Importance Of the Shears.

A recen ut number of the Journal
ist takes the ground that the shears
are quite as important at times as
the quill. 1t says:
"a good many people do not know
that an editors selections from his
contemporaries are quite often the
best test Of his editorial ability, and
that the function Of the scissors is
not merely to fill mp vacant spaces,
bit to reproduce the brightest aud
best thoughts and the most attract
i've news from all sources at the Cd
itor's command. There are times
when the editor opens his exchanges
and finds feast for his eyes, heart
and soul. The thoughts Of his con-
temporarles glow with life. He
WISHES his readers to enjoy the feast
aud ne lovingly takes up the scissors
and clips and clips, and sighs TO
think that his space is mad, guate to
contain all the treasures so prodig ally
spread before him. Your true editor
il generous aud will sacrifice his
own ambition as writer during such
festal occasions, and it is Of far
more profit to bis readers to set he
fore them the original dish Of dain-
ties with the label Of the real author
affixed, than to appropriate its best
thoughts to himself, and reproduce
Them as his own. After all, The true
test Of a newspapers real value Is
no, the amount Of original matter it
contains, but the sverige qnallty of
all the matter appearing in its co..
unns. neither origin or selectei.'

from the local news, the papers are
filed with discussions on politica!
and economic subjects pertaining
directly to the affairs OF Iceland.
The spirit of che articles are often
extremely. sometimes evea offensive
ly, partisan and personsl. Not
lnfrequently the place OF the books is
occupied with learned discussion
of come kind. Comparatively little
attention is paid to the ups and
downs of European or American att
airs, these being reported but very
briefly. One characteristic Of these
papers is that almost the entire con-
tents consists of original contibu
tions. Splendid translations also
are laite frequently published. Tue
whole population of Iceland is
educated the number of lliterates
being extremely low; as q result
these papers have an abundance of

Where have they gone to-the little girls,
With natural manners and natural curls,
Who love their dolles and like their toys,
And talk of something besides the boys
Little old women in plenty | find,
Mature in manners and old of mind;
Little old flrts who talk ofthcir .'beaux," "
And vie with each other IN stylish clothes.
Little old bellies, who, at nine and ten,
Are sick of pleasures and tired of men,
Weary Of travel, Of ball, Of fun
And find no new things under the sun.

Some dear little children | used to know;
GIrls who merry as lambs at play.
And laughed and rollicked the livelong

They thought not at all Of the "style" of

They never imagined that boys were
"beaux;"
"Other girls brothers" and mates
were they;
Splendid fellows to help item play.
Where have they gone to. If you see

WHAT YOUNG WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE. -
Character and Ability.
"a mer. Farmer.)

a meT. dTtUef.J
A writer whose mind Is richly
stored with good sense addresses the
Country Gentleman as follows: Yet,
after all, every yoong woman should
have rich dowry to take to her
husband and her new home. What
shall it be? FIJI st of all, character
as wonderfully beautiful as all the
for ID atiye Influences Of her life can
make it. Shakespeare speaks 70 mod
esty as being "the j-wel in her dow
err Let her have a character found
ed upon virtue and ornamented and
lighted With loving Leart and
cheerful disposition. These, in lofty
wealth or deep poverty, shall bear her
upon the crest of every wave, and
their value be without price. Parents
can never secure happiness to their
children except oy giving them the
ability to meet its demands. This
money comes far short Of doing. If
there is any obvious truth it is this,
that happiness Is personal mental
condition maintaiuei inde. endent Of
circumstances. This cannot mean,
of coursc, that naturally or spirits
ually made happy persons cannot be
made more and less happy hy cir
umstancee, bat it does mean this:
If a daughter is brought up to be, or
allowed to be, selfish, exacting and
eternally expecting more than she
receives, she will not be happy
though she owned half the earth and
wore the engagement ring of the
owner of the other half.
dow-y is executive ability of some
kind. If a few hnudreds, more or
less, can be expended upon our
daughters let Us give them some
special edu:ation which viii fit them
for self support. A woman thus eu-
dowed is happier than one who is
the recipient of a yearly income from
fathers bounty.
1t is needless to reclte the names
Of avenues which are so deservedly
popular and open to women but We
NAV name one or two especially suit
ed to woman's true, eventual h,-
ing in home as wife aud mother.
One is that Of a trained nurse. What
a blessing to any home and TO her
self! Yet only strong young women
can take this conrse of instruction,
aud 1T is hard life VIXEN made self
supporting. Bat 1t will always re-
commend itself to tue brave, practi-
cal girl. There is a golorious move
ment we'll started and marching
grandly toward health. 1t is physl-
cal culture, now so fashinoahle. A
thorough course Of instruction in this
will fit our daughters for real life
and secure to their children ''the
right to be we'll born,'' There is
great demand for teachers in schools
and colleges which can be turned to
bank accoant or board as well as to-
ward the perfect woman in physique.
Colo is good for what it secures
to US but after all it is hard and
cold, and It's glitter is mostly in rep
utatlon. Ia reality how often it Is

s'Well, well, DR.. Ingersoll, it is a mat
ter in which we cannot be too careful.
You haven't the faintest conception, sir,
to what this most unfortunate affair may
lead. 1t is infinitely better that we
should be imposed upon by shirk than
that the public should get to look upon
us as this mans prosecutors. The Pal
ladium that came yesterday was bad
enough, in all conscience, but here's an
quarters demanding immediate investi-
cation and report upon the allegations
contained in the second days issue of
the series. How many are there to be,
in heavens name? Mr. Hearn. have you
submitted your explanation said the
colonel, turning abruptly upon the young
| lieutenant, who was sitting in panied
silence by Capt. Lane.
1T is in the hands of the adjutant,
sir" answered Hearn, rising.
~ have not seen i'll have not seen it.
1 hope you have been full and explicit,
Mr.. Hearn."
The lieutenant's pale face flushed with
|
81 have never yet been accused of any
attempt at concealment of my actions,
/ Col. Morris. Gentlemen present who
have known me nearly six years will tell
you that" q
I'm not accusing you of anything,
Mr.. Hearn. Pray keep your temper, sir.
But you do not seem to appreciate in the
least the very trying and unpleasant po-
sition in which you have, however I'M
Willingly, placed every officer at this
post, especially me, On whom the bur-
den of responsibility must fall. If l
had known four days ago that You had
used violence-or at least force-in eject
should certainly have discountenanced
his further punishment. This sort of
thing cannot be tolerated, Mr.. Hearn.
And, gentlemen, ] say it to you one and
all, this sort of thing cannot be allowed.
1t creates q wrong impression among the
people. 1t gives The press an opportu-
nifty to criticise or methods of discip-
line. 1t makes martyr of the man in
the eyes of the public, and we can't
stand it. [ have felt compelled to re.
lease him from confinement and to di-
rect the quashing Of the charges against
him."
There was a moment of dead silence
Hearn was struggling to control himsel1
and to protest that he had used neither
violence nor any force worth speaking
of. But Capt. Brodie took the floor:
Il must ask your pardon, Col. Morris
but was witness to that transaction
from beginning to end, and myself or
dered Welsh taken to the guard house
1t was after that, not before, that force
was used. Welsh cursed and resisted
the corporal of the guard
"Never mind, Capt. Brodie. Wha
seems to have Infatuated the man, anG
what has gwen rise to all this uproar O.
the press, is the fact that Mr.. Hearn, a
they say, dragged him out. Of cours
that may be exaggerated"
"It's id ie," muttered old Ken
/ yon, under his breath. '.But all tn
, more it goes"
81 do not wish to be unjust to Mr.
, Hearn in this matter continued tn
