There is a widely spread belief that
pien of letters “dash things off" in the
fino frenzy of the lnomeut. and that the
__
hysteria of composition is succeeded by
EMILE ZOLA AT HIS DESK,
intenso melancholy or a craving for
drink aud drugs. Large excuse may lie
made for this view. School boys and
girls study “English literature,” or,
rather, commit to memory biographies
of noted writers, with whose produc
tions they never become familiar unless
opportunity or inclination gives a read
ing tendency to their adult years. They
know that Cowper and Lamb suffered
from great mental depression, but they
have small acquaintance with “John
Gilpin's Ride" or the “Essays of Elia.”
De Quincey and Coleridge have a reputa
tion as laudaunm drinkers among people
who never read tho "Confessions” or
“Christabel.”
Poe's "Murder in the
Rue Morgue" is a sealed book to many
who are familiar with t'ae tragedy of
his lifelong, struggle against appetite,
and nine-tenths of those who accept as
true Byron's intentionally extravagant
statement that he "wrote ‘Don Juan’ on
gin" have yet to peruse his magnificent
“Curse of Minerva."
The authors named possessed weak
nesses like men of less celebrity, but
their literary fame was in no way ac
quired by "dashing tilings off.” They
had to work, nnd work hard, weighing
here the relative value of a word and
there the accuracy of a phrase, and, ton
great extent, their frailties were self ex
aggerated. They were saddled with an
egotism similar to that displayed by the
eloquent Tom Marshall. That gifted son

of Kentucky when in congress was wont
to aheent himself from the sessions for
days at a time. Then he would take his
seat, bearing all the outward marks of a
long debauch.
During a debate, and
apparently on the spur of tho moment,
he would rise and deliver a speech glow
ing with wit, imagery, profound infor
mation and pathos indescribable. The
listeners would remain spellbound till
the close of the magnificent effort, raid
then remark: “Great heavens! What
that man might accomplish if he'd let
whisky alone!" It afterward developed
that Mr. Marshall's times of seclusion
were passed not in dissipation, but 4.1 the
closest study of the subject on which hi-
intended to talk. His splendid [icrioiLi
were carefully turned by the light of the
midnight oil, and their delivery under
conditions suggesting something else
was simply a final touch of dramatic dis
play.
A rather badly informed reviewer
hinted not long ago in the columns of a
New Yorkpapor that Z-ila and Dumas
"put themselves in their books" nu-l
doubtless lived lives similar to those
they depicted. Nothing could be fur
tber from the truth. The English and
American celebrities mentioned above

at ear». His breathing is oppressed, the
forehead is wrinkled and tbo expression
one of torment.” By unremitting in
dustry Zola lias won his peculiar place
in modern literature. Grave objection
may be advanced to much that he has
done, yet few pen pictures can equal in
I tremendous realism that paragraph
which describes blind Nana's struggle
tor life and the drowning of her cries by
the roars of the populace urging Napo
leon's soldiers “On to Berlin!”
Dumas also has conquered success only
by efforts almost marvelous. It took
him ten years to get a favorable hearing
for “Camille.” Now both the play aud
novel of that name are known, wept
over, criticised and denounced or praised
throughout the civilized world. The
“Affaire Clemenceau” is his latest con
tribution to the stage, but he would
doubtless hesitate before acknowledging
responsibility for the translations offered
to American theater goers as "The Clem
enceau Case.” After long years of ardu
ous application he claims 11 well earned
right to leisure, and his study “looks
more for show than for work, wltilo his
manners uro those rather of an ambassa
dor in dalliance titan a man of letters iu
employment.”
Another French novelist consumed
with a “fierce hunger for toil” is Al
phonse Daudet. Some timo ago he lay
ill, and the doctors gave him uo hope of
recovery. He received their practical
sentence to death with calmness, but
there was a task to finish. “Numa Rou-
mestan,” that wonderful story of a south
ern Frenchman's foibles and genius, hud

her to bis bedside and told her how to
close the novel. "I will do your bidding,”
said she. The sick man smiled and fell
asleep contented. He awoke refreshed,
and, much to tho nstoiiialimciit of his
physicians, recovered, “■is study has
little characteristic, but isYnll of books,
aud would look methodical but for the
litter on the table.”
George Ohnet, whose “Master of the
Forges" is seen on the American stage
and sold in tlio American bookstores,
works as hard ns Zola, had Tis bitter an
experience 11« that of Dumas, mid, like
Daudet, owes much to liis wife, who is
his first critic nnd who copies all his
manuscript for tho printer. “Le Maitre
de Forges” was written first as a play.
The managers wouldn't tako it as 11 gift.
Then Ohnet turned it into a novel, which
became iiu nertbely popular. After that
the play got a hearing and scored a tri
umph. Neatness marks every detail of
Ohnet's stu-ly, where I10 scrupulously
spends four hours a day. In one partic
ular place on the desk always stands the
ink bottle, and the spot devoted to blank
paper is never under any consideration
given up to anything else.
Paris claims Zola, Dumas. Daudet and
Olinct alike for citizens. The last named
alono possesses money not earned with
the pen, but all are wealthy. Bra..m

THE LIFE OF A REPORTER.

Two Recent Example«.
During the late Indian outbreak near
Pine Ridge agency, in South Dakota, the
world at largo was indebted for most of
its news to Charles II. Cressey. Ordi
narily ho reports the proceedings of tho
local courts for the Omaha Bee, but early
in November ho was selected to go to the
front. For nearly two months, and un
til after the Wounded Knee tight of Dec.
29, Mr. Cressey's telegrams afforded the
only full daily report« given out.
CHARLES H. CRESSEY.
The conditions under which Mr. Cres
sey worked entaile I many weary rides
aud much hartlship. Tho nearest rail-
roiid and telegraph point, Rtishvillo,
Neb., was twenty-eight miles distant,
and some of the timo the road was beset
by Indians. News telegrams had to bo
sent by courier. Mr. Cressey was an
eyewitness of tbo Wounded Knee fight.
It began about half-past U in the morn
ing, and it was after 1*3 o’clock before it
wa3 safe to wander about the field. Be
tween it and Rushville were over fifty
miles of hill and plain. It was neces
sary to reach the telegraph ofiico by 6
o'clock in order to get the wire.
An offer of seventy-five dollars tempt
ed a daring rider, and heagreod to make
the attempt if he could have the dis
patch by 1 o’clock. The correspond
ent had less than an hour in which to
view tho field, gather the names of such
killed and wounded soldiers as ho found
at tho umbubmeo wagon, and amid
scenes of blood and excitement write his
report.
The faithful courier reached
the telegraph office on time. Mr. Cres
sey’s message was sent broadcast, and
the country was startled the next morn
ing by his graphic, even though short
and inoomt»lete, description of the fight.
So unexpected was th« Indian onslaught
that five minutes before it began tho
correspondent mingled among the red
skins without fear of danger.
Mr. Cressey was born in Minnesota.
After graduating from a high school he
entered Chicago university. He began
his newspajv r career at Des »Moines. la
He went to Omaha and applied to The
Republican for a ¡»osition. The city ed
itor told him to “goout, write up some
thing and bring it in,” intimating that
his fate hung on tho result An assign
ment might have been an easy task, but
for an utter strang. r. with no knowledge
of what had already been “handled" by
the paper, to turn up an important item
wns difficult In looking around, how
ever, Cressey saw some men digging a
trench in tho middle of a side street On
inquiry he found it was the beginning of
Omaha’s cable car system. His news
sense told him he bad a good thing, and
he hnnted up the head of the enterprise,
a kindly g«utieman, who showed him the
plans and filled him full of facts. The
next morning his article appeared under
a big head on the first page, and he has

Au English agricultural exchange tells
very truly how there occurs a gradual
elimination of lime in pasture In mis,
even in limestone districts. Want of
lime is indicated by coarseness of licrl>-
age, sourneM ami a want of clovers. Tbo
grass grows rank, and the finer species
are ousted by inferior descriptions. It
is not so much a deficiency of quantity
as of quality which is discernible. Marl
is a suitable dressing for such land, but
in districts where this substance is not
available burnt lime may lie used with
equal if not KUfiorior results. The effect
of a dressing of 150 to 200 bushels of
quicklime is mn in an increased growth
of white clover and leguminous herbage,
and in a general improvement of quality
in the grasi
The authority qnotel inclines to the
system of making one largo heap of lime
conveniently near the field and applying
it after si lking. The small heap qra
tern, which is admirable in the case c<
arable laud, is unsuitable for grass, lie-
cause the gra s is bunit on the site of
every heap. This we should avoid by
making a large heap, as recommended.
The best periods are midsummer, after
th ■ fields have b. "n spring and snmmet

growth commences; or tho work may 1*

water baths must be largo enough to ad
mit this liiuket. Fill tho basket with
seed grain nnd immerse ft in the cooler
bath, keeping it there and stirring it
around until ail the grains are warmed,
then lift it out and plungo it into tho hot
hath, where it should remain from eight
to ten minutes, lieing stirred or agitated
meanwhile. Then relnovo it nnd dip it
into cold water, or spread the grain out
and throw cold water over it, after
which dry it sufficiently for sowing.
Ttio effect I vein1»« of this method do-
nenilsnpon having tho water hot enough
to destroy tho Mimi germs which may
lie adhering to the outside of the grains
of oats, lint not t o h it ns to destroy tho
germ of tho oats. Experiment has dem
onstrated that this may bo accomplished
by soaking tlio grain in water of the
temperature indicated. The reason for
using two vessels is that if one vessel
wero used tho water would be cooled too
much by the c >ld grain to accomplish
the purpose in view, or, if it were heated
hot enough to do this, it would lie so hot
as to destroy tho vitality of much of the
grain.

cludes re-grafting if th« variety is unpro

most old tries some free growing variety
succeeds best, as it is less likely to run
to wool than it is on its own stock. The
check caused by failure of tho old stock
to supply enough sap for the graft dis
poses it to fruit b .Tring. Thus with ap

From being skimped for millt during
the Winter farm peoplo and dairy tiled
will shortly have more than they can
handle profitably. Under there cirbnm-
stiuiccs it will lie well to thiilte the sur
plus up into some of the dainty soft
cheeses that are in dein.-itld in hot
weather. Professor Henry StewiiH gived
in The Rural New Yorker this fortliltlà
for making such a cheese:
A cream clttvsn of excellent quality
may bo made nA follows: The milk is set
in shallow pans, and at the end of tvrélvô
hours is moved carefully, wRlyont dis
turbing the cream, oil to a stove, wheri
it is warmed until the surface “crinkle«"
or moves in a shrinking manner. The
pans are then set back again tot thd
cream to rise fully. The latter is tiled
quite thick and tough, and in the condi
tion of “clouted cream.”
The cream may bo rolled up and lifted
off in a mass with a flat skimmer. It id
then put in molds, ttsnally obldrtg square,
about four inches long, threO Wide anti
two deep. They are bottoinlbss, anti are
placed on a clean napkin or cloth laid
over a straw mat. A cloth is laid upoil
tlio cream anil a Hjfht cover Of wood id
placed hpon it, vtitli il tefÿ light iteight
to make it compact. In twenty-font
hours tho cheese is firm cnongh to move,
and is tit to eat, having a very rich flavor,
with enough cheesy taste t
cheese. The heating coagula
men in the milk, and this ri
rest of tho cream and gives
bulk ami toughness. Probably tile alblt-
mcn adds something to the flavor ns well;
and this is exceedingly didicatu and pleas
ant.

Notes.
One question tli.it often puzzles dairy
men and those starting creameries and
cheese factories is this: Is the milk of
certain cow 1 le-st adapted to making
butter or clMs-se? There is one certaid
way to find out. Have the milk analyzed.
If itcontains more solid matter than fat,
then it is < li.-ese milk. If. on the oth«*f
band, it i-ontains over 3 |>er cent, of fat,
then it is loo rich to lie marie profitably
into chrwse. mid should lie turned intd
batter. Four per cent. fat is now thd
standard for butter making triilk to at
tain. Finally, if the milk contains littld
of either solids or fat«, don't make if
