NEWSPAPER prize contests in this
country have not yet reached the stage
recently marked by German newspa-
per which offered prize for the best
epitaph of Bismark. 1t was of course,
very kind to let the statesman know
what his countrymen thought of him,
but man who is 50 years of age and
naturally quite near the period when
he expects to go the way of all flesh,
is hardly able to enjoy contest of that
kind. The prize winner wrote the fol-
lowing: HE made Germany great
enough to be his burial place."

WHEN old Bill Shakespeare wrote
his Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and
other great works, only 100000 peo-
pie spoke the English language. Now
the number that use that tongue is es-
timated at ll5,000,000. If the bard of
Avon had half the chance that dra-
matists have nowadays, there's no
telling but that he might have written
something that would have equaled
in popularity "A Texas Steer" or per-
haps even "Trilby."

RrDYARD KIPLING, the English
novelist and author of those delightful
Jungle Stories, seems lately to have
lost considerably in popularity. Kip
ling came to this country and was
courted and tlattered not only 0y the
literary world but by the reading
people all over the country. He could
not stand tlattery and his head began
to grow in manner that was ridicu-
lous ~ well as amusing. His first great
mistake was when he began to slight
newspaper men, and to rudely snub re-
polters who Were sent to interview
him. Some day there may be a novel
ist who is great enough to slight Jour-
nalism and its representatives but the
day has not yet arrived, and all that is
necessary to add is that Kipling has
announced his intention of returning to
India as soon as possible. Goodbye,
Rudyard, the next time you visit us
you will perhaps have learned that the
press Of the country is really the lever
that moves this part of the world.

You should take Il handkerchief and

heart. You then put stick in the
handkerchief aud twist it round and

pressed upon the bloodvessels and thus

or you may lay cloths rung out in
hot water over the wounds. This will
as a rule stop bleeding. Remember.

ONE of the metropolitan dailies
makes an extremely nice distinction in
its comment on the posthumous letter
Of the late lamented Menage, when it
speaks of his extensive sWindling as
sin. and of the swindler himself as
sinner. The distinction is, we re assert,
fine one and taken not without reason.
The vulgar mind is prone to class as
synonyms the words: Sin and Crime,
though they are not so considered
either by the civil or the moral code of
laws. The church. it is true, makes a
distinction of grade only, the generic
term, sin, being, as it were, eminently
contained in the more specific word,
crime, and herein she differs essential
ly from secular ethics. Sin, as such,
does not come under, nor is it punish
able by any law of the land with
crime the reverse is true. Sin may be
committed continuously and forever
and the world be not whit the wiser:
crime. on the contrary, requires pub
lefty as an essential. Crime demands
overt actions, if not directly on the part
of the criminal, at least in the sequelp
which omission entails; sin can have
perfect existence in the most secret
thoughts. Crime, in word, is proven
transgression against the laws of the
land, with the added essential of pub
Lefty, while sin is an infraction of the
moral law. requiring no such element
for its complexion. Man may be.
and the chances are that he is, a habit
ual sinner but he can never be Grim
lnal, in the strict sense of the term, I'M
til the laws have formally pronounced
him such. Our contemporary point
is well taken.

WE are indebted to Editor I. w.
Varian of the Boys Industrial School
Journal, of Lancaster, Ohio, for a copy
of the thirty ninth annual report of the
Industrial School. In speaking of the
printing department of the school, to
the Superintendent in his report. Mr..
Varian says: "There is no place that
time passes more quickly than in the
printing office where weekly perlodi-
cal is printed. No sooner is the paper
mailed than the work commences on
the next issue, and the tifty-two mail
ing days are like mile-posts along the
highway Of time" This is quite true,
and. perhaps, accounts for the fact, that
editors and printers never commit sui
eide. They know that from the cradle
to the grave, even at the most advanced
age, is but jump, and they want
to- and do, keep hustling every moment
they are awake.

A Young man was arrested a few
days ago in st. Paul, for incorrigibil-
ity, and it developed at his trial, that
his sister who has through hard work
tried to support him and herself, asked
him to GO out and saw some wood. He
went to the shed cheerfully enough,
but instead of cutting the wood, stole
the s01c, and ran away with it. The
sister begged hard to take him home
and give him another trial, and we
honor her for it: but a tanning is what
