Newspaper Ethics.
e william Curtis in Harper.

A newspaper gains neither charac-
ter or influence by abandoning good
manners. 1t may indeed make itself
diSagrceable and annoying and so
silence opposition, as polecat may
eifectually close the wood path which
YOU had designed to take. 1t may
be feared, and in the sane way as
that animal-fcared and despised.
But this effect must not be confound-
et with newspaper power and in
huence. 1t is exceedingly annoying
undoubtedly, to be placarded all over
town rs liar or donkey, a hypo-
crite OF sneak thief. But although
the effect is most unpleasant,very lit.
tie ability is required toproduce it. 4
little paper and printing.a little paste
n great deal of malice. and host of
bill stickers are all that are needed.
aud even the pecuniary cost Is rot
large The effect is produced, hut
it does not show ability or force or
influence upon the part Of the pro-
ducer.

Men WINS Eat Pie.

A truly charming gentleman is Mr.
Edmund Russell, apostle and expounder
of the Delsartean faith. We take back
all the uncivil and cruel things we have
uttered against old Delsarte and his
creed, for we have seen Mr.. Russell eat
pumpkin pie at Rector's restaurant late
of nights. In the whole wide range of
philosophy there is none other that APP
peals more directly or more potently to
our sympathies than does that philos-
ophy which justiies by practice the eat
ing of pumpkin pie.
Mr.. Whittier, the Amesbury poet, is
as famous a punisher of pie as Ralph
Waldo Emerson was, and that is saying
much, for Emerson was mighty in the
pursuit, comprehension, mastication,
digestion and assimilation of that cheer
ing Wand. Apple pie, however, and not
pumpkin, was Emerson's favorite diet,
and is Whittier's.-Eugene Field in
Chicago News.

Chivalrous Devotion.

At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in its center, and the
case of the back came away in one piece.
The claws were her next care, and she
worked away at them for a long time.
II was a proceeding of extreme deli
scacy, considering that all the flesh of the
great claw had to be passed through the
small base. During the operation one
claw came off altogether, and this must
have seemed to the lobster lady a serious
misfortune, as it will not grow to its full
size again until the second year. The
tail and legs gave very little trouble, and
Che body, when thus undressed, proved

The shell casting over, the lobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed a
signal for the attack of every creature in
the tank

the male lobster suddenly came to the
rescue Standing over his helpless bet
ter half, he fought her assailants relent-
3essly. Day and night did he watch over
her, until her shell was sufficiently hard
ened to protect her in fighting her own
battles.
When this happy moment arrived he
deliberately picked up the old claw,
broke it in his nippers, and ate the meat
He then dug hole in the sand, placed in
it the broken bits of shell, buried them,
and piled anumber of small stones above
the grave.-Youth's Companion.

A Cause of Depression.

There is another and equally important
cause of mental depression and physical
disorganization as is that of overeatlng,
and lack of sufficient exercise. This is
the constant application to occupation
which is in vogue in this country. Men
and women alike, since women are for
midable competitors of men in profes-
sional pursuits, have practice Of going
on in the same treadmill manner, year
after year, without any lapse for rest.
We live in this country at too high a
pressure, in business sense. Men en-
gage of course in business, more actively
and in greater numbers than women, yet
being brought into so close contact with
the former, women naturally absorb
not only personal interest, but are often
plunged into its vortex, and become as
bound up by its demands as the men
themselves.
1t is not unusual, in fact, for women
to assume and carry out the management
of the counting room, Office and store as
well as the household. The strain OF
these demands upon the system is nat
urally very great under the most favor.

Felt THAT He mad Been Cheated.

A young clam farmer from Canarsie,
accompanied by his 250 pound wife,
created much amusement on bridge
train coming to Brooklyn Sunday little
before midnight. The cars were as well
filled as is usual at that hour. The
rustics drew attention to themselves by
the loud tones of their conversation
"Now, baby" the man was saying, ''you
know l amt bit stingy and wouldn't
care for the money at all, but | don't
want any catfish of a toll grabber to do
the dead swindle on me-Sunday nights
anyway"
"Oh, never mind, Reuben" said
"baby" consolingly.
"Well, now, baby, you can see for
yourself. There's eighty-four cents out
of a dollar. Do you see that2 That
shark has kept back ten cents on me. 1t
amt the money | care for, baby. Here
do you want itg'
"No; | don't want it. l wish you
would keep quiet"
"Well, if you don't want it, here goes,
scattering the change on the floor.
Baby" maintained a stolid silence,
gazing ruefully at the coin on the floor.
Finally Reuben realized that he had
been guilty of criminal waste, and he
said; "Well, if you don't want it, I'll
take it," and he began clumsily to pick
the money out of the spaces in the mat
ting. At this point a general laugh
arose from the other passengers. When
the Brooklyn station was reached the
farmer was still mourning his missing
dime, and when | left his ponderous
wife was struggling to prevent him from
taking the next train to New York to
get hunk with "that pirate" at the toll
box.-Brooklyn Eagle.

An Interesting win Case.

An interesting case and one of peculiar
complication was disposed Of by the
s,onrt in Allentown recently. When the
wife Of the late Peter Maury, of West
Bethlehem, died two or three years ago
sbe left a will bequeathing all her prop
erty. real or personal, to her husband,
and it was stipulated that after his death
the estate should revert to "our heirs, +"
70 quote the language of the document
Marry married a second wife, and a
few weeks after the ceremony he was
taken sick with fever and died.
His widow brought suit against the
aeirs, Frank and George Maury and
Mrs. c. Benner, for a dover right in the
prOperty, which was one-third of the
estate for life. The main question dis
-cussed before the court was whether the
interest of Peter Maury in the estate
war an absolute one or a life one only.
Judge Albright took the latter view of the
affair and rendered decision in favor
of the heirs, one of whom lives in Texas.
The property is valuable and is situated
in West Bethlehem. Before his death
Many gave his wife check for $500 OF

He Didn't Strike.

A hurrying crowd was pushing its
way down the broad steps of the ele-
waited platform at the city hall elevated
station Wednesday afternoon. A hand
somely dressed woman, accompanied by
a tall man of the sporting class, moved
leisurely along, trailing foot and half
of her skirts behind her A big, clumsy
boy in his eagerness to reach the street
planted heavy foot on the trailing
skirt, lmost throwing the woman over
backward. Naturally she was very an
CRY and speedily found some very harsh
words to bestow on the boy. Her male
companion was angry, too, and at the
foot of the stairs he collared the lad and
raised his cane to administered chastise-
ment But the blow did not fall. A
burly workingman caught the arm to
which the cane was attached and half a
dozen determined voices exclaimed,
Don't hit that boyr
The tall sporting man braced himself
for a fight, when a mild looking young
gentleman looked him fxedly in the eye
and said: "See here, my friend, you had
better calm down right away. You have
got the unpopular end of this dispute
If you have ever walked down stairs be
hind woman who lets her skirts drag
you ought to understand what the public
sentiment is on that subject" The
sporting man made no reply. He let &C

lowed by a very indignant and talkativt
woman.-New York Times.
