Reform I'm Pcnmnnship.

From the Boston Globe.
A concerted effort is being made, 1t is
said, among the publishers to try to In
duce educated people to learn to write 30
that their manuscript can be read, and an
attempt is being made to this end to change
the old round-hand system of chirography.
The poor man who learns to write In the
evening school writes a very leg1ble hand,
and is proud Of displaying it. 1t would
seem tlat the mere educated the average
man becomes the more he regards 1t as his
especial privilege to circulate scrawl that
means annoyance and loss to printers ana
others to whom time is money.
If man should select a verbal mes
serger to another to explain what would
cover a half column of type foreigner
who could only stammer out most unintel-
ligibly the English language, 1t would be
regarded as an insult.
Has the man any more right to insult
pull Usher by sending half a column OF CHI
Biography that it requires long and exas-
perating efforts to decipher, even If success
is possible?
Now and then literary or professional
man of assumed high prerogatives in the
matter of unreadable scrawls has received
a short stop in the notification by some
publisher that in the future he must send
typewritten matter or have ii returned.
Who will say that he was treated unjust
ly?
The publishers interested In the penman-
shin reform movement say that the num-
her of learned men who have not yet
learned to write is almost incredible. In
this as other matters, reform is necessary.

From the New Orleans PcGyune.
The trouble which now broods upon Col.
Ben. Cason, the well-known superintendent
of the Pacific Express Company, and which
is swiftly bringing his raven locks to the
complexion of cotton, is all brought about
by what is known as the water flea. The
water flea has suddenly appeared in Col.
Casons famous frog pond, and the poor
little and large frogs, for the colonel says
he has some as large as a small-sized dog,
are being gradually killed off. The water
flea is a very peculiar kind of animal, Col.
Cason says, and she is at some loss how to
deal with it. He says the wafer flea has a
long bill-sort of mouth, similar TO that of a
vampire, and that it sinks its bill deep into
the top of his frogs backs, and there sucks
their very life blood. He caught one of his
best and latest frogs yesterday and found
on 1t over one hundred water feas.
Col. Cason has a very large frog pond
now, and this trouble comes very near to
his heart, for he is devoted to the culture
of this animal, SO much SO that he has built
a large pond and has supplied 1t with all
that a frog would need in his business He
says that the latest crop of young frogs
which he is raising, and which as yet have
hardly gotten out of tadpoledom, are grad
ually being bitten to death by the water
flea, and there is no remedy.
Col Cason would be very grateful indeed
IL some one Of his sympathetic friends
would suggest something to stay this fell
frog destroyer which has smitten his pond.

From the Critic.
I wonder Just what is, meant by idle
hands?" Does it mean simply hands that
have not their living to earn' hands that
are not answerahle to their owner or some
one else for the accomplishment Of a GER
tain amount of work? Or hands that won't
do anything, but hang listlessly at their
owners sides? We are told that Satan
finds mischief still for idle hands to do" 1
don't see why Satan should find mischief
for hands to do that are merely not engag-
ed In business. One can be idle-that is
to say, the master of his own time-with-
out being engaged in mischief. think that
if any amiably disposed person should give
me living income without requiring me
to earn it, could enjoy myself immensely
without intervention on the part Of Satan.
dare say 1t does add a certain amount
of zest to ones enjoyment of time to know
that he has little of it to enjoy, but think
am quite capable of enjoying myself and
still keeping out of mischief. There must
be a coed deal of natural depravity in
those idle persons whom Satan gets the
better of. To me idleness would mean
constant round of delightful occupation.
