AUTHORS AND INDIGESTION.
Some Citations to Prove That Good
Literature Results from This Com
bination.

1t is always a question whether a
literary man should seek to evade in
digestion. Did not Mrs. Radcliffe con-
fess that some of the most thrilling
episodes in the Mysteries of Udolpho"
came to her in a nightmare conse-
quent upon eating pork chops? May
not the brownies" also, who gave
Stevenson the dream inspiration of
.'Jekyll and Hyde" have been trace
able to some similarly injudicious but
lucky meal?
Mr.. III. G. Wells is among those who
believe that indigestion is an aid to
successful authorship. Some years
ago. when called upon to answer the
question, What is the first step
towards literary production" Mr..
Wells replied: 1T is imperative, if you
wish to write with any power OF
freshness at all, that you should ut
terly ruin your digestion Victor
Hugo appears to have done his best to
bring on indigestion. Edmond Lock-
roy states in his Memoire that it was
Hugo's invariable custom when served
with crayfish to devour the head, claws
and tail; and to swallow the skin and
pips whenever he ate an orange.
The literary man may very well,
when he is lying on his back, console
himself with literature. But what is
the scientific man, with no particular
interest in literature, tn DO? A GER
tain professor of my acquaintance
once got through month of painful
convalescence by the aid of another
kind Of reading. He read through
the scores of his favorite composers.
He had no ear for the rhythms Of
music, and he assured me that he
heard the music as he read the scores.
He said that during that month he
really came to understand Beethoven
and that no performance Of his work
ever satisfied him afterwards.
The inspiring effects Of lying in bed
have been felt by some who were not
