The writer who, in the October num-
Der of the University Magazine, criti-
cises the American newspaper press
because Of its alleged overuse of stock
words and phrases is not sustained by
the facts. Not only do we seldom see,
nowadays, such expressions as ''yel-
low metal" fiery element" "palatial
hostelries,' ''speckled beauties" "finny
tribe" etc, to which the writer in
question refers, but those other old
stand-bys of a few years ago, "the
fire laddies responded promptly"
great excitement prevails and eff
caught he will be lynched," are al
most never observed in the columns
of any city newspaper and seldom in
the journals published in the smaller
towns. If they do appear in a news
paper known to be carefully edited or
dinarily, one may be certain that they
are used ironically, or that the fifth
assistant city or telegraph editor has
been 'Dn the desk" and that all the
copy readers are in love, or in debt.
or in some other trouble that makes
it impossible for them to keep their
minds on their work. Even the raw
est of cub reporters soon learns to
avoid such bromides as those men
toned. Indeed, instructions on that
point are usually among the first given
him. Considering the remarkable pace
that must be maintained in daily news
paper offices, we think we are justified
in saying that America has a right to
be proud of the quality of the English
employed by her representative pub
LEGATIONS of that class. We believe that
in this resDect-as in all others-the
United States press will compare more
favorably with the foremost daily jour
nails of England, or, for that matter,
with many of the popular magazines
and books of the present day, in the
making of which there is no necessity
for hurry.

DANGER IN MOTH BALLS.
Physicians Say the Naphthalene
Kind Are Poisonous.

Paris. Oct 26.-Napthalene moth
balls, so commonly used by housewives
to preserve clothing from months and
other insects, were the subject of an
attack this week at the French acad-
envy of medicine, when two eminent
physicians stated that the substance
was not only useless as a preservatiVe,
but highly prejudicial to health.
Mothballs, they declared, give off OK
ide of carbon and poison the blood
corpuscles. They cited several cases
of asphyxia caused by naphthalene
fumes.
The poison is all the more dangerous
as its effects are insidious, and not
easily perceived until too late

Public opinion is in itself a most
powerful weapon with which to combat
the anarchy of genius and wealth, but
if that should fail to be effective the
public sentiment is so easily trans
muted into statutory law, with all of

of the people should become debauched
the efforts of licentious men who would
hide behind genius or wealth defy the

FAN BATHS FOR TYPHOID.

Fan baths are the latest remedy used
by the Boston City hospital physicians
in the treatment of typhoid fever.
Heretofore the ice plunge was used, and
a patient whose temperature had
reached the danger point was soused
in bath tub filled with broken ice
until his teeth ratified. The treatment
after a time was found to be too heroic,
as the shock was too severe and pneu-
monia sometimes developed. The ice
water sponge baths were substituted,
but the fan baths, the doctors declare
are just the thing. The patient, is
sponged off with ice water first, then
a sheet that has been soaked in ice
water is wrapped about the body, and
more ice water is sprinkled on the
sheet. The current of an electric fan
is then turned on him so that he is
chilled by the rapid evaporation caused
by the breeze. Recent experiments
have proved this measure highly sue
cessful.-New Haven Journal.

To argue from the other side?

Let alone the way it looks.
They'd never sit at home and sew

should not even like to say
That they would bear it for a day.
They do not know how hard it seems
To be a girl still in ones dreams,
To feel that one can never be
A drummer boy or go to sea.
Our brothers say were hard to please
Because we long for things like these.
They think it is a pleasant life
To wait until you're some ones wife.
When I'm a wife I'll gladly sit
At home and cook and sew and knit.
But there's a lot of waiting when
You're but little girl of ten.
Our brothers do not seem to know
That waiting can be very slow
You see, they've never really tried
To argue from the other side.

Fitness for the Farm.

Farming was once an almost univer-
sal occupation. but It Is now a special
lied calling, like any other, and a GER
tain fitness for 1t is as necessary as it
Is for business, law or medicine. Peo-
|'ple, farms and the modes of fitting the
people for the farms vary so widely
that one finds 1t difficult to adjust mat
ters properly.
There are some people who could
not be fitted for any farm: and there
are some farms for which no one
could be fitted: and there is a certain
kind Of fitting that would ruin any
person for any farm.
II person Is properly fitted for
farm life the fitting of the farm to

success Of farming one must know
1t as trade; he should be as good a
business man as the merchant: he
should be practical in his methods of
thinking and reasoning.
IL one has fitted himself for farm
life. he will understand the methods or

NEW YORK TENEMENT HOUSE A
DEATH TRAP.
Thirteen People We're Burned to
Dcath.-Firc Is Thought to BE
Work OF lnccndiary.

New York, Nov. 25.-Thirteen per-
sons lost their lives and several others
were injured early today in a ten
ement house fire at One Hundred and
Ninth street and Second avenue. All
the dead were Italians. Seven Of the
13 were children. The bodies were
found huddled together in rooms on
the top floor of the four-story build
ing, where the terror-stricken people
had been driven by the flames. which
rushed up from the lower floors. They
had succumbed before they could
reach windows which led to the fire
escapes. Some had been enveloped
in the flames and burned alive. 9th
ers, overcome by smoke, were spared
the agonies Of death in the flames.
That the fire was the work Of in
cendiaries who sought revenge is tn.
opinion Of the police and iremen,
who made the first hasty examination.
Three weeks ago three Italians were
caught in the act Of attempting 10
rob a safe in the saloon Of Giuseppe
Cudano, on the ground floor. Jhe sa fe
contained over $4,000, which the sa-
loon keepers friends had withdrawn
from banks during the money panic.
The would-be robbers were arrested
and are now awaiting trial. The fir.
OF today started in Cunado's saloon
and the police believe that it may
have been the work Of friends OF the
prisoners. who took this m&ns Of
squaring the account with the saloon
keeper. :,s
