"My first assignment," wild an old importer, "was to find out whether somebody was in town, or something of that sort. I 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 that day. For the rest of the day I sat around the office and looked on with an infatuation that has never decreased. 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 laborers had been washed overboard from the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, coming up the bay in tow of the tug So-andso. "What I was to do was to get the facts about the occurrence and write them. "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. The names of the consignees were in the two lines of ship news, and aimply by looking in the directory I found their office without the slightest trouble. There I learned where the cargo was tied up. It was at a wharf in Hoboken or Weehawken, I don't remember which, and T 4-Ur,*- T 4- U a xuauo lur tuuu. iiucu x uuxuou iiuuj lua street down the wharf, there she was, tied up alongside, her name on the wheelhouse. She was about half unloaded, and men were still at work carrying off the ore. "I was not altogether without experience In life, but I had never done anything that gave me quite Vibe satisfaction that it did to find that ore barge in my first actual 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 stringpieoe of the wharf and talked with the captain of the boat. He told the story with entire willingness. Of course there was no reason why he shouldn't, and then I went baok to the office and wrote ? it up. It was not a great story. I knew that. It was like thousands of stories that the newspapers are sending after all the time, of the manifold daily occurrence of life, but 1 mast put it together in good shape, get in all the faots and put the story in the smallest space. "In the morning I went out and got a 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, B my gracious, I couldn't find it all! I thought they must have left it out altogether, but when 1 came to look the paper over again 1 found it?a scant stickful, vrith a single line bead. t. "But when I came to read It over 1 j8 found that the facts were all there. They had simply been brought closer together by a method of condensation far more j\oute than mine and had then beeli set in agate type."?New York Sun. Importance of Regular Living. A question has lately arisen as to the Increase or the reverso in nervous diseases, some arguing that the cause of the supposed inorease in suoh nervous diseases lies : in the Increased demand made by the conditions of modern life upon the brain. It Is quite true that the conditions of life are very different nowadays from what they were a fow years ago. We now live in a high pressure age, and in one of keen competition, when greater effort is needed in every branch of life to attain a successful position, when the brain is always working and there is constant tension. Suoh conditions, it will be perfectly obvious to all, are not favorable to a diminution of nervy ous diseases, but rather the reverse. At the same time, It cannot be denied that a 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 oaprlce and impulse. The adoption of hygienio habits saves the nervous system an enormous amount of friotlon and waste. _ It preserves vitality. Regularity economizes not only physical stamina, but time e as well. The man who knows no system In the details of his life, who exhausts na3 ture at the instance of a passing whim'i ? who drinks and smokes to excess, who d wastes the talents bestowed upon him, to the one who must sooner or later fall a vlo3 tlm to disease. Regularity and modera0 tion In all things sbould be the motto of ' life, and it should be remembered thatr 3 regularity does not necessarily preolude the 'f enjoyment of variety. A certain amount !* of variety prevents man from becoming a mere machine, but variety sbould notin? teifere with those regular habits of life e which are necessary to the maintenance of - health.?New York Ledger. r A Puzzled Author. The San Franoisco Argonaut tells an 1 amusing story about Alphonse Daudet. 1 When he brought out "Sappho," an American publishing house that issues religious ? books, not knowing its charaoter, offered e M. Daudet a large sum for advance sheet* of the work. He accepted the offer, and s the advance sheets were sent. When the - publishers received them, tbey deolded that they could not issue the book, and they 9 cabled to the author, " 'Sappho' will not do.' This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He n/inenlfoH nrlfk tmmhora nf fHonHfl. ATld t this was the conclusion at wbiob they - evontually arrived: "Sappho" in French J Is spelled with one "p"?"Sapho," after the Greek fashion. In English it is spelled , with two. An unusually acute friend t pointed this out to Daudet, wbioh muoh . relieved the Dovelist, and he oabled back > to the publishers, "Spell it with two p'e." 4 It is needless to state that the publishers j were more astonished at Daudet's reply 4 than ho had been at their cable dispatch. Japanese Journalism. "Japanese journalism," says a mlssiou, ary'a wife, "is a singular profession in . many of its features. There is p?otically > no such thing as freedom of the press In I Japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes something unfriendly to the government . it is suppressed and the editor is sent to ' > prison. The real editor is never imprisoned, though. Every newspaper has what the Japanese coll a 'dummy editor,'and it . is his sole duty to go to jail every time the paper is suppressed for offending the | mikado. Then the real editor changes the . name of the paper and keeps on publishing it.

The movement in behalf of goodiroada in this and other states and the obstacles it is called npon to overcome are strongly suggestive of the readiness with which we are apt to accept the greatest facilities in commnnication as Blatter of course? if indeed we do not quickly come to regard their usefulness with indifference, says the New York Mail and Express. Too many men are controlled by a single idea. They abandon interest in highways because thej have canals, or they abandon interest in canals because of railway development, and some day they will vote railways a nuisance because of a perfected flying machine. They fail to appreciate the value of maintaining the best in any and every form of human communication that is worth maintaining at all. Upon the perfection of every means of communication and transportation resid our progress towara mgner civilization and social development As barbarism is invariably characterized by a lack of adequate facilities for travel and commercial intercourse, so the highest civilization is marked by the greatest advancement in every phase of these. When the Roman empire was at the height of its grandeur, it was distinguished for its roads, which all led to Rome. In strong contrast with this early civilization was the comparative barbarism of tbe middle ages, when the feudal barons pei.... 1 their castles upon inaccessible heigL. >?hen roads and bridges were almost unknown, when wheeled vehicles were generally tabooed, when social and mental progress were stagnant and all commerce and reciprooal aotivity were halted. To the friction of ready intercourse all progress is due. As steam and electricity make a neighborhood of a nation, so improved highways ?the first evidences of civilization, because the earliest demonstration ol man's desire for easy intercourse with his neighbor?will ever remain the test of progress in the separate communities that go to make up the state. A ftonoroHnn haTi/Hi f ha Mxnn nnnnh; which has not the most improved highways known to science will be the town or county wher? the moral and mental Btandard is lowest. The sign will be unerring. HIGHWAYS TO WEALTH. Farmers Prosperous In Communities Having Good Roods. Good roads are the highways to wealth. If I could take you with me north, south, east and west, to where the beginnings of road improvement have been made, I could show you small farming communities growing rich in these hard times, contented and happy, and troubling themselves not at all with the great problems of finance which agitate their brethren. They have no time to was te in talk. If their fields are too wet to work, they go oh the road. Their marketing is done in bad weather, and in rainy spelis they bring from a distance oheap fertilizers to enrich their farms, such lis marl, city refuse, etc. Philadelphia refuse is carried 20 miles on the stone roads. In these fortunate communities every day brings its earnings to man and beast, for there' is always paying work on a good road, and if 4 man has no hauling of his own to do he can get work from others, and good wages. Extend these conditions and imagine, if you can, the prosperity that would burst upon the country if every fanner and every farm team could earn a fair day's wages for every day in the year, rain or shine; if every farm could be oulti* vated and improved to its utmost extent.?Address by General Roy Stone. FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS. The Value of Faim Land Is Determined by Its Accessibility. The farmers would be more benefited bv eood road3 than any other class. The value of a farm is determined by its accessibility. The land that is favored with best transportation facilities) whether by rail or river, will bring the best price per acre when put upon the market. There is no doubt that one mile of good macadamized road is more valuable in this country than five miles of plow and scraper road that goes to pieces in one year. The taming over of soil is labor in vain, and we do not censure the farmex when ordered to work on the tjads when he either takes a pitchfork or a hoe or, if he is rheumatic, a mattress. One mile of good roads made each year 1 would be more beneficial than all the j work done in a township. In the near future there will be some device found . that will enable our farmers to make ' good roads at a small cost?Jamestown (Pa.) World. j California's Wide Tire Law. 1 California's new tire law requires that tires should be from three to six inches wide, according to size of axle ' or carrying capacity. Wagons with smaller tires may not be sold or used . within the state after Jan. 1, 1900. Narrow tires are the most destructive influences that are at work upon the roads. A broad tire, made in proportion to the load to be carried, may leave a road better for its passage, where a narrow tire cuts it into ruts. It would have been a further improvement had the legislature ordered that the hind wheels should run inside the track of the front wheels of the wagon. Where wheels trail each other in the same track the tendency to cut ruts is much greater. If the wheels were set in different lengths of axle, six inch tires would give the effect of a one foot roller on each side of the wagon. Road Briefs. A good road is a public joy. The better the road is drained, the easier it is maintained. Reform the roads and reform the people. - i ?
