Well, it depends upon what kind of a book it is. An or dinary, every day novel is made in this way: First the manuscript is received at the literary department of the publish ing house to which it Is sent, and is quickly consigned to the mercies, tender lo opinio! majority of the readers wfu in most cases determine the value of a manu script, and if it receives that then nego tiations are entered into with the author. Often a royalty is paid, and as often, per haps, the manuscript is bought outright Of course this depends largely upon the author's reputation, if he has any. and> the kind of books he has written. For instance, more risks could be legiti mately taken by tlie publisher on an author who has previously written books which had sold well than upon a novice. As daturally, also, there is a larger sale for a book on a popular subject than for one on a scientific or alwtruae subject Sometimes the author nays for the electrotype plates from which the book is printed, but this is not done very often, for authors nre not rich ns a class. The manuscript having been accepted and carefully edited, and negotiations for its qse having been successfully concluded, it is sent to the composing room and then divided into “tabes,” os they are called, among the compositors. After it is set np proofs are struck off and sent to the author for revision. Sometimes he gets three sets of proofs before everything is w of type efec- i the book is to these are fitted into the presses and the printing begun. If a largo first edition is wanted a large number of presses are set to work, and vice versa if a small edition. As the book comes from the presses it i to the bindery and is bound. The _jest expense connected with the mak ing of a book is prolxthly the cost of elec trotype plates. Few publishing houses issue out one liook at a time, for by pub lishing several together expressage and other incidental Items of expense are laved. Many publishers count the second edition of a book nearly clear profit, all the expenses having been reckoned as ; on the first edition. The illus ion the covers of books nre mostly made by artists whose sole business it U lo do that kind of artistic work. To a publishing house like Harper's, for in stance, a special coqie of these artists is attached, and they are paid good sal aries. If a scientific booh is to be pub lished, instead of sending the manuscript to the ordinary corps of readers it is sent to a scientific man whore reputation as •a expert in the particular science In question is high.—New York Press. Japanese Dinner llllqnette. When the guests arrive, say for dia per, the politeness of paradise is turned loose. With groat apparent hesitation they enter, bowing low with their hands on their knees if they are men, or drop- on their knees and touching their i almost to the ground if they are holies. The first Japancse salutadion cor responds exactly to the Norwegian “Tak ecinn Japanese greeting- A conversation some thing after tide stylo ensues: “I beg your pardon for my rudeness on the last occa- tion." “How can you say such a thing when It was 1 who failed toehow you dae courtesy?” “Far from It! I received • lesson in good manners from you. How can you condescend to come to •och a poor bouse os this?" “How can you, indeed, be so kind as to receive such *B unimportant person os myself under four distinguished roof?" r All this punctuated with low bows and tho sound of breath sucked rapidly in between the teeth, expressive of great •mpressement.

Pisor— SSaUe Is This Metier Is the Last Ratf Dacca Veers—It lichen re* the ? asses te Wake l'p- Wlthin the last ten or twelve yterr this country has witnessed two distinct eras in the method of plumbing About 1876 the plumbing done in the United States, and perhapa 1 might say emwciaUy in Chicago, had become so boa, with competition and other causes, tliat then was a general movement ail over the country to effect something better. It was our misfortune, Iwwever, to make progress through mistakes. Hie pipes then used wen of such light weight as not to be of service, the traps failed of their purpose,'and the old drop pan closeto wen practically worthlrKs. Chi cago today lias any amount of that sort of work, done just about the time of the gnat fin and prior. As might have been expected, the correction of these evils led to mistakes no lorn grave in re gard to sanitation and unnecessary ex pense. Aa the result of this call for improve- meat came the period of complicated structure. Complex traps and fixtures wen invented and sent over the country, when they found ready sale, and work manship became more involved. Scores of patents wen taken out on this, tliat ana the othfr appliance, and in almost every case the work failed of being ef fective . simply from its complicated structure. That b tho great fault with much of the plumbing done in thu city for abotft six years prior to 1882, and even with many of tho contrivances now offend for sale in the market Theoretically there b no reason why the reform instituted about 1876 should have resulted in a partial failure. The principles on which inventors and engi- neers went to work at the time wen doubtless right, barring only that the lack of simplicity necessitated frequent repairs and gave freer scope to defective workmanship. The efforts toward im provement were honest enough, though the means were ill advised. A KKACTIOXARY MOVEMENT. In 1883 a reactionary movement waa instituted in the interest of simplicity of structure and workmanship, and that year marks the beginning of what may bo termed the best era of plumbing and house drainage. Involved, complex work, though in some degree still prac ticed, b practically out of date. The main purpose now in view btocliminalo every unnecessary angle, to simplify every trap or combination of traps, to make nil fixtures us little complicated aa possible, to use material on account of its merits and not from traditional no tions as to its (Uncss—in a word, to put tho matter on a scientific basis. Thu re action, I think, was a step in the right direction, and tho results will doubtless stand the test of actual use. The sanitarian of to-day has more to contend with than most people would suppose. Ono of the greatest barriers lo progress b custom. Fallacies are daily perpetuated, it is with house building, sewerage, ventilation and the like ns it to with most businesses. People follow in ruts from mere liahit.

People are naturally more or less conservative even in the matter of rem edying evib whicli entail sickness, an noyance and expense. Sewers of deposit, for instance, have no place in sanitary work. Cities are growing inordinately to comparison with hind districts Thus In every metropolitan city life becomes more and more eiweiitially artificial, and no adequate provision is made to neu- tralfoe this growing artificiality in re spect to its influence on health. Hipu- sands live In cramped quarters—two or three rooms—with absolutely no regard for light, ventilation, water supply, house drainage or anything of tlie sort. The one aim, ap|>arently. is lo lie with the crowd. In the huKinexs |>nrtions of thbeity. where land is very expensive, buildings are run up excessively high, and it b only in tlie newest and liest structures that adequate provision b made for light A smoke laden nituoe- pbere b a constant menace, an evil in the manufacturing and business districts no less great than the vitiated, oft breathed air in many private dwellings. And still the masses seem oblivious to their needs. In a large measure the preservation of sanitary conditions mind remain a matter of purely private interest and precaution, and in a country likeoura, where the citizens have such power to getting bws enacted and enforced, it eehooree the masses to wake up to • realbatiou of the needs of sanitation •ad post themselves as to the best means of accomplishing their puqiose.—Chi cago New*.

A Cammi mm m King Rem’s Castle B#4 1SS rest High, oe the Rocks Beside A Co—epolltao Population. That part of tho ancient provence which b now called Lee Douches du Rhone b a flat and barren estuary of that river, and very desolate in appearance. The neighborhood of Kismes resembles the Roman campegna, uninhabited, dry and waste, with small olive trees alone re lieving the monotony, although projects are on foot for irrigating the country as far as the Aiges Morteo, or dead farms. But a little furtlier south tho real desert begin*, and a more repellant section of country I never saw, unless it were in Arizona. The soil seems to consist of mortar, and the broken rocke that jut from it resemble masses of ruined ma sonry. Scrubby bushes and sage brush scarcely enliven the scene, and you wonder who can live in the occasional gray stone houses. Across these desolate plains the Inde fatigable Romans built aqueducts to con vey water from the occasional whole some springs to their various colonies, and traces of these waterways are found in all directions. The principal one wi twenty-five miles long, constructed prob ably by Agrippa, the general of Augus tus, in order to bring water to Ntomes. Ruined arches of this aqueduct remain hero and there along its course, but one portion exists entire, and to, perhaps, the noblest Roman structure in the world. It b called the Font du Gard, extending across the rocky valley through which flows the little river Gardon, about fif teen miles from Ntomes. From thb city we vbited it, taking the railroad as far as Remoulins, and then walking two miles across the quiet, desolate campagna, scarcely seeing a living being by our way. The road, however, was perfect, as all the highways are in France- hard, smooth and white across the gray plain. MAGNIFICENT RUINED ARCHES. As we approached the river tho pros pect was varied by low hilto and yellow aspen groves, and suddenly appeared be fore us across the valley we were de scending a gigantic screen of arches, one above another. We drew near to it with actual feelingsof.awe, it scarcely seemed a work of mortal hands, but rather as if built for eternity by the old gods who ruled the earth of yore. The Pont lias three tiers of arches, the whole being 640 feet long and 188 high. The lowest row, where tlie river passes below it, consuls of six arches, tlie next one of eleven of the same size, while above those to a row of thirty-five small arches, on top of which is laid the water way, a canal 0 feet wide and of about tho same depth. This passage again b withi' covered i slabs of stone and was for merly used by foot passengers when crossing the river, but in the beginning of the last century a bridge was added to the lower part of the structure. The blocks of stone of which the whole b corujiosrd nre about live feet in length and two |» depth, and are laid entirely without cement. W. only passed a few hours at Taras- con, threading our way among the old fortifications : rd narrow, lofty streets as if going throu !i tho passages in a gran- ito quarry, until wo came lo King Rene's castle, standing on a rock beside the Rhone. The cajtle, partly ruined, b square and of a stately height, but with no claim to grace or beauty «f architec ture except a fine macliiolated cornice, tho towers being half buried in tho walls, above w hich they do not rise, like the picture of the Bastille. The river, how ever, is broad and imposing at thb (>art of its career, and so smooth that every stone was reflected from its bosom; and we were glad that tho good king had a pleasanter prosjiect than that of his gray littlo capital, nnd that the maidens of hb court ns they peeped from the slitted w indows of their bowers could see the shins go by, and perhaps drop a rose now and then to some sercuadcr in a boat Certainly all the charms of music and romance would be needed to make such a dwelling place desirable. LIFE IN THK STREETS. At Marseilles we have come Into the midst of southern climate and southern outdoor life. Houses for any other than Bleeping purposes seem suddenly to be at n discount, and you can freely watch tho daily life of the people os you walk through tho crowded streets. Here women are sitting In rows on benches knitting or mending garments with their children round their feet; there they are roasting coffee or chestnuts or frying fish or doughnuts over little charcoal fires. Men squat on tho pavement re pairing fishing nets, cobbling or weaving great boskets out of Manilla rope—very useful articles apparently, from their flexibility and strength. Both sexes are engaged in selling everything that can be sold—the women who offer you flowers doing so often from pretty stalls exactly like booths in a fancy fair; while bargaining, wrangling, emitting and singing go on vociferously all day and almost nil night The most lively part of the city lies around tho port and tlie docks, and a stroll in that neighborhood would give you a very good idea of the carnival anywhere else. The old port, so called, to generally crowded witti shipping, al though it can contain 1,200 vessels at once, and as it b the center of Mediter ranean trade all nations and languages nre represented in its waters and on its wharves. Here you see the handsome Greeks and Albanians, the vivacious Italians, the burly Africans, Moon and Arabs bfi white buraoose.

What demand « hs for Vourukf—Boston Budget Oaa t-maMUag. Dr. Henry Hun 1ms an article In The Medical News on sewer gas poisoning, in which he finds that no 1cm than thirteen classes of disease may be trac ed to the inhalation—more or less long continued— of the atmosphere from sewers. Tlie fiat b as follows: Vomiting and purging, either separate or combined; a form of nephritis; general debility, in some cases of which the heart b especially involved; fever, which b frequently accompanied by chilb; sore throat, which b frequently of a diphthcittic character; neuralgia; per haps, also, myelitis of the anterior horns; symottc diseases, such os typhoid fever, pneumonia, diphtheria, cholera, dysen tery, cerebro spinal meningitis, erysipelas and scarlet fever (in these enses undoubt edly the sewer gas merely acta as a vehicle for the specific germ); a condition of asphyxia which, in ita severe form, b characterised by coma, convulsions and collapse; puerperal fever, abscesses, lym phadenitis, acute aural catarrh (*).

Aristocratic Frog Spearing. Frog spearing Is a questionable kind of amusement which, it appears, is at pres ent indulged In by many aristocratic idlers who arc trying to kill the long summer days in country seats. The latest instance of this peculiar kind of sport took place in the grounds of the Chateau of Bollan- conrt. After luncheon a party of ladles and gentlemen, armed with weuiKms re sembling crossbows, the arrows being of hazlewood, with iron Ittnceheads, and at tached to the bow by silken strings, so ns to enable the frogs to be hauled in, pro ceeded to the banks of a pond. Then there was a great deal of unceremonions stooping down aa tho frogs appeared, and arrows were let off in all directions, the slaughter being considerable on the part of those who pursued the sport for the purpose of begging game. The impaled batrachlans were in all cases carefully collected and handed over to the cooks.— Paris Cor. London Telegraph. LIW fill >S J. t. WASD. B. 0. woou* WARD & WOODS.

It has been asserted that there is an alarming amount of illiteracy in Massa chusetts. Statistical inquiry shows that by far the greater number of these illiter ates are of foreign birth, so that the fault b not with the public school system, but, the evil is duo to a temporary cause, i namely, immigration. Again, it has been freely asserted that in the United States women of native birth do not have as many children as women of foreign birth, and that hereby the real American popu- btion b losing ground. The census of Massachusetts will show that although American women do have a less number of children on the average yet a larger numl»er survives, so that the alarm is needless.
