Sho tried several ways, but he said no, that tho way to spell adze was a d izzard e. But oar little clmps are happy now.

[London World.] For tho lifo of him, Stepniak. could not work regularly and methodically n3, for instanco, Anthony Trollope was won't to work. I-ikc nil men of nervous temperament, ho is moro in the vein at some times than at others, and, though the reverse of a desultory worker, he writca by fits nnd starts. But tho fits are of frequent occurrence, nnd when he finds ono coming on ho places him self under wlmt ho calls tho regirno littcraire. He goes to bed at midnight, rises at 2, nnd plies his pen without surceaso — savo for refreshment, which ho tastes as ho writes— until noon. Then ho Bleops for about threo hours, when ho again sets to work, und, until midnight, gives himself only ono or two short spells of rest. This goes on for fivo or six days a week, or until tho task ho has set hi m- self is accomplished; nnd while it is in progress he drinks enormous quantities of lea and colfco, ono aa black as tho other. hike all conscientious men of artistic feeling, ho does not find writing easy. Ho writes slowly and polishes with poetic care; thcro are whole chapter of hia “Underground Russia” which were written ami rewritten six times, nud even then sent to the printer with re luctance, so far from perfection did they tern.

If it was a girl, the was thinking “splendid,” “just too lovely for anything,” or something of that sort.
