AN EDITORS WORK.

Some people estimate the ability Of
a periodical and the talent Of its editor
by the quantity Of its original matter.
1t is comparatively an easy task for a
frothy writer to string out column Of
words upon any and all subjects. His
ideas may flow in one week, washy,
everlasting food, and the command o.
his language may enable him to string
them together like punches of onions,
and yet his paper may be but a ineager
and poor concern. Indeed the mere
writing part Of editing paper is but a
small portion OF the work.
The care, the time employed in Sc
lecting, are the far more important,
and the fact of a good editor is better
shown by his selections than anything
else; and that we know, is half the bat
tie. But, as we have said, an editor
ought to be estimated, his labor under
stood and appreciated, by the general
conduct Of his paper-its zone, its uni
form, consistent course, aims, manli-
ness, its dignity and its propriety. To
preserve these and they should be pre-
served, is enough TO occupy fully the
time and attention Of any man. IL to
this be added the general supervision
OF the details of publication which
most editors have to encounter, the
wonder is how they find time to write
at all.

WOMAN.

Woman is Of the female sex, and
much joy and sorrow Of heart eman-
ateth thsrefrom.
She riseth up to-day and adorneth
her person with false bangs and a
patent adjustable compensate hustle.
By noontide she gosth forth, and 10
she is bssmitten Of men.
Tomorrow shs wsddsth, and as
evening settleth down she removeth
her artificial adornmsn is, and the sor-
rowful man bethinketh himself Of what
was.
4 day passsth Is year, and each
month csussth decrease Of the bank
account.
Lo! she aboundeth in blessings, and
her cup Of joy spilleth its contents be.
cause Of the excessive fullness and
running overnsss thereof.
A boy is born and her joy equaleth
two cupfuls, but sorrow entersth when
it proveth to be q girl, and her JOY
doth upset the cup and escapeth itself.
In the night season the wall Of the
child is heard and footprints as Of
stocking feet are abroad in the back
room.
Moreover, the air is filed with bois-
ferrous snoring, and the wife sleepeth
the sleep Of the sleepy in the front
room Of southern exposure.
She is doomed to sorrow and re-
morse of spirit, and who can measure
the grief of wife who sesth at an
hour Of great lateusss that she hath
joined herself to the wrong man.
She masheth dude Of her own heart
and her husband wonderful at her in
difference, and sesksth to appease her
with strawberry from Aorton's.
But her happiness rsturneth not,
neither ceaseth her anger to kindls
itself.
She seeketh separation, and trans
mitteth an epistle to Chicago lawyer
who advertiseth that he doth quietly
and with secretness cause to be I'M
didden what superhuman power hath
amalgamated together.
She seeketh justice and findsth yea
she breaketh her bonds and tho Re-
corder earneth fifty cents by reason Of
his issuing a marriage license.
She playeth upon the affections o.
the new dude, and he lavisheth upor
her his fathers riches.
But 10! her lot is cast in sorrowfu
places, for the dude hath a net thrown
about it and it is captured and Bar
mum seeketh to amuse the congrega
tons of his tabernaclss Herewith.
She dieth and returneth unto mac
adam, and the coroner pronounced
the cause thereof to proceed from tigh
lacing.

preceded it. Ice was formed half an

frozen that the greater part was cut down
and dried for fodder. Almost every
green thing was destroyed in this coun-

Papers received from England stated

September furnished about two weeks
of the mildest weather of the season.
Soon after the middle, it became cold

more than its share of cold weather
frost and ice were common. The sum-

Center Of Earthquake Trouble.

Though some terrible earthquakes
occur in Europe and Asia, South America
seems to be the center of trouble. In
1872 the city of Caracas: in Venezuela,
was destroyed in three shocks, each of
which did not occupy twenty seconds.
In 1859 the city of Callao was also com.
.pletely demolished, this being the second
lime. The first time a wave came in from
the sea one hundred feet high, and with
out warning burst upon the city. In
1922 an earthquake produced some
strange changes in tho Andes. Noun
tains were leveled, others were raised,
and II tract of land one thousand miles
square was bodily elevated about seven
feet.
1t has been learned from old records
chat the destruction of Herculnncum and
Pompcii was nearly accomplished by an
earthquake sixteen years before the ashes
of Vcsuvius covered them from sight.
Biblical records tells lis that earthquakes
were felt in Syria in the time of Ahab,
900 Be, and also in the reign of Uzziah,
800 B. G. In Josephus there is mention
of an earthquake hat dcsolated Judea at
the time of the battle of Actium, 81 B.
c., destroying over 10, 900 people. An
tioch has been visited by some terrible
scenes. The worst visitation was in $40,
A. D., when over 200, 900 persons were
destroyed. Sixty years later another
shock destroyed 60, 900 more.

The Year Without a Summer.

The year 1916 was known Throughout
the Urited States and Europe as the
coolest cver experienced by any person
then living. Very few persons now
living can recollcct it. June was the
coolest ever known in this latitude; frost
and ice were common. Almost every
green thing was killed, fruit nearly, all
DESTROYED. Snow fell to the depth OF
ten inches in Vermont, seven in Maine,
three in the interior Of New York, and
also in Massachusetts. There were q lew
warm days. All classes looked for them
in that memorable cold summer sixty
eight wears ago. 1t was called a dry
season. But little rain fell. The wind
blew steadily from the north cold and
fierce. Mothers knit extra socks and NIT
tens for their children in the spring, and
woodpiles that usually disappeared during
the warm spell in front of the houses
were speedily built up again. Planting
and shivering were done together, and
the farmers who worked out their taxes
on the country roads wore o%vercoats
and mittens. In a town i'll Vermont a
flock of sheep belonging to a farmer q
been sent, as usual, to their pasture. On
June II a heavy snow fell; the cold was
intense, and the owner started away at
noon to look for his sheep. "Better
start the neighbors soon, Wife" he said
in jest before leaving; "being in the
middle of juno I may get lost in the
snow" Night came, the storm increased,
and he did not return. The next morn
ing the family sent out for help and
started in search. One after another OF
the neighbors turned out to look for the
missing man. The o had covered
up all tracks. and not until the end of
the third day did they find him on the
side of a hill, with both feet frozen, I'M
able to move. A farmer who had a large
field of corn in Tewksbury built fires
around it to ward off the frost; many an
evening he and his men took turns
watching 1t. He was rewarded with the
only crop of corn in the neighborhood.
