The three great requisites for a woman
journalist are good health, good sense
and good temper. Armed with these
any girl who really wishes to enter jour
nalism and has a knack at writing may
hope for success. There is always a mar
ket for the best work, and editors are
progressive people, who recognize fully
the growing need of feminine representa-
ton in the newspapers whose readers are
so largely women. For women in gen
eral read the papers and more
every year, and those among them who
have an instinct which tells them what
the rest wish to read may hope for a
hearing for what they have to say. This
suggests the naming of an indispensable
factor in journalism which is hard to de
scribe to the outside aspirant. Among
writers for the daily press it is called
"the newspaper nose" and unless one
one has his nose, at least in a rudiment-
airy stage, one need not expect to make a
good journalist. In other words, unless
one has a gift at discrimination. of know
ing what people want to read, of grasp
ing the spirit of the week, so to speak,
one can not become a good newspaper
writer. no matter what capabilities she
may have in what is called distinctively
literary work.-Boston Record.

THE QUALIFIED NEGATIVE.

To read the comments ola virulent parti-
san press on the recent action of the presi-
dent one not familiar with the institutions.
or conversant with the history of the
country might easily infer that such ac-
ton has been not only an unwisc, but
also an unwarranted exercise of power.
The fact that it is vested in him by the
constitution-an instrument which his
critics neither read nor regard and its
exercise must necessarily rest solely in his
own discretion, otherwise the executive
ceases to be an independent branch OF
the government. The veto power. as it
is strongly termed, consists in the right,
which involves the duty, to return for con
sideration any bill which he may think
Improper or unconstitutional, with his Oh
jections, for reconsideration. and it is pro
vided that a bill, so returned, shall not
become "A law, unless upon reconsidera-
ton, it be approved by two thirds of both

arbitrary tribunitian ''veto. the power is

as such, TO furnish additional security

Proper Temperature for Brain Workers.
Without thought, it would seem nat
ural that the temperature in which we
live in the house should approach more
nearly to that of the external atmos-
phere; but n little consideration demon
strates the necessity of a very much hot

ual custom of northern nations to main
tain this state of caloric. While out of
doors every effort is made to develop,
and then to preserve a comfortable
warmth of the body. This requires an
incalculable amount of nerve force,
which, added to the physical expendi-
ture, c~urtails an exhaustive loss of vi
tally not easily repaired. When in the
house this state of things is reversed, or
should be. Weary with the struggle
outside to keep from freezing or chilling,
the houss heat must be so great and
genial hat the wanderer may relax ut
terly, may sit, stand, or lounge, with no
fear or question as to his personal COM
fort. The e must be great enough to
warrant a reduction of outside gar
ments.
This is especially essential to brain
workers. who canno be hampered with
extra clothing. The latter, in their
cramped, statue-like positions at the
desk must have, in addition, foot-muffs
or extra large tleece-lined overshoes to
keep them in temper and ideas hat cold
feet NAV rob them of. The heat should
be equalized throughout the house and
it's halls, that the strain to be comfort
able may not be n repetition of that. nrA-
