MONEY.
What the Old Time Publisher r. Paid
From a Sense of Justice.

What the Old Time Publishers P1lA
From a Sense of Justice.
Some interesting details have been
given out lately as to the sums vofun-
tarily paid to British novelists by
American publishers before the days Of
International copyright. Any American
firm could reprint at once whatever is
sued from the English presses, but
some publishers arranged with British
authors for advance sheets Of forth
coming works, thus enabling them to
get the start of 'piratical" firms which
paid the author nothing. 1t is interest
ing to observe the occasional disparity
between the merit of the book and the
price paid. The whole thing was in
the nature of a leap in the dark. Often
the sum given by The American pub
Usher was really more than the Amer
lean rights would probably have been
worth had it been possible to secure
them by copyright. Thus Anthony
Trollope got $500 for "Sir Harry Hot
spur" one of his poorest novels; George
Eliot $500 for Daniel Deronda" and
Charles Reade $1,000 for ga Woman
Halter" No publisher today would
pay any such sums for these books if
he were permitted to read them before
buying.
On the other hand, by way of com
parison, the very best books brought
their authors only trifing returns from
America. Charles Reade received only
$3.50 for "Put Yourself In His Place."
$1,000 for Hard Cash." these being
two of his finest novels, and $1,000 for
Love Me Little, Love Me Long"
Thackeray got only $3.50 for 1.-THE New
comes and $500 for Henry Esmond."
Trollope obtained from the Harpers
$125 for "The Bertrams," $3.50 for
"Castle Richmond" $500 for "Phipeas
Finn" $3.50 for '"The Eustaee Dia-
monds," "Orley Farm Lady Anna"
and Ralph the Heir" The $500 for
his "Cicero' is fully as much as any
American publisher would give today
for the copyright of such a book.
George Eliot received only 500 for
"Adam Bede" and $500 for "Silas Mar
ner." 1.-The Mill on the Floss brought
her $1,000.
Wilkie Collins and Dickens were the
most popular authors of the precopy-
right period, and they Jared best Of all
at the hands of their authorized Amer
lean publishers. The former drew from
this country $500 for 1.-THE Woman In
White" $3.50 each for 1.-THE Moon
stone and "Man and Wife, and $4,000
for "Poor Miss Finch" To Dickens
the Harpers paid $3.50 for Little
Dorrit," $500 for "Bleak House"
$1,000 each for "Our Mutual Friend"
and "a Tale of Two Cities'' and $500
for "Great Expectations" this last rep

never drink to excess again"

Golf Sticks.

It is Of the utmost Importance that
the golfer should be on terms Of the
most complete confidence and intimacy
with all the clubs in his bag, n par
ticularly the wooden clubs, from which
he gets his length. Such confidence
cannot be established during the first
few seasons Of a golfers experience.
1t needs a long time and much thought
to grasp what are the essential fea-
lures Of a wooden club that make 1t ex-
actly suited to the peculiarities Of a
particular player.-Fry's Magazine.

Unique Advertising.

A tale Is told of Robert Bonner and
Of his belief in advertising. One day
he engaged a whole page Of a newspa-
per and repeated a two line advertise
ment upon it over and over again. It
must have been repeated 5000 times
upon the page.in the smallest type.
"Why do you waste your money,
Robert?' asked q friend. II noticed
that same line SO often. Would not
half a page have answered your pur-
poser"
"Half a page would never have
caused you to ask the question:" re-
piled Mr.. Bonner. cat least five peo-
pie will ask that to every line was the
way I figured it."

HAPPINESS.
The Difference Between the Sexso IN
This Important State.

~ NJ 1tt10tCuC0 06SYSSu the S0XOD HI
This Important State.
Cne source of women's happiness Is
to be found, we think, in their love Of
detail. They enjoy every detail Of So
cial life. They love the minutiae Of
their work They do not love 1t as q
man loves his, for the sake Of an end.
They look close at what they are do
ing, and they do not look forward.
They take pleasure in their children
as they are. A defect, even though 1t
be a serious one, destroys their pleas
ure in them far less than it destroys
that Of a man. They are not constant
~ oppressed by the thought of what
that defect will mean in the future.
If a woman is by nature apprehensive
her fears apply for the most part to
little things. If a man is apprehensive
he fears when the fit is upon him the
debacle Of heaven and earth. For wo-
men time goes a little slower. They
take pleasure in ZACH jewel Of that
mosaic which makes up happiness and
are not fretted because the pattern is
not complete. OF this quality they
have, no doubt, the inevitable defects
much brilliance, little grasp and a
tendency to frivolity. They are apt to
fritter away their lives and minds IN
little things. They become engrossed
with the details OF play as well as the
details Of work. Men no doubt have
more opportunities of keen pleasure
than women have, but these opportuni-
ties are short lived. The happiness Of
the moment they are less fitted to take.
The difference between the sexes in
this particular might, we believe, be
thus summed up: A man is happy
whenever be has anything to make him
happy, but a woman is happy when
ever she has nothing to make her un-
happy.-London Spectator.

SHELLS THAT SWIM.
These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-

These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-
fined to Tropical Seas.
The idea of shells being found any
where else except upon the seabeach
or in river beds is a little startling.
Yet the naturalist who pursues his
work from a ship in midocean a and
does collect shells by the thousand at
every dip Of his net OF bucket.
Swimming shellish are mostly con-
fined to tropical seas. The most ia
miliar Is the nautilus, which Is, how
ever, not a shellfsh at all, but a
relation Of the cuttlefsh; also It Is
only seen on the surface at a certain
time Of the year. The real ocean she'll
fish are mostly very small. In the In
dian ocean they may be seen by mil
lions. One which bears the appalling
name of Cavolinia trispinosa has the
odd popularity Of coming to the q =
face at 6 sharp every evening. An
other, the Cleodora trdentata, risen
at Z.
FraiI as these tiny shelif1sh are. no
storm ever Injuries them. They all
possess the peculiar power Of being
able at will to sink a few feet below
the surface of the sea, and there they
remain when gales blow, perfectly
safe. and rise again when the weather
improves.
The largest Of these ocean swim
mers is about three inches In length.
Almost all. are most brilliant in color
and their shells far Trailer and more
glossy than those found upon the sea-

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended Over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee IS made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, fue cured tobaccos.

FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the

baceo is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, himsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than 1.-TWO chews Of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
exPeectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to P1.oo per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly
