stenkiewicz,s Method of Work.

Sienkiewicz's method Of making q
book is as follows: He works out a de
tailed plan. and writes it down careful
ly. He fixes this In his head, and lets
1t 'Seethe and ferment' there, as he
says. When ready to begin work, he di-
vides his time, not into days, but weeks.
During the first week he produces q
certain amount the second week a sim
liar amount, and so on, week after
week. He writes without correction,
and never copies, producing just one
manuscript-the one which he sends to
the printer Each weeks work contin-
ues that of the preceding week. Though
the plan of the book IS elaborated care
fully in advance, this plan is not fol-
lowed strictly; from the "seething and
fermenting" in his head changes are
suggested to the author, and he makes
them. He has no secretary, amanuen-
sis, copyist, or assistant.
To write such books as he does with
out copying or correcting, to create
works like the trilOgy and Quo Vadis"

plete, uubroken whole, is perhaps the
most amazing tour de force IN literary
experience. Sienkiewicz employs 10
man or woman TO help him. He makes
all Literary researches himself; visits
and studies the places which he needs
to see: and when writing in Switzer-
land. Italy, France. or other countries,
takes with him all the books he re-
ouires. and shuts himself in with them
during working hours, which for him
are from eight or niGe till lunch at one

The attention of the public is called
to the professional work of DR.. T. H..
White, No. 2711 z Morrison street,
Portland. Or. His electrical appli-
ances are the most modem, and his
crown and bridge work is of such arts-
tic form and finish, that his patients
are delighted not only with the looks,
but with the comfort they receive from
the use of such artificial work. All
operations are painless under his meth
ods. See that your teeth are properly
cared for and that by skillful dentist.
There is no need to suffer the discom-
forts of broken-down and stained teeth
when they can be made useful and
pleasant to look upon without pain.
