How Some Men Write.

Bancroft uses typewriter and sten- ographer, but he thinks 2j0 words good days work, and James G. Blaine thought he was doing well when he accomplished 1,500 words of morning. One of the fastest writers among the public men of today is Admiral Porter, whose brain works like the wheel of a dynamo throw ing off sparks at every turn, and whose pencil rushes across the paper at almost a telegraphic speed. Admiral Porter wrote his history of the United States navy in eleven months, and during this time his average was at least 75,000 words a month, or nearly 2,500 words day, in- cluding Sundays. The book is as big as dictionary and it contains from 700, ,000 to 800, 900 words. During many of these days he did not write at all, and his aver age during his working period ran as high as 5000 words day. Admiral Porter is fond of writing. He never uses anything now but lead pencil, and he says he cannot think well without he has his pen cil in his hand He had slight attack of pen paralysis once, and his hand re- fuses to act whenever his finger touches the steel of the pen. He began his novel writing for amusement, and he wrote "Allan Dare without any idea that ii would be published, much less dramatized. He stands up while writing, and, when he becomes interested, he works right along for hours at q stretch. George Ban- croft works only in the morning. Blaine did his best work before noon and Logan worke1 both morning and evening" Philadelphia Press.

A Wonderful W atch Dial.

A Gentleman connected with an Illinois watch company has a wonderfully curious watch dial. Instead of the Roman nu- morals to denote the hours, there are eleven small but very distinct silhouette figures, representing man out with his dog for a days sport. At o'clock he is seen start ing out with his gun and dog; at 8 o'clock he makes a shot; at o'clock he has a sandhill crane, which measures as long as himself; at 10 o'clock the man and his dog are scared at the sight of jack rab- bit, which is sitting upon his hind legs, with his big long ears raised above the bushes; at Ii o'clock the hunter takes a drink, and while in this attitude the dog sits in front of his master, with bis nose pointing directly at the flask at 12 o'clock the sportsman is seen sitting on stump and is eating a lunch-the dog is eyeing the piece of bread which the hunter has in his hand.
 At o'clock he starts out to fish the rest of the day, and so he takes his dog and fishing tackle and goes to the water; at clock the dog, which is behind his master, has been caught with the hook by an attempt to throw in his line; at OlOOh he dHu 'ie uO5 ~lc aAi oei eils5 5iieShoe' out again and the line is in the water; he has both hands on the pole, and his foot braced on a stump by the waters edge as though he had tremendous bite; at o'clock the man has got big fish on his line, which has pulled him off his feet, and he falls on the dog and doubles him all up, but the man is holding fast to the pole, which is bent almost double; at o'clock he is all strengthened out again; his | pole is thrown across his shoulder, and with his fish in the other hand he starts out for home, the dog following behind with his head hanging down, being tired out. The mans naml is also painted in the center of the dial n rustic letters. The figure VI is supe, :eled by the sec | onds.-Jewelry News.

Famous Names of Literature.

The famous names of current literature are symbolical of some particular fields of work. Speak of Tourgee, and weird tales Of the reconstruction period spring into mind; of Cable, and the Creoles live their peculiar lives before you. Mention Stevenson, and strange, half mystic ex- Pcriences are recalled; Howells, and real ism presents itself. ''Craddock'' is al- most synonymous with Tennessee moun- tains, ''Haggard' with ''South Africa, |" and Bret Hartc' with the mining camps of California. So the list may be ex- tended and we will find that in the case of almost every successful writer success has come along the channel of distinc- tive line of work consistently followed C N.

One hundred million dollars more than
Is needed is extorted annually from the
American people But this wrong, great
as 1t Is, Is slight when compared to the
tremendous evils which grow out of It,
The complete destruction of healthful bus
iness competition rendered possible by this
vicious system has resulted in growth OF
great private conspiracies against the pub
lie interest called trusts and monopolies,
and this is much greater wrong which
resulted from violation of the above
stated principle. No government has
right to levy cent more by taxation than
Is needed for Its economical administra-
tion; infinitely less has It right to main

one part of the community to rob the rest.
