Editing a Paper.

Editing a paper is nice business. If we
publish jokes people will say we are rattlehead-
ed If we omit jokes they say we are an old
fossil. five publish original matter they damn
US for not giving selections. If we publish
selections folks say we are lazy for not writing
something they had not read in some othe-
paper. five give man complimentary nor
tice we censured for being partial. If we
do not give complimentary notices folks say
we are hog. If we insert articles that please
the ladies the men are jealous. If we do not
cater to the wishes of the ladies the paper is
not fiji 10 make hustle. If we speak we'll of
the acts of the President folks say we dare not
do otherwise. five censure them we are call
ed a traitor. If we remain in our office and
attend to our business folks say We are too
proud to mngle with our fellows. If we go
out they say We never attend to our business.
If we do not pay our bills promptly folks say
we are not TO be trusted. If we do pay prompt
~ folks say we stole the money. If we wear
poor clothes folks say business is bad. If we
wear good clothes they say We never paid for
them. Now, what are We TO do? Some may
say We stole this item from some other paper :;
and so We did.

Vesper Bells.

To the traveller in Spanish America III
striking of the vesper bells exercises po-
tent charm. AS the usage requires every
one to halt, no matter where it may be, at
the first stroke of the bell, to interrupt his
conversation, however important and list
EN- without stirring until the conclusion of
the chime, the singularity of a whole pop
ulation surprised in a moment as it comes
and goes, held in state of petrifcation.
and paralyzed as if by an encounter, may
be imagined On every side you see ges-
lures interrupted, mouths half open for
the arrested remark, smiles lingering or
passing into an expression of prayer; you
would fancy them a nation of statues. A
town in South America at the tinkle of
the Angelus resembles city in the sara
bian Nights whose inhabitants are
turned into stones. The magician here is
the bell-ringer; but hardly has the vibra-
t;on ceased when universal murmer arises
from these thousands of oppressed lungs.
Hands meet hands, questions seek an
swers, conversations resume their course;
horses feel the loosened bride and paw
the ground; dogs bark, babies cry, the
fathers sing, the mothers chatter The ac-
cidental turns thus given to conversation
are many.

being competent man,-will take his
child by the hand and lead him from the
swamps Of literature, where day school
reading books and Sunday school library
books have placed him anil where the me-
phitic vapors and noxious exhalations are
stupefying his intellect, to the higher
ground of literature where the air is pure
and bracing and rigorous.
The defects of poor arithmetic may be
remedied by good teacher; a competent
teacher can correct the errors of an incor-
rect geography or history; live teacher
can put life and animation into dead,
dull, heavy grammar the best, the wisest,

to healthy mental food the heterogeneous
mass of scraps that compose our school

Something for the Children.

One of the greatest pleasures which 81. NIcho-
las brings to its readers, is certainly the month
ly chapters of Miss Alcott's story This time
we catch delightful glimpse of the Eight
Cousins at home and in the very midst of the
confusion and riot produced by the return of
their sailor-uncle. Just as interesting also is
the sight of Rose in her new fancy-costume
and the peep with her into that curious room
never before explored, where she makes great
discovery.
Bnt Rose is not the only character in the
March number who meets with a remarkable
surprise, for in Mr.. Trowbridge's serial the
Young Surveyor is as completely astouished by
finding his stolen horse when and where he
does. If ever there was an ingenious horse
thief. the fellow who captured .ssnowfoot"
was he! 1t is a proof of his cunning. that Jack
after all his efforts TO find the missing animal
and after his search has been at last so stranr-
ly rewarded, is not yet ''out of the woods, :"
and seems to be threatened with another unex-
peced adventure.
Almost all the boys and girls like narratives
of wars and battles, and they will find story
of this sort in the poem called 1.-The War ut
the Rats and Mice" which is every whit us
thrilling in its way as the deeds of any favor
ie hero from Richard C9ur-de-Loin to Jack
the Giant Killer. The illustrations by Stephens
are admirable; one of them, a true ''battle-
piece" representing a tournament both excit-
ing and novel.
As for the rest of the number, we have sew
eral excellent stories by Frank r. Stockton,
Amale La Forge and others, sketches OF travel
and science with illustrations, an article by

Washed Overheard at Sea.

On Wednesday of last week, the second day
sat from New York of the steamship Cleo
patra, sailor was washed overheard. The
wind was blowing hard and the sea was
pretty rough at the time, and while turning
ahe jib sheet he was suddenly washed over
board He held on to the rope after being
pulled off the deck, and while it was fspping
in the wind, as long as he could, but finally
let go and fell into the water. As soon as the
cry of "man overheard" was heard, Capt
Buckley stopped the steamer and had the boat
lowered and manned
The crew in the boat were unable to'see the
unfortunate man in the water aud had to act
under the Captains orders, who remained on
ahe deck of the steamer, where he could see.
The body was recovered in an unconscious
state within eight minutes from the time Of
the accident. After being brought aboard
ahe steamer every one supposed he was dead;
but Capt. Buckley applied various restora-
dives, and after awhile he began to revive.
He was in a very critical condition when the
steamer arrived on Saturday, but is rapidly
recovering. Much praise is awarded Capt.
Buckley, 10 whom the man is undoubtedly in
alebted Tor his life, for the promptness and
Judgment displayed on the occasion.

March, 1915, when the violets had indeed re-

ahenceforth continued the Napoleonic flower;
and during the Bourbon asce tendency it was
dangerous to wear one in public, its old sig

The revival, in greater force than ever, in
connection with the late Emperor-as mani
tested at his funeral and at the mausoleum at
8hiselhurst, which is sometimes almost hid
den by violets-is, no doubt, chiefly due to
Tradition Its popularity, however. was pro-
badly enhanced by an incident which hap
pened at the time of the late Emperor's escape
from the Fortress of Ham. A packet of vic.
let plants having arrived by diligence, the
keeper was directed by DR.. Conneau to plant
ahem in pots, and while his attention was
ahus occupied, the escape was effected. 1t is
stated that the annual sale of violets in Paris
exceeds 5000, 900 punches, realizing sum Of
