All the men and women that have risen to distinction in the field of let ters have served apprenticeship in the technics of the art before they reached the ear of the public. The poets alone seem to have a gift of speech at the 'Outset and even they learn much in the course of years and practice. But the young aspirant should not model his line of procedure on that followed by the acknowledged geniuses. Only igenius can hope to imitate genius. For ordinary talent there is no royal road to literary mastership. The art of "writing must be studied diligently, painfully, humbly. The use and abuse of words and phrases must be considered, not for a day, but for many years. The formation of sent ences must be the thought of one's waking hours. The manufacture of a style is the labor of years. The old saying that "style is the man" is per fectly true, but it has deluded many •a youngster Into the belief that all he had to do was to express himself according to the Impulse of the mo ment, Just as he would In talking, and that thus he would be a writer. "Style Is the man." It is not the boy. It Is the reflex of the mature mind, the embodiment of thought, which no longer stumbles, but walks with sure feet, and makes for itself a broad and beautiful path of words. Let those that are wondering why their effusions do not burst Into print at once stop and consider whether they really have anything particular to say, and then whether they have any particular way of saying It. There are more persons with something to say (perhaps not something immprtal, but still worth 6aying) than there are with a genu ine of literary expression. The latter does not come by nature; nor does it come with experience. It comes only by practice, and not an easy practice at that. It was that most literary of all recent writers, Robert Louis Stevenson, who said that the man not willing to spend a whole afterneon in search of the right word to expresß an idea is unfit for the busi ness of literature.—New York Times. THE CH«NBE OF LIFE " Is the most important period in a wo man's existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and some times painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with ohills, s if the heart were going to stop for good, are symptoms of a dan gerous, nervous trouble.

(THE BETTER MAN. | It was a perfect moonlight night, and two people were slowly pacing a secluded path in the grounds of the Darncombe Cliff hotel. The man was about 35 years of age powerfully built, with a strong, good-looking face, and a bronzed complexion. His com panion was a young and radiantly pretty girl, not more that 21. They strolled for some momeuts in Bilence. The man, with his hands thrust deep in the pockets of his Jacket, was thinking hard, thinking of the thing that had happened to him. He was in love —in love with the girl who was walking so calmly by his Bide. And it could have no result! It was impossible. They had come to a seat on the cliff, and the girl touched him lightly on the arm. He awoke from his reverie with a start. ''Shall we sit down for a moment?" ahe said. "You haven't told me half of what I want to know yet." "You can't think," she continued, smiling at him frankly, "how dread fully nervous I was when Cyril told me you were coming to England." Dalyell forced a smile. "Haiand of treasures; the well til e, sed people pass him in long pro sslon; the carriages go up and down the road.

MOULT OP BIRDS. One Bird Green In Winter, Bed la Summer. Mr. Witmer Stone addressed the Biological club of the University of Pennsylvania recently on the "Moult of Birds." This subject, said the speaker, is one that has interested me for a long time, but it seems to have been gen erally neglected by ornithologists. All birds moult regularly once a year; this Is a physical necessity, for the wearing of the feathers makes their replace ment an absolute requirement If flight is to be continued. This annual or post-nuptial moult occurs at the end of the nesting season. The feathers never drop out at the same time; the process is gradual and during its con tinuance the bird has never more than one or two feathers missing at once. In the body, as recently discovered by Professor Dwight, the moult takes place along regular tracts. The wing feather moult begins with the inner most of the primaries, the ninth, which is moulted first; the others follow in succession outwardly. In the tail the first feather lost Is the middle one, and, as with the wings, it is followed by the loss of the next outward one, and so on. Here Mr. Stone exhibited specimens showing the various stages of wing and tail moulting. He then referred to a number of exceptions to the rule, such as that of the wood peckers, which in moulting lose the side feathers of the tail first, and, con tinuing, said some species have addi tional moults, like the scarlet tanpger It undergoes two moults. It is a green color in winter and a red color in sum mer. The claim has been set up by some ornithologists that this is not the result of moulting, but due to an actual change of pigment. There is, however, no evidence to sustain this view. The speaker then explained the succession of plumages from the egg to the adult, and followed with a de tailed consideration of plumages, with the reasons for same and for excep tions to general rules in a large num ber of birds, illustrating his remarks with specimens. The subject was dis cussed by Drs. Montgomery, Calvert, Conklln and Harehberger.
