Novel News for the Nervous.

y Vienna editor proposes to run q
newspaper for nervous people. Any
thing that might shock the nerves of
readers will be eliminated. We are
afraid that the editor will have to con-
fine himself almost exclusively to ac-
counts of pink teas, church bazaars.
and weinfests. Possibly some of the
latter could not be included. The
Chicago Journal cites a few in
stances:
Suppose the editor, for instance,
were running his paper in Chicago.
Could he have consistently published
any os the details of the Masonic tenn
pie. tax scandal? Surely this story
shocked many of our good citizens.
More than one had to seek out san
itarium after reading the sensational
exposures from the north side. At
present there are several candidates
for rest cure. The stock market re-
ports would have to be eliminated.
We are afraid that during the recent
slump in stocks the Journal had
nerve-raclSing news for many of its
readers. The race track news would
have to come under the head of mat

How many men have sought fiery
stimulants after reading the results
of the days races?
The details of the traction ques-
ton would have to be eliminated, for
surely this subject dragged along TO
such an extent as to make even
strong men decidedly tired. The thrill
ing details of the Illinois spealership
fight would have to be blacklisted,
too, as news calculated To make n
man weary. OF course all the Bartho-

cent crimes of lesser note, but sensa-
tional features. could haveSfound no

bled as his wife seized the paper and

The Tragedies of Poverty.

Two tragedies of poverty are rela-
ted by the New York World, which
carry with them serious problems and
suggest need for improved eondi-
tions in our social economy.
One was that of the suicide of Miss
Edith {. Hodges, woman born to
comfort and luxury. With her faith
er's death financial misfortune made
it necessary for her to earn n living
for her widowed mother. She consid-
cred her talents. She knew French.
She could paint. She had literary
ability, her friends of better days had
told her. She would go to New York
She sought French pupils. The
teachers were many; the pupils few
She tried painting. The painters were
many, the purchasers few. She tried
writing; writer's were many and pub
fishers few. And the end was work
in Il department store at SO a week
and an overdose of valerian.
The other case was that of the sui
eide of Marie Bahavy. Il little orphan
girl who. at Is, found poverty so gall
ing and taunts so cruel that she drank
carbolic acid after writing a pathetic
note to her brother. Il never in my
life enjoyed myself"
TO avert these tragedies of poverty,
what can be done?. That is the ques-
ton. One possible remedy suggested
is TO teach every child some useful
employment to which it might turn
in case of need. The busy are seldom
morbid and rarely suicide.

Butter very easily gets ''off flavor"
