How MIR. Lowell Worked.

MI. Lowell had, in a large degree,
the unmethodical habits that come
with genius. He abhorred details and
rules. He took up composition, cor
r%espondence, reading, physical exer-
else and other pursuits without the
slightest regard to order.
He was a prodigious reader, and
worked with all his might. The pro-
duction of any poem or essay Of
length was carried on at high speed
under severe mental tension, and at
the end he was mentally and phys
ically exhausted. 1t usually took him
a long time to recoverfrom the shock.
When at his literary labors Mrs.
Lowell and her daughter kept watch
owe him constantly, and by ingenius
devices broke up the continuity OF hif
work, and often preventedin this way
absolute prostration. Mr.. Lowell
favorite workshop was in one OF the
largest rooms at Elmwood.
He discarded desks when writing,
and used a pasteboard pad, which he
held on his knees. He thought long
over the plans of his poems and es.
says, and had the general outline fin.
ally fixed in his mind before putting a
line on paper.
Then he would first make a skeleton
of the subject and fill it up in detail
afterward. He was very careful in
composition, and every page of his
copy was filled with erasures and in.
terlinsations.-New York Journalist,

v BY A CIGAR.
A Sea Captain Saves His Crew by
Lighting a Cigar.

A Sea Captain Saves His Crew by
Lighting a Cigar.
1t is told of a sea-captain who died
not long ago that he was formerly
commander of a ship in which pas
sengers were carried from New York
to some of the islands. On one occa-
sion the ship took fire, and the pas
sengers and crew were compelled to
take hurriedly to the boats. The
captain remained perfectly cool
throughout all the confusion and
fright of debarkatiop, and at last
everyone except himself was got safe
ly into the boats. By the time he was
ready to follow, the passengers were
almost wild with fearand excitement.
Instead OF hurrying down the ladder
the captain called out to the sailors
to hold on a minute, and taking a
cigar from his pocket, coolly lighted it
with a bit of burning shroud which
had fallen from the rigging to his feet.
Then he descended with elaboration
and gave orders to push of.
CHOW could youstop to light a CT
gar at such a moment?" he was as ked
afterwards, when some of the pas
sengers were talking OF their escape.
"Because,"h he answered, "Isaw that
if did not do something to divert
the minds of those in the boat there
was likely to be a panic, and, over
crowded asst was, there was danger Of
is being upset. The act took but a
moment, but it attracted the atten.
ton OF everybody. You all forgot
yourselves, because you were think.
ing about my curious behavior, and we
got off safely"

HE KIN w.
It's AWfully Hard to Fool an Old
Fisherman, You See.


Fisherman, You See.
He was old and weatherbeaten. and
his clothes were the same, but there
was an expression OF supreme content
upon his tanned face as he sat on the
edge OF the wharf one afternoon
and let his legs dangle down. In his
mouth was a pipe that had been new
and sweet in the dear, dead long ago,
and in his right hand he held one end
Of a fish line. The other end was held
down upon the bottom of the river, q
long distance from the shore.
"Any luck, captain?" asked ayoung
man vino was strolling by. 1t is on
sidered the proper thing to call every
man along the river who is old and
weatherbeaten "captain."
~"Nope-they ant bitin' much to-
day."
"They don't bitemuch anyway these
days, do they?"
"Nop-not like they ulster. 'Tuseter
be so't l could come down here and
catch a basketful in maybe an hour
or So"
"That was quitelo ago, wasn'tit?"
"1ep, quite a spell ago. member
one time-hello!"
The old man had given his line a
vicious jerk and vas now all excite
ment.
Got a bite, captain?"
"Yep, an he's a whopper, too. I
amt quite sure whether I've hooked
him. Yep, there he is. l feel him a.
wigglin' on the line. He's a great, big,
striped bass"
All this was said in a sort of stage
whisper.
"How do you know what kind of a
fish it ISL"
"How do 1 know?" repeated the old
man, as he began slowly and deliber-
ately to haul in his line, and he threw
supreme pity for the ignorance i'm
piled by the question into his voice.
.How do l know? Why, young man,
l can tell jes' what kind Of a fish its
by the way he bites. Now, there's an
eel; he kind O makes little bites O.
pecks at yer line, an then he takes
holt an swims away with yer line
sort o. easy like. Then there's the
sucker; he jes' sucks yer bait, an ye'
can't hardly feel him pull. An then
there's the yellow perch; he takes holt
right away and swims away like a
streak"
"And how does the striped bass
bite?" interrupted the young man.
ooh, he monkeys around a whole
lot, and then he takes hold all of a
student and swims away stream.
| knowed righU away when this TELLER
took holt he was a striped bass. I
never make no mistake. L"
Just then the old mans catch came
to the surface. 1t was an old boot

REMARKABLE O
Good Memories of Some Of our
Great Men.

Great Men.
Memory" said old Fuller, the au-
thor OF the "Worthies," who himself
possessed a wonderful power Of rem
iniscence, "is the storehouse of the
mind, wherein the treasures thereof
L kept and preserved" 1t is I'M
questionably true that, as q rule,
great writer's have had memories of
more than ordinary tenacity and
range. The faculty OF Renaissance
feeds the fires of the imagination, and
keeps lucid and orderly the sequence
OF philosophic thought. How much
Milton, for example, profted by his
%prehensile and Trustworthy memory
is evident. Not only such poems as
"Lycidas," out "Paradise Lost" and
"Paradise Regained" are studded with
TRANSACTIONS and paraphrases OF ex-
quisite extracts from the classic poets.
We are told that Pascal never forgot
anything he had seen, heard or
thought. Avicenna could repeat by
note the entire koran, when he was 10
years old, and Francis Suarez had the
whole OF st. Augustine in his memory.
In three weeks, Scaliger, the famous
scholar, committed to memory every
line OF the "Iliad' and the "Odyssey."
Another scholar, Justus Lipsius, Of
fered to repeat the "Histories" OF
Tacitus without a mistake on forfeit
of his life. Charmides the Greek, nc
cording to Pliny, could recite the con-
tents OF every book in his library,
y,hioh ,yoc Inv, ,, N,oooc n cr,ol1 am
Walter Savage Lander also carried
his library in his head. When hehad
read a book he always gave it away
on principle, having, as he said, OBJ
served that with such a purpose in
his mind he was SURE to retain OF a
book all that was worth keeping. In
his old age Landos was furious if he
did not at nee remember any pass
age of a book, or any name or date
1t is we'll known that Macaulay's
memory was prodigious. He could
pass from the minutest dates Of
English history or biograpy to a dis.
cussion of the comparative merits o.
different ancient orators, and repeat
whole strophes from the Greek dra.
matists. He could rehearse every
Woiu vi every dfClcle lle Hdu WElCCeL
without prompting. OF M. de La
cepede, q we'll known French writer
on natural history, it is recorded that
he composed and corrected his works
from beginning to end before he wrote
them down. A similar practice is as.
cribed to Prescott, the American his
torian, who, it is said, used to com
pose and finish his narratives in his
mind before a word OF them was com
mitted to paper.
That man should be able thus to
store his own writings in his own
memory is harder to understand
than that he should recall the writ.
ings OF another because in the one
case every word is immutable, where.
as, in the other, nothing is absolutely
fixed. 1t is a significant fact that a
powerful memory is more generally
coveted than is either the imagina.
tive or the ratiocinative faculty. This
is apparently because a strong mem

not only in literature but in the con.

A VILLAGE poo BAH.
A Reporter Seeks Information In a
Sullivan County Settlement.

A Reporter Seeks Information in a
Sullivan County Settlement.
A reporter for the Sun seeking infor-
nation of a former resident, visited
Oakland Valley, Sullivan County, the
other day. While awaitingthe Month
cello train at Port Servis the reporter
inquired Of a group of loungers where
he would be most likely to obtain the
required information.
"When you get off the train" said
one man, "take the main road, andin
the first house to the right lives an old
fellow who al tell you allyou want"
"Id see the supervisor if 1 were
you," said another; che has held Of
flee nineteen years and knows every
body"
cor the postmaster. In those little
villages the postmaster knows every
body's business" suggested a third.
"Take the little path down the hill
and you'll come to a sawmill. Ask
the boss" was the next suggestion,
and it was followed by this:
"There's only one storekeeper in the
village; ask him."
The last one was: "Old Ben Case IL
tell you all you want to know"
AT the foot OF the very steep hill
leading from the railroad station the
reporter met a ine-looking, well-set-
up man in top boots, rough trousers,
a wooden undershirt, and q SLOUGH
hat, who in answer to an inquiry,
said he was Ben Case. He knew all
about the man the reporter was SEEK
ing, and gave the information freely.
AS there was no way OF leaving the
village until the next train, five hours
later, the reporter determined to visit
the other persons to whom he had
been directed. He thanked Mr.. Case
and walked to the sawmill and asked
to see the boss. The workman direct
ed him to the general store neal by.
There he met Mr.. Case again. In an
swer to an inquiry for the sawmill's
owner, or for the general storekeeper,
Mr.. Case replied: "They're me-"
AS it was unlikely that he could give
more information as general store
keeper and mill owner than he had al
ready given, the reporter asked to be
directed to the supervisor, and again
the reply, CHATS me-"
"You seem to be nearly everybody
here, Mr.. Case. Where shall l fndt the
postmaster? He may know more
than you've told me-"
"Waal, don't think so, but you
ask him if you like. Pm the post
master"
Unwilling to ask any more ques-
tions, the reporter started for the
white house to the right OF the road.
There two young women, busily en-
gagged in domestic duties, said their
father had gone to the store, but
would return in a few moments.
Would the visitor wait? The report
er waited and in about an hour the
Ubiquitous Mr.. Case arrived.
"Come, girls" he said, "I'm ready
for dinner. Lay q plate forthe strane-
lsr. HI wants to sss me bad"

been born for a throne on which you
may reign after the last monarch OF all

invite you to start now for your own
coronation, to come in and take the

lance. Through an imprisoned
prayer take heaven and all OF its rap

and beautiful enough and grand

Hints For The Garden And Orchard.

Hints For The Garden And Orchard.
For the convtniceein OF ladies' and
people who dislike to usethe ordinary
barnyard fertilizers, the following
substitute is recommended: Dissolve \
to z OF. sulphate OF ammonia in a
gallon OF water and apply once a
week to growingplants. Forpotplants,
gr%ape-vines, Strawberries, peas, and
dwarf pears, this solution has a
special value. 1t increases the size
OF flowers and foliage, and deepens
the color OF the latter to a healthy
green.
Strawberries set in the early autumn
may be expected to bear well the next
season. Those set ingood, rich ground
in the spring, get well established
and send out numerous runners
which may be made to take
root at nearly every Joint by being
held to the ground at these points by
bits OF dirt OF wood. Ii you want to
make the most OF this spreading tend
ency, plant two or three feet apart,
and pin the joints lightly to the ground
by small forked sticks.
For setting out grape.vines, prepare
the ground in the fall, and plant in the
spring.
AS many apple trees bear only on
alternate seasons, the following plan
is recommended for young orchards
On bearing year, remove the bios
sons or young fruit just after it has
set, from a part OF the trees, thus
changing the year OF these and increas
ing the prospect OF a crop from a part
OF the orchard every year. When thu
trees are young the work may be very
rapidly done with the help Of a light
s%tep-ladder and a pair OF shears.

TIME TABLE.
The Perfect Woman.

The New York Recorder is an able
newspaper and all that, but it carries
presumption too far when it informs
it's readers that a woman five feet
three inches tall should weigh 40
pounds and measure twenty-four in
ches around the chest, eight inches
around the forearm and so on.
Why should she do all these things?
Whence comes this ruler Is it, then,
that a woman OF five feet three inches,
who hasa twenty-five inch waist and
weighs but 1913 pounds, may not be
beautiful, healthy, strong and we'll

with callipers and tape line to choose
a wife?
