PrcstOn's Map.

The Geographical and Topographic
al map of Preston county, executed by
Prof. Webb, of West Virginia Univer-
sity, for the county, to be executed at
the State Fair at Wheeling, now in
possession Of Mr.. Morley, is b cauti-
tiful piece of work-showing in de-
tail the different strata-coal, lime.
sandstone, ETC., exposed in our county.
Also contour lines showing relative
attitudes of principal mountains, drain
age, coal area, and in fact all person
would like to know concerning the
county. The map is about feet by
s feet.
While the map is well executed and
reflects credit upon its maker, still we
have a civil engineer in our own town
who is competent to do just MS good
work as Mr.. Webb, and should have
been employed by the agents of the
county. IL seems as though the idea
that nothing can be properly done by
our home talent will never leave some
of our citizens. Why try to boom
county unless we boom its citizens as
well? Give our home talent chance
and Preston county's sons and
daughters will stand continually in the
first rank.

WHAT SOME PERSONS DO
NOT READ.

The question has been more than
once raised. do women read the edi-
torials in the weekly newspaper? To
this it has been answered, perhaps
some do, but many do not. The opinion
has been expressed that not more than
one woman in ten stops to read the
general editorials in the weekly paper
when the daily city paper is at hand.
She hastily takes up the weekly,
chances over the column or two made
up of three to six-line items, and if she
discovers any bit of neighborhood news
that particularly strikes her attention
she reads it carefully; but if she sees
no mention of names or Of events in
which she has an interest she throws
down the paper and exclaims. "There
is nothing worth reading in the news
paper this week." At the same time
there may have been editorial articles
Ah thO PopCA WAACA CO0t tuo CulIOk
hours of close thought and application
to put into good English and readable
shape-articles especially intended for
the benefit of women. There is q sort
of hallucination that nothing original
coming from the editor of the home
paper can be instructive or of great
Importance. When the local items,
such as marriages, deaths and society
events, are exhausted in the weekly
it is only at to be thrown aside as
waste paper. For reading Of higher
order, the metropolitan journals and
popular magazines are sought after.
Men have their reading peculiarities
as well as women. How most men
read may be the subject of another
chapter.

THE WOOL TARIFF.

We once more remind those who
contribute articles for the TELEGRAPH,
unless of fresh Importance. they should
be short. The wool tariff has already
received more attention through the
press than any other one article claim
ing tariff protection.
1t is reasonable to assume that the
class of people in the United States in
the business of wool growing are as
intelligent and well informed as those
engaged in any other industrial pur-
suits. They being the class directly
interested in the wool tariff, it is fair
to conclude that they have studied the
wool tariff as thoroughly at least as
those interested in other matters. The
decision at which the wool growers
have arrived at in the states and dis.
tricts in which conventions have been
held. taken collectively, is overwhelm-
ingly in opposition to the removal OF
the wool tariff.
