HOW THE PAPERS MADE.

A youth from the hurly-burly street
Jams himself in a passenger lift:
And they shoot him stories high to meet
Another, who bendeth DER drift
OF copy. Who smokes and softly swears
As some ones poem he idly tears.
Or Chuckles with mrth sardonic;
He calls to Barrett and Jones and Flynn,
Brown and the one who has just come in,
End in the language, terse and laconic,
Assigns them all
TO city hail.
State house, central, game or bout.
Sermon horse race. boat race, club,
Lecture, banquet, ball or rout.
Write the news and not fiub-dub,"
He adds at parting, so on his run"
Goes each reporter undismayed
The chase for copy has now begun,
And that's the way the papers madc.
Over a desk in another nook.
Pallid pessimist pushes a pen,
Solemn as Poe's lugubrious rook
lie writes a leader on Public Men"
The telegraph chopper pastes and ships,
Reading one line to ten he skips,
With pipe in red eruption
And steadily up the copy goes
TO the type machines in stately rows
A hot screed on Corruption"

Bit of scandal in high life,
Interview with Gottherocks.
Story Of devoted wife,
Paragraph on Jerry's socks
The mills go grinding. The makeup
comes,
Growing because he learned the trade;
But he sorts the slugs with nimble
thumbs.
And that's the way the papers made.
A rush and a roar is heard below.
Where the hurried presses clang and
clash
Throwing off thirty thousand or so
Each hour they run, while the newsies
dash
A towns advertised best by a newsle S
yell
Paper. sir? Latest edition.
And pat, pat, sat, fall the folded sheets
Ready for sale on the crowded streets,
And each with a special mission,
Away they go,
Like flakes of snow,
To meet in the throbbing crowd;
Eager each to sean the news.
Toiler grim or magnate proud,
On a level all peruse
Politics, crime society stuff"
Fact and folly and pasquinade,
While the presses struggle to print

And that's the way the papers made

IT may he argued, as representing the
prevalent Southern opinion, that one
negro more or less doesn't make n
great deal of difference, irrespective of
the question of innocence or guilt. But

eager to relieve the officers of the law
of the trouble of administering Justice

their consciences were free from the

For a Hospital Annex.

The proposed innovation of an annex
to the Lackawanna hospital, where
paid patients will be treated, and where
The various reputable physicians of the
rity can find all the conveniences of
first-class operating rooms for use in
their private practice, seems to be
plan which can be given the hearty
cooperation of the public. The Lacka-
wanna hospital is constantly in need
Of funds and has always been hamp-
cred i'm it's noble work because of the
lack of an endowment or support in
proportion to its requirements. The
annex will not only be self-supporting,
receiving no financial aid from the hos
pital but will contribute a goodly divi-
dend to the latter. The utter separa-
tion of the two in location preCludes
any fear of contagion or sanitary dis
advantages. AS time advances people
are realizing thatwhen i'll their chances
of life are increased twofold under the
rigid rules of hospital practice. The
new institution would be sure of being
filled from it's opening week, and the
physicians of the city under whose
direction it will be largely placed will
deserve the gratitude of the public if
they shall succeed in establishing this
needed enterprise.

A Sumer Afternoon.

My boat drifts idle down the stream
Where through the hills it winds it
way,
Singing in every ripping CLEAN
The glory of the summer day.
Rugged and steep the mountains rise,
Yelled I'm their mist of chestnut bloom
And soft the sleeping sunshine lies
Athwart the tufted pine trees gloom,
The willows at the waters edge
Arc quivering in golden light
From hidden haunts of matted sedge
A startled heron takes his flight,
Then pauses where the rushes grow,
In this calm spot he fears no snare,
For cen the woodland creatures know
And trust the Eternal Spirits care,
1t whispers In the passing breeze
And hovers DER the tangled wood,
Dwelling in rocks and ferns and trees,
Qulckening the leafy solitude.
And as the sun moves toward the west.
Sinking beyond the farthest hills,
How distant seems the worlds unrest
While Natures peace my spirit stills!
And so l lay aside all care,
Unmndtul of lifes storm and stress;
For sunset glow and balmy air
Fold me in living tenderness.
Elizabeth M. VaTmocken, In Christian
Register.

A Gross Form of Business Dis
honesty.

The arresting of merchants under the
provisions of the pure food law and the
f1ning of them for keeping for sale
adulterated food articles often seems
to be unjust, in view of the fact that
most retailers are innocent of deCep-
tive intent in handling adultcrated
merchandise. But we do not see any
other practicable way in which the
purchasing public can be protected. If
the retailer is convicted and fined he
can insist that the jObber'who sold him
the impure articles refund the amount
of his fine, under penalty of loss of
trade The jubber, in turn, can carry
the case back to the manufacturer and
thus eventually the guilty person can
be reached.
Recent Investigations under reliable
auspices have demonstrated beyond
peradventure the fact that adultcration
of foods, and especially staple articles
OF food such for instance, as -four, is
practiced very largely and that vigor-
Gus measures are needed to stop it. a
committee Of the last congress which
looked into this subject at the request
Of the large milling interests of the
Northwest found that in 1897 between
5000 900 and 5000 600 barrels of adulter-
ated -four We're put on sale in the

was found that certain deleterious
chemicals were used, notably tlourine,
mneralne and barytcs. Anywhere
from 10 to 80 per cent. of real flour was
displaced by these ingredients.
Flourine, in addition to being defc-
lent in phOsphates, protein ana fat,
contains sulphate of soda and free sui
phuric acid. According to the agricul-
tural department experts a laborng
man would have to eat $50 pounds Of
fourine in order to obtain sufficient
nutrition to carry him through an or
dinary days work. Mineralne is sim

less but also harmful when introduced
into the stomach.
If commercial dishonesty does not
scruple to adulterate so fundamental a
food article as wheat flour, which is al
most the cheapest human food there is,

pears from recent Investigations in our

tates nature without impaiIing nutri-
tive values, as in the better grades of
oleomargarine, there is no Just ground
for criticism provided the imitation ar
tiCle is sold in its true character. But
where all kinds of minerals are used in
discriminatory TO cheat both the pur-
chaser's purse and his alimentary out
fit, then it is high time to cry a halt.
