THE IDEAL JOURNALIST.

Rev. A. D. Mayo of Boston took for the sub
ject of a lecture last week, THE Journalist"
He said:
at was never such privilege as now to be
an American citizen on the shady side of 60.
Other great periods in the worlds history have
been of equal importance and even more pic
turesque, but the present generation of elderly
American people has enjoyed the only supreme
advantage OF reading the history Of every week
brought up to date by the Journalist.
"Until seventy-five years ago nine-tentbs of
the intelligent people in Chrfstenaom lived in
almost complete ignorance of what was going
on beyond their own horizon circle. The
change from such a condition to that where
especially in the northern portion OF the
United States, the great mass of the people can
read and at least once week are in way In
formed OF the main facts in the history OF the
past week, is incalculable. Ae
"Until 1860 the newspaper meant the editor
usually an influential public character. who
appeared once or six times week in the % : :,

who likes variety, and especially those whose
income does not allow of the many waists
which are such comfort. simple trimming
of ribbon may be made adjustable by taking one
strip for the center front; this is joined to the
ribbon collar and tho ribbon belt, which are
both finished by enormous bows in the
back; two other pieces OF ribbon, four inches
longer than the shoulder-seam, are sewn to the
collar at the shoulder; the other ends are laid
in points which extend over the sleeves. This
trimming of ribbon may be made very. elab-
crate by sewing bright spanges on all the
edges. Or mark ends, with a spool for guide,
down the CENTER and outline these with
spangles or beads.
Another mode of trimming is to have revers
and a sailor-collar made removable. black
satin or crepon waist may be made very useful
in this way. Have collars and revers OF fancy
silk In bright coIors with an edging all around
of black chiffon.
The ribbon trimming may be of geranium
velvet ribbon with black spangles or OF black
satin ribbon with bright blue or green span
giles.
A fchu may be OF the black crepon edged
with pleatings of yellow china silk. or use a
bright china silk with ruffles OF mousseline de
sole.

WHAT JEHOVAH" DENOTES.
SAN FRANCISCO. December 5, 1895

SAN FRANCISCO, December S, 1895.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco CaH-SIR:
In your Tuesdays edition of this week mer
ton is made of discussion that took place
among a concourse of clergymen as to the ORR
gin and Specification of the biblical word "Je-
hovah." AS the result of their deliberations
is not disclosed venture, with your kind per-
mission, to make some comments upon this
subject.
In the Hebrew language, in which the Bible
was originally composed, the word 'Jehovah"
(Which, by the way, the German pronuncia-
ton, with the 81" sounding like "y" in Eng
lish, corresponds with the Hebrew, includes
letters which denote the eternity of our Gre
ator, namely: "Hoyoh," "Hoveh," "V'yhyeh,'
which signify respectively "Always has BEEN"
"Is at present" and "Ever will be-
should be exceedingly grateful to the gen.
temen concerned for information as to what
conclusion they reached in this matter. Very
respectfully, VICTOR HARRIS

CHANGES IN JOURNALISM.
Chicago Times-Herald.


Within year or two there will be important
changes in the mode and means OF newspaper
making.
The reporter will send both description and
picture by telautograph; and the reporter OF
the future is going to draw as well as to write.
The editor, whether in his office or tempo
rarily residing at distant point, will telauto-
graph his orders and ideas, and, by, an i'm
provement now being perfected, he Will receive
telautograp hic proofs in return.
Writers on newspapers will become users OF
a machine in process OF construction by which
the present typewriter keyboard will not only
set their ideas into print, but also lnstantan-
eously put them into type, eliminating. the
machine type-setter as the machine itself has
eliminated the hand compositor and as the
steam press eliminated the hand press.
These are only few of the changes in the
near future of journalism. These and others
bound to come will not injure any one, butwil
divert to other profitable fields labor now oc-
cupied inferno diately between the writer and
the press. By cheapening the cost OF a news
paper these changes will improve the business
and make 1t more beneficial to mankind.

OPINIONS OF WESTERN EDITORS.
Railroad Discrimination Against BIZ
cycles.
Los Angeles Times.

Los Angeles Times.
The righteousness of checking a hundred
pound trunk for railway passengers free of
charge and charging the man who has only a
twentypound or forty-pound bicycle for car
rying his wheel as baggage, is so apparent that
it ought to appeal to even the understanding
of the people who make railroad rules. BIZ
cycle-riders can get even with the corporations
by riding on their wheels more and ON the cars
less. They may also find it convenient to
make this senseless and unfair discrimination,
in preference to those astute corporations who
have adopted this penny wise and pound
foolish policy. Probably the railroads can ex-
plain, however, why q UNDERGROUND trunk
is easier to carry and takes up less room in
car than does wheel that weighs a fifth as
much and occupies infinitely less space. Or is
this intended as punishment for the crime
of riding wheels?

Digging Through Silvor for Gold.

Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.
A hasty glance over the State proves that
Nevada is q great gold region, and that it may
be that we are but standing upon the threshold
OF disclosures which will fill the world with
establishment. 1t looks as though the work OF
few years more would justify the old asser-
ton that Nevada was full of gold, but that the
miners had to dig through masses Of silver in
order to reach the more precious metal.
