£NGLfSHMEN WROTE THE THREE BEST SELLING CURRENT STORIES.

(nlw Race Bebraen Hope, Doyle Wt7in#n—Doyle a Poet—Memof Sir John E. Mlllate—English it uu American Book Markets Compared. [Special Correspondence.]

New York, March 21.-—The three best selling ltovele published in fcbia country since Feb. 1 were all the work of English writers—"Shrewsbury," by Stanley J. Weytvan^ "Simon Dale, "by Anthony Hope, and "A Desert Drama," by A. Conan Doyle. "Sbrewsbary" was broagbt out first. It had a clear two weeks start of the two others, which came out practically together. It sow appears likely that Mr. Hope's book will prove to be the best seller of the lot in the United States in spite of his rather curious criticism of American women to the effect that they ask too many questions.

Both the other books are going pretty well, however, "A Desert Drama" being second and "Shrewsbury" last. It is part of tbe current publishers* gossip, by the way, tbat Dr. Doyle is getting ready to give another proof of his versatility by turning vesifier, that the manuscript of his first poetical volume is now ready for tbe typesetters and that the book will be got out in time for the fall trade. Some who have read tbe work say it has the true poetio fire and that several of the pieces are Kiplhigesque in choice of subject. Should this effort succeed, Dr. Doyle-will have won tbree distinct classes of admirers, since it is no more likely tbat his verses will appeal to the same readers that have liked bis historical novels than tbat these should entirely please the folk who doted on his Sherlock Holmes tales.

Prompted in some degree no doubt by the success of the Tennyson memoirs, tbe heirs of Sir John E. Millais are getting together a book consisting of such interesting letters from his pen as have been found accessible, epistles to him from eminent personages and others and hope to have it published by next fall. There is as yit some uncertainty, however, as to the publishers, since the heirs decline to have tbe book got out on royalty and are asking rising of £40,000 for the combined English and American copyrights. This sum is so large as to make publishers look a trifle askance, especially in tbis country, though it would not be too much to pay were it at all probable that the sale would bo equal to that of the Tennyson book, which is, in fact, supposed^ to have prodncod a much larger net sum than $40,000 and to have been one of tbe great successes of the year from tbe profit making point of view. At least 10,000 oopies were sold in America alone, and that means a handsome surplus over cost of production when a book is as high priced as the Tennyson memoirs.

In England the sale was naturally even larger than in this oountry, and there is no doubt that tbe Millais book will sell uiuoh better there, where Sir John was very much more of a living entity in the minds of the people than here. In the United States those to whom he was anything more than a name are comparatively few in number, and, while the book will doubtless be highly prized by them, thousands will pass it by unnoticed who hastened to buy the other. Had the Tennyson book beeu sold at $1 instead of $10 the American sale would doubtless have beeu much nearer 100,000 than 10,000 and might even have exceeded the larger number, for Tennyson's American admirers are numbered by the millions, of oourse.

Speaking 6f the differing degrees' of favor with which certain books are received in America and Eugland, it may bo noted that publishers are every year becoming more and more unable-to gauge in advance the sale of a book in the one country from its sale in tbe other. This naturally adds an elemeut of risk to the publishing business which all concerned would be glad to get rid of, though it may properly be considered a source of national pride in that as a people we are beginning to have our own notions as to what we like to read. Perhaps the latest instances of success on tbo other side and comparative failure here are furnished by S. E. Crockett's "Sir Tody Lyou" and "The School For Saints" by John Oliver Hobbes (Mrs. Craigie). "Sir Tody Lyon" is a child's book written in much the same vein as th« same author's "Sweetheart Travelers," which sold exceedingly well in this country a year or two ago. Yet while the sale of "Sir Tody Lyon in England aggregated 80,000 inside of six weeks after publication its sale here has been too small for serious comparison, to the great disappointment of the American publishers. Of "The School For Saints" it is said tbat its transatlantic success has been such as to make Mrs. Craigie the most talked of woman in England today, while here the demand has not yet been big euougb to make the publishers rich by any moans. There is an explanation for this, however. Although Mrs. Craigie is an American, as most readers probably remember, she is a leader in fashionable London society, wad her books have long been in demand among its devotees.

Perhaps the most striking instance of the sort trader consideration is that of "Quo Vadis," which everybody on this side i* reading and talking about, while mi the other side vhe book has fallen practically Oat. Osborj*Spescer.

The Ide* la to Get "8o«rthlf Little Different." [Special Correspondence.

New Yobk, March

21.—Just

plaid piques we find great Windsor tieir in the wildest plaids. Some of these ties area quarter of a yard wide. They are in silk, satin and thin stuffs.

Besides tbe plaids for blouses, skirts, vests, ties and almost every other article one finds abundance of fine ohecks in different sizes from pinhead to checkerboard. The parasols are also of plaid and arranged so tbat part of the figure runs up and tbe other across. In two or three of tbe new parasols I saw a plain silk ground with wedges of plaid set in so that tbe top of the parasol looked like a star over the plaid. Some of them are more ingenious than pretty.

There are so many new small things that one can scarcely keep traok of them, but I find speoial mention iu my notebook of tbe following things: There are very dainty shirt waists of batiste with yokes, bands and other trimmings of fine embroidery, generally very open work. Thirf taffeta shirt waists are tuoked horizontally in dozens of clustered tucks, tbe whole starting from a garibaldi strap on the shoulder. Chiffon waists made over light silk are still the daintiest of all such garments, and tbey are puffed, shirred and gauffered until almost an endless amount of that filmy stuff is used. Chiffon ties are made in an incredible variety,fthe daintiest being self trimmed, thodgh some of those edged with lace are exceedingly pretty. There are ties of dotted net with lace ends and some white ties with black or red lace edging. Many of tbe prettiest of the cotton shirt v^aists are made of chambray for the baok and sleeves, while the full front, belt, cuffs and oollar are of bias plaid. All tbe ginghams may be treated this way, or they oan have all of the garment except tbe neokband and full front cut on the straight. For golfing there is a line of exquisite Sootch plaid twill. This makes beautiful waistB, light and porous, yet so rioh and perfect that he who runs may read its value. The colorings in these goods are beautifully chosen and blended.

For very dressy blouse waists for young ladies for evening a pretty design is to have a regular

,#baby"

shape, only

drooping a little down tbe front. It may be of very light silk or batiste. The sleeves are short puffs with narrow bands. These are arranged so that one waist will suffioe for as many skirts as one desires. Tbe belts are different according to tbe stylo of the skirt. It is the trimming around tbe neck tbat gives the distinction.' There are to be purchased low bertha pieces of the new imitatiou brussels lace, and these are

DAIXTT TRIFLES.

tacked around the neck, one point always flailing in front and two over tbe sleeves. There are also beaded fringe trimmings looped from a beaded band more or less elaborate. Some of these are jet, bnt for .^oung ladies pearl fringes and beaded bands are considered the most sdtable.

Plastron collars and vest fronts are to be purchased ready made. One pretty fancy had a full front of plaid grenadine, with revers in front and sailor back made of light green faille edged with handsome point de gene lace. Tbe collar was of folded faille, with a raffle above Of the grenadine plaited. This could be worn over almost anf dress, A dainty design in collars bad vandyked white armure points edged with a full ruffle of oriental lace, left to fall in natural folds and a Jabot in front Another useful thing is a boa made of shirred black silk muslin. It is always a dainty thing with any kind of costume. A muff to match it sot half a bad ide*. One oan do many things with a muff. Heart shaped jewels are still favoritea.

•"There'* .another wkr on between Closer «nd iPinehem." *r •"No? What'S 'the matter this time?'' "Of oourse you know they hate each other. Been 'rivals in business and society for years. Long ago both wanted to marry the same girl, and neither got bar. Each blames 'the other for that. Mention -Closer to*- .Pinchem and he wants to fight Mention Pinchem to Closer and he'll swfear in the richest vocabulary a profane man ever accumulated. "Deacon Worthy was the occasion of the most recent rupture. He was raising money for some good purpose and went to Closer, who headed tbe list with $800 under a positive agreement that $200 of the amount was to be immediately handed hack to him. When the deacon went to Pinchem, there were red splotches on the moon. He denounced Closer as a miser and, a shark. The idea of his having subscribed but $300 to such a cause was disgraceful. Pinchem put down $500 and generously told tbe deacon to call on him if more were needed..

When Closer saw the list again, he was tickled into a coughing fit and had word conveyed to Pinchem of «his agreement with tbe deacon. They thought for a time tbat tbey'd have to put Pinohem in a strait jacket. The names he called Closer would keep a stenographer busy for a week.: They reached Closer, and now there is to be a slander suit. Each has vowed to whip the other on sight, and it is better tban a circus to see how tbey dodge each other in their daily walks. The deacon only smiles while he deplores tbe fact that any bad feeling was created. "—Detroit Free Press. ... •,,,

A Few Requisites.

The hired girl out of a -job cast her eagle eye over the want notices of tbe newspaper. "Wanted, Wanted, Wanted," she read in one or two line ads straight down tbe column, shaking her head at intervals as if disappointed in her search. Finally her face lightened as she saw a leaded notice in another column of more pretensions than its fellows.

She turned to it and read eagerly. Then she threw the paper from her. "What's tbe matter?" asked the girl with her. "Read that." And she gathered up the sheet and banded it over to the other one, who read this notice: "Wanted—A young and strong woman of good disposition and habits, obedient and knowing ber place, willing and ready, aotive and efficient, to cook, wash and iron, do general housework and take care of children. Evenings and afternoons off when possible. Apply, with references, etc." "Well?" said the reader. "It's not well at all," responded the one looking for work. "That man, whoever he is, is advertising for a wife, I should say from the advertisement, and I'm not looking for that kind of a job. Just a plain hired girl's place is good enough for me.

V..V He'd Better Trade Her Off.

There is a certain Yorkshire man who has won considerable fame and some wealth as an expert handler of horses. He is also the possessor of a pleasant home, a" charming wife aud a bright 8-year-old boy.

The latter is the deligbt of his father's heart, and the little fellow not only knows lots of horse talk, but takes a keen delighttin a mild attempt at holding the reins over a fast gee.

One day riotTong ago his"Father came' home in a hurry and found tbe luncheon wasn't ready. """WIiaF do* you think of that," my small man?" he cried laughingly as he tossed tbe 3-year-old in the air. "Here's papa come home in a terrible hurry and no luncheon ready. What ought we to do with such a terrible mam urn?"

Too Joyful.

The JNew Orleans Times-Democrat says that a woman with hcjr colored maid was recently traveling qn a train. When the train started, the girl appeared to be inf a fever of excitement. The conductor, the plush seats of tbe car, the sights from the window—everything was of absorbing interest. To tbe surprise of her mistress, Sallie, when food was offered her, refused to eat. An honr or two went by, and a sandwich was again offered to her, bnt she still refused. "What is the matter, Sallie?" asked her mistress. "Are you sick?" Tbe girl rolled up her eyes ecstatically. "Oh, no, missus," she answered, "I ain't sick but 1 can't eat when I'm trabbeling! It's too joyful like!"

Sponges*

.. Fine sponges am used by physicians in surgical opera', jnsand are sometimes very expensive. Jur finest sponges oome from the Mediterranean sea and the Red sea. Tbey are obtained by divers, who search for them nnder rocks and cliffs, and who remove them carefully with a knife, that they may not be injured. The Turks, who carry on the trade, have between 4,000 and 5,000 men employed in collecting sponges. The value of the sponges annually collected is estimated at $90,000. Coarse varieties are found in the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahama islands. They are scraped off tbe rocks with forked instruments, and consequently they ace often torn.

In England more than 10,000,000 oil Mun~« are used nightly. Tbey cause 800 deatud annually, and in London alone 165 fires in a year have been traced to them.

la Man.

Megamicros, as we shall call our main •f the earth transported in his sleep to the new Mars, wakes up, opens his eyes sind finds himself in bed in his room. All the things in it are tamiliar to him—the furniture, clothes, books and wares axe just where he had left them overnight. He does not suspect the trick that has been played on him. He stretches himself, throws up his prms, leaps from his bed, goes to Jhe wasbstand, lifts the pitcher, puts on his clothesr-and is greatly surprised. 1$$

All these actions are of a common character and consist in raising masses to a certain height His water pitoher, for instance, holds two liters, new measure^On the earth these two liters, representing two kilograms, require a certain effort to be raised, say, to the height of 30 centimeters. But on Mars these two liters weigh only two Martian kilograms, or 16 times less in in earthly weight Further, he does not have to lift them to a height of'SO centimeters, but of only 16 oentimeters, his size being- diminished cine-half, so that the work to be performed is reduced to one-thirty-second. On the other hand, his strength, whiclx ia proportioned to the volume or,the mass of his muscles, is only reduced 'to one-eighth. Consequently the effort he is required to make is four times less. His water pitcher seems extremely light, so do his clotheB. He probably remarked the same thing when be threw up his arms and jumped from his bed, but simply thought he was in unusually good spirits.—M. J. Delboeuf in Popular Scienoe Monthly.

MacMonnies' Studio In Paris.

Those who expect to find in the studio of Frederick MacMonnies in Paris a sumptuous apartment, full of rare and costly "objets d'art" and hung with luxurious tapestries and brooades will be greatly astonished upon beholding its almost barnlike severity. It is a workshop pure and simple, and its very bareness is eloquent of the higlT and serious plane on whioh the sculptor puts his art. But those who have seen it pronounce it fascinating for all that. Thyere is not even a floor. One finds himself on entering on bare, uneven ground. In one corner is a big cage, and inside is a beautiful wild leopard, continually pacing up and down. MaoMonnies is so fond of animals that be keeps this beast in his studio for the pleasure of watching the beauty of its stealthy movements. Scattered all anound are numerous old casts of finished worJP, and also the uncompleted fragments he is now at work on. Among the former are the familiar Sir Harry Vane of the Boston Public library and the beautiful but unfortunate Baochante, and among the latter are parts for tbe colossal groups for the gateway of the Brooklyn park, to which he is now devoting all of his time.—Chioago Inter Ocean.,

Simla's Idea of Fun.

One of the most amusing incidents of the recent Simla season was the impersonation of two foreign noblemen by two gentlemen well known in Simla society, one of them posing as the war correspondent of the Italian paper Boma. Skillful was the disgnise, and so admirably were their parts kept up that the two distinguished foreigners spent the evening with a party in the commander in chief's box and afterward had supper on tbe stage with the actors without their identity being discovered. At stipper the count appeared to fitad the wines of tbe English more potent than those of his own country, and the speechless horror of tbe mamma when he oommenced to pay marked conrt to her daughter very nearly caused the baron to die of suppressed laughter and apoplexy. Next day, when the hoax was discovered, there was some fiuttering in the dovecots as to-what th«y had said to tbe foreign noblemen and what the wicked count had said to tbem. Tbe rest of Simla roared.—Lahore Civioand Military Gazette.

How Oold Was Found on tbe Klondike.

"The River Trip to the Klondike" is described in Tbe Century by John Sidney Webb. The author says:

The famous Bonanza creek and tbe more famous El Dorado creek are very like ordinary, everyday creeks in appearance—a little less civilized perhaps than creeks to be met with in the east. There are men living in Alaska today who have hr/ited moose over these creeks dozens of times but, as tbe old miners say, there were no surface indications to lead any one to suppose tbat gold might be found in tbem, so hundreds of miners passed by in their boats, going to Forty Mile and Circle City. The finding of such gold is always an acoident, and the old hands are usually the last to realize the truth. "Stick George" Cormack and his squaw's relatives camped on the creek for dinner one day and somehow got to digging and wasbed out some gold. He went to Forty Mile and made claim for discovery, and soon the news spread like wildfire.

A Lake That Never Gives Dp Its Dead.

"The Great Lakes" is the snbjeot of an article in St Nicholas. The author, W. S. Harwood, says of Lake Superior:

Another very interesting and very sad thing about this lake is that it never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster—happily infrequent in the tourist season—and goes dowu in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes np again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyageurs in their trim birch bark canoes skirted the picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake down to this present moment those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone paved bottom. It may be that so very cold is the water' some of their bodies may have been preserved through the centuries. Sometimes not far from the shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smaoks or from pleasure boats overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after the most heroic efforts with dragnet or by the diver. Once on a trip down tbe lakes I meta clergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering the narrowing of the lake at the Soo, pointed out the place where the ill fated Algoma went down on the reef some eight years ago, and as he looked he said slowly: "I was at the funeral of one man who went down with her, and the only reason his body is not at the bottom today with the other 38 that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of the vessel and could not sink."

Curled Horsehair For Market.

South America furnishes the greatest amount and best quality of curled horsehair, used for filling mattresses and stuffing furniture. On the wide pampa many thousands of horses are bred especially for the hair of their manes and tails. These between the round ups, which sometimes do not occur in three or four seasons, grow to great length, but owing to the lack of care and the state of the "camps," as the open country is called, the hair is usually tangled in what seems an inextricable mass. All ever tbe oamps grow many kinds of burs and thistles, and the animals as they graze or roll themselves about be come coVered with them. Their coats are naturally rough, the hair growing in an uneven, shaggy way. Stuck all over with burs and with mane and tail matted into nearly unwieldy masses, the poor creatures present a comical ap pearance. After they are shorn tbey seem to delight in the freedom of orop ped necks and short tails.

The hair when cut off is freed from dirt and roughness of all kinds and wound into ropes, by whioh means it is made curly. It sells for 38 cents or 48 cents a pound. The longest strands are kept separated and used for horsehair furniture, cloths, etc.—New York Tribune
