The Reporter.

THIsis reporter. You will notice how
finely he is dressed. He wears his best
clothes every day, because he doesn't
know what Sunday is. Reporters have
an easy life. They seldom go to work
before ten O'Clock in the morning, and
are often through with their labors by
twelve at night. There are many kinds
of reporters. The society reporter goes
to parties and weddings. He takes
down the names of the people who have
been invited, whether they are there or
not, and prints them in the paper the
next day. Once man started for o
party, but got too full for utterance be-
fore reaching there, and was locked up.
The society reporter said he was at the
party, all the same, but the police re-
porter said he was fined three dollars
for being drunk. So this man got his
name in the paper twice, but he cut out
one of the items for fear his wife might
see them both and think the press was
making too much of him. Men are not
often so modest. The sporting reporter
goes to horse races, and baseball games,
and cock-fghts. 1t is wicked to go to
horse-races if you bet on the wrong
horse. Once there was a croquet tour
nament in large city, and the editor of
paper knew that somebody must write
it up. So he spoke to the sporting
editor. "What have l got to do with
those dizzy croquet playersP" said the
sporting reporter. "That's a society
event" al guess you are right" re-
piled the editor; $50 you can 90 up in
the country about two miles north
of where the street cars run and
see if it looks as if we would
have an early spring, and then
this evening there are four
Land League meetings for you to look
after" So the sporting reporter had a
little something to do, after all, and
dubbed himself quite heartily. A man
need not have classical education In
order to be q good reporter, but he must
be able to hustle around some, and humn
himself when there is q big fire or n
murder Reporters can get nearer to a
fire than anybody except the firemen, and
the new ones do it. But the old heads
at the business know better. They
stand on the corner until the fire is out.
and then they get hack and 90 to the
house of the man who owns the build
ing, and ask him how much the old shell
was worth, and If he thinks the iusIr.

for setting it on fire. This is when the

George Eliot.

The author of "Adam Bede, " "Silas
Marner," sRomola," ''Middlemarch,"
and "Daniel Deronda" was woman of
extraordinary insight and reasoning
power, with mental training and COM
prehensive requirement which, without
her imaginative genius, would have
made her famous not only among
women, but among all contemporaries.
There is some disposition, accordingly,
and naturally, to underestimate her
high and beautiful imagination. But if
the lofty company of "Shakespeare's
women" as Shelley called them, re-
ceived no real addition until Scott's
Jeanne Deans, has there been any such
permanent and noble accession to their
society since Jeanne Deans as Dinah and
Romolap Dickens women are anus
ing, Thackeray's Becky Sharp is an en-
during figure of its kind, Jane Eyre is
pathetic, and a lovely throng tlutter
through all the lesser novels; but for
mingled dignity intelligence, pathos and
supreme womanliness, the range of our
imaginative literature shows no nobler
forms than Dinah and Romola.
Miss Burney, Miss Austen, Charlotte
Bronte, and George Eliot are the chief
Englishwomen among the novelists, and
unquestionably the one of greatest
power is she who lately died. The dis
tinctions among them are absolutely
marked. The first two oonformed. to
SCOTS assertion that the business of the
story-teller is to amuse; the last two
were inspired by the humane desire OF
great souls not only to amuse but to as
sist mankind. How far this desire is 8
constituent element of creative genius,
and whether, If the moral purpose be
excluded severely from art, the moral
result is not more surely attained, we
need not now consider. 1t is very pos
sibly true. 1t is possible that Scott will
outlive the distinctiyely humane school,
and that he and Shakespeare and
Homer are moral only as nature is
moral, and therefore more deeply and
effectively moral than any other literary
influence can be. But none the less the
great genius which was lately withdrawn
from us, and which will be always
known in literary history as George
Eliot, will be always honored also as
one of the greatest literary forces in our
common language. - Editors Easy

The Tyranny of Buttons.

AMONG all the possible arguments for
woman's natural inferiority 10 man, the
only one having real force has never
been formulated; this is her meek and
unquestioning submission to buttons.
The buttons of the male habiliments
are always coming off notably before
breakfast, when the average husband is
about as amiable as bear with sore
head. At this time, if he finds button
loose, he gives it a "yank," and then
looks about helplessly for his victim
the first woman coming into his field of
vision. He holds the button up before
her, says it has "come " off, and she is
expected TO sew it on straightway.
Generally the victim is his wife; and
though the baby may be crying and the
breakfast preparations in need of super
vision, while the tyrant himself has
nothing on earth TO do but make his
toilet, and has, moreover, sewing mate
rails right before him on the bureau or
dressing table, he never rises TO the con-
ception of his possible competence to
supply his own wants. Woman, in his
eyes, is the preordained supervisor of
buttons; and delicate consideration for
her rights and prerogatives is his motive
for RELOCATING the task to her; at least
this is the way he apologies, when in a
playful mood, for his lack of dizziness
with the needle, which, as a rule, is
wholly the fault of the women who had
charge of his boyhood. They should
have taught him to replace the buttons
he is forever wrenching off with his rude
lingering. One or two lessons about the
time the boy begins to go to school, a
little work-b0X placed in his room con-
tanning needles, thread, two or three
kinds of buttons, and an open-top Thin
ble--the only kind that ever should be
vorn--and the problem is solved for a
lifetime; for whatever one is accustomed
70 do from childhood one does easily
And dexterously. Women have shown
their capacity for accomplishments and
attainments supposed to be exclusively
masculine. 1t is time for correspond
ing display of ambition and adaptability
on the part of men; and they can not
make better beginning than by learn
ing to sew on their own buttons. M H.,

period, it is implied that the large sum
has been judiciously laid out. The ex-
ample is one that might we'll be followed.

THE number of elementary substances
recognized in chemistry has now reached

ACCORDING to the Chroni0ue Indus.
trieLle, considerable quantities of beauti.
full objects of artificial amber are now
being produced in Vienna, and sold as

is chiefly colophony, or resin, obtained

several other ingredients are used to
give it the requisite qualities. The imi.
tation is so perfect that the product has
the electric properties of true amber.
Ingenious manufacturers have even in
troduced into the substance foreign
bodies, insects, etc., to make the SINH
