ODDITIES OF AUTHORS Trivialties in Character of Noted Men of the Past Alexander Pope, who was the literary pontiff of his time, thought best when in bed. Whenever a thought came to him he would jot it down on a scrap of paper. His servant often found bedclothes and floor covered with white bits containing aphorisms which have now become hackneyed quotations. Victor Hugo wrote "Les Miserables" standing up, an attitude which Hawthorne also assumed when he wrote many of his romances. One leg thrown over the arm of a chair or sitting on the arm of his secretary's chair were Napoleon's favorite positions while dictating to Bourrienne, a position which he varied now and then by patting that scribe on the head or pulling his ears. Sir Walter Scott could, while reclining on a lounge, dictate to two amanuenses, who frequently had to stop writing, so funny the dictated passages seemed to them. Balzac, in a monk's robe, frequently wrote from midnight till noon, taking draughts of strong coffee when drowsiness attacked him, and thus shortening his life by many years, no doubt. William Morris made one of his famous translations from the Greek while riding on the steam cars. Walt Whitman and Horace Traubel, original in all things, were most original in the position they took while thinking. They were wont, so Mr. Traubel says, to climb upon a pile of lumber and lie down upon their backs. In that way each found out what the other's best thoughts wree. A man more absolutely governed by pure reason than Lord Macaulay could not well be found, but in his NEW FOREST ASSISTANTS AND THEIR WORK San Francisco, July 6.—Of the forty-seven graduates of nine American Forest Schools who have just received appointments as Forest Assistants in the Administrative Districts of the Forest Service, seven have been assigned to positions in this district. The names of these new appointees and the schools from which they are graduated in forestry are as follows: R. S. Maddux, Belknap Goldsmith, J. D. Coffman, and A. H. Hodgson, of Yale; E. V. Jotter and J. A. Mitchell, of Michigan, and S. W. Allen, of Iowa State College. These men have secured their appointments as a result of passing the regular Civil Service examination, which is the only avenue of employment as a forester under the government. Forest Assistants are men who have completed their preliminary training for the profession of forestry, as the graduates of law or medicine have completed theirs, and are ready to enter upon practical work. Until they have gained experience, however, their positions are necessarily subordinate. They are at the foot of the ladder and must prove their fitness to mount higher. The government pays them $1,000 a year at the start. On the National Forests the Forest Assistant often acts as technical adviser to the Supervisors in charge, who are western men experienced in all practical matters, but usually without school training in the science of forestry. Or they may be assigned to the study of some particular problem which needs to be investigated in the interest of good forest management.

They were wont, so Mr. Traubel says, to climb upon a pile of lumber and lie down upon their backs. In that way each found out what the other's best thoughts wree. A man more absolutely governed by pure reason than Lord Macaulay could not well be found, but in his diary he refers to an after dinner talk about the feeling which Johnson had—of thinking oneself bound to touch a particular rail or post and to tread in the middle of a paving stone, and he adds: "I certainly have this very strongly." In one of his Hibbert lectures Max Muller said to the students: "Many of you, I suspect, carry a ha'penny with a hole in it for luck. I am not ashamed to own that I have done so myself for many years." Charles Dickens refused to lie down unless his bed was placed due north and south. He gave notice of the rule before arriving at a friend's house or a hotel, but a compass was always handy in his bagage to make sure. Mrs. Justin McCarthy has told how Parnell gravelly checked her stirring coffee "the wrong way" and insisted that she should take another cup. NO OFFENSE The allurement which an elopement holds for romantic natures is not likely to be diminished by a ruling by Judge Adams in the United States District Court a few days ago, that the arrest of a man for running away with the lady of his choice is not such a serious blot on his record as to prevent his becoming a citizen of the United States. One of the questions put to the would-be voter is, "Have you ever been arrested?" Rudolph Joseph Maller, who is an editor, stopped and paused a moment when the query was addressed to him. Then he said to the judge: "Yes, sir, I was, but that was a long while before I came to America." The judge, who appeared somewhat surprised at the admission, glanced at Clerk John Cartwright of the Naturalization Bureau, and then said to Maller, "What was the charge?" "It was this way, your honor," replied Maller; "back in Roumania I wanted On the National Forests the Forest Assistant often acts as technical adviser to the Supervisors in charge, who are western men experienced in all practical matters, but usually without school training in the science of forestry. Or they may be assigned to the study of some particular problem which needs to be investigated in the interest of good forest management. As forestry means knowing how to get the most out of any given piece of forest land, it calls for studies and experiments, both scientific and practical, much like those which have to be made in the interests of good farm management, and the Forest Assistant is prepared to do valuable work along this line. There is a growing interest in the profession of forestry now, and many young men are asking how to get into it, and what it promises. Gifford Pinchot, United States Forester, in an address to the graduating class in forestry at Harvard University this year, said: "The government and the country need more men trained in the knowledge of forestry, and it offers opportunity to make a man's life loom large and to count for much among the many phases of human endeavor. To be a good forester a man should combine something of the naturalist with a good deal of the business man. To know how to use the forest he must be able to study it. He must have, therefore, the power of observation, a fondness for nature, and the ability to penetrate her secrets. He must be resourceful, able to stand by himself, willing to undergo the privations of rough life, and capable of commanding the respect of rough men, who quickly recognize virility and genuineness of character, but will not tolerate pretense or the assumption of superiority. A forester should be sound in mind and body, and should make the fullest college portion for the service. This service means a free, vigorous life in the open air, and a clear, straight, fine, wholesome manly condition of life."

The judge, who appeared somewhat surprised at the admission, glanced at Clerk John Cartwright of the Naturalization Bureau, and then said to Maller, "What was the charge?" "It was this way, your honor," replied Maller; "back in Roumania I wanted to marry a girl, but her father didn't care about me. We thought we could outwit him, but he evidently thought we were up to something. We eloped, but were just married when I was arrested on his complaint They finally let me go." "Well," said the judge, with a smile, "I don't think your being arrested on that charge serves to make you an undesirable citizen. Application granted." MANANA TAMBIEN When a Maine man first went to Panama, and knew nothing of the Spanish language, the only replies he got to questions he asked of the natives was "no se" (don't know) and "manana" (tomorrow). Everywhere he went, to every question he asked, it was "no se" and "manana." Again and again he heard them—day after day—and finally decided to ask no more questions. About the third day in Panama he saw a funeral procession passing the hotel. "Whose funeral is it?" he asked of a man standing beside him. "No se." "D——n glad of it," he ejaculated, in disgust. "And I hope that 'manana' fellow will die tomorrow." Alfalfa hay for sale by Dickel's. HOW TO LIVE LONG A Paris contemporary has been instructing its readers how to live to a good age, drawing its conclusions from the lives and writings of distinguished men. Michael Eugene Chevreul, the celebrated French chemist, who lived 100 years, was always very frugal in regard to his diet and considered a happy disposition to be an important factor contributing to his long life. Victor Hugo had a tablet on the wall of his house with the following: "Rising at 6, dining at 10, supping at 6, retiring at 10 make the life of man ten times ten." The secret of Moltke's health lay in his great moderation in all things. Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson declared that those who wished to reach a century must neither smoke nor drink. They should eat sparingly of meat, work as little as possible by artificial light, trouble themselves little about making a fortune and never allow ambition to rule their lives. AUSTRIAN LOSSES In the article last week upon the battle of Koeniggratz the losses of the Austrian army should have read 45,000 instead of 450,000. The error was an obvious indiscretion of the types, but none the less it was immediately pointed out by several of our Austrian fellow-townsmen. MOUNT TAMALPAIS TO BECOME PUBLIC PARK SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.—Mount Tamalpais, famous among the tourists of the world as the location of the crookedest railroad, and almost equally noted as the most conspicuous scenic point about San Francisco bay, will be shortly converted into a vast public park, if the plans of some of the leading citizens of the transbay cities prove successful. Besides being used as a public park, the mountain will become the source of a municipal water supply for the transbay cities, as it is the water district set aside by the last legislature. At the head of the committee promoting the affair is William Kent, who gave the Muir redwoods to the government for a national park. This park is situated on the slope of the mountain. MOTHERS AS MATCHMAKERS If in the village of Tigara, in northwestern Alaska, one sees a young man beating out a piece of metal and fashioning a finger-ring, it is usually intended for some young woman; but it remains for the meeting of the two mothers to arrange matters. The two families may be living close together, yet the mother of the young man will call on her neighbor, and tell her how she has intended to be more neighborly, but she has been so busy. The neighbor will declare how delighted she is to see her. Then the visitor begins to tell how good her son is. Further, they never go hungry, as her son is such a fine hunter that he brings home plenty of food. The girl's mother, in return, dilates on her daughter's skill as a cook, and VICTOR RESERVOIR Surveys began this week for the preliminary work on the Victor dam site at the narrows of the Mojave river. It is said that the last money has been paid over to the Hesperia Land and Water company for the site by the Mojave River Development company, a recently organized company of San Francisco and eastern capitalists who are preparing to carry out the long projected work of impounding the waters of the Mojave river for irrigation and power purposes. The dam site is at a point near Victorville, where the Mojave flows through a narrow pass in a range of hills and on either side solid walls of rock rise for several hundred feet. Thousands of acres of rich land on the desert side of the San Bernardino mountains will be brought under cultivation. WHAT SHE COULD DO It was at Montauk Point, after our soldiers had returned from Cuba. It happened one day that a pretty young woman of 16 was endeavoring to cheer those around her, when she overheard a soldier exclaim, "Oh, Lord." Thinking to rebuke him for his profanity, she said: "Didn't I hear you call upon the name of the Lord? I am one of his daughters. Can I ask him something for you?" Looking up into her bright, cheer-even stole the clock off the mantle you can, miss." What is it you wish?" she asked.
