THE chief duty of most newspaper men is to burrow around for news, not to form smooth sentences or enunciase se beautiful thoughts. Many persons can be brilliant two or three times year who utterly fail in the treadmin experi- ence of journalistic work. Literary con- tributors to newspapers or periodicals seldom become millionaires. Of course. one who is already famous can get his own price for an article, but $5 page is good average compensation for an article accepted by one of our magazines. Suppose it to cover ten pages, the writer receives $50. If he could write and se- cure publisher for twelve such articles in year, which is supposing what rare ly occurs, his net income would be 5000. Thus, while it may pay the young be- ginner in law or medicine to employ his own abundant leisure and increase his limited income by writing for these monthiies, a complete reliance on them for support, even under favorable cir cumstances, is foolish. As for the daily papers, they have little room, under the constantly-increasing amount of tele- graphic and local news. for the miscel- laneous topics, in which, alone, the out. sider can hope to compete with the regular staff. Thus they offer very little to the amateur.-C Cincinnati Gazette.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

ELEPHANTS have been known to live 400 years, and it is supposed whales may live 1,000yea
 THE elephant has been known to die sor grief when, in sudden fit of mad ness, he has killed his keeper.
 A sNA1I's head may be out of, and in certain time another head will be formed. At least, so says Spaflanzani.
 PRoF. UNTHANK, of Tucson, is alleged to have in his possession a brick taken from the great wall of China. The treasure is 4x12x1e inches, is composed of gray clay, and is as hard as granite. There are said to be several similar bricks yet remaining in the wall for any hardy antiquarian who can obtain them. but as there is a rigorous Chinese law against the demolition of the ancient barrier the only way to osmugglea brickout of the country is to bring 1t jn one's hot.
 IT is curious fact that most of the eminent men who hourished in tse Revo.ution had an especial penchant for widows. Washington married widow. Aaron Burr's wife was the widow of Col. Provost of the British army. John Hancock had en especial taste for widows, Mir. Madison took widow, and so did Stephen Hopkins. So did Am bross Gwinett, so did Patrick Henry, and so. did at least one-fourth of all the patriots and heroes of the days that tired mems souls as well as their pockets.
 THE Hindoo thief s manner of scaling walls is very ingenious. It is by means of huge lizard which he carries with hiE1 in his nocturnal rambies. The pro- cess is as follows: The lizard, which is, perhaps, yard in length, with great claws and fattened feet nnu suction powers like those of g fly, is made fast to the dacoit by tough cord tied to it's tail When the dacoit is pursued and comes in his nasty flight to wall, he quickly throws his lizard over 1t, hold ing fast to the other end of the cord, By means of it's suction power the lizard fastens himself in the wall on the oppo- site side, and the thief draws himself to the top and jumps lightly down. By choking the lizard he is made to release his hold.
 Ar the City of Medina, in Italy. and 1 about four miles around it, wherever the earth is dug, when the workmen ar- ! rive at distance of sixty-three feet they come to bed of chalk, which they bore with an auger, five feet deep. They | then withdraw from the pit before tha auger is removed, and upon its extrac- ton the water bursts through the aper- ture with great violence, and quickly fills the newly-made well, which contin- ues full and is affected neither by rains nor drought. But what is the most re- msrkable in the operation is the layer of earth as we descend. At the depth of fourteen feet are found the ruins of an ancient city, paved streets, houses, floors and different pieces of mason work
 Under this is found a soft, oozy earth, made up of vegetables, and at twenty six feet large trees, with the walnuts still sticking to the stem, and the leaves and branches in perfect state of preser- vation. At twenty-eight feet deep a sott chalk is found, mixed with 8 vast quan- l tity of shells, and the bod is two feet thick. Under this vegetables are found again.

Youthful Love Making.

A gentleman was swinging in ham, mock with a 4-year-old boy, who is on country vacation. when he noticed in another hammock just opposite brigl,. little girl of about the same age. named Nony Belle.
 eff were you," said the gentleman to the little fellow. "I would go over and kiss Nony Belle; she looks just as if she wanted a kiss"
 Nony Belle overheard the remark, and, placing her chubby finger in her mouth, twisted her head around in a rather abashed manner.
 The little fellow gazed at her intently for fall minute, and then, shaking his head wisely, exclaimed, with an expres. sion of disgust. "I don't know about it; she sucks her finger, and got through with that when WAS baby. ."-- Water- bury American.

Shade Trees Along the Highways.

It may not be in our day, but the time is coming when many of our public highways in this State will be lined witt, shade trees. We can hardly imagine how a small amount of money could b. expended which would add so much t. the appearance of the country, and af- ford such luxury to those who are called to travel, as the setting out of trees on each side of the roads, making a protection from the rays of the hot sun in summer and relief from the chill. winds of winter. Shade trees add nr: only beauty to the country, but they also add greatly to the value of the land which borders on the public highway Every farm would be worth much more with them. Individual effort would soon accomplish this desirable object. Organization of tree clubs in every town would also be an excellent plan, because then the trees could be set out in sys- te1natical manner. No one who has oc- casion to pass over road on a hot sum mer day, lined with shade trees, bu what feels grateful to those whose fore thought has added not only so much to i, lis comfort but to that of his hW: s4ss --4Vi,neapolis 3r:ttsaa

He Was for the Man.

A transcript of the evidence in "woman case" which was appealed to the Supreme Court of Indiana from a county near by contains the following paragraphs. It seems the woman was giving her testimony, and the clerk thus records it:
 Question" Was the defendant pre- ent at the time ?'
 Answer" No" Here the witness b.. gan to sob and cry bitterly.
 Question: Did you see him abo, that time ?"
 Answer-"N Here the witness threw herself down on the floor, yelled, beloved and walloped herself around until she had to be carried out of the room. When the Judges read this tran- script it is said one of them remarked :. elf that clerk wants to see a women wallop herself around and raise the cell ing of the house he ought to catch sight of my wife when she is in one oi her tantrums. Gentlemen, I'm not ft to pass on this case. I'm for the ma,-, up and down, in spite of tke devil =. Inter Ocean.
