state it would be impossible to keep a

in good shape last fall, and there is
no reason why they should not re-

AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.
But It Made Some Titters and Sly
Chuck1es.

A laughable but rather embarrassing
case of mistaken identity occurred the
other day in 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, amt spending your money, or
no other mans money, and I'll-''

the confused gentleman. Il supposed

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 fod-
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
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 constan
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which should not be published, and for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 a turned comma. -
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
ID unto him.-Chambers' Journal.

NOT STUCK ON THE JOB.
But He Breathed Easier When the
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:

'T made up my mind yesterday that I'd

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 a row with
passenger a 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. 'I wouldn't fool with a job
like this IL there was twice the money

tor, bitterly. LAS if you didn't know

taking out his notebook again why,

dered sort of way, and after getting

s'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
beneficent 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 Cod first as the
Father, second as experienced in Christ
