Whitman «t« all Editor, Whitman wrote 011 anything and ev erything, after the fashion of editors, lometlrues with earnestness, sometimes ivith undisguised indifference. Here is ;i sample of an occasional sort: "To cure the toothache plunge your feet in coid water. Strange, but true." For "but" most people would reael "if." The man who must supply a column at a given hour every day cannot make the quality uniform. Whitman dis cusses public and personal questions, asks if It is right to dance and answers himself that it is if one goes to bed in decent season, rates the ferry company for allowing mfti to smoke and spit on the decks, and while the United States army is fighting In Mexico he turns out a restful screcel entitled "Some After noon Gossip" devoted to a rainfall and the lamentations of ice cream makers' 011 account of the cool weather. Some happenings always drew a lecture from him. He could not abide harshness, unfairness, tyranny or cruelty. Not an execution of the death sentence occur red anywhere In the Union that he did not inveigh against capital punishment. Indeed the severities of law seemed to irritate him more than the severities of the criminal.—Charles M. Skinner in Atlantic. Edltorlnl ConNolntlon. The senator had droppesel in for n friendly chat with his friend the edi tor of his home paper and had hardly seateel himself when there appeared a well known character of the town, a type of liiellvidual common to every lo cality, the man who knows "how the paper ought to be run." Without noticing the presence of the senator the man launched Into a com plaint that the paper had not printed certain articles he had written for it. "Why," said he,"l gave 'em to you mouths ago. What have you done with 'em?" The editor smiled sadly. "I'm hold ing them," he replietl. "And the>y serve a very gooel purpose too. Now and then I get to thinking that perhaps we are not offering the public as gexid a paper as we ought to. At such times I look up your articles anel se?e how much worse the sheet might be. So I become real cheerful again. Please don't take them from me!" Lover N of Beauty. The Japanese have a most charming custom which the Americans would do well in following. In the houses of the well to do there is always one room which Is called "the chamber of the in spiring view," and from the windows of tills room may be seen some beauty of nature, sometimes a glimpse of a winding river or pretty bills, and fre quently it is 110 more than a blossoming cherry tree or an interrupted stretch of white snow, but in any case showing the simple love of the naturally beauti ful. While we Americans give theater and elinner parties, the Japanese get up parties to visit the maple trees while they are resplendent in the autumn col ors or togo mushroom hunting, and in the winter they go out into the country to view the fresh untrodden snow.—De troit Tribune. One of FUll>*M Predictlonn. The Journal des Debats tells a story of Professor Rudolf I'"alb. 111 1574 he pre dicted an eruption of Etna on Aug. 27. He offered a Vienna editor to write an account of it if the eelltor would send him to Sicily. Falb was commis sioned. When he reached Etna there was not the slightest sjign of disturb ance. As the 27th approncheel Falb was torture*! with anxiety and spent sleepless nights watching the volcano. Nothing happened 011 the 27tli and 28th. The following morning the servant rushed into the professor's room shout ing, "An eruption, a terrible eruption!" Falb saw the spectacle and sent off his dispatch. Canxe and lOflTect. A certain professor of pedagogy is fond of repeating the following extract from a composition submitted to him for approval during the days when he was a worker in the sehex>lteaehlug ranks. The extract runs as follows: "Beings are divided into names, ac cording to that which they feeel on. The lion eats flesh—the lion is carnivo rous. The e?ow eats grass—the cow is herbarious. Man eats everything; there fore man is omnipotent." lleef and BcntiM. Beef and beans did not originate In Maine, Boston or Park row. The an cient city of Leicester has some claims that will not be elisputed, ns you may judge by these old lines: Cornwall squab pie and Devon whito pot brings And Leicester beans and bacon lit for kings. —New York Press. Guilty. Jones (in a loud whisper)— There's the fellow that fireel on the train— Detective—Hello, you rascal! I've got you dead to rights! Fire on a train, will you? Prisoner—Yes, you fool! I'm the fire man. CuMtom'H IteprehcnMlble Work. "Custom Made Pants," soliloquized the professor, observing si sign in a clothier's window. "Did it? Well, custom was in mighty small business when it cut pantaloons down to pants."—Chicago Tribune. Sympathy. Tom (sadly)— That's the second time Ihe lias said 110. Jack—Yes? I'm sorry two negatives .lon't always make an affirmative.— ftrooklyn Life. Art Note. He—l wonder why Marjorie always insists on calling Gladys picturesque? She—Probably because Gladys is so well painted.—Minneapolis Sentinel. The ClieckerbeiTy, The leaves of the wiutergreen, e ptnall plant, whose bright red berries about the size of peas, are sold on the streets under the name of teaberry have long been usoel for ten, says (IK Philadelphia Press. From this il takes the name by which it is known ii Pennsylvania. New Englunders, foi some unknown reason, call it checker berry. The foliage is very aromatic and people who like a dash of spiciness In their drink have sometimes added its flavor to real tea. It is near of kin and similar in taste to the creeping snowberry, a small, del leate* vine abundant In the great bogs and mossy woods of the north and Al leghany regions, and this is nlso ap proved by mountain palates as a sub stitute for tea. Thoreau In"The Maine Woods" tells of his Indian guide bringing it ink camp one night and recommending ii as the best of all substitutes for tea "It has a slight checkerberry flavor,' he records, "and we both agreed that il was better than the black tea we had drought. We thought It a discovery and that It might be dried and sold ir the shops." Tl»e "Meenlnter 1 *" Appetite. The minister of a kirk in a rathei gemote country parish in Scotland, with his ruling elder, went a long journey for the "catechising" of an old parish loner. The walk was long and arduous, and when they arrived at their destina tion their appetites, to say the least were somewhat "keen," and they did justice to the meal which the old pa rishioner offered them. "Now, Janet," said tiie minister, when he and his companion had for awhile finished eat ing, "we will begin the serious busi ness. Do you remember the text fot last Sunday?" "Aye, I mind it well,' replied Janet. "It was about the mir acle of the loaves and the fishes.' "And have you pondered the subject during the week, Janet?" continued the minister. " 'Deed have I, sir," said the woman, "and I'm thinkin' the noc that if you and the elder had been there they wadna' have taken up sae uiony basketfuls." Children In HUMKIII. A long towel is used by Russian peas ant women to support their babies. These latter have no baby clothes, but are wrapped in a linen sheet, and tbe long towel, fastened in a knot behind the mother, passes from the sliouldei under one arm and makes a sort of sling for the baby to lie in. Children in Russia are not generally allowed oul In tlie severe weather of winter, bul run about barefoot in summer. At night it is so warm in summer thai the beds are often pulled outside ol the house altogether, and it is not an uncommon thing 011 the way home from some late amusement to come across a sleeping family of peasants. Richei families have balconies, onto wlilcli they also sometimes elrag their beds on summer nights. I'ipe FllliiiK iim a Profession. There are few ways of earning an honest penny more strange than that in which an old couple in the north of England eke out a scanty income. Tlieli little cottage is sltuateel near a large mine, and every morning the colliers before descending to their work le-ave their pipes and tobacco boxes in the hands of the old folk. The pipes are cleaned and liileel ready for lighting and the miners can come up at the dinner hour and enjoy a good smoke without having to expenel time ir charging their pipes. They are again left to be in readiness for the evening The small weekly charge per pipe mounts into a respectable number ol shillings at the week's end. Indian Munlc. A student of music of the aborigines states that the Indians have innumera ble songs which conform to a definite melodic system. Many persons have been led to believe that Indian mush consists wholly of drums, whoops and yells, but, in the face of twenty years serious stuely of the matter and thou sands of phonograph records, this be lief is fast disappearing. These mel oelies are all indissolubly linked to leg ends, myths, ceremonials or religious rituals of the greatest poetic and dra inatic beauty. Emenee of Oraiiee Le' • • ■;*• Agent for E. B.
