Dana's MaXinls.

Editor Dana of the New York Sun
lays down the following maxims for the
guidance of newspaper men:
FirSt-Get the news, and get all the
news and nothing but the news.
Second-Copy nothing from another
publication without complete credit.
Third-Never print an interview
without the knowledge and consent of
the party interviewed.
Fourth-Never print paid advertise
ment as news matter. Let every adver-
tisement appear as an advertisement
no sailing under false colors.
FVth-Never attack the weak or the
defenceless, either by argument, by in
vective or by ridicule, unless there is
some absolute public necessity for so
doing.
Sirth-Fight for your opinions, but
don't believe they contain the whole
truth or the only truth.
Serenh-Support your party, if you
have one, but do not think all the good
men are in it and all the bad ones out
side of it
Eighth-Above all, know and believe
that humanity is advancing and that
there is progress in human life and hui
man affairs, and that, as sure as God
lives, the future will be greater and
better than the present or the past.

Medical HumOr.

The celebrated French physician,
Ricord, was one day walking along the
Boulevard in Paris when he met an
old gentleman who was very rich, but
who was at the same time noted for his
extreme stinginess. The old man, who
was somewhat of hypochondriac, i'm
agined that he could get some medical
advice from Ricord without paying for it.
" Doctor, | am feeling very poorly"
" Where do you suffer most?" a" In
my stomach, DOCTOR" "Ah, that's
bad. Please shut your eyes. That's
right. Now put out your tongue, so |
can examine it closely" The invalid
did as he was told. After he had waited
patiently for about ten minutes, he
opened his eyes and found himself sur
rounded by crowd who supposed that
he was crazy. DIR. Ricord, in the mean
time, had disappeared.-IeraS Sytings.

The Wild Pigeon.

Is the passenger pigeon at pres
ent a summer boarder in Vermont, or
has it found better board in the West
and left Vermont out Of its list of sum-
mer resorts? In early life | used to
see occasionally flocks of pigeons here,
but do not recollect now TO have seen
flock for many years. My son, who
observes birds more than | do, says he
never saw wild pigeon in Vermont,
but did see them in Pennsylvania during
our residence there some fifteen years
ago. In a recent article in the WATCH
MAN it is said that at a certain time in
the earlier history of New England
millions of pigeons alighted on the
trees and filed the granaries." This
statement, understand, pertains to an
extraordinary visitation of these birds,
but it would seem from some authori
ties that they do not form strong local
attachments, food supply having a
stronger attraction for them than any
familiar haunt. In this view it would
not be strange if they should be largely,
if not wholly, drawn away from New
England at the present. Audubon is
credited with saying: g Indeed it hap
pens sometimes that continuance of
a sufficient supply of food in one dis
trict will keep these birds absent from
another for years. / know at least to
a certainty that in Kentucky they re-
manned for several years constantly
and were nowhere else to be found.
They all disappeared one season sud-
denly when the mast was exhausted,
and thus did not return for a long
period. The same facts have been OBJ
served in other states" Thompson's
Natural History of Vermont, p. 100, I'M
der The Passenger Pigeon" Columbia
miqrdtOrid, says: When the country
was new there were many of their
roosts and breeding-places in this state.
Richard Hazen, who run the line be-
tween this state and Massachusetts in
1741, stated that to the westward of
Connecticut river he found pigeons
nests so thick upon the beech-trees
that 500 could be counted at one
time. Pigeons are much less
abundant in Vermont than formerly,
but they now QS42) in some years
appear in large numbers" Since the
date at which Thompson wrote it
seems likely that these birds have be-
come still more infrequent in this state,
if in fact they have not left the state
altogether, to return perhaps in the
good time coming, when Vermont can
set as good table as the West can now
for these festive eaters. If the pigeons
have not enough of the aesthetic in
their nature to attach them to the
scenery of the Green Mountain State,
there is no lack of other birds, of better
taste and less craving appetites. to
adorn with their plumage and cheer by
their songs. Though less accessible
than flowers, and consequently not so
easily studied, these " denizens of air ~
will repay some attention on the part
of those who desire to make the most
of their beautiful natural surroundings.

Southern California.

A late article by Charles Dudley
Warner in the Atlantic Monthly opens
in the following humorous fashion: sit
has been subject of regret ever since
that l did not buy southern California
when / was there last March and sell
it out the same month. | should have
made enough to pay my railway fare
back and purchase provisions to last
through the deserts of sand and feeding
places, and had money left to negotiate
for one of the little states on the Allan
tic coast and settle down in such plain
living and civilization as it might afford.
1t was all offered TO me, but hesitated,
and before the end of the month it was
beyond my reach. There is not much
of little more than what you may
call strip of irrigated sand between
the Mohave Desert and the Pacific
ocean; and if you do not secure por-
ton of it now it will be forever beyond
your means, for there is but one Cali
fornia in the world Gone ought to know
this, after hearing it hundred times a
day., and everybody has got to have ,
some of it. There is nowhere else to
90 in the winter. Travellers who have
been in southern Italy, in north Africa,
in Sicily, in Florida, in Greece, in Ma
deira, in Jamaica, in Bogota, in the
Piney Woods, are perfectly open in tell
ing you this. There is no climate like
it. But it is rapidly going into the
hands of investors, climate and all. If
the present expectations of transferring
half-frozen eastern and northern peo-
pie there by the railway companies and
landowners are half realized, southern
California, in its whole extent, will
soon present the appearance of mass
meeting, each individual fighting for a
lot and for his perpendicular section
of climate. In year, perhaps in six
months from now, you might as well
attempt TO buy plot in London city,
near the Bank, on which to set out an
orange grove and some pepper trees, as
to get foothold in the Garden of the

its climate is in winter. 1t is sufficient
to hint to prudent folks that there are
many people in the world, that there is
but one California and that there is
not room enough in ii for all. Some
body is going to be left out. There il

Eye Mindedness and Ear Mindedness.

1t goes without saying that every one
will probably have hint (though often
only slight one) as to the sensory bent
of his apperceptive processes, especially
any one engaged in mental labor. If
he is visionaire " he will have noted
how much better he remembers what
he reads than what he hears; that he
often remembers the position of word
on a page; will, perhaps, have a good
memory for forms and faces; will find
that he can easily read while talking is
going on; that he readily gets absorbed
a hundred ways. The auditaire "
will note that lecture impresses him
more deeply than a review article; that
he imagines the sounds of the words as
he reads or writes (and is usually thus
slow reader); that he repeats aloud
what he has written, to judge of its
effect-he wants to know how cit
sounds " even when it is only to be
read; he observes harsh sound-com-
binations in style (the visionaire " OBJ
serves misprints); talking easily dis
turbs him when reading or writing, his
attention being involuntarily drawn to
the conversation; he may have good
memory for tunes, and so on. Those
who approach the motor or the in
different type will have greater difficulty
in discerning this by hap-hazard OBJ
servation. The above are, of course,
only general descriptions; they will be
variously modified in individual cases,
but will retain a typical appearance
throughout. Enough has been said to
indicate the diversity of various minds
in these respects, and the importance
of recognizing and studying these dis
tinctions, alike for their educational
utilization and as a contribution to a
scientific psychology.-ProtesSor Joseph

Moss.

Strange tapestry by nature spun
on viewless looms, aloof from SUM-
And spread through lonely hooks and gfots
Where shadows reign and leafy rest
oh, moss, of all your dwelling-spots,
In which one are you loveliest?
Is it when near grim roots that coil
Their snaky black through humid soil?
Or when you wrap in woodland glooms
The great prone pine trunks rotted red?
or when you dim. on sombre tombs,
The requiescats " of the dead?
Or is 1t when your lot Is cast
In some quaint garden of the past
ON some gray, crumbled basins brim,
with conches that widowed tritons blow
While yonder. through the poplars prim,
Looms up the turreted chateau
Nay, loveliest are you when time weaves
Your emerald films ON low, dark leaves.
Above where pink porch roses peer
And woodbnes break In fragrant foam
And children laugh and you can hear
The beatings of the heart of home.

WORTH KNowING.-Mr. w. II. Morgan,
merchant, Lake City, Fla, was taken with
a severe cold attended with a distressing
cough and running into consumption in its
first stages. He tried many so-called popu-
lar cough remedies and steadily grew worse.
Was reduced in flesh; had difficulty in
breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally
tried DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption and found immediate relief, and
after using about half-dozen bottles found
himself well and has had no return of the
disease. No other remedy can show so
grand record of cures as DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Guaranteed to
do just what is claimed for it, Trial bottle
