THE EDITORS SILENT Partner.

Nebraska editors always were sem
sible lot of fellows, but it has never
been demonstrated moro fully than by
five of them getting married lately
in q single month. In noting this
fact the Omaha Republican says: NE
braska editors and publishers are either
doing good business or are not afraid
of responsibility" The fact is, no old
bachelor is fitted to edit newspaper.
A man cannot write q good editorial
with his left suspender button gone
and the starch on his shirt-collar slowly
cutting off his right ear. It is no use
talking. Nebraska editors are right;
you cant edit paper properly without
good digestion, and You never have
that until you get good wife. 4 good
wife may never put a pen to paper, and
yet Justly claim two-thirds Of all that
is good in the columns.

M. Gentilli's speech recorder, or
glossograph, as it is termed, continues
to attract much attention in Vienna.
1t is described as a combination OF
delicate levers and blades, which. being
placed upon the tongue and lips and
under the nostrils of a speaker. are
vibrated by the movements of the for
mer and the breath flowing of the lat
ter. This vibration is transmitted to
pencils; the latter transcribe the sever
al signs produced by the action of the
tongue and lips, and the breath from
the nostrils, upon strip of paper
moved by a mechanical arrangement;
a unique system of writing is the re-
suit of this-based upon the principle
of syllable construction and combina-
ton of consonants.

A Cleveland robber, caught at work,
said that he had been sent to America
by the St. Charles Christian Society of
London. He had been in Portsmouth
prison for robbery; after leaving pris-
on he was on ticket-of-leave for eight
cen months, and under police surveil-
lance for five years. Therefore, when
the society proposed to give him $50
''for good conduct" if he would emf
CRATE, "of course he came at once. y
Four other convicts came over in the
same ship. To the question whether
many rogues were sent to America in
that manner, he replied: "a good
many. They don't like to leave the
old country, but they are allowed
more money by the Government If
they do, and get free passage from
the Christian societies. But this is
nothing compared with getting rid Of
ticket-of-leave and police surveil-
lance"

There was chap on the boat who
lived at Jackson, Miss, and he was
telling us many anecdotes regarding
the negro population. Among others,
he had friend who one day asked of
an aged darkey:
"Well, Colonel, what particular os.
sifcation has predominated over the
ramifications of late?'
The old man gave pull at his hat
with one hand, and scratched his head
with the other, and answered.:
"Well, sab, reckon dat was him

There was passenger from Rhode

these anecdotes, and two or three

was the chance the smart Aleck had

demanded:

Blocks of glass are hardened by a

Tho Servant Girl Problem.

"Gnth" in New York Tribune.
A wealthy man from IL old German coun-
try Of Pennsylvania saia to Inc yesterday:
you would not think that in our region it is
hard TO get domestic servants. where we have
so many strong, farm-raised native girls to
whom work is the chief education. Yet it Is
true, and / attribute it to the adica change
money has effected to the real injury of the
well-to-do people; for of what use is our
money if we cannot get reliable cooks. nurses
and maidsl Not many years ago we raised
the best household servants in tho country,
and there were plenty of them at easy wages.
Then we were not so pulled up with money and
our girls had a pleasant relation with the fam

Ibout. Now, since some Of us have become
rich, they are NJ longer invited upstairs and

There are women in our midst who nave
looked forward all their lives to a possible
time when they might own q plain, lady like
costume of elegant material-say a good
black silk. To nave such a one would make
them perfectly happy, while their neighbors
are women who have worn nothing but
silken gowns and velvets all their lives.
But the first is the happier of the two. She
hop s on-stil looks forward to the superb
possession, while the other has nothing to
look at through the lens of futurity. The
future, when the rosy curtain rolls away, can
show her nothing she has not known in the
past-only newer silk gowns, others like what
have gone before, and which have fallen to
the lot of the poor relative. She can still feel
an enthusiasm while looking at painted satins
and brocaded ~velvets, but her expectancy is
blunt at the point. What can the woman
know of the genuine happiness who does not
remember the first day she wore a sealskin

l-NtN u L .
One of the fancies of the day Il to have in
Vulnerable scrap-bags and w~ork-bags scat
tered through the house. This should, and
probably will become something more than a
fancy, for after one has become accustomed
TO the convenient practice of putting away
things in them it will be difficult TO give
them up. They are made in every style and
OF every kind OF material.
II for bedrooms, they should match in color
with the other bright or sombre colors used
there. One very simple and pretty way to
make them Is TO make the bag OF white
butchers linen; cut it square and have 1t
about fifteen inches each way. Across the
top and bottom put on a strip Of Canton fan
mel three inches wide; sew this to the linen
with fancy stitches, then draw three circles
at equal distances apart and about the size of
a hnlf-dollar. Work these, commencing at
the centre and going up in straight lines to
the circumference, with three or four Shades
OF yellow embroidery silk. The bag Ii not
gathered at the top. but has two blue strings
attached to the corners to hang it by. The
bottom OF the bag may be by a
strip Of butchers linen fringed out, or by a
row OF torchon across the bottom, slightly
fulled on, or it may be left plain.
Another way is to have the bottom of the
bag OF a band OF silk, sateen or velvet, 1--WE
inches wide, and the rest of the bag, which
should be ten inches or more long, Of one
kind of material. The top should be faced
for about five inches and a shir be stitched
there and ribbon run in. Aida canvas bags,
made in the shape of the first one mentioned,
are very pretty. Embroider some snowy
figure or pattern on the canvas and have tho
upper part OF silk with very narrow ribbon
to hang it by. The canvas 50 extensively
used by tailons in gentlemen's coats make
nice and serviceable bags. This may be used
in place of butchers linen.
Still another style is to take a piece of silk
~three-quartens OF a yard long and twelve
inches wide, line 1t with silesin, sew It up in a
long and narrow bag, leaving Al opening in
the centre large enough to insert your hand,
gather the ends and finish with a tassel, slip
two small rings Of bone or Of brass over these
ends up to each side of the opening. These
are made up especially to hang over a rod OF
the knob of a door that Is not used often, and
made very ornamental Outline work shows
to good advantage on brown canvas, and
cashmere is pretty for the upper part Of the
laV
