Advice to a Budding Journalist.

Reference has rightly been made to Mr..
Sala's kindness to journalistic beginners.
Here is what G. A. 5. wrote some years
ago to n correspondent on the subject of
the best education for journalist:
First. Learn shorthand thoroughly,
and whom you have mastered it, advertise
for situation as general reporter on tho
staff of n provincial newspaper.
"Second. as many foreign Ian
guages as you have any aptitude for and
keep up your Latin and Greek, if any
Latin and Greek you have learned at
school.
Third.-Read as many books on as
many subjects rs you possibly can get ac-
cess to and copy into a big book such pas
sages as you may think useful or interest.
ing.
Fourth. Work as many hours day
as you are physically and mentally able to
do"
BY way of p. S., Mr.. Sala added, "You
write legible hand, and that is in your
favor. "-Westminster Gazette.

Twin Suns.

The star Alpha Centauri-the nearest
star TO the earth as far as we yet know
consists, as tho telescope shows, of two
suns, one Of which is five or six times
brighter than the other. But recent OBJ
servations by Mr.. Roberts at the Cape Of
Good Hope observatory have led him to
the conclusion that the two components of
Alpha Centauri, much as they differ in
brightness, are really nearly equal In
weight. Together they are twice as heavy
as our sun. 1t seems to follow from these
facts that one of those twin suns Is losing
its light, and in the course of ages may be-
come only gigantic Opaque planet, while
its companion will still continue to blaze
with solar splendor.

Travelling Public Houses.

The travelling pub" is composed Of
huge barrel on wheels, partitioned in the
center so that beer and ale may DO carried
and blocked up at the sides with boxes of
bread, cheese, pork pies and tobacco. No
spirits are allowed to be sold, and the pub
2ican is liable to a heavy fine for serving
any customer with more than one quart of
liquor. Tho travelling public houses are
mostly confined TO the docks. At IL
o'clock, the dockors' luncbtime, the pub.
lican is generally very busy serving out
bread and cheese and beer, but the big
rush Is at /, when all the hands from
the ships holds and the packing sheds go
Co dinner. II you are not a workingman,
CHS publican must not serve you. The
dock companies policemen can turn him
out Of the gates should he do so.-Strand

For His Sake

Have ye looked for sheep in the desert.
For those who have lost their wayP
Have ye been in the wild waste places
Where the lost and wandering straw
Have We trodden the lonely pathway.
The foul and darksome street2
1t may be we've seen in the cleaning
The prints Of the Masters feet.
Have ye folded home to your bosom
The trembling, neglected lamb,
And taught to the little lost one
The sound Of the Shepherds nameY
Have ye searched for the poor and needy.
With no clothing, no home, no bread9
The Son OF Man was such on earth:
HE had not where to lay His head"
The Christ has gone to prepare m
"A place in His Fathers home.
He has left to us His flock on earth
To shepherd until He come.
Then, let our hands be busy
Our hearts be filed with love.
That when the work on earth is done
We may dwell with Him above.

Wars Brutality.

In modern warfare tho destruction Of
churches and cathedrals as well as of IL
braries and public buildings has been very
common. During the devastation of the
Palatinate by the French all cathedrals
and churches were ruthlessly plundered
and destroyed, even the tombs of the en-

According to Edwards "Germans In

purposely direct their fire on the cathedral
and library, but also fired on the flrcmcn
and fire engines endeavoring to put out
the conflagration.

than it has in number OF years. The

KEWEENAW 60.
PHGNIX

PHiENlA.
The bicycle race between Youall and
Jackson came off ON Sunday and was
Witnessed by the largest crowd that
ever attended a race in Keweenaw. a
couple Of the lights and large number
of the satellites OF Houghton county
cycledom even beins in evidence.
The racers got off promptly at 3
O'Clock and for about two miles the rid
ers kept together when lOualls tire col
lapsed; there being no other " heel about,
be was forced % run with his wheel until
he met another; meeting a rider he Dor
rowed his wheel, but finding it too high
was forced 20 dismount and secure an
other. The next one be got had four
spokes out of the rear wheel and the tire
scraped the rear forks, so There was no
chance of winning. Jackson had three
headers on the road.
Nothing OF particular moment occurred
on the return trip and jackson finished
in exactly thirty-three minutes, which,
while it was two minutes aud twenty sec.
onds slower than Youal's time in the
last race, was remarkable time, when it
is taken into consideration that he fell so
often.
The road was in wretched condition.
not over two miles OF il being tit to push
a wheel over. Whoever reported the
road in excellent condition must have
passed over it in balloon Cor saloon).
One pleasant thing about the race was
the perfect good feeling that existed be-
tween the two riders aud their friends.
Youall's friends think he can do Jack
son and are willing to back their man
with $50, but as Jackson declared before
the race that this was his first and last
race it is not likely they will meet, still
there is talk of another meet with the
course from Trudell's Inn to just below
Warden's, thence to Eagle River and re-
turn TO Trudells, open to all Keweenaw
riders, in which we hope to see both
riders.
The race was for the championship of
Keweenaw county and $50.

MUSIC AND MICE.

A Suggestion of a Novel Trap-Efeet of
 Plano Playing on Rodents.
 Truth of London suggests that as mice like music thero is an independent fortune awaiting the man who will in- won't q small music box which when wound will run all night, since such a eontrivanee would serve to call nice into traps and would be to the mice what deeoy is to flock of ducks CT Q looking glass to a tiger. After this sug- gestion, which is not untrue to nature, Truth goes on to say that music that sounds out of kilter to & critics ears would also drive mice from tho house. If the Truth writer had even actually seen d mouse under the influence of mu- sic, he woaa never have mado that mis- take. Neither would he have said an accordion would also make tho agile ro- don't desert the house az he is said to desert tho sinking ship. Whether mu- sic affects rats is question not yet set tied by students Of natural history.
 As to tho actual doings of a mouse when listening to music. it has been ob. served that the playing of piano, even tho tum tum of a beginner learning his first tuno will cause mice of the com mon house variety to run up and down behind the plaster Of house, causing it to rattle in way fit to disturb the most earnest student. One night half a dozen persons were gathered in the par Tor of an Adirondack home listening to skilled player, who, as q woodsman said, ''could make q pianner talk, ? when 1t was observed that the mice were acting in an unusual manner. The ordinary conduct of mice when they hear piano music is to merely rattle the plaster, but on this night they squeaked and squealed and rattled tho plaster as they had never done before The rush of tho rodents died away after the mu- sic stopped. but it was hours before the last squeak was heard
 One of the human listeners was a boy who had some little skill as q harmon icon player, and he went frequently to tho woods, where, with the aid of the instrument, he succeeded in calling ehipmunks, red squirrels, and on one occasion woodehuck, besides wood miee, including the door mouse, and tho smaller birds. The mice chiefly ran about the player, with now and then a squeak, but sometimes q low strain with slight modulations would seem tG drive them insane and then, without hesitation, they would run over tho player as if he had been a stump Tho squirrels wyre less demonstrative

4 G0LN 1FAER

The time is ripe in this city for the organization of local Fair Association. The success that re- gently attended the Poultry and Pet Animal Show in this city clearly demonstrates the public interest in such an enterprise, and also shows that there is an abundance of ma terial in this section for a credit able and satisfactory exhibit. We venture to assert that not half the people of this section ever once imagined that there are as many fine fowls in Arkansas as were ex- hibited here at the late Poultry Show.
 And so it would be with a county Fair, which in its scope would take in all the products of the farm, field and factory, and which would bring into one magnificent display the resources of this matchless country, wherein would be arrayed in grand review the art, industry and enter prise and the boundless resources and products of South Eastern Ark ansas.
 And, then, too, this magnificent exhibit unfolding q oornucopia of natures loveliness and extravaganza together with the industry and art of our people, could be interspersed with series of amusements such as horse races, bicycle races, baseball etc, as would attract multitudes from all parts of the State.
 Pine Bluff enjoys enyiable and exeeptionable opportunities for holding a County Fair-opportuni- ties possessed by no other city in the S.ate.
 We are centrally located, with ample facilities for transportation by river and rail which would afford the puDllc easy access 10 our Fair
 And in addition have frst-class fair grounds, with payillions, stables and race track, all of which can be had for the asking. Therefore Pine Bluff could hold a Fair atan expense that would easily be covered by the gate receipts, to say nothing of the profit that would be derived by the local business men from the visitors attracted here by the Fair.
 Pine Bluff should certainly hold an annual Fair, aud our business men are standing in their own light and way by not organizing an association for that purpose.
