Avoid "hifalutin," spread eagle and riproar ing styles; they are of the yet remoter past Find out what your bent is, if you hive any, and what you have to say, If anything; if not, seek other pursuits. Remember that a poor story or essay is of less value than a peck of inferior ap pies, and that the author of a bad novel is entitled to no more respect than a hoemaker or a farmer who does not understand his business. The pioneers of our literature may have done what now seems poor work, but they knew no better then and bad nothing better they were pioneers, and as such entitled to a place in history bat nobody is go ing to write the history of the inultifa rious literary efforts of our time that come to nothing. Whatever you do take pains with it. Try at least to write good English. Learn to criticise and correct your work. Put your best iuto every sentence. If you are too lazy and careless to do that, better go into trade or politics. It it easier to become a congressman or mil lionaire than a real author, and we save too many bad story tellers as it is.

The wind is strong and steady, and the boat glides faster and faster. Sharp exclamations of pleasure testify that the passengers are enjoying it The speed increases. Before lies a field smooth as plate glass and level as a billiard table. For two miles it extends without a flaw. At its farther edge lies a tremen dous crack filled with ground up ice and heaving black water. The full pow er of the wind strikes the white wings as the smoothest ice is reached, and the craft darts away at a tremendous pace, faster, faster, she flies, till she is trav eling faster than the wind that drives iter. The air seems to be full of electric parks ; a frosty haze blurs the view ; ev ery hearer is throbbing with delight at the wild, free speed of it all. Before one has had time to think the crack seems to be rushing at the boat. A mo-i went of intense anxiety, a catching of meatus, a wild pumping of hearts, then shriek of excited joy.

Sew York gun. A Novel Plan. "When Lawsou Tuit, the English sur geon, and his wife were driving through the city of Montreal one hot summer morning, Airs.- 'lait, observing large blocks of ice standing opposite each door, remarked, "See what a novel plan they have of keeping the air nice and eool by exposing small icebergs opposite each door." A rtatleis Town. The city of Santa Fe, the capital of Kew Mexico, was founded 300 years ago by Juan do Ouate, and there has never been a rat, a mouse or a cat with in its corporate limits. The air is too .high and dry for rodents and felines. to scotch it as woll as they do now, ihe first Sunday after the dreaded disease made its nppenrnuoe the deacon's congregation was quite largo. At the end of t he serv ices be made an announce ment in about these words: "These services will be postponed un til after the smallpox disappears from the community. From this on I Bhall give my services to the stricken fum ilies. I shall minister to their wants. help to nurse them, and when they die follow them to the grave. It may bo a long term or It may be a short term. but, however long or however short, it la my plain duty to help my distressed neighbors." The word was well suited to the ao tion which followed. The good old dea con hurried to his home, changed his clothes, bade his family good by and at onoe began his work of mercy. What a work it wast The epidemio lasted near ly all winter. Lare numbers died. Few in the village escaped the disease. The deacon's example was followed by oth ers. Men went to their homes, told their Wives and children what the deacon had aid and was doing, arranged their busi ness, provided fuel and provisions, kissed their dear ones and went to the aid of the unfortunate. Like the deacon they went without reward or hope of reward. I Like him they spent weeks and some of them months in that service without daring to go home lest their dear ouoe catch the disease. The strangest of all this strange ex perience is the fact that neither the dea con, the good souls who imitated his ex ample nor their families were overtaken by the malady, notwithstanding the fact that the watchers, helpers and nurse were almost constantly in the presence of the suffering patients and notwith standing the fact that they laid out and helped to bury the dead. .Nearly half of the deacon's congrega tion had disappeared when, the next spring, he resumed services in the schoolhouse. It was a sorrowful Son day. Those in the audience who had not lost members of their family had lost neighbors and dear friends. Wbon the good old Christian had read a chapter, prayed and talked a practical sermon. he referred feelingly to the scenes through which the community had I passed. I thiuk every man, woman and child in the room, including the deacon, wept. At the close of the talk he asked all present to join him on their knees in asking that the community might escape such visitations for all time U come. It was a most earnest appeal. 1 believe that that prayer lias been an swered. There may have been a few rases of smallpox there since then, but there has never been an epidemic. The Sunday after Sumter was fired upon, and while Deacon Trowbridge was conducting services in the Baptist church, the denomination to which he belonged for over bO years, he aud his I congregation were disturbed by a great I commotion in the street right in front of the church. There were beating of J drums and sounds of fife much out of I iu tho flaring daub w hile the angel of death was hovering over him, ready to snatch him away at any numieut "Theu," said the doctor's friend, "a shot or a stab in tho heart is not neces sarily fatal, as it is understood by mod ern surgery?" "Sot at all," returned tho doctor. "But, of course, we are not shaking of wounds as big -and terrible as tho one iu that museum picture. That Is appar ently even worse tlmu tho thrust re ceived by Mercutio looks about as deep as a well and as wide as a church door. No uiau who has been wounded like Umt ever survives more than a minute. That mau in the museum is alloirod to be Charles B. Nelsou, who was mys teriously shot one evening while in the company of Mrs. Edith Marguerite Sta ples iu Washington park. Tho shootiuu occurred ou a night live mouths auo. and the man with an ounce of load in bis heart is still alive. Whether he sleeps well aud has a good appetite I am tinablo to say. He was formerly a cyclist of some note. Nelson's breast was subjected to the X rays, aud. ao- cording to suiograpbs which were made at the time, tho bullet lodged iu the septum of the heart the fourfold par tition of muscular fiber that divides tho interior of that orgau iuto right and left auricles aud ventricles. There it has continued to throb up aud dowu about 100,000 times a day ever since that mys terious shooting, and at every pulsation ' refuting the old theory of medical sci ence that the touch of hostilo metal to man's heart brings death. "The most skillful and daring sur geon on earth, if he were asked to re move the bullet from Nelson's heart, would shake his head in the negative. So this man must carry his leaden han dicap as long as life shall last Seems strange, doesn't it? "Aud yet, notwithstanding what I bave said, we have surgeons nowadays who do undertake and carry to a suc cessful oonclusiou operations on the heart This is done by opening the peri cardium, for example, iu cases of drop sy of the heart, and drawing off the fluid by aspiration. A man may bave bis heart punctured with the point of a knife or a needle and still recover from the injnry. It used to be held that wounds of this character were invaria bly fatal. But a wound of the heart is not necessarily fatal, as is shown in the case where a needle was removed by Cullender from the substance of that organ. Cases of like nature bave been reported by Bra. Hahu, Agnew, Stela- nor and others. where rupture not result in immediate death are re ported by Dr. D. J. Hamilton, a well known Scotch surgeon aud pathologist "The case of Boole, a prizefighter, was one of the most remarkable. Poole was shot in the heart whilo engaged in an encounter with a man named Baker, iu New Jersey, in 1855. To all outward appearance ho recovered rapidly and iu four days felt so well that he expressed wihu to finish the interrupted contest A FAMOUS MULBERRY TREE, flauted by Mllt.iu In t'hrlat'e College Gar dena, Cambridge. Ill the gardens of Christ's college, Cambridge, stands a venerable mulberry true, which, tradition says, was planted by Milton during the tininwhen he was student nt the university.

In the event of a bough bronklug and fulling it is divided with even jus tioo among the fellows of tho col lego, and many pieces are thus preserved as mementos of thu poet. It was during his residence at Cambridge that he com posed bis odu, "Ou thu Morning of Christ's Nativity." "Lyeldas," too, is Intimately conueoted with Milton's life at the university, since it was written in memory of Edward Klug, his college friend and contemporary, with whom I he doubtless shared tho same rooms. 1 In those days students did not as i now, occupy separate apartments, ai 1 witness the origiual statutes of the col- J lego, "Iu which chambers our wish is that the fellows sleep two aud two, but the scholars four and four," in conse quence of which a much closer intimacy was formed among them than is now possible. Dr. Johusou relates that Mil ton was flogged at Cauibridue. but the fuot is doubtful, though there is reason to suppose that he had differences with the authorities in the earlier port of bis college career, since he was transferred from bis original tutor. This tree is still pointed out to visitors and was un til recent years ecpeeially marked by a bongo of mistletoe growing upon it Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper. tltMWtmiHtHtHMIIIWMWI A Beautiful Present In order to further Introduce ELASTIC STARCH (Flat !mn Draml), the manuiacturpr. 1 C.

The old deacon's eyes flashed as he walked out into the street, where a young fellow was irregularly pounding Dans drum, and said: "Nathan.
