"The red ciKita are coming ! I can hear
their bugles down the rond. "
Young John Clarke ran toward his homo
shouting these word * one morning In Au
gust , 1TSO. Although he WM but 1C > yonrs
of age , ho had been for aaveral weeks the
sole protector of his nnthcr and sisters ,
for his father and brothers were In the
continental army with Slimier , nnd had had
a share In the capture of the redoubt nt
AVaterco Ford nnd the forty-four supply
wagons which had been sent from NJnoty-
lx. Hut Cornwnllls and Tnrlcton wore sharp
In their pursuit , and nil the frlonda of the
colonies were nlnrmcd , ns well they might
be.
John Clarke was returning from the
\\-eods , where ho had led the one lean cow-
that remained of all the stork on the farm ,
for Tnrli ton's men had raided It of all else.
Hut difficult ns It was to provide s.methlng
to eat , the constant fear of nsanult.t by thu
Ilrltlsh .was even worno. and this morning
all his fears seemed to be realized when
ho heard the bugles In the road.
"Perhaps they won't come here , " said his
mother. "It's fortunate our house U so
far fram the road. "
John shook his head. He knew from the
tone of Ills mother's voice that she was
fearful , nnd ho watched her OH she busied
ore to receive their stings , for ho was
going ton swiftly for that.
Hut right near them was this body of
horsemen , nnd doubtless they must be the
one to blame , and the nngry bees swiftly
started for them. Few of the soldiers hail
noted the movements of John nfter ho hnd
passed them , nnd were In consequence una-
wcru of t'it ' > cnusc ot the trouble that soon
besot thorn ,
THE FUN THAT FOLLOWED.
John glanced behind him as ho passed out
of the Inne Into the road. He hnd thrown
asldo thn hive ns soon ns hu was satisfied
It was empty nnd sped on his wny. Hut
It was a sight which he never forgot which
ho looked back upon. The horses wore rcnr-
Ing , nnd plunging , nnd kicking out In every
direction. Already ninny of the men had
been thrown , and unable to discover the
cnusc of the confusion were blaming ono an
other , and some were using their lists upon
their companions' faces. Some of the rider
less horhoi were running nbout the lane ,
and their riders were trying to catch them
again ; but mnny stopped to clnp their hatiih
to thulr faces nnd apparently forgot all
about their steeds. Some of the men nnd
horses nlrendy were disabled by the kicks
which were so frrely Indulged In , nnd above
all arose the cries nnd shouts of the men In
their confusion nnd fear.
"It's time for me to put out , " said John
ns ho snw the leader , astonished by the cries
of his men nnd the scene before him , run
quickly from the house and Join his com
panions. The lad accordingly leaped from
Ills horse's back , struck him with n switch ,

herself In hldlng'the few vnlualdes that yet
remained. He Roon went out to the plnzzn ,
nnd standing by one of the low postu kept
his gaze on the place where the Hrltlsh
would first appear.
There wa.s nothing In nil the landscape ,
however , to Indicate the presence of danger.
The leaves upon the trees were motionless
nnd the glare of the August nun was over
all. The locuMs were busy and he could
see the bees as they went In and out of the
row of hives that stood by one side of the
Inne that led from the road to the house.
U was an Ideal summer day , but John's
observations were suddenly Interrupted by
the blasts of thu buglers and the approach
ing men swept Into sight around the bend
In the road.
"Thcro must be fifty of them , " said John.
"About half of them , nrc red coatsami , half
are torlcs , " bo nddcd , ns he saw that only
a portion were clad In the Ilrltlsh uni
form.
He was not left long In doubt as to their
Intentions , however , for after halting a mo
ment by the entrance to the lane , the entire
body swerved from their course and started
toward the house.
"They're coming up the lane , mother. "
ho said , ns ho entered the room. "We'll'
hnvo to act as If we're not nfrnld. even If
we nro frightened so that wo don't know
our own names. "
Till ? HRITISH SOLDIERS.
His mother smiled , but John noticed that
eho wan very pale. Hut she was a resolute
woman and already had had experience
with the Ilrltlsh officers , ns many of the
South Carolina mothers had hnd. "We'll
do our best , " tiho said no she sent the girls
uiwtnlrs nnd took her plnco besldu John on
the piazza to await the approach of the
soldiers. They all were mounted , and the
horses plainly had been ridden hard. The
leader called n halt ns his troops drew near
the house , and. leaping to the ground , he
took off his hat and , bowing low , advanced
to speak to .Mrs. Clarke.
"Hnvo I the honor of addressing Mis
tress Clarke ? "
"Yes. sir , " she replied , waiting for him
to declare his errand.
"I have no doubt , madam , that yon art , "
loyal to your king. "
"I had a king onco. but I have none now.
Perhaps you will better know my feelings
when I tell vou that mv husband and twt ,
of my sons are now with Sumtcr. "
"Doubtless I soon shall have the pleas
ure of making their acquaintance. " replied
the soldier with a sneer. "Indeed , wo nro
bound upon that errand now. Hut mean
while wo nro In need of supplies , nnd In
eplto of your feelings must search your
"
Idaee.
"I hear you need supplies. " replied the
undaunted woman , "for It Is reported that
Bomo forty of your wagons are In the hands
of the patriots. "
The soldier's face took on a scowl as ho
replied. "Unfortunately they nre , but mark
my words , my good woman , the rebels won't
cat much. They'll soon lose their appetites.
Hut meanwhllo I must see what can bo
had here. "
"Your men have stolen everything al
ready , and you'll not find anything. " Hut
the soldier made no reply and with three
of his followers began to search the house ,
homo wore sent to the barn and for n few
minutes nothing was said by John or his
mother. Hut the lad was not one to glvo up
Idly , although fifty red coats were near.
Suddenly his faei. lighted up. Ho had
thought of n plan by which ho'mlghb over
come these Invaders of the homo , but he
said nothing to hu mother of the project
In bin mind ,
JOHN'S OFFER.
"Wo are not nblo to find anything hero ,
but I doubt not you have something of use
lo ua concealed somewhere. " said the
leader.
" , ' . ' . .Soiwo llavo " slol < up John quickly.
\ \ o have OHO poor lean cow left , but she's
out In the woods and you can't get her "
"Hut you can , you young rebel , " replied
the soldier angrily. "Olio cow Isn't much ,
but It's better than nothing. You drive her
In and bo quick about It. "
John started obedient to the words , and
disregarding the reproachful looks of his
mother. "Children and fools always speak
the truth , madam , " ho said as John left
the house. "Hero ! Hero ! " he called out
is hu ran to thu pbzzo. "You take ono
> f the horses. It'll save time nnd wo have
ao moro of that than wo hnvo of supplies. "
John's heart leaped ut the words. If ho
hail contrived the plan himself ho could
not have been suited better. Ho started
quickly for ono of the horses , which had
been tied to the rail fence , and leaped
quickly upon Its back.
"That's nil right , " called out the lender
to some of his men who were about to In
tercept John. "lie's going on an errand
for mo. "
Assured by his words , John slowly walked
his hoi-so past the men , most of whom were
still mounted and Impatiently awaiting the
coming of their leader. As the lad passed
the row of beehives ho leaned from his
horse and quickly lifted oi.o of the boxes
to his uhoiildcr. U was but the work of a
mlnuto to tear the cover , and then ho
etrticK his horse on the neck and started
him Into a swift run.
Meanwhile the furious bees were not
Idle , They poured forth In n stream from
their broken homo , ready to visit their ven
geance upon their enemies. Hut ho who
had so rudely seized the hive wtu not the
and ns he started back , ho himself quickly
sought the shelter of the woods by the road
side.
In spite of his danger and fear , he rolled
ovi-r nnd over upon the ground In his glee
ns he saw the troopers all sweep by him.
Ho had won and soon returning to the house
hu explained what hu had done to his aston
ished mother and sisters.
"Yon never saw such n sight In your
life as those men were when they passed
me. Some of them had their eyes closed
by the stings , and sonic had such swollen
lips that they couldn't do anything but swear
Yes , they swore like troopers. " ami the
boy laughed aloud as he spoke. "Then
some of them had noses swelled to the size
of powder horns and some were rubbing
their broken shins and blaming each other
for all the trouble. Hut they're all gone
now , and It Is the first tlma on record when
the continentals shot the red coats with
bees , I think I'll have to tell General Wash
ington nbout It , for it's better than powder
and bnlls. "

Now , Prince , there , thnt brlndle fellow , has a

Prince , who was taking a genuine "cat
nap" on his high stool , stirred lazily and
looked undecided whether to obey or not.
"I'm getting ready. Prince ! " the trainer
admonished , taking a box of matches from
his pocket. There was a soft llttlo thud i
mo so that I won't have to us ? It. Cats
never like nolso or confusion. Any one
familiar with their nature/ will understand
how much I have had to contend with In

The most extraordinary of all lighthouses
is to be 'found In the Hebrides , Scotland , on
Armlsh Rock , which Is separated from the
Island of Lewis by a channel over COO feet
wide. On this rock a conical beacon Is
erected , and on Its summit n lantern is tlxccl , ,
from which night after night shines a light
which Is seen by the fishermen far and wide.
Yet there Is no burning lamp In the lantern ,
nnd no attendant ever goes to It , for the
simple reason that there Is no lamp to at
tend to , no wick to trim and no oil to replen
ish.
ish.Tho
The way In which this peculiar lighthouse
Is Illuminated Is this : On the Island of Lewis ,
COO feet or so away , Is a lighthouse , and from
n window In the tower a stream of light
Is projected on a mirror In the lantern an
the summit of the Armlsh Rock. These rays
are reflected to an arrangement ot prisms ,
and by their action nre converged to n focus
outside the lantern , from which they diverge
In the necessary direction. The consequence
Is thnt to all Intents and purposes a light
house exists which has neither lamp nor
lighthouse keeper , -and yet gives as service
able a light taking Into account the re
quirements of this locnllty ns If nn elaborate
nnd costly lighthouse with lamps , service
room , bedroom , living room , storeroom , oil
loom , water tanks and all other accessories
were erected on the summit of the rock.

came slowly forward bcforo the footlights ;
thu footlights being only figurative In this
cane , for It was daylight and they were not
lit.
"They are lazy In the morning , " re
marked 1'rlnco's master. "You know It Is
the nature- cats to bo most active at night.
It IB at night that they catch the mout
rats. "
The profetaor , holding up a gayly striped
hoop ho selected , bid I'rlnco Jump through
It. This ho did two or three times and ,
then same Inflammable stuff was put on the
hoop ; It was set on fire , and the docllo cat ,
after demurring n short time and showing
plainly his disinclination , leaped through
the llamlng circle , This donu hu ran off

ns much us to say that ho had bad enough
of such doings.
METHODS OF TRAINING.
"How do I train them ? " said the profes
sor. "Not by bribing , nor1 yet through fear.
I should never feel thnt I could trust them
It I depended on such means. I huvo been
constantly with my cats , talked to and
petted them us though they were children ,
I found out their ( unto In the way of eating
and catered to It , and treated them well ,
but I never got a cat to comu to mo merely
because I had something ho wanted. Watch
NlRger kiss me. " Ho stooped over the black
cat on the stool nvxt to Prlnco , and the
animal lifted its head ud rubbed thu limn-
tcr's cheek affectionately , licking his car
with his tongue ,
"Nigger turns n backward somersault , "
the writer was told. "He la the only cat
living who In nblu to dn It. "
"What first mndo mo think of training
cats ? "
"Well. I had trained dogs , horses , mon
keys nnd kaiiReroo. My knngcroo were n
great success , but I took them to Chicago
nnd they died. The climate wns so differ
ent and they were not used to It. One dny
while walking near a pond In the suburbs
of London I saw an old lady nnd banket.
She had a cat In the basket nnd she offered
two boyi who were Idling near C pence If
they would drown It. They were crazy for
the Job , but bad nothing to tic the cat with
and came to ask me for a piece of cord.
Always fond of animals I hated to see the
creature killed , and ns I hnd n plceo of
string In my pocket I offered to tlo the vic
tim for tho.ii. They earned the C pence and
the eat , or half-grown kitten , wns pitched
Into the pond. I purposely tied the string
so thnt It could get loose , nnd had the satis
faction afterward of seeing It scramble out
dreiiehcd nnd shivering nnd crawl nft In
the sun. I discovered nccldentnjly two or
three days Inter thnt that kitten had found
Its way back to Its old home , certainly ten
miles from the pond. It had been carried
to thu spot In n closed basket , and the fact
that It hnd sense enough to make Its wny
back suggested to mo that cats could be-
trained.
A STAR CAST.
"And did you begin with the klttci. ? "
"Yes. Darkle there , with the white soot
In his forehead. Is that Identical kitten.
I hnd no difllculty In persuading the old
lady to let mo have him. All my cat-actors
were given to me ; Mr. Prince , proud ns ho
looks now. was n smlty little kitten sitting
In tire nshes of n chimney corner down south.
I had stopped Ir. nt a negro cnbln In Vir
ginia to get out of n shower nnd ho looked
at me so Intelligently when I stroked him ,
thnt I begged him from his mistress. "
"Tom was born on board ship. Ho 1ms
f bit of maltcsc blood , iut It doesn't Inter
fere with his work. Ho can walk further

A white cat , ono of thu aids , ami not
n star of the company , was put Into n
canopied doll carriage nnd Tom mndo to
push the oqulpago with his front feet while
walking upright.
"Tb.1" grjy fellow hero Is being trained
for n clown , " said the professor , Indicating
a snub-nosed looking cat who were n fool's
cap on his head. I call him \Vnmb.i. I've
only I'nil him two months , but he Is very
promising. When he has learned n partlcu-

violins struck up and the troop wns formed
Into a very good Imitation of a square set.
"It has required a great deal of practice
to teach them the figures. " observed the
trainer , ns hp cracked his whip and the
dancers tripped about the stage. "If you

I'm punishing him.

bad luck of the men who wrote the books It
most delighted to read , nnd who achieved

In the case of other people , would produce

These nre things which do not depend 01

CLASS CONDITIONS.
Hut every class , however limited , has
conditions of Its own , peculiar to Itself , nut
provnlllng In no other. . .Men of a ccrtalt
line have Gablts of their own. often vary
Ing In Important particulars , from the hab
Its of others , i\-ery calling has Its own hours
of labor and conditions of Its own under
which that labor Is performed. There art
nome businesses which cannot bo prose
cutcd by light , others which must be car
rled on solely by artificial light. The painter
cannot work by the light of a lamp , 1
would nltei ( ho vnluo of his colors ; the en
graver , on the other hnirl , finds one light
as good ns another. The work of type
composition on n dully paper Is largely done
at night , so vast numbers of printers
proofreaders and pressmen rarely know
what It Is to work by day , while the bual
ness of a clerk or salesman In a large dr )
goods store Is almost ns exclusively con-
ilned to the hours of daylight. The labors
of n farmer comr.el him to be almost con
stantly In the open air , while many classes
of mechanics nrc just ns constantly conduct
to work shops , where the ventilation Is
Imperfect nnd the air Impure. Every ont
Is nwnro of the extent to which the menta
status Is affected by the condition of tht
body ; no man can do proper work , whether
physical or mental , when his liver Is out of
order nnd his blood Is Impure , nnd there
are some people who , from long years
BIHIIII. UIIUIT improper conditions , nave
chronically bad livers and impure blood
There nro thus what may bo called class
diseases , commonly known among people ol
a certain class , but rarely attacking others
The "housemaid's knee , " nn Infirmity fro-
qucnt among women who do much scrubbing
the "base ball arm. " the "lawn tennis el
bow , " and the "match maker's Jaw , " nn
affliction resulting from phosphorous poisonIng -
Ing ; the "painter's colic. " and a dozen moro
equally familiar ailments peculiar to certain
classes of laborers , nre Illustrations of the
general statement that particular conditions
of llfo bring certain results to the physical
system.
PROFESSIONAL AILMENTS.
Mko the painter nnd the housemaid , the
literary man has his ailments , strictly pro
fessional In their nature. His Is an Indoor
llfo , nnd he Is , therefore. In the first place
subjected to the Infirmities which come from
house llfo nnd little exercise. It Is doubtful
whether the highest degree of physical health
anil strength cnn be attained by ono devoted
to literary work , as this Is so absorbing In
Its nature ns to make the professional writer
forget or Igiure all else In the diligent pur
suit of his calling. Chained to his writing
desk , his digestion becomes poor , his muscles
are weakened , so that he Is unable , even
were ho willing , to take active exercise ; his
whole system Is relaxed ; his nerves nrc un
strung and , even If no positive lesion of
the vltnl organs becomes apparent ,
ho feels that he Is "ont of sorts. "
Sooner or later , however , the general weak
ness manifests Itself at some partic
ular point , and If ho tloeo not go to piece. )
all at once like the deacon's shay , he breaks
down In spots. His eyes are frequently the
first to suffer , being greatly overtaxed ; he
gets chronic dyspepsia , ncrlvcncr's cramp at
tacks his hand , rheumatism , from some ac
cidental exposure , aflllcts Ma feet or Ills
shoulders or his back ; from lack of exercise
and too much eating and drinking he Is
seized by the gout. It Is true that some of
thcso woes are also found In other lines of
life , but In this they arc the direct results of
Ills habits. Milton , Hach , Handel , all were
blind from overstudy and work ; Carlylo's
llfo was embittered by his stomach , a dozen
writers of prominence have been stricken
by "writer's cramp ; " Wordsworth had
rheumatism from allowing a window to re
main open nnd the. cold wind to blow ncros.3
Ills feet while at work ; Gibbon was a martyr
to the gout , while apoplexy and paralysis ,
from overwork and lack of air nnd exercise ,
have slain their scores.
DISAGUEKINO WITH AUTHORITIES.
Ono of the most Rorlous professional mls-
fortuncf ) of literary men has been the fact
that they so often disagreed with the con
stituted authorities of .their place of resi
dence. Freedom of speech and of the press
Is n thing of our own day nnd not even yet ,
In all countries , Is It enjoyed to the extent
that It Is In this. Until the present century ,
when a writer took of any subject a view-
that was not ngrccablo to the authorities ,
they promptly signified their displeasure ,
and answered Ills' arguments by locking him
up , and so giving him leisure ami quiet to
reflect on the error of his opinions. Voltalrn
liad abundant experience of this professional
misfortune , and after being Incarcerated
by the French government and by
Frederick the Great , ho grew so foxlly wary
In his old ago that ho finally nettled down
nt Forney , close to the Swiss frontier ,
where ho could , nt nn hour's notice , flco
from ono country to another In case cither
bccaino a little too warm to bo comfortable.
Buchanan , Hclolgh , Docthlus , Grotlus , Dun-
yan. Seldcn , all know or learned what a dif
ference of opinion between themselves nnd
the authorities meant , and Robinson Crusoo
Defoo was so familiar with the pleasant
little way the English government had of
answering > "s political pamphlets , that ho
once xald : "If a stranger taps mo on the
shoulder In the street , I at once turn
round and walk toward Nowgato , purely
from force of habit. " Some degree of moral
as well an physical courage was required to
bo a political writer In the daya < whcn Now
gate , the pillory , the stocks and tbo ITrand-
Ing Irons were always ready for political
writers of the opposition party ; when ears
were cropped to make a man change his
views and noses wuro silt to show opposi
tion debaters that they were In the wrong ;
but to the. credit of the profession bo It Raid
all Ihceo governmental argtimentu failed to
convince , and ulnco the Invention of print
ing there has never been any lack of writ
ers to "roast" an administration that
needed euch treatment ,
LOSS OF MANU8CIUPTS.
Many authors of note have Buffered Irrep
arable loss from the destruction of their
lapurs. ( Icnerally , the < ll a ter came from
accidental lire. Bomctlmcu the labors of
many ycara being ewcpt away la an hour.
Sir Isaac Newton sustained the loss of n
hrpo mans of scientific dnta an.l cnlcula
tlons through ft lire caused by his favorite
dog , Diamond , oversetting n cAndle on the1
library table. Newton wan out of the roon
at the moment , and when he returned ( he

claimed , when he tmw the elmrrod rein
nsnis of lite papers , "iliou little knowcs

I'rr.uMiM , n philosopher nnd rliistlcal crltl
of the fifteenth century , nlinto iiinnu

that If , at the point of death , he should b

ferret ! to live In hell tnther than In heaven
Thomas ( Virlylo came very near the fat
of I'rcnous , nfter the manuscript of th
second volume of liU "French llevrvlutlon
was destroyed. He had loaned the work t
n friend , who dcvlrrd to read It. and I1
loaned It to another. This man , whll
reading It , left It on his table one night It
a .ntffi of papers , and the next morning'a
careless servant used It to ( .tart n fire. Tar
lyle bccamo almost distracted when h
learned of his lota , and his depression In
creased when he found himself nt Hist tin
able to reproduce It. Hut , throwing aa'd '
all serious occupation * ) , he gave Severn
weeks to novel leading , ns n means of ill
version ; then set to work again , and llnnll
rewrote the entire cc.-iind volume.
LAPSES OF MK'MOllY.
The lapses of memory , to which all me
nro occasionally subject , are among th
most pronounced misfortunes of n lltcrnr
character , and particularly of n writer
There Is something curiously treacherou
about the human memory. Not only doc
It fall at times when It should do Its lies
work , but It sometimes confidently assure
Its owner that It U right when It Is In th
wrong. There Is n tradition In one of th
German universities of n very great scholai
renowned for his attainments nnd alx
for his memory , which , Indeed , seemed I
huvo been little short of miraculous.Vliti
this marvel of knowledge was on his death
bed one of his scholars asked , as a partliu
word , the most valuable hint or Eiiggestloi
that the old professor could make. Th
old man opened 1'ls lips , and his pupil
gathered around expecting a verbal per
of great price to drop from them. "Alwa >
verify your citations , " said the dying pro
fessor , and gave up the ghost. The ndvlc
was worthy of Ihe man nnd moment , fo
of all things , to n ncholnr there Is no labo
moro needful. Ho may feel morally sur
that he can give a quotation In the word
of the author , nnd he may be entirely mis
tnken , for the mental substitution of on
little word for another may flhow to th
Initiated that , while he means well , he I
not exact either In his Information or In hi
way of stating It. He may be perfectlj
sure of his dates nnd have them trans
posed ; ho may use one name when h
menus to use another ; lie may attribute r
saying to one man when the credit Is du
to another. Mncaulay had a phenomena
memory , but when writing bU essay 01
Oliver Goldsmith and speaking of the hast )
and careless manner In which much of thn
author's work was done , the great essayls
wrote. "Vicar of Wakefleld" when he In
tended to write "History of Greece , " am
so , until he could correct the mistake In th
next Issue of the review , the classic Macau
lay po&ed before the public ns a man who
thought the "Vicar of Wakellcld" a badl >
written book.
ODD DLUNDEItS.
A book might he composed on the blitn
dcr * made by authors through inoinontao
forgetfuliKss or from that queer ojeltnnc\
which sometimes comes to the most acuti
Intelligence. Akcnslde had n fit nf this tern
poiary mental aberration when he wrote
"Ho Views the Ganges from Alpine Heights , '
and Allison , the historian , must have beci
similarly nllllctcd when he made Sir Perl
grluc Pickle oneof the pall-bearers of tin
duke of Welllncton. Cervantes' Immorta
work Is filled with blunders of forgctfulness
In one place he tclla us about the gnllc )
slaves setting upon the don and nclzlng
Mambrlno's helmet ; they broke It nil to
pieces , or to bo exact , "In a thousam
plccw , " while a llttlo later Don Quixote
comes marching from his chamber armcc
cap-a-pio with the barber's basin on his
head. In ono place Glues do Paascmonte
steals Saneho's Dapple , nnd n few pager
further on we are told about the Don riding
along the highway while Sancho content
edly Jogged after , seated on his donkey
Dickens , too , made bad "breaks. " It
"Nicholas Nlckleby" the boys of Squcers
school arc set to worlt hoeing turnips In
midwinter , and In the "Tale of Two Cities'
ho speaks of the "chief functionary of thr
guillotine" as of the same nnino an ( hi
"strong man of old scripture , " regardless o :
the fact that the former was named Sansor
nnd the latter Sampon. These are blunder !
ot mere forgetfulncss , the writer fancying
In some cases , that ho sufllelently remcm
bcrcd what he had already written , and se
not taking the trouble to verify the accurae ;
of his knowledge , blundered along Into an
error , sometimes laughable In Its absurdity
and nt others relying on his recollection
for a historic statement In which his mem
ory was entirely at fault. A few moments'
work In verifying a dale , or making cer
tain of a quotation , or confirming tin
accuracy of a historical reference , woul >
have saved the mortification of n bad blun
der as well as the credit of the writer , foi
mistakes In plain historical statements , tin
facts of which can bo ascertained from or
dinary books of reference , cast discredit or.

render Instantly concluding that the same
carelessness would ho shown elsewhere at
In the Instances which fell under his notice.
TYPOGRAPHICAL IJLUNDEIIS.
Ever slnco the Invention of types the
printer has been compelled to bear n load
if slnu which were not always his own.
The haste , carelessness , laziness and Ig-
nornnco of authors occasion Innumerable
Idiinders in manuscript , of which the writer ,
after the matter has appeared In print , Is
Ihoroughly ashamed , and whenever the na
ture of the cauo admits , tlicso arc foisted
on the "Intelligent compositor. " It Is not
possible to make such a disposition of them
ill , but the general Inclination Inherent
in human nature to shift blame to the shoul
ders of some ono else causes a careless
writer to unload nl ! ho can on the printer ,
and In every printing ofllco the spectacle of
ho angry writer Instating that he did not
wrlto what had appeared In print , and
scarcely convinced even when shown the
uanUBcrlpt. Is painfully common. Hasty
nnd Illegible handwriting Is responsible for
nnny blunders , not n few \yriters entertain
ing the Idea that to wrlto badly Is a mark
of genius ; so they wrlto In such a style that
hey cannot themselves read the matter afte *
hey have forgotten the aubject , and then
) lnmo the printer If every letter la not ex
actly right. There Is probably not n profes
sional writer In this country who has not
reasons once or twice a month to thank
irlntcrs and proof readers for correcting
some mistake or blunder In his matter , fre
quently trivial , but occasionally of grnvo Im
portance. The slips of the press , however ,
inlntentlonal ns they are , sometimes become
extremely funny , and occasionally nro pro-
luctlvo of conacqucncea the reverse
of agreeable. The reporter who , In nn
account of a noddy gathering , wrote An
' \alt club , and was subsequently forced to
run a gauntlet of enraged fathers , brothers
and lovers because the word * appeared aa
Anti-Fat club , probably MIW llttlo humor
In the blunder , but persons not concerned
In the affair could not he blamed for de
riving considerable amusement from It. Lit
erary history Is full of entertaining blun
ders of the press , but perhaps no ono Is
moro curious than the Incident narrated by
Disraeli of thu book called "Tho Anatomy
of the Mass , " published by a pious monk In
Ififil. It Is a book of 172 pages nnd at the
close are fifteen closely printed pages of
'orruta , " prefaced by a few remarks by the
author. Ho apologizes for the Imincnso
number of blunders , uncqualed In a work of
that size , and attributes their amazing fre
quency to no lens an agency than .Satan
ilmself. The duvll , ho says , was fearful of
thu Influence such a book would bavc , and.
dutormlnvd to spoil it , first contrived to
make the author drop It as hu was crossing
a ditch , whereby It became watc.r-f > oalu'd
and almost Illegible. 'Doing rescued , bow-
over , and put In the hands of the printers ,
ho old enemy but In-red them to mich a de
gree and caused them to make no many
nlstnkcs that It enjoyed the pro-cnilm uco of
icing the worst executed book that over
came from the pros , Determined , however ,
hat Satan should not have the udvantago.

all the blundcra , and annexed the pagci of

I'.U'GIIT STEALING.
To be detected In appropriating the wordi
and phritses of nnotlivr Is certainly n pro-
femilonnl misfortune of no smnll proportions
tions , yet mich n calamity hna befallen
moro than one literary man of mnrlu-d
abilities. As n rule , n well-proven case of
plagiarism has either greatly damaged or
closed the literary career of the culprit ,
but there Is at least one prominent Instna :
to the centraly. for Henjnmtn Dlsrnrli In-
nan his literary life by n ( lagrnnt plngi.ir-
Ism whleh was Instantly detected nnd
pointed out In the dally presn. Disraeli
made but n Uino excuse , and the occurrence )
would probably have terminated the lit
erary life of n less nblo man , but be sur
vived It nnd the story Is now found only
In the curios of literature. There Is an
other brilliant plagiarist whose sin has been
condoned In virtue of the elegant use ho
made of his stealings. "Lucille" , had not
bron In print six months ere Rome ono
dlsroveied that the plot , the story , meat ot
the Incidents and much of the Inngungo
were lifted bodily from a novel by
George Saml. Of course the discovert r In
stantly rushed to the nearest newspaper *
office with his discovery , nnd equally , of I
counu\ the editor saw n goo , ! Item In tlui f
Information nnd made us much of It as ho f
could. Other Journals copied the exposure ) ! '
and Owun Meredith was subjected to a
belaboring at the haitds of the critics Hint ?
would hnvo extinguished a literary light 4
of Ima magnitude. Hut somehow tinpeo - F
pie had taken n fancy to "Lucille" nnd thn
charges of stealing made not the sllghttst
Impression. People even went so far as '
to say they did not care If he did steal It.
It was good , nnd showed that he knew i
how to steal with tnsle and skill. So little by
little the critics got tired of howling nbout
the llternry wickedness of n mini who could
atenl n whole novel nnd pass It off for hi *
MWII ; the plnglnrlmn wns forgotten nnd ii ;
now remembered only In books of llternry
anecdote. In his cane- , therefore , being
caught stenltng proved 1,0 misfortune ; In
deed It rnther proved nn advantage , for the !
controversy resulting from the charge widely
advertised the book which It wns Intended f
to ruin. Spenklng of ruining a book recalls - '
calls the fnct that one of the most serious '
professional misfortunes of literary men has i
been the ruin that not only n few brought ,
on themselves by Investing nil they had In
the publication of their works. In several
( -.sea they hnvo ruined book sellers , who i
were persuaded or cajoled Into undertak
ing an expensive work , in mnny volumes ,
' - r.t n n rule the publishers have been
shrewd enough to nvold disasters of thin
kind by allowing the author to assume the
financial responsibility. This , when able ,
they were almost always willing to do , _ _ rf
mil when the work did not sell , they were \
frequently reduced to poverty by the out
lay. The misery which. In not n few In-
stnnces , has been the portion of literary
old nge , wns thus not always thu result ot
unkindly fate , for nn author who risks too
much to got his name before the public hns
no right to complain If financial disaster
attends his venture. A lack of business
discretion ! s a common misfortune ntnonff-
nien of letters , nnd perhaps the most serious
that has befallen the class.
