The Newspaper Editor.

The average Englishman has a clearer notion
of the habits of the octopus than Of those of an
editor, and he knows more of the interior Of
Africa and its tribes than of the interior of a
newspaper office. lie credits the editor with all
sins of omission and commission. 1t never seems
to ddwn upon his innocent mind that an eight
page newspaper like this-the product of one
day-contains more printed matter than many
standard books, and he would scarcely believe us
If we told him that much of its contents are at
breakfast time just as new to its editor as to its
readers. In his eyes the editor of daily journal
is a marvellous being possessed of more eyes
than Argus, more arms than Briareus, more feet
than a centipede, and more heads than John the
Baptist had when Catholic Europe was privileged
to possess several various heads of that one
martyr. 10 the majority of Englishmen such
an editor is a noun of multitude. He is supposed
to peryade his premises and to be in each of six
or seven various and distinct working DEPART
ments at the same time. This impossible Gre
AZURE, the popular ideal Of an editor, is thought
to see everything and direct everything. Some
there are who even seem to suspect that he either
writes or revises every line with his own hands,
after which he of course inspects the proofs. pre-
sides over the arrangement of the letter press in
columns, dictates what things shall have prOmi-
nence and what must wait, writes out the dav
bill, and then descends into the machine room for
the night and prints the paper. Is anything in
their journal which should have been left out, or
is anything LETT out which they wished or ex-

ton or a misprint-do they alight on an adver-
tisement of equivocal propriety-do they fail to
ind IN the correspondence column that admirable
and beautiful letter of theirs which was to make
the next issue at once memorable and priceless,
they discern therein n mark of design-suspect
the editor. No one room is thought capable of
containing all at once a live editor. The mira
culous animal is ubiquitous and most artful.
There is no such thing as the editors chair or
the editors room. 1t is believed of him that he
has a chair in every room in the office, and sits
in every room-a directing deity-at the same
instant of time. He needs no sleep. He has no
more business to leave his office in search of re-
creation or repose tLan have his steam engines
or his Hoes machines. And it is generally be-
lieved that his chief professional difficulty is to
every night matter sufficient to fill up his
columns. Such is the popular ideal of an editor
an ideal, evolved from the inner consciousness
Of a public which draws upon its Imagination
Tor its facts, and puts down everything, be it
good, bad. or Indifferent, to " the editor"

he marvellous one ~conjured up by the fine fancy

kept am accurate account of it. For seven
years he charged up half yearly Interest
on the amount paid in, at the rate OF siN

compromising interest.

A Wolf Boy.

Hon. J. NJ. FRANCIS, of the Troy Press,
while at Agra, in India, saw at the Church
Orphanage person known as the wolf
boy" He is now about twenty years old.
1.-The wolf boy" was taken away from a
wolf-captured in a VOLTS den at Bulands-
hahar, about eighty miles from here in the
interior-twelve years ago. He was then
fully eight years old, was found in COM
pany with the wolf and walking upon all
fours, and the animal evidently recog-
nized and protected him as one of her
own progeny. No doubt the boy had
been stolen and carried off by the wolf
when an infant, and was fed, cared for
and brought up in the wolfsh way by his
adopted mother. The boy is named
Saturday, that being the day he was
rescued from the wild animals den. AT
first raw meat was the food he most
relished; he was quite wild and intract-
able. Gradually he was tanned, trained to
walk properly, and subjected to other
necessary usages of human civilized lite.
But, beyond the expression of very few
words, language could not be impaired to
him. He is evidently halfidiotic, though
he understands commands addressed to
him, and makes known his own wants by
CALCULATIONS and signs. He makes his
salaams to strangers, and enjoys atten-
tons paid to him. He has by no means
unpleasant face, and there is not mark
of the beast about him except in the scar
prints of his mother wolf, which lie
points out upon his cheek. The case is a
curious one, and attracted not little at
tention at the time throughout the world.
1t was then supposed he possessed capaci-
ty for improvement and education, but
the efforts of years to teach him have met
with very little success.

Best Food for Swine,

What would be considered the best
food for swine in summer would not an
swer the same purpose in winter In
summer such food should be given as
would keep the animal in an improving
condition and would cause it to lay on a
little TAT, but not so much as to cause it
to suffer from the heat, as fat porker
undoubtedly does. Cooling foods, such
as plenty of young clover and bran and
middlings, is what we use much of, not
forgetting TO give regular and abundant
supplies of fresh, cool water. In putting
up swine for exhibition purposes we have
tried many different kinds of food for the
fall exhibitions, but have found none so
desirable as slop made of corn and oats
ground together, one-third of the former
by measure, to two-thirds of the latter.
One of the best ways to prepare it is to
scald it at night and feed next morning
put on the mass only enough hot water to
thoroughly moisten it, and then cover up
the barrel tight, so as it can steam well
and make the mass mellow and nice by
morning. If it is found undesirable to
scald it, mOisten the mass with water and
then put in one or more pans of sour milk
thick milk or clabber-to cause it to
sour by the time it is used. We use both
or either plan, and find them both good.
AS an ordinary summer feed we have
found this food to answer almost all pur
poses. though We do not feed so high as
when feeding the animals for exhibition
purposes, as experience has abundantly
proved that the breeding stock should not
be very fat, only in healthy growing
condition, to insure healthy, vigorous
offspring. The refuse from the truck
patcbes, such as tomatoes, cabbage, etc.,

The Virtue OF Plenty Of Sleep.

A MEDICAL friend says: "One man
may do with less sleep than another; but
as 4 general rule, if you want a clerk, a
lieutenant, a lawyer, a physician, lcgis-
lator, a judge, a president or pastor, do
not trust your interests to any man who
does not take on the average eight good
solid hours sleep out of the twenty four.
Whatever may be the reason for it, if he
does not give himself that, he will snap
some time just when you want him to be
strong"
Good, sweet, sound sleep, "Airy-light
from pure digestion Bred" is natures
true eye. opener, and for physical vigor is
the only sure tonic and preparation. Those
who pay court to Somnus are seldom
found in the halls of Bacchus. Glowing
cheeks and ambrosial locks are the gifts
of Hebe to those who love an early pillow.
To-morrow's labors demand the vigorous
life which comes from solid forgetfulness
and the dreamiest inactivity. Good sleep
cures sleepiness and sleepy-headedness.
Take your fill of the pure article, unadul-
teratcd with choral, or any OF the quiet
ing drugs distilled from poppy or man
dragora, or all the drowsy sirups of the

The Pumonic Syrup rpens the morbid matter
