Easter Sunday. The dresses are
many and the stitchers are few, and
thereby hangs the tale of the AFRO
giant sewing girls who demand
twice as much for making a dress
as the material OF it costs. In
large cities the dry goods stores
have dress-making departments and
furnish allthe materials to complete
any costume desired. Handsome
dinner or ball dresses cost from
$400 to $4,000 at those houses.
One dress-making establishment in
New FORK belongs to seven broth
ers, six of whom manage the bust
ness details at home, while the
other follows the devious path Of
the tickle goddess through Euro
pean cities for the benefit OF his
country-women. A woman takes
measures, but the cutting, basting
and button-hole making are done
by men. A woman arranges the
drapery. The work is mostly done
by hand, and one girl often spends
a week doing the shiring Of one
puff for an elaborate skirt.

The Country Editor.

Somebody has written up the
country editor in about two col
umns of nonpareil tor a New York
paper. The subject is not so un-
promising as it may at first appear,
The country editor has a hard road
to travel. He is the reporter,
book, keeper, mechanical superin-
tendent, business manager, collec-
tor, mailing machine and soliciting
agent of the establishment. His
work Is hard, his receipts small
and his creditors numerous. In a
small town an editor has to steer
his course so as to avoid giving Of
tense to different circles of society,
the religious demonstrations, the
business community and the rural
population. If an influential old
farmer wants a three-column notice
of his new barn, it must appear, or
the editor must lose a hundred sub
scribers. Patchwork quilts, big
beets and phenomenal eggs, also
clamor for space in the columns OF
the country paper. In the course
of time the rural scribe becomes
either iocose or morose, but in Ell
Their frame of mind he continues to
make friends who demand free ad-
vertising, and enemies who work
against him. The country editor
is always getting ready to abandon
journalism for something else, but
he rarely carries out his threat. He
generally dies in harness. In some
wild communities editors occasion
ally meet with rough treatment.
Sometimes they are driven out of
the country, and when other meth
DDS of getting rid ofthem fail, they
are sent to the legislature. The
city editor gets a good deal of fun
out of the country editors work,
but the man who bears the burden
regards it as a serious business.
And in the best sense it is serious.
The little local weeklies scattered
all over tho country are all in their
way potential factors of civilization.
They develop their localities, bring
their resources before the world,
and in a manner educate their
readers. They are always on the
side of the churches, the schools,
progress and reform. Men who
live and die working for such OBJ
jects are public benefactors and
deserve a substantial reward-At-
Idnta Constitution.

MINCE PIE.

Prompts me shus pie-ously to use
My pen in hopes that |. thereby.
May get my wife TO make a pie.
Two pounds Of beef, one pound Of suet
Five pounds apples chopped add 10 IL
Three pounds Of raisins currants two
Three-quartei pounds Of citron new
Two tablespoonfuls pure Of mace
The same of cinnamon you place;
Allspice and cloves and salt, once round
One teaspoonful1 nutmeg ground
OF sugar brown, five half-pounds true
Brown sherry pure, one quert will do
And one pint brandy, best. Now we
Have got our mince pie receipt.
This all the winter sweetly keeps,
II safe within stone jar it sleeps,
And tied with double covers where
There cireulates a chilling air.
But let II stand one day at least
Before you use it for the feast.
And If, in time, it gets too dry.
A little liquor you'll supply.
Now well suppose the pies are done
AAd steaming hot and brown each one.
And while the fragrant odors rise
Before yor taste you will, if wise,
Take them, regardless Of expense.
And toss the pie-sin Ger the fence.
Because who ever eats mince pie
will not digest-he will jest die.

Artemus Wards Boyhood.

0LbCAub w hAho Ivy AOON'
Artemus' father died when the
boy was about Is years old, and
as the family circumstances were
somewhat limited thereby, he was
apprenticed to Mr.. j. NJ. Rix, who
published the Coos Democrat, at
Lancaster, n. H.. The stage line
to Lancaster ran by the Brown
no mestead, and the drivers were
not unfamiliar with the ability of
the future genial Snowman" in
the way of practical jokes. They
knew how he organized shows,
wherein his fathers red COW, with
a coat sleeve stuffed full Of hay
hanging from her nose, served as
the elephant, upon which innocent
country youth were invited to ride,
with startling results. They knew,
too, how old Deacon Hale's white
horse had been induced to wander
away for miles following a tempt
ing bit of hay, hung fust beyond
reach by meaus Of a wrath strap.
ped to the horses neck.
There was an endless series of
pranks gotten up by the boys to
mystify the villagers in general,
and his mother in particular, and
all these were well-known to the
stage drivers. So when the young
humorist started for Lancaster,
eager to know as much as possible
about his future residence, the vet
eran driver, Steve Seary, having
previously conspired with the boys
in Rix's Office to give young Brown
a fitting reception, assured him
that Mr. Rix was a pious man, and
that his hands were, if anything,
more pious than he, and that the
sooner the would-be apprentice
crammed on the catechism the bet
ter. Charles listened d~olefully. 1t
was late at night when the stage
reached Lancaster, and in the
morning young Brown hied him
self to the office. The ''force"con-
sisted of a iourneyman and al ap
prentice named Smith. They re
ceived him solemnly. The jour
neyman handed him a bible and
made him read a chapter, after
which he was examined on the cat
echism. His ignorance was com
mented upon, but he was permit
ted to 60 to work. At noon a sim
liar performance vas enacted,
while intense gloom rested on the
office during the day, The next
morning Charles went to the Office
resolved to run away at the end Of
the week, but, on looking about,
failed to find his fellow-craftsmen.
Further search revealed them I'M
der the garrett stairs too intoxl-
Gated to walk. Young Brown was
so angry over the sell that he
wrote a note to the driver threaten
ing vengeance, which was never
carried out.
Browns fame as a humorist was
a surprise to all who knew him, and
even to himself. A greater sur
prise to his kinfolk now is the in
terest still manifested in the dead
merry maker and his work. They
thought that all attention would
cease with his life, but every year
the number of people who visit
Waterford to see his mother-now
almost eighty years old-increases.

FAVORED A HIGHER FINE.

home, Wis. One dav he called
his father into the library, and
said {:
"Pa, l don't like to toll you,
but the teacher and | have had
trouble"
whats the matter now 7"
"Well, | cut one of the desks a
little with my knife, and the teach
er says I've got to pay a dollar or
take a lickin'."
"Well, why don't you take the
licking and say nothing more
about it2 / can stand considera-
bic physical pain, so long as it Wis
its our family in that form. OF
course, it is not pleasant to be fog
ged, but you have broken a rule of
the school, and | guess you'll have
to stand it. | presume that the
teacher will in wrath remember
mercy, and avoid disabling you SO
that you can't get your coat on any
more"
"But, pa, l feel mighty bad
about it already, and if you would
pay my fine I'd never do it again
A dollar amt much to you, pa,
but it's a heap to a boy that hasn't
got a cent. If | could make a dol
lar as easy a you can, pa, I'd
never let my little boy get hogged
that way just to save a dollar. II
| had a little Teller that got licked
bekuz l didn't put up tor him, I'd
hate the sight Of money always.
I'd feel as eft every dollar I mad in
my pocket had been taken out of
my little kids back"
Well, now, I'll tell you what I'll
do, I'll give you a dollar to save
yoa from punishment this time, but
it anything OF this kind ever occurs
again I'll hold you while the
teacher ticks you, and then III get
the teacher to hold you while | lick
you. That's the way l feel about
that. If you want to 60 around
whiting up u educational insti-
t%utions you can do so !; but you
will have to purchase them after
wards yourself. | don't propose
to buy any more damaged school
furniture. You probably grasp
my meaning, do you not? send
you to school to acquire an cduca-
ton, not to acquire liabilities SO
that you can come around and
make an assessment on me. | feel
a great interest in you, Willie, but
| do not feel as though 1t should
be an nsscssable interest. | want
to go on of course and improve the
property, but when | pay my dues
on it | want to know that it goes
towards development work. |
don't want my assessments to 90
toward the purchase of a school
desk with American hieroglyphics
carved on it.
II hope you will bear this in
your mind, my son, and beware.
1t will be greatly to your interest
to beware. If | were in your place
would put in a large portion of
my time in the beware business
The boy took the dollar and
went thoughtfully away to school,
and no more was ever said about
the matter until Mr. Taylor
learned casually several months
later that the Spartan youth had
received the walloping and filed
away the dollar for future refer
ence. The boy was atterward
heard to say hat he favored a
much higher fine IN cases Of that
kind. Que whipping was suhi-
cient, he said, but he favored a
fine of IS. 1t ought to be severe
enough to make it an object. BIZ

Why, sir, man Tn this town who had some shares went to Frisco the other day, and do you believe 1t, stock that he held stood at five dol lars. He sold few shares and the stock In the same mine went up to eight dol lars a share"

 You are an old acquaintance and friend of Flood, what does be think of the bonanZas?"
 Think of them; wLy the young man, that is youug Flood, said so me that he never saw the old man excited over mines until be purchased the Quijotoa bon nzas; he thinks they are the best yet discovered"
 Are you personally acquainted with the two Floods and Mackay' asked the reporter.

i Good 5cheme,

Superintendent Muir of the Southern Pacific Las inaugurated a scheme that will prove one Of much value to the company property and the property of others in the vicinity of the yard. A pump has been attached to the switch engine which throws a heavy stream more than two hundred feet. 4 test was made yesterday afternoon with hose attached to a water car and eight thou sand gallons of water were thrown over Porter's hotel in less than half an hour. The pump worked admirably and MT. Muir has directed that tests be made once a week. 4 water car has been placed on a sile-track just west of the hotel and another near the round house. each car containing 5000 gallons of water which with the 6,OO0 gallons car ried by the engine will make 22,00O gallons of available water in case of an emergency. This idea is a good one as there are many buildings, including warehouses in the vicinity of the depot and MT. Muir deserves credit for intro duclnr the same

One of the largest Episcopal congre- cations ever assembled Tn this city gath cred in the Probate Court room, of the county building, yesterday morning; in fact, every seat was occupied. In the absence of clergyman, MT. Charles Hudson read the services, and as he has dcne so several times previously did so in an admirable manner.
 The altar and reading table were pro- fusely covered with flowers, hundreds having been brought from Los Angeles, while the gardens of Tucson were ran sacked for floral beauties.
 In addition to the usual Easter hymns, rendered by the choir composed of Messrs, Grossetta and Penney, and Mesdames Wilkins and Bennett, the Offertory. Come Holy Spirit" was charmingly produced by Mesdames Wilkins, Bennett and MT. Herbert B. Penney. The Te Deum was in F, by J. K. Thomas and the Jubilate by Alois P. Lejeal.
