Newspaper Headlines.

BtuJaEo Times.
The newspaper headline, as we
know 1t, is peculiarly an American in
vention Over-.eas the '.scarehead" is
an unknown quantity. There the
most important article, it matters not
how sensational it may be, is not
given any larger or more conspicuous
heading than other loss important
news stories. Startling information is
given preference of position. but in no
other way.
The general idea IS that the head
lines writer sits down and dashes off
the first bright phrase or catch-line
that enters his head Not 50. A nice,
mechanical calculation must enter into
1t. He must be an artist and an artl-
san. He knows to 4 nlcety how many
letters will 90 in the style of type en-
plOved for the first line. If there are
several words, the space IN between
must be calculated IN the number Of
letters. He knows also that a letter
"M' or "NV" will, by reason of its
greater width, shorten the number OF
others that can be employed. There
is probably not a man living who has
ever written a heading for a newspaper
and not experinced the annoyance OF
discovering that some peculiarly felici-
tous line that bad occurred to him as q
little too long to ''go IN In this way
thousands of happy thoughts are en-
tombed in the graveyard of good Ideas
that exists in every newspaper office.

IN CHURCH.

Just in front Of my pew sits maiden,
A little brown wing on her hat,
With its touches of tropical azure,
And sheen of the sun upon that
Through the broom -colored pane shines
glory
By which the vast shadows are stirred,
But ! pine for the spirit and spIendor
That painted the wing of the bird.
The organ rolls down its great anthem,
With the soul of a song it IS blent :
But, for me, | am sick for the sighing
OF one little song that is spent
The voice Of the curate is gentle:
NO sparrow shall fall to the ground" ;"
But the poor, broken wing on the

Is mocking the merclful sound.

And how is this habit to be secured :?
By quickening the conscience lnfu-

valuable The poor are not bad Judges
of the value of what they purchase
poverty makes them SO ; although it is
not in the nature of things that igno-
rance should rightly appreciate knowl-
edge, it is not difficult so to adapt the
knowledge we give poor children to
their wants, as to make its value felt
by the dullest parent. 1t is because
we do not so adapt it, that the parents
do not feel the benefits of Education.
1t is the fault of the teacher, not theirs
Their children come home coated with
crude learning, which they cannot I'M

Working N Government Positions.

Edward W. Box, in L0dies Hon'e
Journal, gives the followig advice to
young men seeking public employment:
I would not advise any young man
to enter the employ Of the government,
that is, if he has any ambition. A
government position holds out attrac-
tons to the average young man because
he feels it is safe, that IS, so far as the
pavment Of his salary is concerned.
Then, too, he is apt to believe that the
government salaries are somewhat
higher than the salaries attached to
civil pursuits. But, to my mind, he
b1vs these 'sure" elements at very
dear cost to himself. The average gov
ernment clerkship is very poor AFFAIR.
Not only is it poor IN itself, but III
ninety cases out Of hundred 1t means
pure clerical routine.
It has about it peculiar stlfilng
monotonv and restraint which are apt
to quench the fire Of ambition. ITO
motion is impossible upon the same
lines as in business house. The
chances for development are meagre.
While there are exceptions to the gen
eral rule, government service is not the
| best thing for any young fellow. lie
will be wiser if he enters into the more
fearless freedom of civil pursuits, ana
leaves the average government position
alone. In the first, he can be what ne
l;kas in the latter, it is doubtful.
