When the Kansas prophecies, Mrs.
Lease, spoke here she held out the
hope of a remedy for the evil Of the
servant girl. There are women who
find the germ of pleasure in the
present unhappy state of things
they en- Joy the distinction of having
little more trouble than their
neighbOrs about servant girls, Just as
the confirmed invalid enjoys reciting
his superlative suffering1. Yet there
is real grief in the business, and it
is to be hoped that Edison will invent
a mechanical electric hired girl who,
though, like the others, addicted to
sparks, might lack some of the com
mon failings.
The hope held out by Mrs. Lease
was in the matter of feeding. She

In the mountain regions of Tennessee
and Kentucky the chemists who

of COMPRISING into the capacity of d

heart of the corn-a vigorous and

Another sign of hope is seen in the
treatment OF a patient at Bellevue

woman who is unable to swallow is
placed in beef-tea bath twice a day
and the skin ahsOrbs nourishment

How to Run a NEWSPAPER.

The editor of the Randolph Herald
and News had a calling down last
week by some of the good people up
his way, at least such seems to be the
case. Instead of talking to these
people face to face, he writes a
sassy" piece after they have left the
Office. He says
Poets are born, not made, and so
are journalists; that is, everybody is
born one.
The person never existed, we sup
pose, who did not think he could i'm
prove the home paper just little.
The man who would hesitate, from
feeling of delicacy, to advise his
neighbor how to plant his corn has
no conjunction about holding up
the publisher of the local paper and
criticising his work without stint.
Some things are expected of anews-
paper. One is absolute perfection.
If every item is not exactly correct in
every particular, the proper thing is
to hasten to the office at once and
inform the publisher. He has no
cares, and life would be so blissful
that he would never be ready to
leave it if something were not done
to harass him. Great Importance
attaches to the manner in which the
error is pointed out. Be sure to i'm
press the one at fault with the enOr-
nifty of his Offense If such a grave
mistake should occur as an under
estimate of the number of friends
present at an evening party or the
omission of one kind of cake served,
either visit the office at once and de-
mand a retraction or write up hall
column report of the event for the
next issue, including all the harrow
ing details. POsterity might marvel
if the exact truth did not go on rec.
ord. II mistakes occur they are O.
course due to the carelessness of the
reporter. He should interview at
least a dozen persons before writing
an item and if they should happen tC
disagree, his Judgment as to the
truth is invariably wrong.
Another thing 1T should be re
membered that the local paper is the
personal property of everybody but
the publisher. If your neighbor's
hens get into your garden dom
speak to the owner about it but &c
at onde to the newspaper and induce
the publisher to roast him" That
the correct thing. 1t impresses tn,
neighbor more deeply and it is {
great pleasure to the publisher tC
take up the cudgel in your behalf
That's what you take his paper FOL
that and for self-covering. If TIT
village officials have not cleaned tn,
streets in front of your residence
they should first be informed of it by
the agency of the local paper.
Show at all times the cOntemp
you feel for the trivial trash thatge
into the home paper. Remembe
that eveTybOdy's tastes are exactly
like yours and then think of the won
derful effrOntery of the editor who
parades such a mess of silly gossip
it is really remarkable that he doesn'
starve to death as he deserves. If i

The following story, as told by Eli
Perkins, has been going the rounds
lately: Il rode, one day, on a train
with Mr.. Evarts. We were talking
about riding on the Wagner, and |
said: Now, Mr.. Evarts, you have
ridden a great deal on the sleeper,
and how had man better lie to sleep
well? Head to the engine, or feet to
the engine?
'Oh, you shouldn't come to a law
Yer with such questions as that, Eli.
That ism t law question; that is an
engineering question. You should 90
to some railroad president with such
a question. Go and ask Depew.'
But Depew is lawyer, isn't he?
"'WelI, y-a-s! Depew is a law
YER then, continuing slowly and
thoughtlully, but all the law Depew
knows wouldn't bias him in answer,
ing any question
when told this story at the LO.
tus Club, a week afterwards, DepeW
happened to be there. He laughed
with the rest, but just before he left
he leaned forward with his hand over
his mouth and whispered to me-
"'The story is all right, Eli; but i
you won't tell it any more in New
York I'll give you an annual on the
road"
Mr.. Depew's sequel to this story is
that when Perkins came into his
office and propounded the question
to him, he said
cit would not make any difference
to you, Eli, whether you were lying
with your feet to the engine, or your
head; you would lie just the same

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS

The ground beneath our feet is al
ready restless with the Jhrusting
vigor of seeds, whose mysterious and
resistless power is compelling the soil
to give up its dead to live again.
Our every footstep is logged with
the tireless tasks of earthworms and
insects, tunneling in all directions
that the soil compacted by the Win
ter's storms may be in reach of the
life,impelling influences of air and
warmth. Invisible energies are cry
ing aloud to the hillsides and to the
valleys, to the creatures that hiber-
nate and to the birds that migrate,
to insects and to grubs, LET there
be life!" and there is life, so perva-
sive that though we fly to the utter
most desert, it is there; though we
bury ourselves in the deepest mine, it
is there.

The glory of green flung suddenly
over sober fields and naked trees, the
futter of busy birds twittering and
whistling of love and defiance, the
subtle odors of flowers and of
grasses all unite to thrill the
senses, until the healthy heart is filled
with the same universal Joy of living.
The blind can feel the change, and
the deaf can see it; every living thing
answers to the summons. The heart
of the young grows light, for is not
the time of listening to the birds and
of gathering flowers at hand? The
sluggish blood of the aged courses
more freely again and the devout
heart swels with gratitude for one
more Spring in the "World Beauti-

This is not the place for a discus
sion as to whether death will be
finally driven from our sphere. That
is too remote a contingency to be
considered. On the other hand the
present law, the one that has control
OF you and me, is that after a certain
time life will cease to energize us and
our conscious share in the worlds
doings come to an end. Because of
the agonizing fear of death that
darkened my childhood days, / am
not unaware of the fierce longing in
the strong and energetic heart for
life everlasting in the world ever

that cannot be. Then, what shall be
done? Take another glance at Nat
ure to emphasize what this feeble
mind would fain utter with compel
ling force. Like produces like, with
this limitation that an individual
tree or creature, stronger or weaker
than its fellows, passes on a strength
ened or weakened heritage to those
who follow. Outside influences, good
or bad, and the surrender of the in
dividual to their power also help to
make or mar the prospects of that
race of trees or creatures. There is
no imagination in this; but sober
truth.
Now our race also has its perpetual
Spring, in the beauty and charm OF
child-life; where bright smiles and
Joyous laughter, overlooking energy
and eager hopefulness proclaim the

The Creative Force in the world
appears to love living things and to
hate death; if it were not so, why the
tricks and devices for enabling things
that live, though they themselves
perish, yet still to retain a place on
the earth through their descendants :?
The arch-enemy of all created things
may triumph over the individual of
any class, but he is not triumphant
all along the line, else we're this globe
long ago a lifeless desert. Victory is
wrested from death by the various
species passing on their life into new
beings OF the same species, or, in
other words, by reproduction. So
while the dying perish, the feud with
death is still maintained by the living
who step into the breach; they in
their turn passing on to Others the
precious heritage of life to be guarded
at all hazards and entrusted in undi-
minished force and beauty to those
that follow still later. The greatest
Joy of Spring is, therefore, that it is a
living picture of conquest a short
lived triumph indeed but yet sweet
while it lasts for there is prepared
from its results the next generation
of plants and insects and animals, SO
that the world may not he lifeless.
Spring, now is thy glory Grave,
where is thy victory?

Viewed in one way, the gloom and
depression of death is over every
thing mundane. 1t is a sad enough
picture, yet needful to remember in
order to gain the full lesson from the
new life now swarming in earth and
air and sky. 1t is unsafe to assert
that there are things the Almighty
cannot do. One thing, however, is
certain; He has never yet made
living creature with material body
that lasts forever. As soon as the
elements of living things are gathered
together the conflict between life and
death begins; with ultimate victory
completely assured for the latter
Everything that lives is BATTLE
ground for forces that are doing their
best to send it back dissolved into it's
