SOME WRITER'S.

Locke is said to have spent over slx
years In the preparation of his essay,
ION the Human Understanding"
Lamartine, the great French poet,
was happily married and received
great aid from his wife in all his I'M
dertakings.
The great Dante was married to q
notorious seold, and when he was In
exile he had no desire to see her, al
though she was the mother OF his six
children.
Wolfe is said to have written 1.-THE
Burial of Sir John Moore" in one even
Ing directly after news had been
brought of the defeat at Coruna and
the death of the gallant British officer.
A friend of the late Walter Besant
relates that the novelist always kept
on his desk before him list of the
characters of tho novel he happened tc
be at work on, their relationship and
appearance.
Hans Christian Andersen formed his
style by narratlng his stories to vari
Gus groups of children before he wrote
them down. His one thought was to
become famous. and he was very care
full not to make any enemies.
Dickens says In the introduction to
David Copperfleld" that he spent two
years In the composition of that novel.
He did not usually require SO long q
time, many of his novels being finish
ed In less than Il year and most of his
shorter stories in few days.

Tic wiIIine worker.

why is it." asked n modest young
breadwinner, that when stay at the
Office after hours to voluntarily do an
extra amount Of work somebody who
is in charge pounces upon me as his
tustiflable victim and gives me still
more to do?
THAT has happened to nue. time after
time In my business, and at each rope
ution have taken VOW that IL am
ever In charge Of an Office shall give
any one of my subordinate who sits
down and does work which isn't specif-
ically required Of him credit for what
he does do and let 1t go at that, with
out adding insult to injury, as 1t were,
by giving him something further to do.
"0f course It's an old saying that the
man who does the most work Is the
man usually worked but it's discour-
aging, don't you think? Strangely
enough, though. he goes ahead and lets
himself be worked with only weak
objection to ease his feelings"-New

Animals and Salt.

Among certain people there is q
strong idea that nothing Is worse for
dogs than salt. but as n matter of fact,
when administered in small quantities.
1t materially assists the process Of d.
gestlon. There is no doubt, however,
that to give dogs or any other animals
broth or pot liquor In which salt pork
or bacon has been boiled would be al
most equivalent to giving them a small
dose of poison. The use of salt among
horses. cattle and sheep is advocated
by the highest veterinary authorities.
Pigs, on the contrary, are extremely
susceptible TO the poisonous influence
of the agent, and experiments have
been made which had, after small
doses regularly administered, fatal re
suits. Habitually, as a matter of course
all animals consume a certain portion
OF salt. as 1t exists In certain proper
lions In most articles OF food.-Londor

A story is told of certain English
bishop well known for his yerbosity
who rose to address the house of lords
on very important occasion. Il will
divide my speech under twelve heads"
he said, to the discomfort of his audi
ence.
The Marquis of Salisbury begged to
be allowed to interpose with a little
anecdote. "a friend of mine was re-
turning home late one night" he said,
"when opposite st. Paul's he saw an
intoxicated man trying to ascertain tho
time on the big clock there. Just then
1t began to strike and slowly tolled out
II. The man listened, looked hard at
the clock and said: 'Confound you. why
couldn't you have said that oil Mt
once|"
The bishop heartily Joined In the
laughter which followed and took the

1t Is the Purest, Best and Only Alb.
soIutely Safe Water.
Boil a gallon of water until there 10
but quart left, and the quart will
contain all the impurities of the gal
lon and be nearly four times as i'm
pure as before. Continue the boiling,
and all the Impurities animal, vege.
table and mineral, except the gases
thrown off-will be reduced to one SOL
i'd mass The water which is evapo-
rated and passed off as steam is very
nearly pure. But, you will say, 1t kills
the dangerous germs. We will sup
pose 1t does, but their remains furnish
material for bacterial life to feed up
on. Do you relish the idea Of eating
in food or drinking their dead and de-
composing bodies, which poison the
water by their decomposition The
fact is scientific investigation has prov
ed that boiling only kills the feeblest,
the least injurious, germs.
Try n simple experiment. Put un-
boiled city water in ono bottle and the
same that has been boiled for half an
hour or more In another, cork tightly
for a week or longer and note the diff
ference. The unboiled water will show
marked depreciation in looks taste
and smell, but that which has been
boiled will be 30 much worse in these
respects that no one would think OF
using it. In comparison with these
you can submit Il properly sealed bot
tie OF pure distilled water to the same
conditions. and at the end OF year 1t
will be found to be as pure. sweet and
perfect as when first bottled
The purest aud best and the only alb
