When Sir Walter Scott was left pow
erty stricken. with debt amounting to
100000, he said to his creditors, "Give
me time, and shall be able to pay you
every farthing." Having relinquished
his property to his creditors, he said to
friend in a deep, thoughtful tone: ct
must be very hard thus to lose all the
labors Of lifetime and be poor man
at last. But if God grants me strength
and life few years longer 1 have no
doubt shall be able to pay it all''
He then set to work in earnest, and
during the three years that followed
performed literary feat unparalleled
and reaped immense profits. In these
three years, from 1927 to 1880, he wrote
and published about thirty different
volumes, making more than ten q year.
Besides this he was editing an edition
Of his novels, to which he added copi-
GUS notes, and such was the demand
for these works that over 1000 persons
were occupied In their mere manufac-
ture. 1t seems hardly credible, but
nineteen Of these volumes We're edited
and published in year. The profits
resulting from these three years Of la.
Dor amounted to something like $780,.

Bought Her own Gown.

They tell story of an unfortunate
Partisan society woman who, being ter
ribly pushed for gown to wear at
great occasion, sold seven gowns for
the price of one to Nine. x. Among
these gowns was one hardly rumpled
and which, though very magnificent
had evidently been worn at most only
once This dress Nine. X. sold as q
model to Nine. Y, who was the society
woman's dressmaker and who had
been obdurate about making another
thing for the poor little woman with
out cash down. When this 'moder
came in she saw chance for big re-
turn of money, SO she compromised
with her customer and agreed to let
her have new dress, just imported,
for very low figure. Whereat the
poor little woman paid all the money
she had received for all her dresses and
out Nine. Y. brought the model. The
poor woman talked herself blue in the
face, but she could not say anything
to protect herself without betraying
her dealing with Nine. x, so, poor
thing, she danced in her old frock
after all, having snapped all her other
gowns for the privilege.

A Transformation scene.

A fashionable audience in Paris lis
tened to lecture on chemistry by a
celebrated chemist. At the conclusion
Of the lecture a lady and gentleman
who were among the first to leave the
hall had reached the open air when the
lady caught her escort staring at her.
What is the matterY asked the ma
dame in surprise. pardon me, but you
are quite blue" The lady returned to
the hall and approached mirror. She
started back in horror. The rouge upon
her cheeks had been converted into q
beautiful blue by the chemical decom-
position which had taken place under
the influence Of the gases which had
been generated during the lecture. The
majority Of the women in the audience
bad suffered in a similar manner.
There were all sorts Of colors-blue,
yellow, violet and black. Some whose
vanity had induced them to put ivory
on the skin, coral on the lips, rouge on
the cheeks and black on the eyebrows
had undergone ludicrous transforma-

might be expected under such circum

that the day and all, even honor. would
be lost in complete defeat and ignominious
rout. Just at this critical moment who
should go to the relief of our sorely tried
men but that gallant brigade commanded
