There is always a nominal interest
attached to the dissection of authors
by the critics, but when a writer calm
ly dissects himself, more than ordinary
interest is aroused. Frederick NJ. Bird
seems to write not of a full and bitter
experience in a current magazine when
he lays bare the secrets CT his profess
sion.
Apart from egotistic imaginings, the
truth is that the literary life is as poor
as any other vocation and probably
poorer than most, in literary ma ter
ial." Its details are not picturesque;
they are not romance; they are not
even interesting, except to the Literary
fellow himself. and not always espe-
clally so to him. There is next to 10th
ing in them to attract the curious
whose work and play are on different
lines; and other literary fellows Go not
care to hear about them, for they know
just how it is. Brown wrestles with a
sonnet; all that can be said about the
process, the frowns and heavings and
gurglings, has been said a thousand
times, chiefly in comic papers end par
agraphs. If he accomplishes his task.
possibly he gets S. or $40 for the result;
In one case out of a million or two. it
may be remembered for a decade.

ries, I notice, but these are high
flights. His wife may have to see that
he knocks off for dinner, and gets to
bed before 2 a. m. She may share his
anxiety as to the concrete result. His
intimates, if he is impudent, may say,
Smith is trying to write a novel,
and go their way
But suppose Smith scores, or Brown
is acclaimed as a new Tennyson? Why,
then, if notoriety or fame be won,
there will be hard facts. statistics.

ucles or items in books of reference.
We shall want to know what the great
man eats for breakfast and where ne
buys his trousers. But as for fiction
no. The professional life OF the man
of letters, however, successful, can SIS
rule furnish nothing to romance; ana
as for realism. realism can find mole
to interest and instruct in the daily
experiences of a ploughman or society
woman, not to say of lawyer or en-
gineer. Machinery is a more hopeful
field for tales than letters, and it Is

Wine Interests.

The wine making interest of ANA
dor county is in thriving condition
All wine growers have done profitable
business for several years past-such a
business in fact as justifes them in ex-
tending their vineyards. G. B. Arata
makes about $500 gallons Of wine each
season. He finds ready sale for the
product in New Jersey, at 80 cents per
gallon on the ranch. He planted last
season 5000 young vines, covering an
area of 16 acres. He expects to plant
about the same number this season. 1t
is found that wine made from choice
variety of grapes that grow in the foot
hills is of superior quality to the pro-
duct of the lowlands. This fact, as it
becomes more generally known, will
result in much larger area cultivated
to wine grapes in this county than at
present.

Amador County Fair.

The county fair will open in the
pavilion in lone, next Wednesday,
October l, and continue three days.
The state appropriation for this dis
trict amounts to $500, which sum,
however, must be spent for premiums
only. They may spend the full amount
on one fair, as the directors may deem
proper, although the appropriation
covers a period of two years. With
this amount of money to offer for ex-
hibits, there ought to be some keen
competition for prizes. While we do
not approve of state money being ap-
propriated for fairs outside of the
annual state fair, still, since the sum
has been voted, it is hoped that suffici-
ent interest will be taken in the matter
to insure an exhibition worthy of the
varied resources of our county, and a
liberal patronage in the way of visitors.

morning, after lingering illness. The
nature of his sickness was puzzle.
For three weeks no food had been taken

for food, and nothing could be retained

had been the only thing that passed
his lips, to allay the fever that seemed
to be consuming him internally. The
ailment was pronounced cancer of the

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL.

We publish this morning the state ment of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company of Hartford and the annual report of Colonel Greene, it's president, to the policyholders. cies outstanding, it's assets exceed $65.277 ,OOO, and it's surplus by it's self imposed standard is over $7OOO.OOO. It would be over $9.O00,O0O if calcu- lated by the standard fixed by law.
 The financial strength of this great concern is so evident and so abun- dant that it's name has come to be recognized as another term for solid ity and safety. Criticisms of the Connecticut Mutual never question it's ability to pay it's policyholders or the soundness of it's insurance, but con- cern the policy of it's management, which refuses to keep pace with it's critics in running after new business at any price, but persists in provid- ing life insurance for those who want to insure their lives at the lowest possible cost. Colonel Greene well says that that is the one thing that life insurance can do and that all oth- CT financial schemes are better ad- vanced by >their own especial agen- cies. Life insurance is life insur- ance. not banking, nor bond-selling, but insuring lives. His admirable re- port presents his conscientious view of the life insurance business in way that cannot but impress the reader, and it should be read not only by the policyholders but by all who have any interest in what is going on He put- the case so that there is no getting around it, and carries conviction with him.
 The company under his conservative management moves steadily forward with increasing insurance and grow ing assets. It gets the best risks, the lives of conservative men, it's mortality is very low, and it's insured are ssstay- ers.' In the fifty-six years of it's ex- istence the Connecticut Mutual has taken in from it's insured S216, 751. .123 and has paid them or their benefic- iaries $214,279,S ,S2O, and instead of hay ing the S2,5000 900 on hand, which is the difference between these receipts and expenditures, it has over sixty-flye and a quarter million dollars in it's possession. This is the marvel of arithmetic and the miracle of interest and is the reason why insurance ac- -complishes what individual saving can- not do.
