Of a living litdary man, says the Syn, we
are toldthat "it is his ' custom to write

one-half that number. For a good- solid
day's Work of a man -of thought and know -
lege; 1,000 words are sufficient; and if on
any one day he writes twice that number
he shmild take a rest the :next day. .' We
are not .talking - of copyists or shorthand
reporters, but of men ,who think with all
their soul as they write with all -their

while it lasts, he Surpasses, •• on a long

told the legislators that in the next war'
with France Germany will need a large
-
army.:The - French, he said,. will form
several armies and advance on their old,
territory from different . points. The
strategy of the Germans will then be
offensive. If they should. be victorious the
. _
French army' would fall back onParisand
rely upon its fortresses. Count von Caprivi
mapped out a pretty good fighting campaign
for his countrymen.- They would be campelled
to invest three fortresses, arid for this
would need- three divisions. -Then they
would have to capture some of the barring
