Disappearance Of the Earring.

Has any one except woman and
jeweler noticed the gradual, and of re-
cent years, the rapid retirement of the
earring? Not many years ago two
women out of three wore them. Little
girls a. school begged to have their ears
pierced, and heroically-it may be call
ed heroism-submitted to the painful
puncturing of the delicate lobe Of the
ear only for the qualification of vanity.
To-day, except among the Italian and
Portuguese peasant women of the North
End, the pendant earring has almost
wholly sappeared. A few still cling
to the ear ornament in the shape OF
stud, but the jewelers. say that few
women nowadays submit,to the pierc-
ing process. Some whose ears are al
ready punctured still wear their orna-
ments, but many use little arti6ces to
conceal the traces Of the needle.

SEVERAL years have elapsed since
there have been so many deaths caused
by excessive heat as have been reported
from Western cities in the last Jew
weeks. The weather over wide stretch
of country has been like that of the
Centennial year. Philadelphia has
been favored with breezes that tenn
pered the heat 80 that there have been
few cases OF deaths directly due to the
suns energy, but the death rate has
been largely increased by the Warm
weather. Very nearly one-half of the
deaths recorded in the tables published
recently are Of infants under one year
of age. The hot weather is particu-
Iarly hard on all who are in feeble con-
ditlon, and s'old age'' also furnishes
several victims. The greatest care
should he exercised during such warm
spells to nourlsh and protect the young
children. Nothing can be better for
them than trips on the water, not trips
taken as last resort, but before the
children have become enfeebled by the
heat.

The Philosophy Of 1t.

There are now confined In the county
jail eighteen prisoners charged with
completely in murder-a larger number
than have ever been confined at one
time heretofore-and all the crimes
chorged against them were committed
withing the past five months With
this number should be remembered the
fact that there has been no legal hang
ing in Allegheny County for the past
half dozen years. for the two have a
close relationship. Not all the eighteen
murders would nave been prevented If
the custom was to hang murders, but a
q considerable proportion OF them
would. The knowledge that the gal
lows awaits him who takes human lie
has very straining influence upon the
murderously inclined.

Colonel Bloodgltt's daughter. Zaldie,
was exceedingly handsome, but was 50

men Of the community stood ID awe Of
her. The colonel and his daughter
lived in all old stone house, moss grown
and covered with vines. A strs ssm that

romance, and every sound about me
old place seemed to be inspired bY
lurking sentiment. The old man Sat
all day on the broad porch smoking his
pipe, while Zaldie sang old songs or
played with dog on the soft and
grassy slope. Every one had come to
believe that the girl lived merely to
scorn marriage in her gentle and Beau
tiful way, and there was not q swain in
all the nelghborhood that dared to
breathe hope OF winning her.
Luke Brizentine, who owned the
finest horse in the country and had
therefore strong claims, had asked her
to share his life Of corn and bread and
wild mustard green's, and had not only
been rejected, but was violently kicked
down the steps by the old man. Sol.

A Jewish Opinion Of the Passion
Play.

The Jepish Ctronacte (London) thus
refers to the Ober-Ammergau Passion
Play: ''The grotesque elaboration Of
the scenic effects that mark the present
production are not without their value.
Far from dep oring them, we think
that, on the contrary, they may be well
coined. For they have, if well-au-
thenticated report speaks truly, effect
ualIy killed the play once for all There
is very little doubt that the Passion
Play has been given for the last time.
And surely it is well that this be so. 1t
IS not Christianity alone that must suf-
fer by the conversion of its most sacred
beliefs into theatrical medium for
making money. Religion generally
shares in the blame, and Judaism must
rejoice at the removal of blots from the
face of religions other than itself.''

WRITING FOR NEWSPAPERS.
Sensible Words Which Young
Authors Should Read.

am very frequently asked whether
the newspaper is the best starting point
for young authors, and in this question
les, in nine cases out Of ten, grave
misconception, writes Edward W. Box,
In The Lad es' Home Journal. Many
young writers believe that work reject
ed by the monthly magazine will find
market with the daily newspaper.
It seems to be taken for granted that
the same degree Of care is unnecessary
for newspaper work as for magazine
writing. "The newspaper dies with
the day, the magazine lives for a
month"; is the general feeling. and
hence the impression that ephemeral
work will find ready market with the
newspaper.
It has been my pleasure TO write for
the newspapers rress of America for
six or seven years, and I give young
writers a leaf from my experience
when I say to them-Do not allow
yourselves to Relieve that minor work
will 6nd favor with the modern Amer
ican newspaper. There is just as much
demanded of writer in the newspaper
editorial Office as in that of the monthly
magazine. A writer commits the
greatest mistake of her life, when she
looks the newspaper as a gradu-
ating &C to the magazine. The
same stant ssf grammar and express
ion set by the eazine holds good with
newspapers.
Where the newspaper offers to the
young writer an advantage over tue
magazine. is in its wider field, and its
larger capacity. Publishing thirty
times against the single Issue Of mag
azine, the newspaper naturally absorbs
more material, and writer's chances
are correspondingly better. Then. too,
subjects which are out of the range of
the magazine, fall directly within the
scope of the newspaper. This is spec
tally true Of timely articles. The mag
azines Of to-day with their large circu-
lations. and the necessary slower pro-
cess Of printing, are prepared 80 far in
advance as to make it impossible for
them to get close enough to timely
happenings to make their discussion of
them fresh and interesting. With the
newspapers this Is, Of course, different,
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1890-08-05

and it Is precisely in its ability to treat
of what is latest and freshest wherein
lies its strength, and in these respects
the field Is necessarily broadened to the
writer.
But, bear in mind, this advantage is
only one of greater capacity, not OF
less requirement.. Disappointment can
be no more certain than when a manu-
script IS sent to a newspaper editor with
the belief that he is less critical, or that
his constituency is less exacting than is
the case of the monthly magazine.
