THE printersat Norfolk, Virginia,
are making war on the stereotyped
matter sold In columns ut d veft
low rate to newspapers; and intend
ed to sove cost Of clipping, editlngj
type-setting aud prOoEreading.
Naturally, c%ompOsitOrs have no.
where been inclined to encourage
the production or the use of these
patent plates, inasmuch as the en-
ployment OF this matter frequently
obvlateS the necessity of hiring
more than One.fOurth the force
of printers otherwise required. The
Norfolk Typographical Union has
therefore passed % law which pro.
vides that newspapers employing
hands belonging to the Union must
when they use such plates, pay the
composItot the same per thousand
ems for handling the plates as if
they we're set up In the Office.
The fact Is that the use of this
is not to the interest either
good newspaper work, the appear
lnce of the journal itself, or the
pleasure of the readers. 1t gives a
paper Il cheap, aboriginal look. Nor
lOes it deceive even the ordinary
reader. The difference between the
;ype from which the plates were cast
md the type set up By the newspa-
,er's own hands is so obvious that
he most inexperienced eye can
letect the disparity. The practice
ends to make the country editor
90 forgettul OF the pride he should
eel in bright, original work.

amused at thelatest story told of him
on the coast where he has taken up his
home. Recently the old fighter had
occasion to inspect the Indian Reser
walton on the Klamath, and on his
way Up electrified the ungodly but
kindly disposed teamsters and packers
with q series of hymns, from NINETY
and Nine'' to 'sPull for the Shore" all
sung in the roundest tones of his rich
baritone voice. The ears of the pack
ers were amazed. Thesongs they were
accustomed to hearing were on entire
~ different subjects. The men grew
restless under the fusillade of hallelu-
jahs, and finally meeting was called
in the tent of Jim Stokes, the head
teamster. A committee of one was
appointed to file g. protest with the
grizzled major general. compliments

A Persian Bride.
IFrom the London Society.

Although the bride was very young,
having, at the most, seen sixteen sum.
mers, rouge, alas, was no stranger
ever to her pretty face! Her hair,
which was jet black and very long, was
plated into a number of tiny tails, the
ends of which peeped forth from under
the chagat of folded white linen she
wore on her head. Nothing can ex-
this head gear. 1t is merely a square
piece of muslin or cotton folded cor
nerwise, and tightly fastened with g
pin or tiny brooch under the chin,
with two ends hanging down the back,
and the remaining two falling over the
breast. Over this again is worn the
house veil. which envelopes the whole
figure; it is q large square or rounded
piece of muslin or gay patterned
chintz, and is not fastened on, but
simply kept in it's place by the arms.
Her volumipous skirt was of white
and York striped satin, handsomely
trimmed with gold lace, and reached
only half way to the knees; The legs
were bare. Often as many as twenty
yards of silk or satin are employed for
these skirts, which are gathered into a
band at the waist, and are worn over
four Or five petticoats very much stiff
fened. The more skirt stands out
the morefashionableit is. The bodice
is loose sort of jacket of silk or vel
vet trimmed with gold lace, the sleeves
are long, and terminate in pointed
cuff that turns back, reaching nearly
to the elbow. This is worn over q cal
leo or linen shirt. Although all
dresses agree in their leading features,
and the fashions never change in the
East as they do in the West, yet they
differ to great extent in detail, and
afford scope for the peculiar taste or
fancy of the wearer.

A New England Sharpshooter.
[From the Lewiston Journal.


A Lewiston man who travels for q
Providence firm was driving along g.
country road not far from Lewiston g.
short time ago, when rabbit popped
out of the bushes and ran across the
road. eff that fellow does that again,
I'll have shot at him and lay him
OUT" said he to his friend on the
wagon seat. They drove along half
g. mile, when, behold! in the road in
front of them sat another Bunny on
his launches looking uptheroad away
from them. The team was stopped
and the wary hunter with his revolver
in his hand drew up as close to him as
possible and fired. The rabbit didn't
move. He fired again and the rabbit
sat as calm as clock. Again he fired,
and there was no movement. The
friend laughed until he could hardly
sit on the wagon seat, and then by the
way of suggestion remarked that it
looked to him as if somebody had shot
the RABBIT and set him up in the road
to fool somebody. The fourth shot
was fired without success, and then,
by way of making certain, the Lewis
ton man picked up g. stone and threw
it at the rabbit and then took q step
toward him. The stone struck pretty
near the rabbit and raised a puff of
dust, out of which shot q frightened
rabbit for the thicketo Therabbit had
only to be reminded.

Cutting Timber I'm August.

Experience has shown us that the
best time to cut timber for posts, rails
or stakes, is in August. The bark will
then come off readily, and the wood
becomes harder and endures longer
than if cut at any other season.
Hickory never makes a good post Or
stake, as it rots rapidly in the ground
or on it, and if cut when the bark ad-
heres, will soon rot, or likely be cut to
pieces before 1T can rot, by worms.
But If cut in August, very few, If any
trees, make q more durable rail for
off the ground. The bark drops off,
and the wood becomes so hard that
it "jingles" when struck, while the
worms do not attack it. Hickory
and Kept off the ground, will last for
fifty years.
White oak makes q durable rail or
post, cut aJ any season. but it's dura-
bility is increased at least fifty per
cent by cutting in August. "Pin oak"
is unfit for posts, or for rails either,
on or off the ground, when the tree
has died, and is entirely unfit for posts,
and almost unfit for rails if cut when
the sap is not flowing; but rails made
from a pin oak tree, cut in August,
will last at least twenty years off the
ground. What is true of pin oak is
true of red elm. If cut in August it is
as durable as hickory or white oak,
as long as it is not set in or on the
ground. White elm is fit for firewood
only, no matter at what time it is cut,
and this is true of wild cherry also.
With but few exceptions the gain by
cutting in August is sufficient to COM
pensate for cutting at that time. 1t
Is not necessary that therails or posts
be split out then. The trees may be
felIed only, and the further work be
put off until cooler weather. But 1t is
better to split the trunk into rails or
posts for later use as soon as felled;
the wood will then season rapidly, and
the highest point OF durability is at.
tanned.
