CRUSHED CONTRIBUTORS. A Reasonable Talh In Writers of Kojectsd Articles for the Press. 1 There U constant complaint from new and amhitloiiswrlter that they can nut gut a proper hoarlnir In the muga- tines and newspaper. They send their wures to unti market afmr another only to have thuin rupuatcdly declined; and out of these successive disappointments they evolve the belief ttiut there lit a Conspiracy against them on the part of the editor who Hum complacently dis pose of their pretty dream. It wi'im impossible to tliem that there can bo two opinion about tho value of the pro duction to which they havo devoted to much tlmo and thought. Now and then, to be aura, they re ceive nice littlo notes from tbeiui Tailed autocrat, commending tbeir work and regretting- that it la not avail able, and that simply atrike them aw .. Insult added to injury. If their manu scripts aro really wortb praising, they argue, why aro they not worth buying and publishing? The Inconsistency of the thing is palpablo, from their point of view; and they can not understand wby editor should take the troublo to disclaim sincerity in such a deliberate and conclusive way. They seo material used by theso same editors which they re sure does not surpass theirs In lit erary merit l'erhaps they detect some of tholr own idea in the accepted con tribution; and it la difficult for them to void the conviction that they have somehow furnlshod fuel to boll the pots Of lurking ana favored competitor. In a certain sense, these industrious - poets; essayist and novelists are not to blame for harboring the fooling that tome sinister Influence Is at the bottom of their numerous disappointments. Tbey are often right when they think that their efforts are at least equal to the average of those that find purchas ers. Many of them do really good work, and it is no wonder that they are sur prised and chagrined when It oomos Steadily back to them. But they do not understand the conditions which oper ate to tholr disadvantage. They are on the outsldo, and the controllng facts are on the Inside. It is not impossible for thorn to realize the olroumstanoes nndor which their manuscripts re necessarily considered. They do not know how many other people are oapablo of doing work as admirable as their own in every respect, and how little out of tho abundance of such mat ter that is offered the editors can make place for. It is possible that the best choico is not always made; but when mistake of that kind are mado thoy are not Intentional. So when editors write complimentary notes they are actuated by honest motive, and mean just what they say. a hey can not furnish an ex- plnnation in detail; but thoy do tho next best thing, and may safoly be taken at their word when they assure contributors that given productions, though meritorious, are not available. Tho whole matter is one of demand and supply. There is no sentiment in it and no discrimination except on strict business lines. The editors are not less anxious to buy good things than con tributors are to soil them; but they can utilize only a stipulated amount, and that is very small in comparison to the quantity from which the selections are mado. During recent years there has been a wonderful increase of the writing labit in this country. The time was, and not very long ago, when the people who could perform literary service of reasonable merit were " exceptional, whereas they are now plentiful in every section. This causes over-production, and the multiplication of manu scripts that truly deserve praise Is greatly In excess of the wants of the editors. A thing of superior quality is certain to be taken at fair prico, no matter where it comes from. Hut liter ary miracles aro scarce, and the editors must accordingly purchaso what they need out of what they find In the mar ketnot all that meets tholr approval but only so much of it as is essential to , their purposes. They give preference to writers of established reputation, naturally enough, for roasons of practical sort, which provall in every business; and beyond that they do tholr choosing with trained intelligence and degree of impartiality that lcavos no lust cause of complaint St. Louis Ulouo-Democrat A STUPENDOUS WORK. The New I'mtu-i Aqueduct at New York and Other (.rent Tunnel. Compared with other tunnuls, tho new ' aqueduct is easily at tho head of all works of a like character in the world. j ne cities oi inicago and uieveiand aro each supplied with water through tun nels extending out into a lake. The first Chicago tunnel is 5 feet in dlumotor and 10,5)17 feet long. The second tun nol is 7 feet in diumeter and 81,490 feet long. 'J lie Cleveland tunnel Is only S feet in diumeter and 6,1101 feet long. All of these tunnels were laid in compara tively soft materials. The llaltimore water supply Inoludos rook tunnel twelve feet in diameter and sovon miles long, and is lined with brick-work for about two miles. The old lioninn anuo- ducts wero several of them longor than the troton Aqueduct but they wero all very small, and were merely masonry conduits a few foot in diameter. The Liverpool water supply is convoyed by an aqueduct about twice as long as the troton Aqucduut but it is mainly a surface aqueduct, there being only a little tunnel-work. A portion of tho aqueduct is mainly pipe line. The supply is from a reservoir formed, like that at Croton or at (Sodom, by building dam across a narrow gorge in a valley among the mountains in Wales. Tho dam is larger than that at Sodom, being 1H0 feet high, while that at Sodom Is only 78 feet Compared with the pro posed dam It will be small, as the new dam is to ho over two hundred feet high, and will be the highest dam in the world. The aqueduct tunnel, when compared with railroad tunnels, is a little smaller in diameter than the three most famous tunnels, but is very much longer. The lloosac Tunnel is only 24,000 feet long, the Mont Cenls is a miles long, and the St (iothard UJf miles long, while the new Croton Aque- duot as we have seen, is nearly SO miles long.

The Most llangeroue Anaesthetic Now employed bv Medical Man. A contributor to tho London Lartcet states that in the medical journals for the last ton year there are reported l'-iO (If not more) cases of death under chloroform. Many of these are vury im perfectly described, but in at least forty- nine caw tho patients were in good general health at the time ofadmlnls- tration, and required an natthotlo merely for the performance of soino minor operation; e. g., extraction of teeth (eleven case of death), reduction of dislocation (nlno case), eye opera tions, fistula) and so on. In some fifty nine case death occurred before the commencement of the operation, and so was clearly due to the chloroform alone. In alioiit twenty of the case it is noted Unit chloroform had been successfully given on previous occasion, in one as many as eight different times before tho fatal administration. It 1 evident from the foregoing that chloroform is uncer tain In Its action; that not only do peo ole din while under chloroform, but ,i I so from it; frequently, too, even when it is used by skillful bands. Of course, it Is possible to retort that "It was not properly given," which may bo correct This will not alter the fact Uiat these accidents provo chloroform to lc a powerful agent very dillloult tr idminlster properly; indeed, sodinlcult mil dangerous that it is scarcely suita ble for a routine amrstlietlc, when t rug less powerful for evil can replace it The nauseous flavor and the sense of suffocation from ether can bo entirely lone away with by the use of nitrous jxldo, and its inhalation made more tgreeable than even that of chloroform while tho patient quickly becomes un xinscious wltboutthe struggling so com mon with chloroform. The writer goes in to say: "1 have not yet found sin- ?lo patient who has once inhaled ether preceded by nitrous oxide complain of suffocation, or object to tako it again on the ground of its unpleasantness. The readiness with wltlch chloroform affects the heart the smallnes of a fa lal doso, and especially the case and suddenness with which such a dose can lie Inhaled, almost by a couple of deep Inspirations, will make it safe exhibi tion always difficult task to invariably accomplish. Having had many years experience, I have gradually come to believe ehloform to be less safe uiuus- thetlc than ether, HINTS FOR AMATEURS. Thing That Inexperienced Rportsmen Should Make Note Of. An excelent treatment for bullet wound is to wash the wound clean and (jovcr with clean muslin saturated with t solution of carbolic acid or alcohol.

Nature. Think Twice llcfore Writing-. It is always difficult to mako people appreciate tho fact which Is certainly a fact that things said in the black-and-white forcefulness and permanence uf a letter aro far moro offootlvo than ihey would have been If they had been spoken. Tho writer mount them just as ho would havo meant them had ho said them, and he does not in tho least re flect that, by tho lossof accent, look and goslure, tho thing ho wrlteH may lie widely different from the thing ho would have said. There havo been countless quarrels engendered by things written In ali innocence, and which would have had no such elfect hud they been deliv ered by tho living voice. People vent their petulance In word, and easily cor rect tho impression by following it with a smile of apology, a glanco thut soft ens, or a word which modifies. All of these things are, of course, wanting in the case of a letter. The words tell for their worst, and In the absenco of tho writer there is nothing to moderate the annoyance to which they give rise Liverpool Courier. How Diamonds Are Split. The dlumond has a grade of cleavage plune, the samo as most mineral or crystal Ino substances, and hence it is wslblo to split or divide ono Into two or more parts. Sometimes a large piece Is removed at once from a gem by split ting, but it is a process attended with much risk. To accomplish this mutter the stone Is carefully studied and its line of cleavage ascertained; it Is placed In hardened cement in the proper posl tion, and tho sharp edge of a steel chisel, resembling a razor, is carefully adjusted so that the division will be at Ihe points desired, and a sharp rap with a hnmmer is given It Perhaps no more costly mow may be struck In any mechanical work thun this, for in ma nipulating a large diamond, if it is un- skillfully given a gem of several thous and dollars' value may bo swilled.

And there came a certain poor widow, and sho threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto Him His disciples, and salth unto them: 'Verily 1 say unto you, that this poor widow bath oast more in than all they which have cast into the treasury. For all thoy did cast in of their abundance; but she of ber want did cast In all that she had, oven all bar living.'" Brooklyn Eagle. SENSIBILITYTO PAIN. It la Mora Developed in the Kervou Th-iii In the Muaniilar Type tif Men. In dealing with man we may roughly divide hlra into two main types the nervous and the muscular. Tho nervous type would lie represented by the man with an aetlvo, piercing eye; a face www features exhibit all t-hechamn-teristics of energy, intensity of thought and feeling; a narrow chest and badly developed muscles. In the muscular typo we should find the man with features ex hibiting a constant exprosslonof repose, with powerful und woll-developed limbs and slow of speech and movement Good examples of the one type might be found among our scholars and Btudents, of the other type among our agricultural laborers. These are ex treme cases; in some of us the musc-lo element predominates, in others the nervous. Hut the Important part is thut these types are not equally sensitive to pain. Any medical man, relying on bis own experience, would say that as a gen eral rule tho nervous type was far more sensitive than the muscular. Niimorous examples have occurred in the writer's own oxporlenco all pointing in th same direction; indeed, he has known men of tho muscular type under go the most painful operations who have ut the time exhibited no indications of suffering, and have on being questioned by him acknowledged that they did not feel much. Hut the evidence is even stronger in the case of uncivilized races, tho observations of all travelers pointing to the extreme Insensibility to pain ex hibited by savages. A good examplo was given In the Spectator a few months ajfo, when a correspondent related the fact that on the Introduction of boots into New Zealand the vanity of the natives was so great that when one of thorn was happy enough to become the possessor of a pair and found that they were too small he not hesitate to chop off a too or two, stanch tho bleed ing by covering the stump with a little hemp, and then force the feet into the boots. Other facta connected with diseases of tho brain may be cited in support of this suggestion that the more active und wide-awake the brain is the more sensi tive to pain does it become. In early inflammation of tho brain, when the amount of blood circulating through it is lurger than usual, it becomes ex tremely sensitive so much so that a bright lighloi- a loud soinulivos rise to actual pain, while at a later stage, when the circulation is much diminished, all these symptoms disappear, 'and the patient becomes less sensitive than when in health. Nineteenth I'entury. In making soup a porcelatn-lined soup-kettle is a great convenience; it should have a close cover to keep in tire steam and prevent evaporation. Cold, soft water should always be used, and salt should never be added until the soup is done, as salt has a tendency to harden water. In cool weather it is well to keep soup stock on hand, from which soup can be prepared in a short time.
