Field, saying: Il notice in your issue of May

your previous issue some correspondent asks

twelve years, never having been defeated dur

I am champion wing shot of the world, as |
won that title in England in 1875, and also in

BUSINESS SECRETS.
The Trouble Between Mast and Curtis-Ths
Catholics and the Harpers.


st. Louis Republican.
A Republican reporter met, Yesterday,
representative of the publishing house of
Harper & Brothers, of New York, who volun-
teered information ON several interesting
points.
George William Curtis, the editor of Har-
per's Weekly, and Tom Mast, the artist. are
at loggerheads and have been for some time.
You have perhaps, noticed the startling diff
ference in sentiment between Nasts cartoons
and the editorials of Curtis since the growth
of what is known as the Stalwart portion of
the Republican party. More than a year
ago Mast sent in some cartoons for
Harpers Weekly, which did not gibe
with Curtiss ideas. Curtis, exercising
his right as editor of the paper, would
not allow them to appear. Mast kept
quiet and awaited the issue. Soon word
came to him from the Harpers that they
wanted some of his pictures. He called at
the office and stated his case. He must have
all the work he produced published as he
sent it in, OF he would quit work. There
upon council of the Harpers was called
and it was decided to allow artist and editor
supreme right to do as they pleased in their
respective departments. On being informed
of this decision, Mr. Mast said that when Mr..
Curtis saw fit to publish the cartoons which
he had then on hand, he (Nast) would send
in others. So Curtis was compelled to print
Nast's obnoxious pictures, but he took his
revenge in editOrially matchmaking the
ideas they suggested. and lac has kept up his
fusillade ever since. 1t is a wonder to me
that the matter has not attracted more at
tention."

ConvaIescence.

What bright and cheerful aspect this
room had! The morning toilet was over,
the window was open to the sun and air, and
Stephanie, pale, but with the signs of re-
turning health, was propped up in a reclin-
ing chair which the doctor had sent from the
city. The chamber Itself, so long filled with
a heavy atmosphere and oppressive silence,
and which, as if instinct with apprehension
and sympathy for the being who occupied it,
had so long worn that aspect of dread ex-
pectancy which has so sinister meaning
had become transformed. Through the win
dow came the myriad sounds of life; of
waters trickling among the moss and roots
of the forest, the hum of insects and the
song of birds. The very sunlight danced for
Joy on the wooden floor among the shadows
of the leaves, and played over the gray dress
of Seur Marie as she sat reading her prayers
for Seur Marie was never idle-when her
hands or feet were not busy, her eyes were
fixed on God. Those prayers of hers ran
over her lips continuously, like the water
over dam, and like it also, set in motion all
the machinery OF her life, which thus be-
came itself prayer. Stephanie often Won
dered as she lay in the dreamy quiescence of
convalescence, too weak for aught beyond a
passive surrender to that sense of peace
which the slow incoming tide of life brings
with it,. whether or no Seur Marie had ever
dreamed.

A rEA-rAsrER,s DUTIES.



San Francisco Chronicle.
The last little "unconsdered trihe" floated
out on the sunset press is that there had
been sent for to Washington tea-taster A
tea-taster, as an examiner meant by the
statute would be about as effective as pie
bitter. Tea-tasters are employed by importers
of teas, by great tea firmsin China and Japan,
in London and New York Their duties are
very onerous. Their taste has to be instinct
lively correct, as reliable as a car-conductor's
bell-punch, and yet the most expert of them
could no more ascertain the facts re-
quired by the law than could the
trained consumer of clearinghouse hash tell
what curiosities of the animal, the vegeta-
bic, the mineral and the red-hair world had
originally been chopped up in the old oaken
hash-bucket that hangs out in the kitchen.
HIS whole duty is to merely tell the mer-
charitable grade of the tea, and, by tasting
pinch OF the leaves, to accurately anticipate
the flavor that the same tea will offer to
the consumer of it when it has been stepped
and served. He puts pinch of the tea as
prepared for market into his mouth; he
worke his mouth unpleasantly for few
moments till the tea is softened with saliva;
then, with 'click" like the cooking of an
Arizona six-shooter, he obtains the 'taste;'
then he spits the tea out, carefully rinses his
mouth and gives his verdict. His is the
most melancholy of lives He may never
taste intoxicants. His diet must be such
that it will never deteriorate his tasting pow
ers. But he gets an enormous salary-$1S,00
a year in Japan, which is really more than
many intellectual San Franciscans receive.
But the average of his usefulness is only
eight years Much mistaken was the Irish
poet who wrote of whisky
You're shtronger, shwater daycenter.
You're shpunkier nor tay,
because "tay" in eight years leaves the
faster hopelessly palsied invalid, to spend
his savings in the vain hope of regaining
health. Japan is about two-thirds covered
with the green graves OF green tea-tasters,
and other places are in proportion. That tea
will nebriate is proven. When the tea plant
is just about to bloom experts go through the
gardens and carefully clip the most advanced
blossoms just about to burst into flowers.
These are manipulated generally. as is all
tea, with the most jealous care. The result is
tea that SELLS even in Japan and in China, at
from $40 to $1S pound. The travelled Amer
leans are numerous who unanimously attest
that the leisurely drinking of four little china
cups of the stepping of this kind of tea has
almost precisely the same effect upon them
as the drinking of quart bottle of cham
payne, only that the exuberance is far more
lasting and that it leaves them without
head ringing like dinner gong and with no
presentiment of resulting -. Us"

A Baby Marked by a Comet.

Panama Dispatch.
The comet is not exhausted as a subject for
newspaper paragraphs in South America.
The Siglo, of Montevideo. says that there is
to be seen at Graneros, Tucuman, girl three
months old, who has the figure of a comet
marked OH her forehead. The nucleus is
situated between the eyebrows, and the tail
follows along to the left of the forehead to
where the hair begins. The figure is of red
dish color and its inclination to the eye
brows is forty-five degrees. The mother of
the infant attributes the phenomenon to her
having looked too intently at the comet.

ASTORIA FIRE.

f. c. Holden. the Oreg0nidn's regu
lar local correspondent from this place,
an eyewitness Of the FIRE, furnishes the
following graphic account:
"Thc fire started in tho box factory
of the C!atsop Mill Company. Owing to
the extreme inAammability of the sur
roundings. in less than ten minutes from
the first alarm given the whole mill was
cnveloped in flames, which soon extended
to mammoth shed, in which was stack
ed hundreds of thousands Of feet Of man
ufactured lumber. A fresh wind was
blowing from the west, and it very soon
became evident that the thickly clustered
frame buildings on the lee side of the
mill property, and in close proximity
thereto, We're doomed Antoine Melius'
restaurant, a two-story frame house across
the street east from the lumber shed. was
selected as the point of attack by the
chief engineer, w. Barry. If this could
be saved, possibly the fire might be lin
tied to the saw mill property. The in
tense heat soon ignited it, and after man
fully standing their ground, pouring two
streams on the building, almost scorchng
themselves, they were Obliged to retire to
prevent the hose burning up. Rescue
Company then hastencd with their en-
CINE around back street Gas it would
have been folly to run the gauntlet in a
straight direction through the fierce heat
in order to get down to the O. X. & n
Co.'S dock and warehouse on the Other
side of the fire and to do good service
there, but they had rough road to trave
with their engine, and by the time they
reached their objective point the two
blocks on both sides of the street wer,
all ablaze, and it was evident the fire fcnt
would have it all his own way. Soon the
extensive and capacious warehouses run
ming with the coal bunkcrs some 900 feet
along the river front were xname. 1t was
a beautiful, even if it was pitiful, sight
1t seemed as if the intense heat had eff
fected all parts of the main building alike
For minute smoke issued APPARENT,
from every crevice between every shingle
then, suddenly, as if a match had beer
applied to a train of gunpowder, the Who'll,
roof became bright flame, which soor
consumed the feeble shingles and side
: boards bearing the massive tmbers stand
ing out in bold relief all afre, having tn,
appearance of frame contracted for fire
, works ON gigantic scale. In less thar
one hour from the starting of the fir,
two blocks of buildings and warehouse
covering not less than three acres, wer,
I totally destroyed, On the west side OF
the disastrous scene men, women and chill
dren stood and gazed with hearts palpi
tating alternately with hope and fear
wondering if their places of business ant
, homes were also to be sacrificed Tn,
, total losses amounted to S250,000.

A COMPLIMENT INDEED.

With what disdain must the practical politi
clans view the "schoolmastcrs tests" now ap-
piled under the direction of the civil service
commission. How loftilv they must sneer at
the idea OF bestowing office on the ground OF
business capacity instead OF partisan service.
Under the old system there was but one test
fidelity to the boss. The fitness OF the appli-
cant was the last Observation-Disclosures Adver-
User.
On the simple question of fact, our
judgement is that the practical politi-
clans" are not without reason IL, as we'll
they may, they look with disdain on the
schoolmaster tests. So far as hints Of the
questions and their character have been
given to the public, they are in large de-
gree irrelevant, inconsequential, and In no
way to be compared to the Jeffersonian
tests. '.is he honest, Is he capable, Is he
faithful TO the constitution" The ADDER
tiser must pardon Us II We sugges that 1t
is speaking after the manner of politicians,
and that not of the most conscientious
class, when it says "the fitness OF appli-
cants was the last question considered"
At the same time its language Is highly
complimentary to the mass OF the people
OF the United States-more so than the
Advertiser probably intended. When the
character OF the public service as actually
performed 10 the whole, Is considered, Its
efficiency, its promptitude, and-star route

sons who are performing that service have
cen taken with little regard to stiffness,
