JOURNALISTIC SUPPORT.


The tale goes that she is the mistress of
one of the writers of the Gaulois. and that
the striking experiences she is reputed to
have had have proceeded from his lips and
pen. This is quite probable. 1t is hard
tor an actress to have any great success
here, that is, in any REASONABLE time, UNI
less she have some clever fe%uilletonist at
her back to introduce her to the public by
constant and ingenious advertisement.
Such feuilletonist is naturally-here one
might say necessarily-her lover; and in
this relation, looking upon her with the eye
OF pride, affection and passion, he has no
trouble in seeing in her all that he describes.
His fondness for her gives glow to his pen, a
stimulus to his fancy, a zeal to his endeavor.
There is no mechanical or mercenary putting
in his case. He imagines what he sees. and
sees what he imagines. Persuaded through
his sympathies of the greatness of the wo-
man he gloriies, he is enabled to persuade
others. What a magnificent and terrible
creature is, if one-quarter of
what is told of her be true. She has fasci-
mated dozens OF meD-soldie1s, poets, artists.
sages. She has had a hundred narrow es-
capes from death, each one of them pictur-
esque, fearful, thrilling. She has been a shop
girl, a ~vivandiere, a ballot dancer, a duelist.

has a secret for concocting and mixing the

things, she is certain to be the center of in

feuilletonist lover of ~Tallandeira is doing

PRooF-READING.-Few persons out
side OF printing offices know the i'm
portance of " pro0f-reading" that is the
careful revision of the type after it is set
up, for the purpose of removing wrong
letters, etc. For instance, a miserably
scrawled marriage notice is handed in,
which ought to read as follows: MAR
ried-August /, A. Conkey, attorney-at-
law, to Euphema Virgins.
Love is the union of two hearts that beat In
softest melody,
TIM with its rayages imports no bitter fusion
to its estaey.'"
The notice is handed to the compost
tor or type-setter, whose rapid fingers
fly among the type boxes for a brief
space. A proof or first print is then
taken Of the types, and the proof-reader
has the following version before him !:
"Married-April ], Al. Donkey, externally
at law, to E%uphunia Piggins.
: Jove is an onion with two heads that beat in
softest melody,
Time with its eahbages impart no better food
to q extra dray,''
The proof is then handed back to the
compOsitor to be corrected. ID is taken
out Of COnkey and q CO is inserted /;
=" eternallyn is altered to attorney
and so on until the whole paragraph is
in proper shape for the public eye,

The STRUGGLE FOR GENTILITY.-In
all Our great cities the rush for mental
labor and sedentary pursuits, with the
view to avoid manual toll, is tremend-
Gus. At whatever cost of self abase-
ment, the glittering bauble of gentility
is sought for by American-bO born young
men, so that it may not be said, "He is
only a mechanic" They forget, or have
v been taught, that the greatest men
of the age have sprung from the work
ingmen. Eventual success in early. life
is a question of brains, not position. Let
those in search of clerkships and other
similar situations remember this great
truth. Why should the badge of serf-
dom be assumed by those who choose to
work where they are not really needed,
in preference to where they are? By
such Il course, nobility of soul is sacri-
feed, and a recOmpense, at starvation
rates, is accepted, in order that the sniv-
cling mendicant may have the world
say that he is engaged in a respectable
vocati0n-One that exempts him from
manual labor. Shame on such a false
standard of public opinion!
The trouble is that more persons in
sist upon living by commercial pursuits,
literary, or in some other way that in
wolves but little manual effort, than can
possibly find employment. They can
only find it by taking it from some one
else. Many succumb to the worst form
of vice, under the pressure of absolute
want. They run into temptation and
make that temptation an excuse for
pauperism and crime. Let the young
men of this land getan education If they
can, but by all means let them learn q
trade.@ American ArtiZan.

DEATH OF THE ORIGINAL "ARKAEsAS
TRAvELER.-Yesterday afternoon our
city was shocked over the news of the
death of Col. Sandy Faulkner, who died
at his residence, on the corner of Com
merce and Fifth streets, at 8 o'clock, of
gastric fever.
It is we'll known throughout the South
west that Col. Faulkner was the Origi-
nal personatOr of the Arkansas TRAY
eler," and it was bis pride to be known
as such. The story, it is said, was found
ed on a little incident which occurred in
the campaign OF 1910, when he made
the tOur of the state in company with
the Hon. A. Il. Sewer, Gov. Fulton,
Chester Ashley and Gov. Yell. One day,
in the Boston mountains, the party ap-
preached a sQuatter's for information
of the route, and Col. SANDY" was
made spokesman of the company, and it
was upon his witty responses the tune
and story were founded. On the return
to Little Rock a grand banquet was
given in the famous bar-rOom" which
used to stand near the Anthony House,
and Col. "Sandy" was called on to play
the tune and tell the story. Afterward
it grew in popularity. When he subse-
quently went to New Orleans, the fame
Of the Arkansas Traveller" had gone
before him, and at banquet amid clink
ing glasses and brilliant tOasts, he was
handed a violin by the then Governor
of Louisiana, and requested to favor
them with the favorite Arkansas tune.
At the old St. Charles hotel a special
was devoted to his use, bearing in
gilt letters over the door Arkansas
Traveller ."--[Little Rock Gazette.

The Source of Many EIls.-f all the all
ments, bodily and mental, which torment the
human family could be traced to their primary
sources, it would probably be found that three
fourths of them originated in the failure of the
stomach and the other organs by which the food
is converted into nutriment and applied TO the
purposes of life, to perform the tasks allotted to
them by nature, vigorously and regularly. This
being the case the vast importance of a medi-
cine which compe1s these organs to do their
whole duty, thoroughly and efficiently, becomes
at once apparent. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
may be truly characterized as a preparation of
this kind, indeed as the only one which can be
implicitly relied on as combining the properties
of a stOmachic, and Alternative and an aperient
In such proportions as to produce simultaneous
ly the desired effect upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and intestines. This conclusion is
warranted by the CELEBRITY and certainty with
which the BitterB afford relief in chronic cases
If dyspepsia, torpidity of the liver and constipa-
ton. The false idea that these complaints and
others that grow out of them, could be cured by
fierce catharties, has at last, it IL hoped, been
thoroughly exploded. The sick, during the last
hundred years have swallowed thousands of
tons OF mercury, scammOny, gambOge, crOton
oil, jalap, etc, and tens Of thousands of graves
ever since the principle Of renovation, as en-
bodied in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, was ar
rayed against the principle of prOstration, as
represented by mineral salivants and furious
purgatives, the latter has steadily and surely
fallen into deserved contempt. The outcry
against stimulation by which concoctors of de-
plotting drenches hoped to give ectdt to their dis
gusting and dangerous compounds has only
served to increase the demand for the whole
some stimulant, tonic and Alternative which for
twenty-five years triumphed over all opposition
and is now the most popular medicine in the
Western hemisphere.

DRY METHOD OF CLEANING SoILED
FABRICs.-Great progress has been made
of late years in the method of cleaning
soiled articles of dress, by removing tar,
grease, ETC., from wool and other raw
material, this, as it appears, being &C
complished best by the so-called dry
method rather than by the use of a wa
terry solution Of soap or other alkaline
substance. This originally consisted in
suhjecting the articles in a proper ap-
paratus to immersion in benzine, gaso-
line, bisulpbite of carbon, ETC., with con-
tinued rotation of the apparatus. More
recently, however, it has been ascertain
ed that the vapor of these substances,
themselves, the articles thus treated be-
ing much more rapidly penetrated, and
more thoroughly, than in the old way.
The articles are placed upon a grating
over the liquid, the vapor from which
permeates them completely as it is car
ried over the reservoir, where it is con-
densed and collected. In this form it
contains grease in solution, which may
be removed by a second distillation,
while the hydro-carbon is obtained in q
form for further use.-[Harper's Maya

MEDICAL PROPERTY OF EGGs.-The
white of an egg has proved of late the
most e~fficaci0us remedy for burns. Sew

substance soOthes pain and effectually
excludes the burnt parts from the air.
This simple remedy seems preferable to
calodiOn or even cotton.

DESTRUCTION OF LIFE BY WAR.-An-
other souTce OF %pecuniary loss is found
in the acaSte of life by rdT. 1t takes men
at the very age when their labor would
be most productive, and shortens their
lives more than twenty yearsin war and
some ten or fifteen in peace. The sta
tistics of mortality among men devoted
to this work OF blood, are truly startling.
Soldiers, though generally young and
vigorous, live on an average only about
three years in war, and die even in peace
twice as fast as galley slaves, and more
rapidly than men ordinarily do at fifty
and sixty.
What q loss Of property is here. Let
us suppose it costs on an average $500
to raise a soldier, and reckon his labor
for say ten years of his life shortened
by war at $3.50 a year. The standing
armies Of Europe number about 5,000,-
900 of men, so that she Sustains at this
rate a loss of 3d. SOC, 0OO, 900 for the ir train
ing, $3.50, 100000 year for labor, or ST.
500,000,000 i'll ten years, and the same
amount for shortening their lives ten
years, making 81, 1000, 1000, OF 81, $780,
100000 yearly, even in time of peace.

LIVE WITHIN Your MEANs.-We
don't like stinginess. w don't like
economy, when it comes down to rags
with the notion that a poor man should
hitch himself to a post and stand still,
while the rest Of the world moves for
ward. It is no mans duty to deny him
self every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comfort, that he
may get rich. 1t is no mans duty to
make an iceberg of himself, to shut his
eyes and ears to the sutferings of his
fellows, and deny himself the enjoyment
that results from generous actions, mere
ly that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about. But there is an econ
Omy which is every mans duty, and
which is especially cOmmendable in the
man who struggles with pOverty-an
economy which is consistent with hap
piness, and which must be practiced if
the poor man would secure independ-
ence. Itisalmoste every mans privilege,
and it becomes his duty, to live within
his means; not up to, but within them.
Wealth does not make the man. we ad-
NIT, and should never be taken into the
account in our Judgment of men, but
competence should always be secured,
when it can be, by the practice of econ
omy and s~elf-denial to only q tolerable
extent. 1t should be secured, not so
much for others to look upon, or to raise
us in the estimation Of others, as to Sc
cure the consciousness of independence
and the constant satisfaction which is
derived from it's requirement and pos

The Law of b
DECISION BY JUDGE ALLISON

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ~14.-JudGe Ali
son in charging the jury in the Reading
Eagle libel suit said: "Can an article
containing the foul aspersion upon the
character of a citizen be considered pro-
per for public information, even if all
the charges contained in the article are
true? 1t might be then questioned
whether such private matters We're i'm
proper for public information. This be-
ing admitted by q false article in the
constitution relating to privileged pub
locations, had no application to the
present case. The question then reverts
TO whether defendants had published a
malicious libel. They were to Judge Of
malice from the paper itself, and not to
seek for any expressed malice. They
must Judge whether the article was cal
culated to hold Mr.. Ross up to ridicule,
odium or disgrace, and he instructed
them that the law in libellOus publica-
ton presumed malice if it is proved that
the publisher meant to do what he did
do. The old law is not affected by the
new constitution in its application to a
case of this kind, and defendants were
entitled to prove the truth of it; but
they must stand or fall upon the defence
they select; the defence set up want of
actual or legal motive. 1t seems that
neither of the defendants knew any
thing about the article until afterward.
The jury, after being out afcw minutes,
returned with a verdict OF guilty.
