secondhand sermons.

A brisk trade, so it is stated by a
church contemporary, is driven in the
supply of secondhand sermons to
young clerics. Should these clerics de-
cline to deal further with the vendors,
the latter threaten to bring the matter
before their superiors. Because of
these threats, it is alleged that many
clergymen prefer to pay any sum that
1nay be demanded from them in man
ner which practically amounts to black
mailing 1t seems that the usual
clerical name for these purchased dis
courses is ''cat's-meat sermons;" they
are sent in carefully concealed envel-
opes, and they are suited to all tastes
and occasions. First" sermons and
farewell" ones are equally kept ia
stock. The writer. who warns the
clergy against these eat's-meat produc-
tions, says that congregations "fnd

Life in sky scrapers Responsible for =
Peculiar Disease.
A nervous condition, bordering on
prostratson, to which the doctors have
not as yet given a name, has lately been
observed to affect persons who work
many hours a day high up in the mod
ern sky scra Pers. The ailment, says the
New York journal, resembles nervous
prostration, except in the principal
symptom, which is a condition of in
tense restlessness, and, as one Of the
victims to the new complaint expressed
it, "a singular desire to scream or to
get down to the earth quickly"
a sensation Of relief is noticeable
when the patient is taken to grass, so
to speak, which lends some physicians
to the belief that the change in fhe
rarity Of the air. slight as it is, has ~
peculiar effect upon certain very sensi-
tive organizations. Others think that
the constant trips in the elevators cause
slight encouragement Of the nerve
centers, which brings on the conditea
referred u. In any case there is no
doubt that q new ailmeut has come

There are at least two such eases m the city and the trouble Is one ot decided Seriousness.-PheniX Re- publican.
 A newspaper reporter IS largely depepdent upon the people of the community for information concern ing current events. He cannot man. ufacture local news out of the whole cloth. He can only gather and present such items as come under his own observation, or such as are furnished him by communicative and accommodating people. lf, as the habit of some people is, news IS withheld from him. either because of thoughtlessness, indifference or a proper appreciation of what IS due the representative ot a reputable journal. be certainly cannot be blamed for not recording 1t. There are enough local happenings even in a small town, almost every day to make one, two or three columns of readable and interesting gossip, if those who are posted would take the trouble to make them known, and. bv this, we do not mean sean dal. No decent paper cares for such news, but legitimate news. Many occurrences strike some peo- pie as too trival to repeat to a re- porter. That, however. is a mistake; anything that would, momentarily, arrest the attention of an average citizen is worthy a place in the local columns of newspaper. And, If for no other reason than to k 'ep ones neighbors posted Tn what Is going on about them. every day, people should avail themselves of the opportunity to give the news gatherer the ''fleeting item and take some little pains to see him, and. at least, not compel them to suction-pump news out of him. All papers appreciate any such courtesy shown their reporters by people who keep their eyes and ears open EX.

By reference to a notice elsewhere in this issue it will be seen that $. H. Newman, who has had charge of the New Mexico and Arizona general agency of the Mutual Life Insur- ance company of New York, has been promoted. The company in promoting Mir. Newman has done a meritorious act as he has life iusur- ance at his tongues end and as the general agent of the company has done good work for it in the field heretofore occupied by him. In the more extended field and more i'm portant work assigned to MT. New man he will no doubt be found equally efficient in promoting the company's interests.
