Writing for the Newspapers.

am very frequently asked whether
the newspaper is the best starting point
for young authors. and in this question
lies, i'll nine cases out of ten, a grave
misconception. Many Young writers be-
lieve that work rejected by the monthly
magazine will find a market with the
daily newspaper. Ii seems to be taken
for granted that the same degree of care
is unnecessary for newspaper work as
for magazine writing. The newspaper
dies with the day, the magazine lives for
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 writers
leaf from my exper ance when | 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 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 a
graduating school to the magazine. The
same standard of grammar and express
sion set by the magazine holds good with
newspapers. Edward w. Box in Ladies'
Home Journal

Every one must have noticed the num-
Der of ladies who wear short, curly hair
at present. 1t may astonish you to learn
that most Of these charming curls are
false, Typhoid and other fevers have
played havoc with hair After such an
illness the hair is almost invariably Be-
riously injured, and even if it does not
fall out it becomes so dry and harsh that
there is nothing to be done but TO shave
1t close and wait for new growth On.
less the hair grows very rapidly 1t will
be two or three months before it is long
enough to look well, and in the mean
time a wig is necessity. The short
curly hair looks more natural than a
dressed wig, and is easier to keep in
order. so most ladies prefer them. E..
derby ladies, however. often use French
twists and pompsdours. Few people
know how common wigs are. have some
times sold five or six in one day, and q
great many ladies say they are sorry
when their own hair grows out, as the
wig has saved them so much time and
trouble. Interview with Wigmaker.

1t was Partisan who hit upon the
novel idea Of detective camera He
made small camera. which he con-
cealed in his hat. A shutter in front
was SO cleverly arranged that the joint
could not be seen. At first he used wet
plates. but he soon saw the disadvantage
he was laboring under. About that time
the lightning dry plates were put on the
market and the Frenchman's hopes rose
high. He could take his hat anywhere
with him, and no one, at a glance, would
suspect its double purpose. Placed on a
table facing the person to be taken, the
little button at the back could be pressed
and the exposure made. In some re-
spects the hat camera was immeasurably
superior to the toys now on the market.

Shooting candle through a two.inch
