A writer in tho Atlantic Monthly thus narrates her impressions of the almost uninterrupted daylight of a Norwegian summer : One comes actually to yearn for a littlo Christian darkness to uro to bed bv. - tj . much as he may crave a stronger sun by day, to keep him warm, he would like to nave a reasonable night-time for sleeping. At first there is a stimulus, arid a weird sort of triumphant sense a... 1 ' A.. 1" .. of outwitting nature, in nnaing one s self able to read or to write by the sun's light till nearly midnight of the clock. But presently it becomes clear that the outwitting is qn tho other side. What avails it that there is light enough for one to write by at ten o'clock at night, if he is tired out, does not want to write, and longs for nothing but to go to sleep ? If it were dark, and ho longed to write, nothing would be easier than to light candles and write all night, if ho chose and could pay for his candles. But neither money nor ingenuity can compass lor mm a normal darkness to sleep in. The Norwegian house is one-half window; in their long winters they need all the sun they can get ; not an outside blind, not an inside shutter, not a dark shade, to be seen ; streaming, flooding, radiating in and around about the. rooms, comes tne lignt, welcome or unwelcome, early or late. And to the words " early " and " late " there are in a Norway summer new meanings : the early light of tho sum mer morning sets in about half-past two ; the late light of the summer even ing fades into a luminous twilight about eleven. Enjoyment of this species of perpetual day soon comes to an end. After the traveler has written home to everybody once by broad day light at ten o'clock, the fun of the thing is over ; normal sleepiness begins to hunger for its rights and dissatisfaction totca .ba nlnnA of wonderinz amuse ment. This dissatisfaction reaches its climax in a few days ; then, if he is wise, the traveler provides himself with several pieces of dark green cambric, which he pins up at his windows at bed-time, thereby making it possible to a at tha BAvn nv fiiffht hours' rest for his tired eyes. But the green cambric will not shut out souncts ; ana ne is lucky if he is not kept awake until one or two o'clock every night by the un ceasing tread and loud chatter of the cheerful Norwegians, who have been liwn'aA trt fnrm t.bfi habit of sit tin fir no half their night-time,' to gat in the course of a year tneir tun quon 01 day time.

"No, sir, I will not give you a word about the dimples, if you wish to place my name in connection with it. It has been done before, and I am adverse to newspaper notoriety," savagely retorted a physician as a New York News re porter introduced himsef and the object n( bin TnisRi'nn. "But," outbroke the Burgeon, as he cast a smile of confidence toward the invader, and a larger smile, without dimples, spread over the reporter's countenance, "I will give you all the facts if yon agree to not mention my name. I do not wish to make a spe cialty of dimples ; and if it becomes pubiicaly identified with my name through the press, I might spoil my best surgical and medical practice." Agreeing to his demands, the physi oian then told all in relation to the manufacture of dimplrs. "You see," he - commenced, after throwing himself comfortably back in an easy arm-chair, "Mrs. D. about two weeks after her engagement to her present husband, became the victim of a small abscess on the very middle of her right cheek. It looked remarkably repulsive, and to some might create the impression that it would end in disfig uring her pretty face for life. She came to me to havo it removed. I began the operation and soon had it completed, but at this time one great, obstacle presented itself, to the young lady's great sorrow. She would have a sjnall scar on her cheek, which would alpays appear like a pisthl-shot wound. She tnid mo bor intended had not seen her since she had the abeess, and as he was not to come back until a fow days be fore tuoir wedding, if he beheld this scar it might hurt his feelings very much. I told her nothing could be done, but a few minutes after she smiled about some remark I made, and then I noticed the scar in her cheek sunk in the folds of the skin, and witn tb ovoontinn of a little ouckcrinff, ap peared exactly like a dimple, and, in- deed, added to mane ner iaue tuo wuio agreeable. . fil "I then concluded if the slight rough flesh could be removed around the scar by a simple operation, so as io cause it to disappear f 10m view and sink into the folds of tho skin and face more properly, it would tnen De lurnea mw a real artificial dimple, as good and per- feet in every respect asv wie uay set there. Of, course theOperation was performed on both cheefcs, tho lady being under the influence of an anses thetic. I carefully watched develop ments and had tLe young lady call with i ii. fn baa ma reffularlv. and in a short time I found the dimples were i.l.itn BTirnfiSS." ' "How is the operation done?' mter- tVio writer. "A slip of muscular tissue is removed from tho main muscle of tho cheek be tween tho masseterand the aygomatio major muscles. After administering the anaesthetic, a keen-edged little in strument is brought into requisition, and with this the delioate but deep in cision is made which finishes the operation. "After this young lady got her dim ple, X almost immediately had like calls from several ladies wno nad moie marks, burns, and other scars on their faces, which tney desired to nave re moved and replaced with dimples. Some of them I refused to operate upon. " They nearly all desired to have the dimples to make them better looking. I told them they could never have their 'faces changed after having dimples put in, and that they would stay in forever, but these warnings only made them more anxious. When I first commenced work on the dimples I expected to hear no more about it after Mrs. D.'s case, out she has told me since that everyone Wbn know nlm novel' hod them before annoyed her almost to death to find out how she got them. m Via " hon i hart a call lor a verv ueau iiful woman on Madison avenue, whoso features were as perfoot as an idea atnt.no. i hocrrrftri nf nor not to nave tne eneration ner formed, as already her face was beautiful without additions.

"How much does it coat for a pair of dimples?" "Well, it's according to the troumo five dollars, anal others may be fifty or one hundred." "Is there any chance of dangerous trouble to some of the muscles of the face that might result in perma nently disfiguring a person for life ?" "Well, I cannot say there is ; if there was, a physician would be taking desperate chances in his business, and, in fact, that is one of the reasons why I myself do not wish to strongly advocate the dimple operation, and do not in tend to allow it to become a specialty with me." The reporter left the physician, promising if ever ho was shot through both cheeks by a cannon ball to call back and undergo the operation at half-price. FINDING LOST CARS, " , Poetical Dunning, Tn fianrtra P HTnn-ic ond W. P. Willis were conducting the Home Jour nal. Both of these gentlemen were poets and of course their whole char acters partook of the gentle nature of creatures of that ilk. But they pub lished their paper for money and then as now, there were delinquent sub scribers. Neither Willis nor Morris had that business sense that would lead them to amass fortunes and were not rough enough to cry out to those indebted to them: " Here, you ! Pay me that $2 you owe me!" or, "Pa up or we'll stop your paper !" They approached 1 their debt ors in a gentle manner, putting the matter in what might be called a po etic light. Their announcement in a paper of tho year named with the end in view of,; having its delinquent sub scribers pay, deserves to be called one of the curiosities of literature, and we can imagine Willis Bitting oowa to write it with only the pleasantest feel- .1 1 1 .JlMnflAH Tf ings toward an waom nuuimnoo. -. is headed " Have you forgotten?" and begins "Not to you, we hope," proceed ing as follows: Pear reader, are wo oDiigea to aa--1wn;h -rnn this reminder that the tri fling remittance of $2, duo to tho Home Jovrnal, is still unsent. ou nave reaci of the just-minded Persian, who, going intn bi ornrdon exclaimed: "Hast thou grown, Oh vine, while I have slept?

Travelers up and down any b'ne of railway having a terminus in this city are in the habit of seeing daily hun dreds of fugitive freight cars extending in broken lines along the side of traoks and reaching many miles out of the city. They belong to a hundred dif ferent railway companies, each car bearing the initials of the proprietary road, and in the general office of that company, whether it be in New York, Pittsburg or San Francisco, there are records which show just where that ear is standing and why it is there. For instance, if the car is detained an un- wnrrantad lonctb nf timo at Gnrman- town junction the Pennsylvania railroad receives a "searcner eitner oy teiegrapn or train service, asking why the car is not sent home."
