BURDETTE ON TIME.

Six working days a week; that's
all you can get unless you steal from
Sunday, and if your business requires
you to steal either time or money,
you'd better give it up and get into
something with more honesty and
less profit in it. What you can't
finish this week postpone until next,
or forever; and what sticks out over
the end of the year saw off and put

dette in his department From a
New Inkstand" in the March Ladies
Home Journal. Four seasons have
passed and that's all there is. You
must make a fresh start every year.
1t isn't an easy matter to learn how
to do this, but you've got to learn
it sometime, either before you die or
when you die; why not learn early
and get the good and the COM
fort of it? Every day of my life the
evening is apt to find something on
my programme that Haven t got to.

finished work and raveled-out plans
on your hands. Then what are you
going to do? Take it to heaven
with you and bother and drag along
with it there? Not much you won't.
Well then, why not learn to drop
some of it here? It is a lessonnot SO
easily learned, but, once learned, it is

TO CONCEAL THE EYES.

An exquisite species of embroidery

The ladies of Persia must completely
conceal not only their faces, but even
their eyes when walking abroad.
But as it is also Indispensable that
they should be able to see, a net work

these features combined. In the To-

the reciprocal ting parts will probably

SLIPS OF THE TONGUE

To few of us is it given never to
make slip of the tongue. On the con-
trary, most people have some unpleas-
ant memory or other of some dread
full mistake they have fallen into and,
even although years my have pass
ed since the fatal moment when their
lips betrayed them, they are still I'M
able to recall the circumstances with
out again experiencing the agony
and their checks displaying the blush
which followed upon the first dis
covery of the slip. Take a few ex
amples to illustrate what we have
advanced. 1t was but very small
and even insignificant change of
letter which rather spoiled the i'm
pressive eloquence ola preacher who,
warning his audience against
idolatry, in place of Bow not thy
knee to an idol" made false step,
and said, "Bow not thine eye to a
needle" In the same way the young
clergyman, with the correct Oxford
pronunciation, in giving the hymn,
"Conquering Kings" merely
stumbled over the first vowel, but
being unable to save himself, was
hurried over the precipice, and
startled his congregation with the
announcement, The hymn tonight
will be 'Kinquering Congs, Kinquer-
ing Congs'" Much the same was
the pitfall into which a reverend
gentleman walked when, in place of
saying, "Behold the fig tree, how it
withereth away" by a simple trans
position of two letters, he asked his
audience to behold the wig tree, how
it fthereth away"
But best of all the many instances
of slips of this kind is perhaps the
classical instance of the preacher
who, describing conscience, and de-
string to get his listeners to recognize
the promptings of it's inward voice
in the half-forrned wishes of the
mind, appealed to them whether
there was one there who at one time
or other had not felt within him
the effect of half-warmed fish"
After this the instance of the parson
who, devoutly reading the lessons in
solemn tones, announced, He spake
the word and cattlehoppers came
and grassipillars innumerable,"
seems almost commonplace. So,
too, does the mistake of the priest
who assured his congregation the
other day that sit was easier for a
rich man to pass through the eye of
a needle than for a camel to enter
the kingdom Of Cod" One has Of
ten admired on railway bills the an
nouncement that the "ten o'clock
trains will start at 1O.3O," and
other similar notes; and every one
will recall in this connection the old
story of the priest who gave out on
the Third Sunday of Advent, "This
being Ember Week, Wednesdays and
Fridays will be Saturdays" We re-
member once hearing at the conclu-
sion of Pastoral, "Given, ETC., this
year of Our Lord eighteen thousand
and seventythree." Then the priest,
unfortunately for himself, became
conscious of some mistake. He
paused, looked, and then said, Eyes,
eightee thousand and seventy-three "

Smith recently saw an article in

own age and size in that state He
wrote to the Maryland youth, and

A MODERN PRINTING PRESS.

There is now preserved in the
rooms ofthe Vermont historical So
cietv in the state house at Montpe-
lier an old wooden printing press
which, so tradition says, is supposed
to be the oldest press used on this
side of Mexico. This is based upon
the theory that it is the press set up
and used by Stephen Doyle at Cam
bridge, Mass, in 1888. Some time
ago the knowledge that some pieces
of an old printing press were slowed
in the loft. of an old barn in Windsor
came to the late Hon. Luther O.
Greene, editor of the Woodstock
Standard and president of the Yer
mont Press association. Through
his efforts they were obtained and
brought to Montpelier. where they
were put together and have since re-
manned. 1t is generally understood
by those who have made much re-
search in the matter that Doyle's
press was taken to Connecticut in
the eighteenth century, and after
ward taken to Dresden, VT; (now
Hanover, N. H.) There it was used
by Judah P. and Alden Spooner, the
first Vermont state printers, in 1879,
and then carried to Westminster,
where was published the first Yer
mont newspaper, called the Green
Mountain Postboy. 1t was subse-
quently taken to Windsor, and after
being supplemented by more modern
inventions, was stored away in the
old barn and forgotten. 1t is of the
pattern made by William Jasen of
Blaew of Amsterdam, and is repro
duced exactly over the title of I'm
proved Wooden Press, 164O," in the
"Pentateuch of Printing" and in
'Johnson's Typographical" This is
certainly one exhibit which Vermont
could make at the worlds fair with
out much expense, and one which
would be of rare interest to all OF the
journalistic profession or the art pre-
sentative.

ENGLAND's MONEY GUARDED.

The Bank Of England's doors are
now SO finely balanced that the clerk
by pressing knob under his desk,
can close the outer doors instantly
and they cannot be opened again ex-
cept by special process. This is done
to prevent the daring and ingenious
unemployed of the great metropolis
from robbing the famous institution.
The bullion departments of this and
other great English banking estab-
lishments are nightly submerged
in several feet of water by the action
of the machinery. In some of the
London banks the bullion depart
ments are connected with the man
ayers sleeping rooms, and en-
terance cannot be effected without set
ting off an alarm near the PERSONS
head. If a dishonest official, during
day or night, should take even as
much as one from pile of 1000 SOW
ereigns the whole pile would instant
ly sink and pool of water take its
place, besides letting every person in
the esta blishment know of the theft.

POSSIBILITIES IN IRA VEL.

There is not much probability of
attaining regular and continuous
speed of 100 miles per hour with
our present locomotives. Their fire.
boxes-which perform the same
functions for the machines that their
stomachs do for animals-are, with
the present system of construction,
necessarily contracted in size. The
weight of the whole locomotive be-
ing fixed, the dimensions of the differ
ent parts are also limited.
1t is proverbially dangerous to
prophesy when you are not quite
sure, and if representations are
based upon calcula tons the mendaci-
ty OF figures may rise up hereafter to
deprive the prophet of all honor
From what has been said however.
it will be seen that fast running is
largely question of steam produc-
ton. Given boiler which will gen
crate enough steam, and the other
problems are of comparatively easy
solution. The difficulty is to get the
boiler sufficiently large within the
limits of size and weight to which it
must be confined
1t will be safe to say that to be
able to travel continuously at 100
miles per hour we must have either
boilers or fuel which will generate
more steam in given time than
those we are using now do, or our
engines must use less steam to do the
same work, or, what is more proba-

"HUSTLERS" AND "RUSTLERS."

The keynote and countersign of
life in the cities of the Northwest is
the word hustle" We have caught
it in the East, but we use it humor-
ously, just as we once used the
Southern word "skedaddle," but out
West the word hustle is not only a
serious term, it is the most serious in
the language. One day, as I sat in
the lobby of one of the great hotels
in the older pair of twin cities, [
heard two old friends greeting one
another with ardent expressions of
friendship and delight. They had
not met for long while, and each
asked about the others Lizzie and
Fannie and their respective little
ones. All of a sudden l heard one
say:
well, see you tonight, suppose.
l have got to 60"
"Where have you got to go to :"
the other inquired, plainly disappoint
ed that the pleasant interview was
not to be prolonged.
"Where the other echoed. "Why,
to hustle, of course 1 have lost ten
minutes standing here talking to
YOU. Ill SOliiS Jul " luSllO
The word always jars upon the
ear of an Eastern man when it is
seriously spoken, but it is preferable
to chat other expression once domi-
nant in the West, but now all but
abandoned. That was the word
rustic" The noun a "rustle" and
the verb ito rustic" meant precisely
what is conveyed by the newer terms
hustler and to hustler. At the first
blush, as they say out West, rustic
seems the better word. There is a
hint of poetry in the suggestion of
the sound of moving leaves upon the
ground or of the silken dress of a
lady moving rapidly. Moreover,
that was what the word was intend
ed to convey, the idea being that of
a man who moves SO rapidly that
the dead leaves upon the earth
rustled as he swept along. But in
its origin it is a word of evil intent,
for the cowboys invented it, and APP
| piled it to cattle-thieves, rustlers be-
| ing the swift raiders who stole upon
| grazing cattle on the plains and
rustled off with as many heads, or
beasts, as they could get away with.
Therefore, rustic is the worse word
| of the two. But to one who lives
where neither word is in familiar use
! there is little choice, since the actual
meaning of hustle is not far different
from that of jostle Both imply a
serious and even brutal lack of con
| sideratiOn for other persons, who are
