Trials Of Newspaper Men.

Tie Rev. DIR. Talmage has obtained
somo interesting and accurate informa-
tion about the interior workings of q
newspaper office, upon which he bases
the following truthful remarks:
One Of tho great trials of the news
paper profession is that members arc
compelled to SEQ more OF the sham Of
the world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper office day aft
or day 20 all fhe weaknesses of the
world--all the vanitios that want to be
puffed, all the rcvcngcs that want to be
reaped, all the mistakes that want to be
corrected, all the dull speakers that
want to be thought eloquent, all the
meanness that wants to get its wares
noticed gratis in order TO save tho tax Of
the advertising column, all men who
want to be set right who were never
right, all the crack Drained philosophers
with stories as long rs their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails in the morn
ing, bcreft Of soap-all the bores who
come to stay five minutes, but talk five
hours. Through the editorial and re-
portorial rooms all the follies and shams
of tho world are seen day after day, and
the temptation is neither vi believe in
God, man nor woman. II Is no surprise
to me that in this profession there are
somo slSeptical men. l only wonder that
newspaper men believe anything.

In u Bulgarian peasants cottage the
floors are of mud. The kitchen fronting
the street is also the living room. Be
hind there is a sleeping room, with a
bedstead in it for the head Of the house,
while the sons and daughters sleep upon
mats stretched on the floor. The furni-
ture consists of wooden tables, benches
and chests. The crockery and household
utensils of every sort seem Of the COM
monest and coarsest kind. Ishould doubt
if there is single house in the whole
village in which any English laborer or
artisan earning good wages would not
deem it hardship to be obliged to live
At the same time, there was no single
dwelling which, given the habits and
customs of the country, could be fairly
described as unfit for human habitation

No nation ever took IA braver course
than did the United States in deliberate
ly beginning the reduction Of that enor-

to call in high rate bonds as soon as

bearing lower rates. So immense was

an average rate of little under $685.

How Her Majesty Lives.

A paragraph has appeared in the
Scotch papers stating that the queens
good health is owing to her careful
dieting, one of her practices being to
take "a small liquor glass of very fine
old whisky after both lunnheon and
dinner" This is pure invention, for
the queen never drinks any spirit I'M
diluted. Her majesty occasionally
takes a small glass Of fine old whisky
mixe1 with tumbler Of mineral water.
Persons must have a queer idea OF
careful dieting" who include raw spir-
its in the regimen. The queen takes a
light breakfast, hearty luncheon, q
substantial tea, but at 8:45, when din
ner is served, her majesty eats very
sparingly, and only of the iightest and
most nutritious food. About midway
between breakfast and luncheon, when
the queen Is transacting business (all
, the heavy work of the day being over
, and done with at 1:SO) her majesty
I takes a refresher in the shape OF either
. cup or beef tea, as strong as 1t can be
made, or an egg beaten up with a little
milk or sherry.

Sleeping sickness


In Africa there is disease that at
tacks the natives, and that although
not uncommon, is yet involved In mys-
terry. 1t has been the subject Of good
deal Of profound study. but very little
has been discovered that throws any
satisfactory light on the subject The
victims are usually men and boys be-
tween the ages OF IL and 20. At first
the patient is observed to be listless,
and takes little interest in whatever is
going on about him; then he drops of
into sleep, which may continue for
long time, with intervals Of entire or
partial wakefulness. With each recur-
ring sleep the condition is more marked
and the period increases. This state
Of things may last for several months.
There seems to be little il uny desire
for food, and, after time, the body and
face appear to shrink and become
wrtnkled; then there is great emacia-
ton and atrophy. Sometimes the dis
ease runs twelve months, but usually
mot more than four or six. At the last
the patients mind may become per-
ifectly clear and all symptoms Of the
disease leave him, so far as the mind
is concerned. This is one Of the pecu-
lliarities of this malady, and is wholly
unaccounted for. The only treatment
that seems to be of any benefit what
ever is strychnine and the use of cath
Grtic medicines.

ITO BE CONTINUED
A BIG BATTLE WITH RATS.
They Swarm over Walter Carter and He

They Swarm over Walter Carter and He
Kills 100 of Them.
Walter Carter Of Camden, N. j., won
a hard-earned victory over an army Of
rats the other morning. When the
battle was finished and he counted the
heap of his fallen enemies he found 102
of them. Carter is a member of the
firm of Roberts G. Carter, provision
dealers. For a long time the firm has
suffered serious damage from the depre-
datlons Of rats. 1t was Mr.. Carriers
habit to open the store in the morning,
and he invariably heard a great scam-
pering over the place as he entered. He
concluded at last to have it out with the
little beasts, and began an investigation
to find their rendezvous. AS he opened
the door of small brick smokehouse In
the rear of the store, now little used, he
saw at least a dozen rats run into holes
in the floor and walls. They quickly re-
covered from their fright, however, and
soon emerged and glared viciously at
him out of their little black eyes. Car
ter went out and got short thick club
and a lantern, and then re-entered the
smokehouse. This time he closed the
door behind him. The dim light Of the
lantern served to daze the rats, and
Carter had no difficulty in killing three
big fellows. AS they gave vent to
dying squeaks scores Of other rats
emerged from the holes and swarmed
around the young man on all sides. The
rats leaped at his hands and face and
crawled over his feet, all the while keep
ing up a horrible din OF squealing. One
after another of the soft, ugly things
struck him as he stood dealing blows
right and left. Still their numbers null
tiplied, and the fighter began to fear
that the rats would get the better Of
him. He had been bitten several times
on the hands, but had managed to keep
the rats from his head and face. Thus
the fight kept up for fully fifteen min
utes, and Carter was growing weary
At last, however, he felt that the num-
bers Of the rats were gradually thinning
out. and he had less trouble in keeping
them off him. When no more rats APP
peared Carter got out into the open air
and gathered himself together. In a
few minutes he recovered, and, piling up
the dead rats, found that he had killed
1O2 of them.-Camden Correspondence

Fell. Faure.s sump.uary Law.


The president of the French republic
has, ON more than one occasion, been
a sumptuary law unto himself, and has
appeared in public in evening clothes
and white spats. In Paris this has been
allowed to pass as a harmless sort Of
solecism. But in the south, where the
minds Of men are irritated for want OF
bull fights just now, these white spats
have come in for good deal of adverse
comment. A purist pointed out, the
other day, that white was actually the
Legitimist color. Why, he wanted to
know, didn't the president wear red
spats? The discussion thus started
ended in resolution, carried unant'
mously, that the president, if he per-
sisted in wearing Legitimist spats,
should be requested to wear with them
pair of blue trousers and a red waist
coat. Failing this, he must be asked
to express the whole tricolor in his pam
falcons, the question being reserved as
to whether the stripes are to run up
his legs or round them.

The Jerrv-BuIIt Hut.

A certain well-known lady novelist
recently took possession Of a new villa
in a popular metropolitan suburb, says
a London exchange. To her dismay she
found that the walls, staggering under
the weight Of the paper on them, re-
fused to support any pictures or other
adornments and that she had to study,
IL not a Concrete" social problem, at
any rate mortar" domestic crisis. In
revenge she wrote to the landlord and
asked II she might bestow any name
she liked on the house, and, as he re-
piled giving his sanction, she promptly
had the title of "The Jerry-built Hut"
painted upon the portal. And now the
landlord says she has taken much too
liberal view Of his consent
