She is now employed by a book and story manufactory, receiving $40 a week. She is given the shell or skeleton of a story, just as artificers in the trades are given patterns, and she is expected to fill up the chinks at the rate of one story every two weeks; and her employers do not eare whether she buys, begs, borrows or steals from the unpro./ tected English novels her dialogue and her situations. This revelation explains why novels are now the work of manufacturers. There is a club of vegetarians in Chicago, III., tuac practices what it preaches.

Ho died October 8, 1887, ' leaving an estate of about $600,000, from . which the child's income is about $18,r 000 a year. She has spent only $2,000 a year heretofore.

Cuuimenting upou these figure?, the Marmfaciurtr? Record says-^ "Wo want to disabuse our7P5utT5?ol__ ~T~~., prove to the world that the South is developing steadily, surely and in a healthy manner. Enterprises that are now being established in the South arc put there to stay. They are not being projected to make a show of activity, but , to continue upon a legitimate, sub- si stantial basis. There is probably less speculation in the South at present than at any time in many years past, aud this is the most encouraging of the present situation. The South is moviug forward now upon the lines of conservative legitimate business, and in the long run this means more good honest money in the pockets of all concerned." In its usual weekly summary of new enterprises the ManufacturerRecord gives the following as being organized during the past week. A $1,000,000 coal and coke company at Cornith, W.
