Bismarck's Aphorisms.
The Speaker.

The fact that Bismarck, in his pensive
moments, has been a forger of sententious
aphorlsms was brought TO mind by the ap-
pearauce last week in Paris of translation
of his Notebook of Youth" This work
dates from the great mans nineteenth year,
and it is full of solemn remarks. For
example: Love is blind: friendship shuts
the eyes" (Which is not bad by the way).
Again: ou often hear the rich man say
Ing to the poor man, 1 have no money A
great mind In certain fashionable gather
ings says as much by its silence" ain the
tete- a-tete," says Bismarck, "a woman
speaks aloud to the man who is Indifferent
TO her, low to the man she is near loving.
and keeps silence with the man she loves"
We seem 10 have heard something like
this before; but when the Prince com pares
wise men to STEM winding watches, which
have attached to themselves the machinery
for regulating them, and other men to old
fashioned watches, which need separate
key, he is entirely original Let us conclude
with the following, which is worthy of the
author of Three Men in a Boat: Read
ing 10 medical book one fancies one has
all the maladies it describes similarly when
reading the work of moralist one discovers
all the faults he points Out-in Others"

THE OARsMEN.
Stanbury's Injured Knuckle Will Keep
Him Quiet Awhile.

James Stanbury, the champion oarsman,
is fairly good boxer and to prove 10 one of
the instructors of the Olympic Club that he
knew a trick or two with the gloves he pro-
posed friendly setto few days ago. The
proposition was accepted and az Stan bury
was sending in hot shot with right and left
at the Instructors face the latter ducked
and his forehead came in contact with the
great oRrsman's fist, which resulted in the
breaking Of a knuckle Of Stanbury's right
hand. The champion will now have to
nurse the wounded member for at least Two
weeks before resuming any kind of athletic
practice.
Stanbury's race with Peterson is Just as
far off as ever, and according to Peterson's
hackers the prospect for a contest between
Henry and James on this coast looks any,
thing but favorable, as the Australian Will
not consent to giving handicap.
II a match should be consummated between
Gaudaur and Stanbury on Eastern waters
for a stake the public will quickly realize
that the American sculler is only looking
for gate receipts, as it is a well-knOwn fact
Stanbury can give Gaudaur or any of the
American OaTsmen start Of twenty seconds
and beating in a thTee-mie race. As an
exhibition an even up race between STAN
bury and any of the numerous American
cham pions would prove a success, as a large
gathering of people would flock TO see the
champion extend himself in what can be
fttingly said to be a Stanbnry practice
spin.
This is what a Toronto paper of March
18 says Of StanburY: The arrival OF
James Stanbury, the champion Of the
world, from Australia, in San Francisco.
almost totally unheralded as 1t was, has
made American oarsmen active and expect

with challenges, and will be kept busy up-

gotlations at once. The Orillian will
be in Toronto on Monday, coming
down for the meeting with Hsnlan
on the following day. when the second de-
pOsit will be posted, and that momentous
flip OF the coin will be made by the referee
as to whether Orilia or Toronto will bs the
place where the race is rowed. After that
Gaudaur will start for Austin, Tex, where
regatta, In which the first prize is $500,
will take place on April q. While down
in that direction he will probably meet per-
s0nally the Australian.
Hanlan Is ready to meet Stanbury. and
has already put himself in communication
with the champion with view to bringing
about race.

COURSING,

The finish of the big meeting which was
held last Sunday at Ocean View Park will
take place today
Many of the best dogs in the State will
cut dash this afternoon when liberated
from the slips, and if the ground is in any
thing like fair condition some great racing
should ensue.
The proposed big race-meeting between
the "cracker-jack" dogs of the Pacific
Coursing Club and some Of the famous
"djers" OF Australia would give a great
boom to coursng IN this country If
arranged.

THE NEWSPAPER WOMAN.
She Has to Work Faithfully and Well
and Is Judged by Her Merits.
Iippincotts Magazine.

LippincOtt's Magazine.
1t has been loosely estimated that there
are several thousand newspaper women in
this country. In reality there are less than
$50. There is a distinction between news
paper writing and writing for the news
papers, and the young lady who docs q
little space work" in the intervals of her
social or business engagements was not
considered in the compilation of these
statistics.
The $50 writer's who have been considered
are newspaper women in the best sense of
the word. They hold staff positions on
journals OF good standing, or they have had
experience which fits them for such po-
sitions: they have learned to recognize news
when they hear it, and they know how TO
present it to the public IN the most attractive
form; they can judge Of its comparative
value and the amount Of space il should be
given In newspaper; they can edit
their own copy If necessary; they
know something about a composing-room
and can distinguish between a form and a
piece of type; they have learned why 1t Is
not sheer waste OF material to write on
but one side OF their paper; they know that
a newspaper Office is not drawiug-rOOm,
and that they cannot expect drawing-room
manners in it; they have learned that the
highest compliment an editor can pay his
woman associate Is 10 treat her as If she
were man. promptly reprimanding her for
blunder and giving her word of praise
for good woTk-if he happens to think Of it.
Last and most important point of all,
these women earn their living with their
pens. This is the crucial test. Luck, pluck
and influence may keep one afioat for few
months, but the editors OF to-day are not
knowingly buying bad copy. II one partic-
ular editor be disposed to overlook The
charming Miss Blanks little errors of fact
| and grammar, the copy-readers, the associ-
ate editors and the great power behind the
throne will soon throw q searchlight
upon them which can have but one result
Miss Blanks work must stand on its merits
In no other profession does she have so
| many and such merciless critics.

been the result of his imagin alton and fear,
vanished and in its place stood an enormous
mountain lion looking very fer0cious and
hungry.
At the sight of something tangible Aliens
presence of mind returned, and he lighted
the candle and took out small pocket
knife, determined 10. make as much OF
fight as possible and not TO die without let
ting the beast know whom he was killing
Allen set his candle down and looked at
the lion and the lion looked at him. The
beast was Just at the bottom of the inclined
shaft and blocked the way to the outside
world.
The lion did not seem In any hurry to
make the attack, so Allen took up his candle
and retTeated into the tunnel in the hone
that lie could find one of the vertical shafts
with enough ladder left for him to get out
of the BEASTS way. He found plenty of
shafts. but the ladders had all disappeared
years ago. He was on the first level, about
forty feet from the surface, and the vertical
shafts from the surface all went straight
down nearly hundred feet below. There
was no way Of crossing them, so Allen
always had TO turn back aud the lion always
succeeded in keeping about ten feet ahead
of him and followed him again as soon IS
he found tunnel he could 90 into. 1t was
plain that the lion was afraid OF the light,
but when that was gone there would be no
hope.
The tunnels formed a perfect labyrinth.
There were dozens of them, and Allen had
no idea where he was or how far from the
opening. He simply wandered around, the
lion following or preceding, as the condi-
tions demanded.
1t must have been hours from the time
the lion first appeared and the candle had
burned down to only an inch or so. Things
were getting serious. but still the man
stumbled along as best he could.
he seemed to be passing the same place
many times, but al last came to a pile of
straw and few feet ahead was a shaft
with plank across it. 1t was ray of hope.
BE was sure he had not struck that place
before and saw the means of escape.
The candle was so short ii almost burned
his fingers, but he picked up handful of
the straw and started across the plank. 1t
was old and nearly rotten, and beneath him
were 100 feet of space. If the plank broke
1t meant certain death. Now he was as
near one side as the other and the lion was
watching him from the straw pile.
The plank bent more and more. and
seemed ready TO slip off at either end but
one good step and he was safe on the other
side, and the candle had become so short he
had to carry it on the fat of his hand.
He quickly pulled the plank to the same
side OF the shaft as himself, while the lion
stood on tire other side -lashing his tail with
fury. 1t was a long jump. and the beast
was hestating about jumping it when
Allen decided the matter for him. He

The New York behaved rather badly on
her last voyage from Liverpool to New
York. There was something wrong with
her screws. She met with some nasty
weather. One big wave broke over the
bridge and smashed a ventilator. A party
of engineers visited her at her pier and
went through her, even crawling among the
boilers in the stoke-hole. Some of them
had never seen an ocean steamer before,

The billiard tournament OF the Olympic
Club, which is now drawing toward a close,
has been the most successful In every
particular OF any tournament ever held

will wind up inside of two weeks.

down the house, and are constant remind
