Tho Writer A Ha writes.

When you Just begin to be an author the
sight Of the blank sheet of paper gives you
an appetite instead of depriving you Of It.
You long to be at work and cover it with ink
marks. A new writer not only enjoys writ
ing, but rewriting also; have known authors
who will copy out piece, over and over
again, until the page appears without an
srasu-o. That is not bad thing by way of
practice and would no doubt be advocated
BY the printers. But it is not likely to be
kept up more than two or three years. After
that the writer knows what he is going to
write before he writes it; he has learned the
art OF putting the contents of his mind di-
recriy on the paper; besides, he has not the
time to make copper plate reproductions Of
bis work. He is more apt to put it off TO the
last practicable moment, and then to do it as
rapidly as he can. And by and by it will DO
hksome to him to do it at all and he will
wish that fortune would present him with
years vacation, during which he could lie on
his back and do nothing
There Is period in the writing of every
book when 1t seems impossible it should ever
be finished. What has gone before seems bad,
and what is to como is either blank, or it
promises to be worse than the beginning. An
apathy, a paralysis, settles upon the worker;
he wishes he had taken up butchering or
liquor selling for living Every day that
he postpones the completion of his task It Gp-
pears more hopeless; his mind is gloomy, his
conscience oppressed; he haunts his study,
but effects no more than a ghost might; he
draws pictures on scraps of paper, reads
books that do not interest him, or even plans
out work that can only be executed at some
indefinite future opportunity, at last his
final moment OF grace expires, and he sits
down In desperation and plunges MS pen into
the inkstand. The work goes on, and then
he wonders how he could have imagined any
difficulty. The word 'Finisp is written, and
he experiences an uplifting of the spirit
Thackeray, according to all accounts, was
subject to distressful periods of this kind /;
but he declares, in one of his essays, that
after finishing given book il was his custom
always to begin another before going to bed
In the mood Of reactionary lightheartedness
following upon his depression. Julian Haw-

Driving Out tho cattlemen.

Immigration is coming with resistlcss
tda Ex-Governor Routt, one of the great
cattle owners of the west when speaking of
how the ranges were being so rapidly set
tied, recently said 1.-THE COW must give way
TO Nancy and the baby Tho first indica-
tion OF the coming Of this great tide of i'm
migration was manifested by cattlemen put
ting up wire fences and inclosing vast areas
Of land This sufficed for time, but immi-
grafton still continued, and then after much
litigation the courts said: sTake down your
wire fencesn AS the cattlemen occupied
these great ranges for quarter of a century
before it was ever thought possible for them
to have any vnlue for agricultural purposes,
It Is not strange that they should have made
the determined fight they have. The plow-.
share now glistens in the old American
Desert" and the old cattle trails are being
turned into farms The east can hardly
realize the wonderful changes that are TAX
ing place. Within twenty-five years the
buffalo, which used to roam these plains by
the tens Of thousands, are almost extinct.
The great herds Of the cattle kings took the
place Of the bison, but now the cattle ranges
are being turned into farms.
What will be the RESULT The general i'm
preston is that there will be more cattle, but
with more owners. The public domain will
soon all be taken, which will necessitate the
dividing and subdividing of the great herds.
The result will come about in natural way
and without loss, but rather with profit. As
the grazing area becomes more circumscribed
the greater the necessity for winter feeding
and the production Of some kind of feed that
win moro readily prepare stock for the
market Such feed consists of alfalfa,
sorghum hay, JOHNSON and other varieties of
farm grasses, oil cake, roots, ETC., while in
parts Of western and southern Texas priclxly
pear "a species Of csctD is being largely used
with cotton seed meal or oil cake, with
which 1t is claimed cattle may be easily fat

said to DO of a most excellent quality and
flavor. Denver Cor Globe Democrat

EFFECTS OF CITY LIFE.
Lack OF Arm and Shoulder Exercise
nazaar& fr1saa-ct. 0ngr

lack OF Arm and Shoulder Exercise--In-
cessant Noise-ShoclS.
An English physician of distinction, DR..
Walter B. Platt, contributes to The Popular
Science Monthly a suggestive paper on GER
tain Injurious Influences of City Lifen He
confines his observations to these points: %
The disuse Of the arms for any considerable
muscular exertion by the great majority Of
enen and women. q The incessant noise of
large city. O. Jsrring Of the brain and
spinal cord by continual treading upon pave
ments.
The erect OF these influences, according &c
DR.. Plat, is to undermine the stability Of
the nervous system and to impair the circu-
lation and general nutrition. These effects
accumulate with each successive generation
Of city dwellers, and it is asserted that there
are very few families now living in London
who, with their predecessors, have resided
there continuously for three generations
In regard to the lack of arm and shoulder
exercise, the doctor points out that it has an
important bearing on the general health of
both men and women, since it increases the
capacity Of the chest and thereby the surface
Of the lung tissue, so essential to the proper
publication of the blood. In the city the
mass of people can only get this benefit
through gymnasium work, or some form Of
home exercise, like pulling weights, dumb
bells or Indian clubs The writer insists
upon arm exercise as necessary to perfect
physical condition and to the prevention of
nervous irritability and consequent mental
disorder.
The injurious effect of incessant noise as
an irritant to the nerve centers has been
demonstrated by experiment, as well as con-
hrrned by observation. A large share Of this
noise in the residential portions Of cities is
unnecessary. and should be stopped. ssThe
loud ringing of church bells at all hours Of
the day and night, in this age, when every
ono knows the hour of service, hardly recon-
mends the religion of good will to men, says
the doctor. Streets of residences should be
paved with asphalt underground roads
should supplant elevated structures, and all
unnecessary noises of street traffic and vend-
ing should be forbidden.
To prevent the shock to the brain and
spinal cord caused by the jar Of walking on
brick or stone the doctor suggests an elastic
rubber boot heel. In this country very little
heed is paid to the nerves Of the people; they
are lucky to escape with their lives from tho
many perils. But anything that tends to
make city life more agreeable and beautiful
ought certainly to be encouraged New

VERMONT SUPREME JUDGES

The most important event of the pres
ent session of the Legislature since the
Inauguration of Gov. Dillingham; was
the electioni Thursday of Judges of the
Supreme Court. The two houses met in
Joint assembly this morning Lieut..
Gov Woodbury. presiding. For Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Represen-
tatiye Charles p. Edstock nominated the
present incumbent, Hon. Homer E,
Royce of St, Aloans, seconded by Senator
Stranahan of Franklin county and
others, and he was elected by UiUd
UOce vote, The reelection of Chief JUS
tice Royce by unanimous vote OF the
General Assembly is a deserved recogni-
ton of his distinguished judicial services
and eminent legal ability. In view OF
the opposition made to Judge Royce's
reelection by Franklin county boilers In
1884 and 1886 his unanimous election by
the Legislature this year in particularly
gratifying. Judge Royce, although in
his sixty ninth year, is in good physical
health, and his mental faculties are as
strong and keen as ever. He was first
elected Judge of the Supreme Court in
1870 and succeeded the late Chief Justice
Pierpontin 1882. The following Assistant
Judges were also chosen by UiUd Uoce
vote and with the same unanimity as
Judge Royce: Hon. Jonathan Ross of
st. Johnsbury, Hon, II, Henry Powers
of Morristown, Hon. Wheelock G, Yea
sey of Rutland Hon, Russell Taft of Bur
lington, Hon. J. w. Rowell Of Randolph
and Hon. James NJ. Tyler.of Brattleboro.
Since the legislative session of 1885 there
has been a change in the Office Of Sixth
Associate Judge caused by the rseigna-
ton of Hon. William II. Walker Of Lud-
low, The vacancy thus created was
filed bv the appointment of ex Congress
man James NJ. Tyler of Barttleboro'.
Judge Tyler has given excellent satlsfac-
ton on the Bench, and his election Thurs
day as Assistant Judge OF the Supreme
Court is a merited honor.

A HALT CALLED.

The Journal has this note about
matter which concerns US:
when the Senate bill four, in rela
ton to the dedication of the Bennington
Battle Monument, came before the
House, Elk Coy, Proctor arose and said
that although not personally opposed to
the bill, he should not feel that he was
true to his duty as member of the
Ways and Means Committee and OF the
House, if he allowed the bill to pass
without saying a word in reference to
the appropriations that were likely to be
made by the Legislature. He said that
the financial condition of the State, tho
in the main satisfactory, was not such
as to warrant the Legislature in making
too numerous appropriations. There
was likely to be large call for outlay
by the present Legislature. The Sol
der's Home, the insane asylum, and the
report of the normal school commission
ers, all called for appropriations. There
was also likely to be an outlay called
for by the University of Vermont and
State Agricultural College, the school
legislation and the militia hill, If pass
ed. Governor Proctor said that he
hoped some means might be found Of
increasing the revenues without putting
additional burdens on the people, He
said he wished the friends of the meas
ure would consent to postpone its con-
sideration for two years,or at least until
later in the session, when all the meas
ures calling for appropriations could be
considered together, The Governors
remarks were received with applause.
On motion of Mr.. Ballard, the bill was
then ordered to lie,
