Why Printers are Cynical.

The other day 1 stood within the COM
posing-room of great daily newspaper.
There was nothing to delight the eye
no pictures, statues, or sumptuous fur
niture. Serious-looking men were stand
ing before the cases so fxedly that moth
ing less than the falling of the roof
would have distracted their attention.
Scarcely sound was audible but the
faint click of type falling into place. I
never before realized SO forcibly the
cause why newspaper printers are, as it
is said, naturally cynical. To-day they
set up the type that tells the world Of
rejoicings and festivity, tomorrow the
same type is made to proclaim disaster
and mourning; the same type which car
ries to 1910 homes the inaugural mes

of the same man. The momentary con-
traction of the forefnger of despicable
wretch levels exalted hopes and robes
the whole civilized world in sable. II

gerous experience in Florida recently,
and for the benefit of his many friends,

Reasons for Marrying.
From the Brooklyn Eagle. ]

Quaint old Burton, author of "The
Anatomy of Melancholy in his six
reasons for marrying, has seemingly left
no loophole for the unfortunate bachelor
to escape. First, he says, if you have
means, you have one to keep and in
crease it. CThe cynical, single gentle
man of the present time will say, "de-
creases IT'D Second, if you have none,
you have one to help you to get it.
Third, if you are in prosperity, your
happiness is doubled Fourth, if you
are in adversely, the wife will comfort
and assist you in bearing part of your
burden. Fifth, if you are at home she
will drive away melancholy. Sixth, if
you are abroad size will look after your
going from home, wish you success in
your business and joyfully welcome your
return.
That marriage is a natural state for
the great majority of the human family
very few, if any, will deny. The race
must be kept up, albeit some cynical old
bachelor on reading this remark puffs
forth cloud of tobacco smoke and says
that he sees no necessity for it. Town
ley has well said "that the great object
of a mans life should be to try and make
one woman happy" There seems to be
covert irony in this thought. He con-
fines the mans efforts to making one
woman happy, which is almost a need
less direction. Very few men in the
present age of extravaganza would have
the temerity to enter upon larger con-
tract. The demands of the sex are so
great as civilization progresses, and their
"wants F" are so many, that the man who
can supply them must literally make
money hand over fist The hundred
handed Briareus himself, we venture to
say, working day end night, would find
it difficult to grant the requests made by
some modern wives for the innumerable
articles of personal adornment and lux
ury, and thereby make them "happy."
Townley we'll observes, however, that a
man should simply try to bring the boon
of happiness to the feminine heart,
thereby clearly implying that he will not
always be successful in his noble and
self-sacrifcing endeavor.
Though bachelor may be willing to
marry he may not be able to win a wo-
mans heart. Washington Irving, one
of the most genial of American author
bachelors, remarked: 81 profess not to
know how woman's hearts are wooed and
won. To me they have always been
matters of riddle and admiration.
An American bishop gave his reasons
for not marrying He said he began to
preach when he was II, and travelled
from the age of 81 until he was 40. "I
could hardly expect" he said, " to find
woman with grace enough to enable
her to live but one week in the fifty-two
with her husband; besides, what right
has any man to take advantage of the
affections of woman, make her his wife,
and by voluntary absence subvert the
whole order and economy of the marriage
state by separating those whom neither
God, nature, nor the requirements of
civil society permit long to be put asun-

IRON HEATED IN LAMPBLACK.

1t has been noticed by M. A. Colson,
that when iron is heated In lampblack in
a reducing atmosphere, the carbon not
only passes into the iron, transforming it
first into steel and then into cast-iron,
but the iron to very perceptible de-
gree, becomes diffused in the charcoal.
The inference is that this diffusion OF

OUR COAST LINE.


The impression that the northeastern
eoastof the American continent is slowly
rising-the estimate of the rate of emer-
gency in progress being over foot, and
perhaps as much as three feet, in CEN
tury-has recently been cont1overted by
eminent scientific authorities, including
DR.. Mitchell, of the coast survey, who
states that the salt marshes are still, as
they were in the time of the early ex-
plorers, at ordinary high water level, and
that the rocks on our coast, long no.
torious as dangerous to navigation, have
not risen since they were first discov-
cred. But eastward of longitude 81 deg.
13 min., and especially in Newfoundland,
great changes present themselves, the
depth appearing to be at some points
less and at other points greater now than
formerly.
