The editor of today lias to get
his nose down to the grind stone
and keep it there sixteen hours
per day and 365 days in the year,
or he falls by the wayside. There
are men who quit work Saturday
night and rest until Monday morn
ing. They lay aside business
cares at 5 or 6 o’clock every eve
ning and do not resume them un
til 7 or 8 the next morning. Not
so your editor. He has no elegant
leisure. He knows no hours, no
Sunday, no night. When he goes
to a party, or to church, or on an
alleged pleasure trip, it is all in
the line of duty. Withal, your
editor man is a cheerful, long
suffering soul, going about doing
good in his humble way. He re

turns good for evil. He writes
long puffs of church sociables, and
in return therefor, accepts a chunk
of cake that would sink an iron
clad. He notes the arrival of all
the babies in his neighborhood and
eternally perjures his soul in tell
ing how pretty they are. He re
joices with the gay and mourns
with those who are sad. He
booms every enterprise which
makes his community rich and
goes about himself clothed in gun
ny sack coats and one suspender.
He glories over the fortune of his
neighbor, and meekly eats his own
repast of boiled corn cobs and col
ored labels off tomato cans. He
can write a sermon, an account of
a prize fight, a political speech,
an obituary notice, poetry, split
wood, pitch hay, wash dishes,
preside at a camp meeting, curry
horses, quote law or gospel, or
anything else at a moments notice.
Very few people comparatively
have any adequate idea of the im
mense cost of producing a modern
daily newspaper, particularly in
the large cities of the country.
Some authentic figures on the sub
ject have recently been made pub
lic and will doubtless occasion sur
prise to the uninformed. The
“composition” (printers' weekly
pay roll) for instance on the Bal
timore American is $2,000; on the
Boston Globe,$4,000; on the Globe
Democrat, $3,000; on the New
York Herald, $4,000; and other
papers in proportion. Bills for
special telegrams are another big
item of expense. On the Chicago
Herald a few years ago they run
to $4,500 per month; St. Louis
Globe Democrat, $12,000; San
Francisco Examiner, $8,000; Bos
ton Herald, $0,000; and St. Louis

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.
Kick.
Keep Kicking.
And don’t quit kicking.
One pull one way and one t’other.
Go to other towns and buy your
goods.
Denounce your merchants be
cause they make a profit on their
goods.
Knife every man that disagrees
with you on the method of increas
ing business.
Make your own town out a very
bad place, and stab it every chance
you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme
for the betterment of the material
interests of the people.
Tell your merchant that you can
buy your goods a great deal cheap
er in another town and charge him
with extortion.
Keep every cent you get, and
don’t do anything of a public na
ture unless you can make some
thing out of it directly.
When you say anything of your
town say it in such a way that it
will leave the impression that you
have no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own, and
then denounce them for not being
as large as the city papers.
The beautiful should exist in the
school life of the child. The
school building and ground should
portray the artistic and beautiful.
Those things which adorn the tas
ty home should embellish the
school property, the lawn, terraces,
walks, trees and flowers. Within
should be neatness and refinement.
A neglected school house is a ter
rible demoralizer. Place a child
at a mutilated desk, put in his
hands torn and soiled books and
we find an almost irresistible
temptation to continue the destruc
tion with knife and pencil. Place
the same child in a neat, clean
room with suitable and beautiful
furniture and we immediately re
move the temptation for destruc
tion.
There are two kinds of girls in
the world, the girl who. works and
the girl who gads. Commend us
to the former. Work lends digni
ty to a pretty girl, and is an add
ed charm to her. The girl who
works, God bless her, combines
the useful and ornamental. She
might gad about, roll on sofas,
gossip and read story books, but
she prefers to be of some account
in the world and goes out stenog
rapher, teacher, saleslady or
house-keeper, bravely makes her
own way. Such are the salt of
the earth and of such is the king
dom of heaven.

One thing can be truthfully said
of the teachers in our school at the
present time, and those employed
for the ensuing year, that their
daily walk and conversation, and
their moral lives are such as to
form a good example for their pu
pils. Our pupils can safely follow
the example of the teacher. “When
the roll is called up yonder” the
teachers of our school can all ans
wer “present.” Good morals and
good manners are taught in our
school and the worthy example
set by our present corps of teachers
has a great influence in moulding
the character of the youth of our
city.

Every little while we read in the
paper that someone has run a rus
ty nail in his foot or other portion
of his body and lockjaw resulted
therefrom and the patient died. If
every person was aware of a per
fect remedy for such wounds and
would apply it, then such reports
would cease. The remedy is
simple, always at hand, can be ap
plied by anyone—what is better,
it is infallible. It is simply to
smoke the wound or any wound
that is braised or inflammed with
a woolen cloth. Twenty minutes
in the smoke will take the pain
out of the worst case of iuflam
mation arising from such a wound.
People may sneer at this remedy
as much as they please, but when
they are afflicted with such
wounds, let them try it.

The habit of indulging in the
use of profane or obscene language
is one of the most nonsensical habits
a human being ever acquired. No
man or youth ever raised himself
in the estimation of saint or sin
ner by the use of foul language.
Purity of thought and speech are
valuable virtues. And yet, its
our honest opinion that the man
who unwittingly “cusses" a little
now and then, is not half so big a
sinner as the fellow who continous
ly thinks evil and speaks evil of
his neighbors, and Refuses to pay
his honest debts upon the theory
that “Jesus paid it all, all the
debt I owe.” If the pulpits of
the land would “go after” the fel
lows who refuse to pay their hon
est debts and to love their wives
and their fellowmen—“go after”
them as vigorously as they go af
ter the fellows who “cuss and
chew tobacco,” the true reforma
tion of the race might be nearer at
hand.
Men who contribute money to
buy votes and to bribe the people’s
representatives, as well as those
who disburse it, are deadly ene
mies of the republic. Their greed
and love of power are greater than
their love of country. They
impair popular respect for law,
which is the only safeguard for
life and property: and it will be
an evil day for the nation when its
preservation depends upon their
patriotism and courage. They
may masquerade in the garb of
righteousuess, and address, the peo

Young people should acquire
the habit of correct speaking and
writing, aud abandon, as early as
possible, any use of slang words
and phrases. The longer you put
this off, the more difficult the
acquirement of correct language
will be j and if the golden age of
youth, the proper season for the
acquisition of language, be passed
in its abuse, the unfortunate vic
tim will most probably be doomed
to talk slang for life. You have
merely to use the language which
you read, instead of the slang you
hear to form a taste in agreement
with the speakers and poets in the
country.
