A GOOD EDITOR
good editor, first of
all,
should be a limitless reservoir for
receiving advice, yet receive it as
the ocean takes its rivers, and still
retain his own saline, individual
flavor. He should aim to be un
derstood rather than admired, and
should desire a reputation for
sense rather than philosopy. Wis
dom is doubtless desirable, but
effects its purpose quicker when
clothed in the garb of wit.
He should know how to say
things. An editor must be a word
artist, a cunning moulder of phras
es. He must be gothic and not
classic in his word structures, with
sharp cornices and freizes, with
jagged aud unsuspected towers.
He must be interesting or be con
tent with a small subscription list.
A reader enjoys a shock better
than a soporofic ; and it is a uice
question for ethics to settle wheth
er it is not better to intoxicate than
to drug a man. The American
| people read too much, and over
j readers, like over-eaters, require
much spice, pepper and condi
ment.
An editor should possess a
superficial knowledge of all things,
and should be ah)* to use that
knowledge at all times, without a
moment’s warning and without
special effort. His pen should
transcribe the image of his
thought as quick as the sun casts a
shadow. Rapidly is his golden
virtue. The firstling of his heart
must be the firstling of his hand ;

and he has no time to transform
his thoughts in the alchemy of re
flection. Lack of time must be
his spur aud the cry for “copy”

healthy as au immortal god.
When the tongue of trade is
coated, when the eyes and limbs
of the clerk are dull and languid,
when the raging fever tackles the
empty vitals of till, when the spi

chandeliers, it is conclusive that
the advertising doctor has not been

This 7th day of October 1907.
A woodpecker sat ou a knotty
limb; his head was red and his
temper grim; for the world was
out of whack with him. He had
hammered the stumps till his head
did swim; he had looked for
worms till his eyes were dim ; he
had punched each tree and kuo
and limb, and darn the bug there
was for him. Not a song he sung,
not a woodland hymn, for how
can a bird with hunger slim, and
gaunt starvation grew-some grim
looking right into the eyes of him,
get up a voice like a cherubim, ami
with melody make the welkin
swim? His crop was vacant, and
only a whim, was in the stomach
of him. Then he flew to the river
and drowned him, and never made
an effort to swim. His last words
were “Oh birdie trim, why did
yon vote for that hawk so prim,
who got to work on each wood
land limb, and placed a trust on
the bugs of thimt I’m like the
fanner gaunt and grim, who gets
surrounded by a rim of trusts that
fill him to the brim with wind till
there’s naught in the stomach of
him.” The woodpecker then was
out of breath, and the fish that ate
t him starved to death.—Ex.
TALKING AT SEA.
Tiro Oiwan Liner* Crooolnu In Op
poolte Direction* Cm the
Wlrelew Method.
The marvels of wireless telegraphy
are great enough to render a recent
use of the system not sufficiently won
derful to be extraordinary, perhaps,
yet the incident reported by Cham
bers’ Journal is one which appeals to
the imagination.
Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and
the Campania, were crossing the At
lantic in opposite directions. Each,
knowing the date of the other’s sail
ing, could make a calculation as to
the hour when they would most likely
meet When the hour came the vessels
were too far apart to sight each other.
Presently, however, the warning bell
of the wireless telegraphic apparatus
in the Campania tinkled, and the mes
sage was spelled out: “Are you there?
—Lucania.” And then the two vessels,
still invisible to each other, and, as it
was found, 36 miles apart, talked for
some hours, exchanging experiences
as to the weather, and finally parting
with the word “good-by” when they
were 140 miles asunder.
Such a conversation carried on be
tween vessels in the open ocean, sep
arated by such a vast stretch of wa
ter and out of sight of each other, is
an impressive illustration of what
wireless telegraphy means.
KILLING OF THE CHINCHILLA.
For Dealer* In This Country Are
Deeply Interested In It* Denser
of Extermination. ,
Fur dealers are much interested in
the news from Chili that the chin
chilla has almost been exterminated
by fur hunters and that stringent
measures will have to be applied to
prevent the extinction of the animal
there. In spite of laws for its pro
tection in Bolivia, the chinchilla has
almost entirely disappeared from
that republic, and furriers fear that
it may disappear in Chili as well, re
ports the New York Sun.
According to customs reports the
number of the animals killed in Chili
has increased greatly in recent years.
The number of chinchilla pelts ex
ported in 1900 was 695,300, more than
double the exports of 1898.
A scientific society in Chill has al
ready drafted a law forbidding the
hunting of the chinchilla for four or
five years in certain regions, and al
lowing hunting elsewhere for only
half the year. It also forbids the use
of firearms, dogs, fire and, in fact,
everything except traps.
The fur dealers expect that the
law will be enacted and predict that
the price of chinchilla fur will soon
be very much higher.
Moscow’* Import*.
The principal articles Imported Into
Moscow are mechanical and agricultural
machinery, hardware and cutlery, cot
ton, raw copper, oash registers, type
writers, office furniture, bicycles, etc.

If the sun were hollow It could hold
600,000 globes the else of our earth, and
an eye capable of viewing 10,000 miles an
hour would require 66,000 yeara to see
ail its surface.
