How to Treat Newspaper Men.


Don't tell newspaper reporter, when
he calls on you on business, things which
you do not wish him to print. He does
not call for information for the fun of it.
He is there on business. When you
meet reporter socially, don't say to
him every time you open your mouth,
"This is not for publication"
If you really have information to give,
either give it cheerfully and frankly or
refuse with tirmness, but don't try to be
clever and attempt any "funny bust
ness" If you give the information
frankly you will in ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred be accurately re-
ported and respectfully treated. If you
refuse firmly and politely your reticence
will be respected. If you try to outwit
the reporter by an effort to mislead him
or by direct misrepresentation, you are
sure to make mess of it and wish that
you had been better advised.
Disabuse your mind Of any foolish i'm
preston that the newspaper reporters
are malignant persons, trying to stir up
trouble in the world. They are, as a
rule, the opposite of this and have as
high an idea as other men of the relative
advantages of contentment and strife

Mistaklng the Uniform.

The dreamy young man jumped on
the rear platform of a Broadway car
last evening. He was on his way to
make call and his mind had wandered
off to the home of his Margaret. In
stinctively he showed his hand down
into his pocket, pulled out coin and
handed it toward a brass buttoned coat
that his dreaming eyes had made out in
the darkness. He was aroused from his
dreaming by gruff voice saying:
"I'm not the conductor. don't want
your money"
pardon me-" exclaimed the embar-
rassed young dreamer, II really did not
notice that you were fireman. just
saw the uniform, you know, and took
you for the conductor.
"Thats all right" answered the fire.
man. mo offense. We firemen have
that happen to us every time we jump
on car. If we go inside to take seat,
some woman is sure to hand us a fare
and ask us to let her off at some street
or other, and if we stand outside, some
absentminded man goes and sticks a
coin in our hands. | don't know but
it would be pretty good scheme if we

The Aerial Navigation Problem.

An Indianapolis boy has probably solved
the aerial navigation problem. His nams
is Walter Mercer. His airship, when com.
plete, will be in the form of a cylinder, the
ends being cone shaped. Its entire length
will be twenty-four feet, each conical end
being five feet long and the cabin ten feet.
1t will be made of aluminium, the lightest
and strongest metal in the world, and will
fly not less than fifty-five miles an hour,
and as much faster as the operator may
desire. From the cones aluminium shaft
ing, running to the vertical steam engine Of
three horse power in the cabin, will extend
two feet at each end.
On each shaft will be three propellers
having 10, 6H and foot sweeps respective
ly. They will all be one foot wide, fashioned
not unlike boat oar, and will revolye 85(
times per minute. The blades can be regu
lated to increase or decrease the rate Of
speed that may be desired before the start
is made, The journals on the shafting
will form the ends of the cones. The rails
ing power will. be obtained by ten propel
lers, four on each side and one on each end
which will revolve at about the same ratt
as the others When the ship is at the re
quired height they will continue to revolve
but at a slower rate, to keep the ship up

Why Is 1t That

Bees never store honey where 1t Is
light? -,
The moth has fur jacket and the
butterfly none? -,
Leaves will attract dew when boards,
sticks and stones will not?
A horse always gets up forepart hrst
and COW directly the opp site?, .,
Corn on the ear is never found with
an uneven number of rows?
Fish, flies and caterpillars may be
frozen solid and still retain life?
A squirrel comes down a tree head
first and cat tail first?
Electricity is never visible except
when it comes in the form Of zig-zag
lightning?
A horsefiy will live for hours after
the head has bean pinehed of?
The dragon-hy can devour its own
body and the head still live?
Some flies thrust their eggs into the
bodies of caterpillars, but always in
such parts of the body that when the
larvae are feeding on the flesh of the
foster parent they will not eat into any
vital part? Can this be explained?
Does the fly reason?

Venetian Youth,

The Venetian youths, like their cousins
in Rome, are fond of dogs, and the uglier
and more forbidding the dog so much
the more it seems to be admired. This
has very odd result. The gentlemen
wear their boots long in the sole and
curved upward, a mode which does not
improve their personal appearance,
When very exquisite indeed, they further
attire themselves in tall silk hats, lemon
colored kid gloves and collars that rise
almost to their lips. Then, with dap
per cane and poodle shaven SO brutally
clean that no lock of wool is left upon
it, save at the tip of its tail, the gentle
man considers himself completed for
promenade.
Up and down he goes, bowling zeal
ously to the right hand and the left,
ever and anon stopping to caress the
tips of the fingers Of lady, and ever
and anon pausing to unwind the chain
Of his poodle from his elegant legs He
is an expert at expletives; but the poodle
is used to them, and bears without one
whine of objection all the abuse it ex.

A Mothers Duty and Children's Teeth

A Mothers Duty and ChiIdren's Teeth.
Ignorance of the law does not excuse
the vioIator of the law, and if it be Grim
inal for mother not to know that scar
let fever and small pox are contagious
that arsenic and corrosive sublimate and
paris green are poisonous, it is little
short of criminal in parents to neglect
requiring of their children so important
a duty as proper attention to the teeth
as at no other time of life can little
watchfulness and advice be so oppor
tunely bestowed, and were this care
given it would in few years be com
paratively rare to find a person OF ma
ture age with missing tooth or teeth
while millions of artificial teeth yearly
manufactured in this and other countries
would be almost entirely uncalled for
as artificial restoration of dental organs
by plates would be mostly confined t.
replacing teeth lost by accident. B z

Sensible words to Tired Mothers.

To reign nobly and successfully even ii
cottage housekeepers need a few simple
requirements of body and mind, need to
have them become habits, habits SO deeply
woven into her existence that the posses.
sor is unconscious of their presence, but
habits Of whose absence she would be Sx-
quisitely conscious.
First-Breathe slowly, breathe deeply,
breathe quietly, breath pure air.
There is no room more easy to ventilate
than well planned kitchen, for it's heat is
sufficient to permit the constant entrance
of cold air.
Many mornings preserving or baking
may be metamorphosed from mere firing,
fatiguing task into healthful exercise il
these points are attended to.
Many a sinkful of heavy dishes have
been washed with as good results as gym
nasium practice, if pure air is well breathed
meanwhile (Which is a strong point against
| unventilated butlers' closets),
Second-Stand well, not on the heels, not
on the toes, but fiat on the balls of the feet,
the body poised slightly forward, the chest
well raised and air filed.
Orders given to servants or tradesmen,
from such a poise, will doubly impress
themselves and bring doubly fine results. /,
When you stand in this way you rest
part Of your Eody, even though the stand
ing muscles are fatigued.
Above all, when you rest, restl If you
have few moments to sit or lie, do moth
ing else in that few minutes.
Allow your chair or couch to receive the
whole Of your weight, and give your
thought only to your own weight In this
way you will double the amount of rest you
get from five or ten minutes freedom from
work or care.
Do not, while sitting or lying, allow your
mind to plan what work you will do next,
how you will do it, how soon you will be
sufficiently rested to get up, but simply
rest and grow heavy. Boston Herald.

FLINT GLASS CONVENTION.

The Local Delegates Have Started to Corn
ing-No Opposition Developed to Presi-
dent smith and Secretary DiIIon-Few
-ehAnees to Be Made in the Scale.
The annual convention of the Flint Glass
Workers Association will be held at Corn
ing, n. Y, this week. 1t is a non-union
town, and no preparations have been made
to receive the delegates, but the men think
they have chance to show their strength
and win over the Corning people A big
union strike is in progress in the town, and
the flint workers hope to be able to help
their fellows in the struggle.
Over $50 delegates and visitors have gone
to Corning over the Allegheny Valley road
from Pittsburg. About 30 left last even
ing. In the party were President w. j.
Smith, Secretary w. j. Dillon, Thomas
Smart, Alton; George NJ. Murphy, Pitts
burg; William Fitzpatrick, Findley; Daniel
Duffy, Philadelphia; h. T. Smith, Brook
lyn, and John Howard, District Attorney
from Wheeling. Mr. Howard is an ex-
flint glass worker, and will deliver an ora
tion at the graves of the 20 Corning men
who were killed last year in the Ravenna
wreck. The association intended
TO dedicate a monument at this
meeting, but owing to the strike of the
granite cutters the Brooklyn firm was un-
able to complete it in time. The exercises
will be held anyhow, and the monument will
be unveiled later
No opposition has developed so far to
President Smith and Secretary Dillon. 1t
is generally conceded that both will be re-
elected. The most important work of the
convention is the preparation Of the scale of
wages. Mr.. Smith says, with few minor
changes, the scale of last year will be
adopted. He doesn't anticipate any strikes,
and believes tina. the manufacturers will
sign it without much parley. The affairs of
the association are in good shape and the
best of feeling prevails.
