SENSATIONAL NEwsGATnERERS.

BENSATlONAG NEWSGATHERE II
The Alta has an article inveighing
against the unreliable nature of all
news sent hither regarding the Eu-
ropean war. 1t thinks if anybody
would take the trouble to look back
owe tho dispatches for the last two
weeks, he would find, on an average,
daily, five paragraphs that are not
only devoid of truth, but that had NO
origin save the imagination OF a jour
a ,listic or Geographic newsgatherer.
The principle seems to prevail
that . startling lie is better
than q confession that there is
no news. 1t looks as If the
intelligent contraband is badly beaten
by his European rivals. In the COM
plex relations, sympathies, animosities
and interests OF European nations
there Is q wider field for fiction, and il
will not be left unharvested. Besides
the motive of supplying the news mar
ket, the desire Of affecting the prices o.
national bonds and stimulation Of
national feelings are potent infn
ences in favor Of the fabrication
OF false reports. The world Is full
or people who enjoy the publication Of
. statement that their frien DIS have
won and their enemies lost, ever
though they know that 1t will the mex
dav be exposed as without the least
foundation. So goes the world
Lying is sometimes raised to the dig
nifty of q fine art, and many people
think, though enormously, that they
have Q genius to excel In It.

It Is remarkable that in the
present contest in Europe the parties
engaged in it are W of its three
semi barbarous nations Russia, Tur.
key and Greece. Russi., q power no
more civilized than Turkey, declares
al diplomatic intervention exhausted,
and hurries into war that impcrils the
peace of all other European nations
Turkey never objected to the interior.

where Russia was concerned, Of whose
aggressiveness she was in constant
fear. II tho Ottoman Empire be-
comes destroyed by power
having no more civilization and
vastly less honesty than itself, it will
bs centuries before orderly govern
ment can be established in the East.
1t will prove as substituting Crazy
Horse tor Sitting Bull on our western
plains.
The sentimental possession of the
Church of st. Sophia is to Russians an
object no less sacred than was the
Holy Sepulchre to the subjects OF
Cpur De Leon and st. Louis. The
sight of the Crescent banner of the
Turks forever enrages and inf1ames
the hate of that untrustworthy and
eminently aggressive Power. Rus
sian diplomacy has been un-
scrupulous, hesitating not to repu-
diate solemn and positive promises:
consequently, their words and pledges
must 90 for absolutely nothing. The
illogical antipathies, combined with
Russian fisrceness aud luminosity, have
robbed that people of all chivalric
sympathy, or they would never Lave

tionaiely weak a Power. With Tur-
KEY, as y camp in which to drill her

q. the old, old clock, OF the household stock,
Was the brightest thing and neatesti

And its chimes rang still the sweetest =
Twas monitor, too though It's words were lew
Yet they lived, though nations altered
And its voice still strong, warned old ana young
When ihe voice OF friendship iatercd.
"Tick. tick 1t said-"quick, quick 10 oedi
For ten I've given warning
Up mp, and go, or else, you know,
You'll never rise soon m the morning."
A friendly voice was that old. old clock,
As ii stood in Che corner smiling;
And hlessed the time with merry chime,
The winter hours beguillng;
Rut = cross old voice WAS that tlresOme CLOCK
As II called at the daybreak boldly,
When the dawn looked gray on the misty way,
And the early air blew coldly,
.sTick tick, IL said -"quick out of bed,
For five I've given warning;
You'll never have health, you'll never get wealth
Unless you're up soon in The morning"
Still hourly the clock goes round and round,
With a tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for bright days fed,
And the old friends lost forever;
Its heart beats on, though hearts are gone
Thai warmer beat ana younger;
Its hands still move, though hands we love,
Are clasped on earth no longer
"Tlck, tickv it said-"to the churchyard bed,
The grave hath given warning:
Up, up, and rise, and LOOK to the skies,
And prepare for the heavenly morning"

DIR. John Wyeth is entitled to the
gratitude of all who are afflicted with
the habit of snoring, for the simple de-
vice be has contrived to counterfeit the
vile tendency. The apparatus j. de-
scribed by him in the Popular Science
Monthly, and an explanation IL at the
same time given Of the cause Of snoring.
In the act Of breathing, the air may
travel to and from the lungs through
the channels Of the mouth or the nose.
Both channels unite in common cavity
just below the soft palate or bone form
ing the roof Of the mouth and the floor
of the nose. The other end Of the soft
palate hangs loose, and is moved by the
currents of mir passing in and out Of the
ungs, rs window-curtain Is Tapped by
a breeze. If the air passes through the
nose alone, the end Of the palate is
pressed gently down upon the tongue
50 as to lessen the movement or vibra-
ton, and no sound is heard. But, If
the mouth as well as the nose be open,
so that two currents Of air pass in and
out together during the acts Of breath
ing, the soft palate Is thrown into rapid
and sonorous vibration, and what we
call snoring Is the result.
II follows that the remedy for snoring
il to keep the mouth shut, and admit air
10 the lungs only through the channel
Of the nose. This can be effected by
means Of simple cap fitting the head
snugly, and united by an elastic band,
near the ear on each side, to a cap Of
soft material fitting the chin.
