Burdette’s Advice to a Young Writer.

j This department is a little overcrowded just now, at a time when every man who has learned to read and write, and is not under contract to tell war stories by the mile, is writing columns of instruction to other literary people, telling them what, how, when, and where to write. But these instructions appear to miss all the vital points, to which I now direct the attention of people who aim to excel in literary work. A literary man requires a great deal of sleep. So do his readers. If the author can sleep ten hours a day, his readers, under the law for the prevention of cruelty to animals, are entitled to eleven. And they ought to take it, too, every time they pick up his book. y Of , all thing?, the author should be careful of his brains. It should not be used at all for twelve hours before going to bed, nor between meals. In writing for the stage, should the work in hand be an American society drama, the brain of the writer should not be used at all. Then the people who go to see the play will not have to use theirs either, if they are foolish enough to take them to the theater with them. In writing a tragedy, great care must be taken in the selection of a good stage carpenter, after which the author may go to sleep. About an hour and a half a day is as long as any literary man *hould work. You should rise some time in the morning, nibble a few biscuits and down a cup of coffee, and th<x go back to bed and think until you fall asleep. Then rise again and take a good, hearty breakfast. After breakfast do not go to work, but lie on your back on the sofa and read until luncheon is announced. A literary man or woman requires a great deal of food. After luncheon walk around in the garden or swing in a hammock, or recline in an easy chair until dinner time, say 3 o’clock. Avoid sudden exertion; it is apt to develop heart disease. Do not attempt to do any work immediately after dinner. Go to your room and lie down. If you are a smoker a good cigar before your nap will do no harm if you will be careful to smoke another one immediately after it, “After the nap or the cigar ?” Both, my son. You should now rest until' tea time, at 6or 7 o’clock. If you have any regard for your health you will do no literary work between tea and supper time. Go to the theater and enjoy a nap, or lounge about !the house, or lie down and rest a little. If you feel a bit hungry a light luncheon will not spoil your supper. In fact, a literary man cannot be too careful in this matter of revictualing Nicsics. Always keep a pot of coffee, or a kettle of clam chowder, or some beef tea. or some hearty soup sizzling on the stove, ready to your hand and mouth at a minute’s warning. Always lie down and rest after eating anything. Supper should be eaten just before going to bed. So&ething hearty and substantial, for you have had a wearing day. For your life’s sake do not do any work after supper, but go right to bed and try to get a little rest. If you feel wakeful during the night get up and take a little nourishment. You cannot expect to write with a starved brain. And bear in mind that to the literary man sleep is as essential as food. Eat as much as you sleep. “But,” you say, “all this eating and sleeping does not leave me any time for writing.” “My son, you have the ear-marks of genius. I didn’t think there was so much in you. ” “And newspaper inen ?” you say. Oh,* well, if you want to be a newspaper man you must learn to eat on the run, work eighteen hours a day, and devote the rest of the time to getting rid of your salary. I thought you only wanted to be a journalist or something of that sort.—lioberi J. Burdette, in Brooklyn Eagle.

The Use of the Goat.

The uses of the goat are manifold. I have drank the milk, fresh and sour, in different parts of Asia Minor, eaten of the butter and the cheese made from the cream, and found the diet quite nutritious and agreeable. - And what have I not eaten in Asia Minor? A loin of kid—the goat’s gayoffspring—kid cutlets and kid curry. If there is one luxury greater than another of which carnivorous man is permitted by a bountiful providence to partake it is a roast loin of kid. Lamb and chicken, in their juvenility, do not desire ti> be mentioned the same day with that delicacy. As it is brought hot to table your admiration is divided between the well-browned back and the exquisite mass of fat trembling with excitement and inviting you to eat it while, hot from the spit and before it has ceased to shiver and to wink. A large round of toast is brought in at the same time by the thoughtful serving-man. You forthwith remove the quivering mass and spread it over the toast. A little salt and a slight sprinkling of pepper, and then you have a dish which neither Apicus nor Lucullus, Ude, nor Francatelli ever could have conceived. Quinn, the actor, Foote’s contemporary, and Pope, a Thespian of later times, would have gone to India merely to eat mango-fish and pomfret. No ichthyological gift of nature exceeds their flesh or their flavor. I do notthink anything that might especially gratify the palate would tempt one to make a voyage to any part of the known world, but I would Cheerfully walk a few miles out of London to eat fried eels with anchovy sauce at a roadside inn on the banks of the Thames, or dine at Biackwall or Greenwich in pleasant company when whitebait is in season. Chaucun a son gout!—Washington Corres. Chicago Tribune. ,

Domestic Habits in Alaska.

The Chilcat people loag ago gained for themselves, the reputation of being the most fierce and warlike tribe in the Archipelago. Certain it is that, between themselves and Southern Hydah, there is not another which can compare with them in strength, either in numbers, intelligence, physical perfection, or wealth. A diseased person among the Chilcats is rather the'exception, and prostitution as defined by them is punishable with death. At first their marriage

laws seem very elastic, but such is not the case. Though they do not bind tightly they bind strongly, and the limits Which are fixed are fixed indeed. The children always belong to their mother, and are of her totem. This toteutnc relation is considered closer than that of blood. If the fatter’s and mother’s tribes be at war the children must take the maternal side, even if against their father. It is this law which makes illegal any marriage between members of the same tribe, though the contracting persons may be entire strangers, and unable to trace any blood relation. At the same time a man may marry his half-sister (one having a different mother), or a woman and her daughter—either at the same time or consecutively; for plural marriages are not uncommon, though they are by no means general. In very rare cases a woman has two husbands; oftener we find a man with two wives, even three; but more frequently met than either is the consecutive wife. — Lieut. Schwatka. ' t.

He Had Ears, But Heard Not.

“One day last fall,” said Mockabee, “I was trying to find a man with a peculiar name, who lived on the southern feather-edge of town, where the houses are scattering. I inquired at several places, but nobody could give me any information as to where the man lived. Finally I came upon a carpenter shop, and went in to try my luck there. An old round-shouldered man, with a bristly beard and a watery eye, was planing away at a board, with his back toward me as I entered. I spoke to him, but he went on with his work and didn’t look around. I spoke louder, and then I yelled, but he kept right on slicing off the shavings, and I had to go up and put my hand on his arm before I could attract his attention. “ ‘Do you know a man in this neighborhood by the name of Heiracker?’ says I. “The old man reached under his bench and pulled out a rough wood box, about six inches square and some three feet long, with five or six feet of rubber hose attached to it. He turned the box upside down and shook out a lot of shavings and sawdust, and then he set it on the floor, and, putting the end of the hose to his ear, he sat down on a trussle to have a comfortable chat, as I thought, looked up as bland as a young girl with her first beau, and, pointing to the concern, he said: “ ‘You talk in the box; you talk in the box.’ “I put my face into the top of the contrivance and yelled with all the power in me: “ ‘Do you know a man by the name Of H-e-l-racker?” “The old man dropped the hose as though it had instantly become red-hot, and gavd me an injured, ruffled sort of a look for as much as fifteen seconds, and then he said, with a voice that seemed to snap every word in two and pieces at me, as he picked up his plane again: “‘I don’t believe in a hell, and I’m down on any man that upholds the doctrine.’ “I motioned to him to try it again, and then I braced my feet, filled up my lungs, and determined to get a little air through his skull this time, or burst a blood vessel. “ ‘Do you know a man by the name of Hel-r-a-c-k-e-r ?’ I shouted. “The old fossil’s face relaxed with a quizzical grin that came tout and drove away the indignant look of a moment before, as he pulled out a plug of tobacco and passed it over to me, saying: “ ‘lt’s nothing extra, but the best I’ve got. Blamed if I didn’t think you was a track peddler. Fine day, ain’t it? Eh ?’. And back went the hose to his ear again. “Once more I braced myself and fired in a yell that made the dust fly: “ ‘Your box don’t work right. What’s the matter ?’ “Again he dropped the hose instantly, pulled up his pantaloons and showed me a sore on his leg. “ ‘The end of a j’ist fell on it more’n two months ago,’ said the old mudsill, with much impressiveness. ‘An’ I guess, by the way it keeps getherin’ an’ goin’ from bad to wus, some of the bones was shivered. Eh ? Hurt ? Well, you’re snortin’; hurts like all gosh, an’ some nights I jest can’t sleep a wink. Eh?’ And again he clapped the hose to the side of his head. “I knew it was a waste of breath, but I was fool enough to try it again, and with every muscle at a high tension I squared myself, buried my face in the box, pulled my coat around close to stop the cracks, and gave him a blast that sounded like muffled thunder and seemed to shake the building: “ ‘ It’s no use. You couldn’t hear an artillery salvo.’ “ ‘ Yes, yes; certainly. I’ll show it to you. I forgot all about it’ And I hope to be scorched if the old fool didn’t go down into his tool chest and dig out a box of salve that he used on his sore leg, and then he' took off the lid, smelled of it, held it under my nose, and told me all about how it was tnade. I couldn’t stand any more, and left in a hurry. As I started off he came to the door and hollered after me to drop in any time; that it was a real pleasure to chat with a sociable person who could make him hear, and took so much interest in his lameness. There’s one of two things certain. His ears had either grown up entirely, or else he didn’t get more than about half the sawdust out of that box, for I know I yelled loud enough to explode dynamite. ” Chicago Ledger.

Not His Practice.

Recently a ranting Chicago Communist gathered a crowd and entertained them with his diatribes on the inequalities of riches and poverty. He was in the midst of his fiery declarations that the capital of the rich belonged to the laboring classes, when a clear Voice arose from the crowd: “You’ve got a gold watch, and I haven’t ahy. I want yours." The speaker was nonplused. Recovering, himself, however .he said: “I bought this watch and paid for it " “Don’t make axjy' difference,” persisted the voice, “you’ve got a gold watch, and I haven’t—l want it!" The talker was checkmated, and the meeting broke up. . - ;

The Increase of Insanity.

Boston supports 803 Insane, says Mr. T. B. Sanborn, not 75 of whom will recover. This Is frightful. Insanity has increased forty per cent, in a decade, and most of the cases are incurable. Whatever the,individual cause may be, the fact remains-that Uric Acid blood sets the brain on fire, destroys its tissues, and then comes some form of fatal lunacy. ■ Nothing is so pitiable as a mind diseased. Most brain troubles begin in the stomach; then if the blood is filled with uric acid, caused by failure of kidney action, and the consequent destruction of the blood 'life —albumen—you have the fuel and the flame and a brain in full blaze, as when one raves, or in slow combustion, as in milder forms of insanity. Bev. E. D. Hopkins, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., a few years ago was confined in an asylum. He took a terrible cold while aiding in putting out a fire in a neighbor’s burning house, and for twenty-five years that cold was slowly filling his blood with uric acid, and finally the deadly work was done. The case looked hopeless, but he happily used Warner’s safe euro and recovered. That was three years ago, and having ridden his blood of all surplus uric acid, he has remained well until this day. It is indeed a terrible thing to lose one’s mind, but it is a more terrible thing to suffer such a condition when it can be so easily prevented.

The Awful Life of East Indian Widows.

A Hindoo lady has sent a striking contribution to the Times of India. She takes enforced widowhood as her theme, and writes strongly and bitterly of what she describes as the brutalized human nature that could lose sight of the difference between a child widow of six and a matron widow of sixty, and provide for the innocent mite that life of long misery which is the invariable lot of the Hindoo widow. She tells how directly after the husband’s death the widow’s hair is cut off and her ornaments are taken away; how she must thenceforth wear the coarsest clothes and eat the most unsavtory food. Her presence is shunned, and she becomes the leper of society, doomed to pass her life in seclusion. She is not allowed to mix freely with her people. If she unwillingly intrudes on any occasion of festivity the company curse her presence and regard it as of evil omen. The menial work of the family becomes her lot as a matter of course. . “Suppose,” asks the Hindoo lady, “it had been enacted that when a man. lost his wife he should continue celibate, live on coarse fare, be tabooed in society, wear mourning weeds for the remainder of his life, and practice neverending austerities, would not my countrymen have long since revolted against such inhuman treatment ?” She goes on to give a striking illustration of the venerable head of a Hindoo family sending out his creatures to hunt down a girl of ten io bless his remaining years, and then, turning to his widowed grand-daughter of fifteen, and telling her that her widowhood is a punishment for the loss of her husband, which can only be expiated by a life of austerity, devotion, and purity. —London Times.

Making Matches.

Nearly all the operations of matchmaking are now carried on by machinery. The wood is first sawed into blocks of uniform length, usually one and a half inches long, or the length of the match. These blocks are then fed into the cutting-machine, which cuts twelve matches at every stroke. To make round matches, the wood is forced through perforatians in metal plates. The splints are then pushed into slats arranged on a double chain 250 feet long. On this they are carried to the sulphur vat, dipped therein by a mechanical movement, and then in the same manner to the phosphorus vat and dipped. Machines are also used for making the boxes and packing the splints therein. As the consumption of matches is most enormous—being estimated at six a day for every man, woman, and child in Europe and North America—they form an important article of commerce, and the invention of machinery for their manufacture has proved Of great advantage. But the especial valvCe of machinery is that it has so largely reduced the mortality caused by working over the phosphorus. This substance, when heated, throws off fumes which cannot be continuously breathed without causing disease. .In large factories' 144,000 small boxes of matches are often made and packed ready for shipping in a single day.— lnter Ocean.

Changes in the Sun and Moon.

The apparent enlargement of the planets which give us most of our light has been explained in various ways, but experiments recently made by M. Stroobant, in Belgium, indicate that the cause of the phenomenon is a physiological one. In a darkened room M. Stroobant had fixed to the ceiling two electric stars about eight inches apart, and on the level of his eye two similar stars, the distance between which could be varied at pleasure, while the observer’s eyes were at an equal distance from either pair. When the pair of stars on- the level of his eye were so adjusted as to appear at the same distance as the pair in the ceiling, they were proved on measurement to be only six and one-half inches apart. He then transferred his observations to the actual stars, selecting pairs at sensibly equal distances apart in the horizon and in the zenith, and afterward measuring their real angular separation as marked on the celestial globe. The apparent separation of the stars in the horizon was increased in almost precisely the same degree, the ratio of the real distances, which seemed to the eye to be the same, being as 100 in the zenith to from 79.5 to 81.5 in the horizon.

Too Many Fires.

It seems from the New York Commercial Bulletin that property to the tune of $105,000,000 a year is being destroyed by fire in the United States. This is simply monstrous. , One hundred million a year represents the earnings of a nation, and yet it seems we wipe it out of existence in each year. Surely there must be something wrong in this. Can it be that the crime of arson is on the increase? - Men’s Hearts.—An old maid suggests that when men break their hearts it is the same as when a lobster breaks one of his claws—another sprouts immediately and grows in its place. Life is a stormy and dangerous voyage. The vessel we start in—our cradle —is childhood’s first rock.

Cause for Rejoicing.

Cincinnati.—The Times-Star says:'“A remarkable discovery made last winter is attracting widespread interest. As it involves a most important question, that of public health, it is being discussed by eminent physicians and pnblich men. It is shown conclusively that throat and lung troubles can be cured without resorting to the use of morphia or opium—especially dangerous in the case of children, as arresting development and poisoning the system. ” The Governor of Maryland and all the officials ol that State indorse the remedy; the State chemist of Delaware pronounces it the purest and most effective, and hospitals and charitable institutions in Piladelphia and other cities use it with remarkable results. The remedy, which is only twenty-five a bottle, is Red Star Cough Cure. It is purely vegetable; it contains no poison or narcotics, and is a positive cur<?.

Shrewd Mrs. Penuckle.

“I didn’t always barrow the earth for a living,” said Farmer Penuckle, of Orange County. “I was once a wine merchant’s clerk in Brooklyn. I married young, and my wife, who is sitting there now, with the reputation of being as good a farmer’s wife as there is in the county, made just as good a mate for a hard-up clerk then. Like many young couples we had bought furniture on installments, and we were not able to pay all the sums as they fell due. Everything seemed to be going against us, and our little girl was sick, when I came home early one Saturday afternoon and found crape hanging* to my doorbell. My heart was in my mouth and my tears choked me as I met my wife. “ ‘So dear little Minnie is gone!’ I said. “‘Minnie 1 gone!’ said my wife. ‘Oh, no. But the Sheriff’s man will be round in a minute to seize the furniture, and I thought the crape might check him.’ “It checked him. He halted his wagon a dozen yards away, walked on tip-toe to the door, examined the crape, and went softly away, afraid, apparently, that some one might hear him. Minnie recovered; and a few days afterward I scraped together enough money to pay the bill, but I haven’t bought on installments since.”— hew York Sun.

Errors in the Revised Bible.

It is stated that there have been discovered, up to the present, only three printers’ errors in all the English editions of the Revised Bible, and these are of a most obvious description. Ft may not be generally known that any person discovering a printer’s error in an Oxford Bible will be paid a guinea on communicating the fact to the controller of the press, provided that the error has not been discovered before. —Literary World.
