Dr. .llnrtyn Thin Us Thnt Sntnn Creeps Into Public Print. "The Devil in Ink," was the theme of Dr. Carlos Martyn's lecture In the Third United Presbyterian church last night, says the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Dr. Mnrtyn said: "Since this is the nge of printer's ink, the devil has Immmersed himself In the ink bottle. Certain newspapers are examples of this. The paper Is white, but the ink Is black in more senses than one. Notice the disproportionate ly largo space allotted to reports of murders, nrsons, burglaries, divorces nnd prize fights until horrors pass be fore tho reader as ghosts trooped in the nightmare of Richard III. on the eve of the battle Bosworth. The sheet reads lie a dally bulletin of tho pit. . "Our friends In the editorial rooms some times .tell us this Is news. Rut why print it? AVho is made the bet ter or the wiser by it? Does not the spreading of the nauseous details over columns and columns day after day demoralize tho public? What imagin able Importance attaches to squabbles in saloons, the deeds of profligates, tho opinions of criminals? If mentioned at all, why not merely mention these occurrences? AA'hy such startling headlines and sensational paragraphs? Wickedness is Infectious. Tho recital of it impels Imitators to go and do like wise. If it be a study in morbid anat omy better relegate it to the physi cians. "Why read unwholesome literature when thero Is so much that is whole, some? Read history, which Lord Ba con says makes men wise Read biog raphy, for there Is moral tonlo in it. Read only the best novels, which paint llfo in noble colors. 'A good book,' says Milton, 'Is the precious blood of a master spirit embalmed In order to llvo beyond life." Christian citizens should say to the devil in Ink, 'Come out;' " . THE CAKE OF WATCHES. How to ICcop Your Timc-Plcco Run ning in Good Order. Writing in the Popular Science News Georgo fielbel says: AVind your watch J regularly. That Is the first great rule for watch wearers. In tho morning is probably tho best time, so nn to have tho greatest tension of the spring dur ing the day, when tho works are most llnblo to shaking and hnrd usage. Have your watch cleaned and oiled regular ly. Tho delicate balance wheel mokes lHO.OOO.OOO vibrations during a year. Tho best oils will gum and clog whero there Is such continued friction. Keep your watch pocket clean. Don't let lint nnd fine dust accumulate in the corners. No matter how well tho cases may close, tho subtle dust will work its way through soon enough. Chlcfest of nil, curb your curiosity. Don't open tho cases and Inspect the works. They nro thero yet, even though you have not seen them since yesterday. It anything should occur to cnuso them to stop, don't try to find out yourself what it Is. A watchmaker will charge you nothing for an accurate diagnosis which Involves no possible further Injury, And don't try to regu late tho watch yourself. You may do it successfully, but the chances aro ngnlust you. In fact, the chances aro that the watch may not need regulat ing nt all. All watches, except the best, run faster In winter, slower In summer. Yet some men sot their watches with every clock they see, nnd move the regulator too, If they can pry tho cases ouen. If these few simple, common sensa rules wero observed, half tho watch makers could seek some other trade. AMERICANS IN LONDON. Why the Britishers Mark Them Out at Once as Soft Marks for Impost Hon in the Matter of Prices. Bnrron, in tho Times-Herald, Already the public places give evi dence that the Americans are arriving In town, and tho shopkeepers begin to shltio, expectant of increased profits. It has never been made perfectly clear to mo why It Is that English trades people, as well as keepers of lodging houses and proprietors of resorts, look upon visiting Americans as pigeons to bo plucked. That they do entertain this opinion there Is no mnnner of doubt, and yet tho American is not, generally speaking, a gullible race. Unquestionably, however, Americans pay more than any other class of visit ors, taken on nn average, for their flirtation with London, and got less vnlue for their money. This is not true of tho man whoso common sense is greater than ills vnnltv, nnd who has had some experience or travel; but the abuse to which our countrymen are so commonly subjected grows cut of the folly of tho individuals a. very numer ous claFS who wish to create the im pression that they have an abundance of money and need not limit themselves in its expenditure. The men and wo men who really have more money than they know what to do with, and Who think that an amateur lavlshness Is Indicative of n character nobly gen erous, arc comparatively few, and per haps do not. greatly disturb the bal ance between value and receipt, SPLURGERS. The would-be imitators of tlhs small set are legion, and It Is through the ridiculous pretentiousness of this army of persons who come to Europe to cut a dash for a brief time that tho English misconception of American Intelligence and Judgment has come about. A pe culiarity of the tourist who belongs to the class of splurgers is a sort of help less shamefacedness in dealing with tho shopkeepers, waiters, cads and servants with whom he comes so fre quently Into contact, nnd who olay most successfully upon his vanity through a deference to which he Is lit tle used. It Is tho deference of a frigid ly polite reserve which Feems nt once to confess nnd challenge tho superior ity of the visitor. Your Frenchman or Italian In like circumstances would be effusively, almost obsequiously. Insist ent, annoying you with the excess of his conciliatory attention. Your Eng lishman has a mnnner toward you that seems to say: "There Is no use of my wasting many words; it is evident that you aro a gentleman of means nnd ex perience, and you know perfectly well the character and vnlue of the articles I am showing you. They are extreme ly smart, nnd you cannot duplicate them for the price anywhere else In London." His purpose Is to make you think that ho knows you to be a man of consequence, nnd that all his shop ping experience has been confined to men of that stamp. AN EXPERIENCE. If you have sufficient force of charac ter to dissent from him he will, with out saying a word, make you waver In your opinion that you have ncted quite up to the standard of tho well-equipped man of the world; and it Is before this Indefinable authority of presence that nine out of ten unsophisticated Ameri cans go down to defeat and end by pay ing a third more than a Londoner would be asked to pay. The incertitude of the novice and the American ac cent are Insidious betrayers of the purse In London. A week ago a lady from New York arrived in town, and tho next day went to look at a suite of rooms In Dover street. She was pleased with It and asked the price per week. "Seven guineas," was the prompt and decisive nnswer. Tho lady turned a benignant look upon the man and said, with an engaging smile: "Yes, I admit that I am an American, but this Is not my first visit to London. AVhat is your lowest price?" Ten minutes later the lady had secured the rooms for two and a half guineas. Chicago Live Stork. Chicago, April 28.
