Writing for the Press.

Waste no time on introductions.
Don't begin by laying out your sub.
ject like q Dutch flower garden, or
telling your motives for writing. The
Key note should be struck, if posi-
BILE, in the very first sentence. A
dull beginning eften damns an arti-
Gle; spicy one whets the appetite,
and commends what follows TO both
editor and reader. Above all, stop
when you are done. Don't let the
ghost of your thought wander about
after the death of the body. Don't
waste moments time in vlndicat-
ing your production, against editors
or critics, but expend your energies
in writing something which shall be
its own vindication.

Dry Beds and Damp Beds.

1t is not sufficiently known that all
most all substances have the proper
ty of absorbing moisture from the at
mosphere. Linen is remarkable for
this property the same may be said
of feathers, and in less degree of
wool ; hence the difficulty of keeping
a bed dry, unless it is constantly used
or exposed to warmth from a fire.
Merely covering a bed up with bIan-
kets and Counterpart will no more
keep it dry than pane of glass will
keep out light; the atmospheric mois-
ture will pass through every woven
fabric. Damp beds, unfortunately,
are generally found in the spare or
visitors room ; hence the persons of.
ten most welcome in house suffer
from this terrible evil. Spare beds
should never have anything but a
slight coverlet to keep them clean,
and it should be put upon them when
not in actual use. People often fancy
that damp is only in the sheets, but it
is in all the other clothes A bed
will be much dryer by itself than with
blankets and Counterpart upon it, Ev-
cry spare room that is at all likely to
be used by visitors, should have a
good fire in it at least every third or
fourth day during the winter, and the
bed shonld be we'll turned in the in.

keep beds dry, to change them from
one room to another every week, so

How Much do ] Cost You !?

A little daughter, ten years old,
lay on her death bed. 1t was hard
to part with the pet of the family !;
the golden hair, the loving blue eyes,
the bird-lke voice, the truthful, affec-
tionate chile. How coull she be
given up? Between this child and
her fatherAthere had always existed,
not relationship merely, but the
love of congenial natures. He fell
upon his knees beside his darling's
bedside ard wept bitter tears. He
strove to Say but could not, "Thy
will be donen Ii was conflict be-
tween grace and nature, such as he
had never before experienced. His
sobs disturbed the child, who had
been lying apparently unconscious.
She opened her eyes and looked dis
tressed.
"Papa, dear papa" she said at
length.
"What, my darling ?" asked her
father, striving for composure.
"Papa," she asked in faint broken
tones, show much do | cost you
every year ~
Hush dear, be quiet !" he replied
in great agitation, for he feared de-
lirium was coming. Rs
Shut please papa, how much do
cost you ?"
To soothe her, he replied, though
with shaking voice. "WeIl dearest,
perhaps two hundred dollars. What
then darling?" because papa, l
thought maybe you would lay it out
this year in bibles for poor children
to remember me by"
A beam of heavenly JOY glanced
in the fathers heart ; the Joy of one

parting, the lonely failure. Naught
remained but the mission of love, and
a thrill of gratitude that he and his
beloved were co-workers.
