ALL WRITE STORIES. THE OVERSTOCKED CONDITION OF THE CHEAP NOVEL MARKET. Chat with tho Munsg?r of u Leading Now York Story Paper?The Heaps of Manuscript That Are Keeicved Dally by Mall. "No Stories Wanted," reads the large, red-lettered sign at the entrance to the publication office of a leading New York story paper. On the plaster above are the following words traced in pencifc "Who ever goes up this winding stair shall ne'er come down again." Bewies these discour agers, tho whole region about the entrance wears an extremely uninviting appear ance as though the purpose were to deter aspirants for "continued story" fame from entering. To a reporter, who inquired if these precautions had the desired effect, the manager of the concern said wearily: "Not altogether; that sign protect ns in some degree trom city people, although some of them disregard it; but against mail invasion, we have no means of de fense. "My assistants and I are the hardest worked men in New York. Our chief duty is to repack and return the heaps of manuscript we receive daily, and I assure you that it is a work of no little magni tude. Dozens of stories of varied length come to us every day by mail or express. They come from every section of the coun try and from persons in nearly every con dition of life. Of course it is impossible to examine all the manuscripts, but we must return them with polite notes, any how. Why return them!" Well, if we did not the circulation of the paper would drop off in do time, because all these would-be contributors are subscribers, and if we were thus to offend each one how long do you suppose we could continue business? Every reader nowadays con siders himself capable of writing a novel if he once puts his mind to it. I have no doubt that there- is not a tolerably edu cated man or woman In New York to-day who does not firmly believe that he or she could make a good living by the pen were the necessity to arise. It seems that most of those who send us stork's are of that class?people who liave been reduced in circumstances and take to writing in order to increase their meager incomes. UOAlil'lNO SCHOOL MISSES. "But these!:re not the only ones who shower their favors on :is. Stories come iu from young men and women who care nothing for financial recompense. They write just to see their names in print and to be able to show off their productions to friends. School girls are our especial per secutors. Not a week pusses that we don't receive a work of fiction from some feminine boarding school, with a deli cately scented iiotc*iuforming us that the author .has determined to allow us to pub lish her first work and that compensation is no object. Young school teachers arc even more troublesome. They rate their productions so highly and cater into such minute calculations about the pay that their letters would be amusing if they were not so numerous. We do not even escape tbe attention of persons who lack the ability to spell correctly. In fact. I believe we have been favored with the lit erary products of every class of humanity excepting, perhaps, laborers and kitchen girls. "Do you read any of the manuscripts received?" "Very seldom. Were we in need of mut ter to iiU'up space we would probably ex amine the more promising of the works submitted, but every story paper has its regular staff of writers who contribute all tho matter that is wanted. These writers have been selected from the men and women who had already made repututions by publishing successful stories. We can not afford to give space to new people of whom our readers never heard. It is true that we occasionally accept brief poems and one column articles of interest from unknown writers, but most of these would-be authors are above such trivial work. They are satisfied with nothing less than a twenty-week serial." " Are not nearly all contributors women ?" "1'es. Women are monopolizing fiction at present, not only in the sioi-y papers but in published books as well. This is especially the case in England, where I fully nine-tenths of the popular novelists r.rc women. Why is this? Probably be cause men are taking to the graver branches of literature as becomes their character, and are leaving the lighter vein for the delicate banding of the other sex?just as they do iu the physical work J of life. Any how. the fact remains that] the masculine novelist is fast descending i to the stratum of extinct animals."?New York World. Gen. Lee's Sou as a Farmer. Robert E.

Ob, who hasn't had that disease some time during the course of his traveling career!'' queried a nervous chap on the Omaha limited of his seat-mate. '"Before [ went ou tho road," he con tinued, "I lived at Park Ridge, a suburban station near Chicago, on the Northwestern road, and :isi<l to ride in and out every day. I got to noticing the figures on the fre-ght-cars as my train passed along, and finally it got to bo a mania with me. The moment I got oa a moving car I was at the window looking out for the number of freight-cars." "Are you cured}"' interrogated his com panion. "Wait and you will see," replied the nervous man. "I thou :ht of the numbers by day, and actually dreamed of them by night. My main desire in that connection was to see a consecutive series. I was al ways on the lookout for the number, ]$, 345, and if I saw such a number I believe I should have been perfectly satisfied. Ho interested in the search did I become that I conversed with train men about it and thenlearnen.it was a regular' mania among the traveling public. The train men have it, too. "Out on the road I went, still looking for the number. I happened to be out at Denver, Col., one very hot day in June. I got on the Kansas Pacific east-bound train, and had just taken my seat hi the sleeper when the train pulled out. I was at the window, and I there before my eyes was the number 12,345.' It was on a blue car. That cured lue. I never look at the car numbers | now. If I chance to be looking out of a 1 window and see a freight car, the feeling is strong to look at the number, but I re- I strain myself, something that I could not j do before, as I know how much I suffered in the past."?-St. Paul Globe. Five Kxaspcriitln? Street Nuisances. In strolling along the sidewalks of Chi- J cago I meet with live exasperating nuis ances. The first is the window-washer. The long handle of his brush gets between my 1crs. and he splashes water all over my suit of clothes and my newly-polished boots. The second Is the festive janitor emptying his hods of ashes into the street ash-barrel. I always happen to be to the windward, walking toward him, and he makes me look as while as a miller. The third is the mat-beater. The mat is dusted regularly once a month by beating it against-a telegraph post, whenever the wind is high and the sidewalks crowded with people. The fiend bangs it against tlic post for half an hour, and every time he bangs it a brown cloud of ill-smelling dust blows over fifty innocent passers-by. The fourth is the spittoon washer. He brings ten saloon spittoons . to the side walk, ranges them in a line along the curbstone, fills them with water, stirs them with n stick, and leaves them there half an hour to soak. Then he empties them into the gutter, where a brown pud pie stands the rest of the day sickening every one wHB beholds it. The fifth is the fool who carries long things, like a crow bar or a joint of gaspipe, balanced on his shoulder. The head-devil in this line Is the surveyor, or his chainman, walking the sidewalk with his theodolite on his shoulder. The three legs of this infernal tripod have feruhjs as sharp as a needle, and these are always carried in front. He trudges along in a careless manner, chat ting with the idiot by his side, and is only amused to see the people scamper to avoid being impaled. Ho ought to be hanged. ?Chicago Journal "Stroller." Chocolutu and Its Adulterations. Chocolate is one of the articles of trade most susceptible of adulteration, since a very small quantity of the cacao bean im parts taste and perfume to a mixture of tasteless and not always harmless matter. Unscrupulous manufacturers (and espec eially is this applicable to the small producer) introduce into the paste flour, ground corn and beans, stalo coflec gi omuls, vcul or mutton tallow (to supply the necessary oily substance) and the dregs of ground nut.-; (peanuts) after the oil has been completely extracted. The latter substauce, winch a few years ago wasomployed as fertilizer and occasion ally made into cake.-; as food for dogs, is now profitably converted into chocolate. Add to the above ingedicnts cacao shells and ground brick, the latter to give weight, and the components parts of cheap chocolate arc given. Chocolate manufacturers admit, with refreshing artlessut?that adulterated chocolate is very litt.e us^d in France, but is profitably exported. It is difficult to distinguish good chocolate from fabricated, from the appearance of the tablets. Good chocolate possesses' the following qualities: it is oily, possess ing a full and undeniable flavor of cacao, breaks regularly and smooth, it is slightly yellowish in color, with crystalline appear ance, and when cooked with a little water or milk becomes only moderately thick. Adulterated chocolate, on the con trary, breaks irregularly, is somewhat gravelly and porous, is whittish in color, thickens considerably in cooking and gives forth an odor resembling that of glue.? Confectioners' Journal. Standards of. Color. The curious suggestion has l>een made by .Mr. Francis Galtou, of the London An thropological institute, that sumo of the colors of the Italian mosaic workers be i r.ployed as standards for describing the tints of the skia of the various races and tribesol mankind. These colors have great durability, mosaics in St. Peter's at Home having shown no siuns of change after more than a century.

The Burials Always Conducted Decently and In - Order?The Horror? All In torrcri with the Poor lionex?Nearly Fifty-Two Thotifiand Graves. Much sentimental nonsense has been written about the horrors of the Potter's Field. As a matter of fact there is noth log horrible about it?nothing, at least be yond the horror which the mind can con- j jure up, if it is foolish enough to do so, in : connection with death anil decay in any form. The burial of the poor man or the unknown is a matter of business-like des- : patch, as it must needs bo in a great city J where men, women and babes drop by the way in such vast numbers, but there is nothing revolting or insulting about it. j Thanks to the system of the admirably j conducted department of charities and | correction, it? is done with all due decency j and cue. and, while there is a nat oral sentiment in favor of a burial by beok and bell, with priest and plum s. weeping friends and a big granite shaft commemorating the virtues of the 'iepnrted, the poor clay can not sleep any easii r or more securely on the high price, .slopes of Greenwood than it does beside the purling waters of the East river, under the exquisitely green turf of Hart's island. It is a mistake to suppose that-identity is lost in the Potter's Field. On the contrary it is most carefully pre served?by name, if the name is known; i by photograph in the case of the unclaimed dead; and it is a fact that bodies are frequently claimed and removed to more pretentious burying grounds years after they have first partaken of the free hospitality of the much-maligned city cemetery. Hart's island is really in Long Island sound, though in a narrow portion of it. It. is one of the prettiest bits of emerald which the city owns, and which strung along the necklace of the I East river, are beautiful enough to make the, virtuous, solvent, sane and free men of the city envy the surround ings of the pauper and criminal classes. The island comprises about seventy-five acres of laud, and when the new cribbing is filled in there will be twenty-five acre3 nmre, all of which is needed by the over crowded department. Only a third of the island is set apart for the Potter's Field. KItOM HOSPITAL OR TENEMENT. The dead wagon is a busy vehicle, and the two kept in the service of the city often find themselves some hours behind th^ calls, for Old Mortality waits for no maul Each wagon has an assortment of roughl pine coffins, turned out by the city con" victs, with a larger percentage of chil dren's size than adult. Tho bodies gath ered from hospital or tenement, police sta tion or wharf, are placed in a proper-sized coffin and trundled away to the morgue or the dead-house, as the case may be. There j the routine is a fixed one. The unknown j are photographed and fully described in a 'proper book, the clothing seached, rec orded aud stored, and the body placed on . the marble slabs for identification. Every thing possible is done tc find the friends if there tire any to be found. In due time the dead-house is reached, the bodies are recoffined, aud a gang of convktggdE^ daily detailed to this duty,~hoaiv-~ boaffl'rTle department stenmer^WB^Kj When all the coffins have been plated | upon the deck a tarpaulin is placed over I them and the boat starts up the river, not j on the way to horrors certainly. The hor rors have Ikjimi left behind?the herror? of j poverty and suffering, the horrors of tho crowded tenement, of making shirts at 30 j cents a dozen, of seeking work where none is to be found; the horrors of drunkenness i and vice, tho horrors of the hospital and the dissect ing-room, the horrors of all the varied forms of death. These are all be-j hind. There is nothing now but u quiet sail up a beautiful stream and a narrow i resting-place beneath the greenest of sod. The city hearse on Hart's island is not a handsome vehicle, but it is clean and com modious. Tho workhouse people stow the coffins away in it without any particular show of reference and off it trundles to the big cemetery. Numbers are cut in each coffin corresponding to those in the records, und then side by aide they go, ac cording to number, into the big trenches. All is as systematic as a regiment equaliz ing its companies. Each trench is fifteen by forty-live feet square and eight feet deep, and the coltins are ranged in double file, feet to feet, und slanting slightly downward from the heads. A thin layer of earth covers each layer of coffins, for space is precious and their must be three tiers. Then the earth is graded up on top ami the grass is sown which will soon cover up all suggestion of the tales of mis ery wrapped up in the dust below. Small stones at each corner of the trenches form a sort of milestones to the steady en croachments of the bodies upon the space hi the cemetery. The Potters' Field is as level a.s n tennis court. It Is covered with trees and shrubs and traversed by well kept walks.?New York World. The Koyal Langt ry. Early the next morning we found the camping ground about a mile up the road toward Mirror lake. We pitched our tent opposite the Koyal Arch Fall, under a huge tree called the Royal Langtryoak. An inscription on a bonnl tacked to tho tree conveys the start ling Information that upon a certain beautiful midsummer day not many years ago the famous English beauty lunched ander the spreading branches and bathed her fair face and combed her luxuriant hair.
