PECULIAR STOMACH.
A Yankee Woman Who Grows Fat ON /.
Diet Of Slate. Yencils.

"A Yankee Woman Who GrUws Fat ON .
Diet of Slate-Fencils.
"How much are s~late-pencilsa" asked q
woman as h stepped into q stationery
store yesterday morning.
"Ten cents a DOZEN"
'Give me II dozen"
Then, unwrapping the package, says tho
Auburn (Me.) Gazette, she deliberately be.
gan to cat the pencils. Yes, eat them-not
just chipping the ends with her teeth, as do
school-chiidrcn, but biting Of substantial
quartcr-inch pieces aud crushing and swal-
ing them with infinite relish. This was
quite u remarkable achievement for q staid,
matronly person, such as she appeared to
be, and naturally she was questioned con-
corning this strange propensity. From
what she said IN reply it seems that this un-
usual system of dict vas by no means con-
fined to s~late-peneils. Gravel is q STAPLE
article of food with her, properly strained
and assorted; oyster and clam shells and
friable sandstone she masticutcs AS q man
eats a soda cracker, and asks for moro. She
experiences an unexpiasnable craving for
such matter n fees coin,e.led to eat it.
The cdor of the dust raised III the streets by
passing vehicles arcuses in her much the
same sensation OF indispensable desire as
affects the senses Of tue inebriate when as.
sailed Dy the fumes OF q drarn-snop. There
Is nothing she likes better tnan to discover
q nice retired gravcl-pit and revel in tho
consumption of its products. "Oh, how I
should like to 20 to the sea-shore where
there Is lots OF clean, white sand" sighed
she. This extraordinary parsonage is o
OF about forty years of age, appar.
emily. and is easily described as a down.easr
Yankee mother Of q family. The only pc.
culiar thing about her looks is her COM
plexion, which is curiously pale-a.most
corpse-like in its pallor. She says she has
been accustomed to eat gravel aud suchllko
substances ever since she can remember.
She lives in Lewiston.
sThe only thing I can't eat" observed
this remarkable woman as she turned to
leave the store, sis paving-stones. They
break myteeth."

A Writer Of Some Cunceit Taken Down -
Fog Or Two.
There is All old story, writes Arlo Bates
in b Book Buyer, which relates that in
the early days Of 7. B.. Aldrich's editing of
the Atlantic his publisher, Mr.. Houg;iton.
who had, or pretended to have, some vague
literary aspirations, remarked { his new
editor, with an air half serious and hnli
je:ting:

written, but l shall send it under O fictitious
name"
'sThen," was Mr.. Aldrich's remark, 81

one is noend better than the other. They are
written n'the typewriter and I'll send the

considerations Of poetic Justice tho young

Every newspaper reporter in New
York is my personal friend. 1 have
been betrayed by about every class of
tel in the world, but never 10y a news
paper man, and l believe there is a
spirit of fairness abroad in the news
papers that is hardly TO be found any,
where else. There is no man, however
poor, if lie had been done all injustice,
that cannot get himself set Alright by
the newspaper. We find a great deal
of fault with the newspaper u Perhaps
by our own ind;stinctness we arc re-
ported ~ saying just what we did not
say, and there is a regular riot of COM
mas and scmicolons and periods, and
we get used to talking about the
LAUNDERING printing press Or some-
times we take mp q PAPER full Of social
scanda' and divorce cases, and we talk
about the filthy, scurrilous press; but
l could preach a whole sermon on the
everlasting blessings Of Il good news
paper. A good ncwspas er is the
srandcst temporal blessing that God
has given the people of this century.
In the first place, all the people read
the newspapers, and the newspapers
furnish the greater portion Of the
reading to the people. They don't
read books. The old people look for
the deaths, the young for the mar
riages, the business men repd the want
ads Great libraries make few intel
llgent men and women, but newspa-
ers lift the nations into sunlight. NV
idea of a good newspaper Is Il mirror of
life itself. Some people complain be-
cause the evil of the world is reported
as we'll as the good. The evil must be
reported as well as the good, or how
will we know what to guard against
or what TO reform? There is a chance
for discrimination as to how much
space shall he given to reports of such
things as prize fights, hut the newspa-
per that merely presents the fair and
the beautiful and the bright side of life
is a misrepresentation. That family is
hest qualified for the duties of life who
have told to them not o,.l,' what good
there is in the world, but what evil
there is i'll TIE world, and is told 10 se-
lect the good and reject the evil.
