HOW HE WRITES.
Hall Caine Tells Something of His
Method of Work.

Hall Caine Tells Something of His
Method of Work.
From McClurc's Magazine
Il don't Think Hall Game says, that
I have sat down to a desk to write for
years. / write in my head, to begin with,
ard the actual writing, which is from
memory, is done on any scrap Of paper that
may come to hand; and I always write on
my knee. My work is as follows: I get my
idea, my central motive, and this usually
takes me very long time. The incidents
come very quickly, for the invention of in
cidents is very easy matter to me. then
labor like mad in getting knowledge. 1
visit the places 1 propose to describe.
read every book 1 can get bearing on my
subject. 1t is elaborate, laborious, but very
delightful. l then make voluminous notes.
Then begins the agony Each day it beSetS
me, winter or summer. from 5 in the morn
ing till breakfast time. l awake at 5 and
lie IN bed thinking out the chapter that is
to be written that day, composing it word
for word. That usually takes me up till Z.
Prom I till l am engaged in mental
revision of the chapter. 1 then get up and
write 1t down from memory, as fast as
ever the pen will flow. The rest of the
morning l spend in lounging about, think
ing. thinking. thinking of my book For
when am working on new book think
Of nothing else; everything else comes to a
standstill. In the afternoon 1 walk or ride
thinking, thinking. In the evenings, when
it is dark, l walk up and down my room
constructing my story. 1t is then that 1
am happiest.
Il do not write every day-sometimes 1
take long rest, as l am doing at present
and when do write, 1 never exceed fifteen
hundred words day. l do not greatly re-
wise the manuscript for serial publication,
but labor greatly over the proofs of the
book, making important changes, taking
out. putting in, recasting. Thus, after The
Scapegoat' had passed through four ed-
tons and everybody was praising the book,
l felt uneasy because 1 felt that had rot
done justice to my subject; so 1 spent two
months in rewriting it and had the book re-
set and brought out again. The public feel
ing was that the book had not been i'm
proved. but 1 felt that had lifted it up so
per cent.
Il am convinced" he continued, that
my system of writing the book in my head
first is a good one 1t shows me exactly
what want to say. The mental strain is,
of course immense, and that forces you to
go straight to your point; for the mind is
not strong enough to indulge in dirtations,
in excursions at tangent, as the pen is
apt to do"

CHINESE TACTICS,
Peculiar Ideas of Warfare as Prac-
ticed by the Celestials.


ticed by the Celestials.
From Blackwood's Magazine.
The Chinese soldiers accepted their fate,
from the outset. after their first decisive
experience; resistance to the enemy never
really entered their minds, their sole pre-
occupation being to make room for the
enemy as he advanced, while keeping up
some form of fighting. This relation be-
tween the two armies became SO we'll un-
derstood before the close of the war that
the Japanese commanders were wont to
send word to the Chinese that they would
attack such point at such a time, when
the Chinese general would place his main
body in neutral position, leaving a small
detachment to fire off some cartridges for
the honor of the flag, and retire.
This incredible procedure is quite in keep
irg with Chinese military traditions: the
campaign against the Tapping rebels was
conducted much on the pro-forma system
till toward the end; an imperial officer on
ore occasion, speaking to a foreigner, sum-
med up his own justification in the near
axiom that two people could not occupy the
same place at the same time-"if they
come, must 60.

The reports of the overseers of the
poor and the city physician show the
care which has been bestowed upon these
| unfortunates who are obliged to depend
upon public charity. During the year
the attention of the council was called
to thu condition Of the almshouse and
| hospital building, and special COM
| mittee was appointed to consider the adj
visibility Of purchasing farm in the
| suburbs and erecting thereon more suita-
| Bile buildings. 1t was argued that the
| property a present occupied by the aims
house and hospital could be disposed of
| for sum sufficient to provide better ac-
| commodations for the poor, and that
| buildings which might be erected there
on would augment the tax list. AS this
subject l understand, is likely to be
brought to your attention., it seems
| proper for me to express the opinion that
| the time has hardly arrived for such a
move. The argument is good, but AS
the property is increasing in value, it
will, in the near future, be better. ana
| then removal can he more wisely made.
would advise that none but absolutely
necessary repairs be made on the present
buildings, unless it is decided to perma
| neptiy maintain them where they are.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
By the accompanying report of the
chief eng ineer of the Fire department
you will see hew effectively this depart
ment is organized. Although there
have been nearly one hundred alarms
| during the year the loss by fire has ex-
ceedingly small, the total loss estimated
from property destroyed exceeding tie
amount of insurance paid only slSG6.
| The addition to the deDartment of "a
| first class fire boat removes the cause fol
anxiety which has long been felt bc
those owning property on our w#ter
front, and greatly strengthens the depart
ment. Your attention is called to the
recommendations of the chief engineer,
who, with the committee. have rendered
the city faithful and efficient service.

Walter Nj. Pcrrill, who has been visiting his brother P. P. Perrill, Tn this city, received apiece of good news by wire last week. He was informed that the governor of Arl- zona has appointed him district at- torney of Navajo county, and re- quested his presence in Holbrook immediately. MT. Perrill left over the Santa Fe, in response to the telegram. Navajo is a newly ere ated county, and when the statement is made that 1t is about one fourth the size of old Illinois, and is rap idly growing and has quite note worthy interests, the importance of Mir. Perrills appointment can be seen. He is thoroughly up to the western ways and has had such practical experience in the direct line of his new situation, that will now stand him in need.
