Newspaper Reporters.

Newspaper making is not a bust
ness, except in the publication Office,
says Julien Ralph in Scribner's. 1t
is not q business-as the word is
meant to be used-in the editorial or
reporters rooms. The kind of brains
that are powerful there would not fit
q man to earn his salt In trade.
Once, when / called on millionaire
for piece Of news, at o'clock
every morning, twice day at
his Office, and at least once every
night at his home, he said to me:
you newspaper men amaze me by
your persistence and enterprise.

Der business, but If / could have en-
ployed young men like the news

one hundred millions in half the
time "

THE theory Of all the yagrant laws
in this country is that every man
mWt work and keep at work. 1t i
said that It Is hard to enforce such a
theory when there is no work to be
had. But that Is a much rarer oc'
currencc than people believe. TheH
are very few States in the Union
and very few seasons Of the year, iI
which a man who really wants work
cannot earn wages. There is no sea-
son OF the year, and no year In the
decade, when labor, more or less
skilled cannot find a market. The
market is not always in the same
place. Sometimes 1t may be in the
logging camps In Washington; some.
times on the ranches In California;
sometimes on the water front In the
cities; sometimes on the mines In the
sierras; sometimes on the cattle
ranges in the territories. In one OF
more of these a willing laborer can
always find employment IL he takes
to the road 1t Is from choice, and he
is bound to Justify his choice, which
he cannot do. AS an abstract propo'
sition, society has a right to deprive
him Of his liberty and to require OF
him compulsory labor. Whether this
discipline can be relied upon to abate
the tramp nuisance is another ques-
tiun.

StarbOard and Port.

The term starboard or port when
applied to the wheel Of ship is a CO.
nundrum to landsman which he has
difficulty in getting through his head.
How the turning Of the wheel which
acts on the rudder brings about the
desired result OF starboard and port
can be illustrated by reference to a
Chinaman. A starboard wheel throws
the stern Of a vessel to starboard.
changing the course of the bow to
port and vice versa. So with China
man when he turns his head to the
left, which is port, his pigtail swings
to the right, which is starboard. OPP
posite results are obtained when he
turns his head the other way.

uore,s Proof that u Man Can Get money
without Specializing.
II used to be said that no man can
accumulate ST ,0OO,O00 of his own III his
own lifetime without doing injustice 10
some one or making some others poorer
by mis- own thrift This was probably
true before the modern age OF improved
machinery and great inventions. III
NAV be that even in these times no man
can make ST 100000 honestly in his own
active life without making others work
for him. This is saying but little, now,
ever, because as soon as u man mas saVe,'
by his own toll $1,000 he has enough
capital, if rightly used, to employ one
other man. AS soon as he mas saved
$4,000 the average, man is 1ne
EMPLOYER of four other men, ana is
on the road to become nllllon-
aire, monopolist, plutocrat and other
things that campaign orators hold
up as something which voters ought TO
nut down. Yet the voters ana the
orator, ask nothing better than to be-
come one OF that hated class. John
Stephenson, the great car builder, who
was buried last Saturday, says the New
York Press, is an illustration OF what
legitimate industry will do in this won
derfu country. He started with WI
nothing and he left about Ss,O00,ooo
He began at II working for nj week
and he died at 81, leaving an income OF
$4,000 week Yet it was all honestly
earned. 1t is said that Stephenson
never invested dollar in his life IN
speculation. He simply built with his
own hands the first street car ever
made, and he lived to see 5000 other
men building his street ears for almost
every country on the face of the globe.
His great fortune and the esteem III
which all his men held him shows that
no limit of "Sl 600, 900 honestly earned"
can be placed upon legitimate enterprise
and industry in this country.

THE Nautical Magazine contains
an article by DR.. J. B. Stocker for
the special instruction OF sailors in
the art of avoiding cholera. The
principal point made is that cholera is
a water borne disease" and that,
therefore, it is we'll to beware of the
drinking water under all conceivable
circumstances. The writer says the
Chinese are reported to be exempt
from cholera because they drink
nothing but tea, and he asks X the
true reason be not couched in the
fact that proper tea con only be
made with boiling water If the
Chinese are exempt from cholera, as
claimed, it must be that they never
drink water that has not been boiled
previously. Hence, If sailors will
take only pure water on board and
filter and bon all the water they use
there will be practically no carrying
OF cholera from one country to an.
other by trading vessels which start
on the voyage with clean bill OF
health. This information should be
equally valuable to "landlubhers" as
to those go who down to the sea In
ships. There need be little fear OF
cholera II the precaution be taken t.
boil before using all water that is
intended TO be taken inside the sys-
tenn and avoid the eating OF food
which has begun to decay.
