The Fighting Editors.

l remember calling at the office of a
great Partisan newspaper with q friend
who wished to have rectified a state
ment published in it concerning him
When our business was made known,
we were ushered into handsomely
furnished room on the first floor. Seated
at desks, without a trace of pens, ink
or paper or of anything in literary
way except some new novels, together
with few packages of cigarettes, were
two gentlemen whose appearance made
considerable impression on me- They
were faultlessly dressed in deep black
(the duelist's COLOR Each had the rib
bon of the Legion in his buttonhole,
their long jet black mustaches were
waxed out to a point as fine as a
needles, and there was in their whole
manner, their voices, their gestures and
the expression of their eyes and mouths
an Understandable something that pro-
claims the man who at one time or an
other has worn uniform. These were
the fighting editors, with whom evil

the sword. They were civil, however,
and consented to the rectification of the
paragraph. AS fighting was their trade,
they looked at it in purely business
way and only went out when the de-
mands made were too unreasonable to
be entertained. fancy that they some
times fought i'll defense of articles they
had never even seen. .-Cornhill Ma "a

A Woman Matadore at Cordova.

Now comes the denouement, for upon

who in this particular performance was
woman, steps forth with brighter
red flag or cloak on a staff in her left

right, hidden beneath the right edge Of
the red flag. The bull makes dash for

The ancient pueblo builder, like his
modern descendant, was so completely
under the dominating influence of his
geographic environment that from sim
liar conditions he almost automatically
worked out similar results. In the mat
ter of site for his home, however, he
had some latitude, and the choice he
made reflected something of the social
conditions under which he lived. Thus
it is probable that in the earliest times
the people lived in small villages locat-
ed Oh the edges of valleys or near the
mouths of fertile fat bottomed canyons.
They lived IA. quiet, peaceful existence,
depending principally on the soil for
the means of subsistence, but not de
spising the harvest of grass seeds and
wild nuts which We're at hand and glad
to break the even, placid course of ex-
istence by periodical hunting expedi-
tiOns to the neighboring mountains for
deer and out into the great plains for
buffalo.
In the course of time, however, other
and more savage tribes came to the re-
gion, and these preyed upon the prior
occupants of the country, who were in
dustrious and provident and accumu-
lated stores against possible bad seasons.
1t is doubtful whether there were any
pitched battles or prolonged sieges, but
the robbers made periodical forays
through the fields when the crops were
ready for the harvest or perhaps as
saulted and looted some small village
when the men were away. - Cosmos

CARE OF THE EARS.

Never attempt to apply poultce to the
inside or the canal of the ear
Never drop anything into the ear until
1t has been previously warmed.
Never wet the hair If you have any tend
ency to deafness. Wear an oiled cap when
bathing and refrain from diving.
Never scratch the ears with anything
but the finger If they itch. Do not use the
head of pin, hairpin, pencil tips or any.
thing of that nature.
Never put milk, fat or any oily sab,
stance into the ear for the relief of pain,
for it soon becomes rancid and tends tc
excite Inflammation. Simple warm water
will answer the purpose better than any
thing else.
Never be alarmed if "a living insect en-
tiers the ear. Pouring warm water into
the canal will drown 1t, when it will gen
orally come to the surface and can easily
be removed with the fingers. A few puff:
of tobacco smoke blown into the ear will
stupefy the insect.

FRIENDSHIP.

Friendship, of itself holy tie, is made
more sacred by adversely. Dryden.
Communicating of mans self to his
friend works two contrary effects, for it
redoubleth joys and cutteth griefs in
halves.-Bacon.
That part of our noble friends that we
love is not that part that we mbrace, but
that insensible part that our arms cannot
embrace.-Sir Thomas Browne
What is a friend? One who supports
you and comforts you while others do not.
Friendship is the cordial drop "to make
the nauseous draft of life go down "-Bos-
well.
Time draweth wrinkles in faire face,
but addeth fresh colors to fast friend
which neither heate nor cold nor miserie
nor place nor destinie can alter or dimin-
ish.-John Lilly.
When all things else are equal prefer an
old friend before a new. An old friend is
like old wine, which, when man hath
drunk, he doeth not desire new, because
he saith, "the old is better, but every old
friend was new once, and if he be worthy
keep the new one till he become ol0.-

READING.

David Pryde once gave some good advice
to readers:
First.-Read first the one or two great
standard works in each department of lit
erature. Confne then your reading to
that department which suits the particu-
lar bent of your mind.
Second.-Before you begin to peruse a
book know something about the author.
Read the preface carefully.
Third.-Take a comprehensive survey
of the table of contents
Fourth your whole attention to
whatever you read.
Fifth.-Be sure to note the most valua,
BILE passages.
Sixth. Write out in your own language
u summary of the facts you have noted.
Seyenth.-Apply the results of your
reading TO your everyday duties.

sageous to the training mind all the same

BishOn Cnxe'a Wit.

Bishop Coxe's wit was as quick as
his memory. On one occasion, being in
slight railway accident, the bishop
had lower berth ON one side of car,
the corresponding berth on the other
side being occupied by Presbyterian
minister. At the time of the concussion
neither was hurt, but both were thrown
into the aisle, their heads hitting to-
gether
Church unity" said the Presby-
terian divine.
Not entirely, said the bishop, rails
ing his hand to his heart. Church
unity to be complete must be Of the
heart as well as of the head. "
Another time a very lovely elderly
lady happened to mention to him that
she was second cousin of that dis
tinguished but unprincipled man,
Aaron Burr. II wish, " said the bishop
quickly, that you had had as good a
cousin as he had. "-George Alfred

OLD TIME TROTTERS.
A Great Race That Was Run In President
Jackson's Time.

A Great Race That Was Run In President
Jackson's Time.
The sports of the turf were grow
ing in popularity in the United
States. The contest lay principally
between the Messengers and the
Bashaws, though for time the
Stars in their courses had prevailed
against both. Probably all were of
original Arabian stock. The Stars
were slight of limb and had a
tendency to contraction Of the feet.
The stronger Messengers were more
to be depended upon for long dis
tance trotting The Bashaws came
from Barbary, and were of near and
unquestionable Arabian origin.
One of the most famous races in
all the history of the turf was at this
time fresh in the public mind.
Hunting Park course, in Philadel-
phia, was the scene, the time 1881.
The actors were such notable fliers
as Topgallant, Whalebone, Dread,
Chancellor, Collector, Lady Jack
son, Moonshine and Columbus. The
course was three mile track, and
there were four heats. The horses
were generally docked, and the
riders wore gorgeous suits of silk.
Eight such horses" says Wood
ruff, land such riders had never
met before, and it is doubtful wheth-
er they will again.
Topgallant, Messenger, was
nearly "a years old, and was spav-
ined at that. Whalebone had no
pedigree, and was minus one eye.
Columbus was known as the first
horse that ever trotted the three
mile course in less than eight min
utes. He had record of 1853. Col
lector won the first heat, Topgallant
the second and Dread the third and
fourth
The victor was gelding. Up to
this time all famous male trotters
were doomed to be the last of their
line. The era of trotting stations
was dawning. The rising hope of
the Bashaws was a famous PAGER,

of two miles in 5:18 at the Center

those days, for the Barbary title

The Barbary horse was really the
Arabian horse, that had removed
with his master from the desert
peninsula to northern Africa. The
Arabs claim that the horse was first
tanned by Ishmael, the son of Abra-
ham-or, as they style him, Ismail,

and said, Look at the difference be-

to the field by the cries Of the frightened
settlers and "friendlies," who nicknamed
him affectionately the "Old Gray Fox"
but before he had time to organize the SOL
diers for their deliverance numbering

Sierra Madre stronghold, dashing through
Sonora, Arizona and New Mexico on a cir

unparalleled in border history. Crook en-

their head Captain Emmett Crawford,

cavalry. Other detachments OF soldiers
took their stations along the border, but
the scouts, accompanied by Crook and 43
white soldiers, pushed on the back trail to
the savage lair in the Sierra Madrc noun

under skillful attacks, planned while tho
