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. I'rnHjMTlN For n Rlrpniionii I.lfc. 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?— Loudon Spectator. A* to Printer*' ttliirk*. The Interrogation mark or “point" (?) was originally a “q” and un “o,” the latter placed under the former. They were simply the iirst and last let ters of the Latin word "questio.” So, too*with the sign of exclamation or In terjection (!t. In Its original purity it was a combination of "1” and "o.” the latter underneath, as in the question mark. The two stood for “Io,” the Latin exclamation of Joy.

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.

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.
