Writing Bitter Editorials,

Let me tell you how I write mean
letters and bitter editorials, my boy.
Sometime, when man has pitched
into me and ''cut me up roagh," and
1 want to pulverize him, and wear
his glory scalp at my girdle, and his
hide on my fence, I wlite the letter
or editorial that is to do the business.
I write something that will drive
sleep from his eyes and peace from
bis soul for six weeks. Oh, / do
hold him over slow 6re and roast
him. Gall and aquafortis drip from
my blistering pen. Then, I don't
mail the letter and don't print the
editorial. There's always. plenty: Of
time to cruelty man. The vilest
criminal is entitled to little, re-
prieve. Iput tie manuscript away
in a drawer: Next day I look at it.
The ink is cold; I read it over and
say: ''Idon't know about this. There's
q good deal of bludgeon and bowie.
knife journalism in that. I'll hold A
over a day longer" The next day e
read it again. I laugh and say:
''Pshaw!" and l can feel my cheeks
4 little hot. The fact is 1 am ashamed
I ever wrote it, and hope that no.
body has seen il, and I have half for
gotten the article or letter that filed
my soul with rage. haven't been
nurt, I haven't hurt anybody, and the
world goes right along, making
twenty -four hours q day ss usual, and
am all the happier. Try it, my
boy.-Bo6 Burdette.

What Ono Woman Did.

About three years ago = young
woman ia one Of our Eastern cities,
unmarried, and with no close family
ties, looked about IN the world for
some helpful work to do. Near her
lived a deaf and dumb child, little
girl, with speaking, intelligent eyes.
Her parents were not able to send
her to the asylum. Her kind heart.
ed neighbor became very much at-
tached to the child. studied the Ger
man method of oral teaching for the
dumb, and brought little Mary every
day to Ler home 10 try and impart it
to her.
The child placed her hand on her
teachers throat, and, bringing her
face close to hers, learned first to in.
hale and expel the air. Then each
sound of every letter and word was
taught by sight in the same manner.
The pupil followed the motion OF
the speakers lips and replied in the
same mechanical way. One deaf and
dumb child after another joined title
Mary at her task until the school
numbered 70 pupils. with nine teach
ers. The infinite5paticnce required
in this training is almost inconceiy.
able. But the progress is rapid. =.
Three years have passed since the
opening of the school, and the pupils
have acquired all that a child could
learn in its nursery and primary
school-to speak, read, write and un-
derstand the first four rules of arith-
metic, The school is free. + = :.
Its work, so far, has been to make
of these creatures, who we're little
better then animals, active. intelligent
human beings, and this work is due
to one earnest, kindly woman. -

Warming tho Feet.

At this season Of the year it is us.
ua], especially for the aged, to suffer.
in bed, with cold feet. The usual
remedy is the use OF hot bricks and
the like, carried to bed, with more or
less regularity, for about months Of
the year. This, of necessity, aggra-
Yates the difficulty, compelling one
to depend more or less on srtifici.l
heat, instead ofpreventing the esc.ps
Of the heat by conductlon.

great principlei is that the human body
generates its own heat, the only OBJ

by the lungs, ete., These heat gen-.

It is very injudicious for the aged,
and those whose powers are, reduced
any cause, to thrust the feet into cotd
water, as a means of increasing the
heat, since the shock is too great, and
since the temporary gain, if any, will
be overbalanced by loss of power,
which this class cannot afford.

usefulness but they give home like look

ordinary country hotel or boarding house.

is very good. Certainly the peacock
leather as decoration has antiquity to
recommend it, since King Solomon en-
ployed 1T; it was sacred to Juno and
enshrlned In the temple at Samos. Before
the Christian era the peacock was the
symbol Of pride and vain glory, afterward
1t typlfed the Resurrection. Peacock
feathers form the ceremonial fan carried
when the Pope is borne in procession
throughout Rome.
"The peacock feather is employed to
decorate curtains, wall hangings, and of
old, altar Grapes. The peacock as a decor
alton has the sanction of ancient usage.
In the days of chivalry and romance the
knights and squires associated with the
peacock their ideas of fame and honor.
The flesh is praised, and the peacock was
the most distinguished dish at the solemn
aud stately banquets Of kings and princes
Even to-day the peacock is cooked, but
the flesh is coarse, hard and brown.
Speaking of olden times, one of the
prettiest fashions is use of notices in the
room of the owner. Queen Elizabeth and
Mary Stuart were clever at these. The
earliest of Mary's symbols was a fem de lys
and harp unsigned with royal crown.
Queen Lady Jane Seymour has the motto,
issuing from ducal crown, "Bound to
obey and serve" Margaret of Anjou's was

field daisy. Queen Elizabeth of Yorks
motto was "Humble and reverent." Queen

mine," implying that by her was to be

The District telegraph.

Mr.. E. A. Reeder, whose presence in the
city for the purpose OF introducing the Dis
trict Telegraph system was noted two weeks
ago, was here again yesterday, and has made
preliminary arrangements for the erection,
sometime this month, OF test line connect
ing the hotels, GLoBE-REPUBLIc Office ard
perhaps some of the public Offices, to show
the workings of the system while canvassing
for patrons, of which number have already
been secured permanently. Under a contract
made to deliver their messages, the register
will be in the Western Union telegraph Office,
Lagonda House building, which will be head
quarters. The enterprise is favorably re-
ceived by the public here, and, with the aid
Of the test line, it is thought there will be
little difficulty in securing sufficient num-
Der of subscribers to insure the successful
carrying out OF plans formed. The charge
for each call-bo1 is fifty cents per month.
One Of the advantages OF the system is, to
those employing watchmen in the shops or
warehouses, in the opportunity it gives for
watching the wstchmen. The company's
boxes are located at several points about the
works, from each of which, at a stated hour,
the night watchman must send in q call
showing himself to be Oh duty at the proper
time and place. If he fails to send in the
call a messenger boy is sent at once to look
him up.
