How Wilkie Collins Works.

"How do you work, Mr.. Collins, rap
idlyY'
@No, not very. Let me see. i write
about nine or ten pages Of a book a day
when | work regularly. Ii usually
takes me six months TO turn ont a book
after | get fairly started upon it. l.
work chiefly at night, and use very
largu-sizcd sheets OF paper, on which L
write very slowly, and cut II great deal.
Here, now, is tine manuscript of my last
story, The Black Robe lou see il is
scratched and worked over until it be-
comes scarcely d~ecipherable. The
printer can read it, however, even if you
can't at n glance
/ couldn't read il at a glance, and l
am not sure that | could read il at all.
And vet | have read letters written by
John w. Forney, and made ont what
Horace Greeley was irving 20 write. IL
wa cut, interiined, the determinations
interlined again, sentences written on
the side and hauled into place by a line
around them. and erasures which looked
as though the writer, in trying to scratch
out something, tried also to push il out
through the paper on the other side.
There were blots everywhere.
1T is a pretty good days work for
me to get through three of these pages
in a day.
Three of his pages would make about
1000 words; or, say, two-thirds Of the
c,,aaa ,f tbiS column
when | come to the last / get the
fever on, and | make the pages fly. Then
i am in q way, and | write and write till
nature either stops me or | finish.
When | came near the end of Man and
Wife, l wrote away for dear life some
twelve OF fourteen hours, without fur
theg rest than the exercise i took when
/ got on the floor TO act ny situations
and represent my characters, and no
further refreshments than a little dry
champagne and a few frissoles.'
DO you always act your characters
"Yes. invariably. ! have 10 consider
what they would do, and how, before
! try TO tell for q certainty how, under
given circumstances, they would he
have. Finishing a book like that al
ways exhausts me very much. Lon

Turning Mud,

"a curiosity" said Rev. a. s. Lldd,
If Auburn, 'tnat has struck Inc with
much interest is this: 4 few days ago
! visited a friend on Muuioy Hill,
Portland, and | was much interested
in one fact that my friend mentioned
10 me, and / think your readers viii
be somewhat interested also. My
friend Mr., Alfred Tuckwcll is an En-
glishman, lie has recently bought a
new house near the eastern promenade.
''This part of the city has been n
common for the paSturagc Of cowsand
a playground for children and a slun-
tering place for lovers until within the
last few years. But now il is being
rapidly covered with pleasant DWELL
ings and aiIorss some Of the pleasant
est localities for homes in all the city.
Now ] come to tho Interesting Incl
dent. In his cellar and in his garden
Mr. 7. found n large bed Of peat Of cx
cenent quality. This winter he digs
it out Of his cellar, and without any
drying, mingled with coal, IL burns
readily aud makes an excellent fuel.
lie dumps his ashes in where he takes
his peat out, and when the supply is
exhausted hc proposes 10 cement the
cellar. He thinks he has enough in
his garden 10 last several years. ] am
not sure that a Yankee would have
thought Of burning such mud ~

IoDpeyity OF Insects,

II is well known that Sir John Lub-
book has shown how long insects may
live when kept out Of harms way.
Tho greatest age attained by any in.
sect, 50 far as is known, is that reached
by the queen Of an ant Formica
fusca), which lived in his care until
Aug. 8, 1855, when she must have
been nearly 10 years old. Another
queen OF the samo species died at the
advanced age OF over 10 years. He has
now a queen Of another kind Of ant
QAsius niger, which is more than 0
years old. and still lays fertile eggs
which produce female ants. New Or

The following will be of interest
to ladies in their first attempt at deco
rating their own china. An amateur
advises
Learn first to mix the paint to the
right consistency If too thick it will
not flow readily from the brush, but
will come OFF in Jumps or streaks. If too
thin the work will look weak and
washed out. A penknife is an excel
lent thing to have at hand, with it a
broad or uneven line can be scraped
and fined down to suit. Rub two pieces
of fine sand-paper together till much
of the .roughness is taken off, and
with these carefully rub your work
after it has been fired; this will
helghten the polish. Use more fiux
with colors on eartbenware than on
china. Greens and browns in china
colors can be mixed very much a.
in oil colors, but it should be remem-
bered that they brighten with firing.
Yellow eats out red when fired.

From time immemorial. dreams
have been the wonderland Of waking
hours. Hope and fear have wrought
them into their own fabric. Super
sutton has seized upon them and
worked up curious ritual of "dreams
that go by contr;,ries," of "dreams ot
the morning light" A French ply
siologist caused many curious exper,-
ments to be- made ON himself during
sleep. These experiments took the
form of triAing physical sensations,
which produced almost invariably IA
wonderfully exaggerated effect on the
sleeping mind. Thus a feather tick
ling the lips was conyerted into the
horrible punishment of a mask Of
pitch being applied to the face. A
bottle of cologne held TO his nose sent
him into dream of a perfumer's shop
ia Caro-. A pinch on the neck re-
called the days of his boyhood and
the old family physician applying a
blister to that region. Scientific
writer's admit that there is a type Of
dream in which coming physical dis
ease or disaster is shadowed forth
some bodily sensation, perhaps too
slight To be noticed by the subject
when awake, yet contrlving to impress
itself in some symbolic form on the
sleeping mind. The mere striking
Instances Of this sort may serve to ex-
plain how, in some lesser degree, cer-
tain symbols are likely to attach them
selves to certain painful sensations or
conditions, until at last they are finally
accepted as mysterious presages of
evil. Conrad Gesner, the eminent
mai uralist, dreamed that he was bitten
on the left side by a venomous ser
pent. In short time severe car
buncle appeared on the very spot ter.
minating his life in the space Of three
days. 1t most singular fact that
under certain combined conditions of
fatigue, discomfort, and malaria,
whole bodies of en-such as com
panies of soldiers--have been seized
by the same terrific dream, and have
awakened simultaneously, shrieking
with terror. Such an instance is re-
lated by Laurent, when, after forced
march, 800 French soldiers were
packed in ruined Calabrian monas-
terry which could i'll accommodate half
that number. At midnight, frightful
cries issued from every corner of the
building as frightened men rushed
from it, each declared that it was the
abode of the evil one-that they had
seen him, i'll the form of big black
dog, who threw himself upon their
breasts an instant and then disap-
peared. The men were persuaded to
return to the same shelter on the
next night, their officers promising to
keep watch beside them. Shortly
after midnight the same scene was re-
enacted-the same cries, the same
fears, the same flight, as the soldiers
rushed forth in body to escape the
suffocatlng embrace of the black dog
The wakeful officers had seen nothing.

A big cave has been struck in the
Copper Queen mine Arizona. The
cave is reported to be of mammoth
dimensions and is supposed to be ful,
of metal, but no outsiders are allowed
to enter or explore it. That work is
being done by the owners-the explor
alton work, All that is known to out
siders leaked out through the miners
who tapped the cave They say they
saw no end to it, and that there were
seen by them near where they cut into
it several huge green stalactites-prob-
ably malachite.

S. M. Streeter, arrested in Elko
County for incest, is gray headed
man between 60 and 20 years of age,
who for many years has been prom
inent and wealthy citizen of Lamoilie
valley. He is now, or was at the time
of his arrest, living with his third wife,
comparatively young woman, by
whom he has several small children.
The crime with which he is charged
is criminal connection with one of his
daughters by his second wife, a young
girl perhaps l6 years of age. 1t is also
charged that when he found her III n
delicate situation he took her to San
Francisco, and placed her in hospital
under an assumed name, where in due
time she became the mother of child
by her own father. These are the
charges; and the evidence was such as

A blll concerning libel has passed
both houses of the Territorial Assem-
bly, of New Mexico. This bill makes
it libel for person to read aloud
from n newspaper. anything dereg-
atory to the good or bad name of an
other. and the punishment for such
reading is to be heavy fine and inn
piisonment for good long term. The
Governor of New Mexico will veto the
bill, but we do not think he should.
A man who reads aloud from news
paper is not the kind to be encouraged.
Every man should take his own news
paper and read it quietly IN corner
all by himself, aud all his neigh
bors ought to take newspaper, and
not get their news from man reading
aloud.
