Making Of a Newspaper.

The leading articles, which look SO
imposing, and which express the pol
icy of paper on important subjects,
are not troublesome from the point of
view of organization. The editor de-
cides comparatively early in the even
ing what subjects shall be written
about and he, of course, also directs
the lines which the articles shall fol-
low. Unless he be a very wise or very
foolish man, he does not attempt to
write any of them himself.
From what We have already de-
scribed it will be sufficiently clear that
an editor who really edits a paper has
no time to write. He is responsible
for everything, and has in the last re-
sort to arrange everything. He or his
assistants read every line of every
proof sheet; they have to be const ant
ly on the lookout 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which should not be published and for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 really 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 di
rect the policy of his paper on some es-
sential matter at one moment, and at
the next detect turned comma" I"
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 must be in good order. In
deed, we think that, given this and
ability, the other qualities will be add
d unto him.-Chambers' Journal.

AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.
But It Made Some Titters and Sly
Chuckles.

A laughable but rather embarrassing
case of mistaken identity occurred the
other day in a large diapers shop. A
gentleman who is a little too fond of
joking entered the shop for the pur-
pose of meeting his wife at a certain
counter. Sure enough, there stood a
lady dressed, to his eye, at least, just
like the woman he was after.
Her back was turned and no one was
near her; so he quietly approached,
took her by the arm, and said in a
voice of simulated severity: We'll,
here you, are spending my money as
usual, eh?"
The face turned quickly toward him
was not his wife's; it was that of an
acrid, angry, keen-eyed woman of
about fifty years, who attracted the
attention of everybody in that part of
the shop by saying in a loud, shrill
voice:
mo, I amt spending your money, or
no other mans money, and I'll"
Il beg your pardon, madam cried
the confused gentleman Il supposed
you were my wife, and
We'll, 1 just amt your wife, nor no
other mans wife, thank fortune, to be
jawed at every time I buy a yard of
ribbon! l pity your wife if you go
about shaking her like you did me. If

no more, but made his way out of the
shop, amid the filters and sly chuckles
of those who had witnessed his con-

Wholesome Diet.

The girl with the Cupid's bow mouth
and her friend with a dimple in her
chin came into the restaurant and
sunk wearily into their seats.
What shall we have to eat?" said
Cupid Mouth, anXiously.
''Oh, dear, 1 don't know" responded
DimpleChin.
Well there's whole-wheat bread and
truffied chicken and lobster salad and

glass of lemonade

said Cupid Mouth. "Oh, no. l won't
either. I'm going to have cucumbers
and brown bread and vanilla ice-cream
and green tea
Then having ordered this wholesome
food they settled back and chatted
about the way they had felt ali spring.
And Dimple Chin wondered why she
was so nervous, and Cupid Mouth de-
clared that she couldn't understand why
her complexion was so bad. She
really thought she'd have to try some
remedy to tone UP her system.-Chicago

NOT STUCK ON THE JOB.
But He Breathed Easier When tn,
Supposed Spotter Had Explained.

Somehow the conductor regarded the
young man with suspicion when he got
on the car, and the young man seemed
to be considerably interested in the
conductor. He watched his every mo-
ton, seemed to study the register from
time to time, and once or twice took out
his notebook, and made some entries in
it.
Finally, as the conductor passed the
young mans seat, swinging along the
footboard at the side of the car, he
said in an offhand way:
II don't like this job, anyway
"No?" said the young man.
mot a Bit" returned the conductor
IT made up my mind yesterday that I'd
quit at the end of the week"
MOP" said the young man.
Sure answered the conductor.
There's nothing in it,
Then the conductor went on with his
work collecting fares, but he seemed
to give a particularly vicious tug at
the cord connected With the register
every time, and he got into row with
a passenger few minutes later that
frightened woman so that she left the
car.
The young mans notebook was out
again almost instantly, and he seemed
to be making elaborate memoranda
when the conductor came his way
again.
You're just wasting your time" sug-
gested the conductor
Am II" inquired the young man,
pleasantly.
Certain sure answered the con-
ductor. 81 wouldn't fool with a job
like this II there was twice the money

need of your turning that report III.

tor bitterly. LAS if you didn't know

ductors, just for practice
The conductor said "Oh," in a bewil-
dered sort of way, and after getting
back to his place on the platform he
looked a good deal like a man who
wanted to kick himself
You can't tell a spotter by the way
he handles a notebook" was all he said,
however.-Philadelp Times.

Could Only Afford a Wife,

A brawny Swede visited the City Hall
the other day to procure a marriage
license, and couple of clerks to whom
he innocently stated his wishes directed
him to the department where dog Ii
censes are issued.
He approached the license window
diffidently, gave his name and address,
and asked what the document would
cost.
1T will cost you 81 year for every
dog you keep" replied the clerk.
'-Dog?" echoed the Swede
Why. certainly" continued the clerk,
Don't you want a dog license?'

"Dr. Lyman Abbott, who recently
discovered that the whale did not
swallow Jonah, discovered, no later
than Sunday last, that the accepted
idea of the Trinity rests on nothing
more substantial than ignorance and a
perverse superstition" says the New
York Examiner" (Bapt). The doc
tor finds that the doctrine of the Trim
ity rests on no better basis than the
accepted Roman Catholic belief in the
worship of the Virgin, and holds, at the
same time, that the doctrine, false as
it is, yet contains a truth which, in the
benefcent ordering of the universe, it
was reserved for him to formulate at
Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. In
short, DR.. Abbott finds that the Trim
ity is not tripersonality, but a three
fold experience of God first as the
Father, second as experienced in Christ
