On the Maklns of q Newspaper.

The leading articles, which look so
imposing and which express the policy
of paper on important subjects, are
not troublesome from the point of view
of organization The editor decides COM
paratively early in the evening what
subjects shall be written about, and he,
of course, also directs the lines which
the articles shall follow. Unless he be
II very wise or very foolish man he does
not attempt TO write any CT them him
self.
From what we have already described
it will be sufficiently clear that an edi-.
tor who really edits paper has no time
10 write. He is responsible for every
thing and has in the last resort to ar
range everything. He or his assistants
read every line of every proof sheet;
they have TO be constantly on the look
out for insidious errors, for doubles"
the same news given twice or given
previously-for matter which should
not be published and for numberless
other equally important Things. A real
" competent editor is one of the rarest
men in the world and one Of the ablest.
The work of a cabinet minister cannot
compare With his work. A really good
editor can direct the policy OF his paper
Oh some essential matter at one moment
and at the next detect turned COM
ma Nothing is too great and nothing
is too small for his instant comprehen-
sion. His nerves must be of iron or
worry will kill him. He must feel his
responsibility, yet carry it lightly. He
must not harass his staff. Above all, his
liver mast be in good order. Indeed,
we think that, given this and ability,
the ether qualities will be added unto
him.-ChambeYs Journal.

Kissing In Kentucky.

GA Kentucky man, says the Cincin-
natl Tribune, "was fined $40 last week
for kissing a girl once. About three
months back another man in the same
state was fined $40 for kissing another
girl three times. 1t will be interesting
to watch these osculatory experiments,
for by so doing we may discover just
how often it is necessary to kiss Ken
lucky girl without mourning the dis
pleasure OF the law. !"

THE SUMMER VACATION.
A Change, Even If In Minor Things, VIII
Be u Great Benefit.

30 ~ SrrCnU ISencut.
In The Ladies' Home Journal Edward
". Box gives some sensible advice upon
Going Away In Summer. He points
to the mistake that, instead of Arrest and
change, so many women aud girls, phys
ically tired and in need Of recuperation,
make of their vacations round of con-
tinuous gayoty, every moment crowded
with some excitement or pleasure. In
consequence the woman who goes away
for n rest comes back tired and worn
out. Mr.. Box very truly says: ''Wo all
speak of going away when we start on
vacation, but most of Us do not go
away. Going away means cutting
ourselves entirely FREQ from everything
that has entered into our lives during
the year, away from things which have
occupied us, away from disturbing trou-
bles, away from depressing surround
ings, away from ones daily self to seek
for ones best self, away from familiar
places and people. Such Il change means
a change III ourselves, Ill our thoughts,
in our ideas, in our motives, in our out
look OIL every lulIS. LiiN Ae'S'' sAA''o ~
must ever keep ourselves busy, even III
vacation, so that the mind may not be-
come rusted, is all nonsense.
For those who cannot go away MIR.
Box advises change in their mode of
living or in their daily work. I've need
change in our lives. he contends,
"even if it is only change of rooms,
OF merely not sleeping in the Same
rooms in summer as we do i'll winter.
or even u Encouragement Of the furni-
ture, of the curtains, carpets or pictures
in our room-any change. No woman
is so humble of circumstances that she
cannot mako her life pleasanter aud
higher, bringing some change into 1t
4 rest at home, with the mind refreshed
by comprising minor changes from day
to day, is ofttimes as much needed and
as beneficial as 4 long journey to other
places or in other lands. Ones limita-
tions are often OF immeasurable good rs
they show us how TO get personal bene-
fit in spite of them. Going away Ill
the summer need not always mean leav-
ing the city or leaving ones home. 1t
is. of course, better if we can do so, but
we can stay at home and yet go away
go away from things lis we have had
them for twelvemonth and make them
different"

NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 27.-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange lfeless again to-day. Here
and there, owing TO special causes. some wide
changes were noted, but the MAORI Of the usual
ly active issues dragged along in listless way
A feature of the session was the depression in the
Hooking Valley securities, the common falling 23z
to z, the lowest figure yet reached. The consoli-
dated hves dropped S1 to So aud the general fiyes
TO 63. the former subsequently ra lying to 701s
and the stock 10 S1z. The break was due mainly
to forced sales of securities held in loans. Reports
OF receivership could not be confirmed, although
the rumor was again widely circulated. In Feb
ruary and March the company has interest charges
of about $1,000 to meet.
In consequence the effort OF the managers ofthe
bituminous roads TO settle their differences and
res .ore rates is anxiously awaited The Ohio soft
day, but up TO the close nothing of definite char
acteF could be obtained. The anthracite Goa ers
we're also heavy at times Delaware and Hudson
and Lackawanna were pressed for sale on fears Of
unfavorabe annual r-portG The hrst-named
company submitted It's statements for the year
ended December 81, 1896, Just near the close. IL
showed loss OF net earnings of $780, 243 and de-
felt of $6S4,9SS In 1895 the deficit was $751;
6O6. Dividends earned last year fraction
over per cent, against 634 in 1893. In both
years per cent was paid 10 the stockholders,
The Lackawanna report will come later in the
week. and the best information is that this com
pany will also make a poor showing The market
was not specially in nfuenced by the beavIness of
the coal properties and held toerably firm until
the pub ication of the Delaware and Hudson re-
port, when a slightly weaker zone was noticeable
cut aloof from the 6 neral market, the Decem Der
statement OF the St Paul having exceeded the ex-
pectations of the bulls. For the period named the
road reported gain in net clearings of $4148. It
said that he Burlington report for the same
month will also show slight increase in net
earnings. This statement is looked for. Outside
of issues named, there was nothing III the market
to call for special comment. Com missioz- house
business continued dull, while London operators
cut no figure whatever in the dealings.
Speculation closed quiet. Net changes show loss
Of u to "a per cent. the latter in Delaware an
Hudson Long Island advanced per cent TO 46
