Did Dickens Spoil the Market?
Publishers receive frequent appli¬
cations from foreigners, chiefly
French and German, for permission
to translate American stories and
novels into other languages for pub-
hcation abroad. Usually the per-
mission is cheerfully granted by
author and publisher, hut the com-
pensation involved is scarcely
worthy of consideration. Some au¬
thors hold Charles Dickens partially
responsible for the precedent which
established this rule of low prices
for translation privileges. When
Dickens sold the F'rench rights of
“David Copperfield” to Messrs. Ha-
chette of Paris, he received therefor
only £ 20 . But whether this estab¬
lished the rule or not it is certain
that no author has since been able
to make very good term 3 for similar
arrangements.—Harper’s.

THREE CHINESE FABLES.
Stories That Illustrate the Literature
of the Country.
Chinese literature, almost un-
known to western l peoples, V is rich in
parables £ and fable W . A. P.
fartln in his book> « xhe Lore of
Cathay/’ gives several which mav '
not be ag ood a3 aEsop> but ar e
greatly superior to those of some of
his modern imitators.
A tiger who had never seen an
ass was terrified at the sound of his
voice and was about to run away
when the donkey turned his heels
and prepared to kick.
“If that is your mode of attack,”
said the tiger, “I know how to deal
with you.”
In another fable the donkey gets
even.
A tiger captured a monkey. The
monkey begged to be released on
the score of his insignificance and
promised to show the tiger where
he might find a more valuable prey.
The tiger complied, and the monkey
conducted him to a hillside wher.
an ass was feeding, an animal which
the tiger had-never before seen.
“Mv good brother,” said the ass
to the monkey, “hitherto you have
always brought me two tigers. How
is it that you have brought me only
one today?”
The tiger fed for his life. Thus
u ready wit wards off danger.
The principle of the next fable
the Chinese always apply to their
European instructors in the art of
war.
A tiger, finding a cat very prolific
in devices for catching game, placed
himself under her instruction. At
length he was told there was DOth -
j n g more t0 i earne( p
“Have you taught me all your
tricks ?”
“Yes,” replied the cat.
“Then,” said the tiger, “you are
of no further use, and so I shall
eat you.”
The cat, however, sprang lightly
into the branches of a tree and
smiled at the tiger's disappointment.
She had not taught the tiger all her
tricks.
The Wrong Connection.
The telephone girl and the biljt
clerk, her heart to and whom hand, she had sitting promise^
were in
front of the fireplace talking about
the happy days to come when they
would be one.
From one little detail to another
the talk finally drifted to the sub¬
ject of lighting the fires in the
morning. On this point the young
man was decided. He stated it as
his emphatic opinion that it was a
wife's place to get up and start the
fires and let her poor, hardworking
husband rest.
After this decision there was a
silence for the space of about three-
quarters of a second. Then the tel¬
ephone girl thrust out the finger en¬
circled by her engagement ring and
murmured sweetly, but firmly :
“Ring off, please. You have got
connected with the wrong number.”

A YVEQDiNG TOUR INCIDENT.
The Bride’s Embarrassing Meeting
With Her Former Fiance.
She is very pretty, and no one
wonders that" her husband is much
in love with her unto this day, but
she tells this story of a bad half
hour on her wedding journey.
“I was eighteen,” she said, “when
I was married and had been engaged
to my husband a year, but preceding
both engagement and marriage I
was sort of engaged, schoolgirl fash¬
ion, to another young fellow. It
was one of those intangible engage¬
ments that melt into thin air when
the real prince comes, but fervid
enough while they last. In this case
my interest in the affair cooled with
the rapidity of a collapsing balloon,
and as the youth lived in a distant
city no embarrassing explanations
were necessary.
“So I was married, and the wed¬
ding journey included a stop of sev-
eral days in a town on the Ohio riv¬
er, where we had a cozy table all to
ourselves at the hotel. It was at
dinner one day that the patriarchal
waiter approached and asked if we
would object to another gentleman
and lady being placed at our table.
we i Bride like yourself, missy/ he
added confidentially as he passed
my chair. In a moment he ushered
to their places the other couple, and
1 looked up to encounter my former
fiance, consternation and amaze¬
ment written on every line of his
face. Lacking the wit or wisdom of
experienced years, I dropped my
eyes without further recognition
than rapid paling and flushing of
countenance, and he, following my
lead, began discussing the menu
with his wife.
“The dinner proceeded in such
appalling silence so far as I was
concerned as to fairly paralyze my
husband, and explanations were in
order as soon as we returned to our
apartments. Then how he laughed
and went in search of the rival cou¬
ple, only to find they had left the
hotel immediately after the meal,
and we have never heard of either
of them since.”—Baltimore Sun.
The Value of Thought.
It is hardly necessary to say that
all men need to “swing” the moral
compass from time to time and to
take their bearings in the sea of
life. The advice is as true as it is
conventional. Upon the use of
thinking for such purposes we shall
not, then, dwell. We may, however,
point out that as a means of
strengthening mind and invigorating the
in a secular and worldly sense
the habit of thinking is of the great¬
est possible value.
The minds of those who dread
thinking as if it were a penance be¬
come like the bodies of those fed
solely on spoon meat—soft and un~
able to stand the slightest strain,
reading, as one ordinarily reads,
like swallowing pap; thinking like
eating solid food. The man who
trains his mental powers by medita¬
tion and by following outlines of
thought obtains an intellectual in¬
strument a hundred times more pow¬
erful than he who is content never
to think seriously and consecutively.

Chemical Effect of Lightning.
well Lightning works chemically as
of as developing mechanically. It has the pow¬
which er has been a peculiar odor,
to that of phosphorus, variously compared
nitrous gas
and most frequently burning sul¬
phur. Wafer mentions a storm on
the isthmus of Darien which dif-
fused such a sulphurous stench
through his the atmosphere that he
and marauding companions
could scarcely draw their breath,
particularly when they plunged into
the wood. The British ship Mon¬
tague lightning, was once struck by globular
which left such a satanic
savor behind it that the vessel seem¬
ed nothing but sulphur, and every
Journal. man was suffocating. — Chambers'
An Unexpected Reply.
A member of the school board in
a Baltimore school had been trying
to interest the children in the fire
drill. He had taught them that
when they heard the fire alarm they
were to fall into line and march
out.
One day he brought a friend with
him to visit the school, who made a
little address, after which the mem¬
ber said to the children:
“Now you have heard what the
gentleman has said to you and lis¬
tened very attentively. What would
you do if I should make a few re¬
marks ?”
“Fall into line and march out!”
cried they with one voice.
