Importance Of Regular Living.

ACQUISITION has lately arisen as to the In
crease or the reverse in nervous diseases,
some arguing that the cause, Of the sup
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
In the incfeased demand made by the con-
ditions of modern life upon the brain. It
Is quite true that the conditions Of life are
very different nowadays from what they
were a few years ago. We now live In a high
pressure age, and in one Of keen competi-
tion, when greater effort Is needed In every
branch Of life to attain q successful posi-
tion, when the brain Is always working
and there is constant tension. Such con-
ditions, 1t viii be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to a diminution OF nerv-
GUS diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the game time, 1t cannot be denied that
the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men OF
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption Of
hyeienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount Of friction and waste.
It preserves vitality. Regularity econo-
mixes not only physical stamina, but time
as well. The man who knows no system
In the details Of his life, who exhausts ma
ture at the instance Of q passing whim,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, II
the one who must sooner or laterfall q vic-
tim to disease. Regularity and modera.
don In all things should be the motto OF
Life, and it should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment of variety. A certain amount
Of variety,preyents man from becoming q
mere machine, but variety should not in
terfere with those regular habits Of life
which are necessary to the maintenance OF
health.-New York Ledger.

4 Loaf Out Of . Newspaper Reporters
EARLY Experience.
"My first assignment" said an old ~
porter, "was to hnd out whether some
body was in town, or something Of that
sort. / know there was nothing to be
written about It,. I got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all I had to do chat day. For the rest Of
she day / sat around the Office and looked
on with an i~nfatuation that has never de-
creased. The next day I got my second
assignment. In this there was something
to write about. =.
"The city editor handed me a narrow
little strip of, white tissue paper out from a
sheet of ship news and containing, In two
lines of writing, Information that two Ia
.borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, COM
ing up the bay in tow of the tug So-and.
30. What L was to do wa to get the facts
about the occurrence and write them. 49,
"The city editor said that If I would
find the consignees Of the barge or the
owner Of the tug I would get on the trace
of the story. ~Fhe names Of the oonsignees
were in the two linesof ship news, and
simply by looking In the directory I found
their office Without the slightest trouble.
There1I learned where the cargo WAS tied
IN. It was al q wharf in Hoboken or
Weehawken, I don't remember which, and
j made for that. When I turned from the
street down the wharf, there she was, tied
up alongside, her name OF the wheelhouse.
She was about nalf %unloaded, and men
were still au work carrying off the ore.
81 was not altogether without expert.
ence in life, but I had never done anything
that gave me quite the satisfaction that 1t
did. to find that ore barge In my first 40
tual experience as a reporter. The captain
was aboard and so were the surviving
members Of the little party Of laborers
who had started up the bay in her, and so
the whole story was right there. I sat on
the stringpiece OF the whert and talked
with the captain otthe boat. Hetold the
story with enttrs Willingness. OF course
there was-Ro reason why he shouldn't, and
thsRfE went back to the office and wrote
AS up. 1t Was not q great story. I knew
that, 1T was like thousands of stories that
the newspapers are sending after all the
time, Of the manifold daily occurrence OF
life, but I must put 1t together in good
shape, get in all the facts and put the
story in the smallest space.
.tIn the morning I went out and got q
paper before breakfast. I wanted to read
my story of the loss Of the men from the
ore barge. I looked the paper over, and,
my gracious, I couldn't find it ALL ]
thought they must have left 1t out alto.
gether, but when I came to look the paper
over again I found it-a scant stickful,
with a single line head.
"But when 7 came to read 1t over ]
found that the facts were all there. They
had simply been brought closer together
by q method Of condensation far more acute
than mine and had then been set In agate
type. New York Sun.

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
When he brought out "Sappho, "an Amer
team publishing house that Issues religious
books, not knowing Its character, offered
N. Daudet a large SUM for advance sheets
Of the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue the book, and they
oabled to the author, 'Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. BE
consulted with numbers Of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho" in French
ia spelled with one "p''-"sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English It Is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudes, which much
relieved the novelist, and he oabled back
to the publishers, "Spell 1t with two p's."
It is needless to. state that the publishers
were more astonished at Daudet's reply
than be had besnsat their cable dispatch.

Japanese Journalism.

Japanese Journalism" says a mission.
ary's wife, "is q singular profession In
many Of it's features. There is practically
no such thing as freedom Of the press In
Japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government
1t is suppressed and the editor is sent to
prison. The real editor Is never impris'
oned, though. Every newspaper has what
the Japanese call a dummy editor, and 10
is his sole duty to go to jail every time tho
paper Is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor changes the
name of the.paper and keepson publishing
1t. Dummy editors spend most Of their
time in prison..
