Hints to Young Writers.

The Sacramento Bee has the fol
 lowing suggestions:
 Carefully avoid a ''plain round hand" style of penmanship. Moth ing will So efectually conceal bad blunders as lllesible manuscript.
 Do not expect more than S25 col. umn for first efforts, particularly as the chances are that the only extra copies that your article will sell will be the ones you buy yourself.
 If au idea is too common to attract attention in prose, try putting it in poetry. There is not particle of sense in Mother Goose's melodies, yet millions of copies are sold every year.
 If your contribution is refused stop taking the paper, and never lose a chance of abusing it. This will make the editor go out and hang himself. unless his grocer refuses te lend him a clothes line.
 Before sending an article to a monthly magazine kiss it an afec- tionate goodbye. Tue chances are that it will be five or six months before you see it again. It is differ erent with daily paper. If you don't see 1t in print or in manuscript Very soon you will have the satisfac- tion of knowing that you never will.
 Above all things remember that the only way tc get thing printed is to see the editor personally. Editors don't go by the matter in a manu- script. They go by the looks of the writer. Besides that the time hangs very heavy on tue hands of people around newspaper offices, and 1t Is difficult to see what would become of them if would-be contributors dld not call once in while to talk about their articles or play checkers. Be careful, however, in ascending to the editorial rooms to skip the double action spring step which is always somewhere along tue stairs, and turns over, landing victims in the cellar. This is not meant for COL but for peddlers ,and noth- 1 ing so worries ali editor as to find some contributors bones among those of the peddlers when 1t comes to the annual cellar cleaning.

Lying in India.

The way of the liar is hard among our distinguished cousins of India. When a Hindoo or Burmese swears, he duplicates not only himself but all his kindred up to the seventh degree, all bis personal acquaintances and all his posterity. If through lapse of memory he happens to perjnre himself, all those are con demned to ten kinds of punishment and five kinds of enemies. Should the perjury be of rather more de- liberate sort the earth will open and swallow them all up. If a witness knowingly makes a false oath his friends and acquaintances will be lowered into eighty great hells and one hundred and twenty small ones At this rate an able-bodied American romancer like Tom Ochiltree could depopulate India in three quarters of an hour.

A Business Melody.

There was man in our town, and he was wondrous wise, for when he marked his prices down he then did advertise.
 And when he saw hls trade 1n- crease, with all his might and main, he marked still lower every price and advertised again.
 And when he advertised again, his rivals stamped and tore, to see folks rush with might and main to patron ize his store.
 And while he sat in solitude, and saw his custom win, that man behind the counter stood and raked the shekels in.
 And when he raked the shekels in, and saw his fortune rising, he took a godly lot of tn and kept on adver Using,
 Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and demonstrate full plain the more one pays for printers ink the greater is his gain.

Joseph McGuire of 34 Haight street, an intoxicated son of old Ire land, who wore big red necktie, was arraigned yesterday Tn the Tombs Police Court.

 "Faith, is it me tie ye mean?"
 "Yes. It looks like Union Jack. Ten dollars fiue"
 But it is not Unlon Jack, your Honor, at all."
 "Welll, it is red; you are not patri- otic."
 Indeed I am, and I will prove t."

 Il say, Mir. Greeley, I thought l would call and talk with you, sah. about advising the cullid people to study de sciences" Mir Greeley's face assumed g near CT proximity than ever to the paper he was writing on and his hand kept going across it from left to right with greater rapidity than before. The cheeky freeman was not to be put out of time in this way: he there fore spoke again, but this time in a louder tone than before:
 "I thought I would ask you," he continued ''to write an editorial ad vising the cullid people to study the sciences"
 Still the great editor wrote on. On the third repetition of the remark, Mir Greeley laid down his pen and looking up quickly he hastily ex- claimed:
 ''Go away Go to he'll Go over into New Jersey and go to raising potatoes !"

Some of them aspire to be tuneful and to pierce their victims ears with operatic airs; but most of them just make a monotonous noise of it,which you might get used to if they did not once ID a while excite your expecta- tions of change by buzzing around

EMOTIONAL INsANITY.-In his charge to the jury in the celebrated Mutt case the Judge said: "In order to ac- quit the prisoner the jury must find from the evidence that he was sub ject to a power greater than hIs will. For my part, I have little faith in that insanity which shows itself a moment and then flies away, leaving no trace behind it. You have no right to infer insanity from the act, but may consider in connection with the killing any peculiarity of action on the part of the prisoner. You have the evidence of expert witness es, which must be valued as the jury may see fit, for they are usually se- lected with view to their ability to give favorable testimony, and very often for hire. The actual line be- tween sanity and insanity is not easi ly drawn. If by a fair weight of testimony he has been shown to have been sane. he should be convicted in some degree of crime"

A Legend of TOnqui,.

There was once king of that country so we'll skilled in magic as to make bow of pure gold, whose ar rows never failed of dealing death and which, therefore, was s:4re guarantee of perpetual victory. The king being attacked by another cas- lily defeated the aggressor. The daughter Cf the conqueror married the son of :he conquered king and the husband prevailed on his wife to obtain possession of the bow and substitute another just like 1t ln it's place. This she did in ignorance of its virtues, but the result was that her father was conquered in his turn and compelled to fly. A demon in forming him of the source of his misfortune, he seized bis daughter and, drawing his cimeter, prepared to kill her, but before he did so she had time to predict that in order to afford to future ages an enduring proof of her innocence the blood that he shed should be turned into pearls. And so it was for the spot where she was slain is still the place where men discover the loveliest and fairest pearls .-Cornhill Magazine.

ARSENIC. c.-Arsenic is widely dts seminated throughout the ores of the Rocky mountains, occurring princi- pally in combination with iron form ing the mineral mispI ckel. In Gun nison county, Colorado, it occurs in combination with cobalt and iron, probably as the mineral lollingite. On acifc coast the mispickel is frequently auriferous, and Is treated by tue chlorination and teaching process for the extraction of it's gold contents. Mispickel is also found, in more or less quantity, Tn almost every portion of the United States; and is often mistaken by farmers for silver ore. Large quantities of ar senic pass off in the fumes from roasting and smeltlng furnaces and are lost, no attempt being made to save the volatile elements in the ores. Arsenious acid occurs quite frequent ly in fragile crystals in the dust chambers of smelters, forming beau tiful specimens for cab1nets.

 prominent the fact that we have come upon the time when the mech

A skilled wol lkman in any trade need never want for hire; he is eagerly sought after ny hundred employ CT :he is independent of the col d n of the market, the skill and cunning of his hand and eye are too valuable to lose, and must be paid whether the products are slowly or rapidly consumed.
