A poet’N Titian, dad in the fair gulae
Of a bright lily, all in white and gold—
flt-rt not the form for passionate arms to foid|
She loves, but loves in such angelic wise
As might some wanderer from the upper skies.
Who wears, with rosy lip* of tenderest curve.
The starry purity of saintly eyes.
But if some lofty purpose were to serve.
The fair and delicate figure that would teem
One wbo could walk, with straight, unshaken
tread,
The flaming city of the unpardoned dead
(Shewn to the Florentine in lurid dream),
Serene and ftcathless thro’ the infernal glow—
Nor touch of fire upon her raimyot know.

MAKING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
What It Coate-The Method Usually Em
ployed^I’ay for Contributions.
“How much does it cost to produce an
encyclopedia*” was Asked of an expert,
and he said:
“That depends upon the method pur
sued in making it. The American Cyclo-
pa-din cost $500,000 before a penny was
realized. The mAps and engravings in
tin work cost about $115,000. The best
lithographers were employed and many of
the pictures cost hundreds of dollars.”
•How is an encyclopedia made?”
“Well, usually after the method em
ployed in compiling dictionaries. Editors
are engaged for the different departments.
There is the religious editor, the medical
editor, the historical editor, the scientific
editor and the editor on miscellaneous
subjects. The l>est authorities in the land
are chosen to edit the work, and lurge
salaries are paid. In the process of com
pilation an alphabetical rule is observed.
The old encyclopaedias, such as Cham
bers’ and Encyclopaedia Britannica, nre
followed as regards the subjects they
treat of. The modern encyclopaedia, how
ever, has very much of a newspaper flavor.
It is based upon the principle of Ameri
can journalism. It is timely and in
tended to hit the spirit of the age. The
biographies of prominent men are made an
especial feature. The American Cyclo
paedia is the greatest untiertaking in the
art of book making ever attempted in this
country. Charles A. Dana, of The Sun,
wt*j» and is the editor in chief. He fixes
t he prices paid to contributors. He knows
the value of every word that is written.
If an article is bunded in by a specialist
and another comes in from an obscuro
professional man in any science lie choses
tIk* l>est.”
How much do the contributors to en
cyclopedias make?”
Generally we pay magazine rates—
that is. $10 per 1,000 words. Many of
flic* articles, however, cost far more than
that. There nre some contributors who
eive $5oo or $1,000 for n abort article.
They jHMisess exclusive information, how-
l)r. Shnuly, who is the authority
on cancer and editor of The Medical
Record, furnished us exclusive informa
tion bn that subject and on many others
sonneotod with surgery. Of course a
specialist Is paid far more than an ordi
nary writer. Often n page costs ns $500.
Then, again, we run page after page at
he cost of $20. Many of the writers aro
non who hold the foremost rank in liter
ature. Consequently they demand large
prices for their work.”
"How much mouey is invested in ency
clopaedias?”
"That is a difficult question to answer.
Wo have run into the millions on sales,
but it should l>e remembered that ency
clopedias are never sold in bulk. The
nstallinent plan is always adopted. Our
contributors pay for each volume us it is
issued.”
lu case a volume is lost, can It be du
plicated?”
‘•That depends on who the loser may
A regular contributor, one who has
■ n buying volume after volume for
years can certainly bo accommodated.
His name is down on our lxM»ks, and we
>gnlze him as a patron of the house.
\ genuine set of encyclopaedias cost a
great deal of money, about $150 to $200,
isequeutly they are sold In installments
imtl the purchaser is protected.”—New
York Mail and Express.
Ha Knows This Trick Now.
“Have any of you found a i»ank note?'
inquired a man in wild eyed excitement
as he hurriedly approached a set of
loungers at the Union depot yesterday
morning.
‘Have you lost one?” asked an elderly
stranger of hlaud and sedate appearance.
“Yes, yes; have you found it?”
“Wait a moment. What was its de
nomination ?”
It was a $<50 bill—natioual bank
note.”
The stranger leisurely drew a roll of
bills from his pocket, looked them over,
took one out and passed it over to the ex
cited individual, reinurking with much
urbanity as he did so:
•It Is well for you, my friend, that it
was found by an honest man. I picked
it up a few miuutesago, and take pleasure
In giving back to you what I am satisfied
Is your property.”
"Thank you, sir; thank you. It’s my
turn now to do the fair thing. Here’s a
$10 bill. You shau’t refuse it. Take it,
sir; take It, or I shall feel hurt.”
The stranger, thus urged, took the
money, and the grateful individual walked
off with his *30. He was considerably
surprised to learn, a few hours later, that
the bill was not the one he hud lost at
all, but a counterfeit. He is now looking
for the bland and elderly stranger, but
there are reasons for doubting his success
in finding him.—Chicago Tribune.
Superiority of American Husbands.
It is a fact, which had already struck
me, and which I had heard frequently re
marked upon, thnt American wives, if
they are not allowed so much latitude iu
flirtation am English ones, receive much
more deference aud a greater share of les
petita aolna from their husbauds. An
American husband himself pays his wife
those little Attentions which in English
society usually devolve upon another
man tt the lady happens to be pretty and
agreeable, and which she does without if
she is neither. It is possible thnt the su
S eriority of the American system may be
ue to the ease with which divorce can !>e
obtained in some states, und which, to
nse a homely expre*ufiou, put a pair “more
upon their p’s and q’s” with each other.
It may arise from a higher development
of the sentiment of chivalry in the breast
of the American man. At any rate, he
shows to advantage in his domestic as
well as In hla business relations.—Temple
Bar.
