GARRICK AND DIBDIN.
The former knew the value of money and did disgraceable things.
In 1783 Dibdin transferred his services to Drury Lane, where he had the usual disagreements with Garrick in regard to money matters. One would hardly be justified in applying the term "unscrupulous" to Garrick; but he undoubtedly knew the value of money better than those who served him, and it was not his fault if he got the worst of a bargain. Dibdin signalized himself at Drury Lane by his writing of the music for "The Paddock," and yet for his share in the work he received only £45, while Bickerstaff, the author of the words, got £1.70.
As he says himself, however, he was of an easy and credulous temper, and as we may say for him, he was also extravagant and improvident, being indeed a kind of Goldsmith of his profession. He parted with most of his early writings without proper agreements, and in consequence got handsomely chatted. His renowned song, "The Waterman," he sold for two guineas, "Nothing Like Grog," for half a guinea, and so on. Thus, while he was always working hard, his existence for the greater part of his career was little better than the hand to mouth one of the third rate professional.
Garrick seems to have found him of signal service at the Stratford jubilee, as well as at Drury Lane, yet they do not appear to have at any time pulled well together. The young composer had become indebted to the actor to the extent of £20, and he tells us that Garrick made him slave at writing for the Shakespeare celebration till "he had better gone to a Jew for the money." On one occasion the actor said to him apropos of his debt, "I can take down the pages that make this music," to which Dalbin replied, "Yes, as honest as you are."
At another time Garrick, having previously failed to satisfy Dibdin with some verses for music, produced the words of the rondeau beginning, "Sisters of the tuneful strain," and asked Dibdin if the piece would do. "Yes," was the reply, "it is tuned so musically that it sets itself. It is certainly the best you have ever written." The rondeau turned out to be by Jerningham, and if Dibdin was unaware of this fact he, at any rate, got credit for knowing it, for the famous actor never forgave him the honestly expressed opinion.
Garrick seems indeed, to have been a tiresome taskmaster, and with the consciousness of superiority in his own line, at least, Dibdin must have felt intensely annoyed at the constant mutilations to which his literary and musical work was subjected by the manager. This, however, may have had its good effect, though not exactly in the direction intended by Garrick. Irritated beyond measure by the frequent "improvements" made on his productions, Dibdin resolved to rely on his memory only in composition, and never to put his work on paper until all alterations had been agreed upon. Feeling certain...

Garrick seems, indeed, to have been a tiresome task master, and with the consciousness of superiority in his own line, at least, Dibdin must have felt intensely annoyed at the constant mutilations to which his literary and musical work was subjected by the manager. This, however, may have had its good effect, though not exactly in the direction intended by Garrick. Irritated beyond measure by the frequent "improvements" made on his productions, Dibdin resolved to rely on his memory only in composition, and never to put his work on paper until all alterations had been agreed upon. Feeling certain that Garrick "scarcely knew one air from another, and that his critics were mere affectation, he was accustomed to pretend to adopt them with a good grace. Then, waiting till next morning, he would play over the air exactly as it stood before, and receive great praise from Garrick for the docility of his supposed improvement." Not a bad plan, say we; there are, we suspect, quite a number of modern Garricks upon whom a trick of the kind might well be played, and with perhaps good results. — Gentleman's Magazine.
Not Dead, but Stranded.
"Drummers are capable of doing some sick things when they want to." The speaker was an ex-drummer, and he was speaking to a Savannah News reporter. "I know a young member of the 'profess,'" he continued, "who played a good one on a tobacco house in Savannah on one occasion.
"A severe hurricane passed over the southwestern portion of Georgia, and the young drummer happened to be down in that section at the time. The firm hero knew that he was there, and they were alarmed. They wired but were unable to get a reply to any of their dispatches, as the lines in that section were on the ground. The tracks were washed, and trains did not move for a week. The young drummer, failing to get word from his house, and being unable to leave where he was stopping, fell in with a company of young men, and had a royal big time.
"He had some prize sample cigars, and he opened box after box, and they were smoked up. He had a good deal of premium chewing tobacco, and the country boys helped him chew it. When the week ended he was without samples. During the excitement he did not stop to think in what a predicament he would be when he would start out with a score of empty grips. He 'stuck' by the town, enjoying himself with the boys until toward the end of the week, when he received a dispatch from the house reading like this: 'Are you killed? Wire particulars.' It flashed in his mind to put up a pitiful story, and he sent them this: 'Not dead. Escaped with my life. Samples gone; send more.' It was a great hit. The proprietors replenished the sample cases, and, in addition, sent their representative several boxes of fine Havanas for his own use."
The young man made his rounds on the extra, and came into the city as fresh as you please, receiving the congratulations of friends and the drunken.
Chemical Sugar.
It is generally known that chemists can produce in their laboratory from rags a substance very similar to sugar and having the same sweetening property. The Germans are, however, hard at work trying to produce artificial sugar on a large scale, and although its production for practical purposes has not yet been realized, considerable advance has been made, and a step has been taken toward successful results.

Chemical Sugar.
It is generally known that chemists can
produce in their laboratory from rags a substance very similar to sugar and having the
same sweetening property. The Germans
are, however, hard at work trying to produce artificial sugar on a large scale, and although its production for practical purposes
has not yet been realized, considerable advance has been made, and a step has been
taken toward successful results. Herr Emil
Fisher has succeeded in obtaining a true
sugar, which is capable of undergoing alolic fermentation by means of yeast, just
like ordinary sugar.
There is only one thing wanting in this
new chemical sugar which causes it to differ
from the natural sugar, and that is that it is
optically inactive; it will not rotate a beam
of polarized light either to the right or left.
They call this sugar "acrose." Glycerine,
that sheet anchor of so many recent investigations, is the starting point in the preparation of acrose, which must not be confufounded with "saccharine," which is not a
sugar and can never take its place as an article of diet. The discoverers of acrose are
sanguine of making a perfect sugar at no
distant day, and their work is watched with
interest by the scientific as well as the industrital and commercial world.—Detroit News.
How to Sleep.
Up to the fifteenth year most young people
require ten hours, and until the twentieth
year nine hours. After that age every one
finds out how much sleep he or she requires,
though, as a general rule, at least six to
eight hours is necessary. Eight hours' sleep
will prevent more nervous derangements in
women than any medicine can cure. During
growth there must be ample sleep if the brain
is to develop to its full extent; and the more
nervous, excitable or precocious a child is,
the longer sleep should it get, if its intellectal progress is not to come to a premature
standstill, or its life cut short at an early age.
