A Great Journalist.

A tall, richly dressed man, wearing a
watch charm as large as a fiat-iron, sat
in the Office of an Estelline hotel. He
had the appearance of man who own
ed the whole earth and was looking
around for purchaser. With patron
izing wave of his hand he said:
Yes, gentlemen, the profession of
journalism is grand 1t is the press of
to-day that is the lever which moves the
world. The newspaper is not only your
true educator morally and intellectually
but the dictator before which govern
ments bow. l myself am a journalist,
and am proud of it." He paused and
sank back in MS chair. Two small boys
in the back part of the room took off
their hats and man kicked the dog
and made him crawl back under the
table. There was breathless silence. A
moment later the journalist arose and
walked out. One man took chew of
tobacco and another tiptoed up to the
counter, jerked his head toward the
door, and said to the landlord:
''Well, | suppose that is the editor of
the London Times"
Not hardly" replied the landlord.

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and woman who, to
coin phrase, are only half alive. That is TO
say, they have seldom if ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak. fidgetty and troubled by
numberless small pains and aches. In the
presence of vigorous, eIuberant vitality they
seem mere pigmies. Such persons are usually
fond of frequently dosing themselves, swal-
lowing in the course of the year enough drugs
to stock any apothecary's shop of average di-
mens;on. This, of course, defeats instead of
furthering the end in view, viz, the recovery
of health and vigOr. We're they to seek it from
an unfailing source of vitality, HOs'etter 5

case. Then vigor would return to their debli-

food, were it ever SO coarse, and refreshing

Utilization of Feathers.

Quite a valuable industry is now car
rled on in France in the utilization of
the various kinds of feathers formerly
treated as worthless, especially those OBJ
tanned IN plucking ducks. chickens.
turkeys. and those of wild fowl and
other birds killed as game. The plan
pursued consists in trimming these, par
ticularly the larger ones, off the stump,
which may be thrown away, the plumes
being then made use of in the manufac-
ture of feather cloth or blanket which
possesses the essential quality of beng
exceedingly light and at the same time
very warm. The plumes which are
separated from the stalk are placed in a
bag. closed tightly, and then subjected
to rubbing between the hands, as in
washing clothes. In a few minutes the
fibres are by this means separated from
each other and form a perfectly homo
geneous and very light down, appli-
cable by simple operation to the pro-
duction of quite a variety of coverings

"REMINISCENCES OF ARTHUR.

In some "reminiscences of President
Arthur, the Washington correspondent
Of The Cleveland Leader says: ''Arthur
was admitted to the bar at % years of
age. He began his practice at New York,
and the total amount of his savings at
this time was $500. He first made
partnership with congressman named
Culver, who was noted as patron of the
underground railway. Three years later
he formed partnership with Henry d.
Gardner, and the two concluded to start
West to look up good location for prac-
ticing. They thought Kansas was the
best field, they travelled in all about four
months, visiting Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Missouri as well. The story
of their trip lies before me. They found
Omaha little village, and Leavenworth,
away ahead of it in size. The political
discussion was very lively in Kansas in
1857, and at political meeting in Lea
venwortn, which Mr. Arthur attended,
some one IN The crowd called the speaker
liar. The speaker retorted, and instant
~ pistol was fired Pistol shots then
came from all parts of the crowd and Mr..
Arthur, in speaking of this atfray lately,
says that 1t WAS a surprise that 10 one
was "OIHutu, Though iWeuI,t OI tDtItN
shots were fired Mr. Arthur remained
i'll Leavenworth some days, and he and
his friend bought 300 or 800 lots there.
They never made anything ont OF them,
however, for they sold them before the
great rise occurred. Leaving Ieaven-
worth, they went about to different parts
| of Kansas in stages, and it was at Law
renee that they met the noted kansan
general, Jim Lane. They rode with
Lane some distance, and Arthur says
that wherever Lane went crowd of
boys from twelve to sixteen years of age
followed, yelling, There goes Jim Lane;
let's hang him. Mr.. Arthur also met on
his trip Robert J. Walker, who was the
governor of Kansas, and who had been
secretary of the treasury. Walker
daughter married Attorney General
Brewster, and she was one of the bright
est ladies of the court circle of Arthur 8
administration. Another curious coinci-
dence OF this trip was in the name of the
hotel which he stayed at in Omaha. 1t
was known as the Herndon house, and
was called so in honor of the memory of
President Arthur's father-in law, Captain
William l.. Herndon, of the United States
| navy, who was lost at sea during that
year"
