The be&t paid literary worker in America to-day is Mrs. Frances Ilodg- son liurnott , says the Chicago Times. The Bale of "LUtlo Lord Fountloroy" has already brought her $20,000 and for months the dramatic right to the pluv increased her bunk account from $1,000 to 82,000 a week. The profits of "Sara Crowe' ' to date are something over 811- 000. She has a $15,000 contract with some Now York publibhers to wrlto u story for their weekly paper , and also has at her disposal an offer of $10,000 , for a grown-up "Lord Fountloroy. " So it will ho soon that this remarkable woman has little cause to complain of the appreciation in which she is hold by the public. After Mrs. Burnett , A. C.

Tlio waste in feuding hogs on seine { arms is utterly inexcus able. Knough in wasted in a few weeks by throwing it in the mud to buy boards for n lloor that will last for years , says the Nebraska Farmer. Seine farmers have the idea that all that ib needed to feed hogs is In shovel out onoui'h corn to Inst two or three days. It is quite true Hint corn is likely to bo low.
