How Authors Work.

An ingenious reporter has been inter-
viewing a number of celebrated authors
to discover what are their habits and at
titudes while writing. M. Alphonse
Daudet, he tells us, smiles maliciously;
M. Emile Zola repeats in loud voice
the phrase which is at the tip of his pen;
NJ. Edmund de Goncourt moves his lips
as if he were eating; NJ. Jules Lemaitre
strokes his mustache with his left hand;
M. Renan looks in the palm of his hand,
as if to find inspiration there; NJ. Ludo-
vic Halevy looks up to the ceiling to col
lect his thoughts; NJ. Meilhac puts his
head into his hands to mediate; M. Jean
Richepin taps on his desk when he is in
want of a phrase; NJ. Francois Coppee
lights cigarette while searching for a
rhyme; M. Henri Bornier scratches his
head; NJ. Emile Bergerat whistles; NJ.
Jean Rameau, when he is writing verses,
seems to be thinking of something else,
and finally NJ. Georges Ohnet appears
to be thinking of nothing.

What the baton Was For.

The Marine band was playing. The
people were thick; the flies also. Di.
rector Sousa was standing on his little
platform waving the magic baton, and
naturally, from his elevated position, he
was the cynosure of all eyes.
Among the crowd who had gathered
to hear the concert We're two old col
ored ladies, apparently from the way
back districts and evidently unaccus-
toned to such sights. One of them cast
her eyes upon John Philip and inquired
of her companion;
"Honey, whad you 'spose dat man
doin up dere wavin dat stickY

contemptuously, "he's shooin off de flies,

desuctudc." Is this right Is
this public spirit of the right kind,
worthy Of the citizen and the
man? And is it such service to
our town as to merit reward by
public recognition, in any manner
whatever? Do other towns offer
any better inducements to the in
vcStment of capital than our
own? If so, then we can find
some excuse for our home capital
going abroad. Let us see, in the
first place "charity begins at
home,' and the desire to build
up our town and TO increase the
value OF our own property, there
by, should more than Offset any
advantages offered the investor
in other towns, in the mind OF
every public spirited citizen.
But aside from this, what better
advantages do other towns pre-
sent?
We have an abundance of raw
material for manufacture all
around us
We have good schools, good
churches, good citizens and one
of the most beautifully located
towns in New England. which
with very little effort on the part
of our people might be made one
of the most attractive and libcr-
ally patrouized summer resorts
in the White Mountain region
Do other towns offer any better
inducements to our people that
should lead them to invest their
money abroad?
1t seems to be thought that il
is safe to invest elsewhere, but
that it would be a very danger
GUS thing to invest in our owr
town to build it up. 1t is to bt
hoped that the scale of industrial
blindness will fall from our eyes
soon and that our own town vii

WHAT THE FARMER WOULD GET.


When Mr.. Springer SAID that
the loss of revenue involved in his
proposition to make wool tree
and to reduce the duties on wool
manufactures, would probably
be made good by large importa-
ton at the lower rates, he set
forth clearly the purpose OF his
party to ruin American wool
growing as we'll as wool manu-
featuring. Placing raw wool on
the free list and scaling down du-
Ties on wOOlenS and WOrStcdS, as
proposed in his bill now before
Congress, would reduce the rev.
cnucS of the government about
$50, 100000. TO make up this
deficiency would require an ad
litional importation OF WOO
manufactures to the value O
$50, 100000. They would con
tain from 2O0,OOO,OOO to go,
100000 pounds of raw wool
which would narrow the Amcri
can farmers market by that
amount.
If importations of raw WOO
were maintained at last year:
| igure-and under free wool they
probably would insrcase-119,
100000 pounds would come il

nearly 500, OOO,O 900 pounds nj
told, which would come in from
abroad to supply the American
demand for wool Since we con
sumo at a liberal estimate only
600, 900, 900 pounds of wool an
nually, there would be left a dc
mand for not much more thar
0,0O0,oJO pounds of American
wool. Since this country pro

The official Postal Guide is 4
monthly publication ofgrcat val
uc to business men and all pat
rons of post-offices. The facts
and directions which it contains
are important to every person
who uses the mails. If they were
more generally understood to the
public, the result would be a
marked reduction in the amount
of mail matter improperly adj
dressed or stamped, and in the
number of letters annually sent
to the Dead Letter Office. The
Post Office Department has not
the funds sufficient to distribute
the Postal Guide, but the an
nouncement is made that post
masters are authorized to order
any number of the monthly
Guides from the publisher, and
to deliver to people who wish tC
procure them, at the cost price o.

Homework as an Exercise.

To keep the complexion and spirits
good, to preserve grace, strength and
agility of motion. there is no gymna-
sium so valuable, no exercise more
beneficent in result, than sweeping,
busting, making beds, washing dishes,
and the polishing of brass and silver.
One year of such muscular effort with
in doors, together with regular exer-
else in open air. will do more for n
woman's complexion than all the To-
tons and pomades that We're ever in
vented. Perhaps the reason why house
work does so much more for women
than games. is the fact that exercise
which is Immediately productive cheers
the spirit. 1t gives women courage to
go on living and makes things seem
really worth while.-Medical Record.
