THE heaviest SHOWS for many years
are reported in the north and east, and
in the northwest country. Trains are
blocked, and from many localities come
tales of great suffering and distress. In
the Rocky mountains it is said there is
now more snow than has been seen
there for many years.

MEXICO now imposes a tax upon
"drummers'' from the United States in
the shape of $25 license for every
city in which they sell goods. This tax
aggregates 5000 for the circuit of the
leading trading points. OF course the
price of goods is advanced sufficiently
to make up the tax, and in the end the
consumers pay the difference. Pro-
lection operates in Mexico just as it
does in the United States.

NEWSPAPER ETIQUETTE.
How You Can Make Yourself Solid with the
Editor.


1t very frequently happens that WISH
tors to a printing Office do things calcu-
lated to annoy some of the employees.
For the benefit of those we print few
rules:
When you enter printing office do
not handle the type in case. If you
want to handle it say so to the printer,
and he will be glad to leave his work
and empty the type upon the editors
table, where you can sit in his easy chair
and examine it at your leisure. Never
mind putting back the type-the printer
can do that after you have finished.
Don't read the proof sheets, clippings
or manuscript. If you wish to know
what is going to appear in the next is
sue of the paper, ask the editor to read
it aloud to you. He has plenty of time
and will be grateful to you for the chance
to quit his work and entertain you.
If you want to look over the cash book
have the editor go and get it for you.
Your interest will please him.
Never ask for a single copy. Discover
where they are kept and help yourself
to as many as you want. Above all
things do not offend the editor by ten
dering payment for them. 1t flatters
him to think you want to read it and it
is cruel to end his satisfying day-dream
by the mention of so worldly thing as
money. Besides, he only publishes it
for the glory there is in it.
Just help yourself to the exchanges.
If any are still in their wrappers take
them out, by all means. They contain
later news than the others.
Before going, make some pleasant re-
mark to the editor about how easy it is
to run paper, and express your sur
prise that he does not do it better. You
would leave an aching void in his heart
should you forget to do so.
If you are interested in seeing how
things look in type, have the printer
set up your name in the incest type in
the office, and then take it home with
you for curiosity. The editor likes
you to have memento of him. Other
peoples forgetfulness is the bane of his
existence.
Ask the editor, if you are perfect
stranger to him, to supply you with
duplicate key to his post-ottice box, so
you can get his papers regularly. If he
be gentleman he will give you the key
without asking; but some editors are
not gentlemen.-Chicago Type-Founder.

THE DAYS OF TERROR.
Hundreds of Innocent Victims En- Route
for the Guillotine.

A never-ending procession of victims
passed down the Rue st. Honore to the
Place de la -deudnt Place
Louis XV.-where the principal guillo-
tine had been erected. There were
guillotines, however, in several other
parts of the city; and it was no uncom-
mon matter for person going out shop
ping in the morning to meet with three
or four professions of unhappy beings
proceeding to execution. A well-or-
ganized band of furies usually accom-
panied them, shouting and bowling in
suits and cries of DEATH" Early in
1904 protests were made by residents
along the lines of route to the guillo-
tines, that sensitive persons were begin
ming to avoid those streets, and that this
did great harm to their commerce. They
therefore petitioned that the routes
should be at least occasionally changed.
Later on another request was made to
the National Assembly concerning the
unhealthy condition of the Place de la
Revolution, literally stepped in blood,
which emitted horrible and dangerous
stencil.
Strange, however, as it may seem,
many of these executions, notably those
of important personages, were attended
by great numbers of apparently respect
able people, and the Moniteur contained
many advertisements to the effect that
"So-and-so hires out chairs to
witness the guillotining of, say,
Louis XVI, or Nine. Roland, or indeed
of any conspicuous person, at so much
an hour" A contemporary engraving
representing the execution of Louis
XVI. shows us a crowd of well-dressed
people, comfortably seated in their
chairs, placed on a high and we'll built
wooden stand, and not a few of them
are using their opera glasses. Duval is
shocked when he records that during
the massacres of September ION dansait
en- banlieue." In fact the gay and vol
atile nature of the Parisians could not
be wholly suppressed, and some by no
means badly intentioned people made a
sort of fete of the tragic events which
were perpetually occurring Saturday

GULF STREAM FRANKS.
That Body of Water Is of Late Deceiv

That Body of Water Is of Late Deceiv-
ing Many Navigators.
The peculiar and phenomenal changes
in the Gulf stream current recently have
been so great and the turns so sudden
that the most skillful of shipmasters
look upon this great body of warm water
with considerable distrust. There is
especial danger in reckoning ON that
part which touches on the outer Dia-
mond Hatteras shoals, the most danger
GUS spot on the North American coast
Captain Smith, of the English steam
ship Ethelbald, which for several years
has been plying between this port and
Central America in the fruit carrying
trade, says that he made the narrowest
sort of escape from striking on Hatteras
shoals on his last voyage from Mica
ragua to Philadelphia, and probably
would have lost his vessel if the night
had not been perfectly clear. He says
that from noon of February Is, latitude
1890, longitude 77:17, his vessel was
steered northeast one half north. Be-
tween one and two o'clock light was
sighted one point forward of the port
beam, which afterward proved to be
Cape Lookout light that never ought
to be seen.
A short time after this Cape Hatteras
light was sighted one point on the star
hoard bow, showing that the vessel was
running directly for the land, and was
entirely inside of Hatteras shoals. The
course of the vessel was changed due
west to get outside of the shoals before
proceeding north. The temperature of
the water during the time mentioned W, 8
rs degrees, showing that the vessel was
in the stream. The current was at least
three miles per hour. - Philadelphia

HUMORS OF ADVERTISING.
Announcements Which Claim More Than
the Advertiser Intended.

~
the Advertiser Intended.
A scrap book of clippings from the
advertising columns of the press reveals
a mass of goodly bits of unconscious
humor, of which only few may be
quoted here.
From such a scrap book are taken tho
following specimens. POSSIBLY some OF
them are not so innocent of humorous
lntont as their source would wish Jc
imply, but many of them must go as
irrefutable evidence that Hibernianisms
are not confined to the land which re.
joiced in its eminence as the birthplace
of Sir Boyle Roche:
Eau de cologne water and giants
de Suede gloves" are luxuries which we
are told may be ours at ''ruinously low

hard to find among men capable OF
travelling and carrying sample safes

whom it is therefor considered neces-

found companion advertisement to tho
famous one which announced that 1.-TWO

begins to wonder why I'VE" advertise.

WONDERS IN STONE.
Some of the Most Remarkable Natur,
Formations Ever Found.

Some of the Most Remarkable Natural
Formations Ever Found.
Pliny, well-known writer of about
the time of Christ, mentions having
seen an agate, the lines and markings
of which formed perfect picture Of
Apollo and the Nine Muses.. Pliny says
that little children recognized it on
sight. In this wonderful natural pict-
IRE, as we'll as in artificial drawings,
Apollo was represented seated in che
midst of the MUSES. with harp in hand.
Majolus, another writer of high stand
ing, saw an agate in the collection Of a
ieweler at Venice, which, when pol
ished, showed a perfect picture of a
shepherd with crook in hand and cloak
thrown loosely over his shoulders.
In the church of St. John, at Pisa,
Italy, there is piece of stone heavily
marked with red, blue and yellow spar,
the lines representing an old man with
heavy white beard, with a bell in his
hand, seated beside small stream. To
the worshipers at st. Johns it is known
as the St. Anthony stone, the picture
upon it being perfect likeness of that
saint, even in the minor details Of tunic
and bell.
In 1905 some quarrymen in Italy burst
open slab of marble, both sides Of
which contained an image of St. John
the Baptist covered with the skin of a
camel. Everything was true to nature
with single exception; the saint had
only been provided with one leg snG
foot. How, when or upon what pretex
the Turks were allowed to gain posses
sion of the wonderful relic, the writers
authority fails to state; it only add
that the miraculous production is nov
in the Temple of st. Sophia, at Con
