This found no acceptance, so after cursing the stupidity of the pub lie and the publishers he took to writ ing -Sunday stuff." Soon the matter of fact attitude of the workers around him, with the practical view of the market he acquired, led him to doubt the literary value of the work he had done in the sentimental atmosphere of his native place. Frequently a commission to write a column of humor a week came to him, and he cut his epic into short lengths. tacked a.stquib on each fragment and eventually succeeded in Printing it all as humor at a price many times larger than the historic one brought by "Para dbIe Lost." Another newcomer brought unsalable plays and high notions of the austerity of the artistic vocation. Three months after his airrival he was delighted to get at commission to write the hand book a utilitarian publisher proposed to sell to visitors seeing the metropolis. This c'ommission brought not only a fair payment for thte manuscript on de livery, but involved a vital secondary consideration. The title of the work was "Where to Eat In New York." and its preparation made it necessary for the author to dine each evening for am montht in a different cafe at the proprietor's expense.-James II.

Dr. W. E. lrown & Co. MEANINGS OF CALIBER. Either the Diameter of a Gun or It. Length Divided by Diameter. There is surely no word in the no menclature of guns, big and little, which has caused and is causing so much confusion in the lay mind as the word'caliber. The confusion arises chiefly from the use of the term-in an adjectival sense to indicate length, as when we say a 50 caliber six inch gun. The word caliber as applied to artil lery signifies essentially and at all times the diameter of the bore of a gun. A gun, then, of six inch caliber is a gun whose bore is just six inches. For convenience and because the power of a gun when once its bore has been decided upon depends so greatly upon its length, artillerists are In the habit of defining the length of the gun In terms of the caliber. The six inch rapid fire gun, as mount ed on the ships of the navy, is a trifle under twenty-flive feet in length and is therefore known as a 50 caliber gun. In the case of suiall arms the caliber is expressed in hundredths of an inch, as when we say a 22 caliber or 32 cali ber pistol. meaning that the bore is .22 or .32 of an inch in diameter.-Sci entific American.

"I eat and sleep here, but I have a trunk in a neighboring state, where I am getting a divor-ce from my present husband.'' "Then; yon're married at present?" "I'm married in Texas, New York and Massachusetts, divorced in South Dakota, Missouri, Alaska, Oklahoma and California, a bigamist in three other states and a single woman in eight others."-Chi~cago T'ribune. -How Avoid Pnmonia.

Mr. and Mrs. Kemble had made up their minds that Sarah should not marry iin the profession, In conse quence of which they strenuously op posed the marriage, and young Siddons in a fit of retaliatory humor composed a song detailing their opposition and his trials, which brought about 'his speely dismissal from the company. Sarah left the company, too, and hired out as lady's maid in Warwickshire for two years. During this time the lovers carried on a lively correspjondence and finally. gaining the reluctant consent of the Kembles, were married at Trinity church, Coventry, in 1773, when Sarah was eighteen. It is said that Mr. Kemble told-her If she ever married an actor it would make him discard her forever. After her marriage he said, "I may forgive you without breaking my word, for you have certainly not married 'an actor,' whatever the gentleman himself may think is his vocation."

There Are Two Classes, the Genuine and the Pretenders. It has sometimes been said that Lsh ermen cannot be manufactured. This I is true to the extent that nothing can supply the lack of certain inherent, constitutional and inborn qualities or traits which are absolutely necessary to a fisherman's makeup. Of course there are many who call themselves fishermen and who insist upon their membership in the fraternity who have not in their veins a, drop of legitimate fisherman blood. Their self asserted relationship is nevertheless sometimes seized upon by ma3icious or ignorant critics as permitting the assumption that the weaknesses and sins of these pretenders are the weaknesses and sins of genuine fishermen. But in truth these preteaders are only inter lopers who have learned a little tish language, who love to fish only "when they bite," who whine at bad luck, who betray incredulity when they hear a rousing fish story and who do or leave undone many other things fatal to good and regular standing. Thiey are like certain whites called squaw men who hang about Indian reserva tions and gain certain advantages in the tribes by marrying full blooded In dian women. Surely no just person would for a moment suppose that gen uine Indians could be treated fairly by measuring them according to a squaw man standard. Neither can genuine fishermen be fairly treated by judg ing them according to the standards presented by squaw fishermen.-From "Fishing and Shooting Sketches," by Grover Cleveland. Beas the T he Kind You Have Always Bought Signature JAPANESE SAINTS. The One Most Beloved by the People In Binzurn. Among the many Buddhist-Shinto saints, whose quaint effigies set up in every conceivable nook and corner of Japan make it a "country of graven images," one of the most impressive and interesting is the pathetic person called Binzuru. He was once upon a 'time a member of that strange com pany of Buddhist disciples known as the "Sixteen Rakkan." But one day he fell from grace by remarking upon the attractions of a woman, and he was expelled from the society of chaste brethren. The great Buddha gave him, in return for all that his worldliness had cost him, power to heal human ills and to grant the prayers of childless women who long ed for motherhood. But he was put outside the temples. H~e must hence forth sit without, in the midst of the passing throng, and submit himself to personal contact with all that was unclean and healthless. The simple herted people love him, I think, above all saints. His wooden images In the temple porches are the strangest objects in all Japan. They give him soft cushions to sit upon, and he is always clothed in quaint little cotton stuff' collars and mufflers in all sorts of soiled looking colors, and on his head his devotees usually keep a curious little cotton cap.-Eleanor Franklin in Leslie's Weekly.
