One OF the most important lessons that can
be learned in this life is rdiue Of time. Time is
the very medium through which wisdom is ac-

is but detracting from what We might be.
Human life is at most, but little span and
the application Of each moment tells upon the
character and destiny Of every man. History
records that the ancient Philosophers and Sages
studied SO assiduously that they scarcely had
time to change their linen though it were
drenehed through with their sweat.

ayocaton or profession, impress his mind with

Is this change in the politics of Virginia t,
be regretted? We answer No. So far from
our regretting it, we consider it one Of the mos
hopeful signs of the time, that the political ac
tion of the State will not, ss heretofore, b
guided by small ring, to whose long domina
zion the State may look in vain for any benefit

cordially approve of, and recommend, the NOM
nations for State officers made by the Con-
servative Convention in Richmond. The
gentlemen named for the different Offices are
able, worthy, excellent citizens men of high
character, of integrity, honor, and patriotism
men such as the State in its palmy davs might
be well content to have at the head of affairs

Editorial, or what is known as "leadlng ar
ticle' In newspaper or magazine, was unknown
IN the early history of the press, and was intro
duced from necessity, rather than for improve
lnent. MIR. Macaulay states that it seldom ap-
peared, even after the censorship of the press
expired in 1905, unless there was a want of
news! When there was scarcity of intell-
gence, and when consequently, it was difficult
to fill up the paper, then the editor supplied
leading article And judging from the quality
of many of the leading articles" in the ''Iive
newspapers, > the papers that ''call things BY
their right name, - and all that sort of trash,
we should say they continue to be used merely
to ill up-certainly not for merit or usefulness.

We clip the following from an exchange. 1t
contains some valuable hints:
We like to have people visit our Office but
like to have their calls few apd far between and
of short duration,
Be sure and commence whstling q grand
march with great gusto and keep it up with va
riations during your stay. This will give you
an opportunity to find out what profanity COM
positors are capable of on trying occasions
After asking the Foreman whether the daily
edition is printed weekly, whether the tri-
weekly is printed three Zines aweek, and how
many men are employed-be sure and examine
the contents of the copy HOOK and make rum
ming comments on the articles thereon. This
| will give the printers an idea Of yoHr literary
cspScitg.

how much wages he receives, if it is hard work
and if SO what makes him follow it. This will
| be a diversion for him from the dull munetony
of his every day life.
You should criticise the newspaper, and if
you should happen to see letter turned, mag
nifty its results and be sure and show your ex
traordinary facility for orthography, to the ed
itor. Should it happen, that luck placed you
in printing office IN youth. cub be sure to
see that there are not too many rollers working
on the power press, and tell the editor of the
superior work that might be done with less :;
this will make him believe you are a printer,
and perhaps he may ask you to take charge of
| the concern.
Enally-Should you h4ppep 10 find any type

Heaven.
A living diving says: when was boy,

How TO CATCH RATs.-For catch

uer wo recommend tho following:
Cover common barrel with stiff,
stout paper, tying tho odgo around
the barrel; place board 30 that tho
rats may havo oasy access TO the
top; sprinkle eheoso paripgs CIR other
"iccd" for the rats on the paper for
several days, until they begin TO be-
gin TO believe they have right 10
their daily rations from. this source.
Then place in the bottom of tho bar
rel piccc Of rock about six or sovon
inches high, filling with water until
only enough Of it projects above tho
wutor for ono rat to lodge upon
Now replace tho paper, first cutting
Z cross in tho middle, and tho frs,
rat that comes on tho barrel top goo
through into tho water and climbs Oh
the rock. The paper comes back T.
place and the second rat follows tn
. first. TAcn begins fight for TIL
possession Of the dry place ON tn
stone, tho noiso Of which attracts til
