for press
Z. The editor or the subeditOr read
It finally and passed it for the maya
zine.
The paper thus had at least seven
readings: Yet blunder was passed.
If the author made tor committed,
if he did not make it-of a most ele-
mentary description; one that leaps 10
the eyes; one that stands out of the
page calling on everybody TO spot it.,

The blunder was simply this: A
certain strike of workingmen was
spoken of as undertaken for lower
wages instead of higher" How the

author wrote 1t in the first instance

Troubles Of an Authoress.

Henry Haynie, author OF THE Cap.
tains and the Kings" writes of George
Eliot: That afternoon George Eliot
declared that each time when it was
known she was about to begin a new
book she was overwhelmed with let
tiers from unknown correspondents
giving her advice as to the best way OF
carrying on the plot or of bringing
her characters out of an embarrassing
situation. Others wrote her when a
book appeared to affirm that they rec
ognized themselves in her personages
OF had found their friends set forth
in her heroes and heroines."

PAUL JONES AND RUSSIA.
Navy Was in Poor Condition in Days
Of Great Admiral.


A letter from st. Petersburg, which
was printed in the Gazateer and New
Daily Advertiser, an English publica-
ton, Of July S, 17SS contains an In
teresting reference to John Paul Jones'
and shows, also, that il was not alone
in its war with Japan that Russia has
found its navy unprepared. Jones at
that time had left the American navy,
had served the French for a time
and then had entered the Russian ser
vice. The letter in question was dated
June 10, 1888. 1t says in part:
Though everything has been hurry
and confusion here for several weeks
past, the feet has not yet sailed, nor
is ii, indeed. as yet ready; some OF
the large ships, from seventy 10 eighty
guns, at Kronstadt, have not 500 men
on board, and of those half at least
are landsmen, wholly unacquainted
with naval affairs.
"The vessels on the gulf at Archan-
gel and other places have been stript
for sailors, who are arrived here; but
even these have by no means equaled
the demand for the men-of-war fitting
out, which amount TO twenty-three
sail, of which seventeen are OF the
line. from sixty-six 10 one hundred
guns, OF which last there are two, on
board one of which, lie Catherine, Ad'
miral (now Comte) Greig has his flag.
Paul Jones, by which name the
American IS known here, has not re
signed his command; the majority OF
the British officers refuse, however, to
serve under him; nor has any step yet
been taken 10 accommodate the differ
ence."

In the Blood.

Love Of discussion is in the blood Of
every Scotsman. To hundreds the
question whether Burns was very
bad man that produced incomparably
good verse, and whether Scott was a
good-natured snob who, 10 pay off
debts that he ought never 10 have in.
CURED, wrote in a scandalous hurry
and in scandalously slovenly English,
novels of almost Shakespearean quail
ity, bring every year supreme delight.

PERRYS MISSION TO JAPAN.
Presidents Letter in 1853 Courtec
Japan's Friendship


Japan's Friendship.
The letter which Commodore Perry
bore from our government to the mi.
kado asked for a mutual treaty The
original instrument was drafted in
May, 1851, by Daniel Webster then
secretary of state, and was signed by
President Fillmore. There it rested.
In November, 1852, Mr.. Webster's sue.
cessor, Edward Everett, fshed 1t out
of the department pigeon holes, took

Century. Three copies were prepared
and were splendidly engrossed in Eng
lish, Dutch and Chinese. These were

case and, 10 make the whole present

anese mind, the gold case was en-
shrined in a Golfer of rosewood.
The document intrusted to Commo-
dore Perry asked of the Japanese
court two things, friendship and trade
first and foremost, friendship, for
the safety Of our seamen. Many
hapless crew had been driven into
their ports by storm or wrecked on
their rocky coast, escaping the peril
Of the deep only TO be welcomed by
those truculent islanders to dungeon

be stopped at all hazards. And If, in
addition, we could persuade Japan TO
enter friendly relations of trade, the
two countries by mutual interchange
of productions, might each promote
its own prosperity and the welfare Of
the other. 1t was thought that orien-
tails might see that as well as Yankees.
In the end they did But 1t cannot be

IL Wasn't CATCHING.

In a village where several cases OF
scarlet fever had occurred and where
an epidemic was feared, little girl
came late to school one morning and
when asked by the teacher the cause
said her mother was sick. The teach
er decided 1t would be safest to send
the child home again until the nature
of the sickness should be ascertained.
Very soon after the little one returned
10 school, and going straight TO the
teacher said
please ma'am, papa says It's not
catching; it's little boy"
