A JaDanese Editor.

Editors may find some consolation in
the fact that they have inspired feelings
of envy in the breasts of Il young Japa-
nese boy. A recent issue of an East In
dian paper contained the following note:
"a schoolboy in Loerabaya was asked
to describe an editor of a paper. He did
so in this way: An editor is the l1ckiest
man in the world. He can go to cir
Gus every afternoon and every evening
without paying cent. He can go also
to the court houses, the places of execu-
tion and the races.
He has free tickets to all theaters, re-
ceives presents at his Office. and gets his
ears boxed too. He goes also to Prigen,
Malang or Lawang (places of amuse-
ment( He does not do this often. how
ever. In one paper he can deny every
thing that was said in the previous one,
and he does so. as a rule. When other
people are already in bed. the editor is

The Proposed New States.

Pittsburgh Times.
The Democrats appear to be afraid
that the Republicans are stealing a
march on them in the caucus action OF
Senators favoring the admission of New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona as
States, and so Senator Faulkner yester-
day introduced bill to admit Utah
Oklohoma is said to be the only one
likely to be Republican, but the Sena-
tors say they did not consider the polit-
ical aspect of the case, and would ad-
nit the territories simply because they
will not prosper as they should until
they are in the Union and in commas d
of their own affairs. Utah is set dow n
asSurely Democratic, and that may ac-
copnt for Senator Fauikner's action
There is the less objection to the admis-
sion of that territory because of the gen.
eral conviction that polygamy has been
finally abandoned. The suspicion tere-
tofore has been that the polygamous
Mormons have been planning to get the
territory made State and then assert
their right as the majority of the State

feature of their faith, New Mexico is
politically do Ibtful, and how Arizona
would be is not said. On the theory

The Endowment of Daughters.

The propriety of endowing daughters
appears to be now seriously discussed in
different parts of the country. This
arises partly out of a growing sense of
justice, which, the philosophers say, is
the last sentiment to be developed in the
case of women, and partly out of the
commercial exigencies which in the last
twenty years have left stranded so many
women with no means of livelihood.
The endowment of daughters would ac
complish several ends. 1t would enable
them to marry the men of their choice
it would support them if they do not
marry. and in case of commercial disas-
ter would furnish at least temporary
provision for the family, The matter
has progressed until the methods of en-
dowments in different countries are un-
der advisement.
According to Sir Henry Maine it was
the passing of the Roman dowry into
France after the conquest of Gaul that
has made OF France the richest and most
prosperous of nations 1t is unlikely.
however. desirable as it might be, that
the frugality and self denial the hum
blest Frenchman practices to lay aside
his daughters dowry will appeal to a
nation accustomed to easy living and as
impatient for swift results as this.-New

A Sermon Exchange.

The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in the young and enterpris-
ing west is the Sermon exchange" of
Chicago. According to popular belief
the practice of clergymen has been to
write sermons until they had filled a
barrel Then the barrel would be turned
upside down and the sermons all
preached over again. Where minister
remained in church a great many years
the congregation would after awhile be-
gin to know when the barrel was turned
Some sermons were looked forward to
with much interest and others with more
or less dismay The Sermon exchange
is to do away with all of this. 1t is no
longer necessary to preach sermon over
a second time. The preacher can take
an old sermon and tie twenty-five cents
to it. This he sends to the exchange and
receives one written by some one else
by return mail. or if he has no sermon to
send he can get one for fifty cents.-Bal-

Prosperous Negroes.

When the war closed there were about
600 negroes owned by the Creek Indians.
When they were free the Indians at
tempted to drive them ont of the terri
tory The government wouldn't permit
it. but made them citizens of the Creek
nation and clothed them with all the
rights and privileges of & full blood.
The Indians were compelled to accept
this state of affairs. For awhile they
badly treated their black skinned broth
ers. heaping all sorts of indignities upon
them, which were borne with patient
fortitude. When the lands were divided
the government gave them a pro rata
share They have increased in popula-
ton, now numbering about 1000, raised

The Worthy Novel.

The novel that is worthy of the name,
and which is calculated to render a
broader service than the pecuniary COM
pensation of its author. is the one which
takes the problems of life as they present
themselves to US all, and by the example
of the characters portrayed teaches US
the way to their proper solution; that
presents us with types of manly and
womanly character that may inspire the
reader to emulation of their excellences,
and that is withal natural, helpful,
concrete story of life of lives. Such a
novel is worth all the literary freaks
that ever have been or ever will be pro-
duced.-Donahoe's Magazine.

Distributing Time TabIes.


1t is fact not generally known that
the furnishing of railroad time tables TO
the hotels of the city is performed by a
regularly incorporated company, who
make that work their sole occupation.
Something had to be done to correct
the evil of having old time tables in
the courtroom and porters' closets of the
hotels which gave nothing but misin-
formation to the traveller. if indeed he
could find any time table at all. and so
the general passenger agent of one of the
trunk line roads hit upon the scheme of
forming time table supply company
This was done about year ago and has
now assumed large proportions.
The profits in the business are consid-
cradle and come from the railroad COM
panies. Some seventy or eighty of the
prominent roads of the country are sub
scribers. They supply their folders and
time slips to the company and subscribe
literally for the work of having them
distributed among the large hotels and
other resorts of New York and Brooklyn
The company furnishes each hotel with
neat rack. either stationary or revolv-
ing, and supports delivery wagon and
an agent. whose duty it is to make the
rounds weekly. putting new time tables
In place and replenishing the depleted
supply.
AS consequence it is far easier and
more certain matter to obtain accurate
information in New York regarding the
movements of western and southern
trains than it ever was before. and every
one who has waited for an hour or more
at a lonesome railway station or has lost
half day through misinformation will
bless the genius who invented railway

A Prize Easily Won.

Old Boar, and relieved the monotony by
cracking jokes and telling funny stories.

WIND WINDS A CLOCK.
An Ingenious Contrivancr of an Inventor
I'm Belgium.

An Ingenious Contriyance of an Inventor
I'm Belgium.
The Garre de Nord. Brussels, has been
fitted with a mechanical wonder In the
shape of a clock. which, although con-
stantlv exposed to all kinds of weather,
never gets ont of repair, nor does it need
to be wound by the hand of man. 1t is
perpetual timekeeper Of the most unique
and original design, the running weight
being kept in constant motion either
through the influence of grayitation, as
when ON the descending trip. or by the
winds action on fan attachment which
causes the weight to rise to level with
the top of the framework. The winding
attachment is not windmill of the reg
ulation type. but is fan placed in a
common chimney. the paddles being act
ed upon by the natural up cast or
draft"
As soon as this fan has raised the
running weight TO Its extreme height,
the cord to which the weight is attached
acts on a wheel which throws a brake
into gear. and the more rounds of cord
that are added, so much more strongly
does the brake act to prevent the weight
from rising any higher. the checking
tendency being transmitted to the fan
wheel with every revolution.
A simple pawl arrangement prevents
the down draft from exerting any con-
trary influence on the fan wheel There
is not. as one might suppose on first
thought, any necessity of having fire
in the stove or fireplace of the chimney
TO which this odd clock is attached.
The natural tendency of air is to ascend
through such vents, the draft thus Gre
ated being always sufficient for weight
winding purposes. The clock might be
placed at the top of hollow tree with a
bottom opening, or any other cylinder
from fifteen to twenty-five feet in height.
With its present attachments this
clock runs but twenty-four hours after
the winding fan stops, but by the addi-
ton of another wheel or two. might be
made to runa month or two even though
the up draft were not sufficiently strong
to turn the winding wheel in the mean
time. The inventor is native of Bel
gium.-St. Louis Republic.
