From the Glasgow Herald
The cost Of sinking well at Baku
ranges from El, 900 TO fi,500 What can
be obtained for such an expenditure may
be illustrated by the result Of boring the
Droojba. well, which cos, el,50O. This
spouted for ll5 days, the yield being 3,400
tons day for forty-three days, 1000 tons
day for thirty-one days, 900 tons for
thirty and 600 tons for eleven days. The
well was then capped over and the supply
kept under ground for further wants. Tho
total amount OF oil sponted by this well,
according TO the lowest estimate, was 220,-
600 tons, or 10000, 600 gallons, and, ac-
coriing TO the highest, SOC, 900, or 1885,

where women Arc Inxisib,o.

One cannot live long in India, or at least
In the Bengal presidency. without being
struck by the fact that one never sees any
native women above the rank of the laboring
class. 1t emphasizes in a curious way the
difference between eastern and western Gus
toms. You see handsome carriages driving
in the parks, and you instinctively expect to
sec ladies in them; but the occupants are In
variably men-almost invariably fat men
sleek rotundity being looked on favorably as
visible sign of wealth and dignity. You
are invited to magnificent fete at tho house
Of a native gentleman, where you are re-
ceived by the host and his sons and uncles and
his male kinsmen of all degrees; but there is
absolutely no sign Of the existenceo of any wo-
men. Nor must you commit SO grave a
breach Of decorum as to allude to mans
wife or daughters He ignores them, and
expects you to have tho courtesy to do tho
Same. -Cornhill Magazine

writer's for the Daily Press.

The daily press of New York is uniquely
situated ut the present moment. Every posi-
ton of any consequence on every paper ia
the city is fllled to the complete satisfaction
Of the proprietors. These positions are filled,
yet one who devotes his whole time to news
paper work is unable to find out who their
occupants are. Occasionally the name OF an
editor, or Of dramatic critic, is accidentally
learned. 1t is perfectly safe to say that every
editor and every dramatic critic In town
wants his name known by the people for
whom he writes. The silent subjugation of
these writers is the greatest affection of their
trade. 1t Is what restraints them from attain
ing their honest, appropriate level 1t is
what may often keep mediocrity in the fore
ground and superiority in the shadow.
The custom is responsible for that writing
found in newspapers TO which any self re-
specting man would be ashamed to put his
name. 1t is responsible for that torrent of
perpendicular twaddle against which nll in
telligent newspaper readers are constantly
entering objections. 1t keeps men In posi-
ton who do not deserve positions ON any
literary publication. A writer might do
twenty years of bad work on q newspaper,
and the readers would come TO accept It as d
necessary blemish on their journal, looking
at 1t as a bit Of machine made mediocrity,
But no man could do twenty years of bad
work over a signature. In very short time
the public would fix his status. Stupidity
over a signature could never sell itself for
two or three cents day for any length of
time.-C. NJ. s. Mcclellan in The Writer.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1888-11-21

The development Of luncheons and after
noon teas suggests to some minds fore
shadowing Of day when 8 o'clock dinner
will disappear altogether from the pro-
gramme of society, and when the antique
supper will be revived among US; when peo-
ple win go straight from the park TO the
opera or play; when morning dress will be
the fashion in our theatres, and every hour
of summer daylight will be utilized at gar
den parties and polo matches, riverside clubs
and suburban race courses, without the per-
petual tyranny Of getting home to dress for
dinner
Then will wit revive in the cooler air of
night, and supper tables and cotefies viii be
as brilliant as among tho bellies and the blues
Of the Walpolean epoch; then viii chicken
and champagne after tho play be the rule of
society, not the special privilege of the dra-
matte critic; and on the first night Of a new
play dozen Of the stateliest houses In Lon
don will be open to choppers In, with enter
tainment as largo and liberal as that which
Mr. Irving offers to his friends ON the stage
of the Lyceum. Then, too, will the little
supper-where the guests are In number not
moro than tho MUSES. or less than the Graces
--be again q sweetener Of daily life, q rest
after labor; the dainty but not too elaborate
meal at a round or oval table, the windows
open to the cool breath Of the night, and the
distant reverberation OF wheels in Piccadiliy
IA meal In which there should be less Of
ceremony and flunkeydom and greater free
dom Of speech; meal at which wo may de-
stroy half dozen regulations as lightly as
we shell tho prawns and with not any more III
nature To bring back the reign OF the mid
night supper we must needs eliminate the
o'clock dinner. Who will be the first to
mako the experimentf--London World.

woman,s yorI. IN cor.loa.

She takes pretty nearly the heaviest share
of the days labor, and though sometimes al
lowed voice In family matters, is never per-
mitted to show an independent will or wish
before strangers. Only too often however
she is mere cipher in family conclaves,
obeys her lord and masters behests, but does
not originate single idea. Out of doors the
men go forth TO work solemnly, gun in hand,
while the women walk behind carrying the
heavy tools or cumbersome wood fagots.
II the happy couple have TO climb a steep
and stony path, and they happen to possess
only one horse, it is the man who bestrides
the wiry limbed beast. while the wife may
consider herself lucky il she DO permitted to
catch hold Of the stirrup leather on the horses
tail.
Much has been said and written about the
stern and unreasoning jealousy of the Cor
sicans for their women As rule, they are
not given to frivolity, but after careful OBJ
servation we feel inclined to modify our
opinions Of the high instincts of the race in
this connection. True, a woman is sacred;
there is. however, very little sentiment in
this feeling. Shc is sacred because she is
mans chattel, and therefore an insult offered
to her Is an attack on mans honor. Hero
the green eyed monster Is slave and not
q master. Still, life outside the larger coast
towns may be considered pure enough. ---"G.
G. r." In Home Journal.

And yet it must be. The great city must
continually absorb the very best blood,
brain and Drawn OF tho country; and as the
woodsman selects from thousand sticks the
one which suits him to fashion into a thing
of ornament or use, and puts the nine hum
dred and ninety-nine into the fire, SO the great
city will honor one in each regiment of these
volunteer recruits and burn out all the rest
in making money and glory for that one.
There is not probably one great city in the
world that could sustain its rich life and
commercial energies on its native population.
1t is reasonably certain that family perma-
nently to catch on in a great city would in
time Idle out" or lose all its original traits,
unless each generation was recruited anew
by intermarriage with stocks more vigorous
because more recently fresh from the soil.
Tho city lures its rural volunteer recruits
with the great prizes, like those won by the
Goulds and Vanderbilts, and never lures in
vain; the country lads arc only too willing
TO accept tho ono chance in q thousand. New
York Letter.
