HINTS FROM AN EMPRESS.

Two About Style.

The Great Catherine Knew II Thing or
Two About Style.
The great Catherine, Empress of
Russia, besides possessing genius
for government, was an authoress of
considerable merit. 1t has been dis
covered recently that she was some
thing of Il journalist, as well, probably,
rs one of the first of her sex to enter
the ranks of the profession. The paper
TO which she contributed was The
Comrade Of the Friends of the Russian
Language" and she had charge of the
Truth and Fancy" department When
she withdrew from the paper, owing,
She said TO disagreements with the
publishers, she left some instructions
for her successor, which show that
common sense, as applied to style and
the use of words, reached the same
conclusions a century ago in Russia
that it reaches to-day in the United
States. Here is GATHERINGS advice:
l leave my domain, Truth and
Fancy" to any one who wishes it, on
condition that he who does accept it
will continue to write without exagger-
atcd phrases and without pretending
to be bent to earth under great weight
OF thought.
lie must always use short, clear sem
fences rather than long and involved
ones.
Use Russian words in preference to
those of foreign origin. Why should
we borrow from our neighbours? Is our
tongue not rich enough?
DO not be tedious, and above all do
not attempt to be clever at the wrong
place and time
One should never use crutchcs when
the legs will do their own work: that
is, avoid pompous and swollen words
when simple words have more dignity,
usefulness and beauty.
Where it is necessary TO draw the
moral from the story do so with spirit
and without tediousness.
Heavy deep thoughts should be made
as light as possible They should be
expressed clearly, SO that the ordinary
reader can grasp them.
IT is desira bic that the author disap-
pear as completely as possible, and that
the reader only think of his work. 1t
is not necessary that his motions be al
ways seen and his words always heard.
