DOES WRITING PAY?

TWO PROPOSITIONS THAT ARE WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.

literary Work Pay* If One Know* How to Wriio a»l What to Write—Jewels at Rhetoric Xot Wanted —Oar "Popular*'

Writer*—Wage*.

This questioa I recently pes to an old friend who has successfully followed the profession of literature through ninny a year of storm and stress. I say "followed," because, in bis wooing, be persistently ran after the fair and fickle dome ere be won ber hand and bcr dowry. Happily, he is well mated, and has been married almost long enough to have a silver wedding. The answer I received may be tersely trammed op thus "Writing pays if you know how to writo and what to write." Now, the two propositions contained in this answer are worthy of brief consideration.

First, bow to write: Tho young writer usually starts out, I think, possessed with the one idea to get what he calls a stylo I He expects to mako writing pay by the mere elegance of jeweled words, high sounding epithets and well balanced periods. Thus, many a promising writer has found himself wrecked, at the outset of his literary venture, on his style. Plainly speaking, writing for style does not pay. For, remember that there are too many literary lapidaries who can cut, set and polish the jewels of rhetoric with more subtle skill than yourself. Thousands of manuscripts have been "returned with thanks," with whose form and expression the most exacting editor could not find fault Indeed, many an editor has confessed that it was with a deep sigh that he tossed tho beautiful thing into tbo wasto paper basket Again, what boots it to gild one's writing with pretty colors, if the covering be only brawl

Secondly—The writer who expects to make writing pay must know what to write. He should bo qi to sec what people are willing and ready lb read and what editors are ready and willing to pay for. I sometimes think that many of our "popular" writers have been not unlike tbo spies sent out by Joshua to explore the land of tho Philistines. These writers return and report strange tales of giants or givo rumors of the mysterious Queen "8he-who-must-bo-obeyed"—and tho peoplo listen to them. Indeed, the Philistines ore really a queer sot at the best. They call for edition after edition of "Ouida's" writings, because they want to read about red headed Circes who lure husbands to their ruin. They want to learn, on tho other band, how "good goody" peoplo talk and make love, so they ask for 40,000 and 60,000 each of the late EL P. Roc's novels. They all read Ho wells, because they want the minute descriptions of my lady's wardrobe and of tempests in teapots. They all take James, because thoy want tho vivisection of butterflies and tho spicy talk of aristocracy. They want detectivo stories from the newspapers, so they ask at the libraries for Charles Itaade if it is a "fifteen" puzzle they want they ask for tho author of "The Lady or the Tigerf" Thoy often do not know what they want, so thoy tako to some "oeophy," "ology," or else to tho woods.

Again, tbo writer who wants to mako his writing pay must take his wares to tho right market Writing, it is said, is, In the eyes of nearly all editors, a commercial speculation. They only buy what they think the peoplo will read. Hence, writers find that what will not suit one will suit another. What should wo think of the farmer who took his eggs to the butcher, and his meat to tho grocerf Is it any wonder, then, that writers go around knocking at tho editorial gates, vainly seeking admissionf Of courso there will always bo hundreds of poor Casaubons with their "keys to all mythologies," which nobody wants. Tho plain truth is that thero nro other requisites beside literary merit essential in making writing pay. In other words, like philosophy, writing for tho wrong market bakes no breed.

Now, there area great many markets for the right kind of writing. Whether as rev porter, correspondent, or am special writer,' tho roward is in proportion to tho merit displayed. The reporter would think that witin did not pay if he earned less thau 'Jo a week. So, too, would tho correspondent consider hituself ill paid at less than double that amount Tho amount offered by journals and tnagntines varies greatly according to tho standing and name of the writer and tl-.j interest and merit of his •rticlo. As l.tgh as been given for a special contribution, while tho ordinary price will bo from $10 to $15 a page. Tho newspapers pav by tho column, which usually contains 1,6words. Their price is, on the nvera30, 80 to $8 a lumn for ••spaco" work.

Tho literary "syudieatos" can of coarse afford to pay ruoro than one journal, as they rvtail the writing out to a doten different paper*, for which each pays its share. One syndicate when it started paid several thousand dollars each to leading writers of fiction for one story. At present tho demand for good novels and novelettes seems to bo insatiable, and the writer who can supply tho demand will nuke his writing pay. I know one writer who can spin off a story as easily aa the traditionary fisherman can reel off a "yarn." I should inu.rt© thai his writing paid, for ho says that onever ho wants or covets something he sits down and writes tor It I know another who has mado a good many hundred dollars each year by putting advertisements in a "taking" way. Yet writing ts an honest vocation, as long as the writer does not lie or foster Inso passiona. Still, doea writing pay#—-L. J. Vance in The Epoch.

I raw in a tailor's shop the other day a sensible enough looking man of about 40 year*, who was greatly distressed over an imaginary wrinkle in the back of a coat he was trying on, and he "was so afrakr that (he trousers were "tho sixteenth of an inch too long."

NOT YET OVERCROWDED.

The Eartli Should Not Be Called Overpopulated—Resources.

In a recent report of. the German statistical bureau, the director expresses the opinion that population has not overcrowded any part of the empire, and that its resources, properly husbanded, are adequate to the support of an enormous addition to Germany's 45,000,000 people. It is inaccurate to say that any part of Europe is overpopulated. When tbo most of Germany was a succession of barren plains, and a large part of Holland was under water, those countries could have supported only a small part of the people who now inhabit them. It would have been a case, however, not of excessive population, but almost wholly undeveloped resources. So long as human ingenuity can add to the productiveness of a country it should not be called overpopulated.

Mr. Cadell of the Geological Survey of Scotland has recently shown that while the British public complain of overpopulation, and look with favor upon schemes of state aided emigration, a vast deal can yet be done to enrich soils, reclaim waste lands, develop new industries and improve methods of husbandry, all of which would add greatly to the resources of their little corner of the lobo and enlarge its capacity for supporting ts teeming population in comfort The Dutch arc still reclaiming from tho sea an average of 2,500 acres a year, and Holland's resources are moro than keeping pace with its increase of population. Though there ore 843 peoplo to the square mile, the Dutch live in comfort and few emigrate.

China proper has oniy a little over onethird of our area, though ber population is six times as great as ours and yet, though the industrial knowledge of the Chinese is in man}* respects extremely primitive, China is far from being overpopulated. The Chinese treat their fields like gardens, gather fertilizers from every conceivable source, sow their grain in furrows, and hoe it as we do corn, wasting nothing in the processes of sowing and harvesting. Give the Chinese modern agricultural implements, enlarge their scientific and technical knowledge, and with their consummate painstaking a still greater population may livo within their borders.

It gives us a vivid sense of the grandeur of our own country when wo reflect that we havocs yet merely scratched the surface of its inexhaustible resources, and that hundreds of millions may live hero in comfort.—New York Sun.

Nature and Treatment

of Felons. ,i

The so called felon is on acute inflammation of the sheaths of the tendons or of the coverings of the bone. It is accompanied with very severe throbbing pain, great tenderness, and often much constitutional disturbance, as indicated by fever and rapid pulse. This affection is not only very distressing, but is also attended with some danger. In persons debilitated and sickly, death has been known to result from poisonous absorption. Tho skin covering the Angers is very thick, so also are the deeper coverings, especially that which envelops the bone. When pits forms, it finds an opening upward difficult, and, therefore, burrows back toward the hand. As tho inflammation extends, the danger becomes intensified. The abscess, if not checked, sometimes proceeds up tho wrist, and evon to the elbow. In tho meantimo the sufferings ore terrible, the parts are enormously swollen, and the skin seems bursting. If a knife is not used to mako free incisions along tho track of the disease, therms will probably at last struggle to the skin and discharge itself but before doing so tho muscles will be broken down, honeycombed, and, to a considerable 'extent, destroyed. Partial death of the affected bono is not uncommon.

A felon is easily recognised none are so ignorant they cannot detect it in the early stage. While yot confined to the ond of the finger, if it appears there, tho sufferer, without waiting to test the efficacy cf his neighbor's whims, and tho virtues of ".rare cures," should at onco place himself in tho care of a physician. If ho is comietcnt, tho fact will bo readily apparent, for ho will, even before thero is much swelling, insist upon opening the abscess without delay. If the physician urges this treatment, and the patient through fear of tho knife declines, then the latter assumes all responsibility, and for what may happen subsequently can blame no one but himself. If, on tho other hand, tho medical attendant does not insist upon making an opening to admit of a free discharge of pus which may havo formed, or which there is reason to believe will form, then he is liable for any misfortune dependent on tho burrowing of the pus for ho has clearly and unmistakably failed, through ignorance or neglect, to jierform his duty to his patientJournal of Health.

Before a Chicago ^uonuaa.

The panorama was a revelation to Chicago. Nobody could understand it, and the explanations of the imaginary causes producing the startling effect were often extremely ludicrous. It looks liko "all out doors." Said one of the first vistiors: "I can understand how you can have these aoldlers painted, and the landscape, ut what puzzles me is how you make the It Escape fit the sky." He had noticed tho shifting effects of natural sunlight on canvas, and had no doubt that he was ng at the real sky.

One night at the dosing hour two rough looking but *1 dressed men swaggered up to tho box 0.1— and called for tickets. "Too late," said the manager 'Vorao to-morrow. The lecturer has gone homo." With kindly oaths and quaint persuasion they gained admission, however. Tho instant they reached the platform their hats came off and their nM-ri sank to whispers.

LEARNING TO THLXK.

PLAIN LIVING AND HIGH THINKING" FOR THE FAIR SEX.

A Woman's Ideas Concerning the Development o! Mind and Character—A Whole Sermon in Brief—When the Millennium May Be Expected. .x'-jj

"Plain living and high thinking." That was Emerson's motto, wasn't it How many women realixo that the}* exactly reverse this motto or, worse yet, make it, "High living and no thinkingP" Of course, I mean "thinking" real thought upon the serious affairs of tho day, the duties of women women, the development of mind tmd character, both in themselves and their children.

As society is composed of men and women, women's thought and character are valuable to it and they are valuable to it, in any broad sense,,in exact proportion as they are distinctively womanly. Let women train themselves, then, to -grow up into tho full stature cf womanhood. The exigencies of life demand that die be trained to stand, on all vital questions and lessons of humanity, firm, self poised and self supporting. How shall a woman do this if her whole force of mind bo given to getting herself up in the latest approved mode, if loco hats are to her thinking of far greater interest than the tariff question,' if tho matter of Amercan public schools and tho issues deriving from them stand second to the question whether bustles are really going out of style, if new books arid healthful reading must bo dispensed with in order to get something to wear, which very likely is not needed and whose only raison d'etre is that "they" are all wearing it, if keeping tho hands white and soft and doing them up in all sorts of pastes and lotions for hours ovcry day is of moro consequence than employing them in some form of honest labor which shall help somebody or something and tend to brighten up somo corner of tho world generally.

Now, a woman need not bo a guy. woman who thinks and reads and talks intelligently need not, of necessity, transform herself—Jby negligence, perhaps—into that lightly esteemed personage commonly designated as a "frump." She may consider what is becoming to hor style of beauty—or lack of it, and keeping within the bounds of fashion—not way behind it—dress within her means, and still have tirno to read and think Moro than that, she may plan and mako her own wardrobe without hiving hor mind entirely absorbod in it or do her own housework, if need be, and not bo entirely given over to the cares of tho world or the dust of housekeeping.

So many women aro straining for a plane of high living which they cannot afford, have known women who would deny themselves the comforts of Jifo in order to havo the showy luxuries. Thero is or homo not ten miles from Boston which is over 150 years old. It is filled with old furniture, quaint dovices, and tho air of old associations. A Commonwealth avenue lady visited it recently and went into raptures over it On coming away sho said: "Now, come and see mo soon. I have an elegant house and quantities of expensive things. But I can'i show you anything like your own house. Mine is a display of the most elegant upholsterer's wares in tho city, but that is all."

There was a whole sermon in the lady's modest disclaimer. And if the woman who cannot afford rich furnituro would remember that her house, with its plain, unpretentious furnishings, but bright, social, "homey" air, is infinitely moro preferable to her neigh bor's costly stiff plash chairs, velvet carpets and lack of refinement, she would bo much happier, and stop contriving how she may securo thoso things. And if sho would bo content with becoming, lady liko, inexpensive clothes, when she can't afford better, and spend an occasional dollar on somo book that is really worth one's whilo, sho would bo not only happier but wiser.

It is important, so long as women continue to be, as is everywhere conceded, tho "finer portion of humanity," that they make themselves attractive, but that is a term and a quality that pertains to the mind as well as to tbo body. Women should remember that and "with all their getting, get wisdom." When tho average woman comes to believe that an unformed mind is as^much a blemish as a muddy complexion that lack of tosto in good literaturo is as much a deficiency as the absence of half a dozen evening dresses in tho wardrobe that ignorance of the world's progress is more deplorable than freckles, or a figure which is not an exact model of a dressmaker's "form that tho attitude sho takes on tho topics of tho time and tho training of her children is of infinitely more consequence than "parlor sete" and lace bed hangings, then she will know what to do with the ballot when sho gets is.

And then the millennium may be expected. —Helen M. Winalow in Boetoh Globe.

A Train Worth Hiding On.

There is ono train on the Central read, however, which, though his heart has yearned to ride on, has never taken Chauncey M. Depew. That is a mysterious train. Its coming and going no man knows except tho superintendent It flits hither and t&ither like a specter. One day it is in Buffalo and the next in tho remote and desolate corner of the state where Chatham lies. You will it moving mysteriously out of the yard in the dawn and at noon the telegraph reports it at Niagara Falls. All trains on the road givo it precedence, it picks its way in and oat between other trains during the day and at night flashes hero and there like a firefly of a summer evening. It goes as if the speed of thought were in its limbs, and its mysterious pauaaugers dart thus about in no sportive humor, but with great cares upon their shoulders, great pistols in their pockets, and the keys to stool safes in their possession.

This mysterious train is the pay car of the great Central systems It has had mare narrow escapcs than any train on tho road. It makes it own time table, and it goes between stations sometimes with a rapidity which the old Commodore never experienced. The engineer has tbo brain of a mathematician, and the mysteries of a thousand local time tables ore as claar to him as logarithms to Professor Newcomb. Tbo paymasters keep ooe ear. pen for the dire tooting of the signal of danger, and when it comes they brace their foet against anything which will steady tbsm and await a shock, *:v Mtitnesthey get it One* fr threw the ckrks the whole length of tb ir. as though they had been shot from a catin «.aad they wondered if they were alive.

Sanitary Kegjistace In Italy.

Not only among the lower classcs does one find au absolute disregard for all sanitary laws, huge underground receptacles which fill the buildings above with norious and poisonous gases being in universal use. Care is not often considered necessary, but when it becomes imperative the contents of these infamous reservoirs are pumped into carts to be taken away, the pipes passing through the rooms and hallways as the only means of access. After the terrible cholera scourge in 1SS4 tho parliament voted Naples 100,000,000 lire as a subsidy to enable the city to take hygienic precautions against a second visitation, but the money is being used for purposes of embellishment, and as yet nothing has been done toward improving its sanitary condition.

The whole nation looks stunted in sise, and as though vitiated through and through by an inheritance of loathsome disorders. In one day in the streets of any Italian city one can see a greater variety of disgusting deformities than in ten yean in Chicago, not to take into account the sore eyes with which the lower orders seem universally afflicted. The streets are nicely paved and well swept, but are full of offensive sights and vile odors, no regard for public decency being apparent One may look in vain throughout the length and breadth of this beautiful peninsula for a single spot wherein can be found that "cleanliness which is akin to godliness," and equally vain will be his search for anything approaching honesty or fair dealing.

Cremation of City Garbage.

The terrible poisoning of rivers and streams, by dumping into them the garbage of cities and large towns, has becoino so se rious that somo device is sought to avoid the danger, and tho need of incurring tho danger. Several European cities have carried sewerage and garbage to public fields, to bo utilized on a systematic plan. Tho latest device is to cremate the garbage in furnaces specially constructed for that purpose, Chicago has inaugurated the plan from diro necessity. England has largely put the plan into practice, and is well satisfied. Forty-five English towns are already using furnaces. Tho Chicago furnace disposes of fifty tons a day. Dr. J. M. Keating, of Memphis, says: "There is no real safety but by cremation and he is sure that Yankee ingenuity, now on the right track, will furnish tho best and cheapest furnace. It is evident to casual observers that our streams must not any longer suffer pollution. Epidemics of the worst sort may be eipectcd from such a source.—Globe-Dem-ocrat
