Editorial Rooms.
Denver Tribune.

OSUVeT
The scene representing an editorial-room
difficulty in Milton Mobiles play of @Inter-
views" is very funny, but it is greatly exag-
gerated. The popular impression that al edi-
torial-room is q constant battle-ground, that
the editors are being necessarily bounded for
copy, that indignant subscribers rrNh in with
complaints and horsewhips, that the editor is
prosecuted creatures all fallacy The
average editorial-room is very quiet sort of q
place. spot where loafers are seldom toler-
ated, and where disturbances very infre-
queItly occur. The idea that the foreman is
inveterately bowling for copy is an erroneous
one, invented probably by some amateur jour-
nalist, long ago, who did not know that all
well regulated editors make it one Of
the important details Of their business
never to let the printers stand around
and charge time The editorial-room is not q
luxurious spot but it is invariably comforta-
bly, quiet. 1t is especially rare field for the
study of character. In the course of brief
year every phase Of human nature passes be-
fore the eye of the editor in his sanctum, and
it is there that the cant aud hypocrisy of hu-
mainly are most frequently self-exposed. The
hollowness and rotteuness of politicians are
first detected by the editor, for the politician
has 3 conhdant in the editor. And it is so
with merchants, lawyers, preachers and every
manner OF man who steps into the editorial
sanCtum. If they are weak and hypOcritical
the editor is the first to discover it, for tho ed
itOrial-rOom is a sort Of disrobing room for the
rest of the world-a chamber where people
come and lay of their masks aud toggery, and
display their blemishes and weaknesses To
those who are in the secrets of the sanctum it
is no wonder that editors are invariably the
most confirmed of cynics

Floating Spec ks in the Eye.

Youths Companion
Many persons are troubled with such specks,
called by the doctors ~musc@ yolitantes"-hit-
ting flies. They pass across the vision while
one is reading, or rise when the eye is turned
quickly upward, to descend slowly again as
the eye resumes its ordinary position. They
are always in motion.
Notwithstanding their name Of @fies," they
generally appear as minute beads, or strings
Of beads, or bits Of thread, or transparent
globules. When one attempts to hold them
before his direct vision, they Immediately float
away.
People who are subject to them often suffer
from needles fears on their account But
such may be treasured by the following from

One morning I saw the stewardess en- route

ONION EATING.

exceedingly savofy. Just let fellow banging

At last accounts, this famous religious Or
ganization was in trouble The common peo-
pie of England were leagned against it, and
as the praying bands marched through the
several towns, they were maltreated and even
stoned by the roughs and the lower classes. 1t
seems the common people of England resent
the attempt to teach them sobriety. But the
Salvation army is intent upon the discourage
ment of the use of liquor, hence the turmoil
But the great success of the Salvationists in
renewing the religious interests of such
number of people has excited the emulation
of the members of the Church of England,
who have commenced to organize movement
of similar kind. They are getting up pro-
cessions with banners, 30 as to march through
the towns calling on the people
to join the ranks of the faith
full But General Booth and his Jealous
wife, with their son as an assistant, still keep
the lead, and his army is marching on and re-
kindling the religious enthusiasm of the
people Of the British Isles.
