A Mora Ahont Press clnL,,

Lifo Is sorry to see the New York Press club engaged in a scheme that sa- vors of blackInailiDg. A few of the mem. bers of the club arc reputable newspaper men, and their connection with it en. ables tho organization to come at tho business and general public of New York with scheme apparently backed up by the entire newspaper guild.
 The demands made in behalf of the app preaching fair are not actually accom- panied by threats of newspaper retribu- ton, but in most cases the person ap- preached is made generous by an unde- fined dread of what may happen to him if he isn't. With the demand is coupled the assurance that the Press club is q philanthropic institution, which takes care of its members in sickness and bur ies them when dead.
 This is a humiliating reflection on the members of the newspaper profession. The great majority of them and the most reputable of them do not belong to the Press club ut all They arc self respecting and make their own proyi- sion for sickness and death, or, at all events, do not appeal to the general pub lie, directly or indirectly, to do those things which every real man IS expected to do for himself.
 There is growing knowledge among the public that the Press club idea, not only in New York, but elsewhere, is strongly worked, and for their own ad- vantage, by men who either are mol newspaper men at all or whose. connec. tion with the press is very slight. II will be a good thing when this knowledge becomes general.-Life.

tyorl,ing For the oueen of Engiana.


 The absence of Queen Victoria in Flor ence has spared her the pain of reading in the London newspapers the ungrate- ful declaration of man employed as carter on her Windsor private estate. The man was defendant in Q civil action involving the payment of money and pleaded poverty. Tho queen, he said, paid no better than other people, and her people had to work harder. His wages were 10 shillings week and lodgings found, which did not leave him much to spare after feeding himself.
 "Ah, said the magistrate trying the case, "you should think of the honor"
 The defendant sturdily replied. to the amazement of the court, that there wasn't much honor to be got out of 10 shillings week.
 It would seem from this case that the queen pays her farm laborers and work men generally on her private estate from 2to shillings 9 week less than the aver age wages in the district, which is not at all surprising to those who know her frugal, not to say parsimonioua mind. She would not in any case read the in dignant comments of the radical press, because she reads only the Tory Times, Morning Post and Whig Daily Telegraph when at home, and not one of these would venture to hurt her feelings by referring to such a matter. During her stay abroad she sees only The Times, which of course is absolutely safe read ing.-London Cor. New York Sun

Tho snn nI,il,a.

It was in Bayard Taylor's day that the sun myth had its vogue. One night at a party Taylor was greatly bored by the persistent efforts of guest to discuss sun myths. No matter what direction the conversation might take this person would ruthlessly drag it back again to his favorite topic.
 At last the distressed poet raised a very interesting question in regard to the threadbare subject. Did you ever think" he asked, "that the name Smith so common all over the world is derived from sun myth?' No one had ever dreamed of such thing. Max Muller had overlooked the point completely.
 Quite possible, certainly most plaus- ible," said Taylor, "Sun myth, Sumyth, Smyth, Smith, and some still spell the name with y" The discussion was ended. Youths Companion.

The Control of Inc Nicaragua canai.

The cost of the Nicaragua caHai las been yariously estimated. The latest l have seen, and believe lt to be the high est, is Ss7, ,00o, GOO, Thecompany engaged in it's construction proposes 10 raiso in some way Sl00, ,000, ,000--an excess of el3.- 600, GOO above the estimated cost-to pay interest till the canal is in operation and to provide for contingencies that may arise. The sum is not large if the pat ronage the canal shall receive proves to be anything hlio what is predicted and seems probable.
 There are differences of views as to how the canal shall be constructed and controlled when in operation. As it will prove most advantageous to our own commerce, and as under public control excessive profits will not be made on the money invested, there is Q prevailing sentiment that the government should build it and manage it after it is built. that it should be free to Anietican ship ping, and tax imposed on foreign pa irons only to an extent that Is necessary to pay the expense of management and repair and a reasonable income on tho cost of construction.

The Biggest Fresh Water Cargo,


 The new steamer Selwyn Eddy, the largest freight carrier in the world float ing on fresh water, was loaded recently for her initial trip. Sine carries the larg- est cargo of wheat ever shipped on the lakes. A close estimate places her exact capacity at 15O GOO bushels or about 35,- GOO bushels more than tho largest cargo ever carried on the lakes.
 An ordinary freight car carries about 300 bushels of wheat, and the Selwyn Eddys cargo is equal to 300 carloads. A train containing 300 cars would be about two miles long. Twelve engines would be required to draw such train. The cargo of the Eddy, if ground into flour and made into bread, would feed S0O00 people for one year,-Detroit Tyib- 1Inp

An "Ode" which Mir. Gladstone com. posed when he was a younger man than he now Is has been printed in London It is full Of truisms, fair specimen of which Is tho remark at the opening of the eleventh section:
 We are amid tho tumult and the stress
 Ofa fierce eddyiug fight,
 And Co our mortal sight
 Our fato is trembling in the balances.
 This statement is truthful. obviously true. It Is standing truth, and when properly regarded it is not discouragiug to man of the derring do kind. The last line of tho stanza ought to prompt and impel all men to do their best amid the tumult, as we must trust Mir. Glad stone himself is doing. As mere poetry the Ode is open to criticism upon four sides. Its thought is feeble, it's wording poor, its figures incongruous and it's rhyme bad Gladstone does not seem to be much of @ poet-New York Sun,

My method of raising tomatoes for family use have feund quite successful. The first requisite is good strong, potted plants, so far advanced as to be ready to blSssom. Last ycar some of them at planting time had fruit set. l havo the ground prepared beforehand, making the hills about four feet apart and working up the soil to the depth of eight inches Where the plants are to go. I find good soil works as well for tomatoes as for other crops. After the middleo of May or as soon as warm weather has fairly come the plants are transferred from tho pots, the earth and roots adhering in such q way that transplanting does not in the least check tbeir growth
 As soon as the young plants attain suf- ficient size to need 1t, strong stalSes about feet in length are driven in the ground to which they are tied. This was sug- gested to mo several years ago, and ! find it very satisfactory. It keeps them off the ground, thus preventing rotting and gives free scDpd to sunshine and air If the growth of Inc plants is tco strong, the ends. arc Slipped of from time to time es well hs supe,iiuous branches, l never plant two rows together prefer ring to give them the full benefit of the sunshine on all sides. The tomato is em- phaticRllS d warm weather plant and will not flourish in the shade, Thorough cultivation and frequent stirring of the soil, especially iO Gry weather, is impor- tant.-~Cor.

Pneumatic caissons For-.f .mIdIng.


 Pneumatic caissons are being used in preparing tho foundation for the new office building which is being erected on lower Broadway by the Manhattan Life Insurance company. This structure is being built on Q lot 122 by e feet in size and at a place where a rock bottom can- not be reached without passing through quicksand full of water. Fifteen of these caissons will be employed, four circular and Il rectangular. The latter vary in size from 25s feet in length by 2ii feet in width to i3 feet square The largest of tho circular caissons is i5 feet in di- ameter and the smallest 10 feet. They are made by riveting together steel plates, angle bars and beams into boxes from to 10 feet in depth, with top thoroughly braced with steel beams tc support the superposed loads. All the rivets on the sides have couniersunli holes on tho outside 50 as 10 diminish tho friction which arises when the caissons are sinking. All the openings in the top are carried up through the masonry which is lail oa top of the caisson and are provided with the same valves that arc used in sabaqueous works. It is stated that these caissons will be lhe first over employed in building construction,

 Who could have told before the other day that Mannheim held her epoch making tailor2 Who even in Mannheim knew itp Mein Herr Dowe4-the miracu- ious, as he Is discovered to be--was known to his fellow citizens as a plain schneider" of whom something might be made were it possible to multiply him by nine. And now where are the nine men-barring the emperor, Prince Bismarck and Count von Caprivi-who have stirred the fatherland as Herr Dove has'stirred it these few days?
 A little while ago Herr Dove was so impecunious that he was constrained to beg the loan of the pistol wherewith he has privately tried his experiment. This moment he may if he like be rich beyond the dreams of avarice. Emperors are "wiring" him, syndicates are clustering round him, French and Russian spies are trying to bag him, and German de- tectiyes-as they appear to be-are foil ing the spies Most wonderful tailorl
 Our correspondents account makes it clear that the new coat of mail is rigid garment which the warrior can put on his breast when he faces the foe, or clap on his back when he runs away from him. But it strikes us that the miracu- lous tailor has not and cannot solve the serious problem of impact. His coat of mail can stop the swiftest bullet, but it cannot destroy the force of the blow. Be cause bullet is so small a thing, few people, soldiers excepted, understand how great it's weight is at its terrific speed. A soldier receiving bullet on his coat of mail would iii all probability be knocked senseless for time.
 We can fancy him slowly coming tc himself again, sitting mp and leisurely looking round about him to see how things were going on. He has been tech nically dead for, say, or 10 most pre- cious minutes. But it is possible that il 30 or 40 per cent of his regiment we're ir the same position they might just as well, from the generals point of view i be physically dead for all time, and that though lives were saved the day might be lost.

The daily papers arc rejoicing over tho Iact that 10 times as many people at- tended the theater on Fast day as at tended the churches, and this is given as reason why Fast day should be abol- shed.
 Have not the 5000 people who showed their appreciation of Fast day by ob- serving it in a religious manner as much right to that privilege as had the 3O,000 who attended theaters right to spend the day according to their own inclina- lions? Would the substitution of Good Friday, which is really the underlying motive for abolshing Fast day, be an improvement from a religious stand point?- Boston Womans Voice

A little boy of years attending q pr1. mary public school in Charlcstown was rattaned by his teacher, went home, was taken with convulsions the next day and died within week after. The attempt is now made to show that the child's death was caused by the shock and fright of the whipping. twill be difficult, and probably will be impossible, to show this conclusively. But it should not be nec- essary to prove fatal results of whip ping in our public schools in order 70 bring that method of discipline under condemnation The rattan has no place in the equipment of acompotent teacher, and those who cannot teach without it have no place in tho corps of highly paid and presumptively capable teachers Ill tho Boston public schools.

Tho Deeay ol Winter sport. In Canada.

The average mhabitant of the States" in going to Canada in the winter time expects, l have no doubt, to see tho streets and hillsides covered with snow shoes and tob0ggaus, He may be sur prised to learn that thor0 is but one really good toboggan slide in Canada, and that is at Montreal, while snow shoers are numbered now by tens where formerly they were counted by hun dreds. It is simple enough to under stand what has brought about this change in what is usually accepted as the typical Canadian winter sport.
 A few years ago, when tobogganing and snow shoeinghourished purely for the great sport furnished, tho professional inpresario, aided by the hotel proprietor, conceived the idea of booming Montreal and incidentally enriching themselves by holding winter carniyals, the main expenses of which were borne by Mon treal merchants For a time they drew largely, and Canada was literally aliy, with snowshoes and toboggans, but aLon they palled, and thclastuuch advertised carnival was highly uninteresing from a spectators point of view,--Harper's Weekly.
