Unwrltable English.

Here Is the sentence, although l

going to write it: There are

two the sentence is Incorrect,
as 1t Is If you spell it either too

it Is incorrect to say it, although
1T certainly should be possible to
express the thought. This thing

HOW AUTHORS WROTE.
Pope Thought Best When Ia Bed Victor
Hugo Wrote Standing.

Alexander Pope, who was the liter
airy pontiff 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 bed clothes and floor covered
with white bits containing aphorisms
which have now become hackneyed
quotations.
Victor Hugo wrote lies Misera-
bles" standing up, an attitude which
Hawthorne also assumed when he
wrote mauy of his romances.
One leg thrown over the arm of
chair or sitting on the arm of his Sec
retary's chair were Napoleon's favor
ite positions while debating to Bour-
rienne, a position which he varied
now and then by patting that scribe
on the head or pulling his ears
Sir Walter Scott could while reclin-
irg on a lounge dictate to two amanu-
enses, who frequently had to stop
writing, so funny the dictated passages
seemed to him.
Balzac, in monks robe, frequent
ly wrote from midnight till noon, TAX
ing draughts of strong coffee when
drowsiness attacked him, and thus
shortening his life by many years, no
doubt.
William Morris made one of his fa-
nous translations from the Greek
while riding on the steam cars. Walt
Whitman and Horace Traubel, origin
al in all things, were most original in
the position they took while thinking.
They were wont, so Mr. Traubel says,
to climb upon pile of lumber and
lie down upon their backs. In that
way each found out what the others
best thoughts were.-Boston Globe.

Easter Facts.

The observance of Easter was
not instituted until some 300
years after the death of Christ.
The name was taken from the
ancient Anglo-Saxon goddess of
spring, Ostern, or Eastre, whose
festival was celebrated about the
time of the Christian Easter. No
celebration was arranged by the
Jewish Christians at all, but on
the 18th day of the month, imme.
dlately following the vernal equi
nox, whi 'h was the day on which
the old Jewish feast of the Pass
over was celebrated the death of
Christ, to them the paschal lam b,
Christ having died according to
their chronology, on the date of
the celebration of the Jewish
Passover. The celebration of
the Jewish Christians was there
fore for the death and not the
resurrection of Christ. The
Gentle Christians, however,
were not bound by any of the
Jewish traditions. Sunday beng
the Lords day to them, they
therefore celebrated the resur.
rectlon of Christ on the Sunday
following the 14th day of the
moon of March, the day on which
Christ died. The Jewish Christ.
lans thus celebrated the 14th day
of the month, irrespective of the
day OF the week, and the Gentle
Christians celebrated a Sunday
irrespective of the day of the
month. If this confusion had not
been resolved by the proper &c.
cleslastlcal authorities, we might
have been celebrating the day at
the present time according to our
individual religious predictions.
The early church was torn with
bitter dissenslons regarding this
conflict of custom as to the cele
oratlon of Easter. Various al
tempts were made to fix stable
day which would be observed by
the church as whole. but they
all failed. Finally, at the council
of Nice, A. D. 1926, the question
was settled once for all, and the
date now observed throughout
the Christian world was estab-
llshed. Easter day was then fix
ed as the first Sunday after the
full moon which happens on or
next after March 81 If the full
moon happens on Sunday the
following Sunday is Easter.
In France the year began with
Easter Sunday until the year
1864, the date of Shakespeare's
birth, when Charles TX fixed Jan.
uary l, as the first day of the
year.-The American Press.

FAMILIES GROW SMALLER.
Average Now 40, as Against SIS a Century
Ago.

average NOW 80, as Against 90 Sentury
Ago.
The size of the average family
IN the United States has decreas.
ed from 8 persons IN 1890, the
date of the first census taken in
this country, to 46 in the same
area in 1900, according to a vol.
ume now being published by the
Census Bureau.
OF especial interest from so
Geological point of view are these
statistics in the book which deal
with family life. In 1890 famil-
les composed of no more than
three persons represented but
one fourth Of the entire mum ber
of families, while IN 1900 families
of similar size made up nearly 40
per cent. of all families. Fam
lies composed of SIX or more per.
sons represented in 1890 more
than one half, but in 1900 scarce.
ly more than one fourth of the
families enumerated.
On the basis of the proportion
shown IN 1890 there would have
been ia continental United States
IN 1900, 39,500,O00 children,
whereas there were less than
24,OOo,OO0.
The number Of children under
16 years Of age to each white
family was 2 s IN 1890, as com.
pared with is in 1900. The ratio
in 100 of two children under
sixteen years of age to each
white female l6 years of age and
over declined TO one in 1900.
OF 3,171, 900 white persons en-.
umerated In 1870 approxim 'tely
1900, 900 survived 30 years later
1880 In 1880, while in 1900 there
were 23 persons who reported
their ages as ll0 years and over,
so that at the census Of 1900 1t Is
possible that there are still LIVING
persons enumerated In the first
census, taken 10 years before.

ARMY MULES OBEY ORDERS.
Success In Handling the Animals Consists
In Knowing How.


In Knowing How.
OHorse and mule men at the stock
yards stood in admiration yesterday
! afternoon while the soldiers of Bat
terry A and B, Second United States
artillery, under Lieutenant N. o
Mason, loaded thirteen cars of mules
IN twenty-five minutes. 1t was a new
record on the loading docks, and it
wasn't accomplished by any unusual
methods either. Nor was the mule
drivers voca bulary resorted to. How
did they do it? The lieutenant simply
called the roll and the mules respond
ed to their names.
"Nigger," called an officer, and a
little black gun mule ambled up.
'Now, Mollie, your next: now Cy-
Clone" and Cyclone came like cy-
clone.
If mule was refractory few men
in khaki took hold of him and pushed
and showed him into place.
"No wonder,' said an envious mule
driver, "they know their mules; they
couldn't do them all that way"
"That so?" said a non commission
ed officer. 81 guess we could. It's
all in knowing how. You never want
to hinck around mule. Never look
back when you leave him. After you
know how mules are better to handle
than horses. From the Kansas City
Times.

Absenteeism on "The HilI."

From the neutrality-suspicious..
When the present session be.
gan 1T was understood that every
employe of the Legislature would
himself be required to do the
work pertaining to his place, and
that if he appointed a substitute
he would be mulcted by the State
Treasurer. Indeed notice to that
effect was given to all employees.
There has always been a great
deal of absenteeism, as public
place ever has been regarded as
a private snap as we'll as politl
cal reward.
1t seems, however, that the eff
feet of the warning did not last
long. for Mr.. Greasy, who Is In
touch with conditions at the cap
ltol, yesterday introduced reso
luton which sets fourth that
many of the employees of the
House and the Senate have been
away from their posts during
practically the entire session and
have neglected their duties, and
directs the State Treasury to
withhold from the absentees so
much of their salaries as they
have not earned. Mr.. Reynolds,
of Lawrence county, moved TO
amend by including memb bers of
the Legislature, and as this
amendment was acceptable to MIR
Greasy, it was adopted by the
twenty. or thirty. mem bers who
were present yesterday in the
guise of quorum of the House
of Representatives to do busi-
ness. The resolution will never
be heard of again; at least 1t will
not be adopted by the House when
there Is a quorum present.
Appointments to places on "the
Hill" are given as rewards for
political work for the dominant
party. For several years past,
and especially since the new cap
itol was opened to the business
of the Com monwealth, the places
have been so greatly increased in
mum ber that employees would be
In each others way If some OF
them did not stay away often and
long. 1t IS not the desire of the
Commonwealth to maze any of
them work too hard If hard labor
can he avoided, and there must
be room for those who perform
their duties at any time to get
about freely. The necessity for
this is great, and absenteeism is
the only remedy. Therefore Mr..
Creasy's resolution may not be
adopted. There must be places
and salaries for the faithful, and
two or three men TO do one man
work Is just about right.
