A bartender in Baltimore gave a
customer a glass with sulphuric acid
in it. thinkingit was water, and 4 drug
clerk in Tennessee gave Congressman
Houk a glass containing arsenic in
mistake for water. The carelesSness
of having such dangerous stuff where
any one can lay his hands on it is
nothing short of criminal.

New York Tribune: No solution
of the difficulty can be reached by
trying to muzzle men like Professor
Briggs and DR.. Parkhurst, on the
ground that what they say may scare
some good souls. Either they are
right or they r wrong. If they are
right let the assembly say so: if they
arc wrong let it say so with equal
~plainncss. The time has gone by
when the church can honestly erade
the issue so clearly made by some of
its most distinguished teachers and
preachers.

Many people often wonder why i;
did not pay TO run newspapers 81
hundred years ago as well as it does
at the present day. The reason is
simple and well known. 1t was be-
cause people then were not educated
up TO the merits and resources Of al
vertising. AID consequently the cost
OF the newspaper was necessarily high
and had few patrons. If a newspaper
had TO depend solely on its profits
from the sale of the paper, how long
could il exist? How long would our
great emporiums stand-in fact, would
they exist to-day but for the aid of
advertising?

President Ilarrison's judicial ap-
pointments in the past have been ex-
cellent in every respect, and he pro-
poses evidently that they shall so con
time. Since he returned TO Washing
ton from his tour. strong pressure has
been brought to bear upon him for
the immediate appointment of the
nine Judges of the new Appellate
court which was created by the last
session of Congress. He, however,
announced his determination not TO
make the appointments until the SEN
ate is in session to confirm them. His
POSITION is a wise one. and cOmmends
itself TO the common sense of the peo-
pie of the country.

The college chair of journalism has
proved 10 be something Of a misti., by
reason of the environments and re-
strictions necessary to the proper and
practical training of the students.
Colonel Charles ii. TAYLOR. OF the

with Il liberal ard unique proposition.
II is to found two scholarships in
Harvard College. each TO cntitle tie
graduate to whom it is awarded a
years training on the GiObe and $40
a week during that year. This Is very
diflerent-Gnd most newspaper men
will consider it much more practical
than a chair of journalism. The
student will at college get the firm
foundation of an education. TiliS will
take him four years. He will then be
given one year in which 10 find out
how TO apply what he has learned,
and also. perhaps, 10 find out that he
doesn't know as much as he thought
he did. This will try him in the
noble art of >clf-defense, knock ont
his sophomore ward combinations
and his senior airs. teach him to adapt
himself to circumstances. and. above
all. test the strength of his enthusiasm
in the face OF encouragement insidcnt

mated that a year of this probation
will demonstrate his fitness for enter

The most successful farmers are
those who, while growing 4 variety of
crops. make a specially Of some one
of them, and subordinate everything
else to that. Potatoes are the best
adapted to this purpose of any crop
we know. Attention to them. what
ever needed, must subordinate every
thing else. for otherwise in these times
potatoes cannot be grown at all. They
require the employment OF a large
amount of labor. and the potato grower
misses his best opportunity if he does
not grow ether crops to employ this
labor when it is not needed in the
potato field. In this way he really
gets the labor for his potatoes at a
lower rate than he could otherwise
do.
