"Do you know," he said, "that when I wrote the 'Nabob 1 worked twenty hours every day. One beoomes intoxi cated with work, and I found that my digestion was much better if I ate while I worked. I always took ray meals to my writing table, and the result was invari ably satisfactory. You know that if you go to bed immediately after eating the digestion will aceompUsh iuelf during sleep.

Then I write out those notes, crossing them o.7 he pockctbook with a red pencil as I go alonsr. The notes, ;ut" after they are writun. are copied cleanly by my wife, who corrects any little errors of ledundancy which I may have com- mittod. 1 then, take my wife's copy anJ go through it very carefully, adding And laughing lor tae Drat time,, is a con- formation of Weroglyphics which shock the eye. Toqre is only one man " in the world, wlio could, interpret them, and that ii my priyate secretary worth his weight in gold let me-say.' To this long-suffering penilemanT therefore, my illegible manuscripr passes, - and 4 from his hands it emerges, .nearly -what it ought to U, tut not quite. After a few quieter struggles, however. it is ready for the printer. My wife is a posi- tive boon to me. I on t really know what I shoul I do without her. A really curious ming, saia me auinor, "as that I iHt ?onttMrMVra JShc of tea till me that m novtls bore her. I think she really prefers my note- books. . "In mypinion," said iL Daudet, "we read too many books." What we want is to ceme to contact with life. There are those who make books from books, and - those who make books from what they see. There are books which are only the successors of other books, and these aro simply old works done op as new. According to my ideas a book should only be written when one has something to say. Don't go to your - commonplace sheets and collect together a number of extracts ani dish them up in book form. Go to the window and, look upon nat ure; then let us hear your own ideas about it." M. I'audet stretched out his arm and took an elegantly bound volume of his translated Shakespeare from its shelf, fingering it lovingly. s'When life is ex tremely t!at," he said, "and my wife comes to me with grievances about ser vants and interesting facts concerning legs of mutton and ribs of beef I fiy to my Shakespeare. My love for Shake 5 peare never changes. It is a most re . markable thing that all mj other tastes' afean?e.

I have tried my hardest. 1 have said to myself; Lverybody laughs, at him. What can be the. matter with mer But there I sit perfectly silent. Impossible to laugh, impossible to smile. Mark Twain to me is a sealed book." .Th.Kbbl's Brd. "Come by, and I will s&ow you some thing that will do to make an item of," said George Booth, the butcher, to a hungry reporter, recently. "The Jew ish rabbi has just been out to my slaughter pen and superintended the killing of a fine beef and two muttons. . The beef is not knocked in the head as we usually do, but he is strung up and his throat cut. When the beef has ble 1 to death the butcher opens it, and the rabbi inserts his hand into the inside of the beef and feel, its lungs and other internal arrangements until he is perfectly satisfied that the beef is sound and fit for tho followers of the rabbi to eat He then has it nicely dressed, and puts hid brand upon the four quarters of the beet J The brand is in Hebrew and looks moret Eke f hiero glyphics than anything else. This brand is a certificate that the beef has been examined and pronounced .good, and the ' Jews wui dot no-otner. me muttons are examined in the same manner, and on the fore shoulder of each one you can plainly see the stamp of the rabbi." The rabbi will attend to the butcher ing of these beeves and muttons three times a week, and from the manner of his examination the city could well do awav with the inspection of cattle: for' if there is the least thing wrong thet rabbi will discover it, and will not put' liis seal on the beef.

Featherston A CHILD ! My little son now seven years old broke oat when a babe three weeks wltb what the doctors called eczema, beginning on the head and Kradaallp spreading over his whole body. lie was treated for five or mote years by varions physicians without relief, and the little- boy's health was completely broken down. About a year ago I was induced : to ue on him Swift's Specific .and two bottles cured him soand and well, and therehas been no sign of a return, of the disease. F. O. Holmes. Talbotton, Ga., Sept. 12, 1881. Poisoned ly a Nurse. Some eight years ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood. The little child lin gered" alone until it was two years old, when Us little life was yielded up to the fearful poison. For six years I have suf fered untold misery. 1 was ooveied with sores and ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed to die. No language can express my feeling of woe durinsc those long six years. I had the best medical treatment. Several phpsi clans successfully treated me, but all to no purpose. The Mercury and Potash seemed to add fuel t o the awful flame;that was devouring me,about three months ago I was ad-:r mmjr s. Speoiflc vised to.r-Jsi4-v-V "-v" and I felt tirSwtasiJ5r hope again revive in my breast; but, alas! alas ! we had spent so much for medical treatment that we were too poor, to buy it. Oh! the agony of tnat moment! Health and happiness within our reach, but too poor to grasp It- I applied, however, to those who were willing and able to help me, audi have taken H wilt's Specihc, and am now strong and well once more. Swift's Specific is the best blood purifier in the wcrld, and the greatest blessing of the age. Mrs. '1. W. Lee Greenville, Ala Sept, 4. A Druggist For 25 Years. Auburn, AJU... Sept, 8, 1581. I am an old pharmacist, and have had to do large ly with blood diseases for over twenty, five years. I have dealt In all kinds of blood purifiers, and do not hesitate to say that Swift's Specific is the best and has given more satisfaction than any other that I have ever handled. Swift's Spe cific is an excellent tonic, and as an an tidote for malaria has no superior, Many ladles are using it as a tooic for gen eral ability, and find It the most satisfact ory one ever used. I have been dealing In Swift's Specific for five years or more, and am satisfied that I do not place too high an estimate upon its merits, G. W.Drxox. . Prescibed by Physicians. . I have prescribed Swift's Specific in many cases of Blood poison and as a gen eral tonic, and it has made cures after all other remedies have failed. R. M. Strickland, M. D., , Cave Springs, Ga.
