That's Just It.

81 read the other day." said cit
izen to a LIGHT man, "that in one
of the states, if / remem Der rightly
New York, it was proposed to make
the furnishing of false, libelous
news to reporters as an offence
greater, indeed than the libel laws
hold the criminality Of the press. /
suppose this idea is based upon that
old precept that the "receiver is
worse than the thief" and certain
ly the instigators of crime, as libel
is termed, should be more severely
punished than he that gives, what
he believes to be accurate news.
And this | think is the best idea l
have seen for long time. l know
that you newspaper men are
men of the world, and are not
often fooled by plausible, false
stories, but the best, even the
shrewdest financiers are liable to
make a miscue. In such case,
where the information is given by
an apparently reliable source, in
case of libel, the informant, and
not the paper, should bear the pen
atty caused by his own laundering
or righteousness. / know you will
agree with me, for it is to your in
terest, but 1 believe the public gen.
orally will concur in this measure
of equitable justice. Any way l
am quite sure the adoption of such
law would be for the public good"

singers who row seem to hum a
chant that sounds like the refrain
ot"Some People Say That Niger
Won't Steal" forget their import
ant role in the affair and join in
the laugh. The religious effect on
the coy sister seems to be magical,
for she throws herself about wildly
in a fit of ecstaeies, which profane
people call the "holy laughs" and
is led out Of the water, yelling and
wildly pitching herself about in
faithful imitation of a yelping pup
that has rubbed a very sore spot
against a leaking turpentine bar
rel.
A long time the pastor held his
hand aloft, before the solemn
equilibrium of the occasion is so
fairly restored. But the crowd has
been-completely upset, so to speak,
and it remains upset. The coy
| sisters antics seem to be danger
ously infectious, for nearly every
other candidate strives, to all APP
pearances, to crafty eXaggerate
and multiply the jumping
jack and tom cat voiced
pranks of her predecessor. If
there was any ache among the
laughing, roaring multitude, it
was not heartaehe, but laugh ache,
resulting from an over-worked dia-
phragm, and If there were any
tears shed they were not the bitter
sweet tears of sympathy and sor-
row, but belonged to the variety
that trickle down your cheeks
when some nauseating clown slips
upon a banana peel and falls
through the big bass drum with
which he has been keeping up a
hideous din.
The last candidate having been
baptized, the preacher once more
holds up his hand and once more
admonishes the heartless multi
tude.
"You may think it laughable,"
he says, shut it is the way. /
know that it is the way, because
the Bible says so. There will be
more baptisms here next Sunday"
The police at once clear the
streets of the jam of the vehicles
and the crowd disperses. The
river banks are deserted and the
fidgeting, whimpering sisters are
| led off bV their friends and rela-
tives. The livery stable hostlers,
who have been patiently waiting
for a chance to drive their horses
into the water for a bath, have
now taken possession of this natur-
al baptismal font and put their
charges through performance,
which, if not quite the same, is at
least quieter and far more digni-
fed. LOITERER.

our Craze For Birnass.

The craze for ''bigness" evidences
itself in many ways in the United States.
Enormously high buildings are now be-
coming a dangerous mania. The Cham
Der of Commerce in New York is 200
feet high; but, great as that height
seems, it is only a comparatively lofty
structure. The Masonic temple is 27O
feet high and has no fewer than 90
stories. There are several that come
near to this, but the Manhattan Life
Assurance company's building will be
the highest in America, for though it is
to contain two stories less than are
found in the Masonic temple-only 10,
that is to say it will be $50 feet from
roof to pavement. -Exchange.

rhe Past obllterated.

George Hunter, aged 10 years. has re-
sided in this city since his birth. Today
he has no idea as to where is located the
house in which he was born. He does
not know where to find the house in
which he resided a year ago, shortly be-
fore he entered Oakland hospital. The
young man has lost his memory, and the
past to him is as if he had Just been
born. The loss of memory is due to an
injury sustained by being struck by a
heavy piece of iron which was thrown
by a stationary engine. The skull was
fractured. and Il large part of it was
pressed upon the BRAIN. Hunter survived
the operation, and although he is still in
an unfortunate condition, his physicians
seem to think he will eventually regain
his faculty of memory.-San Francisco

left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell so far, nearly 100, 900
of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to ~dishearten him; obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
OF it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in use everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 200, 900 more Of his
make. That means a business of $20,-
000, 900, if we average them at 500 each.
1t is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

over 200 pounds and is OF average height.
took a hasfy inventory of his clothing
which he hal donned in haste. First he
threw his valise and umbrella from the
window. His silk hat was cooked on
the back of his head. He wore no trou
sers, that garment being about his neck.
and his limbs were covered by rel fam

wore his shoes in his pocket. Eat he

Germs In Milk.

Those fortunate people who have "their
own cow have an extra care laid upon
them by their possession. Their milk
cans must be kept in an absolutely per-
feet condition.
They should be washed, scalded and
wiped perfectly dry after using. Then
they must be set out in the sun for 10
hours, or If that is impossible, put before
the fire. Just before they are used again
they should be washed. scalded and
dried again. There is nothing in which

extra care is necessary to make sure that
the utensils contain no germs.-New

A~RlSTocRATlc NURSES.

Fashionable English DANES Learning to
he Practical In the Sickroom.
Two or three years ago the Prince and
Princess Of Wales distributed badges
and prizes to a large number of profess
sional nurses and afterward entertained
them royalty at Marlborough House. It
was expected that fashionable danes
would show their appreciation Of the
royal example by taking up nursing as q
recreation. but little was done until a
few months ago, when the National
Health society opened classes for the
benefit of the aristocracy, at which
something more is taught than a coquet-
fish arrangement of caps and aprons.
The idea is to teach ladies the value of
good nursing and enable them to learn
something about fit food for invalids and
how to give first assistance to the in
Jured, in all of which, it seems, duch-
esses, countesses and the like are la
mentally deficient.
The Duchess of Bedfordis particularly
active in the work. She has placed her
fine house in Belgrave square 1t the dis
posal Of the society's lectures on every
Wednesday during the winter season,
and, as the curse includes an afternoon
tea, the attendance Ia expected to be
large. The proceedings should certainly
be interesting, as it il announced that
each lecture twill be practically Illus
trated with q patient, bedding, ETC."
The pioneer among the a~ristocracy Of
nursing and sanitation was Lady Brooke,
who, with her husband, enjoys the par
ticular friendship of the Prince Of Wales.
Her ladyship has for years been accus-
toned to keep a sharp eye on the water
supply and sanitary arrangements Of the
villages on her estates in the counties OF
Warwick and Essex, often to the deep
disgust Of the cottagers, who claimed
the inherent right Of q Briton to please
himself in such matters, and who OBJ
jected strongly to being coerced into
cleanliness on pain of eviction. Puritan
ical people have sometimes said hard
things of Lady Brooke. 1t is right that
credit should be given her in this mat
ter.-London Letter.
