Handwriting of Authors

CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S handwriting
~ seemed to have been traced with needle,
and the penmanship of Bryant was aggressive,
well formed, and decidedly pleasing to the eye.
Thackeray's writing marvelously neat and
precise but it was SO small that microscopic
eyes were needed to read it. Longfellow
wrote bold, open back hand, which was the
delight of printers. Joaquin Miller writes such
a bad hand that he often becomes puzzled
over his own work.
The handwriting of Captain Marryat was so
microscopic that when he rested from his la
bors he was obliged to mark the place where
he left off, by sticking pin in the paper.
Napoleon's handwriting worse than illeg-
ible. 1t is said that his letters from Germany
to the Empress Josephine were at first taken
for rough maps of the seat of war.
Much of Carlyles temperament may be read
in his handwriting. He wrote a patient
Grabbed, oddly emphasized hand. The chirog
raphy of Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore,
and Gray was easy to read, and ran smoothly.
1t was not expressive of any especial individ
uality, however. The writing of Dickens was
minute and the authors habit of writing with
blue ink upon blue paper, with frequent
erasures and interlineations, made his copy a
burden to his publishers. Byrons handwrt-
ing was mere scrawl. His additions in his
proofs often exceeded in volume the original
copy To one of his poems which contained
only four hundred lines in the original, one
thousand lines were added in the proofs.

Couldn't Read His Own Writing

ONE day distressed compositor appeared at
~ the house of Jules Janin, and besought him
to decipher some pages of his own manuscript.
Janin replied that he would rather rewrite
than attempt to read over what he had once
written. w. D. Howells, Bret harte, Holmes,
Andrew Lang, William Norris, and George
Macdonald all wrote plain legible hands.
Few printers could read the copy of Balzac,
and those who could invariably made a strict
agreement with their employer that they
would be required to work at it only one hour
at time Even after the hieroglyphics had
been translated into print the proof sheets came
back more illegible than the original copy.
While having his house repaired, Rufus
Choate had promised to send to the builder
the model for carved mantelpiece. Failing
to obtain exactly the kind of mantelpiece that
he wanted, Choate wrote to his workman to
that effect. The carpenter eyed the missive
from all sides, and finally decided that it must
be the promised plan. Forthwith he set to
work to fashion what would have been the
most original mantelpiece ever made.

Some Amusing Errors

A LAUGHABLE error occurred in one of
"A the large publishing houses number of
years ago. A poet had sent in a manuscript
in which the line. "See the pale martyr
in a sheet of fire." The reputation of the
writer was nearly ruined when the work came
out with the line, See the pale martyr with
his shirt on fire"
When a favorite speaker rose and was
greeted with thunderous applause, his party
paper came out and said, The vast con-
course rent the air with their snouts.''

FOIBLES OF THE
TYPE AND PEN
Had the Rector Running Mad


A GOOD many years ago when metropol-
n itan dailies were not run so well as
they now, ridiculous typographical mis-
takes happened frequently.
One of the papers had two separate articles,
one on a sermon and the other a mad dog
which were of course to go under different
headings. In some way both were set up to-
gether. In the morning the editor was horri-
fed to see the following article:
1.-The Rev. James Thompson, rector of St.
Andrews church. preached to a large con-
course of people Sunday. This was his last
sermon. In few weeks he will bid farewell
to his congregation, his physician has adj
vised him to cross the Atlantic. He exhorted
his brethren and sisters, and after offering
devout prayer there is where the articles ran
together] took whim to cut up some frantic
freaks. He ran up Timothy-st. to Johnson,
and down Beneft-st to College. At this stage
of the proceedings couple of boys seized
him, tied a tin kettle to his tail, and he again
started. A great crowd collected, and after
some trouble he was shot by policeman.

A New Classification

A SOMEWHAT similar mixing of articles
n happened on a Western paper, where the
editor had two articles, one political sub
ject and another the fattening of swine,
One Of the headings appeared as follows:
