Writing for the Newspapers.

am very frequently asked whether
the newspaper is the best starting point
for young authors, and in this question
lies, in nine cases out of ten, grave
misconception. Many young writers be-
ieve that work rejected by the monthly
magazine will find a market with the
daily newspaper. It seems to be taken
for granted that the same degree of care
is unnecessary for newspaper work as
for magazine writing. 1.-THE newspaper
dies with the day, the magazine lives for
a month";" is the general feeling, and
hence the impression that ephemeral
work will find a ready market with the
newspaper.
1t has been my pleasure to write for
the newspaper press of America for six
or seven years, and give young writer's
leaf from my experience when I say to
them, do not allow yourselves to believe
that minor work will find favor with the
modern American newspaper. There is
just as much demanded of a writer in
the newspaper editorial Office as in that
of the monthly magazine. A writer
commits the greatest mistake of her life
when she looks upon the newspaper as
graduating school to the magazine. The

AS rule, it is best for the advertiser
to confne each announcement to few

members one or two facts, briefly and
thoroughly impressed, with greater ease
than larger number running through a
somewhat extended announcement. In
the case Of a merchant, the first thing to
be done is to attract the buyers to his
store. When the buyers come there, if
the merchant cannot sell them it is his
fault, and not the fault of the newspaper

How to Spoil IL Cigar.

A cigar should never be exposed to the
light. Such goods as are in showcases
are sacrificed for the purpose of making
display. Within a few weeks the cigars
in an open box lose all the attributes of
tobacco. They become dry and taste
less and there is no demand for them in
this country. With the English this is
different. They want a cigar that is as
dry as finder and will have no other.

goods in damp chest like n refriger-

Monstrous Power of Sea Breakers.

From experiments made at Bell Rock
and Skerryvole lighthouses, on the coast
Of Scotland, it was found that while the
force Of the breakers on the side Of the
German ocean may be taken at about a
ton and half to every square foot of ex-
posed surface, the Atlantic side throws
breakers with double thatforce, or three
tons to the square foot; thus surface of
only two square yards sustains blow
from heavy Atlantic breaker equal to
fifty four tons. In March, 1890, heavy
gale blew for three days and nights at
Skerryvole, washing out blocks of lime
stone and granite. of three and five tons
weight as easily as if they had been
empty egg shells, in some cases throwing
them entirely over the breakwater at
Plymouth.
Over 800 tons Of such blocks were
washed 800 feet up the inclined beach af
ter being thrown over the breakwater
and scattered about in various direc-
lions. One block of limestone, estimated
to be of Is tons weight, was moved over
$50 feet from place in the surf where
it had been firmly grounded since 1897,
it having been rolled in sight by the aw-
full gale of the Windy Christmas" of
that year. This is quite a high sea record
for 1890, showing that the gale Of March
was the worst known on the Scottish
coast for 1913 years.-St. Louis Republic.

A Snake Story Brought Him Fortune.

Aresidentof Martinsville, Ind, named
Jerry Givens. has received letter from
a rich uncle in California which indicates
that the young man is likely to be adopt

history is recalled by this incident
There was an estrangement between the
man now in California and the father Of
young Jerry, who is long since dead.
Henry, the elder brother, drifted to the
far west, and discovered the whereabouts
of his young heir only through publ
cation which narrated a remarkable adj
venture in which the latter was engaged.
Some time ago while hunting in the
White river bottoms he encountered a
great nest of snakes. This circumstance
gained wide reputation in the papers
and finally caught the eye of the elder
