When Your Finger-Tip Taps the Key—What Happens? EKIEVI DE QUINCEY’'S WORKS. | Cheats Was Better Posted on Them | Than the Author Himsslf. ' Many years ago James T. Fields, the | publisher, was making a collection of | the writings of De Quincey. The es- | 88y8 were widely scattered in various { periodicals and were often hard to identify. Mr. Fields knew Rufus | Choate as a devoted student of De | Quincey and wrote him-one day ask- | ing his opinion as to a certain article. | Was it by De Quincey or not? Mr. Choate replied that it certainly was. There could be no mistaking the | | style of the piece. A few weeks later ! Mr. Choate received through Mr. Flelds a letter from De Quincey deny- ing absolutely and somewhat indig- ! nantly the authorship of the article. | But Choate was not of the stuff to i yield his opinion for a trifie like that. | He wrote to Mr. Fields: “I still believe that De Quincey wrote | the essay, De Quincey to the contrary 1 notwithstanding.” Doubtless Mr. Fields read the note | with a smiling comment, “That's just | ke Choate's confidence in his own ‘ Judgment!” i Months elapsed. One day there came | | % letter from De Quincey containing a humble apology for his previous blun- :der. By chance he had found in his desk the manuscript of the very article in question. Written as it had been years before, it had passed entirely | from his mind, “and you may tell your | young Boston lawyer,” he concluded, “that he knows my style better than I i know it myself.” The Ancient Oracles. Herodotus mentions between seven- ty and eighty oracles of one sort and another. There is no reason for think- | ing that the people who patronized | the oracles had other than the liveliest | faith in them. The two great oracles | were those at Delphi and Dodona, though there were several others that stood well with the people. The pre- dictions wére, of course, nothing but | predictions, since it is now generally understood that the promoters of those famous institutions were only ordinary human beings like those who patronized them. The deliverances of the oracles belong to one of two classes—first, those founded on secret information and, second, those in which the oracle had absolutely no | ideas on the subject and took refuge in sheer vagueness. It was the faith of the people rather than the infalli-| bility of the oracles that kept them, up so long. | Albrecht Durer’s Tankard. One of the quaintest of drinking ves- | sels is to be seen at the Bratwurstglock- | | lein, a Nuremberg inn which has re-| { mained unaltered since it was built in 1400. Sausages, sauerkraut and beer ! { are the only commodities obtainable, | ! amd the limit of accommodation is | reached when ten customers are pres- | i ent. Yet several fortunes have been | i made out of the house, for it was the| favorite haunt of Albrecht Durer, and{ the pewter he drank from is still treas- | ured. This is a double vessel, one| | tankard fitting neatly into the other.l and was reserved for Durer and his| | wife. According to tradition, when | ! the artist was in a good bumor be used to fill the inside tankard for his wife, | and they would clink lovingly together. : Wken domestic storms were brewing | he kept the tankards together and let | his wife go thirsty.—London Graphic. ' i Black Chocolate lcing. When a black chocolate icing 1s| wanted and there happens to be no| | chocolate in the pantry, cocoa can be substituted for it in the following man. | ' ner: Mix together six even tablespoon: | fuls of cocoa with five of sugar, one of butter and three of hot water. Cook the mixture until smooth and in the | right condition for spreading. Test ui | by putting a littie in a sauncer and set | | ting the saucer on an outside wmdnw! ! ledge or where it will cool quickly. | This jcing is rich and dark and not1 Tery sweet. { | i The Tailor's Chance. | “Weel, Tam, are ye gaun hame wi | your work?” was the invariable greet-| ing of a doctor to a tailor of his ac-| quaintance when he met him earrying | | a bundle. Once the taflor saw the doc- | , tor walking in a funeral procession. | *“Weel, doctor, are ye gaun hame wi'| rour work?" he asked.—Irom “Remi- niscences.” by Sir Archibald Geikie.
