WRITING FOR NEWSPAPERS.

lam 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 misconceptions, writes Ed
ward w. Box, in the Ladies Home
Journal. Many young writer's be
lievc that work rejected by the
monthly magazine will find a market
with the daily newspaper. 1t 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 q
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 L give
young writers a leaf from my expert
cnCc when | say to them-DO not al
low 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
of the monthly magazine. A writer
commits the greatest mistake of her
life, when she looks upon the news
paper as a graduatingschoOl to the
magazine. The same standard of
grammar and expression set by the
magazine holds good with newspa-
perS.
Where the newspaper offers to the
young writer an advantage over the
magazine, is in its wider field, and its
larger capacity. Publishing thirty
times against the single issue of a
magazine, the newspaper naturally
absorbs more material, and writ
er's chances are correspondingly bet
ter. Then, too, subjects which are
out of the range of the magazine, fall
directly within the scope of the news
paper. This is specially true of time
ly articles. The magazines of today
with their large circulations, and the
necessary slower process of printing,
are prepared so far in advance as to
make it impossible for them to get
close enough to timely happenings
to make their discussion of them
fresh and interesting. With the
newspaper this is, of course, different,
and it is precisely in its ability to
treat of what is latest and freshest
wherein lies its strength, and in these
respects the field is necessarily broad
ened to the writer.
But, bear III mind, this advantage
is only one of greater capacity, not
of less requirement. disappointment
| can be no more certain than when a
manuscript is sent to a newspaper
| editor with the belief that he is less
critical, or that his constituency is
less exacting than is the case of the
monthly magazine.

STEAMERS ON THE CONGO.


1t is only nine years since the first
steamer made its appearance on the
upper Congo, and yet today, al
though they had to be carried for
235 miles on the backs of men,
twenty-three steam vessels travel
many hundreds of miles up and down
the upper Congo and its tributaries.

same service Eleven of these steam

THE WOOD PULP INDUSTRY.

The wood pulp industry of this
country is grow wing with rapid strides.
There is not so great an increase to
note in ground wood pulp as in the
chemical pulp and i'll the sulphite
process Still, the aggregate growth
is very large, and has by no means
reached its height. From every di-
rectiOn where there are spruce for
estS we hear of increase i'll the pro-
duction and capacity. The larger
manufacturers of wood pulp are
looking about carefully, and securing
supplies of raw material in the shape
of spruce forests The fact is, the
manufacture of wood pulp is max
ing rapid inroads into the supplies of
spruce now growing in New England
and New York state. This industry
Is also an extensive one in Sweden.
There are now over 100 establish
ments there, which with present ex-
tensions will give an output OF 15O,-
600 tons of pulp per year. The
prices of wood pulp have declined
very much in the past fifteen years,
but the cost of production has also
declined with equal rapidity. The
improvements in the manufacture
have kept pace with the fall in prices.
Some of the chemically prepared
Swedish pulp is still imported to this
country, but the ground wood pulp
cannot compete with the home pro-
duct American Cultivator.

GIVING PLEASURE.

In Prof Henry Drummond's SER
mon on The Greatest Thing in the
World" which by its simplicity and
practical earnestncSs has secured
reading rivaling that of the most
successful fiction, a careful dlstlnc-
ton is drawn between trying to
please" and giving pleasure. Give
pleasure. says Prof. Drummond,
Lose no chance of giving pleasure "
And he asks, Have you ever noticed
how much Of Christ's life was spent
in doing kind things, in merely doing
kind things? Run over it with that
in view and you will find that He
spent a great proportion OF His time
simply in making people happy IN
doing good turns to people"
This is a simple and homely truth.
There is nothing original or striking
in it's presentation, yet this would be
a very different kind of a world if
even those people in it who are try
ing, in the main, to lead good lives,
were to take as their motto this in
junction, Lose no chance of giving
pleasure" The fact is that every
day is full of such chances, but we
brush them by unheeding, and are
too absorbed in our cares or business
to notice or to use them. Here IS
something which requires no learn
ing, for kindness is not of the head
but of the heart. 1t requires no cap
1tal, for in scores of instances we can
give pleasure without being Il penny
the poorer for it. A kind word does
it Generous appreciation OF an
others service does it. A word or
even a glance of sympathy does it
Especially in the relations of older
people with children there are count
less opportunities of giving pleasure
with the least possible expenditure
of time or money. 1t is pathetic
sometimes to see how little it takes
to make children happy, and more
pathetic to reflect in how many cases
they have to 90 without that little.
If one were to narrow the general
principle, and were simply to resolve
that he would consciously miss no
chance to make a child happy, he
would add a large increment to the
general store of happiness. If we
have been a little blind hitherto III
recognizing these opportunities, and
little slow in improving them, there
is the more reason why we should
resolve not to let any of them slip in

Life Insurance ON
Business Principles

The management of the National Life In
surance Company of Vermont has attained
an enviable distinction for its ingenuity in
originating plans of insurance This COM
pany's policies have always appealed to a
particularly well-informed class of applicants.
In addition to the bonds which it disposes of
in large numbers, it issues option policy
which undoubtedly is one of the most desi-
rable of insurance contracts. 1t is claimed
for it that it provides for any emergency that
may arise.
This is what the company contracts to do,
through the medium of this policy: 1t guar
antees an annual cash value which after a
paid; it guarantees paid-up policy for such
a sum as the cash value will purchase, ex-
act amount being specified in the contract at
the time of issue, and it guarantees extended
insurance for the full amount of policy for so
long time the cash value will pay for.
incidentally the policy will protect its holder
against adversely in business, and also make
an absolute provision in case of death for
days oflow interest and unsafe investment.
it is a safe and desirable Investment guaran-
teeing that certain amount of money will
be accumulated in specified time which the
purchaser can use at any age when he is more
likely to be dependent upon others than
others upon him. Finally. the officers of the
know exactly what you have and if you
get it. Under this policy you have in

resolution WAS strictly in harmony
with democracy and should be adopt.
