FAMOUS WRITERS CURIOUS. MISTAKES.
Like Cruden, the compiler of the Bible Con
cordance, who styled himself "Alexander the
Corrector," writes a contributor to the Dundes
Advertiser, Dr. Brower had a passion for point. ing out the mistakes made by eminent men. Some of his corrections are quite as amusing as the error of which he complains. In bis article on "Errors of Authors" he pillaries numerous posts, from Spencer to Tennyson, and many novelists, from Cervantes to Dickens,
who have slipped into inadvertent blunders which the eagle eye of Dr. Brewer has detect. ed. Here, for example, are a few of the mis-

la "The Fortunes of Nigel (chap. xxxii) Lord Dalgarno speaks of that happy period "which begins with 'Dearly Beloved, and
ends with amazement; but in the time of
James I. the marriage service did not end with "amazement."
In his Antiquary" (chap, x) he speaks of "the philosopher who appealed from Philip inflammed with wine to Philip in hus hours of sobriety," This "philosopher" was a poor old
'woman.

In "The Betrothed" (time Henry II) be-Devongue, tor Amoy. speaks of the "Bishop of Gloucester;" but there was no such bishop till 1541, which was in the reign of Henry Vill
Benledi, for Kobsichang. Chowtai, for Bangkok. Zoroaster, for Yokohama, Candia, for Singapore,
In "Ivanhoe" (chap. xxvii) he makes "Wamber the jester say, "I am a poor bro-flanel, for Hoihow, ther of St. Francis," but that order was founded in 1206, and "Wamber lived in the reign of Richard I (1189-99)."
Here Dr. Brewer slips himself into an error, for the jester was not " Wamber" but" Wamba, the son of Witless."
Again, in "Ivanhoe," the "mank of Croydon" should be the "moak of Croyland."
In chap vit the Christine name of Malvoisin
is Richard, elsewhere it is Philip, ».
Dr. Brewer has failed to note the well known error in the Heart of Midlothian" in which Scott transforms the peninsula of Reseneath into an island. The blunders made by Dickens are comical, fü "Little Dorrit" the girl Tat- tycoram enters" with an iron box two feet square under her arm. In "Nicholas Nic- kloby" the boys at Dotheboys Hall are set by Squeers Via hoe turnips" in the winter time. Sir Archibald Alisun (whose name Dr. Brewer misspelled as "Allison ") in his " Life of Lord Castereagh," says "Sir Peregrine Pickle was one of the pall-bearers of the Duke of Well- ington." He meant Sir Peregrine Maitland, Shakespeare affords a rich crop of blunders, which proves that "to err is human."

Dealing with the magic of the natives, Pro- fessor Spencer said that the aborigines believed that by performing certain ceremonies, gener- ally letting the blood flow from their arms, they can cause the increase of the animal that served as their totem. And, while throughout the greater part of the year a member of, say, the kangaroo totem might not eat kangaron Resh, yet, when performing the ceremonies which he believes will result in the increase of the kangaroos, he may eat of their flesh. In the rain ceremonies, knowing that after a dry season rain frequently follows the appearance of the plovers (pilpilpa), the native imitates the cry of the plover, trusting that Nature will he deceived and rain follow. The aborigines are firm believers in magic, and very few may ap- proach the spot believed to be the home of their totem. If a native chant over a magic stick, pointed in the direction of his enemy, it is be lieved that his enemy will die. Deaths from disease are accordingly auributed to the use of the magic stick, and the imaginative native. on learning that a magic stick has been painted at him, will often sicken with fright, and per haps die. A girdle made from the hair of a dead man confers upon the wearer the virtues of the deceased, and adds to the wearer's effi. cacy in fight. By magic the natives hold that they can drive away comeis and ect pses, and cause rain, unless a stronger counter magic is used. The medicine men are consequently treated with great respect. When a native is dying the women and other men throw them. selves on the body. After death his body is placed upon a platform erected on a tree, and the camp deserted. When the medicine man has determined the enemy whose magic has Mr. and Mrs. Tscherneski, Mis. Tscherkosche caused the tribesman's death, a punitive expe-aira and child, Messrs. Tscherpanoff, W. H. dition is formed, amid strange ceremonies. Walsh, Wasilieff, Wessels, R.

For perhaps a year after the death a native will ascend the tree where the grave is, and ask the spirit of the dead man whether the time has come for the performance of the faal ceremonies. If it has, all the bones save one are collected, portion of an ant-hill remov. ed, the bones placed there, and the top of the ant-bill replaced, so that the last resting-place of the banes might be concealed. A fortnight laler, amid mystic ceremonies, the remaining bone is broken and buried, and a small stone placed over it. By these means it is believed that the spirit of the dead man, which has dwelt in the tree among the dead inan's bones, is laid to rest, and vanishes into the past ages.

Mrs. Humphry Ward guards her private life jealously, and is said to be the only author of note who has never granted an interview. She is very reticent even among her friends as to her methods of composition, but the following secrets, said to have been revealed by her recently, are given in a fate.

Samarang 27th Aug,, Sugar-Man Fat & Or, if you are in a stemer mood, you see all Co. the forces of the pit unchained about your poor puppets. A shipwreck, a railway accident,. some new discase with a long name-you write it down inexorably. But then you begin your work. And after a little while, as your grip, tightens, as your characters come out of the mist, they begin to make themselves, to shape their own story. Your idea remains if it had any virus. Often one looks back with a strange thrill to see how near the thought of the end has been to the thought of the begin ning. But on the way it has taken to itself a score of fresh forms and developments.."
