About Smelling.

That spelling is not the necessary
attribute of cleverness, or inability to
spell the necessi ry mark of fool, is
plain enough. No one who thinks for
a minute or two on the matter will fail
to remember that he knows one or tW 0
men who cannot write the simplest
note without misspellings, and that
these are by no means the most stupid
of his acquaintances, but often the
cleverest. The Duke of wellington,
it is notorious, could not spell, and
there have been plenty of other men of
his mental caliber quite as illiterate.
Some one has lately collected list of
distinguished Frenchmen who could
not spell, and heads it with Thiers-
who, though not genius, was certainly
one of the cleverest men that ever
lived. Thiers never could manage to
spell his native language, though as a
writer he was correct enough.

THE WRITER AND THE EDITOR
GEORGE w. CABLE.

GEORGE w. CABLE.
1 fear that every man guilty of CIV
ing advice to young writer's stands a
first-class chance of never entering
Heaven F.; even though, as in the pre-
sent case, one commits the crime by
special invitation, do not see why the
punishment should be less severe.
However, will try not worry about
my future state on this account; and
so let me say boldly to those readers of
Demorest's Magazine who have literary
aspirations, follow your impulses, fol-
low them step by step, with this one
warning; Don't try to fly before you
have learned to walk. In most initial
literary effort there is an inordinate
disposition on the part of the beginner
to do something large and important
first. This should not be. The person
who has done little and done well is
justified in trying to. do more but it
is not wise for one to assume that the
way to attract attention at first in Ii
terature is do something big, some
thing that older heads have been trying
to do for years, and are still trying.
But am requested to say word
about the relations of the writer and
the editor. There is singular delu.
sion among young literary workers that
magazine editors will be attracted by a
considerable bulk of matter; whereas
bulk, in a maiden effort, is the first
strong argument against probable ex'
cellence of the effort. The strangest
part is that these beginners are devoted
| magazine readers and yet they are
blind to the fact that contribution oil
few hundred words containing few
ideas is far more acceptable than thou.
sands of words containing no ideas.
AS for the supposition that influence
with an editor or publisher will get
| your manuscript accepted, why that
is sheer nonsense. In literary courts
| friends are of no use. An editor might
possibly be influenced to accept one
manuscript, but this would not make
permanent favor. Then the public
taste is capricious, ,and editors are bound
| to follow tile public. A class of mat
ter which you can sell to-day, at youl
own price, may be worth nothing at al
six months hence.
A personal interview with az editor
is someties valuable to young writer
in few minutes conversation an editor
may open an aspiraDt's eyes to his owl
strength, or to his own weakness. Blu
beware Of calling upon an editor often
unless you approach him with a heat
full of ideas and suggestions. Editors
are usually busy men and the on
thing, above all, for which they ar
ever keeping the sharpest lookout i
fresh and original material, l,-"Adoic

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
The Value of the Early Spring Garden
for the Family.

The Value of the Early Spring Garden
for the Family.
During the severity of cold winter
weather a vigorous diet is both re-
quired and relished. At such time
meat and fatty food are essential to the
system. But with the change from
winter to spring, from the cold, brac-
ing weather to the enervating atmos-
phere of spring, our physical being
undergoes a change, and winter
food is no longer relshed or needed.
In fact, the continuance of such diet
against the demands of the the system
for fresh vegetable food is often provo
cative of disease, Fat pork, baked
beans and hearty roasts enjoyed in JAN
uary, are refused by the stomach in
May. The appetite calls for something
fresh and succulent.
Thousands of families suffer from
the need of such food in spring who
might have it in abundance as well as
not. Although the markets contain
fresh southern vegetables, all cannot
afford them at the fancy prizes; and
besides, after being shipped hundreds
of miles and lying in the market, they
lose much of their fresh flavor. Amy
family having a space II feet square to
spare on lot can have sufficient aspara-
gus, pie plant, fresh onions, 1.-THE kind
that winter in the ground) mustard
salad and greens, horse-radish greens,
and also the fresh root of this plant.
These are all perennial and will burst
forth as soon as the ground thaws
out. A very small space will grow
sufficient radishes and lettuce for a
FIRMLY, which added to the above will
give an early and gratifying supply of
spring vegetables. Such little plot
can be made extremely rich, which will
forward the growth of the plants.
What Is very surprising, many
farmers do not have these vegetables.
They say they have no time to bother
with such little truck" And SO
during the spring their families are re-
strieted to diet Of potatoes and pork,
and pork and potatoes. The value of
these early perennial vegetables for
spring use before the summer garden
comes on, can hardly be estimated, not
so much in tie matter of dollars as in
promoting the health of the family.
And now that spring, the season Of
planting and iransplanting is at hand,
every householder, whether lie owns a
small town LOT Or a farm, should see
that it is supplied with early spring veg
etables NELLIE BURNS.

LIFE'S PROBLEM .

II seasons were all spring times,
New blossoms on the old,
Green blade uplifting green blade,
Gold sunbeams ON the gold
OF ripened grain and orchard,
Natures unchanging smile
1t seasons were all springtimes,
Then living were worth while.
If roaGs all trended down hill,
Beauty's unconscious curve,
Just slanting as we tread them,
And yet no direct sweIve
To make us feel we lower
Ourselves each easy milo
If roads all trended down hill,
Then living were worth while.
But morn means absent darkness;
Down hill must have it's up,
And seasons, it all springtimes,
Would drain old Earth's wine cup,
JOY is the twin of sorrow,
Tears lie behind each smile;
Life is a complete problem,
Whose solving is worth while.
