MODERN NEWSPAPERS.
There Are No Prejudices In the Way of
the New Journalist.

There Are No Prejudices In the Way of
the New Journalist.
The new journalist has no prejudices
that interfere with his business ends.
The founder of his school was the first
man to make an absolutely nonpartisan
paper, and the successful men talked
with declared that the best way COM
mercially to make an editorial page
was to turn it over to some man with
mind and character who would direct
its policy independently and in good
faith in the interests of the community
as a whole, regardless of parties,
cliques, advertisers or any other inter-
ests, however powerful But while this
is being done the business man who
proposes to conduct the enterprise
would have an equally independent
news department, and, having the most
intelligent readers to begin with, he
would broaden the news policy from
their point of view, spending as much as
sensationalism costs for more important,
better written news. In short, the COM
merciaf ideal contains distinct apprecia-
ton of the power of opinion, but it
prizes just as highly the value of the
authoritative statement of all the news.
There's not room for many such
newspapers, but that's the kind that
would live and pay forever, - said my
new commercial journalist. tt. Lin

HOMEMADE ELECTRICITY.

Some Simple Methods by Which 1t May
Be Generated.
It has been discovered that if steel
knife and silver fork be inserted in a
large orange an electric current will be
generated If the end of the fork and
the end of the knife sticking from the
orange be connected with an electric
measuring instrument, quite percepti-
BILE current will be found to pass. The
same kind of a battery may be made by
substituting cucumber for the orange.
In fact, any acid fruit may be used.
In order to make voltaic pile it is
only necessary to procure ten or more
pieces of zinc about an inch square, the
same number of pieces Of copper and a
like number of pieces Of paper. The
paper should be thoroughly soaked in
vinegar.
First take a piece of zinc. On it
place a piece of vinegar soaked paper,
then put on piece of copper, then a
piece of paper, then another zinc and
then paper, and so on until all the
pieces of zinc, copper and paper have
been used. 1t is important that piece
of zinc should be on one end and a piece
of copper on the other. After the pile is
completed again soak the whole slight
ly in vinegar; then clean it off ON the
outside
If the forefnger of one hand be held
against one end and the forefnger Of
the other hand be held on the other end
of the pile, quite perceptible current
will be felt. If several persons clasp
hands and the persons on each end Of
the line touch the voltaic pile, the cur
rent will flow through the bodies of all
those in position.
The thermopile is another electrical
current producer that may be made in
any household at a trifiing expense.
The electric current is generated in this
case by heat, and anything from can
die to a live coal may be used to pro-
duce the heat. Take lot Of German
silver and copper wire and cut it into
six inch lengths. Then take German
silver length and a copper length and
twist the ends together You will have
V shaped arrangement Of wire. Take
another length of German silver wire
and twist one end Of it tightly around
the copper end of the V. Continue the
process until you have long succession
Of what might be called WIS or double
V's arranged with alternate pieces of
copper and German silver wire.
Now take two large curtain rings.
Bend your string Of wire lengths until it
has assumed the position Of star and
clamp it between the two curtain rings.
One end of the string of wires should
be copper and the other German silver.
You will find when these are clamped
between the curtain rings that the in
ner points of the star form small cir
Gle in the middle of the rings The
rings should be placed on uprights and
a candle should be lighted, SO that the
fame will play between the inner
points of the star New York Herald.

enjoyed his cigar, she leaned on his
proffered arm and, indeed, made a con-
scientious effort to impress him with
the fact that she was nice girl and,
though stepdaughter, would not be
an incumbrance or bother to him.
And when they got back to the hotel,
after little hesitation, as they were
separating for the night, she stood on
tiptoe and administered to his brow
pure, daughterly kiss.
''Well, observed Mr. Macintosh aft
er she had vanished, 'of all the expert
ences I've ever had this certainly takes
the cake. "
Now, portion of the above was told
to the present historian by Mr.. Dick
Macintosh and part by his wife. l have
merely interviewer their accounts. The
end of the story l also obtained from
both, but Dick account was the best.
Mile was very reticent when relating
her share. Mile related her part as
thus:
"Well, was unpacking my things,
you know, in order to be able to go to
bed, when who should come in but
mamma. We Rugged each other, and
then l said:
"'Oh, mamma, how could you quar-
rel with him?'
Mamma looked very astonished and
said:
What are you talking about?"
Steppapa, I replied. He didn't
bring your name up once all the time,
and he didn't seem to care what had be-
come of you, and-and altogether he
was the last man in the world l should
have taken for bridegroom. But he
was very nice to me.
Ny dear child, exclaimed man.
ma, are you wandering? What person
do you refer to? Your stepfather has
only just arrived at the hotel. We
crossed this morning. AS for quarrel
ing, we are the most devoted couple in
Christendom.
Now for Mr.. Dick Macintosh's YER
sion:
well, you see, old man, received a
letter from my Uncle Ned telling me
that he had taken wife unto himself.
and would l meet him and the lady at
the hotel st. Moscow in a weeks time.
On the date named HE'D me to Paris.
and while was awaiting Uncle Ned's
arrival young lady was shown in.
Well, we both thawed after time
and had rare evening. She proved
the jolliest girl imaginable-talked,
laughed, joked and seemed bent on be-
ing as friendly as possible. We had tea.
dined, took stroll and returned to the
hotel. Then, my boy, imagine my as
constituent After she had said good
night she reached up and gave me the
most delicious kiss had ever received
in the whole course of my existence.
In due time the four set off on their
tour together, and during the tour Dick
and Mile managed to patch up mat
tiers SO neatly that they came to be
quite good friends by the time they re-
turned to England, and about year
after their return Dick took a fat in
Kensington and asked Mile to share
it with him, such as it was, and Mil
lie not objecting, they were married,
and there l visited them and heard the

Taking Glass of the Liquor Is . Whole

Although absinth is to a Frenchman
what whisky is to an American. he
never dreams of running behind screen
and swallowing a glassful in one ire
mendous effort There is something al
most poetic in the way a Frenchman
prepares and partakes of his beverage.

the rear, advances with the bottle of the
popular stimulant said to be the de-
struction of SO many French minds and
bodies After saluting monsieur, the
garcon carefully pours the desired guam
tity into the glass and goes ON to serve
some one else
Then for the first time the French
man shows some signs of interest in the
matter He relinquishes his hold ON his
cane, but one hand only; the other
never deserts the cane. He carefully
places the perforated spoon across the
top of the glass. On the spoon he bal

sugar and gently pours a small quantity
of ice water over the sugar into the

his cane with both hands and apparent

afterward, sometimes half an hour.
the drinker again shows an interest in
his beverage He looks to see if the
sugar has all melted; then he removes
the spoon and raises the glass for a sip
of the concoction-only sip, however
for it is sip by sip that Frenchman

"ANGELo uNAwARES."

A figure by my Preside staid
Plain WAS her garb and yelled her faca
A presence mystical she made
Nor changed her attitude nor place.
Did I neglect my household ways
For pleasure wrought Of pen or book7
She sighed murmur of dispraise,
At which methought the rafters shook.
Me young Delight did often win
My patient limits to outgo.
Thereafter, when entered in,
That shrouded guest did threatening
show.
The SHOWS of life to chill me fell
Where many gracious mate lay dead
And moved my heart to break the spell
By that ungracious phantom laid
Now, who art thou that didst not smile
When l my maddest jest devised?
Who art thou, stark and grim the while
That men my tune and measure prizedf
Without her pilgrim staff she rose,
Her weeds of darkness cast aside,
More dazzling than Olympian SHOWS
The beauty that those weeds did hide.
Most like solemn symphony
That lifts the heart from lowly things,
The voice with which she spoke to me
Did loose Contrition at It's springs.
o Duty, visitor divine,
Take all the wealth my house affords,
But make thy holy methods minel
Speak to me thy surprising words
Neglected once and undiscerned,
l pour my homage at thy feet.
Till thy sacred law have learned
Nor Joy nor life can be complete.

YOUNG MEMS CHANCES.

Best Avenues to Success Are Found Out
side Our Largest Cities.
Business conditions of the great cit
les are not favorable to young men, :"
writes Edward w. Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal, advising young men
about to begin their careers against GO
ing to the big cities. "It is said, he
continues, THAT competition develops
men. 1t does unquestionably. But to
cope with present competition as it ex-
lists in the centers calls for a vast
amount of experience. That experience
man must have back of him before he
can enter the competing arena. But
how can better acquire that experience
than where there is constant need of it?'
How better, my young friendP By serv-
ing long apprenticeship In some city
smaller than the greatest. The large
cities are today poor places in which to
learn the rudiments of business COM
petition, for while the young man is
learning the experienced man swallows
him up. But that is experience, per-
sists the young man. 1t is, but more
severe kind than there is need ola
kind which, once INDUCED in, does not
leave pleasant remembrance. Compe-
tition in a smaller city may be just as
keen proportionately; but, what is all
important to the young man starting
out, the risks are not SO great, the ex-
perience is not apt to be so costly
should he fail to succeed. It is a true
saying that man before he succeeds in
business must expect to measure his
height on the ground a time or two.
But it is not necessary that i'll his first
Touchdown he should be knocked out.
''But there is another and more i'm
portant fact which the young man
away from the large cities does not
realize. 1t is that the number of posi-
BILE positions in the large citie&is not
increasing, despite the reiterated asser-
tions constantly made to the contrary.
The very opposite is the truth. Various
causes explain this-higher taxes, high
room, labor strikes and lower cost of
production. The manufacturing inter
ests of this country are constantly tend
ing toward the smaller cities and away
from the centers. And this means fewer
positions, since only in rare instances
does the executive branch of business
call for larger number of employees
than does the manufacturing side.
Strange as the change of current may
seem, it is nevertheless fact that the
young man who today leaves a good
sized city Of actual manufacturing adj
vantages turns his back on what in
few years will be one of the industrial
beehives of America. Z"
