Thero aro other difficulties, though, than those of producing good matter, I have in mind a young woman of North Carolina, 'who rent mo a.story and a play, which latter I, passed On to Mr. Daly for -consideration. She wruto mo .that Bhe saw no possible 'hse In persevering 61 her effort, V since she could not afford to write a single short story, even if she had the certain prospect of its being accepted and paid for, for tho price for which people could buy a whole set of Dickens or Thack eray. Tlio lack of an Intcrfiational cop--right and tho cheap reproduction of Eng lish novels aro tremendous obstacles to tho bucccps of nativo writers." y : ' "But suppose your young aspirant re fuses to be daunted," 1 questioned, "what is it pofsiblo to say to her then?" "There are more women writing today than ever before in tho world's history, and for -those who' mean to be workers and give their best ye:irs to the business there is a field. . In this, as in all careers, success depends tmon the character and motives of the worker, and I am sorry to say that tbe majority of young women who ask me to lend them a hand are wholly unprepared to meet the require ments of tho calling. But disinclination to begin in the right is their fault, and it is one not wholly confined to women. Young mcn---tho weak ones cf any ago are given to the idea that however much other people may havo delved, they ore to reach at one bound the reputation and pecuniary suocess they desire. To all to whom 1 write at all I repeat tho old truism that there i3 ample room at the top, and there is much credit in striving In that direction. " Laura C.

'- HANGIO A THERMOMETER. now to Ascertain Ilia TnW Tei::rntnr of the Aliiitmphere GoontRl Utiles. There are1 so many - erroneous ideal among persons- who keep a thermometer, as to the lowest temperature- during twenty-fonr hours, and how te? obtain it correctly, that a few practical sug gestions - "from one. who , has L .tot many years kept a daily, record of 'icmperaturo by an accurate thermom eter , that caw; bo depended ' upon, will bo opportune, and doubtless accept able. Having given Ho little attention ta tbe indications of the thermometer under varying conditions, wo feel pre pared, after careful and repeated observa iionn, to offer some instructions for Iho benefit of tlwso who may wish more ac curately to Uetermi'.io the temperature of the ntruospherc at any time. In tlie firtt pkicc, then, tho temperature of the wall of any building, at any hour of the day or night, is no5 tho lempcraturo of tho circulating air, and ia of no use in at tempts to obtain tho exact degree of best r cold. ; A wood -wall will radiate its heat more rapidly than one of brick or stone, and' tho man who bangs bis ther uiometer on a wood wall can force the Eicroury below another hung against a brick wall. Tlio . proper way to hang a thermometer is to Mirround it with a high wooit frame, covered - with slats, liko Bhutter work, and roofed over. This will ptotect it from tlio wind, tho direct rays of the sun, and reflected beat. " Run a light wood bar across the ; center cf your shellcr, to. which you can attach tlio thermometer, which should nlwaya be, when properly exposed,"' bung by a cord on the north side of tho building, and at least oa foot from till Burrouad lag objecu If the above directions hro carefully followed w shall not bejir of to many eiToneous ri-por3 about the temperature, and tho exaggerated i.tatements regard ing (Io extreme cold weather will not find tlieir way. into ptwit. so, often. It L hot an 'unusual' matter for a news paper to report 20 or 25 dogs. lclow, when 13 or 13 degs. represented the tru temperature of tlie atmosphere.
