PECULIAR IDEAS OF AUTHORS.
Worid's Great Writers Did Their Best Work.

Alexander Pope, who was the liter ary pontin of his time. thought best when in bed. Whenever a thought came to him he would jot it down on a scrap of paper. His servant often found bedclothes and floor covered with white bits containing aphorisms which have now become hackneyed quotations.
 Victor Hugo wrote Les Miserables" standing up, an attitude which Flaw thorne also assumed when he wrote many of his romances.
 One leg thrown over the arm of a chair or sitting on the arm Of his sec retary's chair were Napoleon's favor ite positions while dictating to Bour- Tienne, position which he varied now and then by batting that scribe on the head or pulling his ears.
 Sir Walter Scott could while reclin- ing on a lounge dictate to two amanu- enses, who frequently had to stop writ ing, so funny the dictated passages seemed to them.
 William Morris made one of his fa- nous translations from the Greek while riding on the steam cars. Walt Whitman and Horace Traubel. original in all things. were most original in the position they took while thinking. They were wont, so Mir. Traube, says, to climb upon a pile of lumber and lie down upon their hacks In that way each found out what the others best thoughts were. ...-.H

 We heard he had bad fall and was all broke to pieces,' whispered the neighbor.
 Iris big story you've heard. 1" said MT. Dolan, fin his cheerful roar. "Thrue, he fell on'n the roof O the Brady stables. where he was shingliny and he broke his lift leg. knocked out . couple of teeth and broke his collar bone.
 Mind ye, if he'd have fell clear to the ground 1t might have hurted him bad. but sure there was a big pile of shtones and old lumber that broke his fall."-Youth's Companion

OF WOOD SHOULDLOOK
 FOR STAMP

DOUGLAS. July 2s.-tSpecial)-- What is in effect pronuncianento to the publie. at large is the state ment made hy w. A. Stuart, assistant forester. to an International reporter today. regs rding the purchase of cord wood.
 Whoever purchases cord wood not brought from Mexico and not bearing a government stamp lays himself lia- ble under the law to the extent of the amount paid for the wood" Mir. Stu art said. And as ne mentioned the subject his eyes were rowing up and down the street ia quest of wood wagons
 'Nine-tenths of the cord wood sold fin Douglas is taken from the public domain and very little of it, I am in- formed. bears the government stamp. This stamp is not placed on every stick of wood. b,l it will be found at the end of several sticks of each load. and private citizens should be very careful when buying wood to ascertain if 1t bears the stamp. If 1t does not the purchaser is liable.
 "Wood-cutters. have recently found out. are encroaching upon the public domain in manner that will meet with the most vigorous treatment by government representatives. They go up the little draws leading to the mountains where they find some tim Der and this they appropriate and sell. All timber cutting on the public domain must first have the consent of the proper officials and when this is not secured the law is violated.
 We don't want any private citi- zens who are innocent of any malice to get into trouble in this way. hence this notification Look for the stamp and if it can't be found question the owner of the wood closely. and if his account of the origin of the wood is not satisfactory, don't buy it."

The first discovery that was made of coffee in Mexico by the early Span. ish settlers was through the action of the natives and mountain goats about the plants. The goats would rub their noses against the tree and waliow un their backs at the roots of the bush and prance and dance as . cat would over ball of catnip. Upon examinar toin. the bean was found to be. first of pleasant odor. and when crushed in the mouth. palatable. An experiment of boiling was made.
