Advice to Young Authors.

Get originality into your work, my
friend. If your forte is writing articles
choose a new, bright, popular topic and
treat it freshly. Don't affect the dull
and stupid essay style. Use few words.
Make your sentences brief. Be crisp and
make your thoughts crackle. Tell the
public something it doesn't know and is
trying to find out If you lean to fiction
tear away from old plots and take an in
cident that "A reader will recognize at
once as being fresh. Make your dialogue
natural and bright; let your characters
move around and have being. Stop
when your story is told; a lively story of
1900 words, full of life and snap, has in
it more prospects of success than drawn
out tale of 5000 words. If you feel poe
try to be your forte appeal to the heart
rather than the mind. Don't fail at blank

Chinese Children.

The Chinese give their boy babies a
name in addition to their surnames
and they must call themselves by these
names until they are twenty years old.
At that age the father gives his son a
new name.
The Chinese care so little for their girl
babies that they do not give them Il
baby name. but just call them No. l,
No. 2, No. 8, according to their birth
Boys are thought so much more of in
China than girls are, that if you ask a
Chinese father who has both "A boy and
girl how many children he has, he will
always reply, "Only one child. Gin

1t Is safe to take BRANDRETH's Pills at
any time, but to get the best results they
should be taken on an empty stomach be-
fore going to bed. For constipation or dys-
pspsia one or two taken every night will in
a short time perform an absolute cure. 1t
is we'll to take purgative at least once or
twice month as a preventive of disease.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are entirely vegetable,

ever introduced to the public. They have

Vina del Mar, near Valparaiso, little
lad of eight or nine years of age, hat
less and barefooted, arrived in the town
of vina del Mar and gave tolerably
circumstantial account OF the fight. At
first his story was not believed, but
little by little his tale was credited and
listened to With astonishment that "a
child OF bis tender age should have
been present at such sanguinary en-
counter.
He quite artlessly stated that when
the San Fernando battalion left the
town with banners flying and band
playing he imagined the troops were
going out to exercise, and followed
them till he found himself on the field
OF battle. When the defeat and rout
ensued he Joined group of stragglers,
and at last found his way back to vina

place somebody gave him piece of

and the speaker of the house at the
Capitol He was quick witted. keen
eyed little fellow, and bis mind evolved
more questions in five minutes than
could be answered in week. Finally,
he was taken up to the White House
one Monday noon to shake hands with
the president.
All the time he was kept waiting in
line his eyes were dancing restlessly
about the room. Something evidently
was lacking, but he held his peace un-
til he was marched up to the president,
who gave him an unusually cordial
hand shake and reassuring smile. He
had not passed out of the presidents
hearing, however, before he piped out
in voice full of disappointment:

Yet no alert, sharp and clever person, no

regulate tho form and size of the shoe,

ful persons have large, fiat feet. Great
hearted, big men, whom women either
