NOT TROUBLED BY NOISE.
Literary People Who Could WORT In tho
l!r;lSt OF Turmoil.


All that concerns the mon and women
who give distinction to their d;iy is Of
interest to those who admire. criticiso
and perhaps envy their achievements,
says Chambers Journal a special and
Legitimate curiosity is felt in reference
to the conditions under which success
is won. Glimpscs arc occasionally
given into the methods Of eminent
toilcrs, and Il wonderful variety is re-
vcaled. Il is at least plain that no
guidcbooll to great perforrnances-thc
anxious author can have his choice of
scvcral-will determine the point
where exactly the best results arc to
be obtained. One mans help is anoth-
cr's hindrancc. Many famous writer's,
for instance, have only been able TO
perfect their thoughts in silence and
seclusion. But there have also been
those who could work in the midst of
babel and defy distraction. jane Aus
ten, whose unprctcntious canvases are
full of some of the most lifc-lillc por-
traits in fiction, was never in the habit
of seeking solitude to compose. She
wrote sitting in the family circle and
under perpetual risk of interruption.
1t was the same with u successful lady
novelist happily still living.
Mrs. Harriet Bccchcr Stowe wrote
her bcst-llnown story on plain pine
table, by the aid of an evening lamp,
in tiny wooden house in Maine.
About her were gathered children Of
various ages, coming their lessons or
at play, and never guessing what Il
treasure mine of excitement was com
ing into existence for other young poo
pie in "Unclc Toms Cabin" a large
part of the Roman History" of DIR. Ar
mold was composed under similar cir
cumstanccs. Dean Stanley has sl5ctched
the Rugby student, where Arnold sat
ut his work, with no attempt at scclu-
sion, conversation going on around him
his children playing i'll the room-his
frequent guests whether friends or
former pupils, coming in or out at
will" Thomas Lowell I'cddocs, poet
of luxuriant fancy and true genius
though much neglected, also found IL
stimulus to the creative faculty of his
muse in working in playful and even
noisy company. Such cases recall the
story of the learned man of Paduu, who
assured Montaignc that he actually
needed to bc hemmcd in by uproar be-
fore he could proceed to study.

WOMEN WHO WRITE.
a Delightful Comparative Study with TIL
Writing, Man.

a Delightful Comparative Study with tho
Writing Man.
When n man writes he wants pomp
and circumstance and eternal space
from which to draw. If he writes ut
home., Says the Boston Advertiser,
he needs IL study or library, ard he
wants the key lost and the llcyholc
pasted over SO that no one can disturb
him. His finished products are of much
Importance to him, and, for Il time, he
wonders why the planets have not
changed their orbits or the sunshine
acquired new brilliancy because he
has written something by Il castiron
method.
y woman picks up some scraps of u
copybooll or the back of pattern,
sharpcns her pencil with the scissors or
gnaws the end sharper. She takes an
old geography, tucEs her foot under
her, sucks her pencil periodically and
produces literature.
She can write with Gcncvievc pound
ing out her exercises on the piano,
with Mary buzzing over her history
lesson for tomorrow, Tommy teasing
the baby, and the baby pulling the
cats tail. The domestic comes and
goes for directions and supplies, but
the course Of true love runs on. the
lovers WOO and win, and the villains
kill and die among the most common
place surroundings.
y mans best efforts, falling short of
genius, are apt to be stilted, but the
woman who writes will often, with the
stump of Il pencil and amid the distrac-
tions above mentioned, produce n ten
der bit of Il poem, n dramatic situation
or a page of description that, though
critics rave, lives on, travels through
the exchanges and finds a place in
the scrapbooks of the men and women
who know good thing when they see
it, whether there is q well-llnown name
signed to it or not

Stranger for Alms.
The people of the extreme south of
france, in the neighborhood of the
Pyrcnces, have hard shift to live
Some of them gain n livelihood by tam
ing bears.
Many others take to begging, which
becomes trade by itself, reasonably
rcmunerative and not exactly dishon-

Memories" cites the case of one Of
these professional bcggars who
amasscd n good property and finally
BECAME mayor of Il large commune.
Even then he continued to ply his
trade, especially in the bathing season,
when many tourists visited the coun-
try. One of these outsiders was so
taken abacll at the sight of the mayor

"Oilicc!' said the mayor my office!
