How victor Hugo worked.

Victor Hugo always wrote standing
at a high desk especially constructed
for him, throwing off sheet after sheet
as fast as he filled it till he would be
quite showed up in Ieaves of foolscap.
He often rose in the middle of, the
night to note down an idea or verse.
He got up for the day usually at 6
o'clock and would devote from six to
eight hours per diem to his work. He
made but few corrections, his poems
being thought out complete in his brain
before he put pen to paper. 1t is a we'll
known fact that he indulged in the ar
duous task of composition while tray
ersing the streets of Paris on the top
of an omnibus. When working out
some great conception, he would spend
hours in this way.

TANKS OF FACTS,

A great many people mistake infor-

most needs is not that he may be pos
sessed of an accumulation of facts, bat
that he may know where to look for
the facts when he wants them. We all
know the unpleasant individual who is
continually seeking information. You
show him about your city and he asks:
How many miles of street railway
have you in your city, What is the
price of ice here this summer How
many churches are there hcre?". How
long has that building been standingT
ETC., ad nauseanl. You don't know and
wonder why he wants to. You know,
where you can find out, and that is
enough for you.
And then there is that equally dis
agreed bic person who actually seems
to be a tank of facts. He has more in
formation than anything else and de
lights in asking you most extraordinary
questions. When you confess your ig-
norance, he will look upon you with
pity and exclaim, ''What, don't you
know?" and then tell you when you
don't want to know at all. For exam
pie, he is much surprised because you
don't know how long the Amazon river
is. He permits. you-nay, he insists
that you should guess. only that he
may the better humiliate you. His

it is almost useless. Life is too short

SADLY INFLICTED BOY DEAD.
Had No firms But GOuId Perform Wonders
With His Toes.

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Aug. %. :
Russell Brown, aged 13 years, who was
known over central and southern New
York as an "armless wonder" died
ae his mothers home here today, after
a short illness of diphtheria. The
child was born without arms, but
showed wonderful natural dexterity n
using his feet and toes.
His toes were as pliable and con-
trollable as fingers, and there were
few things that other boysF could do
that Russell did not practice until he
could repeat them. He always wore
light kid shoes, covering his feet as
far forward as the ball, leaving his
toes exposed. With these members
he could handle a knife and fork at
the table, pick up the smallest article
from the floor and hold book and
write exceptionally well for boy.

His chief accomplishment, however,
was his skill with his violin, and on
this instrument he was an adept. The
instrument, of course, was placed on
some object under his feet and he
played many difficult compositions.
A bicycle fitted with a steering bar
against which his shoulders rested
gave him plenty of outdoor recreation,
and he could perform many tricks on
this machine. Driving his mothers
horse was another of his favorite past
times. At school Russell had a seat
and desk which allowed him to use

This town and Palmyra are still quar-
relling in a fairly friendly way, over the
boundary line An expert civil engineer
is at work on the disputed section. The
selectmen of the towns are determined to
have the line determined in some way and
if this cannot be done by an engineer to
the satisfaction OF all Immediately con-
cerned and DESTROYS of having the same
where it rightfuly belongs there is pro-
baby only one way out of it and that is
by the appointment of commission to
whom the matter wiz be left by the court.
This particular line is the only one
which gave any trouble when the work of
looking over the town lines was done,
last year. and much time has already been
expended to get at the facts. The old
line recognized for a number OF years
seems to be one curve and there appears
to be no way of avoiding trouble. The
man whose boundary line in his deed is
that long-recognized as the town line,
may lose hand by the change and quite a
number of property holders will be affect
ed no matter which way the line is
slaughtered.
