One day a young woman came to her who had tried in turn to fill a place as shop-girl, seamstress, chambermaid, cook, hairdresser and patent medicine vender, and Had been discharged from all as inconmetent.

Youth's Com panion Qlnaham and other Waah Dresaea, Traveling It is the custom this summer to wear gingham dresses for traveling. For short journeys these are the most com fortable dresses used since buff and gray linen traveling dresses were universally worn. They are so easily cleansed after the journey by washing that they are not a source oi anxiety on the way; they are oi dark colors that are not con spicuous; and it greater warmth is needed, it is supplied by the traveling cloak of English homespun that has superseded the linen duster. Among me aarK quiet colors cnoscn the prefer ence is for stone blue, with grayish tinges, in checks of two shades of blue without any white, or rhe broken bars of blue on a white ground, or irregular stripes ot two or three blue shades, with pernaps some thread lines oi red or buff. 1 o make these look still darker, they are trimmed with bias bands of solid blue gingham sewed on the plaited or gathered flounces, and as a bordering ior me apron, oosque, collar, culU, and belt. The w'lite Hamburg work used to brighten blue gingham dresses that are meant for the house and street is too dressy for these plain traveling suits. When made in tho best manner, aud of ocotcn gmgnam, such dresses cost at the furnishing house from $12 to $17. The basques ure not lined, and are made with as few seams as possible. The neck is usually finished with a turned- over collar in Byron shape, or else ex tending lower on the bust in the notched dircctoire shape. Among ex pensive gingham are stripes of two shades ol peacock blue, or else of green mere are uiso onve green cnecKS or irregular plaids tli:.t make up most enectiveiy. ihe Diack and white broken oars are also in favor; for elderly Indies these are trimmed with plaitings of the same, while young ladies add some pip ings of Turkey red cadco, and thev also put a narrow red plaiting around the loot ot the skirt. For other wasli dresses, whether of gmguam or lawn, embroidery is the trimming preferred this season to lace J. he Hamburg work in open patterns, or else quite close, with dots, diamonds. almonds or stars, is best liked for gingham dresses; there is also a woven trimming called Swis3 embroidery, which is effective and very inexpen sive, costing only eight or ten cents a yard in widths suitable tor edgings. For thin dotted muslins realembr jidery on Swiss muslin is used, and is very different from that just described, and far.more costly. Very few embroideries are found suitable for the soft sheer mull and India muslins: hence lace is used for these dresses, and is almost con- fined to them, lor thin mulls, Lan- are most liked; Valenciennes is seldom employed, at least it is not bought irom choice, though ladies who have nice qualities 01 mis lacu continue to use it.

Extract! from a Speech IIlTred by Charles g, Fa.lrmana.tthe Annnat Meet In of the New York State Press As oelatlon In Troy, The face of a newspaper should be made bright and cheerful and it should have a distinct resemblance of its own. If you are acquainted with it you should he able to pick it out of a thousand. You should know it as you do your neighbor. This personal appearance should be a fixture. Of course the newspaper, like the man. must put on a new dress occasionally, but there should be no violent changes in attire. It should always present the same general appearance. I say you should know your news paper. It is difficult, doubtless, lor the unpracticed eye to tell one paper from another by merely looking at the face of the type. But the printer will do it. Of a hundred papers that he knows he will pick out any one he wants simply by a glance at its general contour, without looking at its head, or stopping to read a word it says. He will almost Land it to you in trie dark. He will do more than that. You may cut out a piece not more than two inches ion. anywhere from the .body of the taintv. He will swear to it in a court of justice with no more doubt orhesita tion than you would have in saying that you saw a train of cars standing at the depot yesterday. A bank teller will de nounoe a counterfeit as far as his eyes can see the paper. A shoemaker will pick out a pair of boots which he has made from a thousand others, all of which you would say were precisely alike. You can't deceive the tailor as tc who made the coat which is on your back. The small bov about the rnilrnnri depot, when he hears the whistle afar on, win ten you mat is jno. o Northern Central, There is an intuition about all these things which I do not pretend to fathom or explain.

Yet the enter prise oi man under the enlightening in fluence of the press has tunneled moun tains and bridged them with iron w that the newspaper might go on thp wings of tho wind to the uttermost. pans of the earth.

There was no soider-web net-work of mil. roads taking them up damp from the press, and scattering them through every city and hamlet at the breakiast hour. There were no lines of telegraph penetrating to every noOK and cornpr in the land, gathering every scrap of in formation, and concentrating it daily and nightly in the lap of the newspa per.

You cannot grind them out in heaps as you do doctors, or lawyers, or clergymen in ere is no college where they are taught. There is no curriculum for them to study. There are no professors oi newspapers. There are no diplomas and there am nn riprrpo for an editor Perhaps I should say that none of the oruiuary schools in which otner proles sions are taueht. answer for the news' paper. The hnat. unhooi is the nrintinir office. The best teacher is the click of tne type and the atmosphere of the com posingroom. The tact of an editor can not be taught at an academy. There are no books or masters to follow. Like the artist, the editor must have genius, and eenius is not borrowed or tauirht. But though you cannot teach editors in Bohools or academies, you can teach boys. And . s fter you have taught the boy in schook you may teach the editor in a printing office. But be careful not to insert him at the wrong end of the shop. Start him down among the roll ers and the lye brushes, and he will work bis way out to the sanctum. When he gets there he will know how to stay theie. But if you start him atthe sarc tum, the probabilities are that he will soon find himself in the cellar. It is one of the evils of our times that not only with regard to this, but equally wim regard to an trades and proiessioni the young men are unwilling to beei at the bottom. The grades of a printing office should be inexorable as the grades oi an army. There should be no re movals except for cause, and no pro motions except for merits. The history of the newspaper press proves the posi tion I here take. The best, the ablest and most successful editors this land has produced came up from the rule and the composing stick. I have known scores of tramping jour printers who had every qualification for brillian success in journalism, except the one of steady habits, men of wide learning, of osiu&uug gcuius, nuu uuuiuiaDaiu in tellect. And I never yet saw a strictly educated man who was fit for an editor. They are too starchy and stiff. They are too nice and precise. I hey are too learned and profound. A profound news paper would die in a week. Two things are certainly and equally iatai to i newspaper, ignorance and nrofnnditw But I think of the two it can stand igno rance the better, for there are a great many people who are ignorant, and very few who are profound. Danie 1 Webster once undertook to write an editorial for a newspaper. It was seven cp.umns long and solid with statesman Dijiu iuu nisuum. dul Liie euicor an vised him to ueliver it in Congress nnd let tne newspaper off. It sometimes happens that a schoolmaster out of job, or ambitious of fame, seeks laure and cash in tho editorial sanctum Ihese are the worst failures in tli whole lot. Thev invariably run out uieir tongues when thev write, usr ruled paper, dot all their i's, cross nil their t s, and parse every sentence be fore it goes to press. They are Jesigned to succeed better on monthly or quarterly publications, or those which. come cut onee n vpr than on the daily press. If anything is calculated to worry the pa uenue oi an editor, it is to see a school master laboring over a paragraph. Th erasures and interlineations, the stoo Pin? and starting, the tearings up and beginnings again, the consultations of the dictionary, the wise look at the wall the doubt about grammar, and the greater doubt about ideas, are fearful to DClioid. 1 state an exact truth when say that 1 have seen some of these edu cateu gentlemen spend two precious uours in trying to put a simple state ment in a paragraph of ten lines, and iau. a. surplus of grammar kills them urn yet me eauor must not iau in grammar.

There are possible exceptions, Dut tuey are rare, exceed ingly rare, nnd only prove the rn'p The shoemaker had better stick to his last, the schoolmaster to ins school nnH me eauor to ins sanctum. Ao man can be an editor who does not under stand all the detans of his business, i ie must be competent to fall any gap in anv place at any moment. He must know how to do all that is needed to be done on a newspaper. He must be able to write a leader or a paragraph at moment's notice, or without anv notinp at all.

Lightning and Oil Tanks. mi. . rt . t a . .. ine acieniinc American ihus com ments on the attraction of oil tanks for lightning, as evidenced in the recent fir at Titusvillc: The peculiar attraction for lightning which these iron oil tanks appear to possess has been several times referred to in our columns. Whenever a thun der-storm passes fairly over one of them it seems to be devoted to destruction. Millions ot dollars worth of property have thus been destroyed. No nracti. cal safeguard has vet been suggested. Ordinary buildings, when properly pro vided wun rods that are well grounded in the earth, are comparatively safe from lightning. Structures made of iron and simply resting upon the earth, without rod. are also exempt from elec trical damage. Such structures always present a continuous body oi conduct ing material ior tue tree passage ol elec tncity to earth. Whv is it then, that, oil tanks form such conspicuous ex ceptions to our common experience whh ngutningr uo.'.s put on other struc tures save them; but rods have been rut on oil tanks, but the tanks were ex ploded by lightning all the same. We will repeat a possible explanation whii-h we have heretofore given. Fioji everv oil tank, according to our theory, there is a constant escape oi light iiydrocar bon vapor, which forms a ceraianent ciouu or coiumn, rising to a general height above tho tanks, far above any rod that could be erected. This vapor rod is a conductor, which the lightning naturally follows, Bets on fire the vapor, and explodes the tank. A column of healeii air vapor rising from a chimney is weii Known to be a conductor lor lightning; tho rise of hydrocarbon vapors is illustrated by tho balloon. If the theory we have outlined is cor rect, the remedy for the electrical ex plosion of oil tanks is to be found in such treatment of the oi), or such a con struction of tank, as shall prevent any escape oi the light vapors. A firm of Scotch shipbuilders are said to hare established themselves at Shanghai, and are turning out iron steamers of the largest size. Ail of their 1.1' i.iuu workmen are Chinese, who labor few cents each per day.
