'mi ii .1 »■'m — i About Cdttoro, EVwry editor loves to hnvo his friends trad particularly his readers, call ou him They belong to the same family, as it t wfegn“7wf «aH to- rm the itors, don't stay too long. Editors are generally very busy in business hours If yok bare a suggestion to make, or uews to eommunicate, state it in the few* eat words possible. Don’t offer any ex ease, or indulge in a long preface to vrbat you have to say. Blurt it right out; tell the editor you wish him well, and bid him good day. Editors dote ou such tnea as that; they lovo to receive calls from them. Don’t argue with them, don't try to do- it. They have no time for argument whiloat work. When you write to an editor for publi cation, make it short—boil it down. Pitch right into the middle of your sub ject, and be sure to stop whea you are through. Editors always like MBaething fresh and original in the way of commu nication, and arc especially fond of news. But the editor must always be the judge of what is worthy of publication. Of course, every writer thiuks his own pub lication tho best, just as every mother thinks-her baby the prettiest that was ever born. But the editor may bo so stu pid as to have a different opinion. If so, it can’t be helped. Don’t try to argue him out of his notion, if he is too stupid to remedy his dullness. You may think you are a groat deal smarter tlian the ed itor, and this may be true; but the editor may be responsible, and you are not. There is no class of people who are so anxious to please u majority of people as editors are. There is no class so cov etous of the good opinion of others. It is well to remomber that fact. The Health of Printers. In the course of a lecture on the 4 4 Ef- fbets of Occupation upon Health,” recent ly 'delivered at Lcipsic by Dr. Heubner ho drew attention to the frequency of lead-poisouing among typefounders, com positors and pressmen. In Leipsic it self, tlw great metropolis of the German book trade, seventy-seven per cent, of all who are thus affected belong to the trade enumerated. Typefounders arc poisoned by inhaling tho fumes of the metal, while compositors am] pressmen inhale minute particles of tbs came material. Fraught with sdfl greater danger is, however, the frequent practico of compositors of bring hg their type stained hands in contact with their lips, or keeping eatablce in Composing rooms, etc. The groat pre ventives against all suoh chronic poison ing are cleanlineas, both of person and in the work-room, sod ample ventilation by tho frequent opening of windows, etc. As regards lung diseases, too, printers compare favorably w th most other trades, the proportion of dcatlis from this eause being exceptionally large. The one safeguard against this danger also is ven tilation, which, as we all know, is sadly tiegtycted in printing-offices generally by reason of the almost universal dread of draughts. A flfearp Twice. You often hear the remark made by some aggrieved person— W I did not so much mind the words themselves as the tone in which they were spoken.” And it is true that a harsh voice is ag gressive in itself. A sharp tone soon be comes habitual. One must start in youth and bo on the watch night and day, at work and play, to get aijd keep a voice that shall speak at all-times the thoughts of a kind heart. It is in youth that a harsh voice is formed—a vote© that conveys ill will rather than utters it. Some people have a sharp voice f^r use, and keep their best voices for those they meet elsewhere, just as they would save their best cake and pies for guests, and all their sour food for thoir own board. I would say to- you— “Use your guest voice at home—Watch it day by dgy, for it ii» a pearl of great priced’ Foolish everyday questions—asking tho cgg-scller, “are they fresh ?’’ ‘ In quiring of your friend Smith as to what the weather is going to be id the future, certain or definite; demanding “what’s the news?” with the expectation of get ting any other answer than ;, o-o-h, noth ing." Hailing Tom, Dick and Har ry with, “ How d’ye do?” “How are you ?” as though you cared a coot how they did or bow they were. An exchange tells of an old fanner wb6, hawing eaten an oyster stew for the first time, said, **1 liked the soup pret tj well, but I didn’t like them polly wogs.” This recalls the story of tho hoosier who lunched with Gen. Jackson, and had, among other things, champaign and olives. “ General,” he said, slap ping the old hero on the back, 44 1 like your cider, bat d—m your pickles.” May he “she- teurpeoi the jrind Co the shorn Iamb” not overlook the poor wo man who is married to a man who won’t subscribe for his oounty paper. Shs is truly one sot to be forgotten. HOTCH POTCH A pcrpettml-motion watching machine —A mother with manwgesble daigh-r ters. "Mrs. ftifaTi ,f Tf. Hale, who 'for half a century wan editress of Qodoy’s lady’s Book, died in Philadelphia on Wednes day evening. 4 - ■■ -There is talk that John Sherman will run for Governor of Ohio, and if he wins he expects to bo the Repub lican candidate for the Presidency. It is enough to make an old bachelor go crazy to see tho pretty girls skip along tho streets, with their spring dresses and Pinafore hats, os gaily as a lot of lambs on a green pasture. Three negro women and one child wore poisoned near Savannah, Ga , last Sat urday night. Two of the women have died, and the other woman and child arc not expected to live. A negro woman has been arrested or, suspicion of giving the poison - Prettt Stoiu Aijolt a Dotk.— For tho past week a beautiful white dove, of the tumbler variety, has follow ed Conductor Smith's freight train, on the Old Colony Railroad, daily from Walpole to a certain spot in Medfield, where it alights on a particular barn, re appearing next day at the same place in Walpole. During a part of tbe way the dove flies just back of the cab under the pillar of smoke and wrthjp a fow feet of the engineer, and a part of the way be side the engineer's window, and within two feet of hia hand as he stretches vl toward her. Occasionally she falls back to the rear of the train, as if surveying it, but only to resume her wonted place a mo ment later. The engineer has tried sev eral times to run away from the bird by putting on extra steam, but to no pur pose, as she seems to have tbe wings of tho wind. When the train passes under a bridge the dove mounts gracefully above it, and tumbles immediately to its place again on the other side. Mr. War ren Cutting, the engineer, seems to be tho favorite of this Boston Advertiser. strange Visitant.- rpiE WEEKLY NEWS THE WEEKLY NEWS THE WEEKLY NEWS CONTAINS CONTAINS CONTAINS LIVE EDITORIALS.!
