MODERN NOVELIST At WORK.
In Perfect Harmony with the CONNER
cial Spirit of the Ace.

In Perfect Harmony with the CONNER
cial Spirit of the Age.
The popular novelist. says the Bal
timore Sun, prepares a slight outline
of the chapters from day to day, SO
that he may not be interrupted in lit
erary production by the necessity OF
thinking about his plan. Then, reclin-
ing in his easy chair. with a stenog-
rapher at a convenient distance. SO
that the favorite ct the muses. will not
have to raise his voice, the production
of literature commences. At the rate
of two or three thousand words an
hour it proceeds: On and on 1t goes.
Possibly another s~tenographer takes
the place of the first Until the notes
that have been made for the days
work are exhausted. These faithful
assistants then retire and write out
upon the typewriter their notes, which
are handed to a literary assistant to
revise and put in shape for the au-
thor's final correction. Two hours will
in this way, with the employment OF
stenographers, typewriters and literary
secretaries, produce with comparative
ly slight exertion on the part of the
author 5000 words a day on an elab-
crate novel. If at the end of the work
on the novel there is any inclination to
produce a short story or a sketch or
other magazine article, an hour or two
will be sufficient, and the same process
is employed in this as in the larger
composition.
In this way only is there q rate OF
production possible that is at all com
mensurate with the intensity of the
commercial and industrial life CT this
age. There are novelists and writer's
of popular works of various characters
who are able to produce several
lengthy works n year and have time
left for a multitude of other literary
pieces. They have been wise enough
to be up to date in the methods Of pro-
duction they employ. Their industry
is not wasted upon laborious opersr
lions which consume the time and
strength without increasing the output.

GOOD g
o ROADS
How to Repair Roads.

~ -
Charles Williams, "a contractor fin
Connersyille, Ind, gives a few points
On road repair In a paper. before a
farmers institute, which will. be- OF
interest:
Now, some points on how to keep
roads In good condition and how to
repair them. A road must have con-
start attention II it is to be of any use
or value.
Whenever a rut forms 1t should be
repaired at once, The road should be
graded in the spring and grayeled in
the fall. The road will then be hard
and smooth. and the gravel will be
packed down, but not worn out, before
bad weather sets In. 1t depends on
what shape the crown OF the road is
In what the condition of the road will
be for travel through the winter: II
the crown is In good shape 1t will shed
the water to the side bitches, and II
they are in good shape the road wi
remain dry and solid.
Now I will tell a few ways to spoil a
good road:
The surest way is to use the road
grader and pile all the mud. sod and
weeds from the sides and bitches into
the centre of the road. This makes the
road soft and muddy. and it will be I'M
possible for the next coat Of gravel to
unite with the old roadbed. The re.
suit is the road will be spongy. The
best plan is to scrape it up into piles
and haul 1t to some gully, of which all
roads have d few, and dump it there.
The road grader is a good road
builder in the hands of a man that
knows how to use ii, but otherwise he
will do d great deal Of damage.
Another way to spoil a road is to
make the crown so steep that all the
travel will take to the centre. The re.
suit is the road is worn out in the
centre, and no use has been made OF
the remainder of the road. The centre
is cut up by. three gullys, which hold
water and cause the road to be soft
and muddy when it otherwise would
be in good shape.

Road Repairing.

hOau DepalTlNBs ~
The work of repairing the roads Is
In order. All ~culverts and cutters
should be cleaned out. and all shout
ders on the roads Should be pared
down so that they shall be below the
Travelled portion of the highway. This
will permit of the water running on
into the gutter. Gravel roads should
have a little gravel placed on the toe
marks in the centre of the road and
In the futs. If this is not done at this
season no good will result. All loose
stones should be removed from ma
cadam roads with q back of d rake, not
the teeth. Loose stones jnjufe the road
as much as any one thing, because they
are driven into the surface and break
the bond. Where the stone is begin
ming to show through, little splinters or
chips of stone should be applied to
form d cushion. This cushion should
not be more than three-fourths of an
inch thick. No sprinkling or rolling is
necessary. A ton Of splinters will suf.
flee for from $50 to 900 square feet.
An ordinary farm roller weighted
down and u over the road after loose
stones are removed will improve 1t. Ii
is not necessary to use screenings on
a stone road. as they only furnish dust
In dry weather. 1.-THE road is watched
a new surface will not be necessary, as
1t will not have the chance to get In
bad condition. He con~gratulates the
selectmen on the fact that the roads
have been SO well looked after by them
In accordance with the means at their
disposal. and this fact will greatly aid
i'm securing to the towns the State aid
they at present enjoy.

Charlotte Corday persisted by the
guillotine a hundred and ten years ago;
four days after her killing of the fero-
cious .Marat. The often told story of
her face having been een to blush
after decapitation is probably imag-
mary: but it is true that this Roman
heroine was still so much of a woman
that, after her arrest, she pe~titioned
the authorities to allow her portrait
to be painted. This vas refused, but
she was pleased to note that an artist
was sketching her during her trial, and
she carefully posed" for him, and
gave him part of the few hours spent
in her cell between sentence and exc.
cution. She was a beautiful woman
twenty-four years of age. The guillo-
tine had been in use fifteen months
when she was executed, and it is prob
able that she was the first woman who
was so put to death. The queen fol.
lowed her three months later.
