AUTHORS HANDWRITING.
Jules Janin Would Rather Rewrits
Than Read His Manuscript.

Charlotte Bronte's handwriting
seemed to have been traced with a
needle, and the penmanship of Bry-
ant was aggressive. well formed and
decidedly pleasing to the eye.
Thackeray'S writing was marvellous
ly neat and precise, but it was so
small that microscopic eyes were
needed to read it. Longfellow
wrote Il bold, open backhand which
was the delight of printers.
The handwriting of Captain Mar
ryat was so microscopic that when
he rested from his labors he was
obliged to mark the place where he
left off by sticking a pin in the pa
per. NapoIeon's handwriting was
worse than illegiblc. 1t is said that
his letters from Germany to the
Empress Josephine were at first tax
en- for rough maps of the seat of
war.
Much of Carlyle's temperament
may be read in his handwriting. He
wrote a patient, grabbed, oddly en-
| phasized hand. The chirography Of
Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore
and Gray was easy to read and ran
smoothly. 1t was not expressive of
any especial individuality, however.
1
The writing of Dickens was minute,
and the authors habit of writing
with blue ink upon blue paper, with
frequent erasures and interlinea-
tions, made his copy burden to
his publishers. Byron's handwrit-
ing was a mere scrawl. His addi-
tions in his proofs often exceeded
in volume the original copy. To
one of his poems which contained
only 400 lines in the original 1000
lines were added in the proofs.
One day distressed compositor
appeared at the house Of Jules ia
min 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.
| Few printers could read the copy
of Balzac, and those who could in
variably made 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 orig
inal copy.
| While having his house repaired
Rufus Choate had promised to send
to the builder the model for a
carved mantelpiece. Failing to OBJ
tain exactly the kind Of mantelpiece
that he wanted, Choate wrote to his
workman to that effect. The car
penter eyed the missive from all
sides and finally decided that it
must be the promised plan. Forth
with he set to work to fashion what
would have been the most original
mantelpiece ever made.-New York

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How a Grateful Cat Repaid Its Mis-
tress Kindness.

Nearly every child is fond of cats,
and many of you own these house
hold pets. A pretty story is told of
the gratitude Of a cat to a kind
friend who helped it in distress.
One day the cat ate, some rat
poison, and its sufferings were 50
great that it would dip its paws in
water to cool them, though cats are
not very fond of water.
At last she went to the lady and.
looking up in pitifpl way, seemed
to ask for help. The lady bound
it up in wet cloths and gave it medi-
cine and Cruel and took the best
care OF it until it was well again.
One night after the lady had gone
upstairs she heard a NEW at the
window, and as she opened it the
cat jumped in with a mouse in her
mouth and laid it at the lady's feet,
She did this every day for long
time, and when she afterward
caught mice for her kittens one was
always laid aside for the lady.
If the kittens tried to eat this
she gave them little pat. After
awhile the lady would take the
mouse and then give it to the kit
tens, the cat seemingly much pleas
ed to see them eat It.

Railroad Time Tables.

Some of the Recorders patrons
seem to be of the opinion that
the publication of the railroad
time tables should be continued
in the paper whether the COM
panies see fit to pay for them or
not. Of two merchants who hap
pened to meet in this Office the
other day one expressed himself
decidedly in favor of the propo-
sition, while the other spoke just
as decidedly against it. My own
views were expressed editorially
a few days ago. They were to
the effect that. while time tables
contain news to which many read
ers of newspapers think they are
entitled and while some may oc-
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1907-01-31

casionally be inconvenienced by
the nonpublication, these time
tables certainly are first class ad-
vertisements for which the COM
panies heretofore have paid in
transportation or cash and for
which it would seem they ought
still to be able to give an equiva-
lent.
The people who claim that
newspapers should print time
tables without compensation
might as we'll argue that advance
notices of theatrical entertain
ments should be published in the
same way. The Recorder has
frequently been requested by
Amsterdamians to announce CON-
ing attractions at the Van Curler
Opera House in Schenectady, but
has declined to do so unless the
announcements were ordered in
and paid for by the opera house
management. - Amsterdam IN.

Newspapers are dropping out
the railroad time table which
will soon be a thing of the past
as far as the country newspaper
is concerned. The city papers
will continue to run the time ia
bles, which are placed as regular
advertising matter but the rail-
roads treat the country newspa-
pers differently, giving them
permission to run the time tables
as news matter only. The news
pap ers will of course refuse the
tables unless paid for at space
rates since they are the cleverest
kind of advertising. The action
is the result of the railroads not
issuing mileage in return for ad-
vertising. Norfolk (Neb. Press
