Not a Newspaper Man.

It is told of a popular French writer that he must have paper of various tints and sizes according as he works at one kind of literature or another. If, for instance, he is writing the gossip of the day for a newspaper, he employs white, unruled slips, seven inches by four; for fiction, in narrative he requires larger sheets, of a green color; md the paper upon which he pens his iramatic conceptions must be yellow, in sheets one foot square. Poetry be writes with equal flnency on dwarfish paper that is either faint corn-color or pink; and criticisms of the theater or of books are committed to ordinary brown wrapping-paper, or to the backs us buff envelopes, or white envelopes which have been carried in the pocket for a long time. In dictating to a itenographer or a type-writer it is immaterial to him what kind of paper is jmployed.— Harper’s Weekly.
