Anson'a appearance was hooted, and his errors, of which he made three, applauded, and the crowd seemed to he glad when Indianapolis won the game.

Tbe third and last game of the season between St Louis and Brooklyn occurred to-day, and resulted in an easy victory for the champions. Porter, the Brooklyn pitcher, was wild, giving five men bases on balls, -and but for People's help bis errors would have been costly. The St. Louis men fielded well. The Brooklyns fielded indifferently, and tbe errors made were costly. The batting of Phillips, of tbe home team, and O'Neil, Latham and Robinson, of St Louis, is worthy of mention. Gleason, Boyle and Comiskey fielded perfectly for the visitors. McClelland, Phillips and Peoples did the best for Brooklyn. A very strong wind swept the ground, which partially accounted for the number of flies, St Louis gathered in seventeen and Brooklyn eleven.

He was magnificently supported, the one error charged to Carpenter not costing anythine. Kilroy was hit rather freely, especially by Reilly, who scored a single, a double and a home run, bnt his support was excellent, and the visitors won with timely batting. Attendance, 1,500.

The Louisvilles and Metropolitans played a good game to-day. The visitors played well, with the exception of White, who muffed two easy flies and made a bad fumble of Gerhardt's grounder. Cross and Chamberlain played a very fine game, and the rest of the team supported them well. The Metropolitans rave an exhibition of fine throwing in the eighth inning. Wolf was hit by a pitched ball and got first When he attempted to steal secend, llolbert threw wild to Gerhardt Wolf started to third, and Jones, who had got the ball, threw it wild to third. Then Wolf went home on a wild throw of Mays. This- playing disgusted the spectators and many of them left the grounds. Score: Metropolitans.

The hard luck of the Indianapolis club while it was accompanied by Romeo Johnson, on its Eastern trip, is regarded by the managers of the team as a more serious matter than the public generally supposes. There is nothing in the make-up of a professional base-ball player that predominates over his superstitions. He looks upon his business as one dependent almos entirely npon luck, which he expects to turn either in his favor or against him, as it is affected by such influences as his experience has taught him controls the mysterious and fateful power. The players of the Indianapolis club regard Johnson as an eyii genius of the most diabolical kind, and have united in a written protest, which was received by President Brush yesterday, against bis being allowed to appear on the Indianapolis grounds during any of tbe games that are to be played here during the remainder of the season. They are very much, in earnest in the matter, and urge that steps should be taken at once to protect them from any further trouble from him. Boyle has given notice that he will never again pitch In a earns that Johnson is allowed to witness, and Myers threatens to leave the club if the desired protection is not given. The players are loth to tell all that they know about Johnson's strange, but blighting power, for they evidently fear him. A letter from Manager Fogel, accompanying the protest, states, however, that it was discovered accidentally that he carried a "hoo dooed" rabbit's foot, which the players found was really a terrible thing. As an instance, he savs that on the triD from Boston to Pittsburg, Johnson and Tug Arundel fell asleep in the same seat, and Arundel's head, by gradual movement, finally rested on Johnson's shoulder. Instantly, however. Tug jumped into the air, yelling like a maniac When he had been Quieted sufficiently to talk he declared that Johnson was possessed c? the devil. He had been dreaming of playing ball, and was in the act of catching a foul fly, when his head fell on Johnson's shoulder and what had seemed to him like a ball instantly changed into a huge black rabbit's foot, with claws that squirmed like ser pents, and it feu square into bis open xnoatn. Base-Bail Notes. Boston Herald: Indianapolis will be on the scene again next season. Devlin, lately released by the Phillies, is to ba given a trial by the Athletics. The Crawford sville Reds yesterday defeated the Champaign Clippers, 8 to 5. Irwin, Akron's former promising pitcher, has been sighed by the Kalamazoos, and will join that olub in Canton, Saturday. The came yesterday between the Unions and MeMickin Stars, of Cincinnati, ended in a score of 13 to 12 in favor of Cincinnati It is not at all unlikely that the Duluth baseball club will finish the games now scheduled for that city elsewhere. Lack of sufficient patron age there is the cause. Gibson, who was released by the Philadelphia club, may join tbe same team again, as Clements, Gunning and McGuire are suffering from injuries. Cleveland also wants Gibson. The Rutland Athletic Association has voted to disband its base-ball club. The club is not in debt, but is too expensive for the town to sup port Tbe salary list is nearly $1,000 a month The new base-ball nark at Dogansport was opened yesterday with a game between tbe Green Stockings, of South Bend, and tbe Dogansport Stars. At the close of the ninth inning the score stood 4 to 4. The tenth inning was played, in which the Green Stockings made 1. The New'York Sun thinks that captains should wait until after the game before they fine mem bers of their teams. Then, being less heated, they may conclude that instead or nmng tneir players" the only justifiable means of obtaining satisfaction is to lick the umpire, but that being contrary to base-ball principles thev must possess themselves in silence. There can no longer be any doubt, even in the few minds that have entertained one, as to what caused the continued defeats of the Indianapolis club in its trip. Jonah Johnson left them on Tuesday, and tbe club beat the South Bends on Wednesday and the Chicagos yesterday. Put this and that together, gentle reader, and draw your own conclusions. When Nelson was released by the Metropoli tan Club. Manager Mutrie at once sent for him. and the result of the consultation which followed was that in case the American Association clubs would waive their rights to him, be would sign a contract with the iNew Yorks. dearly all tne clubs were heard from Tuesday, and by this time Nelson is a full-fledged Giant Radbourn. when he pitched for the Bostons Tuesday, the New York Sun says, appeared to te in one of his worst su.king fits. He acted as though the result of tbe game were a matter of tbe utmost indifference, and so generally dis graced himself that the spectators at last hissed every action or nis. and applauded vociferously whenever the Philadelphias gained a point It was suggested, and perhaps not inopportunely. that he had been observing Labor Day. Wheth er ne bad or not, nis stancnest supporters de serted him, and were as loud in their expressions of disgust as any one. The directors of the club were enraged beyond measure, and at a meeting held immediately after tbe game decided, with very uttie aiscnssion ana wun entire narmony. to apply the punishment which was threatened week ago, and accordingly tbe once king pitcher of the League, if not of the country, now stands suspended indefinitely, with loss of pay. for indifferent work in the box.

San Francisco Examiner. "I had a very singular experience last Sunday," Baid a tradesman, whose shop in Oakland ia adorned by the sign, "Ornithological Rarities," but who, on a pincb, would sell a dog or a rabbit. 'I was walking on the beach, not very far from the Cliff House, and I had just noticed that an unusually large number of sea gulls were flying over the sands, when a hard substance struck me violently upon tbe head and staggered me. LucKily my hat was very thick and I am blessed with a tolerably solid skull. So 1 soon recovered myself, and I was looking about to ascertain what had hit me. when I was greatly startled by a weird and ghostly fluttering of wings a foot above me. A great gray gull had narrowly escaped alighting npon my shoulders. He just succeeded in checking his impetuous descent as his feet almost touched me. With queer kind of halffrightened cry he was again into tbe air. But what had brought him so clo'sa to mef I soon found out Lying on the sand was the thing that had given me the blow npon the head. It was a large black mussel, and the sea gull bad dropped it from a dizzy height upon my unoffending scalp. I have stndied the habits of these birds pretty carefully, and I know very well why he had done it He was trying to get at his dinner, and as tbe shell of the mussel was still unbroken, and I wished to see him try again I walked a couple of hundred yards away and then turned to watch his movements. Seeing that the coast was clear he quickly flew back to the place where the mussel bad fallen, seized it in his beak and. again rising high into the air, he let it drop. He followed it closely as it fell, keeping almost beside it during the greater part of the descent and only moderating his downward rush when he was in danger of dashing himself upon the beach. The mussel struck the sand, but the shell was still unbroken, and, indeed, it was very evident to me that the soft ground that received it would never lay it open. Then I flung the mussel to a distance, and the gull, seeming to take this as a bint that my head was not a chopping block, seized his troublesome delicacy and flew away. I saw him turn a little inland, rise once more to a great height, dart swiftly down and then wing his way out to sea. I found that many stones lay at the place of his last descent; so. doubtless, bis perseverance was at length rewarded and he bad gone off to some lonely rock to dine." A NATION OP TEA-DRINKERS. Food and Reverage of the Russians A Drink Which Cheers but Does Not Inebriate. Outing. The Russians are a nation of tea-drinkers; coffee is rare; tea is universal, and universally good. The best tea I ever drank was in Russia. They drink it at all hours and without regard to quantity sometimes ten cups at a sitting and yet, apparently, with impunity. Brass urns, in which tea water is boiled by means of a charcoal fire, are found over all tbe empire; they are called samovars, and I found it important to include in my Kusslan vocabluary tu word "ana' ovar." Their method of making and drinking tea has been noticed by all travelers in their country. They claim that water at the boiling point is destructive to the good-qualities of tea, so they draw their tea with water just below that point. They nse thin glass tumblers, with ordinarv saucers; sometimes the women nse cups, but the men never; tbe tea is poured into saucers .which are held on the upturned ends of the thnmb and finger of tbe right band; milk and cream are rarely used; a block of cut sugar is held in the left hand, from which they nibble pieces, as they slowly sip their delicious, winecolored tea. These people are called by the Germans tbe "Onion Russians," because of the quantity of onions they eat; they might, with more propriety, be called a nation of cucumber eaters. Cucumbers are raised in great quantities, of excellent quality, and may be found, pickled, anywhere between Behring strait and the Baltic. Cucumber water is a favorite hot weather beverage, rr if you will permit a Celticism, they make their lemonade from cucumbers. This light beverage, however, is not sufficient to allay the thirst of tbe mujik; from his abundant rye he makes a powerful brandy, called vodka; that it is high proof is well attested by the numerous drunken men over which one must tread in the streets. Though I saw in many gardens good potatoes, cabbages, radishes and turnips, the much-maligned sunflower was the only apology I saw for floriculture. Its seeds are esteemed a great delicacy by the young people, and are found for sale in every shop. We may regard the sunflower seed as the peanut of the Russian peasantry. Their agricultural implements are of the rndest character. Grass is cut with straight, shapeless blades, made at the country blacksmith's shop, and Attached to the end of a straight stick. Women in Business. Buffalo Courier. A gentle, lovely woman entered a Main street bank yesterday. She wanted a check cashed, so she went to the receiving teller's window and thrust the check in. The teller shoved it back. "Next window," said he. "Next -winter! I can't wait till next winter." exclaimed the lady. "1 said next winder," shouted the teller, "w-i-n-d-o-w, window; tother window." "Oh, yes, but this is the receiving window, isn't it?" "Yes, but youcau't get any monoy here." "But I'm going to receive it, ain't 1?" "Not here you ain't; go to the other window, lady, he ll fix von." The lady was still uncertain, but she went, and ehoved in her check. The polite official thrust it back. "It's not indorsed, madsrn." xaid he. "Not indorsed? What does that meanl" "Is your name Tucker?" "P'raps it is. and p'raps it isn't. What business is that o'yoursJ" "Is this your name on the face of this checkl" "yes, it is." "Well, you've got to indorse it." "That's what you said before. What do you meanf" "You must write your name aoross the back of it." But mv name's on it already." "Not on the back." "On the front." "That ain't enongh: it must be across the back." "Oh, well, gi' me it." She took it and carefully wrote her namo upside down across the bottom of the check, and handed it in." "You indorsed it wrong, madam." "How'd 1 know how you wanted it? Why didn't you tell me?" "I thoucht I did; here, write it across the top, bo," and the teller painf 'illy showed her. and with much grudging she comi-lied- The teller thereupon cashed her check with two silver dollars. "I ain't going to take those," she said. "Gi'me bills. The teller sighed and gave her two SI bills, whereupen she picked up her parasol and departed. A Grocer's Profits. Good Housekeeping. The sale of paper is a great part of a grocer's business. The way it is sold is unobserved by the purchaser, and it is not supposed it ia purchased at all. A ream of wrapping paper weighs about fifty pounds, and costs about seven cents a pound. The articles that are necessary to wrap in paper are weighed after a sufficient amount of the paper is placed in the scales for the wrapping. Of course the paper is a part of the weight This means of obtaining a sale of paper in the case of tea at sixty cents per pound gives the grocer $30 for a ream of paper. All articles give a profit for the paper corresponding to the price of the goods. The use of paper in scales should be forbidden. When it is discerned what an imposition it is, it will be stopped. Grocers are all acquainted with this way of getting a profit cn paper. A poor man is unable to pay a profit on paper. A merchant of too much character to cheat any one will not weigh his paper. His pound is sixteen ounces of the goods purchased. There are a great many cheats that a community does not see. For tea, in place of sauce prepare some pears in this way: Wipe, but do not peel them; then steam- them until they are tender, take them from the steamer, put them in a pudding dish, add enough water to almost but not quite cover them, and a cupful of sugar to a quart of pears. Set them in the oven for from fifteen to twenty minutes. Quinces are also nice, served in this way, only they should be peeled and cut in halves. 100 doses one dollar is inseparably connected with Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it is true of no other medicine. A bottle ot Hood's Sarsaparilla contains 100 doses, and will last a month.' while others will average to last cot over a week. Use only Hood's Sarsaparilla,

CURRENT LITERATURE.

A Brief Glance at tbe Contents of Some of the September Magazines. The September North American Review opens ' with the first of a series of papers on "Possible Presidents," to be written by their most trusted friends. James G. Blaine hesds the list, and the article is, of course, eulogistic, bnt as the name of the outhor is not given, the reader is left to speculate as to the identity of his "most trusted friend." As an offset to the partisanship of this paper is one upon "the Democratio out look," by Henry Watterson. in which the re election of Cleveland is confidently prophesied. Cant S. H. M. Byers contributes a brief but vivid description of "Sherman's March to the Sea." Jefferson Davis treats of the "Life and Character of Calhoun." and, as might be expect ed, invests that distinguished Southerner with the highest qualities of statesmanship and pa triotism. He indignantly denies the "odious and unfounded" eharee that Calhoun was a disunionist, and attempts to shothat the nullifi cation policy which he advocated was intended to conserve, not to destroy tbe Union. Dr. Felix L. Oswald advocates summer refrigera- . tion, and says it seeds no special clairvoyance to foresee that the cities of the future will have refrigeration companies and arctic reservoirs with a network of cold-air pipes, and that peopie will enjoy the luxury of having their homes cooled to comfortable temperature as they now have them heated in the winter. Gen. Lloyd S- Bryce, m a paper entitled "A Service of Love." gives some interesting tacts and suggestions concerning our State militia. William Hosea Ballou speculates in an entertaining way on tbe possi ble character of the American of the future. He believes that the amalgamation of races in the United States has already resulted in a higher type of man, and concludes that "this assemb lage of nations on the American continent, this rapid development of a universal language by the amalgamation of all tongues past and pres ent, tdis formation of a single race out ot all races, can only be regarded as a colossal scheme of nature to infiltrate new life into humanity and produce an enduring and higher type of men and language." David li. Locke writes in a very positive way of the advantages of prohibition over tbe system of high license. Yan Phon Lee, a recent graduate of Yale College, tells why he is not a heathen, the article being a reply to Wong Chin Foo, who in a recent i3sue explained why he was a heathen. ' William L. Scruggs takes for his topio "Blundering Ameri can Diplomacy, but out of the many instances illustrative of bis text be confines himself to two, both having relation to the attitude of the United States toward Central America. The New Princeton Review for September opens with a critical estimate of Lord Byron and his works by Richard Henry Stoddard, which is of great interest as showing how the trained and mature mind of one, who is himself a poet as well as a critic, may appreciate the genius of the wayward and passionate soul, and enter into a sympathetic understanding of the ill-balanced nature. H. W. Conn discusses tbe different theories of the origin of life and compares their relative weight and value. The coming centen nial celebration of the federal Constitution brings that great instrument up for discussion in all the periodicals. Students of constitutional history, will study the points made by the various writers of interest and value. Prof. Alex ander Johnston, in the Review, points out the indebtedness of the framers of the document to the work already done by the States. Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, gives "Some Plain Words on Prohibition," and Brander Matthews has something new to say on the subject of interna tional copyright William L. Gifford contributes an interesting histori cal paper on the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, in 1842. Francis N. Zabriskie considers "tbe essay as a literary form and reality." He says of the essayist that he "is not tbe commercial traveler nor the scientific explorer, but rather the excursionist of literature. There may be several ways of reachiug a given point as by railway, or steamboat, or turnpike stage with relays of horses. But there may also be such a thing as getting upon an ambling horse or into a family phaeton, and logging on through bridle paths or through primrose and hawthorn lanes, going by the sun and not tbe guide-book, making detours to ;gather wild flowers, to gain a wider prospect, or o visit some Oid mansion . or an old friend. I Perhaps ths way is worth more than the goal. and is an and in Itself." "The Town's Mind" is an account by Wm. Root Bliss of some old-time political institution of tre New England town. "A Greek Girl's Outing." is a pleasant little story of classic life, by Mrs. uuha C. It Dorr. As many times as the home of Thomas Jeffer son has been described, John Nicolay and Frank Stockton have found it possible to say something new or perhaps the old things in a new and entertaining way, for the September Century. Nicolay writes of the building of the homestead at Monticello, and Stockton tells something of its later history. A fine portrait of Jefferson forms the frontispiece of the magazine. The humorous complaint that the Hav-Nicolay history of Lincoln mentions every one bnt Lin coln himself no longer holds good, the Septem ber installment containing an account of his nomination to the presidency and events immediately following. "Snubbin thro' Jersey" is a thin thread of text upon which to string some very pretty illustrations. An article in amateur photography also serves the same decorative purpose. "The Chemistry of Food and Nutrition" serves W. O. Atwater as his text for this month tbe series, of which this is the fourth, being of professional and technical, rather than a popular character. However, four writers describe tbe chief events of the siege of Petersburg with a vividness only possible to those who were themselves participants. John Bach MeMaster presents a timely paper on the "Framers and Framing of the Constitution." A sketch entitled "Helen." by Harriet Bradley, is interesting only as showing what may come of the tendency of women to overwork themselves for tbe sake of the public, Frank Stockton's serial, "Tbe Hundredth Man,' draws to a close, and Joel Chandler Harris's "Azalia" inspires the reader with a mild interest. Three sonnets of not very conspicuous! merit, and two stanzas entitled "Mother and Artist." by Alice Williams Brctherton, complete the poetry of the number. Tbe hygienic character of Home Knowledge is clearly indicated by the table of contents of the September number. Felex L. Oswald, M. D., takes the view that vaccination transmits more disease than it prevents, and endeavors, though not very successfully, to prove that it is a curse. John F. McCann, M. D.f treats of water and its relations to health; Alexander Wilder, M. D., discusses insanity and its proper treatment; Rev. Charles P. McCarthy describes some of the phenomena of mesmerism, and urges tbe use of this mysterious power upon the insane. Lana D. Starr discourses in a practical manner upon "Aids to Beauty;" Geo. Covert, M. D., extols the virtues of rest as a curative agent in all rlasses of disease, mental or physical, and John P. Nolan, M." D., sustains the medical character of the magazine by telling a bloodcurdling doctor's story. Published by the Home Knowledge Association, New York. . Some of the instructions laid down for the benefit of literary workers by contributors to the Writer are not likely to meet with the unqualified approval of editors and experienced writers. The tnggestion, for instance, that poets who have failed to get their verses into print may trap the unwary editor into publishing tbem by incorporating them in prose essay, or stories, is of doubtful value. If the poetry is worth printing it will stand on its own merits and need no bolstering. There is. however, much that is helpful to all classes of literary folk in the way of hint and information iu each issue of this little magazine. Published in Boston. Outing grows more attractive with each issue, and is cot only full of interest for the actual tourist but its stories of outdoor life and adventure may supply a not unsatisfactory substitute for tbe real experience to the imaginative stay-at home. Contributors to the September iasue cover a wide field, reaching from Afghanistan to the Chicago boulevards, and including seal fishing in the arctio and bear-trapping in the West 140 Nassau street, New York. Publishers Trade Catalogues give glimpses in to the book world which those of limited time can secure in no other way. Scribner's Book Buyer for September is unusually attractive on account of tbe specimen illustrations from coming volumes. The frontispiece is a portrait of Arlo Bates. Tbe gossip about authors is an attractive feature of Brentano's Book Chat Fowler & Wells are issuing a series of leaflets entitled the "Human Nature Library," and "devoted to what most concerns bodv and mind." No. 2 treats of phrenology aud its principles. Wide Awake for September opens with an ar tide on the Centennial of the Federal Constitution, which, by reason of its illustrations, will

Alden's Library Magazine contains the cream of the English periodicals in a cc" pact and impressive form. A Fragment of Indiana History. Judge D. D. Banta, of Franklin, has just pub lished a neat pamphlet of fifty pages, entitled "Making a Neighborhood." The neighborhood referred to is the old Presbyterian settlement about Shiloh Church, in Johnson county a neighborhood where. Calvinism was preserved for many years it the same austere purity that marked it in New England. "Very faithfully and very graphically has the author portrayed the lifa-work of these pioneer fathers, their hard ships, their humble joys, their victories of peace. Very clearly has he shown the effects of sectar ianism in the formation of the first settlements. As a study of social and economical develop ment a branch of histoncl work in wnich In diana is sadly deficient it is one of tbe best, if not the very best, that the State has produced. It stands the severest test of local historical work; it is interesting to a reader who knows uone of the characters. One might well wish to know char acters of whom it can oe saia: -ror more than twenty years not a jtidsment was ever entered against a roan of Shiloh in a court of record. For more than twenty years not a sheriff of Johnson county ever came to ti e neighborhood of Shiloh witb a summons, a writ. or even a subpoena for one of its citizens, except as one of their number was now and tnn wanted to serve on one of the juries of tbe, county. For more than twenty years not a man of Shiloh evecraade a mortgage; never aia one make an aseignment of his property for tbe benefit of his creditors, nor smuggle his property to keep from paying his debts." It is to be hoped that taere win do more wors of this character in the field of local history. There are doubtless men in roost localities who are capable of doing it, if they have the patience and the will, and the worK is wm worm doing. There may be no money in it possibly notewn generous contemporary appreciation -out li any man is certain oi lasting memory ifc.io tue careful, faithful historian. Literary Notes. John Russell Young is collecting material for a history or tne civil me u jreu. ursub Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton's Wide Awake sketches of successful women and authors will be issued shortly in book-form. Ticknor's paper series of summer novels has been so successful that the firm has resolved to continue it semi-monthly, publishing an original copyright novel every first and third Saturday of the month. Ginn & Co., of Boston, announce that ''Lent's Lay of the Last Minstrel," edited for the series of classics of children by Margaret Andrews Al len, is now in the printers' hands and will be published in two or three months. "St Bernardis: the Romance of a Medical Student." by "Esculapius Scalpel," is the title of a Browning novel to be published in Septem ber, the plot being based on tbe poets "War ing." The story is saia to renect a gooa aeai or the Greek poets' teaching and philosophy. A new edition of "Rominisences of Friedrich Frobel, by Baroness von Marenholz-Bulow," as translated by the late Mrs. Horace Maun, will soon be issued by Lee & Sbepard, Boston. The same house will publish a new edition of "The Life and Times of Wendell Phillips," by George Lowell Austin. Dr. Jekyli and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Stevenson's famous story, was written in four days, a most remarkable literary feat, both for its striking plot and the rapidity of its execution. The Drnamiter is tbe joint composition of Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, and contains their united observations and notes. The J. B. Lippineott company will shortly is sue a small volume on Goethe's Fanst legend from the pen of the editor of its magazine, Mr. Wm. S. Walsb, and lilustrated with five etch ings by Herman Faber. To Fanst Mr. Walsh has devoted many years of loving study, and in thia volume the reader will find the last word of European and American criticism on this lit erary enigma. The interest that attaches to everything re lating to the Bronte family has led Mr. J. A. Erskme Stuart to undertake the preparation of a work to be called "The Bronte Country." which will treat of tbe physical features and the antiquarian aspects of the country either associated with the birth and growth of tbe Brontes, or immortalized in their novels. A chapter will be included, entitled "Collectanea Bronteana; or, Riddlings from Bronte Bibliography," in which some curious anecdotes and stray sketches from trustworthy sources are promised. The volume will be sold by subscription. A Poor Use for Pins. The Writer. The man who sits at his desk to write without paper. pen. pencil, ink, mucilage and shears within easy reach is almost as foolish as the man who might undertake to build a house with a jack-knife for his only tool. Writing is a trade, and writers who do not avail themselves of the best tools obtainable for their mirnose. must alwava work at a disadvantacra. Fnw of them let it be said to their credit try togt along wit nout paper, and pen. and ink; but many of them, as every editor knows from experience with his contributors, seem to think that no other tools are necessary. For shears and mucilage, particularly. some writers seem to nave anunconqueraoie aversion. finned manuscripts, clumcilv fastened together in a way that makes almost certain the loss of some of the detached bits of paper, are a common cause of vigorous comment in editorial ouiees.

The old question: "What becomes of all the pins?" may be answered in part by saving that hundreds of them accompany manuscripts into editors' offices every week; and it may be added, by the way, that editors are unanimous in wishing that they didu t Of Interest to Westerners.
