A DINNER-GIvER has mustered
courage to write to the newspapers
to complain Of the people who are al
ways late for that hospitable meal.
"Whatever time we it, and though
we give them quarter Of an hours
law-putting seven-forty-five for
eight, for example, on our invita-.
tions-they do not make their ap-
pearance till long afterward. The
dinner is spoiled, our other guests are
naturally annoyed, and yet there
seems no remedy" The remedy, as
James Payn points out, is of the
simplest and yet most efficacious
kind. Never wait. If the failure in
the arrival of these belated guests is
due to accident they will, of course,
be pleased that you did not put back
the dinner for an indefinite period;
SO far from being rude, you are CIV
ing them credit for the politest feel
ings. If they intend to be late
which is the only way some people
have of impressing others with a
sense OF their importance-they will,
on the other hand, be very possibly
offended at having been deprived of
the opportunity of putting their fell
lOw-creatures to inconvenience, and
the result is still more satisfactory
for they will never come again.

PREMIER GIOLOTTI. of Italy.

PREMIER GIoLOTTI, of Italy, reas-
sures holders of Italian government
paper that interest coupons will be
paid, rumorS to the contrary notwith-
standing. It was true, the minister
admits, that fresh taxes are being
extorted to provide for domestic ex-
penses, but gold would be required
in payment of customs and this would
pay bcndholderS. To have reached
this desperate extremity would seem
to indicate that Premier Giolotti is
nearly ready to ask for receiver. If
importation shall cease or be reduced
materially. where is his coupon-hold-
er TO get payment? The paper of the
country is repudiated by its creators,
and state Of general insolvency,
public and private, prevails. When
a nations honor is left to the contin-
gency Of imports it is not far from
bankruptcy.

TRAMP BOTTLES.

One of Them in From Voyage OF o'OVo
Miles.
Joseph Altman runs small sail poat
attached to the mosquito fleet reserve,
and as Mr.. Altman is one OF those VINO
90 down to the sea in ships he is on the
lookout for fotsam and jetsam at all
times. Sowhen on Monday morning he
noticed a bottle on the beach at Bolivar,
about thirty miles northeast OF Calves
ton. he took it in his net, figuratlvely,
sneaking. It was just common ola
class bottle. the same as many others
which have done duty as holders OF
whisky. but this bottle held no whisky,
nor did the cork show the marks OF
teeth-a sailor always uncorks bottle
with his teeth. :,
The bottle was covered with parnacles
and contained circular printed III t1er-
man, which stated that two bottles were
set af1oat from the P. and .. steamer
Petropolis, of Hamburger, Capt IN: AL
bert, at O'Clock A. NJ. on the lIth OF
Nav. 1891, in south latitude degrees 40
minutes, west longitude from Green
wich 81 degrees As minutes. The Pc
tropolis was then en- route from Lisbon
to Bahia. The finder of the bottle was
requested to forward the circular to the
German photographic bureau at Ham
burgh, or to the nearest German consul,
together with the time Of its finding
and whether the bottle contained no
sand.
The point at which the bottle was cast
into the sea is about l 300 miles east OF
Para and about $50 miles northeast OF
Bahia. Here the equatorial current
sweeps along, following the trend OF the
coast of Northern South America, the
Isthmus of Panama, Mexico and the
Gulf States. And along with it went
the bottle, fouted and jeered at by Cog
gle-eyed fishes, until it was stranded at
Bolivar beach. The waif had been 379
landed when Mr.. Altman found it. AS
the distance travelled is something over
5000 miles and as the bottle was picked
up $40 days after it was set afoat it must
have loafed along the way somewhat.
These tramp bottles might tell some in
teresting tales of travel could they
speak. Galveston NeUs.

If all that is expected of wood pulp

If all that is expected of wood pulp
is accomplished it is apt to become
much more of a king than ever was
cotton. Late patents cover inven-
tions for machines which are in
tended to spin and weave the fiber
as if it were cotton or wool, of which,
for the making of wearing apparel, it
is said to be the equal in every re-
spect. When our shirts and panta-
looms, our hats and shoes, our bath
tubs and collins are all made, as it is
possible they may be, Of pulp, the
product will certainly have come
nearer than ever did anything else Of
enjoying a monopoly Of supplying all
the ordinary wants Of man.

person in a bottle. The person rep
resented has first been photographed
upon a scale sufficiently reduced TO
allow him to enter the bottle. rms
nose has been made by arranging
mask around the subject-that is,
making a screen with an opening
similar to a Russian background, but
this is only done to mask the ground.
1t will perhaps be preferable to have
the subject step upon a stool covered
with black cloth. Whichever way 1t
is done, however. the impression once
taken there is nothing more to 40
but to photograph the bottle upon
large scale and the result Is accom-
plished.
1t can be seen what resources this
kind of photography offers to fertile
imagination. The arrangements may
be varied infinitely and produce seem
ingly impossible results. to the amaze
ment of people who do not know how
it is done.

as she was posed the local mayor en-
tered with bouquet, which he was
about to present in prepared speech.
He got stuck in his lines, became so
amazingly fustered that her majesty
laughed, and just then the photog-
rapher snapped his camera. The
portrait, with the face lighted with
a smile. gives altogether a different
impression of the Queen.

The Doctor.

"Our physicians" says a writes IN
the Christian Herald, "nave so many
hardships, so many Interruptions, SO
many annoyances, l am glad they
have so many eDcourage.ents. All
doors open TO them. They are well
come to mansion and to cot. Little
children shout when they see them
coming down the road, and the aged,
recognizing the step, look up and
say, Doctor, is that you? They
stand between our families and the
grave, fighting back the troops OF
disorder that come up from their en-
campment by the cold river. No
one hears such thanks as the doctor
hears. They are eyes to the blind,
they are feet to the lame, their path
is streWn with the benedictiOns OF
those whom they have befriended.
One day there was dreadful fore
boding in our house. All hope was
gone The doctor came four times
that day. The children put away
their toys and all walked on tiptoe,
and at the least sound said 'Hush!'
How loudly the clock did tick, and
how the banister creaked, though
we tried to keep it still! That night
the doctor stayed all night. He
concentrated all his skill upon the
sufferer. At last the restlessness Of
the sufferer subsidized in calm, sweet
slumber, and the doctor looked up
and smiled, and said: The crisis is
passed. When propped up with pill
lows, in the easy chair she sat, and
the south wind tried to blow a rose
leaf into the faded cheek, and the
children brought fiowers-the one a
red clover top, the other a violet
from the lawn-to the lap Of the con-
valescent, and Bertha stood on a
high chair with a brush smoothing
her mothers hair, and we we're told
in a day or two she might ride out,
JOY came back to our house.
And as we helped the old country
doctor into his gig, we noticed not
that the step was broken, or the
horse stiff in the knees, and we all
realized for the first time in our life
what doctors were worth. Encourage
them. They deserve every kindness
at our hands"

EVEN college professors can learn
something and the faculties of other
institutions of learning will find a
valuable object lesson in the details
which preceded the expelling of three
students from Princeton for playing
the role of barbarians under the
name of hazing. Young men with
their penchant for cruel sport should
be able to find vent in the football
team, but fellows of their stamp gen.
orally lack the manly courage to en-
gage in that rough-and-tumble sport.

Mr.. STEAD is not the only gentle
man who has ideas respecting an
ideal, reformed newspaper. William
Morton Payne thinks that he, too,
could revolutionize journalism if
given the opportunity. In a maya
zine article he discourses at some
length on the subject, and, according
to the invariable custom of the jour
nalistic reformer, falls foul of the re-
porter. On Mr.. Payne's ideal paper
the reporter "will he a scholar
which now he is not-and gentle
man-which now he is not permitted
to be" ETC., etc. This of course is
pure rubbish. The average reporter
is not scholar as Samuel Johnson
and Francis Bacon were scholars, but
he is a man of wide information upon
current events and he is not infre-
qnently a college graduate-which
by the way, does him precious little
good. If he is not gentleman he
does not long continue to be re-
porter on any decent paper. Ills
calling requires the exercise of cour-
tesy. Mr.. Payne has been led astray
by the old tradition which pictured
the reporter as a registering bohemian
who never went to bed and who con-
sidered it a point of honor to wear a
shirt three weeks at a stretch. This
reporter never existed except in the
imagine ton of persons who, like Mr..
Payne, were bent on reforming the
profession of journalism at one
Whack, and who pitched upon the
reporter as good subject to begin
with.

fact, a condition of hypnotism, and,
so far from indicating inattention to
the sermon, shows rather complete
absorption by it. Fixing ones mind
on the voice of the minister, in the
otherwise complete silence Of the
audience-room, produces just the con-
ditions necessary to domination by
another's mind, and the nodding
head and dropping heavy eyelids are
not eloquent of the preachers dull
ness, but rather mute testimonials of
his powerful influence.
