A Country Editor.

We look into q cradle and behold a
male child. At the age of 10 he Is a
noisy kid, with half the buttons off his
pants and an eye for meanness. At
the age of Il no Ia q devil in a print
shop; at % the publisher Of country
newspaper, at the head of every en-
terprise calculated to improve the town
or enrich the business thereof; at 35
he Is an emaciated and wornout man,
with holes in his pockets and bald
head; at the age Of 80 he is q corpse in
a cheap coffin, and his only resources
left behind are two cases Of long
primer type, a Washington handpress
and subscription book with 500 delin-
quent subscribers, who line up and
march past the coffin, saying, HE was
a public spirited fellow but he couldn't
save anything" Metal Polisher.

Sardou is one of the few great stage
managers In Europe. He and Sir Hen
~ Irving are probably tho two best.
How Is it dope2 Well, you see," re-
piled NJ. Sardou, II know exactly what
want, and take care that get itv'
Sir Henry's answer to the same ques-
ton would not, one imagines, be very
different from this. Sardou does not
read lecture to an actor whose in
donation is incorrect or whose gesture
displeases him; he takes the actors
place on the boards for q few moments
and goes through the part.
In theory this is simplicity itself; in
practice 1t Is sometimes productive Of
emotions which the scene Is not in
tended to convey. AS q rule, NJ. Sar-
dou's demeanor at rehearsal Is beauti-
full, but If people will not do as ne re-
quests he can tear his hair and a
speech to tatters with the best of them.

comes Mr.. Honeytongue again. but he

Two Civil Wnr McaaaEes.

1t was day or two after General
Fitshugh retired that the telegraph
lines between Carlisle and Harrisburg
We're put In condition for service, and
the first two messages that passed
over them gave more than one officer
and civilian laugh. The Harrisburg
operator was Of the army variety and
not noted for choice diction or even
grammatical accuracy. but he could be
terse on occasion. The Carlisle man,
a civilian named Noble. probably knew
more Of the rules Of syntax, but he
was bit fustered. Here are the mes
sages-and In those days they were Of
record. since receiving and sending by
sound was not In vogue:
Query-Has tho rebels wentP
Answer-They IL.
After all there Is merit in the inter-
change. There was no room for doubt
ms to what headquarters ut Harris
burg wanted to know nor as to the
military condition at Carlisle. But
poor Noble! His friends nearly forced
him to resign by the methods known
as "Josh." -AIinneapolis Times.

,f BUBBLES THAT ENDURE.
Those fiade by New Process VIII
 Not Bust for Several Days.

Nearly all the boys and girls like to blow soap bubbles, but the trouble
 with these pretty many ccIored globes
 is that they burst so easily This need
 not be the case if they are blown with
 the mixture the recipe for which is
 given here: Cut into very thin shay
 ings one-fourth of ar ounce of castillo
 soap; dissolve this in ten ounces of
 water, which is kept warm (not hoD,
 and when this soap mixture is cco1 filter it; put this inc0 Q sixteen ounce bottle Ca full pint bottle holds sixteen | Ounces), and add glycSrine to it until
 the bottle is full; put the glycerine in
 very little at time, corking up the bottle and shaking it as hard as you can after every few drops of glycerine When the bottle has been filled and thoroughly mixed by shaking as above directed cork it up and set away where it will not be disturbed for . few days
 In a short time the mixture will be- come muddy looking, but after a few days a white layer will be found float ing on the top, while the rest Of it will
 be clear. This clear part must be drawn out without stirring up the top layer, and thlS can be dCne by the use Of syphon. A syphon may be made from any piece of small tubing The tube must first be filled with water and if it is a small tube it may to pinched near the middle and the water will not run out even when the ends hang down. Lower one end of the tube to the bottom of the bottle and let inc other end hang down outside. Re very sure that the outside end hangs lower than the bottom of the bottle. If you have managed this right, first the water that was in the tube and then the mixture will begin to run out of the tube and will not stop until the bottle is emptied. Let the wa.er run out of the tube first, then as socn as the mixture begins to come out catch it in another bottle. As soon as the white layer on top of the mixture comes down to the bottom Of the bot t.e take the tube out, as you only want the clear part
 Large and beautiful bubbles may be blown with this glycerine mixture and if they are allowed to rest on a bone teething ring Or soft wCollen cloth they will keep their shape for three or four hours. If a glass shade is placed over the bubble it will keep | for three or four days.-Boston Her ! aid.

YAQUI CRUELTY
r1lIIir and RemIey First Tortured
 and Then Murdered.

Speaking of the recent murder of Messers. Miller and Remley cores pendent Of the Oasis says:
 "On July 18th Messrs. Remley and Miller of Hermosillo, the former of the firm cf RlemIey and Lewis, and the lat ter a well known photographer, left this city in sulkey for a trip to Ala mos. from whence they were going to secure horses and proceed to the Sier- Ia Madre mountains where MT. Ram- ley had a prospect. They arrived aS Torin on the goth and left in the after noon Of .tne 21st, intending 10 camp out that night near a small town nam ed Bacum. After being GUS few miles from TOlin, it is not positively known whether they were on the road CT in camp, 1t is presumed they were camping for the night, when they were attacked by Yaquis and killed III a most horrible manner. Their arms and legs were bound with rop9 Ehey had used for a stake rope, and after that their hands were cut off inch by inch and their feet tine same way. Then with another rope they were strung up to a tree and were found hanging the next morning by q c0m- pany of soldiers, the sulkey being burnt and the horses shot to death. The bodies were either taken to TOrin or Cocrit. it is not known yet to which place At the time these gentlemen had several hundred dollars in paper with them

 be bought at wholesale, and they are
 far from being the handsome tributes one would suppose from the descrip-
 tions, for the stones are small and thin. On the whole they are rather economical substitute for the fees which would ordinarily be paid. The presents received by the men for sing ing are somewhat more varied in character. and range from cigar boxes in silver to such articles as that given to EdOuard de Reszke this summer a pair Of goblets. One of the German decorations which a grand duke be- slows on every singer who comes to his capital is the equivalent of salary, as Cnly the expenses of travelling and lodging are paid. The grand duke has not decorated many celebrities lately. Few singers wear the decorations in public, and they are rarely seen at the Metropolitan except on the German performers, who seem to have more pride in them than any of the other performers. This may be due to the fact that German singers are less ire quently provided with gems than those that have appeared in other lands New York Sun.

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS
Claimants Growing Gray Waiting
 for Returns.

A few days ago MT. Samuel Hughes received a circular from Washington , firm, says the Citizen, which letter in formed the receiver thereof that cer- tain claimants lad been made happier from the fact that their claims had gone to judgment, Arizona being cred fted with the name Of M. 4. Stanford, Phoenix.
 A visit to the office of Attorney FIX. Miller disclosed the fact that he alone had claims before the departme1t,3g- gregating as a whole $8O,O0O It was surprising to note the number who have had Indian depreciation claims before the department, and who have passed to the great beyond, while waiting wearily fer returns from the govtrnment. The rowing bands of Apaches did the work, whereby the early settlers suffered great loss. Gov ernment agents have been here, as well as elsewhere, in quest of testi- mony, and hundreds of pages bearing on various cases have been gathered in evidence of claims that often'.inles run up to narly $100,000 in individual instances. These papsrs are piled up in Washington, and lawyers and col lectors in the capitol are in touch with those who take up matters here for clients. Still a few have grown weary waiting Certainly the mills of the Gods grind slowly

PRoUDEsT MAN IN FRA.!cE.
Paris ShOemaker's Sixteen Children
Win Him a Prize.

Paris, Jan. 2S.-Ali sorts of odd compe-
titions are witnessed from time to time in
the French capital, but one has just drawn
to close here which is of peculiar inter
est on account of the proyerbiaI scarcity
of large families in France.
NJ. de Reyerdy, a phiianthropist, who
died not long ago, left legacy, the inter
est of which, amounting to $40 francs an
| nually, is to be given every two years to
the father of the most numerous and best
trained family among the work .ngInen IF
Paris.
The first competition for the 1900 francs
prize took place recently, and not less than
sixty eight candidates presented them
selves, together boasted of having 466 liy-
ing children.
The municipal committee selected
shoemaker named yanderbrouck as the
most exemplary paterfamilias
| VanderbTeuck has sixteen children, aud
| it would be difficult to find hea thier lot
| OF youngsters gathered in one family. The
| oldest child is a girl. twenty-five years
| old, and the youngest is also girl, in r
| fifteenth month.
| Not long since Vandenbrouck was COM
! PEELED to vacate the little shop, with its
| back rooms, where he had worked for
| many years. The neighbors complained
| that his lively brood was too noisy. Dur
| ing his leisure he built with his own hands
neat cottage on a piece OF ground which
/ he had acquired by his frugality, and TO
! this he moved his family last month.
! His new home is far from pretentious,
but it is scrupulously clean. and its fur
nishings display good taste. The house is
two stories high. One of the bedrooms on
! the second floor accommodates eleven of
! the younger children. Four OF the boys
work day and night in the cobbler's shop
| on the first floor as apprentices.
Despite the indefatigable industry of
| Vandenbrouck and the parsimoIious econ
omy of his good wife. the family finds it a
hard task to make both ends meet, and il
| is festive occasion indeed when the lux
| ury of slice of fresh meat for every
mouth can be indulgod in.
When Vandenbrouck learned of his good
fortune ne was beside himself for JOY. He
has applied 700 francs of the prize to the
liquidation of q mortgage on his house. and
| with the balance of the money he has
| bought stock for his shop, which is grad
| ually being transformed into a shoe store.
