NOTES

Han Game has stirred up a sort Of
literary hornets nest by describing his
early experience as q writer His
main 0nense consists I'm speaking OF
having had "a "stin struggle on an
income of 81, 800 "a year. Most OF his
gr.ties-many of whom are prOmiu-
snt authors-describe this stipend as
.prineely" and then give some
Der iusiRhts into their own earnings
Han Caine. when he started on the
race Of literary success, had "a regular
salary Of 81, 900 a year from the Liver
pool Mercury, while he was making
another $500 con the side by contri-
buttons and reviews published in the
Atbenaoum and Academy. out of his
first book, no complains, he made
"0uly $3.50" while for his third book
THE Deemster' he obtained only

The school superintendent was IN
the habit of dropping in to the differ
eut class rooms and demanding a re-
cital Of lessons from the pupils. one
day her active mind hit upon physiol-
ogy as the study for examination.
1t happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study Of the hui
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars as she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
FIRST question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were 10 more
questions Of similar nature asked.
