WRITING POETRY.

Advice to Girls Who Think They Are
Born Poets.
If it be true that poets are born and
not made, this is certainly a wonderful
generation of poets if one may Judge Of
the number of manuscripts in verse
which flow into the editorial offices. In
a bundle of one hundred poems taken
haphazard, two-thirds were found to be
from self-declared young women. That
the girl of poetical desires is on the de-
cided increase there is but little doubt.
qhe first thing which girl, who be-
lieyes, she has the divine fiatus within
her apparently, does nowadays is to
write poem, and in that very act she
makes her first mistake. Four lines
that jingle do,not make verse; yet this
is what hundreds of our girls think to-
day. The art of writing poetry-so diff
tic,at that onlya few in generation
completely master it's attempted by
some girls with am audacity that is sur

FASHIONABLE TEMPERANCE.
Drink at Dinners Is Becoming UnpOp-
ular.

Drink at Dinners Is Becoming UnpOp-
ular.
That the fashion in wines and wine
drinking at table is surely changing, 1
think no one at all addicted to dining,
either in the capacity of guest or host,
at large dinners will deny. The causes
for this change are numerous, perhaps
the most potent of them being the dread
OF invalidism which attacks men even
more generally, and with more remedial
effect. than women. Perfect physical
condition is an ideal much striven for,
and one and perhaps the principal way
of attainment thereto is by temperance
in the use and selection of wines. Men
appreciate that fact in this generation
as never before, and are helped toward
it in many ways-by fashion, by the
spirit of the age which frowns upon
self-indulgence, and by athletic train
ing A
Between the ages of sixteen and
twenty-one the average gentleman's
son is at college, and at work usually
in some department of college athletics.
His training there forbids an excessive
use of either wine or tobacco, and so
during these years a habit of alb
stemiousness is inculcated, and almost
never ottgrown. Older men learn the
advisa bihty of such habits, perhaps
after over-indulgence, and in sight of
threatened disease, both of which act
as decided curbs to careless intemper-
ance.
A change in the fashion Of serving
wines has come about, and a greater
temperance in their use has arisen with
it, although the custom itself is as firm
ly intrenched as ever. A mixture OF
claret and water, and champagne are
the two beverages most usually served
to guests now. How many of us can
remember Of how recent a date is this
change, and appreciate it accordingly.
Light wines are the order of the day,
the heavy ports and Madeiras Of our
grandfathers being relegated into OBJ
security.
The amount of wine consumed at
dinners, too, is much decreased. Most
men, knowing their capabilities. seldom
exceed them, and but rarely drink to
reach them.
AS to women, they are always light
drinkers Men study the effect of wine
drinking on their digestion next morn
ing, and are as consequence the bet
ter in health, mind and happiness. Bet
ter, too, than those of their ancestors
who, to prove their manhood, would
drink until nature advanced it's own re
fusal.
Happily all this has changed, ant
mothers can, in this age, watch the
growth and development of their som
with serene consciousness that the com
mon temptation to excess in drink il
nulli6ed in great measure by the
fashion Of temperance and the hygieni'
tendencies of modern society.
