MUCH LIKE OTHER WRITERS
FieIding's Methods of Composition Differed Little From Those of the
 Better Known Men of Letters.

Fielding's methods of composition were not very different from those of other men who make literature their profession, according to Wilbur Cross in Yale Review. Whether a writer proceeds slowly or rapidly depends up on variety of circumstances. Much of his work must be done under pres sure, and when such work Is success ful he is usually not averse to telling the public how quickly it was thrown off. Shakespeare has the reputation of writing "The Merry Wives of Wind sor" in a fortnight in order to please a queen who could no longer wait to see how Falstaff would behave when in love; and Moliere, it is said, asked for no more than three days for the composition of farce urgently de- manded by the players. Likewlse Fielding in "Eurydice Hiss'd" led his audience to infer that he was good for nine scenes of farce every day when at his best, while at other times ms muse treated him badly. In another mood he gave his readers the impress sion that "Tom Jones" was composed at full leisure as befts a masterpiece, though he probably never wrote more pages a day than when engaged upon that novel. Taken with what he said when more off his guard his works are evidence that he experienced all the pleasures, all the labors, all the trou- bles, which have made the literary ca reer a mixture of delight and pain to every one who has followed 1t serious ly as a source for bread.

SPORT IS WORTH WATCHING
National Ball Game of the Basque Mountalneers That Calls for All
 Sorts of ResourcefuI Work.

However modest as geographical unit may be the Basque mountaineers of the Pyrenees. there remains to their credit a national ball game that will yield nothing to the finest sport ing efforts of the Anglo-Saxon people, whether In the matter of pure recrea- ton or of spectacular interest. The tourbillon-like movement with which the player, the pelOtari, swings round to catapult the ball with backhanded fling to the great wall eighty yards away is no less graceful than the sweeping hurl of the discobOlus, while the vigorous contest under the lee of the wall, where the ball is shot from the "chistera," the curved wickerwork glove, with marvellous rapidity, affords an unlimited display of resourceful tactics. The referee, bright-colored beret on head, sings the score in set refrain and the applause thunders from the crowd as Chiquito, or Mel chior, or some other national hero of this "pelote basque" game earns his need of praise.

feature in telephone practice. The report charge will be equivalent to about one-fourth of the station to station day rate. In no case will the report charge be less than 10 cents, nor more than $2. Of course, the maximum report charge will apply only on calls of great distances.
 "As stated, the 24-hour day is di- vided into three periods with vary ing rates, but it must be understood that day rates will apply on all calls, other than those made on a station to station basis, whether they are made during the day, even ing or night.
 "In other words, the reductions allowed during the periods when the evening rate and the night rate lis in effect, will apply only on sta ton to station calls and the mini mum reduced rate for such calls is 25 cents.
 "The evening rate will be in force from 8:3O to 12 midnight. The rates during this period, on station to station calls only, will be about OAAC-ud11 O1 IuS SCdtlOH udy TdCSS.
 "The night rate will be in force from 12 midnight to 4:30 a. m. The rates during this period, on station to station calls only, will be about one-quarter of the station ot sta tion' day rates.
 ''For the purpose of applying the evening and night rates, the time of day at the point at which mes sage originates, will be used.
 Collect calls are calls for which the charges are reversed and billed against the called subscriber and will be allowed only in connection with calls rated on the person to person basis.
 ''The telephone company has com- pleted chart which shows the ac- tual rates between all exchanges in Connecticut and which includes in- formation regarding the initial talk 1 ing periods, overtime charges and other featurese of the changes. This chart will be available for distribu- tion at an early date. Meanwhile, specific rates to given points will be furnished at the office of the tele- phone company upon request"

British Self Control.

Behind every manifestation of thought or emotion the Briton retains control of self, and is thinking l: That's all I'll let them see," even : That's all I'll let myself feel" This stoicism is good in its refusal to be foundered bad in that 1t fosters 8 narrow outlook starves emotion, spon- taneity and frank sympathy; destroys grace and what one may describe roughly as the lovable side of person ality.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES

Throughout the state from time to time the leading daily and weekly Rspers have given more or less space tO criticising that part of the Con stitution which makes it necessary for a Supreme Court Justice to re Gre at the age of seventy. The Hartford Courant makes the follow, ing comment which refers to Judge A. T. Roraback of this place:
 "T'he people of Connecticut hold the supreme court in high esteem, as they should There will be general regret that Chief Justice s. o. Prentice should be retired by the constitution at this time, when his head is as clear as IL was when he was fifty and his mind is riched by twenty years of valuable experience. The same ' absurd and outgrown provision of the constitution puts Justice Rora- back out of business where he has UDEed so useful public servant.
 Anybody who talks with him gets a sense of the undesirability of this
 constitutional provision. The state xaffers from it's widespread expul- sion of able men from responsible
 position from judge of probate to < the supreme bench"
 There is no question but that thi. constitutional provision is doing a. mach injury to the Supreme Cour as il. is injustice to Judge Rorabacl and others who are removed because of reaching the age limit. We be lexs in the old saying that "a man il us:csd as he feels" and in the case o. Indgn Rsraback, from his mental ant pkvsicata condition, we doubt if h, feels seventy.

THAT HASTY M0RElHG MEAL
Man Who Had Only One Egg for Breakfast Airs His Troubles on

He worked in an office of a public utilities corporation. His principal recreation between home and office is dealing philosophy to the other feI- lows on back platform. This morning 1t was one egg for breakfast.
 eve been reading lot lately" he said. according to the Indianapolis News. about women making the home a business institution. They're bring ing lecturers to town who preach busi- ness in housekeeping. It's some fancy philosophy. thu: stuff.
 "This morning I had one egg for bl eakfaSt. My wife said she forgot to get anything else. We had a nice din- ner last night, but she didn't think we'd want anything for breakfast, I guess. Of course, eggs are luxuries, I'll admit. but one egg wouldn't fill my cavity.
 "The question is, why didn't she think about breakfast just as of din- nerf That would be businesslike. No real business man would run his estab- hsbment without giving some thought to keeping up his stock. Breakfast is a meal just as much as dinner. I'd die with only one egg for dinner. And yet she expected me to work all morn ing on one lone shot of hen fruit. No, she isn't stingy. She just forgot to prepare for breakfast, that's all. Most women make breakfast a haphazard, cEtch-as-catch-can affair. I'm against it. It should be one of the real meals of the day, the oHe on which a fel- low goes to work.
 But women can't be businesslike in home management. Since they don't have to clean chimneys or start fires or sweep, they've become idlers. Want to be downtown all the time. Mati- nees, cards, gymnasium stuff and things like that constitute the busi- ness they're engaged in. That's why they only think of one egg for break fast. Home is an institution far re- moved from their thoughts"

Fountains In Lisbon.

A delightful feature that attracts the attention in Lisbon, the capital of POr- tugal, is the many fountains to be found everywhere. Here are figures of Neptune, or Obelisks of marble j; there are a sculptured Venus and Adonis, and again, as on the Largo do Carlno, an original erection in the form of temple, and elsewhere simply the hollowed shell and a faucet with chained cup. Some of them are beau tiful, all are interesting by reason of the picturesque groups which collect around them to draw and fetch water. The women, says an exchange, have as free and graceful q carriage in bal ancing their large water jars sideways on the head as the women of the Ori- ent.

WEATHER STRIPPING
 WILL SAVE YOU COAL

Following are a few suggestions by the United States Fuel Administration on weather stripping" of houses, to save coal:
 It is best to put weather stripping on all doors and windows because, there is a heat loss through every one, no matter how tight they might be. By all means strip those which are loose, or which have large crevices.
 All doors and windows which have a northern exposure should be care fully stripped. Windows thus exposed would be much better protected if dou- ble windows are provided, because there Is a certain amount of heat loss through the glass.

SELLING STAMPS

The sales on war savings stamps and thrift stamps have decreased to Each an extent that only small fraction of the number sold each month last year have been sold so far this year. Not only are the peo- Rie of this town buying a n.urh smaller number of these stamps, but in many cases, according to Postmaster Roberts, they arc cash ing the stamps purchased last year. This would indicate that many be- Eeye the government no longer needs these small sums which were loaned in the practically the same manner as on Liberty bonds, which is far from correct.
 It was generally taken for granted that the people who purchased these stamps did so not only for the in terest@ which they returned, but for patriotic reasons. While the sale of these stamps is not so necessary as EastSyear, decreased sales and the wholesale cashing of stamps would
 make It.. necessary for the govern mentr to raise such money in some ether manner.
 Show your patriotism a little Bnger by holding these stamps, which will make you richer and help the government, too.

To Aunt Esther

We are old, very old Sister Cunning, But really why should we care, For isn't it nice to wear glasses? And have pretty gray in the hair? We have passed glorious morning, Passed the toll and heat of the day, And now as the shadows are falling, The sun sinking low in the west We'll quietly sit in the twilight And peacefully sink to our rest. Perhaps when we wake from our
 slumbers, In that land where nothing e'er
 mars,
 One gleam of it's radiant brightness We'll find our own home 'mid the
 stars.

Poetry Simpler Than Prose.

Poetry only naively acknowledges the ecstatic monOtOny that lives in the heart of all rhythm, brings 1t out into the light, and there openly weaves upon 1t the patterns of melodic sound. Poetry Is thus the more natural, and both historically and psychologically the more primitive of the two arts. It Is the more simple. Meter, and even rhyme, which Is but a colored, light drumbeat, accentuating the meter, are not ornaments" or "refnements" or something else which may be called "rhythmical speech" They are the heart of rhythmic speech expressed and exposed with a perfectly child like and candid grandeur. Prose is the refinement. Prose Is the sophisti- cated and studio accompaniment-a thing that infinite numbers of people have not the fineness of endowment or cultivation either to write or read. Prose is 8 civilized sublimation of po- etry, in which the original healthy in. toxicant note of the tomtom is so laid over with fine traceries of related sound that 1t can no longer be iden- tified at all except by the analytical eye of science.-New Republic.
