THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. THE IUEAL NEWSPAPER. A VALUABLE PUBLIOATIOB. bm UKiibK. AT HIS BIRTH. How One Wat Tried and What the Result The Pennsylvania Railroad 1899 Summer Ufa, txctirsion Home book. Mrs. Byron Sherry dctcndcd the newspapers at the tentli May meet ing of the Illinois Universalist church, Prairie Avenue and Thir tieth street. She said the modern newspaper reflected the moral con dition of the people, and if they wanted better papers they would have to be better themselves. " I hear a great deal about the ' ideal ' newspaper in the clubs and literary societies I visit," Mrs. Sherry said, "but in the face of this theorizing and knowing I will be thought heretical if I must say the newspapers are just what you make them." "Continuing, she said: "The ' ideal ' newspaper would, of course, have only matter pertaining to pur ity and temperance and kindred things. Well, I've seen one, and I took pains to find out what people thought of it, and die verdict wasn't encouraging. The paper I am speaking of was a woman's edition of a big daily, and it was filled with columns about suffrage and the W. C. T. U. and the white ribbon movement and homes for cripples and half-orphans and a lot of other things that interested the dear sisters. The next morning I started out to talk to the men, for I knew the women would voice a chorus of praise. I asked my hus band how he liked it. He reads the paper before he eats his break fast, usually, but that day he said he ' guessed he'd let me and the children read it.' I talked to a merchant, and he said he had looked it all over and hadn't found any news, and another friend said : ' It's long on "essays but a little short on news ! ' "I asked another if he didn't feel better inside for having seen an ideal paper, and he answered : ' No ; it made me swear this morn ing. I had a little money invested in wheat and I wanted to see how the market was, and there isn't a line of markets in the paper.' And that was the way this ' ideal ' paper k, was received. It's much easier to criticise than to perform. News papers were established to meet a popular demand. They have their vices and their virtues just as the people do. As humanity gets bet ter they will get better. T.-ey re flect your moral condition perfectly. If you want a ' good ' newspaper be good vourselves." Chicago Record (Ind.).

The younger llndley ns ft Btudent from the erudle, til ways stand ing: nt the head of Ids class. He was the vnlctfictoriun of the class of '70 at Yale. He might have said of himself, ns did John Stuart Mill, that lie could not remember the time when he did not know Greek. In his undergraduate days, says the Chiengo Chronicle, this story was cur rent os showing his precocity: When lie was born the infant gasped nhnost instnntly the Creek word, "Krchonini," which is usually translated "I come," sometimes "I have come," although it is of the present tense. I'rof. lludley smiled with pride at this evidence of heredity, putted the infant on the back nnd mildly corrected him by saying: Klthon," another tense of the same verb, known as the "second aorist,"anl expressing to the nncient Athenian the idea of Indefinite past time. It is common report that at an age when most boys are in the kindergar ten the distinguished scholar would not have been able to trip up his son in even so trifling an error. SUNSET AND SUNRISE.

Beginning June 1 the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company will ex tend the limit on excursion tickets to the Southern New Jersey sea shore resorts from ten days to fifteen days, including date of sale. This extension covers Atlantic City, Cape May, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalou, Stone Harbor, Anglesea, Holly Beach, Wildwood. Somers' Point, and all other resorts on the south Jersey coast reached via the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad, and applies to tickets from Phila delphia, Wilmington, Ilarrisburg, Williamsport, Elmira, Wilkes Barre, Pottsville, Reading, Philips burg, New York, and intermediate stations. This extension of limit, covering the usual two-weeks' summer vaca tion, will, no doubt, receive the hearty approval of business men, and others filling clerical positions. The limit on excursion tickets reading from any of the above sea shore points to Philadelphia will also be extended from ten days to fifteen days. . 2t. No More Fakirs. Mayor Schaadt, of Allentown, has issued instructions and an order to the police department not to is sue any more licenses to fakirs and street merchants. The first day af ter the order was issued the streets was cleared and the business men are elated at the action of the Mayor. The city, they say, can well afford to lose the small sum of one dollar a night, instead of hav ing the crowds gather about the hawkers and lose their dollar and fifty-cent pieces without any sub stantial returns. " From a Laboring Man to a Millionaire- Scranton has been all agog for the past few days over the an nouncement on Saturday that Chas. W. Westley, a lowly citizen, had become a millionaire. His aunt, Mrs. J. K. Ayres, eighty-three years old, at Andover, N. J., noti fied him by letter that she had set tied upon him as her sole heir and she desired that he change his abode from Scranton to Andover and look after her in her declining days. 1 tie aged lady is worth a great deal over a million, and has among other property a 100-acre peach orchard and a town site. It is needless to say that he has moved. Sometimes one sees n sunrise. Gen erally It is on a sleeping car or else where when one cannot claim credit for the seeing, says the New York Com mercial Advertiser. Poets are luzy creatures, eke they would write more ubout sunrises than sunsets. Sunrises really suit tbew better; ut least such of them as are "of the air, airy." A few arc sunset men, but most of them, in spit of the babble about passion, are rather shimmery creatures and tlie Bhiminery colors ure the sunrise col ors delicate plnka and yellows, such as trie sunset never equals, tnougn. its colors are richer nnd more satisfying in a way. The evening colors are like the beauty of a woman. It seems as if the long experience of the day hnd given them the depth and richness that the experience of life gives to the woman. The morning colors are like the young girl, beautiful in her promise more than in her present self. The sunset is what we need at the end of the tiring dav. We steep our souls in its glorious solorlng nnd in its strength, nnd lose the dust nnd weariness of the day. The sunrise comes to us ns we awaken. Its purity appeals to us not to let our souls be dragged down by the sordid day to come. llic sunrise is the consecration preceding the action. x NEVER WENT ABROAD. Very Few of the Presidents of the lulled States llnve Ever Crossed the Ocean. Big Boom in Lumber- The Lumbering industry in the vicinity of Williamsport is experi encing the biggest boom that has occurred in years, and prices are fast going up. White pine has gone up from $2 to $4 per thousand feet, according to grade ; and hem lock took a jump of $1 to $2 per thousand feet. Laths are now ' worth 60 and 70 cents more per thousand than they were last year. Oak and wormy chestnut are scarce -at any price. The Blatherskite. The Punxsutawney Spirit of last week says, and we ars of the same opinion, that one of the gravest of fenders against human society and against whom we have no protec tion is the blatherskite. We find him everywhere always eager to express an emphatic opinion upon all subjects. He is a blatherskite because he is by nature and educa tion a rattlebrain. No amount of snubs and rebuffs will cause him to realize that his wisdom is not ap preciated. He is a heartrending notice and yet we dare not kill him because the naturalist classes him in the genius home. " Tou May Bend the Sapling, But Not the Tree-" When disease has become chronic and deep seated it is often difficult to cure it. That is the reason why it is best to take Hood s Sarsapa- rilla when disease first shows itself in pimples, headaches, indiges tion, or other troubles which tell of poor blood, weak stomach or dis ordered liver or kidneys. This great medicine regulates the wltole system. It never disappoints. Hood s Pills are the favorite fam ily cathartic. Ex-President Harrison will spend the summer abroad in the performance of his duties as counsel for Venezuela in the boundury dispute with Great Brit ain. Our presidents in recent years have mostly been home-keeping folks, says the Philadelphia Enquirer. McKinley nnd Cleveland have never been across the ocean. Neither had Abraham Lincoln nor Andrew Jnckson. We believe that Gen. Hayes was among the presidents whose lives were too full of domestic work to permit them to cross the ocean. President Hnyes fought through the civil war, then was govern or of Ohio, and afterward president. Perhaps he Bhrnnk from going abroad after Ids retirement from the presi dential office, because to have done so after Gen. Grant's ovational lournev would have seemed like inviting to himself a repetition of these atten tions. James Buchanan was one of the most successful of our foreign ambnssadors. but between the time of Franklin Pierce nnd that of the earlier Dresi dents, some of whom were called abroad by negotiations growing out of the rev olutionary war, there is a long list of presidents of the United States who never crossed the Atlantic.

American pottery has few peers In these duys of Souwelsa and Rook wood and the pule, pearly, exquisitely-tinted glue wure shown in such graceful de signs, says the New York Commercial Advertiser, The Souwelsa is first cousin to Rook wood, but a poor relation, as it costs about half ns much as do the symphonies in polished greens and browns. It bus the same finish, the same designs and tones, but seems to lack the richness of Hook wood, al though the difference would not ba per ceptible, to the person perfectly sane on the question of brie-a-brae.
