How many people know how to send a stamp in a letter Nine out of ten stick it so carefully down that the recipient always loses his temper, and generally his stamp, in the effort to release it. It is really more exasperating than when the sender forgets altogether the stamp he should have for then, at least, it is not wasted. Even the most extravagant of us seldom have souls above saving a stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer to us than the two cents it The tenth person sends it loose, which is well enough, it does slip out unseen and vanish, as these totally depraved small things have a trick of doing. The proper way is a very simple one. Cut with a sharp penknife two par- slits at the top of your letter, and slip in your stamps, which will thus travel as safely as if in a special paper case.

His salary is usually under a less than he could get outside, but the precedence he gels by being, even in the smallest way, connected with Harvard, is really more to him than the shekels.

Japanese Gods Protect Only Nice, Clean People. The reason this idea of cleanliness was associated with the idea of dangerousness was in my opinion because was thought to be the enemy of the gods, and tho gods cannot be where any uncleanness exists. The gods are clean and pure, and those who are not clean and pure cannot but forfeit the protection of the gods. Those who are not protected by the gods can easily be attacked and injured by the evil and unclean spirits, and hence the idea of danger came to associated with th- idea This is perhaps made plainer by some concrete case. When I was a young boy tho custom of eating beef began to spread. As blood was regarded as unclean, and also as Japan had been a very strong cultural country, there was a very deep-rooted disinclination to cat beef. In this, of course, one has to recognize the influence of the principle of Buddhism. But to anybody who had ever tasted beef it was so delicious that he could hardly control his natural appetite by his religious scruple. My father was one of those knew its taste, and so now and then we used to treat ourselves to beef. But where did eat it We did not eat it inside of the house. We cooked and ate it in the open air, and in cooking and eating we did not use the ordinary utensils but used the special ones kept for that pose. Why all these things Because was unclean, and we did not like to spread this uncleanness into our house, wherein the is kept, and into our ordinary h might be used in making offerings to the gods. The day when ate beef my father did not offer lights to the gods nor say evening prayers to them, as he did usually, for he knew he was unclean and could not approach the gods. Then my mother, who did not and could not cat beef until very recently, did those things, and I, who used to par- take of the new dainty dish, often went to bed feeling as if I were clean and subject to dangers.

The represents an output of feet per annum. A joint caucus was held Tues- day by the Populists and cans and Butler and Pritchard were Dominated for the United States Senate.

THE WAREHOUSE WISE. BILL. A bill has been in the Senate by Mr. of Nash county, to reduce the salary of State and county officers and tobacco warehouse charges to a fraction over half of what they are now. To our mind the the gentleman who intro- this bill was pure, and all right, but in the light of common sense and sober reason let us look at what the result of such an enactment upon our statute books would be to the farming element of North Carolina. The being composed mainly of farmers and not made up of to- it is but natural that such a bill should meet with much favor at their hands, because naturally they calculate that the save in charges goes into the farmer's products and hence is that much made for him- But let us see- If the charges that warehouses usually collect are reduced half, instead of a friend to see that the tobacco sells for its worth the warehouseman is utter- and unable to take any risk whatever in chases of the tobacco. Do the farmers of North Carolina want to sell their tobacco with a man whose desires and in to see that the tobacco brings market value is so handicapped by the laws of the State that he is absolutely power- less to place his bid against that of an unfettered and ed competitor It is simply the of intensified and concentrated monopoly in the hands of tobacco purchasers who see proper to take advantage of it. In the disguise of approach- the farmer with a bill porting to be their friend and for their interest after it is fastened upon our statute books as a fixed law of the laud, those who are now fostering and urging the passage of the bill will find that they have been harboring an empty delusion which the space of two years will cost the tobacco farmers of this State more money than the difference between the present and proposed charges will amount to in ton years.

It is not until the joke passes beyond the immediate and original audience that its full flavor is and the long-delayed , laugh comes as its echo. This is one of the compensations of many dents in life which at the time are far from humorous, and, fact, often provoke indignation and sometimes lead to hasty words and actions which we afterwards regret when the humor of the whole occur- strikes us. To eat mutton cold, for instance, though but a passing affliction, at the time seems very remote from humor- ideas, and unless the English juryman is much maligned be would sooner hang a man than to miss the right turn of the roast or sup on cold I mutton.

A HARDENED YOUNG MAN. Possibly He Had Escorted Some Shopper Around Before. Several hundred people laughed themselves to the verge of hysterics In a well-known uptown dry goods store. They made merry and con- ducted themselves hilariously. And there was very little of a humorous nature in . It seems that a rather h young gentle- man had been beguiled by his sweet- heart, presumably, or possibly by his pretty sister, into accompanying her on a shopping expedition. But the youth was better fortified than most men when they are thus be- guiled, lie knew his business, and it was not a cold night.

Twenty-third street was crowded with early evening holiday shoppers. Most of them had bundles, and all of them showed that nervous hurry that characterizes Christmas chasers. The one leisurely figure the crowd was a young man in a long frock coat, embellished with a bunch of carnations, the most shin- of shoes, and a tall hat scarcely less shining, who had a black span- attached to a chain. The span- would have liked to be leisurely, too, but he had to skip about with much agility to avoid having his paws trodden on. In his the young man came to a little heap of packing boxes obstructing the sidewalk. He unfastened the dog's chain and whistled In a peculiar way. The spaniel leaped up on the highest box as if it were only a step, instead of four feet high, and sat up with one paw at salute. The hunting shoppers stopped as if a brick wall had appeared in front of them, and gathered around the box. The young man took no notice of them. my said he to the dog, have a quiet smoke.

In an intricate case where Daniel then a young had been made junior counsel, the was that of the validity of a will. The instrument was drawn up in proper form, and the witnesses swore that it had been legally One of them, an old servant, had already sworn that he saw the deceased sign the will. he continued, saw him sign it, and sure there was life in him at the This expression was re- so frequently that was led to believe that it had some peculiar meaning.

The eyes of your neighbors are fixed upon also.

Finally, by dint of clever leading and suggestion, drew from him the fact that a pen had been placed in the dead man's hand, and the legatee himself had guided it and traced the signature. But to meet the exigency of legal question- a living fly had been placed in the dead man's mouth. Thus there was in at tho time. Disproved.

The glory of Charles Dickens, says Frederic Harrison in the Forum, will always be in the his first, his best, his inimitable It is true that it is a novel without a plot, without beginning, or end, with much more of caricature than of character, with some extravagant tomfoolery, and plenty of vulgarity. But its orig- its irrepressible drolleries, its substantial human nature, and its intense vitality place it quite in a class by itself. We can no more group it, or test it by any canon of criticism, than we could or There are some works of genius which m to trans- all criticism, of which the very extravagances and in- crease the charm. And Pickwick ought to live with Gil Bias and Tris- tram a deeper vein, the tragic scenes in and in must long hold their ground, for they can be read and reread youth, in manhood, in old age. The story of Hall, the memories of Copperfield, little Nell, Mrs. Toots, Captain Cuttle, and many more will long continue to delight the youth of the English speaking races. But few writers are remembered keenly by certain characters, certain scenes, incidental Whimsies, and so little entire novels treated strictly as works of art. There is no reason whatever for pretending that all these scores of tales are all to compared with the best of them, or that the invention of some scenes and characters is enough to make a supreme and faultless art- Tho young and the uncritical make too much of Charles Dickens when they fail to distinguish between his best and his worst. Their fas- seniors make too little of him when they note his many short- comings and fail to see that in elements of humor ho has no equal and no rival. If we mean Charles Dickens to live we must fix our eye on these supreme gifts alone.

Fudges are chocolates, and they are simply the most delicious edibles ever manufactured by a set of sweetmeat-loving girls. Their origin is wrapped in mystery. We only know that their recipe is handed down from year to year by old students to new, and that they belong peculiarly to make them take two cups of sugar, one cup of milk, a piece of butter one-half the size of an egg, and a of vanilla extract. The mixture is cooked until it be- gins to get grimy. Then it is taken from the fire, stirred briskly and turned into buttered tins. Before it hardens it is cut into squares. You may eat the fudge either cold or hot; it is good either way. It never tastes so delicious, however, as when made at college over a sputter- gas lamp in the seclusion of your own apartment.

The first John Walter founded the paper in 1788, but it was not he, but his son who really won its success. The sec- John Walter inherited the paper in 1810, and kept it until 1847. At that time, when the third Walter came into the property, the famous John Delano was its editor, and the owner had only a limited influence in the political management of the paper until Delano let no. After that Mr. Walter was the responsible head of the Times, and as such had to shoulder the blame and pocket the loss of the lucky attack on Parnell.

Reputable Newspaper Men Never ray Ferrets That tome to the About th of Journalism. Probably few individuals have more private matters in confidence to them than newspaper reporters. In the gathering of news, says the Rome Sentinel, many a fact is given in confidence to re- porters which nothing should in- duce them to publish, but which is freely made known to them person- ally in order that they may fully understand a subject and be en- to intelligently give to the public so much of it as is proper. Our public men and others recognize this fact and they know that their confidences, when worthily bestowed, are never betrayed by reputable newspaper reporters. Every newspaper man knows many family affairs and how many private business affairs are sacredly guarded by reporters, though the general public probably Is not. aware of it. There is hardly a newspaper proprietor in the land who would not quickly dispense with the ices of an who should betray such confidence re- posed In him when he was pursuing the task of news gathering. The reporter who cannot be honest about those finds many av- for news closed to him. Ho would be disgraced to an extent which can probably be better by those who have had ex- with newspaper business, but which can also be at least par- appreciated by those who have not had such experience and are not versed In the of the The ethics of the journalistic world regard it as an inexcusable crime to give publicity to matters In violation of agreement, and it is not regarded as at all necessary to have the agreement in black and white in order that its meaning may be understood. It is, in all reason, bad enough for a newspaper to break faith merit the loss of public confidence, even when what it report Is true. But when, in addition to breaking faith, a paper, in ignorance of what it is attempting to describe, f facts out of all semblance weir original selves, does as much Injury to the private interests of the very persons who trusted it paper's circulation and permit, and besides treats the public to a gen- fake, then the performance is without record been con- in any code of honor or In A SOCIETY He Had the Title But Her Mother Had the Money. the.

Washington has had a first-class sensation recently in the domestic complications of a French count of good family, who married a rich girl, whose rich and widowed mother continued to reside here and was prominent in society. The mother-in law agreed to give the count, a handsome allowance, but she was not trilling to pay thirty thousand worth of his debts in Paris. As the count pathetically knows she wanted for a son-in-law, and now she has gut me she doesn't want to keep Unfortunately all this is true; but like most mothers win- desire titled husbands for their daughters the lady soon tired of tin bargain.
