csnsure and Criticism. Sunday school Times.

A noble disposition eager for self improvement will accustom itself to court censure as frankly as most peo- pie court commendAtion. It will not merely receive with grace and accept, but 1t will use censure. Whether the strictures be from the soul of enemy or friend whether prompted by love, sympathy, pity, jealousy or malice; whether they bear the impress of A re- fined or e vulgar spirit; whether just to the point or entirely untimely; whether chiefly true or chiefly false; whether conveyed in general terms or specihcally-makes little difference. They are an eye-glance from outside into the self, too valuable to be con- temptuously discarded. Possibly they point a deep lesson for us. If the blame does not hit the mark In this instance, we may vividly recall in- stances In our past when we were standing just where 1t would have pierced us, had 1t come at that time, and we are able to impress on our soul warning lesson for the future. And even If the censure Is SO unde- served that 1t fails to remind us of any thing erroneous in what we have been, and fails to open up to us any weakness in what we are, it neverthe- less still serves tho important purpose Of revealing to us what some one out side Of us thinks we are. Let us strive in every case of censure so to restrain our personal feelings as to be able, without regard to the motives in the critic that prompted It's utterance, to reap for our improvement the full benefit of that insight which the cen- sure may open up to us.

Some Big Editors.
Exchange.

But, speaking of editors, New York is peculiarly conditioned, says a cor respondent, writing from that city. Take the great morning papers, we have but two really resident editors, and one of them edits only the cash books of his concern. do not count the Press or the Sur, but perhaps would be justified in putting the Press in the list. Take them as they lie along Park Row, with their editors and their editors whereabouts, they show up as follows: The Herald, James Gordon Bennett, non-r resident, Europe; the World, Joseph Pulitzer, non- resident, Europe; the Tunes, George Jones, resident but does not edit his paper, that duty devolving upon Charles R. Miller; the Tribune, Whitelaw Reid, non-r resident, lives in France; the Sun, Charles A. Dana, resident, edits his paper with consid- erable vigor as opponents sometimes discover the Morning Journal, Albert Pulitzer, nonresident, Tn Europe. The Morning Press, Robert P. Porter, resident, but chiefly engaged upon the new census work, and has little or nothing to do with the paper. MT. Bennett, of course, takes the medal as 6 non- resident, as he has religiously .absented himself from his sanctum here for over fifteen years, with brief visits sprinkled in, averaging perhaps once year, but the light burns over his desk in the corner room every night of the year, whether MT. Bsn- nett is frolicking in Paris, speeding along the Mediterranean, hunting mahdi in Egypt, or keeping himself out of the evenings bands in New York. He edits the paper every night, or at least is supposed to, whether he knows the contents or not. With an institution that has gained much momentum with years, he can entrust 1t to capable lieutenants and luxuriate on the proceeds in any foreign cline his fancy may dictate.

Tea-Tasteing.

The art of tea tasteing in commercial houses, which formerly proved detri- mental to the health of so many men, has now been reduced to such accuracy that the tasting part of it has been practically eliminated in all but the name, according to the New York Tribune, and the tea is tested now by sight and smell. Boiling water is first poured on an accurately measured portion of the leaves. In a few minutes the liquid shows some tint of green or brown, and the length of this time and the shade of the color pro- duced are important elements in the test. The tester then, with the aid of 8 spoon, inhales the rising steam from the mixture. This is called "getting the aroma" and is the most important part of the test. He may, perhaps, in some cases, actually taste the liquid, but this is no longer generally done. Color, aroma, and the "liquoring" qualities of the tea are sufficient grounds to judge by. The old time tea -taster was high-salaried expert, who frequently ended his career with heart disease or fits, the result of slow poisoning from the quantities of adulterated tea he tasted; but now, as rule, every merchant tests his own teas by the recent and approved method.

A WILDCATS AWFUL LEAP.

"Fve seen it disputed in the papers that & wildcat, or catamount, can make leap of twenty five feet" said a resident of Sullivan county to New York Sun man, "and 1 would like to mention what saw a wildcat do once. I was trout fishing on one of the upper tributaries of thu Beaverkill and had clambered down into 6 deep ravine to get at tempting pool at the foot of fall, whG re l was sure my casts would be rewarded by the kill ing of some big trout. I was not mistaken as to that. Ihad landed four trout, the smallest one eighteen inches long, and sat down to rest the pool Both sides of the ravine were perpen- dicular walls of rock, probably twenty five feet high. The summit ot the wall on the side of the creek opposite to me sloped back gradually from its edge for several feet to heavy growth of pine.
 "As was sitting at the bottom of the ravine happened to glance up to the top of the rocks opposite me and saw & hen pheasant, accompanied by her newly matched brood, come out of the pines and scratch and peck her way along the sloping open space, hunting food for her young, which clustered closely about her. The pheasant came very close to the preci- pice, and it seemed to me that she was placing her brood in a most dan- gerous position when she turned as if to walk back with them to the pines. The instant she turned something like 8 shadow flitted across the top of the ravine, and half a second later saw an enormous wildcat clinging to the edge of the opposite wall by its fore feet, holding the pheasant between its jaws. The wildcat struggled for a moment to drag himself from the edge of the abyss to 6 sure footing on the top of the rocks, but his effort was in vain, and he came crashing down the face of the precipice still holding the luckless pheasant in his jaws. He fell with & splash in the water and lay motionless at the edge of the pool.
 "I supposed that the animal had been watching the pheasant from the bushes on top of the rocks opposite where the bird had appeared with her brood, and at his opportunity had leaped across to seize her, but had miEudged the distance, and fallen short with the result so fatal to him.
 "The whirl of the water brought the wildcat around in 6 short time to the side where was standing, and as was bending down to examine him I saw a man with a gun scrambling down the rocks. The man soon reached my side, and then learned that he had shot the wildcat as the animal was flying across the chasm upon his prey. Sure enough, just at the base of the animals brain was the hole made by the rifie-ball. The hunter had been following the wild
The Arkansaw traveler., 1889-07-13

cat for some time, and had lost track of him, but came near the edge of the ravine in time to see hin make his leap and follow him with the bullet. It was that which had stopped the animal short in the tremendous leap it had calculated on, or it would have cleared the space with safety and doubtless with ease. The wildcat was in reality almost in his death throes when he struck the pheasant, which he clung to with the clutch of death, and still held in his mouth when we dragged him out of the water. We measured the width of the chasm across which the wildcat had made his death leap. The measurement was forty three feet"

To sell any ordinary med icine under such a guarantee would bankrupt Its proprietors, but with the "Golden Medical Discovery" all that Is asked for 1t is 6 fair trial, and if 1t don't do all that 1t is advertised to, the manufacturers will cheeriully and promptly refund all money paid for 1t.
