MISCELLANEOUS.
Mrs Alex. McVeigh Miller is making a fortune with her thrilling love stories. She lives in a grand old country house, with tall columns and rambling piazzas, located near Stafford County, Virginia. Taken to bed for good, as she says, she does all her work on a pillow, which is placed on her breast as a rest for her writing-pad. She uses a pen, and during the thinking and resting spells throws ink all over the bedclothes. So accustomed has the helpless invalid become to the blue-back spots that a new, fresh counterpane is a hindrance to her work until it has been baptized in ink. From one paper she draws a salary of £l,OOO a year for her serials.
