Advice for Young Writers Learn
how to write. Don't follow any set
style. Follow your own style. Use
simple. words and short sentences.
Hit straight from the shoulder! Learn
to write briefly and concisely. You
can be picturesque in short sentences
as we'll as in long ones. Write on to-
pies OF the day. Look into the human
heart deeply and write for mel and
ONE of the day. Taboo quototions
as a rule. Never use French. German
Or Italian words or phrases. Use An
slo-Saxon always. For the first year
destroy all you write. Tear up your
manuscripts, or put them aside for a
month or two, and then revise them
carefully. Knock out the ~adjectives.
Don't use superfluous words. Be sure
OF Your facts, and when you have told
all your facts stop writing. The edi-
torial, or review,-o essay is finished
as soon as you have exhausted your
facts.-Fostcr Coates IN Sunshine.

Nc So Easily Cheated.

4 dealer advertised eyeglasses, by
the aid of which a person could easily
read the finest print. A well-dressed
Ia called at the counter one day. to
be fitted to a pair of spectacles. As
he remarked that he had never worn
any, some were handed to him that
magnifed very little. He looked
hard through them upon the book set
before him, but he declared he could
make out nothing. Another pair. of
stronger power, were saddled upon his
nose, but unsuccessfully, as before.
Further trials We're made, until at
length the almost discouraged dealer
passed to him a pair which magnified
mere than all the rest in his stock.
The customer, quite as impatient as
the merchant at having to try so ma
ny, put on the last pair, and glowered
through them at the printed page with
all his might.
"Can you read that printing now p
inquired the dealer, pretty certain that
he had hit it right this time, at any
rate.
"Sure. not a bit" was the reply.
"Can you read at all ?" asked the
merchant, unable to conceal his yexa-
ton any longer.
Grade at all, is it :" cried the Gus
toner ''there's not a single word
among them that l can identify the
features NV"
