Literary Grinders.

If you start out to make livelihood by
the pen, with only the dollar mark before
you, you will fail unless you have gigan-
tic genius for binding the editors and
their public. The man or woman who
writes only with the one overpowering
idea in view of what the work will bring
him or her makes a great mistake, and
never will make anything else. What are
called literary grinders by editors and
publishers are never popular or conspicu-
Gus for their success. They may seem to
make a hit here or there, but not very
often. The lane of the Literary hack has
very short and sharp turn, and it is gen.
orally not far from the opening of the road.
An editor is quick to single out the grind
err" as her work invariably shows 1t, and
the man or woman who is thus classified
In the editorial mind is most unfortunate.

Reserying Seats ON Trains.

1--WE read good deal about the hog as
he Is called, on railway trains" remarked
an old traveller, but there is one thing
that | have noticed in my journeys that
seems to me to deserve more attention than
it receives. That is the regard that travel
ers show for the rights of others. | never
go on trip that | fail to notice it. 1t is
the universal custom to recognize the right
of a person to a seat if he or she has pre-
empted it by leaving a valise or other prop
erty in it to indicate that it has been re-
served, SO to speak. In all my experience
never saw any one seize upon such piece
of baggage and eject it, and then sit down
and occupy the seat. That seems to me
to be really remarkable.
"And then how rarely does it happen
that a passenger loses any baggage that he
may have left unguarded in seat A man
may go into the smoking car and may re-
main an hour or more, and on his return
he will find his property intact. At sta
lions where there are eating houses pas
sengers get out by the score, reserving their
seats with bags, overcoats, books, maya
zines, ETC., and on coming back will find
everything undisturbed. This regard for
others rights is one of the characteristics
of American travellers that ought to be en-
phasized. / have seen numerous specimens
of the genus hog and nobody can be more
disguised than l at the exhibitions they
make; but over against them like to set
the other quality of which l have spoken.
There is good bit of unselfishness in this
world, after all. New York Tribune.

rose up and answered "Here." There was
cheering and some confusion but no real
disturbance occurred. The list included
many well-known citizens. Resolutions

even in the lower schools. going there
armed with revolvers. He insists that
this bad custom; that boys ought not to
carry pistols, and that the teachers should
prohibit them from doing so, and makes
the following suggestion to the school
board in his official report:
Seems a Reasonable Suggestion.
Carrying pistols to school should be positive
ly forbidden, and any teacher knowingly per-
uniting it should be dismissed. 1t people see
fit to allow their boys to go on in this unciyil-
lied manner they should not be permitted to
carry weapons to school to cripple the chill
dren of other people.
The board favors the proposition, and
the revolver will no longer be regarded as
necessary branch Of The curriculum of
the public schools.

A Schoolmaster's Nickname.

For some reason of his own, an assistant
master at our school, whose Christian
name was Joseph, used-to sign himself at
length, "Josephus," apparently consider
ing it an improvement on the more famil-
lar appellation. Though good fellow as
assistant masters go, he was terribly fussy
about trifles which master with more
tact would have passed by as if unseen.
The consequence was that we made the
most of his precious front name, and the
school humorist dubbed him, "Josey Fuss"
not bad play upon the name of Josephus.

A Sheet That Must Have Been q CuFleo-
ity Even in the Early Days Of ls4o.
Gardiner @. Cotton writes to New York
paper apropos of the suspension of The
Alta California of San Francisco, concern
ing the origin of that paper, which was a
little sheet issued in Monterey by his
brother, the Rev. Walter Cotton, then
chaplain in the United States service. He
quotes from his brothers 'Three Years in
California" now rare book:
Saturday, July Is, 1915. Today the first
newspaper ever published in California
made its appearance. The honor, if such
it be, of writing its prospectus fell to me.
1t Is to be issued every Saturday, and is
published by Semple & Cotton. My part
ner is an emigrant from Kentucky, who
stands feet 8 inches in his stockings.
He is in buckskin dress, a foxskin cap, is
true with his fife, ready with his pen and
quick at the type case. He created the
material of our office out of chaos of a
small concern which had been used by a
Roman Catholic monk in printing few
sectarian tracts.
1.-The press was old enough to be pre-
served as a curiosity; the mice had bur
rowed in the balls; there were no rules, no
leads, and the types were rusty and in nj.
1t was only by securing that the letters
could be made to show their faces. A sheet
or two of tin was procured, and these, with
a jackknife, were cut into rules and leads.
Luckily we found with the press the great
er part of a keg of ink, and now came the
main scratch for paper None could be
found except what is used to envelope the
tobacco Of the cigar smoked here by the
natives.
"a coaster had small supply of this on
board, which we procured. 1t is in sheets
little larger than the common sized fools
cap. And this is the size of our first paper,
which we have christened The Californian.
Though very small in dimensions, our first
number is as full of news as black wal
hut>is of meat. We have received by couri-
ers during the week intelligence from all
the important military posts through the
territory. Very little of this has trans
pired. 1t reaches the public for the first
time through our sheet.
1--WE have also the declaration of war be-
tween the United States and Mexico, with
an abstract of the debate in the senate. A
crowd was waiting when the first sheet
was thrown from the press. 1t produced
quite little sensation. Never was a bank
run upon harder, not, however, by people
with paper to get specie, but exactly the
reverse. One-half of the paper is in Eng
lish, the other in Spanish The subscrip-
ton for year is s.; the price for single
sheet is 1915 cents, and is considered cheap

The Advantage of a Hobby.

Almost every person of wealth and op-
portunities has hobby. One has pre-
objection for pictures, another for armor,
still another for coins, or medallions,
watches, or the fad of souvenir spoons.
As to the latter, it is recorded that one in
defatigable collector has succeeded in get
ting together variety of spoons of every
age and nation since man first discarded
the use of fingers for more civilized sub
stitute
A certain philosopher advises all persons
to have hobby 1t gives spice to life to
have an absorbing object. At seventy
years of age Alison, reviewing his days and
feeling as strong as at twenty-five, attrib-
uted his happy condition to variety OF
occupation. Either the law or the liter

suaded, have ruined my health or termi-

kinds of entertainment.-New York Ad-

A Retiary.

A retiary was the name of a Roman
gladiator armed in a peculiar way. He
was furnished with trident and net, with
no more covering than short tunic, and
with these implements he endeavored to
entangle and dispatch his adversary, who
was called a secutor Grom seoul, to follow,
and was armed with helmet, shield and
a sword. The name of the first is pro-
nounced as if spelled re-shi-a-ry, the accent
on the first syllable.-New York Weekly.
