The following is declared to be the work Of
"A pupil in an English elementary. school:
"Seamen nre what we call sailors, and cap
tins, and training ship boys. The sailors you
see in tho streets are nice little fat men. with
red and brown faces. They ware boys coats
and hats, and their trousers are too tite for
them up above and too wide for them down
below 1t makes them feel very riled. Sailors
don't ware golfers, becose their neclSs are 80
thick; and they always have their boots
lacked for fear the captain might see them
round corner. They don't carry there best
close in boxes, but they ty them up in big
red and blue handkerchiefs just like Christ

mothers and sisters, and you neerly always
see them taking them out for walk. Tho

it makes them roll about like as If they was

Rapid Mail Transit.

Three hundred miles an hour is the pro-
posed speed for the electric postal railroad of
the future. An experimental limo has been
erected at Laurel, twenty miles from Balti-
more, Md. A compromise between the pneu-
matte tube and the ordinary railroad carries
miniature train of two cars solely for mails
and light parcels, without any attendance
The road has three rails-one above the car
for carrying the current, and two below
which carry the cars The cars are built of
sheet iron, and are two feet square and TWEEN
ty-one feet long. Speed will be regulated and
power or brakes applied by electricity sole
ly. II the experiment at Laurel succeeds, it
is stated that similar roads will bo laid be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, and else

Some timc ago when Janisch, the pretty
Austrian actress, was playing in New Or
leans, she visited one Of the engine houses. 1t
was proposed for her especial benefit to call
out the fire company as regular answer to
an alarm. The madame was invited to seat
on the hose carriage, where she could better
watch the firemen as they slid down the pole
into their places on the engine. All uncon.
scious, she lifted her dainty skirts and climbed
up into q seat. The alarm was sounded, the
fremen came tumbling down, tho big horses
sprang into their places and before Janisch
could say Jack Robinson, +" she was whirled
out Of the engine house and up St Charles
avenue, clinging to the driver and shrieking

experience was altogether genuine surprise
to the actress and one that she will not likely
forget. New Orleans Picayune.

Tho Empress Epgenie's Necklace.

Worth says he once supplied the Empress
Eugenie with several fancy costumes. One
was that of Juno, and another the splendid
dress of dogaressa, or wife OF the dogc Of
Venice For this last named toilet she caused
to be fashioned the necklace in diamond net
work, with eatimitation pear shaped pearl
suspended in each interstice of the network,
which was sold among the crown jewels, and
the fact of the pearls not being real createda
good deal Of talk at the time Of the sale. She
never wore this authentic and picturesque,
but cumbersome, ornament She tried 1t on
several times, but it always married the effect
Of her costume. 1t was sold for $4,000, a
price far beyond Its intrinsic value

 Robert took one of Gisele's hands in his, and, interrupting her, said, in a calm voice:
 Do not praise my exploit so much, for the act which you applaud was performed for my own sake rather than yours. If am brave, as now you evidently think me, con- fcss that l am not without fear that l shall not always be able to accede to your desires, and as it would pain me to cross so charming woman, l renolnce the honor of being your husband"
 As soon as they returned to the cottage, the party started for Paris. When they reached Gisele's home Robert bade her goodbye with a profound bow. On entering the house Gisele found the superb bo- quet which she was accustomed to receive each day from Robert; i, was the last. Giselc has never married. - Translated for The Epoch from the French.

THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
What a Distinguished Editor Has
 to Say Upon the Subject.

In an address delivered at the meeting of the Missouri Press Asso- citation, held at Nevada, MT. Charles II. Jones, of the St. Louis Republic, said: The country newspaper was the real school of journalism, and that the places of the metropolitan editors, as they passed away, were to be filled from that school. The man who aspired to be journalist must have clear ideas as to what news is, what news shall be covered and what the function of the newspa- per i'll its relation to pubhc opinion is. In its earlier stages the newspa- per was almost exclusively medium for the expression of opinion, but the idea gradually dawned that the people wanted events and doings.
 The speaker defined news as an event of happening so striking in itself or so unusual in it's incidents or surroundings as to challenge the attention of considerable n";sas Der of hearers or readers when placed before them. Local newspapers stimulate the habit of reading, and are in this way an advantage to the metropolitan press. The field of local journalism should be left to the local press, and the local newspapers should be heartily supported, for it does for the community what no other agency can.
 The speaker characterised as a l tradesman that man who first ascer- tains the sentiment of the public and then follows in Its wake. That man who follows the dictates of his own conscience and stands for what he believes to be right, even though he is compelled in doing so to breast the storm of popular passion, illustrates the highest ideal of a calling, which is as genuinely profession, with as distinct a code of ethics and as lofty 8 standard nt conduct as the law, medicine or the ministry. Mir. Pulitzer's profit from the World last year was over $500, ,000. He is about to erect World building, to cost S1 ,000, ,000, on a lot which cost S130,- GOO, and yet Mr, Pulitzer admits that he is disappointed man. His | success is of the kind which has not brought him the respect and esteem of those whose respect is worth hay ing. He cannot make and unmake Presidents or dictate party policies as he expected. With it's vast cir culation his paper has not the intlu- ence of many country journal. He has been a waiter to the public in- stead of a public teacher,

One Kind of Pensioner.

No man ought to receive q pension who is capable of earning respecta- ble living for himself and those de- i pendent on him, or who has accumu- lated competence. Yet the govern ment IS to-day paying thousands of dollars to men who. were these con ditions imposed, would be precluded from receiving dollar. In Taylor county, Ky, few days ago one Bill Hash ordered his daughter to make hin a whisky toddy. Whether the girl failed to put enough liquor in it to suit him or whether some of the other ingredients were not properly adjusted is not known, but her ac- complishment as bar-keeper did not please her dissolute dad, and he shot her through the back The account in local paper says: "IIe is farmer, was a Federal soldier. is a pensioner, and in good fix"
 How many such unworthy names as this are upon the pension rolls How disgraceful to American man. hood, independence and self-reiance is the system which implies that to have been a soldier exempts man from assuming his proportion of society's burden What degrad- ing and venal estimate this puts upon sacrifice, bravery and patriotism! There are thousands of men who nobly defended their conntry's inter- ests, who blush to realize the pcrni- cious pension policy of the Repnbli- can party and it's results, but those who are to he reached through an appeal to their baser nature seem to be in the majority Courier Jour nal.

In Justice Court.

New Ulm will have her police pro-
tected, s said Justice A. Westphal as he
had Julius and Otto Hartneck arraigned
before him. The prisoners had assault
ed night Waterman e. Pfeiffer, who had
ordered them to keep peace, and had
beaten F. Regelin, an innocent person
present at the scandal.
For assault and battery they were
sentenced to payment Of $25 and costs
or twenty five days in jail, and for the
battery Of the police to $50 and costs or
fifty days in Jail. Not being able to
pay either they were walked off to the
calaboose, where they enjoyed the holi-
days and are given time to commit to
memory the initial words Of the cadi.
The lesson given these thoughtless
cnlprits viii no doubt exert whole
some influence in certain quarters and
serve to establish peace.
