Writing for the Papers.

A large number, and probably a
majority of the contributions sent to
newspapers by casual writer's are ex-
cluded because they are too long. AS
rule, those unaccustomed to writ
ing for publication never write until
they become specially interested in
some particular abuse orpublic ques-
ton, and then they commit the nat
ural error of assuming that the world
is In entire sympathy with them on
their hobby. The result is that they
write column after column which
would never be read if published, and
their labors achieve only a place in
the waste-basket.
Let every casual newspaper writer
start on the assumption that the
briefest and most incisive articles are
always most acceptable because most
popular, and there is only one way to
make practical application of the
theory. First, write what you have
to say on the chosen subject. Second,
study it over carefully and then write
it over again. Third, study it over
again with equal or increased care,
and then re-write it again. By that
time the original article will be from
one-fourtb to one third the length of
the original, and the author can t fail
to see that it is more attractive, more
logical, and in every way more useful
and creditable. Editors have no time
Tor such rewriting in their daily work,
but there are no successful editors
who have not thoroughly learned to
write first hand as most men would
write after repeated revisions. Many
orators in pulpit and and forum wres-
lie under their midnight lamps to re-
write their sermons and orations, and
thus make them pointed, finished and
and the sooner that cas-
lal writer's understand that forcible
and attractive expression is the fruit
Of the severest labor, the sooner will
hey have ready access to the col
INNS of popular newspapers Phila-
3elphia Times.

Puzzle.

Why grown men and women with ma
tured reflective powers should neglect
their small ailments is really a puzzle.
Hosts of otherwise sensible people thus
bewildersd conjecture. 1t is one Of the
things which. as the late lamented Lord
Dundreary exclaimed. mo fellah can find
out. Diseases grow faster than weeds,
and, moreover, beget one another. In
cipient indigestion, a touch of bilhousness,
slight irregularity l n the habit of body
what complex and serious bodily distur-
bance. not local, but general, do these not
beget, if disregarded? Battle and drive
off the foe at the first onset, with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, sovereign among
preyentatives. A constitution invigorated,
a circulation enriched, a brain and stom-
ach .tranIuilized by thus national medi-
cine, becomes well nigh invaluable. The
Bltters couDteract malaria, rhematism
and kidney complaint.

The Gleprock Graphic in speaking of
the governors recent iunket says: We
have heard some Joking comments on the
Grdphic's brief mention OF Governor
Warren's visit to the city last week. The
notice was fully as extended as his excel
lency's visit to the most %populous town in
Converse countv-Glenrock But he, no
doubt, realizes the impregnableness OF the
Democratic majority in this precinct and
thought an extended visit would avail him
nothing. However, a politician should
show no partiality, and those who by their
actions indicate that they think there is
but one town tn Converse county are liable
to be reminded on election day by even
their own party that there is at least a
second own in the county; one that polls
a larger vote than the county seat"

JSO. n. CARROLL. Editor.

IT Is reported that there is a general
friendly feeling In congress toward the
people of Wyoming and Idaho and that
it would not be surprising if both those
territories were to be erected into states,
the Denver Republican feels called upon
to remark. Senator Plat Of Connecticut
has already introduced bills authorizing
their admission. We sincerely hope that
these bills will become laws. Both the
people of Idaho and those OF Wyoming
are able to maintain state governments
and. this being the case, they are entitled
to throw aside the territorial governments
and erect states in their stead.

White Hair Turned Black.

The patient was a woman aged 70,
who had had snow white hair for
twenty years. For the symptoms of
commencing urnmia, due TO contract
ed kidney, twenty to thirty minims of
extract of jaborandi was prescribed
several times daily. The drug was
taken from October, 1886, to February,
1888. During the autumn of 1887 the
eyebrows We're becoming darker, and
the hair of the head also became
darker in patches. This continued
until the patches of hair were quite
dark, contrasting with the patches of
snow white hair. The hair did not
universally change before her death.
In 1881 DR.. Prentiss had published
another case of kidney disease, pyelo
nephritis, treated with pilocarpine.
The hair of the patient, a lady aged
IS, changed from light blonde to black
under the influence of the drug. The
pilocarpine was administered hypoder-
mically (one-sixth of a grain twenty
two times in the course of two months;
the dose was then increased. In one
month after commencing the treat
ment the hair changed from a light
blonde TO a chestnut brown; four
months later it was almost a pure
black" 1t is satisfactory to find that
eight years afterward, the hair is again
a dark brown. DR.. Prentiss ascribes
the phenomenon to the iaborandi and
its active principle, ~pilocarpine.
Cases where, as the result of the in
duence of the v system, in pain
or fright, the hair has changed color,
are pathological curiosities. So little
is known, however, of the physiology
cal influence of the v system
over the growth and nutrition Of the
hair that it is at present quite impos-
sible to understand how a drug admin
istered internally can affect the color
Of the hair. 1t would be interesting
to learn from other practitioners who
have used jaborandi or pilocarpine for
an extended period, whether any
change in the color of the hair has
been noticed. -Therapeutic Gazette.

English agricultural journals draw
attention to the great increase in fruit
growing in that country of late years.
In 1889 there were some 80, 200 acres
of fruit trees all told in England.
Now, however, the area has increased
to PA, 900 acres. But even with so
great an increase in the supply the de
mand is far from being satisfied, and
as a consequence last year nearly four
million bushels of apples alone were
imported, at a cost of fS00, 900, most
of them coming from America. Eng

devote still more attention to the cul-
