ITALICS USED FOR EMPHASIS
They Reveal the Writers Sehsc os the Relative importance In Things
 He Has Written.

Doctors of style in the writing of English declare that the use of italics for emphasis is positive fault, show ing weakness of construction and in. ability to express ideas strongly by q right arrangement of words. Never theless, italics are used deliberately by some fOrceful writers to gain added effect and to fasten the eye and the mind of the reader uron important roints, somewhat as speaker will strengthen his oration by. vocal en1- Ehasis and gesture. Whatever may be said for or against the use of italics, they certainly reveal the writer's sense of relative importance in the things he has written. He has select ed certain words and hence, as we note their significance we begin to know more of the man behind the words. His choice of emphasis tells US what manner of man he is. His italics are an index of his mental or moral character
 We are all writing history day by day On every rage some things are written small, others stand out boldly in italics. Take up the book at night and read the story of the day. It will be an interesting record--parhaps a startling one. Doubtless we shall feel very much like correcting the proof when we find where the italics are set.-Christian Herald.

This true story was told by west ern merchant at one of the recent dinners given by a commercial or ganization here, says the New fork correspondent of the Cincinnai Tines Star.
