How to Write for the Papers.

THE Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it says: Communications
should be brief, and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place, news
paper space is valuable. The modern
newspaper is never troubled with the
old-time complaint of needing "some-
thing to fill up" The editors scalpel
is constantly reeking from the slaughter
of live news matter and interesting mis-
cellany. Short communications are
much more likely to find readers than
long ones are, and unless they are to be
read it is much better not to publish
them. More contributions can be rep
resented where the articles are short
than when they are long, and one man
has as strong claim upon the columns
as another, providing he furnishes as
interesting matter. A short article is
usually more pithy and pointed than a
long one. A subject should have many
qualifications to demand more than half
a column in newspaper, while all that
could be saved even from that limit up
to certain point is apt to be an i'm
provement. That prince of journalists,
the late Samuel Bowles, once apologized
for long editorial, and gave as his ex-
cuse lack of time to write short one.
He expressed an important truth in his
usual epigrammatic way.

An AmphibiOus Maiden.

THE Honolulu (Sandwich Islands)
Advertsser says: Passing along King
Street last week we noticed gathering
of natives, in the center of which was a
middle-aged man of rather sickly
aspect, and young girl of sixteen to
eighteen years. Drawing near we
found it was one of those who had been
washed overheard from the Waoli, and
the girl was his daughter. He was
relating his experience while overheard
about an hour and half. When
thrown into the sea the man had on
heavy sea boots and thick clothing.
After swimming awhile he began to
find it difficult to keep above water,
and told his daughter that he must
soon give up-his heavy boots would
sink him. She encouraged him to per-
severe, and she would try and rid him
of the boots. She then dove beneath
him, and after several attempts actually
succeeded in removing the heavy boots,
which, of course, fitted very loosely.
She dove again and removed his thick
wooden pants, which impeded his swim
ming, and then assisted him in getting
off his peajacket. Thus lghtened he
was able to keep his head above water
until at length the vessels boat came
along ana picked them up.

INCUBATION OF SCARLATINA.-I In the
transactions of the Clinical Society, the
conclusions of DR.. Murchison, concern
ing the incubation period of scarlatina
are thus presented. First, the duration
of the incubation stage may be only a
few hours; second, probably in large
proportion of cases it does not exceed
forty-eight hours; third, it very rarely
exceeds seven days-consequently, a
person who has been exposed to scarlet
fever and does not sicken after weeks
quarantine may be pronounced. safe.
Many facts show, he thinks. that scar
latina has an injecting power from the
earliest stage of the malady, although
the comparative facility of preventing
its spread in a school, when the first
case is promptly isolated, points to this
power being much less during the first
two or three days than in the case of
measles; on the other hand, scarlatina
has the power of injecting over
period of many weeks-no case, in fact,
can be regarded as safe until the eXpi-
ration of the eighth week.

How Mr.. Aldrich Wrote ssMariorie
Daw."

In his short stories," says the Bos-
ton Herald, "Mr. Aldrich has achieved
peculiar distinction. They nearly all
deal in some remarkable surprise which
the reader can in no way discount, al
though he may feel absolutely certain
he knows how the thing is going to end.
Marjorie Daw' is the most famous of
Mr.. Aldrich's stories. Mr.. Aldrich was
impelled to write it by his desire to do a
story in letter form, for the stories in
that shape he had read had impressed
him as being the dullest of all dull
things, but he felt that it was really the
most dramatic form for a short story,
each letter forming a scene by itself.
He was occupying Elmwood, Mr.. James
Russell Lowell's home in Cambridge, at
the time. The letters, he thought,
should be written between two young
gentlemen, who were intimate friends,
the one spending the summer vacation
at the seashore and writing to the other
about a young lady there, getting the
absent one interested in her. But if one
was at the seashore, why would not the
other one 60 there tooP He would fix
that by breaking his leg and laying him
up at his home in the city. His inten-
ton was for the young man at the shore
to get his friend in town in love with the
young lady, and at the same time I'M
Willingly become so interested that he
would fall in love with her himself, and
at last, when his city friend recovered
and rushed down to see him and
meet his fate, the latter would
ind id vi
He carried the story something like half
through with this intention, when it oc-
CURED to him to make Majorie Daw
purely imaginary, fiction with which
the young man at the shore sought, in
his letters, to beguile his sick friend
He wrote the rest of the story under the
second plan, and then went back and
changed a few things in the first letters
to make them consistent. When he
finished the story he showed all but the
last page, containing the catastrophe,
to friend, a veteran novel reader, who
had called to see him, telling him he
had something there which would puz-
zle him to tell how it was to end. He
read it through and said it was clear
enough to see the result, and he foretold
it as Mr.. Aldrich had originally intend
ed. 'Well,' said Mr.. Aldrich, ssince
you know you may as well read the rest
of it, and handed him the last letter.
His friend was fairly unnerved by the
result, and he hardly recovered for ten
minutes or so.
GA curious circumstance connected
with the writing of Marjorie Daw was
that at one end of Mr.. Lowell's study
there stood writing desk, and, at the
other end chair with writing table
attached to the arm, and that Mr..
Aldrich wrote the story sitting alter
nately in these two places. When at
the desk he was the young man in the
city, laid up with his broken leg, writing
to the seashore, and when in the chail
he was at the seashore writing to the
city. Had he not done this, Mr.. Aldrich
says, he could not have kept his char
acter and the style of the letters so clear
ly and sharply distinct, but with the
change of place, he seemed to change
his own identity"

INDIA is coming forward as a tea
growing country, and in 1879 furnished
Great Britain nearly one-fifth OF its
annual supply. The tea product OF
India is steadily increasing, having
risen from 27,814, 900 pounds in 1876 to
So, APO, 900 in 1878. The teais stronger
and cheaper than the Chinese teas, but
is said to be not so mildly favored.
Small consignments which have reach
cd this country, however, have been
highly praised by New York tea-tasters.
AS the English statutes against adulter-
alton are vigorously enforced in India,
1000 chests of tea adulterated by
Dust were burned recently. Indian
teas are not "faced' or colorcd as
Chinese teas are, and the leaf presents
a more irregular appearance. The new
teas as they come into use are likely to
displace the Chinese teas of the lower
grade, result generally desirable.
