Good Advice to New Writers.

If you want to learn to write set about
1t In a practical way. Read a. great deal
of the work of the masters Of short-story
writing I might refer you to Boccaccio
and Chaucer. but to modern men let us
first give modern examples. Read the short
tales of Stevenson. Bret Harte and H. C.
Bunner, Of Thomas Hardy, MIR. Aldrich
and Mr.. Janvier. Not only read. but study
them. And all the while practice on
stories OF your own. What you write one
week tear up the next. 1t is not likely that
any masterpieces will be lost. Square your
work with the work of these writer's. Fill
yourself so full of goodw example that
you will have the short-story feeling"
Thus you will unconsc:ously become a
judge of what you do.-Woman's Home
Companion for June.

Mr.. Goldstein is a young mar and had

TEACHERS ELECTED l.. DUNNE. k.

z The daily papers give the impression that Judge Dunne's election as mayor of Chicago by the largest vote ever boiled for a mayor of that city, by q plurality of twenty-five thousand and by a majority over all other candidates, merely means an attempt at early mI- snicipal ownership, while in reality it means more educationally, to the city and to the Unitsd States, than any oth- CT city. election has ever meant. It means the triumph of the Chicago We Inen Teachers Federation, and makes Margaret A. Haley the most remarka- ,ble woman ill local public leadership that has ever besn developed in tie United States or in the world, as to that matter.
 A year ago a Chicago schoolmaster was invited. to address an educational association in another state. Inciden- tally the letter of invitation stated that
 Miss Haley had also been invited. He declined to appear on the same plat form with Miss Haley. Think of it!

PICKING VIoLETs.

sssIts all matter of taste, I suppose, f" said a fussy person, ''but at this season of the year always wonder if the wo- men don't rather overdo the violet bus mess.

Now, to my mind modest bunch of violets, pinned to a dress or coaf, is al right; it makes an attractive bit of color that is grate- ful to the eye. But when a woman loads herself down until she gives you the impression that she's trying to find out how many flowers she can push in front of her, admiration is in danger of being transformed into pity. You feel as if she ought to have basket or a boy to carry them.
 T met girl this noon who looked as If she were straining to break through the wall of a violet hothouse and were meeting with indifferent success.

THE PRESIDENT AS A PERFORMER

THE PRESIDENT AS A REFORMEFi.
 No one hereafter should question the zeal and sincerity of the president as a civil service reformer. The Philadel- phia Press publishes some interesting figures showing exactly what he has done in this direction. h three years and half he has issued no less than seventeen orders, adding seVenty-tWo thousand places to the protected list. The post office department has had particular attention. The employees in the census office, in the Cuban military service and in insular naval stations, on the canal commission and in the fer estry service; deputy collectors, deputy surveyors and asfliers in the customs service; special agents of the Immigra- ton bureau; officials of the war de- partment in the Philippines -thesa are among. the classes where the reform Eas been applied. The fourth-class postmasters, who are to come next, it is said, will add ninety-fve thousand more to the number of those in the clas- sif1ed service. This is in truth a re- naarkable record and one for which the president deserves full credit. He has had little help from the politicians of his own party.-Providenee Journal.

Champ Clark Getting Ready 70 Attack
 Their Policy.
 And now We are told that iarih Te.i- sion by the Fffty-ninth congress- is most unlikely. PTominsnt staEdpattsrs smile. or answer with impatianae, when the subject is mentioned to them. Y2s. they have hsard that something of inc kind is expected here and there. but they do not expect it. Yes, they know about the authority granted, for the senate finance committee to meet at its pleasure during the recess to consider the question of tariff schedules, but what does that amount %?
 Well, Yankee fashion, suppose we turn that question on it's propounders? What. does that order Of tlie senate amount to? It seemed serious enough when made. The motion came from Mir. Allison, who acted for Mir. Aldrieh, chairman of the finance commirtea, and at MT. Aldrich's request. The Rhode Island senator was in Eufops, but we were informed he thought 1t advisable that the matter of our present tariff rates as applying to our present nation- al nesds be Investigated before the meeting of congress next fall or winter.
 Is it his idea that an investigation will refute the arguments of the revision ists? Is the senate committeo's work to be directed along that. line and 60 that end? He is the leader Of the i stand-patters, and formidable dcia- ter on the whole tariff subjece.
 ! It was only the other day an an nouncement was made that Champ i Clark was preparing to devote his time the coming summer to a study Jf the ! Dfngley sehsdules. There was no diffi- :, culty fin determining the meaning of that. Mir. Clark is as much opposed to protection as Mir. Aldrich is in favor 5f it, and we shall probably hear him laundering in the house at the next sss- sion against protection and all its f works. It will be easy for him to she v that some of the present schedules have i outlived their justice, and, extremist a+ he is, he may attempt to use that fact against the whole law. .,. The revisionists, as the Star has rre.
 viously suggested, should take notice
 and get busy themselves. Their case is i strong, but the strongest case requires careful attention where the opposition is both capable and alert. We should hear from them when congress r,.ets
 not upon general but particular lines
 In other words they should be pre- 5 pared to say just what should oa done } to make the Dingley law conform tc conditions which have grown ,ul of itt ] fayors. Protection as general policy
 will need no defence. Nothing that Mir l Clark can say will turn the country to- l ward free trade. Protection VII stil !. prevail, but it should be and must, Ee i uitable.-Wa Star.

MAYOR MCCLELLAN.

Two bills were passed by the legisia- ture at the session just closed which, if they receive the approval of the gover- nor, as they are practically sure to do, will give to this city something like a new government. That is to say, thsse laws will work a very substantial change in the distribution of powers, and especially in the possible use of the powers intrusted to the mayor. One bill extends the term of the mayor to four years. The other transfers to the board of apportionment the powers of the board of aldermen over franchises. An extension of the term of the mayor would not have been conceded by the legislature, and would not be welcomed by the intelligent people of New York, had not the present mayor won a very decided degree of confi- dence in his good intentions and in his ability. His position in that respect is
 made plainer and more significant by
 the fact that he protested openly and urgently against the one staring mani- festatfon of Tammanyism in the legis- 1ototO, IAS FoIeS Ol df put TWO or the Tamnany members against the bills to release the city from the grasp of the gas and electric light companies. The contrasts between their votes and his telegrams of protest stands out very clearly, very brilliantly. -#
 The situation presented at this mo-
 ment is striking one. A mayor who
 has made a surprisingly good impress sion on the public mind, at the close of
 the session of the legislature openly re- ibukes the representatives of alISthere is
 worst in his party machine, and passes to the canvass in which are to be dcei- ded the nomination and election of a
 mayor for four years. Should he de-
 sire the renomination, it is practically out of the poWsr of Tammany to refuse it except at the cost of almost certain defeat. So far as can now be seen lie can have a renomination, and have it on his own tsrms. He can have it, that is to say, with the assurance that in the four years he shall be free to give to the city in all the matters embraced by his extraordinary powers an adrninis- tration in accordance with his own standards, which he can fix as high as he chooses.-New York Times.

cows sNEEzING SIGN or RAIN

COWS sNEEzING SIGN OF RAIN.
 ''There was an old negro slave on my uncls's farm down in Tennessee who was peculiar chap, and of whom the youngsters about the Dlace-Wilite as well as black--stood in fear, said Senator Carmack in conversation With a group of friends.
 This aged senegambian, Uncle Tom by name, could give all the modern weather sharps cards and spades and beat them, for he could predict With almost unerring accuracy what the ele- ments would be doing. One day was standing out in the COW psn beside the old man. when he suddenly exclaimed: Did you hear that?
 ' Hear what, Uncle Tom?
 Hear that old speckled COW sneeze. sio, as you am libin, boy, it am a gwins ter rain befo' morning, kase wheneber you hear a cow sneeze dat means rain.
 Sure enough, it poured down from the skies, as Tom had foretold. Prior to that I had never taken note of a cows sneezing, and there may be skep- tical folks who would doubt that his was a bovine habit, but my own belief in it is firmly established, and am equally sure that old Tom had good cause to establish connection between it and wet weather.

WHY JUSTICE HARLAN MAY RE

WHY JUSTICE HARLAN MAY RE-
 TIRE.
 There is talk about Washington that Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme court is about to leave the service of law for that of religion; in other words, that he may quit the bench to devote himself to the estab- lishment of Presbyterian cathedral in the city of Washington.
 The association of ideas in connee- ton with such a proposed temple sounds a little queer. What would the old covenanters have said to such a suggestion or to the coupling of their sacred designation with a term that smacked of ''papacy and prelacy?" But times change and even Presbyteri- ans change with them, and Judge Har- Ian is profoundly interested in the ad- vancement of this project When quss- tioned uon his intentions he announced that he was not prepared to say that he would leave the bench for the pur- pose of devoting himself to the move ment, but he admitted that much would depend upon the action of the general assembly which meets a week from next Thursday, and the early work of raising funds would involve a great amount of work in the way of correspondence. If requested to do so he would be willing to share part of this burden. .....
 Justice Harlan has been on the Su- preIne bench for twenty eight years and evidently likes the place, but leading Presbyterians at Washington think his interest in the cathedral is strong enough to draw him from it, and if the matter is taken Aup the the assembly there is strong probability that he will be asked to direct the movement Boston Transcript.
