SUNDAY MORNING.
j AN AUTHOR’S WORKSHOP.
The I‘lai’p XVlii-rltu 1 vto r-I.>t ton
Could Write at Kue.
When Charles Mackey was visiting
Lord Lytton at Knobworth, he was im
pressed, ha gays in his ‘‘Recollections,"
with the beauty of the library. He re
marked to the novelist that in such a
cheerful room among bo many hooks
any author could get through u vast
amount of labor.
“f cannot write so well in the li
brary," replied Lord Lytton, “as in an
other place. Take a stroll with me, and
I wilt show you my favorite study.”
They went for a considerable dis
tance to the shore of an artificial lake
In Kuebworth park, and there stood a
boathouse. A small boat was drawn
up on one side of it, and on the other,
near a small window, stood a chair
and a common deal table, on .which
was a pewter inkstand.
railing open the drawer. Lord Lytton
showed Ills guest a good supply of pa
per, pens and a blotting book.
“I can write more freely here,” lie
said, “than in the grand library. I will
tell you how the grew. When I
was a small boy, I was very ambitious
to write and wrote an immense amount
of trash. My mother thought tiiat the
oceupatioti of so rnueh time in writing
would be Injurious to my health and
prohibited my writing In the library.
“I tlien had.recourse to my bedroom,
but was In due time banished from
that mid deprived of pen and Ink. The
more Imperatively 1 was forbidden to
write the more I Indulged in the pro
hibited joy. I'took refuge In the boat
house and wrote for hours with a lead
pencil, using Hie seat of the boat for
my willing table. So 1 learned to write
here, and I can do better work here
than anywhere else.” Youth's Com
panion.

A well dressed lad, the sou of
wealthy parents, thought It would lie
quite manly to earn a few coppers for
himself liy selling daily papers, says
the Chicago Journal. He slopped a
tattered newsboy in the street and
said to hint:
"l)o you think 1 should lie able to
earn money as you do if I bought
some papers and came to this corner
to sell them?"
“Why do you want to sell papers?"
"I’m tired of being Idle.”
"Well," said the philosophic little
newsboy, with ft serious air, “d’jff'r
think yer can hold thirty-six papers in
one hand, lick three or four boys btg
ger’n yerself with the other hand,
while yer keeps two more off with yer
feet and yells ‘Evenin' paper’ all the
time?”
"No-o, 1 don't,” replied the well
dressed boy.
"Then yer are no good in the news
boy lax," replied the tattered philoso
pher. "Ye’d bettor git yer people to
’prentice yer to somethin’ light."
An Atmosphere of Happiness.
Happiness Is, wo maintain, a good
end. The only question is, llow much
sacrifice Is it worth? Well, certainly
not (ho sacrifice of sincerity and cer
tainly not the sacrifice of others, but
surely the sacrifice of the habit of men
tal lasluess, which is only self saeri
tlce. If by a little trouble we can cre
ate for ourselves a sweet atmosphere
in which to live, we are surely doing
nothing of which we need he ashamed.
After all, no ono breathes his own at
mosphere alone; otiters breathe it with
him. If happiness is a despicable ob
ject, let its face the fact sincerely and
give up all fie many tilings which we
now do opei 'y and exclusively to ob
tain It. If it is not, why should wo not
pull ourselves together, give our at
tention to the game and play up?—

the latter placed under the former.
They were simply the iirst and last let

was a combination of "1” and "o.” the

DINED IN THE KITCHEN.
One Hull ((factory Meiil Grant Ha 4
After Hlm Tour of the World.
"When General Grant stopped at the
Palmer House in Chicago on his re
turn from his tour of the-world,” said
a man who was there at the time, “the
steward was all but slupeiied one noon
at seeing the ex-presldent slide in at
the kitchen door as though escaping
from someone.
“ T am sorry to trouble you,’ he said,
as though asking a great favor, ‘hut
may I have a little corned beef and
cabbage V’
“ ‘Why, certainly,’ the steward re
plied; ‘but shan’t I send it out to you
In the dining room?’
“ ‘No,’ he answered; ‘l’ll eat it right
here If you’ll let me sit down.’
“So a plage on tlic rough board table,
where the cook had been lixing the
meat, was cleared, and Grant drew up
a stool and set to, and the way he
got away with that corned beef and
cabbage was a caution. When lie had
finished, he laid down his knife and
fork with a funny sigh of satisfaction,
put one hand on the steward’s shoulder
and said:
“ ‘Young mail, I don’t suppose you
care for (hat at all, but if you had had
to cat what I have for the past few
months It would taste like a dinner for
the gods. It: tastes homey!’
“The ex-presldent had dined with,
everybody from the queen down, but
that cabbage and corned beef doubt
less reminded him of the time when
he was not so well known, hut proba
bly far happier—when people in St.
Louis called him ‘captain’ wln-n they
spoke to him and bought the wood he
carted into town to sell.”
Ckaiudcr at n Ulnnee,
An insignificant nose means an In
significant man. An open mouth is u
sure sign of an empty head (keep yours
closed). A projecting upper lip shows
malignity and avarice. Pointed noses
generally belong to meddlesome peo
ple. Large eyes in a small faee betok
en malieiousiiess.
A retreating chin is always Imd; It
shows lack of resolution. A projecting
under lip indicates ostentation, self
conceit and folly. Fine hair generally
betokens native good taste and intelli
gence.
A dimple in the chin is pretty, but
Indicates weak mental organization.
High cheek bones always Indicate
gn at force of character In some direc
tion. Fullness of the temples is sup
posed to show powers of mathematical
calculation.
A small mouth, with nose and nostril
also small, shows Indecision and cow
ardice. Half shut eyes show natural
shrewdness, together with lack of sln
cerll.v. Slow moving eyes are always
found in the heads of persons of pru
dence and ability.—London Answers.

A Tnrt Retort.
Lord Unbelts once found himself tlie
center of u circle of new friends In a
London chili. There was a very lull
gentleman present, who, evidently be
lieving himself to shine as a wit, seized
every opportunity to raise a laugh at
tile other peoples expense. On being
introduced to Lord Boberts the wit

To this Lord Huberts promptly re

The Safest Clare In n Storm,
Every one is aware that it is not wise
to seek a tree’s shelter in a thunder
storm; but. if you must take refuge
there, then climb to tlie topmost
brandies, it lias been proved that tlie
upper boughs of trees during a storm
would l>e the safest position, and it is
said that birds in the brandies are sel
dom killed. When the tree is struck by
lightning, it "is the trunk which, pre
sumably from its greater dryness, is a
bad conductor and which therefore
suffers tlie most.
