journalism as a Profession.

Does the novice dream of reputation
also in the fields of journalism? 1t is a
dream indeed. He will too often find
his hopes ruthlessly crushed between
the upper milestone of a ceaseless grind
of nerve wearing work and the neither
milestone of fear on the part of his en-
ployer, that the acquisition Of some
measure of popularity, the enhancement
of professional reputation in the public
esteem, may involve an increase in the
Office pay roll. There is no hope of lit
erary laurels for the writer who sticks
to the ranks of newspaper workers, be-
cause, first, newspapers have little use
for writings of distinctively literary
character, and, second, the training that
fits a writer for journalism largely I'M
fits him for literature, and vice versa
There is fellow feeling between the
author and the newspaper man, but no
real professional kinship. Dickens Kip
ling, Howells, Willard, Hawthorne,
Stevenson, Hay, Blaine, SAKE, Whit
man, Harte, Twain, Taylor, Murray,
Barrie and less brilliant luninaries
abandoned the proftless moiling of
news and editorial service to harvest
fame and fortune in other fields, most
of them as authors-writers of books.

LIVE STOCK MARKET


The beef market has ruled rather
quiet, except on Thursday, when there

for the day lost. Quotations are rather

TORPEDO Boats Like Small Boys.

At best torpedo boats are frail struc-
lures in which everything is sacrificed
to speed, says Professor Ira N. Hollis
in The Atlantic. Even a voyage across
the Atlantic is perilous, and they are of
no use whatever unless accompanied by
a coal supply. The protection against
torpedo boats is provided by a number
of rapid fire guns, and when we consid-
er that one shot would be likely to de-
stroy the motive power of one of these
little craft we can understand what a
slender chance she would have if dis
covered. The Iowa could fire at least 100
of these shots per minute ON each broad
side and could thus surround the shin
with a perfect rain of projectiles deliv-
cred with great accuracy of aim. In
fleet action such a small vessel would
be like a small boy who has interfered
in a street fight among men.
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1898-06-24

1t is estimated that ole of the huge
10, ~ or 3 inch guns Is good for about
100 shots. Each shot Will use about
hundredth part of a second in travelling
the barrel from breech to muzzle. Thus
the active life of a ID inch gun-which
is 33 feet long, weighs 70 tons and uses
500 pounds of powder to hurl its l, 900
pound projectile from 10 to IL miles
is just one second long. If this monster
is fired 100 times, it will use up 20 tons
of powder, at cost of SIT, 500; shoot
100 1000 pound projectiles at a cost of
$50, 900 and as the gun costs originally
$50, 900, grand total of S112, 600 or
about 81, 1870 for each shot.-Chicago

What Ibsen Would Do.

The Danish poet Peter Nansen, says
in a recent number of a German maya
zine that Ibsen is becoming much more
agreeable than he used to be A young
woman said to him not long ago, "What
would you do if you had $1,000, 000?"
''If 1 had 81, 900, OOO" he replied, ST
should buy an elegant steam yacht,
with electric lights and all modern COM
forts, with a crew of 100 and a grand
orchestra. Then l should invite 20 good
friends to travel with me. We would
visit many fine regions, but our princi-
pal goal would be the island of Ceylon,
which must be, from all L have heard,
the most beautiful spot ON earth. ~

A Story About Commodore Casey.

No one has higher opinion of the
American sailor than Commodore Casey,
the commandant at the League Island
navy yard, as the following story will
show. Recently there was produced at
one of the local theaters a naval play,
the theme being trouble between Amer
lea and England, in which one of the
American sailor. In order to make him
self perfect in his part the actor visited
the navy yard and asked the commo-
dore for the privilege of looking around.
The commodore not only granted the
request, but in a personal talk gave the
actor some pointers. Later the actor
submitted the manuscript of his part to
the commodore, who suggested that
some of the lines which were directed
against England be stricken out. One
line was evidently missed by the COM
modore. 1t was as follows, "We haven't
got much manpers, but we can fight
like hi"
After the play had been produced the
actor had photographs taken in costume,
and to show his appreciation of what
the commodore had done for him he
sent one of the pictures to that official.
On the back of the photograph the actor
wrote the line quoted above and APP
pended his autograph. By the next
mail the performer received a letter
from the commodore, in which he was
given to understand that that official of
the navy knew the American sailor to
be gentleman at all times. "But 1 APP
prove the last part of the sentence"
concluded the commodore.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been made
and that too, by a lady in this country.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years she withstood its Sc
vesest tests, but her vital organs were un-
dermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed ineessant-
" and could not sleep. She finally dis
covered a way to recovery, by purchasing

According to an official order issued
By Adjutant. General Corbin. the First
Delaware Regiment, which ia now at
Camp Meade, at Middlstown, Pa, is
not to be mustered out at present, but
is to remain there for further orders.
How long it will be retained in the
service OF the government or to what
duty il will be assigned is not known
1t Is believed, however, that il will be
mustered out in a fYw weeks, aa great
pressure has been brought to bear on
the President and the army officials to
have the troops sent home, now that
the war ia over and many members of
the regiment desire to return to their
work.
More evidence Of improper treatment
of the men is being brought to light
every day. Following is portion of
lettar received on Saturday by the
mother of one of the members of ths
Delaware regiment:

1t is said that there is plenty of food
at Camp Meade, and it would seem as
il there shoul6 be no difficulty about
feeding the men properly. As maitar
of fact, soms of the Delaware soldiera
have gone 10 the camp of tile coloreti

days, and to the credit of the colorcd
