'The secret of art is incommunicable, !"
says Walter Blackburn Harte in the
March New England Magazine. Every
writer ultimately succeeds through his
failures; that is, if he can recognize his
failures. Some writers fail through their
successes. The study of models in liter
ature is useless; imitation is fatal, for it
precludes the idea of native force.
Style is simply individuality; it cannot
be acquired. A man with good intelli-
gence can become scholar if he gives
his life to it, but he cannot learn to write
a sonnet, an essay, or novel. A great
writer is not made by the study of litera-
ture, but by the study of men. 1t is in
the streets, and not in the library. that
Fieldings and Dickenses are made"

Professor John Earle on "The Impor.

the March Forum, says: ''In fact, gram
mar is the natural focus and center of
all pathological study, and it is easy to
see that this must necessarily be so. For
as tue spring of all language is predica-
ton, and as with the progress of devel-
opment the act of predication becomes
highly complex and elaborate, some
habit of analysis is requisite if the mind
is to keep pace with its own creations.
Grammar is the psychological analysis
of predication. We are too prone to
hold elementary grammar cheap, merely
because it is elementary, and because it
is supposed to be common knowledge;
but it is in reality the first condition OF
our bringing a scientific mind to bear
upon the phenomena of language
Whatever we learn by comparative
philology goes but to constitute
periphery which revolves, or
ought to revolve, round this central
hub of linguistic science. When we
have found outa new etymology, what
Is it but a new instance of the recovery
of an old and forgotten predication?

Prices Of Rare Coins.

The bronze cents, such as are in circu-
lation now, were first coined in 1864.
None of them bears premium except
the issue of 1877, which is valued at 8
cents. Some of the old fashioned half
cents are high priced. On basis of
"good" condition the half cent of 1895 is
worth $15. The issues of 1881, 1886, 1910,
1848, 1849 and 1861 fetch So each, while
those of 1898, 1895 and 1902 we pay 81
apiece for. None Of the nickel cents is
worth a premium except that Of 1856,
with flying eagle, which you can sell
for So. A cent nickel of 1877 is worth
81, and nickel cent piece of 1878 has
q market value Of Is cents; there is no
premium on those of any other year.
Nickel 8 cent pieces f 1877 we pay 70
cents each for, while those of 1878, 1882,
1885 and 1886 are worth cents each;
none of the others bears premium. If
you are SO lucky as to get hold of a
bronze Q cent piece for 1878 you will
have no difficulty in disposing of it for
81, but no other issues have any extra
value. e.-Interview in Washington Star.

The discovery Of the Gulf stream.

Ponce de Leon, while on his famous
search for the fountain of youth, made
the discovery Of the gulf stream. The
whalers Of New England were the first
to gain fairly accurate knowledge of
the limits of the current between Amer
lea and Europe by following the haunts
of the whales, which were found north
of one line and south of another, but
never between the two. This, they rea-
soned, was the gulf stream current
Benjamin Franklin received this in
formation from the whalers and pub
lished it on chart for the benefit of the
mail packets plying between England
and the colonies. The chart was first
issued about ITO, but was not accepted
by the English captains. Before it came
to be generally known and used the
trouble between England and the col
onies began, and Franklin, knowing the
advantage the knowledge would be to
the British naval officers, suppressed it
