Hints to Writers for the Press.

Write plainly in strong black ink on
white paper. Use typewriter when
possible, especially for articles of any
length. In either case let your lines be
twice as far apart as usual, for ease of
editor and compositor. If pencil is used,
let it be rather soft and black, and
the paper soft and unglazed. Technical
terms or uncommon words should be
made distinctly. Write on but one side
of the paper. Put your full name and
address at top of first page of manu-
script Mail MS fiat or folded If only
a few pages-never rolled. Observe
brevity. Say what you have to say,
then quit. A long introduction and an
equally long conclusion are uncalled
for. Between these, the nut or meat of
the article is usually found. Strike out
the beginning and the end in such cases,
and we have the gist of the whole piece
in attractive form that people will read
with interest and profit by. Lack of
experience in writing for the press is
no real hindrance. In agricultural and
domestic affairs we often get the most
valuable hints and useful information
from those who for the first time lot
down their practical experience in sim
pie words and short sentences that best
express such things.

worship. The skies are italian. The
paths 1 tread are through meadows,
daisied and primrosed. Come with me-"
The young man hesitated at a time
when hesitation was ruin, and the bad
angel smote the good angel
until it departed, spreading
wings through the starlight
upward and away until a door flashed
open in the sky and forever the wings
vanished. That was the turning point
in that young mans history; for. the
good angel flown, he hesitated no
longer, but started on pathway which
is beautiful at the opening, but blasted
at the last. The bad angel, leading the
way opened gate after gate, and at
each gate the road became rougher and
the sky more lurid and what was pc
culiar, as the gate slammed shut it
came to with jar that indicated that
it would never open. Passed each por-
tai, there was a grinding of locks and
showing Of bolts; and the scenery on
either side of the road changed from
gardens to deserts; and the June air be-
came cutting December blast, and the
bright wings of the bad angel turned to
sackcloth, and the eyes of light became
tains, that at the start had tossed with
wine, poured forth boiling tears and
foaming blood, and on the right side of
the road there was a serpent, and the
man said to the bad angel, What is
that serpent?" and the answer was.
THAT is the serpent of singing re-
morse" On the left side of the road
there was lion, and the man asked the
hnl t. lot IT,. he
answer was, THAT is the lion of all-de-
vouring despair" A vulture flew
through the sky, and the man asked the
bad angel, What is that vulture?" and
the answer was, THAT is the vulture
waiting for the carcasses of the slain"
And then the man began to try to pull
off him the folds of something that had
wound him round and round, and he
said to the bad angel, What does all
this mean? / trusted in what you said
at the corner of Broadway and Hous-
ton street; I trusted it all, and why have
you thus deceived me?" Then the last
deception fell off the charmer, and 1t
said, Il was sent forth from the pit to
destroy your soul; watched my chance
for many long year; when you hest
tated that night on Broadway l gained
my triumph; now you are here. Ha! ha!
You are here. Come, now, let us fill
these two chalices of fire, and drink to-
gether to darkness and woe and death.
Hail! Hail!' Oh! young man, will the
good angel sent forth by Christ, or the
bad angel sent forth by sin, get the vic
tory over your soul? Their wings are
interlocked this moment above you, con-
tending for your destiny, as above the
Apprentices, eagle and condor fight mid
sky. This hour may decide your des-
tiny.

SEA PASTURES.
Some of the Curious Vegetable Orgsnisms
That Live I'm the Ocean.

At the Imperial institute, London, Mr..
George Murray OF the British museum.
recently gave a lecture on 1.-THE Pas
lures of the Sea-" which consisted OF a
brief account of the vegetable organ
isms which live In the ocean. Treating
first of these seaweeds which grow near
the land, he said they do not occur at
greater depth than fifty fathoms.
They may be classified according ia
their color into red, olive-brown and
green, and this classification CORE
spends fairly well with the natural one
founded on considerations of structure.
The red seaweeds grow below low water
mark, the green at high water mark,
and the olive-brown between the marks.
The colors appear to stand in direct re-
lation with the supply OF light, since
sea water stops those rays which are
especially concerned in the formation
of chlorophyll. The red pigment, per-
haps, acts as a shield 10 protect the
plant from the blue rays which pass
through sea water abundantly. But In
view of the teeming animal life Of the
sea, these trining amounts OF coast sea-
weeds cannot be considered sufficient
to maintain the necessary balance be-
tween animal and vegetable life This
Is effected by the floating microscopic
plants which are found in almost all
waters, sometimes in immense masses,
as in the Red sea, which takes it's name
from their color They occur in fresh
waters, too; the spray Of the fountains
in Kensington gardens In autumn has a
blue green tint which is due to the
presence of species Of this plant. The
floating weed In the Sargossa sea Is a
puZZling phenomenon. 1t has been
supposed to be seaweed washed off from
the Antilles, but unfortunately for that
theory no plant Of the same species has
| ever been found growing In those is
lands. In conclusion the lecturer urged
the necessity of further study of the
ocean and its economy.

JOHNSON WAS DRUNK.
Condition OF Lincoln's Vice. President
mt the Inauguration.


mt the Inauguration.
Noah Brooks tells the following story
in his personal "reminiscences of Lin
coin in the Century. All eyes were
turned to the main entrance, where pre-
cisely at the stroke of II, appeared
Andrew Johnson, vice-president
arm in arm with Hannibal Hamlin,
whose term of Office was now expiring.
They took seats together on the dais of
the presiding officer, and Hamlin made
brief and sensible speech. and Andrew
Johnson. whose face was extraordin-
arily red, was presented to take the oath.
1t is needless to say here that the un-
fortunate gentleman, who had been
very i'll, was not altogether sober at
this important moment of his life. In
order to strengthen himself for the
physical and mental ordeal through
which he was about to pass, he had taxi
EN- a stiff drink of whisky in the room
of the vice-president and the warmth
of the senate chamber, with possibly
other physical conditions, had sent the
fiery liquor to his brain. He was evil
IDENTIFY intoxicated. AS he went on with
his speech he turned upon the cabinet
officers and addressed them as Mr..
Stanton" Mr.. Seward" etc, without
the official handles to their names. For
getting Mr. Welles' name, he said land
you, too, Mr." Then leaning over
to Col. Forney, he said, What is the
name of the secretary of the navy?'
and then continued as though nothing
had happened. Once in a while, from
the reporters gallery, l could observe
Hamlin nudging Johnson from behind.
reminding him that the hour for the
inauguration ceremony had passed.
The speaker kept on, although Presi-
dent Lincoln sat before him, patiently
waiting for his extraordinary harangue
to be over"
The study of the faces below was in
teresting. Seward was as bland and
serene as a summer day; Stanton APP
peared to be petrifed Welles' face was
usually void of any expression; Speed
sat with his eyes closed; Dennison was
red and white by turns. Among the
union senators, Henry Wilson's face
was flushed. Sumner wore "A saturnine
and sarcastic smile, and most of the
others turned and twisted In their sem
atorial chairs as If In long-drawn agony.
or the supreme bench. Judge Wilson
only was apparently moved, his lower
jaw being dropped clean down in blank
horror Chase was marble, >adamant,
granite in immobility until Johnson
turned his back upon the senate to take
the oath, when he exchanged chances
with Nelson, who then closed up his
mouth. When Johnson had repeated
inaudibly the oath of office, his hand
upon the book, he turned and took the
Bible In his hand, and, facing the au-
dience said, with a loud, theatrical
voice and gesture, II kiss this book In
the face of my nation OF the United
States"

Posted on an Important Point.

The late Mr.. Marbury was probably
the oldest practicing attorney in New
York. He was one of the founders of
the Bar association, and stood at the
head of his profession for the last thirty
or forty years. His stories were as fam

many founding jest had been foisted
upon them both with little or no claim
of parentage. A favorite one with him
concerned the visit to this country of
a Cockney solicitor who was character
istically mixed up in the use of his

the legal profession of New York, said
that its members were very proficient
and learned, but that they were abso-
lutely ignorant on the subject of "hen-

THEY USETHE TELAUTOGRAPH
Count de Poiignac Says 1t Is Popular in
London and Paris.

The Count de Polignac has made the
Chicago Auditorium temporary head
quarters during the last few days. In
referring to his visit he said to a re-
porter for the Chicago Journal: Il am
en- route to Mexico, where my family
has possessions. French capital has
found a profitable field in that country.
The purpose of my trip is to arrange
for further investments. At home we
have to be satisfied with per cent. In
Mexico we are assured Of 10. thing
that you Americans don't appear to APP
preciate, but which will revolutionize
long distance conversation, is the tel
autograph. Paris and London depend
on the telantograph to-day as you do
upon the telephone. BY the new inven-
ton one can send twenty-five words
per minute, and the reproduction is an
exact fac-simile of the sender's writing.
The service is expensive, but there is a
redeeming feature which as rule we
are all willing to pay forts privacy.
One can communicate directly with
correspondent without a third party
being cognizant of the purport of the
message The Count was asked to say
something about the French Fair of
1900. "Oh. that is too far off. Messieurs
Picard snd Bouvard, who have the di-
rection of the Exposition, advertised
for plans and secured lie replies. OF
this number, eighteen were adjudged
worthy of prizes, and the buildings will
be constructed from ideas suggested by
the eighteen. Our Director-General AL
phonse Alphond, who drew the original
sketch and specifications of the enter
prise died few weeks ago. His demise
is a handicap to the affair, as we con-
sidered him facile princeps in the archi-
tectural line"

Pets of Queen Victoria.

Jessie, Queen Victoria's own riding
mare. is still pet with her majesty,
although the riding days of the queen
have long been past. Jessie is q years
old, but she has not lost her beauty,
and when her royal mistress is at
Windsor the black mare with the white
cross on her forehead is trotted out for
the queens inspection every fine day.
Another pet kept at Windsor is the
Egyptian donkey, Tewfik, brought from
Cairo and presented to the queen by
Lord Woolseley. 1t is much larger than
the ordinary English donkey, and has
a white coat and abnormally long ears.
