About Editors.

Every editor loves TO have his friends.
and particularly his readers, call on him.
They belong TO the same family, rs it
were But when you call to see the
editor don't stay too long. Editors are
generally very busy in business hours.
If you have any suggestions TO make
or news to communicate, state it in as
few words as possible. Don't offer any
excuses or indulge in long preface to
what you have to say. Blurt il right
out tell the editor you wish him well,
and bid him good-day. Editors dote
on such men as that they love to re.
ceive calls from them. Don't argue
with them don't try to do it s.; he has
no time for argument while at his work.
When you write to an editor for pub
LEGATION, make IL short-boil il down.
Pitch right into the middle of your sub.
iect, and be sure to stop writing when
You are through. Editors always like
something fresh and original in the way
of communications, and are especially
fond OF news. But the editor must al
ways he the iudge.of what is worthy of
publication. OF course every writer
thinks his own production the best,
just as every mother thinks her baby
the prettiest that ever was born. But
the editor may be so stupid as to have
different opinion. II so, il can't be
helped. Don't try TO argue him ont of
his notion. II he is too stupid to ap-
preciate good thing, you can't expect
to remedy his dullness. You may think
You are good deal smarter than the
editor, and that may be true, but the
editor may be responsible and you are
not. There is no class of people 30
covetous Of the good opinion Of others.
II is well TO remember that fact--Prinf-

The Magnetic Poles.

The reason why the needle points in
the northcrly direction is that the earth in
itself is n magnet, attracting the mag
nctic needle "a ordinary magnets do.
and the earth is a magnet as the result
OF certain cosmical facts, much affected
by the action OF the sun. The laws have
pcriodicities. all OF which have not as
yet been determined. The Inherent and
ultimate reason Of the existence cf any
fact in nature, as gravity, light, heat,
etc, is not known further than that II is
in harmony with, and the direct result
ant Of, the action Of forces existing
under general laws. A condensed ex-
planation in regard to the needle point
ing to the northward and southwark is
as follows: The magnetic poles OF the
earth do not coincide with the gcograph-
ical poles. The axis Of rotation makes
an angle of about twenty-thrce degrees
with line joint to the former. Tho
northern magnetic pole is present near
the Arctic circle ON the meridian of
Omaha. Hence the needle does not
everywhere point to the astronomical
north, and is constantly variable within
certain limits. At San Francisco it
points about seventeen degrees to the
east Of north. and at Calais, Maine, as
much TO the west At the northern mag.
netic pole balanced needle points with
Is TIA ends downward in plumb
line; at San Francisco it dips about six
ty-three degrees, and at the southern
magnetic pole to the south and points
directly down. The action Of the earth
upon a magnetic needle at its surface is
of about the same force az that of hard
steel magnet forty inches long, strongly
magnetized, at distance Of one foot.
The foregoing is the accepted explana-
tion of the fact that the needle points
to the northward and southward. OF
course, no ultimate reason can be given
for this natural effect. any more than for
any other observed fact in nature.-Sda

black thread lace fall forward on the
hair the bonnet itself is made of straw
drops beaded with gold; the wide satin
merveilleux strings are of many shades
of yellow. Gilt beads arc introduced
in many of tho laco straw bonnets, and
rcd is the favorite color for lining these
transparent open-worked straws. Real
gilt buttercpps in clusters are pretty on
the Spanish-looking hats. The most
simple way of using lace scarf for
strings is to form ono loop behind of
one end, and have but one string, which
is brought from the left side under tho
chin, around to the back, and passed
through this loop. Tho shaded net seen
in the shops is u very effective trimming
for black chip pokes, being put care
lessly across the top, and used as strings.
Flower bonnets arc represented this
season by crushed rose crowns, with a
wreath on the edge of the brim, and
the spaces between covered by scarfs of
dAurillac lace; the pale coral pink and
salmon roses are very pretty in these
dressy bonnets, which are usually Of
medium size. The yellow-green shades
that are sometimes called mustard and
sometimes olive, are shown III velvet
and thin plush for strings this quaint
color is used with black blonde lace,
and is as new as the silver lace with

Bombs that Killed The Gar.

Alexander II. was killed by Orsini
bombs. These destructive shells are
very dangerous, not only on account Of
the quantity Of fragments they scatter
abopt on exploding, but also on ac-
count of their special construction,
which renders them explosibIe at the
least shock. AZ the time of OrSini's at
tempt against the life Of Napoleon Ill
one Of the conspirators had his arm
blown off by one Of the bombs he was
holding in his hand. These bombs are
of spherical or ellipsoidaI form. In the
first shape they are covered all over
with caps in the other, the basis of the
shell being heavier than the other parts,
the proiectile thrown in the air always
falls on the same end where the caps
are, and the explosion takes place.

One Of the maxims in millinery this
spring is that all trimmings are placed
low, yet there are bonnets that give
high effect, for the faces that need Il.
by the use Of full wreaths and side pom
pOns with erect aigrettes, or by the
long-looped bows on top. Among the
novelties is the Tuscan lace made OF
straw as fine "a thread; this is put ON
for trimming, and there are crowns and
whole bonnets made Of it: such crowns
are not lined, leaving the back trans
parent to display handsome coiffu re,
while the brim has shirred surah inside.
There are also imported bonnets for

long ostrich plumes shaded through one

hhFFtigf hhu SUBMARINES
The following letter accompanied a
present of a pair Of stockings to a young
bride:
DEAR CoUsS Herewith you will
receive q present of pair of wooden
stockings, knit by my own hands; and
be assured, dear COZ, that my friendship
for you is rs warm as the material, active
as the finger work, and generous as the
donation. But / consider this the
occasion OF your marriage. You will
remark in the first place that there are
two individuals united in one pair, who
are to walk side by side, guarding
against coldness, and giving comfort a.
long as they last. The thread Of their
texture is mixed, and so, alas is the
thread of life. In these, however, the
white prcdominates, expressing my
desire and confidence that thus it will
be with the color of our existence. No
black is used; for | believe your lives
will be wholly free from the black
passions Of wrath and jealousy. The
darkest color here is blue which is
excellent, where We do not mako it too
blue.
Other appropriate thoughts rise to
my mind regarding these stockings.
You will perceive that the tops Of these
stockings (by which l suppose court,
ship to be reprcsented) is scanned, and
10y means of scanning are drawn into
snarl hut afterward comes a time when
the whole is made plain, and continues
so to the end and final toeing Off By
this, / wish you TO take occasion to con
gratulate yourself that vou are now
through with scanning and have como to
plain reality. Again, as the whole Of
these comely stockings we're not made
at once, but by the addition Of one little
stitch after another, put IN with akill and
discretion, until the whole presents
fair, equal piece Of work you see, SO life
does not consist of one great action but
millions OF little ones combined; and 80
may it be with you. No stitch dropped
where duties are to be performed
widening made where bad principles
are to be rcprovcd or economy pre-
served neither scanning nor narrowing
where truth and generosity are in qucs-
tion. Thus every stitch Of life is made
right and set in the right place-none
either too large or too small, too tight
or too loose thus You may keep on your
smooth and even course, making your
existence one fair and consistent piece.
until together, having passed the heel
you come to the very toe of life, and
here, in the final narrowing of, and
dropping the coil of this emblematical
pair Of companions and comforting as.
sociates, nothing appears but white, the
token of innocence and peace, of purity
and light-may You, like these stock
ings, the final stitch being dropped, and
the work being completed, 60 together
from the place where you formed, to q
happier state Of existence, a present
from earth to heaven. Hoping that
these stockings and admonitions may
meet cordial reception, remain in
the true blue friendship seemly, with
ont seeming, yours from top to toe
