Might Get q Licking.

The Williamsburg (Miss.) Watch
man gives a glowing lesson in news
paper etiquette when it says: Some
people think that an editor should be
all nose and put his proboscis into
every mans affairs. Because a man
edits a paper is no eason why he should
inquire into the family history of every
man in his community. It's not our
province as a newspaper man to go to
a stranger when he comes to town and
ask him If he has ever been in the
asylum Or If he is crazy. We might
get a licking if We did such things. It's
not our business to take up every ru-
NOR and give it dignity by publishing
it. It's not our profession to feed the
public on sensational rot Of a debased
and degraded nature.

May IL, 1892, we dropped the rattan
and the primer, left the schoolroom,
and boldly Though blindly) jumped
over into the next field-the field Of
journalism. The venture was regarded
by many as being intensely rash, and
not a few predicted that the News
would not survive a month; but,
thanks to a kind public, a liberal pat
ronage enabled it TO exist, not only
the six months but seven times six
months, and barring the general de-
preston that has affected every branch
of business, it has been prosperous.
With this issue we sever u connec-
ton with this paper and retire to pri-
vate life. There are many phases OF
newspaper life that are very agreeable
and these we leave with regret. Other
features are not SO pleasant and We
part from them without a sigh. To
the scores OF friends who have extend
ed encouragement and aid We are
deeply and sincerely thankful, and
their kindness can never be effaced
from the tablets Of our memory. We
hope that our successors may receive
a fair proportion Of the public patron
age, and to them we deliver up the
editorial pen, the pastepot and the
scissors, Miss ANNIE MARTIN.

IN NIGHT.

The famine that decimated Ireland
fifty years ago IA caused by the
blighting of the potatoes-then the
staple food OF the peasantry. The blight
literally walked in darkness, though
the sickness destroyed at MONDAY.
Says Francis Power Cobbe in her
"Life":
/ happen to be able to recall pre-
cisely the day, almost the hour, when
the blight fell on the potatoes and
caused the great calamity. A party Of
us we're driving to a Z o'clock dinner.
As we passed a remarkably fine field
Of potatoes in blossom, the scent come
through the open windows Of the car
rage and we remarked to one another
how splendid was the crop.
Three or four hours later, as we re-
turned home in the dark, a dreadful
odor came from the same field, and we
exclaimed, something has happened
to those potatoesl They don't smell as
they did when we passed them on our
way OUT"
Next morning there was a wall from
one end OF Ireland to the other. Every
field was black. and every root rem
dered unfit for human food. And there
were nearly eight millions Of people
depending principally upon those po-
tatoes for existence.

PACKAGES In THE MAIL.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Jones says that the Postofice Depart
ment has already begun to experience
some indications OF the approach Of
the holidays in the matter of packages
containing presents, these being pack
ages sen abroad thus early in order to
reach their destination in ample time.
As the time gets neare he says that
the dead letter Office will have a large
number Of these packages which have
been missent. Mr.. Jones, who appre-
ciates the sentiment contained in a
Christmas gift, hopes by a circular he
has issued to lessen the number Of
packages that go estray each year.
The circular urges persons who mail
such packages to be careful and see
that the proper amount OF postage has
been paid and that the article has been
properly addressed. He has just had
occasion 10 address a letter to a person
in South Africa, telling him that a GER
tain package is held for postage. The
package had been sealed or there would
be enough postage to pay its way. As
it is, the man in South Africa can, by
renting a dollar and q half, receive
by mail a 50-cent necktie. There was
in the Postofice not long ago a pack
age Of Photographs. They were I'M
sealed, and without writing the post
age would have been eleven cents, but
the age OF a child was written on one,
and it was over two dollars. Another
instance recalled by Mr.. Jones is the
case of q package in tin addressed to
a man in Ireland. The postage was
over three dollars. II was a al Of
cranberries. Mr.. Jones says he scarce
ly hopes to educate the people, but he
hopes his circulars may save some
packages and presents from going es-
tray, and for that reason he sent them
out to be posted in every Office, asking
people to look more carefully into the
regulations relating to postage. and see
that their parcels are properly mailed.

Signs I'm the Desert.

Signs in the desert, indicating the
trails and giving directions to the near
est springs and wells of fresh water,
are to be erected by Arizona and Cali
fornia in the desolate regions on either
side of the Colorado river, where 30
many tragedies have occurred through
miners and others losing their way or
dying from thirst. The signs are high
posts of gas pipe. with big squares of
sheet iron at the top, and are painted
red, as that is the color that can be
seen the greatest distance in that re-
gion. The lettering will tell the dis
lance from point to point and the To-
cation OF the nearest water holes.

Fort Deposit, Alabama, has broken
the record on babies, three mothers
having given birth to ten children
within a week. Just a week ago Mrs.
Latimer, wife of a merchant, became
the mother Of two boys and a girl. The
next day her neighbor, Mrs. Hunter,
whose husband is a prominent farmer,
followed suit with three babies. The
next day Mrs. Champion proved her
self the champion in fact as well as in
name by Gaping the climax with four
children at a birth. All the babies are
we'll formed and healthy and the mo-
theirs are doing well.

Training a Locomotive.

1t may not be generally known that
locomotives intended for express trains
require as much training, in their way,
for fast running as do rae horses.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
builds its own engines, and those built
for express trains are known as class
p. They are very large and built, with
slight variations, after the pattern OF
the big English engine imported into
this country several years ago, and
which at that time was a curiosity in
its way. When one OF these big en-
gines is taken out OF the shops to be
placed on the road, instead Of putting
it to the work IL is intended for at once
ii is run for two or three weeks on some
one Of the local branches in order to
train it, so to speak, for faster running.
BY this means all the bearings and
journals connected with the running
gear become settled to their work, for
should anything about the new ma
chine not work tremendously there is
ample time to adjust the defect. Usu-
ally the new engine proves trouble
some on account Of its propensity to
make fast time. and at almost every
station the train is found to be a little
ahead of schedule time and must wait
for from ten seconds to a minute

THE TINE.

The correct time comes into Phila.
delphia every day at noon by telegraph
from the United States time observa.
tory at Washington, where the "drop
ball" makes an electric contact that
sends the signal all over the country.
The first clock in the city communi-
eating with the observatory wire is at
the Maritime Exchange. At Sc min
utes to III the hands OF the clock auto
m~atically click into place by the action
Of the magnet and the little train OF
wheels attached TO it. Thus the WASH
ington time ball becomes at once the
authority for all clocks and an infsl-
lible adjuster. The statehouse clock
is wound and regulated weekly by an
expert chronometer maker, who sets
his own watch by Washington COM
municated time and carries it immedi-
ately to Independence Hall. Many
large manufacturers and business
places where it is necessary on account
OF the number Of men employed to
have strictly conscientious time I'm
ploy a man to wind, keep in order and
regulate their clocks the year round.
Clocks kept closely to the mark in this
way are very seldom in need of extern
siye repairs, and like in~telligently reg
ulated watches have less tendency to
go wrong.
The Washington observatory clock
runs for years together and has never
varied more than six seconds for any
one year.
1t is kept true by continual quadrant
observations on the altitude of the sun
at its meridian. AS the earth's revo-
lutions become slower only by the
fraction OF second in a thousand years
IL may be said that we are unable 10
take advantage Of the natural means
afforded for absolute time regulations
in spite Of the care that has been ex-
ercised in the making of timepieces.
For 26, 900 years, since the first record
ed mention Of any instrument to meas
ure time, in Isaiah ~xxxvii, 8, men
have been at work constructing appli-
ances of all descriptions. all Of them
more or less faulty. to tell them when
to eat, sleep and get up again. Is
there no one to invent a fin de steele
watch that shall be able to keep up
with the earth in point OF exactitude ?
