WRITING FOR THE PRESS.
Some Valuable Hints by ssCauseur,'
i'm the Boston Transcript.

IN the bOSiOn Transcript
|. Write upon one side Of the sheet only
Why? Because 1t Is often necessary to cut the
pages into takes for the composltors. and
this cannot be done when both sides are writ
ten upon.
II. Write clearly and distinctly. being par
ucuiariY careful In the matter OF proper names,
and words from foreign Languages. Why?
Because you have no right TO ask either editor
or cornpositor TO waste his time pulling out
the results OF your selfishness
VII, IL: Don't write In a microscopic haad
WHY Because the compositor mas TO read it
across his case, at distance OF nearly two feet;
also, because the editor often wants 10 make
additions and other changes
~. Don't begin at the very top Of the first
page. Why? Because II you have written a
mead for your article. the editor viii probably
want TO change II; and II you have not. which
is the better way. he must write one. Besides
he wants room In which TO writs his inStruc-
lions TO the printer as TO the type TO be used,
where and when the proof Is to be sent, etc.
'. Never roll your manuscript, Why? Be-
cause IL maddens and exasperates every one
who touches it-editor, composltor and proof
reader.
VI. Be brief. Why. Because people don't
read long stories. The number OF readers which
any two articles have is inyersely proportioned
to the square Of their respective length. That
is, half column article is read by four times
as many people as one OF double t hat
VII. Have the fear OF tho waste basket con-
silently and steadily before your eyes. Why?
Because IL will save you vast amount OF use
less labor, to say nothing OF paper and post
age.
VIII. Always write your full name and ad-
dress plainly al the end OF your letter. Why?
Because it will often happen that the editor will
want to communicate With you, and because he
needs to know the writer's name IS guarantee
OF good faith. II you use q pseudonym or

An Argument Against Chipping
Horses.

The Chicago Tribune OF December IS has az,
article by DR.. George E. Foote, which is un-
qualified IN It's condemnation OF this practice.
TIE reasons offered, he says, In favor OF tie
practice Of clipping are:
The horse Is more spirited and goes faster
us is easier gr0omed AID requires less care.
liz dries of quicker after fast driving thai

sweat as much as wilh the hair 5d, which gets
wet and cold.
In wet. slusby and freezing weather the water
where II freezes, If unclpped, at the ends OF the
hair, and by its presence induces pneumonia.
The horse is healthier.
He looks better.
! have ready answers TO al! these reasons
when l think are based upon Physiological
truths.
That the horse can, for a time, go faster. we
readily ADMIT. De has less weight to carry by
Few ounces OF hair. He is more sensitive to
The cut OF the lash on Ills bare skin, and his
Tears impel him. Then. again, he is glad to run

He is easier groomed, or at least it Is to be
acknowledged that be gets less grooming. And
the same argument holds good that a man
should go naked to save the labor OF washing
his Clothes In state OF freedom the horse
grOoms himself TO his comfort, by rolling;
WINE IN bondage the comb and brush are used
as substitute. or course, II there Is no hair
there is less obstruction to friction; the dust is
easier removed from a smooth surface than
from rough one. We grant all this, and II
might bold good, were there no other penalty
That he don't sweat as much after hard
drive deny 1n toto. as this Is only an appear
ance. the moisture escapes from the surface
1nsenstbly BY evaporation, without contact with
the lair. II he does not sweat he ought to. and
he would die II he did not, as this Is one OF the
essential means for disposing OF the excessive
heat and wastes OF the system, greatly multi
piled by the violent exercise.
witness now the condition OF the Clipped
horse after hard drive. He L. brought into
the stable reeklng with perspiration; he Is COW
cred with blankets which, not unlike the hair
absorb the moisture as IL ooZes from the skin.
IL is objected that the hair, II left on, Is wet
from the excess We sweating. But where IA the
difference between the wet hair, which IS the
natural covering, or the wet blanket, which Is
the artificial one? SO Tar as moisture Is con-
cerned, the wet blanket Is quite as Objectionable
That the horse Is healthier by Clipping. I
deny. have seen several utterly ruined In one
season by clipping. and have no doubt that q
practice so utterly at variance with physiolopf-
cal laws must shorten the use and life OF a horse
by several years.
