I for Asumr !Wc4. m&aft 'CfcaUBudMo, !"i A NOVEL INSTITUTION. A PLACE WHERE LONDONERS GO FOR INFORMATION OF ALL KINDS. An Office of Uulrerwl Information for the Publics-Simp- le System of Anware-xnent-Curlo- us faeries Received from Widely Different Source. "Nothing is so easy as the invention of yesterday," is a truism of particular force when brought in connection with the univer- sal kno w ledge and information office situated in Southampton street, Bloomsbury, which iU probably be best known to the our readers from the sight of elongated persona with lugubrious faces, dressed in coats reach- ing to thsir feet, and carrying a lightly made desk, wal'ang along the main thoroughfares for all the world like a series of new and re-- v ised editons "of the Wandering Jew. These men are perambulating branch offices of the central information office, and any question given to them in writing will be forwarded ts headquarters and replied to without loss of time. The history of this remarkable in- stitution is brief but curious, sinco it differs from all siiular undertakings in the fact that it is neither a commercial concern nor a money speculation. The establishment of a universal knowledge and information office is entirely due to Lord Truro, who started the office with the double object of benefiting the public and prov idiug a new opening for the employment of women. "It was my idea." said the founder of the bureau in th course of an interview we had with him on a recent occasion, "to found a central office, where anj person could have auy question answered without delay, where researched into literature, science an. I art could be con- ducted, where all languages could be written or trnnsosed, calculations be made, and statistics be kept always available." Such an institution is now in a flourishing state of existence and its work is us various as it is interesting. . A SIUrl.K SYSTEM. The system of arrangement is simple. have been appointed in every town of iniortauce throughout the world. Its iuteror working is di ided into depart- ments, each comprising a range of subjects, from agriculture to Hindoostani and from literature to engineering. A large staff, comprising over thirty persons, is kept on the premises, and among them are linguists capable of writing and translating every tongue from Welsh to Japanese aud from. Portuguese to Greek. One is a practical chemist, another an engineer, while among the rest are artists, designers, ladies well up in the various kinds of tine work. taiestry, etc., and gentlemen of liberal education and literary knowledge for general research. Beside theae some 200 others are employed on various errands. A large staff is kept making researches at the British museum, another at the Guildhall library. In short, there is no branch of knowledge, language or subject on which immediate information cannot be given, providing it is not a ques- tion requiring lengthy research. There are, However, two things which the office will not do, and about these Lord Truro, who, by the way, personally superintends the bureau every day, is very particular. The first relates to questions of a detective or in- quisitorial character; the second rule lays down that the office shall not interfei-- e with any of the professions. The arrangements in Southampton street are admirable, but although established only in January, 1884, the work has outgrown the space allotted to it and larger premises will luarc to be shortly- - sought. Several hundred letters are received every morning and more continue to pour in throughout the day. Every letter is at onco attended to and put into the hands of a lady or gentleman in whose department the inquiry may be. The questions are next registered in a book and the answer when sent is also recorded. Some of these queries are exceedingly curious and give an interesting insight into the bent of people's minds. They comprise every subject, known or unknown languages to be translated into English and back again and we may here note that a very large number of queries come from abroad. The payment for these foreign questions is gener- ally made in money or stamps of the country from which the letters come, and in this way Lord Truro has acquired a large and curious collection of foreign money and stamps. Among those we saw were Rus- sian rubles, Roumanian 20 lei pieces, Ital- ian lire, German gulden, American notes and Spanish dollars, to say nothing of ru pees and postage stamps galore. THREE CLASSES OF QUESTIONS. The questions received in Southampton street may be divided into three classes the ordinary, the curious and the ridiculous, though the last mentioned comprise but a small minority. Queries respecting hair dyes, noe machines, quack medicines, etc., are, of course, in the ascendant, but of a more thoughtful kind are those such as that put by an inquirer wanting to know: "How can you tell the difference between a blow and a fall, judging from the effects only1" Another inquiring mind asks for the address of "the headuarters of "the Mormons." Others demand a list of the different appointment in the gift of the government for which no examination is re- quired, the first mention of the inebdi, and where it occurs, why St. James is the patron saint of Cupar-Fif- e and fourteen or fifteen names of men who deal in cotton waste hi Spain. One correspondent writes from Japan to learn "the French for opium caste," and another from Worcester asks "Who is in possession of two estates in Santa Cruz." It is the ladies, however, who distinguish themselves the most, and their queries are as various as they are instructive. A num- ber liave sent for correct costumes for fancy dress balls, one even requiring that of the Queen of Sheba, a request which was met with a water color sketch of the dame ill queston correctly costumed. Two different ladies in different towns have asked for recipes for preventing blushing, a somewhat startling fact: indeed, we could have mora easily understood a prayer for the secret of an imitation article "Where," asks one damsel, "can information be obtained as to the falsetto singing practiced in the Alps," and "what," writes another fair maid, "is the antidote for the poison of a flea' ' The re- quest for a recipe for an ink that will vanish after it has been on paper eight or ten days can be easily understood and is often re- peated, but what is meant by the petition for "full particulars as to flirtation by post- age stamps" we are at a loss to learn. Leav- ing the fair sex and quoting from the gen- eral questions we cull the following: "Who spoke in the house of commons uninter- ruptedly for twenty-tw- o hours?" "What are the duties of best men at a wedding" "How to enter ladies' society?" "What is the average speed of a fire engine?" "Where can a dumb piano be purchased?" "Is there a copyright between England and Russia?" "Give the names of architects practicing in Copenhagen." "Give addresses of homes for ladies suffering from dipsomania," and "Do Bordeaux pigeons really come from Bordeaux?" The registers from which we have quoted are kept in strict privacy, but were they available they would give a better insight into the workings of the minds of the public than any similar records with which we are Subscribe WITH THE DAILY CHICAGO MAIL, Both Papers One Year, FOB acquainted. The charges made for answer- ing such questions as these vary considerably, from 1 shilling for an ordinary query to sev- eral pounds for researches extending over a icuginy penoa. London Globe. HOW TO GET STRONG. Good Advice for WeaklingsSome of Sir. Blalkle's Maxims. William Blaikie, the author of that much read little volume, "How to Get Strong and How to Stay So," in the course of his lect- ure urged that the education of our bodies was neglected; that we used our muscles, but not wisely. Exercise was necessary, and it should be judicious, well directed and con- stant to be beneficial. To illustrate how deficient many men were who were professional athletes, Mr. Blaikie instanced the case of Edward Hanlan, whom he had had excellent opportunity to observe when referee in the famous boat race at Chautauqua lake, where Courtney's shell was sawed. "Hanlan hai been pulling all his life," said the speaker, "and his pulling muscles were tremendously developed. I doubted if his pushing muscles were so strong; so I asked him to try this little exercise." Here Mr. Blaikie brought forward a couple of chairs, placed himself between them, his hands ou the top of the chair backs and did the "dipping" exercise which was practiced so much by the late William Cullen Bryant. 'I did this exercise five or six times," con- tinued the lecturer, "and then asked Hanlan to try. How many times do you suppose that big, mucular oarsman did it? He got down on his knees between the chairs and there he stuck. 'Get up,' said I. 'I can't,' says he. 'Try hard, ' I urged. 'I am trying as hard as 1 can,' he protested. Think of that for the then champion oarsman of America." Mr. Blaikie then passed to n review of men and women who were celebrated for thuir great achievements, attributing much of their superiority to their physical strength an endurance. Following are some of Mr. Blaikle's maxims: One way to derive tienefit from exercise is to know how to rest. Fight shy of shower baths; they shock the heart. What is the good of superfluous flesh? In short, what is the good of anything sujer-fluous- ? Breathe through your nose when running, and always run on your toes. A runner's heels should never touch the ground. Bicycling is a good exercise until you come to racing. Deep breathing will save 3011 from many lung troubles and build up your chest. Six hours of mental work, or eight at most, is enough for one da'. Overwork in a gymnasium is dangerous. Serious Times. A Great City's Dead Animals. "What becomes of the dead animals in a large city?" asked an official in the health office yesterday. "I can tell you what be- comes of those we have to deal with. They are shipped to a rendering establishment thirty miles south of the city, where they are skinned, cooked, dried and ground up into guano. These works are located in a sort of wilderness just over the Indiana line. The place is called Globe station, but with the exception of the huge building in which the rendering is done there is not a structure for miles around. No passenger trains run past this immense animal crematory for the reason that the stench hanging around the neigh- borhood would nauseate an ordinary person. The dead nnimals reach the works late at night. Upon their arrival a nan goes around yanking off the shoes on the horses' feet and cutting off their tails and manes. The dogs, cows, cats and horses are then taken to the steaming room, where the frost is taken out of them, after which they are skinned. The meat is taken off their bones and cast into a great vat, where it is boiled to a pulp. From the vat the meat is taken to a drying room, where it soon hardens. It is then ground up and sold as one brand of guano. There is nothing about a dead ani- mal that is not turned to profit. The skin of the horses is sold for saddle coverings and boot leggings, while the larger bones of the noble animd are purchased by manufactur- ers of cutlery. The manes go to the shoe- makers and the long, glossy tails are made up into livery stable switches. The small bones of all ntmh are ground up into fer- tilizing material, which is preferred to either blood or meat guano for the reason that it contains more lime. "It costs the city $7,500 a year to dispose of its dead animals. The owners of the beasts receive no money for the 'stiffs,' as they become the property of the city the mo- ment they are removed from the buildings in whi h they died." Chicago Herald. Four Cylinders to m Locomotive. ''Thew ie n revolution imnendinir in the construction of locomotives," said a railroad engineer the other day, "and the improve- ment, I understand, is due to the success of the triple expansion engines on ocean steam- ers. Not that compound engines are to be used for locomotives, but if a number of cylinders aggregating the same power will save coal on an ocean steamer why not on a locomotive. The fact that the present sys- tem is not the best has been well known for a long time. The transmission of power through the connecting rods to the two drivers is an uneconomcial way at best, and when in going around curves the wheels are not able to turn in unison one or the other must slip so long as they are rigidly con- nected. "Now it is proposed to use four cylinders instead of two, one pair for each set of drivers. The aggregate power of the four is equall to that of the two now used, but it was found in a series of experiments made at Woolwich arsenal in Euglaudby the British war office that the power used to move the locomotive itself was from 30 to 40 per cent, less with four cylinders than with two. The experiments were made with an old two cylinder locomotive altered to use four cylin- ders. Of course the results were not equal to those that could be obtained with a mnfhiri tnsde to order. The comimr loco motive will have a pair of cylidners for each driving wheel axle." New York Sun. The Bine Catfish as Game. All my life I have taken great delight in fishing, and have had the pleasure of landing many of the game fishes of our waters. Among those which have furnished the most sport is the blue or channel cat.' Of all the fish that I ever booked it makes the hardest fight for its life. It differs from them in that they, when struck, leap out of the water and rush through it with their mouths open, thus making it much easier to conquer and land them; while the catfish takes the hook in its mouth and starts for the bottom of the stream or lake with a vim that will test the tackle of the bsst expert. I have had more real sport with it than with any other fidt T aver tackled. It is full of flzht from the strike to the landing net, and requires longer to bring it to land than any other of its weight. Forest and Stream. A Commendable Art. It is proposed to the government to an- nounce the coming of storms by firing can- non. The idea seems commendable. Each signal cannon should be loaded with a weather prophet.

Hie Early but Iuuoccut Kxperleiu-- with a Forged Check Silent Amazement. "Do you know," said a prominent mem- ber of the bar the other day, as he witched Senator William Maxwell EvarLs sauntering along past St. Mark's chun-hyard- . -- that tho senator's first large lee a a lawyer didn't do him a bit of pecuniary benefit?" The reporter didn't know it. "Well, it's rather a good story,'' the law- yer said, "and a few lawyers evu remem- ber it, it can be told without any fear of the chestnut annunciator. Tho incident oc- curred in 1S42, when Evarts was only 24 years old anil a slim young lawyer with an old fashioned choker collar and his inter- rogative forefinger just beginning to bo n noticeable part of his pract ice. He was then a criminal practitioner and giving gliinpse3 of that ieculiar mastery of sentences of all sizes which has kept pace with the effective use of the forefinger. "Monroe Eduurds, a very skillful ami con- scienceless penman, had forged a check, got caught and hired young Evarts to savo him from Sing Sing. The trial wuia on Juno 0, and lasted six days. The future senator stubbed at witness after witness with his deadly forefinger interrogatories and finally appealed to tho jury for his client's ac- quittal. It was a marvelous spvch, full of the fire and impetuosity of youthful enthu- siasm. It was the talk of the courts for months, and undoubtedly laid the basis of William Maxwell's fame as an advocate. But the jury freed itself from the glittering heap of brilliant sen teni-c- s that youiu; Evnrts piled up on them and found Edwards guilty. The judge complimented Evarts, and then sent his client to Sing Sing for ten years. The prisoner complimented Evarts on his eloquence, too, and just before he walked into the sheriff's carriage to go to tho Sing Sing train gave the tall young advocate a neat check bearing the signature of a well known man. It was for several hundred dollars, and William Maxwell went proudly to tho bank with it aftor ho had bade his client good-b- y. " 'No good." said the bank cashier when Evarts lianded it up for deposit. " 'Why?' cried young William Maxwell, in amazement. " 'The signature is a forgery, sir,' the cashier responded. "It is related that this was tho only occa- sion in his lifetime that, given a chanco to use some vigorous and impressive sentences, William Maxwell Evarts lot the opportunity slip. He simply stared at the check in silence." New York Sun. An Account nf Social Stock. Take a rapid account of social stock in New York city.

Then thero lies Ward's island, 260 acres, with lunatic asylums for males, and tho Homeopathic hos- pital, nnd 3, 000 inmates. Separated by Hell Gate is Randall's island, with infants' and the Island hospitals, an insane as3'Ium for idiots, a branch of the penitentiary, an insane asylum for tho young, and tho House of Refuge. Then we reach Ricker's island, of sixty acres, exclusively used for coirectional institutions. Still further fifty acres with a hospital for Incurables; a branch workhouse and a lunatic asylum with U,.700 inmates, and the ghastly end of tho procession tho potter's field, 600 acres close along the city, a witness of its tocial losses. Cor. Globe- - ! Democrat. A Queer Superstition. Perhaps the strangest fad that any man has in this town is that of a cashier in a down town bank, who every 'night at 10 o'clock walks up Fifth avenue to Forty-thir- d street for the purpose of seeing whether or not a certain millionaire's front door has crape tied on it. For four years he has made this nightly jouroej'. He doesn' know tho millionaire. He doesn't know any reason why the millionaire's death should be im- minent. Yet he has a superstition that when he discovers the crape he looks for, on that same night some great good fortune is to fall to his own lot. He bus tried to shako off the feeling that sends him on this nightly walk- ing tour. It won't shake. And, rain or shine, he goes religiously up and down the avenue at 10 o'clock every night. ft 1 Au Author's Confession.

THE MEN WHO SPECULATE. Uroken-Dow- n Brokers A Large Num- ber Weak to Begin With. AVhile one sees occasionally a person who bas made money in Wall street and kept it, be more" commonly sees the oldest and strongest habitues down there either poor or diseased. The brokers require to bo perfect- ly sober to keep their heads, and the cus- tomers as well, yet the conditions of specu- lation demand stimulation, and the wildest tilings are done when the head is drunk. You will find the stock exchange and all other exchanges where speculation rages surrounded by drinking houses, and a large proportion of these break in time localise their proprietors and clerks are drawn into the market. A large majority of the men w ho specu- late are weak to begin with. Here and there ou find u hard brained man, without much sensibility, started in life amid rough associations, and to him the stock exchange is rather a mild and society. He has learned to be reticent, not to talk much, not to show either his looses or his gains, and such a one extending his acquaintance may possiLly in time with his equals or supci.urs aud force the quotations according to his bets, for it is all betting in every event.

In the ordinary pursuits of life reckoning day conies every quarter or twice a year, but in Wall street it conies every lay. "It is u rule of the street to follow up margins closely and collect them promptly. The mere sucker who goes down there with a few thousand dollars has but littlo idea of the huge brute strength he may have to en- counter in the very room where hekeejis his uccount.

"Oath" ' in Boston Globe. How Archer Killed Himself. In his early days of riding he was so slight- ly built that he often had to carry as much u two or three stone of dead weight, but 03 age crept' upon him his daily study was to keep bi'low his normal bodily weight of ten stone. To effect this he ltad to go through shocking privations in the way of sweating, starving ami physicing. For the first named purpose he had special Turkish baths built at his private residence while the chief piece of furniture in his library was a pair of veiy sensitive scales. He would exist for a whole day upon a bunch of gapes, or a single piece of dry toast and a glass of champagne. Of this treacherous wine he was particularly fond, but ho woidd touch none but the very best brands. He declared that it kept him alive without in any way Interfering with his weight. It must not, however, be in- ferred that his table was niggardly. On the contrary, it was always supplied in bounti- ful fashion, for he was a grand host. His self denial was marvelous, for when he must have been simply ravenous with hunger, he would preside at his table surrounded by the most tempting viands and j-- merely munch a dry' biscuit or his hard burned toast. When the pangs of hunger got almost past the power of man to resist the temptation to eat, he would adjourn to his library, test his weight 0.1 his trusty scales, shake lus head at the last obstinate pound which re- fused to "come off," and then retire to bed to be out of the way of the savory smell from the kitchen. Nature, however, rebelled against this treatment, and the punishment came suddenly and swiftly. The last straw that broke the camel's back was the attempt to get down to eight stone six pounds to ride St. Miriu in the Cambridgeshire. He felt that it was his last chunee to win that event, aud he had made up his mind to do it at whatever cost. He rodo but did not win. On tho contrary he was u wreck, nerveless and dispirited, and utterly without stamina. In this condition he went to Brighton and Lowes, und sufl'ered exposure on the bleak dow lis in a thin shirt uud silk jacket, with a pair of hunting breeches. The inevitable chill followed and the fever demon seized upon a frame ill prepared to withstand its lavages. London Letter. Tricks or Shoplifters. "We have to keep a pretty sharp lookout for thieves these days, said one of the floor walker of a down town store. "The lifters are up to several new tricks this 3'ear, and, working us they do in the great crowds of buyers, it is a difficult matter to spot them at once. Some of their new games? One of them is to roll a flvo cent piece or some other small coin over the counter so it will fall w here tho saleslady is standing. The latter stoops down to pick up the money for the customer, and while she is doing this the lifter stows away one or two of the artfcles displayed on the counter. Another trick is to approach the jewelry counter with small package, one end of which is smeared with tar or some other sticky substance. The 'lifter' asks to be shown some rings, which he removes from the traj's and distributes about the top of the show case. He drums on the glass with one corner of the sticky end of tho package until a favorable op- portunity presents itself, when he suddenly jabs it down upon u gold band and strolLs away saying as he does so that he will call around ngniu. Those are two of the new tricks. There may be a great many others, but wo haven't got on to them yet." Chi- cago Herald. A KoTel Ballet.

Rut so much had I heard of tho savage humors with which one was liable to bo confronted, should his presence happen to bo ill timed, that I felt like one who carried a free pass to enter a lion's cage, and the certainty that the pass would carry me up when ones delivered made it all the more uncomfortable in my pocket. On the afternoon when 1 had determined to hariird the die I passed and repassed the old Tribune building sevei al times on the opposite side to get my first journalistic wind, for I was scarcely more thau u blushing, shriuking New England boy, who felt constrained in the presence of "great mon' to assume tho uttitude of a toad looking up at St. Peter's. But I finally gathered myself up, and sighting the door of The Tribune office, crossed the street with firm aud steady tread, and soon had my card in the hands of tho office boy, who disappeared with it up stairs. After a few awful moments tiie lad returned and bade me follow. I ascended a couple of flights of rickety stairs and soon reached a door which looked as though it might b9 an entrance to the top loft of a grist mill. I entered, and as the door closed behind me seated myself cautiously upon a dilapidated chair, for the abiding spirit into whose presence I had entered turned not round uor made any sign of recognition. 1 shall never forget the picture of that editorial "den" if that can bo called a picture which is thrown together by the demons of disorder and chaos. Papsrs, IiamphleUi, books, unused copy, old hats and editorial brio-a-bra- o of all descriptions wore scattered about promiscuously. Mr. Grcwloy's traditional gray coat was flung into tho corner, with his slouched bat rest- ing tranquilly upon it. A generous profu- sion of cobwebs und dust forced upon the visitor's attention the conspicuous absence of broom, soap nnd toilet furniture. Verily here was the fitting abode of intellectual Rattlebones the disputed realm of Rhada-manth- and the S.:u god. . The figure, w ho-- ; brawny back was turned toward me. was elevated on an antique chair, tho limbs of which seemed to be hold- ing rivalry with those of its occupant. Be- fore him was a desk nearly as high as his shoulders, on the tide of which was a iot of ink, set in a pile of quills. The iapcr on which he wrote was held at a vertical angle. With his great hand grasped firmly around thn quill, as though it were tho lever that moved tho world, he would thrust it into tho ink pot, and then with a motion projected from a level with the eye ho would swing it across and back on the paper, as though it were a jackplane, till the sheet was full. Whoever saw Horace Gree- ley swing his quill in that weird sanctum witnessed a species of "technique" the liko of which was never seen before in this world and will probably never be seen again. When he had finished the editorial upon which ho was at work he scrambled the sheets together, scribbled out the headline, and calling a boy sent the copyjup to the compositors. Fortunately for me it hap pened to bo his last office work for that day, and now my time had come. After reading over the lady's note, which recom- mended me to his kindest consideration, as a youth of more promise than experience in the literary world, he turned to me, and setting his specs upon his spacious temples, said: "Well, young man." Heavens! thought I, now the rest is com- ing. But that which came did not point westward, but pointed rather, as subsequent experience has since taught, to the best sense within me. "I am in a mood," he continued, "in deference to my dear friend Mrs. W., to give you my very best advice as to the advisa- bility of entering upon journalism a3 a profession, ft you have brains, conscience and independent creative, literary ability, my advice to you is to keep away from the newspapers and work your level best in pa- tience till you can make a point as a maga- zine writer. You have then laid tho corner stone of your record, aud if you sustain it the way is certain for u to bo rated for all you are worth in literature. A news- paper is primarily a commercial enterprise, whose proprietors are engaged in the trade of buying mid selling news and of furnish- ing the various members of rociety with the means of making known to each other their wants and trade facilities. Outside of this it is incidentally a literary reforma- tory and educational enterprise; but these latter phases are bound to be largely sub- servient to the commercial purposes upon which tho enterprise financially floats. It is for this reason that young men are not usually taken into a newspaper office, ex- cept they are willing to begin as new3 gatherers, and thus make a thorough under- standing of the commercial side of journal- ism the groundwork of their efficiency. It will not probably be in my time, young man, but the day is coming when the edi- torial and literary side of a newspaper will be divorced from the commercial. That day is not yet arrived, and the man who advertises caudles, pills and old junk in a great journal feels that the editor is morally responsible to him for his views on potatoes, economics and education. You are young, and will probably live to see the day when distinctively literary bureaus outside of tho newspaper office will furnish the editorial and literary miscellany of the coming great journal over responsible signatures. This will extricate editorial integrity from commercial pressure and make the news- paper a power for good which it finds it hard to be at present." The fading twilight was struggling to reach the great blue eyes of the Tribune philosopher through the dirt-begrim- win- dow as these confidential worfls were being spoken in a spirit of .somewhat touching kindness. 1 felt that I had caught Horace Greeley in happy moments w hen his great beautiful self was ready to come to the sur- face. As he rose to look after his coat and hat, he concluded: "Now, young man, I have given you my best advice, and you must do as you think best. If you want to try journalism, go down and tell Mr. Reid from me to take care of you; but whatever you do, try to make it pay to be a man! Good-by!- " Henry Appleton in New York Star.

A Baltimore Iteporter Interviews m Native Interest Inn Information. "Tell me something utoiit social life in Japan." said the reporter. "First of all, have you any dudes over there' Tomati at first did not "ketch ou,' but understood what the scribe meant when "fashionable young men" was substituted for dudes. He remarked that the sw ell young men in the city of Tokio had their clubs like Europeans where they went to pxss the time. "Everything European and Ameri- can," he said, "is considered the height of fashion in Japan among the high toned people. Three years ago the sack coat was all the rage. The mass of ieopIe, however, wear the old time costumes. European dress is adopted in the urmy and navy, by courtiers and by the police." The reporter in the course of conversation elicited othtr interesting data. Japanese young men of fashion vfc.it the girls just as they do in this country, take them out to restaurants uud fill them up with ice cream. They have bulls und parties where waltzing is indulged in ad libitum. The waltz, how- ever, is u very recent innovation, but is liked by the Japanese exceedingly. The costumes of the ladies in Japan are more in conson- ance with the dress retorm movement thau those of American and European girLs. first of all no corset is worn. The long silk sash supplies the place of steel and whalebone. This sash is wrapjed round and round the waist loosely, and the ends bang down There is no large, elaborate lv pinned against the back liko t.iose st-,- .i hi the representation of the "Mife.l- ou our stage.

Up to the time a child can talk and say funny things she it is generally particu- larly so with female chlidren she is her .mother's jxet. Then she is taken possession of by the male parent. A little while after she is bom the new made parent likes tha novelty of dandling her, but that does not last long. Then for a while she is a nuis- ance to the father, but when she begins to get "cute" and cuimiug. when her mother has with infinite cure and affection her infantile brain, the futher steps in uuil begins to muuo)olize the credit. It isn't fair. But the mother always lets him, and contents herself with lavishing utlectiou 011 her and attending to the details the uninteresting details of keeping her clean.

A PLACE WHERE LONDONERS GOFOR INFORMATION OF ALL KINDS.

An Office of Uulrerwl Information forthe Publics-Simp- le System of Anware-xnent-Curlo- us

faeries Received fromWidely Different Source."Nothing is so easy as the invention ofyesterday," is a truism of particular forcewhen brought in connection with the univer-sal kno w ledge and information office situatedin Southampton street, Bloomsbury, which

iU probably be best known to the ourreaders from the sight of elongated personawith lugubrious faces, dressed in coats reach-ing to thsir feet, and carrying a lightly madedesk, wal'ang along the main thoroughfaresfor all the world like a series of new and re-- v

ised editons "of the Wandering Jew. Thesemen are perambulating branch offices of thecentral information office, and any questiongiven to them in writing will be forwardedts headquarters and replied to without lossof time. The history of this remarkable in-stitution is brief but curious, sinco it differsfrom all siiular undertakings in the fact thatit is neither a commercial concern nor amoney speculation. The establishment of auniversal knowledge and information officeis entirely due to Lord Truro, who started theoffice with the double object of benefitingthe public and prov idiug a new opening forthe employment of women. "It was myidea." said the founder of the bureau in thcourse of an interview we had with him ona recent occasion, "to found a central office,where anj person could have auy questionanswered without delay, where researchedinto literature, science an. I art could be con-ducted, where all languages could be writtenor trnnsosed, calculations be made, andstatistics be kept always available." Suchan institution is now in a flourishing state ofexistence and its work is us various as it isinteresting. .

A SIUrl.K SYSTEM.The system of arrangement is simple.

have been appointed in everytown of iniortauce throughout the world.Its iuteror working is di ided into depart-ments, each comprising a range of subjects,from agriculture to Hindoostani and fromliterature to engineering. A large staff,comprising over thirty persons, is kept onthe premises, and among them are linguistscapable of writing and translating everytongue from Welsh to Japanese aud from.Portuguese to Greek. One is a practicalchemist, another an engineer, while amongthe rest are artists, designers, ladies well upin the various kinds of tine work. taiestry,etc., and gentlemen of liberal education andliterary knowledge for general research.Beside theae some 200 others are employedon various errands. A large staff is keptmaking researches at the British museum,another at the Guildhall library. In short,there is no branch of knowledge, languageor subject on which immediate informationcannot be given, providing it is not a ques-tion requiring lengthy research. There are,However, two things which the office will notdo, and about these Lord Truro, who, by theway, personally superintends the bureauevery day, is very particular. The firstrelates to questions of a detective or in-

quisitorial character; the second rule laysdown that the office shall not interfei-- e withany of the professions.

The arrangements in Southampton streetare admirable, but although established onlyin January, 1884, the work has outgrown thespace allotted to it and larger premises willluarc to be shortly- - sought. Several hundredletters are received every morning and morecontinue to pour in throughout the day.Every letter is at onco attended to and putinto the hands of a lady or gentleman inwhose department the inquiry may be. Thequestions are next registered in a book andthe answer when sent is also recorded.Some of these queries are exceedingly curiousand give an interesting insight into the bentof people's minds. They comprise everysubject, known or unknown languages to betranslated into English and back againand we may here note that a very largenumber of queries come from abroad. Thepayment for these foreign questions is gener-ally made in money or stamps of the countryfrom which the letters come, and in thisway Lord Truro has acquired a large andcurious collection of foreign money andstamps. Among those we saw were Rus-

sian rubles, Roumanian 20 lei pieces, Ital-ian lire, German gulden, American notesand Spanish dollars, to say nothing of rupees and postage stamps galore.

THREE CLASSES OF QUESTIONS.The questions received in Southampton

street may be divided into three classesthe ordinary, the curious and the ridiculous,though the last mentioned comprise but asmall minority. Queries respecting hairdyes, noe machines, quack medicines, etc.,are, of course, in the ascendant, but of amore thoughtful kind are those such as thatput by an inquirer wanting to know: "Howcan you tell the difference between a blowand a fall, judging from the effects only1"Another inquiring mind asks for the addressof "the headuarters of "theMormons." Others demand a list of thedifferent appointment in the gift of thegovernment for which no examination is re-

quired, the first mention of the inebdi, andwhere it occurs, why St. James is the patronsaint of Cupar-Fif- e and fourteen or fifteennames of men who deal in cotton waste hiSpain. One correspondent writes from Japanto learn "the French for opium caste," andanother from Worcester asks "Who is inpossession of two estates in Santa Cruz."

It is the ladies, however, who distinguishthemselves the most, and their queries areas various as they are instructive. A num-

ber liave sent for correct costumes for fancydress balls, one even requiring that of theQueen of Sheba, a request which was metwith a water color sketch of the dame illqueston correctly costumed. Two differentladies in different towns have asked forrecipes for preventing blushing, a somewhatstartling fact: indeed, we could have moraeasily understood a prayer for the secret ofan imitation article "Where," asks onedamsel, "can information be obtained as tothe falsetto singing practiced in the Alps,"and "what," writes another fair maid, "isthe antidote for the poison of a flea' ' The re-

quest for a recipe for an ink that will vanishafter it has been on paper eight or ten dayscan be easily understood and is often re-

peated, but what is meant by the petitionfor "full particulars as to flirtation by post-

age stamps" we are at a loss to learn. Leav-

ing the fair sex and quoting from the gen-

eral questions we cull the following: "Whospoke in the house of commons uninter-ruptedly for twenty-tw- o hours?" "Whatare the duties of best men at a wedding""How to enter ladies' society?" "What isthe average speed of a fire engine?" "Wherecan a dumb piano be purchased?" "Is therea copyright between England and Russia?""Give the names of architects practicingin Copenhagen." "Give addresses of homes

for ladies suffering from dipsomania," and"Do Bordeaux pigeons really come fromBordeaux?"

The registers from which we have quotedare kept in strict privacy, but were theyavailable they would give a better insightinto the workings of the minds of the publicthan any similar records with which we are

HOW TO GET STRONG.

Good Advice for WeaklingsSome of Sir.Blalkle's Maxims.

William Blaikie, the author of that muchread little volume, "How to Get Strong andHow to Stay So," in the course of his lect-ure urged that the education of our bodieswas neglected; that we used our muscles,but not wisely. Exercise was necessary, andit should be judicious, well directed and con-stant to be beneficial.

To illustrate how deficient many men werewho were professional athletes, Mr. Blaikieinstanced the case of Edward Hanlan, whomhe had had excellent opportunity to observewhen referee in the famous boat race atChautauqua lake, where Courtney's shellwas sawed. "Hanlan hai been pulling allhis life," said the speaker, "and his pullingmuscles were tremendously developed. Idoubted if his pushing muscles were so strong;so I asked him to try this little exercise."

Here Mr. Blaikie brought forward a coupleof chairs, placed himself between them, hishands ou the top of the chair backs and didthe "dipping" exercise which was practicedso much by the late William Cullen Bryant.

'I did this exercise five or six times," con-tinued the lecturer, "and then asked Hanlanto try. How many times do you supposethat big, mucular oarsman did it? He gotdown on his knees between the chairs andthere he stuck. 'Get up,' said I. 'I can't,'says he. 'Try hard, ' I urged. 'I am tryingas hard as 1 can,' he protested. Think ofthat for the then champion oarsman ofAmerica."

Mr. Blaikie then passed to n review of menand women who were celebrated for thuirgreat achievements, attributing much oftheir superiority to their physical strengthan endurance.

Following are some of Mr. Blaikle'smaxims:

One way to derive tienefit from exercise isto know how to rest.

A Great City's Dead Animals."What becomes of the dead animals in a

large city?" asked an official in the healthoffice yesterday. "I can tell you what be-

comes of those we have to deal with. Theyare shipped to a rendering establishmentthirty miles south of the city, where theyare skinned, cooked, dried and ground upinto guano. These works are located in asort of wilderness just over the Indiana line.The place is called Globe station, but with theexception of the huge building in which therendering is done there is not a structure formiles around. No passenger trains run pastthis immense animal crematory for the reasonthat the stench hanging around the neigh-borhood would nauseate an ordinary person.

The dead nnimals reach the works late atnight. Upon their arrival a nan goesaround yanking off the shoes on the horses'feet and cutting off their tails and manes.The dogs, cows, cats and horses are thentaken to the steaming room, where the frostis taken out of them, after which they areskinned. The meat is taken off their bonesand cast into a great vat, where it is boiledto a pulp. From the vat the meat is takento a drying room, where it soon hardens. Itis then ground up and sold as one brand ofguano. There is nothing about a dead ani-mal that is not turned to profit. The skinof the horses is sold for saddle coverings andboot leggings, while the larger bones of thenoble animd are purchased by manufactur-ers of cutlery. The manes go to the shoe-makers and the long, glossy tails are madeup into livery stable switches. The smallbones of all ntmh are ground up into fer-tilizing material, which is preferred to eitherblood or meat guano for the reason that itcontains more lime.

"It costs the city $7,500 a year to disposeof its dead animals. The owners of thebeasts receive no money for the 'stiffs,' asthey become the property of the city the mo-

ment they are removed from the buildings inwhi h they died." Chicago Herald.

Four Cylinders to m Locomotive.''Thew ie n revolution imnendinir in the

construction of locomotives," said a railroadengineer the other day, "and the improve-ment, I understand, is due to the success ofthe triple expansion engines on ocean steam-

ers. Not that compound engines are to beused for locomotives, but if a number ofcylinders aggregating the same power willsave coal on an ocean steamer why not on alocomotive. The fact that the present sys-

tem is not the best has been well known fora long time. The transmission of powerthrough the connecting rods to the twodrivers is an uneconomcial way at best, andwhen in going around curves the wheels arenot able to turn in unison one or the othermust slip so long as they are rigidly con-

nected."Now it is proposed to use four cylinders

instead of two, one pair for each set ofdrivers. The aggregate power of the four isequall to that of the two now used, but itwas found in a series of experiments made atWoolwich arsenal in Euglaudby the Britishwar office that the power used to move thelocomotive itself was from 30 to 40 per cent,less with four cylinders than with two. Theexperiments were made with an old twocylinder locomotive altered to use four cylin-

ders. Of course the results were not equalto those that could be obtained with amnfhiri tnsde to order. The comimr locomotive will have a pair of cylidners for eachdriving wheel axle." New York Sun.

The Bine Catfish as Game.All my life I have taken great delight in

fishing, and have had the pleasure of landingmany of the game fishes of our waters.Among those which have furnished the mostsport is the blue or channel cat.' Of all thefish that I ever booked it makes the hardestfight for its life. It differs from them inthat they, when struck, leap out of the waterand rush through it with their mouths open,thus making it much easier to conquer andland them; while the catfish takes the hookin its mouth and starts for the bottom ofthe stream or lake with a vim that will testthe tackle of the bsst expert. I have hadmore real sport with it than with any otherfidt T aver tackled. It is full of flzht fromthe strike to the landing net, and requireslonger to bring it to land than any other ofits weight.

WHEN EVARTS WAS YOUNG.

Hie Early but Iuuoccut Kxperleiu-- witha Forged Check Silent Amazement."Do you know," said a prominent mem-

ber of the bar the other day, as he witchedSenator William Maxwell EvarLs saunteringalong past St. Mark's chun-hyard- . -- that thosenator's first large lee a a lawyer didn'tdo him a bit of pecuniary benefit?"

The reporter didn't know it."Well, it's rather a good story,'' the law-

yer said, "and a few lawyers evu remem-ber it, it can be told without any fear of thechestnut annunciator. Tho incident oc-curred in 1S42, when Evarts was only 24years old anil a slim young lawyer with anold fashioned choker collar and his inter-rogative forefinger just beginning to bo nnoticeable part of his pract ice. He was thena criminal practitioner and giving gliinpse3of that ieculiar mastery of sentences of allsizes which has kept pace with the effectiveuse of the forefinger.

"Monroe Eduurds, a very skillful ami con-scienceless penman, had forged a check, gotcaught and hired young Evarts to savo himfrom Sing Sing. The trial wuia on Juno 0,and lasted six days. The future senatorstubbed at witness after witness with hisdeadly forefinger interrogatories and finallyappealed to tho jury for his client's ac-

quittal. It was a marvelous spvch, full ofthe fire and impetuosity of youthful enthu-siasm. It was the talk of the courts formonths, and undoubtedly laid the basis ofWilliam Maxwell's fame as an advocate.But the jury freed itself from the glitteringheap of brilliant sen teni-c- s that youiu; Evnrtspiled up on them and found Edwards guilty.The judge complimented Evarts, and thensent his client to Sing Sing for ten years.The prisoner complimented Evarts on hiseloquence, too, and just before he walked intothe sheriff's carriage to go to tho Sing Singtrain gave the tall young advocate a neatcheck bearing the signature of a well knownman. It was for several hundred dollars,and William Maxwell went proudly to thobank with it aftor ho had bade his clientgood-b- y.

" 'No good." said the bank cashier whenEvarts lianded it up for deposit.

" 'Why?' cried young William Maxwell,in amazement.

" 'The signature is a forgery, sir,' thecashier responded.

"It is related that this was tho only occa-sion in his lifetime that, given a chanco touse some vigorous and impressive sentences,William Maxwell Evarts lot the opportunityslip. He simply stared at the check insilence." New York Sun.

minent. Yet he has a superstition that whenhe discovers the crape he looks for, on thatsame night some great good fortune is to fallto his own lot. He bus tried to shako off thefeeling that sends him on this nightly walk-ing tour. It won't shake. And, rain orshine, he goes religiously up and down theavenue at 10 o'clock every night.ft 1

THE MEN WHO SPECULATE.

Uroken-Dow- n Brokers A Large Num-ber Weak to Begin With.

AVhile one sees occasionally a person whobas made money in Wall street and kept it,be more" commonly sees the oldest andstrongest habitues down there either poor ordiseased. The brokers require to bo perfect-ly sober to keep their heads, and the cus-

tomers as well, yet the conditions of specu-lation demand stimulation, and the wildesttilings are done when the head is drunk.You will find the stock exchange and allother exchanges where speculation ragessurrounded by drinking houses, and a largeproportion of these break in time localisetheir proprietors and clerks are drawn intothe market.

A large majority of the men w ho specu-late are weak to begin with. Here andthere ou find u hard brained man, withoutmuch sensibility, started in life amid roughassociations, and to him the stock exchangeis rather a mild and society. Hehas learned to be reticent, not to talk much,not to show either his looses or his gains, andsuch a one extending his acquaintance maypossiLly in time with his equals orsupci.urs aud force the quotations accordingto his bets, for it is all betting in every event.Politi.IaC', people of literary turns, actors,ofilceiof the regular army, advanced clerksin mercantile houses, keepers of saloons,butchers, hotel men. are among the sourcesof supply tor the stock exchange. Many ofthese have not much training or education,uul but little niorjtl courage; yet the atmos-phere of Wall street is as genial us that of agambling house v hen a stranger enters it.

on go intu 1 lie old t.tshioned gaming house,it uny sueh exist in our day, and you findpolite attention everywhere; order Mnd quietare maintained. The chief gambler is theessence f discretion nnd composure. So inWall street you can find the most agreeableI'xponeuts of human nature, often Usefulmen: th h- - age for a Wall street manseems to b.- - about 10. These broker are notoften toi.R They have often !een mer-chants, contractors, builders of railway lines,aud approach the speculative part of theirwoik from the lnnte and wholesome end.

He who goes to Wall street had best pos-

sess some experience f ical life beforehand.When a man is worn out there and his moneyIon there U not the least use for him, evenwhere good cliarity is exercised, liecausu thebusiness of the street is to buy nnd sell stocksfor commissions, uud to work without anysecurity of pay is a bore to the broker nnd abad example to his customers, besi los un in-asi-

of liis book keeping and demoraliza-tion at large. In the ordinary pursuits of lifereckoning day conies every quarter or twicea year, but in Wall street it conies everylay. "It is u rule of the street to follow upmargins closely and collect them promptly.The mere sucker who goes down there witha few thousand dollars has but littlo idea ofthe huge brute strength he may have to en-

counter in the very room where hekeejis hisuccount. He would hardly go to a privatejoker room where experts played in order tohide his purse Hnd his hand: why then shouldhe enter a business olllco where thjy gamblef10m 0 o'clock until 3, only six hours out ofthe twenty-fou- r, consider that he is privi-lese- d

No doubtthere l.--i considerable honor among thebrokers, but a good many of Iheso brokersare themselves ujwrators, and in ninny casesthey have no other know ledge tnan an ordi-nary newspaper reader or topographicaltraveler would have of the condition of cor-porations.

How Archer Killed Himself.In his early days of riding he was so slight-

ly built that he often had to carry as muchu two or three stone of dead weight, but 03age crept' upon him his daily study was tokeep bi'low his normal bodily weight of tenstone. To effect this he ltad to go throughshocking privations in the way of sweating,starving ami physicing. For the first namedpurpose he had special Turkish baths builtat his private residence while the chief pieceof furniture in his library was a pair of veiysensitive scales. He would exist for a wholeday upon a bunch of gapes, or a single pieceof dry toast and a glass of champagne. Ofthis treacherous wine he was particularlyfond, but ho woidd touch none but the verybest brands. He declared that it kept himalive without in any way Interfering withhis weight. It must not, however, be in-

ferred that his table was niggardly. On thecontrary, it was always supplied in bounti-ful fashion, for he was a grand host. Hisself denial was marvelous, for when he musthave been simply ravenous with hunger, hewould preside at his table surrounded by themost tempting viands and j-- merely muncha dry' biscuit or his hard burned toast.

When the pangs of hunger got almost pastthe power of man to resist the temptation toeat, he would adjourn to his library, testhis weight 0.1 his trusty scales, shake lushead at the last obstinate pound which re-

fused to "come off," and then retire to bedto be out of the way of the savory smellfrom the kitchen. Nature, however, rebelledagainst this treatment, and the punishmentcame suddenly and swiftly. The last strawthat broke the camel's back was the attemptto get down to eight stone six pounds to rideSt. Miriu in the Cambridgeshire. He feltthat it was his last chunee to win that event,aud he had made up his mind to do it atwhatever cost. He rodo but did not win.On tho contrary he was u wreck, nervelessand dispirited, and utterly without stamina.In this condition he went to Brighton andLowes, und sufl'ered exposure on the bleakdow lis in a thin shirt uud silk jacket, with apair of hunting breeches. The inevitablechill followed and the fever demon seizedupon a frame ill prepared to withstand itslavages. London Letter.

Tricks or Shoplifters."We have to keep a pretty sharp lookout

for thieves these days, said one of the floorwalker of a down town store. "The liftersare up to several new tricks this 3'ear, and,working us they do in the great crowds ofbuyers, it is a difficult matter to spot themat once. Some of their new games? One ofthem is to roll a flvo cent piece or some othersmall coin over the counter so it will fallw here tho saleslady is standing. The latterstoops down to pick up the money for thecustomer, and while she is doing this thelifter stows away one or two of the artfclesdisplayed on the counter. Another trick isto approach the jewelry counter with smallpackage, one end of which is smeared withtar or some other sticky substance. The'lifter' asks to be shown some rings, which heremoves from the traj's and distributesabout the top of the show case. He drumson the glass with one corner of the stickyend of tho package until a favorable op-

portunity presents itself, when he suddenlyjabs it down upon u gold band and strolLsaway saying as he does so that he will callaround ngniu. Those are two of the newtricks. There may be a great many others,but wo haven't got on to them yet." Chi-

HORACE GREELEY.

AH INSTANCE WHERE HE DID NOTADVISE TO "GO WEST."

Confidential Words from the Great Edi-

tor Prophesying the Day Editorialsand Literary Journalism Would BeDiiorced from tbo Commercial.

A number of years ego I found myself inNew York with a few dollars in my pocket,over which I was debating at the crossroads of indecision as to whether I shouldinvest it in an attempt to got a foothold injournalism on some of the metropolitanpapers, or go west, whitber the star of in-

tellectual as well as material empire seemedto point the way.

I had brought with me from my NowEngland home a letter of introduction toHorace Greeley, given me by a distinguishedAmerican poetess, to whom he had longbeen attached by tho closest spiritual ties.Rut so much had I heard of tho savagehumors with which one was liable to boconfronted, should his presence happen tobo ill timed, that I felt like one who carrieda free pass to enter a lion's cage, and thecertainty that the pass would carry me upwhen ones delivered made it all the moreuncomfortable in my pocket.

On the afternoon when 1 had determinedto hariird the die I passed and repassed theold Tribune building sevei al times on theopposite side to get my first journalisticwind, for I was scarcely more thau ublushing, shriuking New England boy,who felt constrained in the presence of"great mon' to assume tho uttitude of atoad looking up at St. Peter's.

But I finally gathered myself up, andsighting the door of The Tribune office,crossed the street with firm aud steadytread, and soon had my card in the hands oftho office boy, who disappeared with it upstairs. After a few awful moments tiie ladreturned and bade me follow. I ascended acouple of flights of rickety stairs and soonreached a door which looked as though itmight b9 an entrance to the top loft of agrist mill. I entered, and as the door closedbehind me seated myself cautiously upon adilapidated chair, for the abiding spirit intowhose presence I had entered turned notround uor made any sign of recognition.

1 shall never forget the picture of thateditorial "den" if that can bo called apicture which is thrown together by thedemons of disorder and chaos. Papsrs,IiamphleUi, books, unused copy, old hatsand editorial brio-a-bra- o of all descriptionswore scattered about promiscuously. Mr.Grcwloy's traditional gray coat was flunginto tho corner, with his slouched bat rest-ing tranquilly upon it. A generous profu-sion of cobwebs und dust forced upon thevisitor's attention the conspicuous absenceof broom, soap nnd toilet furniture. Verilyhere was the fitting abode of intellectualRattlebones the disputed realm of Rhada-manth-

and the S.:u god.. The figure, w ho-- ; brawny back was turnedtoward me. was elevated on an antiquechair, tho limbs of which seemed to be hold-ing rivalry with those of its occupant. Be-

fore him was a desk nearly as high as hisshoulders, on the tide of which was a iot ofink, set in a pile of quills. The iapcr onwhich he wrote was held at a verticalangle. With his great hand grasped firmlyaround thn quill, as though it were tho leverthat moved tho world, he would thrust itinto tho ink pot, and then with a motionprojected from a level with the eye howould swing it across and back on the paper,as though it were a jackplane, till thesheet was full. Whoever saw Horace Gree-ley swing his quill in that weird sanctumwitnessed a species of "technique" the likoof which was never seen before in this worldand will probably never be seen again.

When he had finished the editorial uponwhich ho was at work he scrambled thesheets together, scribbled out the headline,and calling a boy sent the copyjup to thecompositors. Fortunately for me it happened to bo his last office work for thatday, and now my time had come. Afterreading over the lady's note, which recom-mended me to his kindest consideration, asa youth of more promise than experience inthe literary world, he turned to me, andsetting his specs upon his spacious temples,said: "Well, young man."

Heavens! thought I, now the rest is com-ing. But that which came did not pointwestward, but pointed rather, as subsequentexperience has since taught, to the bestsense within me.

"I am in a mood," he continued, "indeference to my dear friend Mrs. W., to giveyou my very best advice as to the advisa-bility of entering upon journalism a3 aprofession, ft you have brains, conscienceand independent creative, literary ability,my advice to you is to keep away from thenewspapers and work your level best in pa-

tience till you can make a point as a maga-zine writer. You have then laid tho cornerstone of your record, aud if you sustain itthe way is certain for u to bo rated forall you are worth in literature. A news-paper is primarily a commercial enterprise,whose proprietors are engaged in the tradeof buying mid selling news and of furnish-ing the various members of rociety withthe means of making known to each othertheir wants and trade facilities. Outsideof this it is incidentally a literary reforma-tory and educational enterprise; but theselatter phases are bound to be largely sub-servient to the commercial purposes uponwhich tho enterprise financially floats. Itis for this reason that young men are notusually taken into a newspaper office, ex-

cept they are willing to begin as new3gatherers, and thus make a thorough under-standing of the commercial side of journal-ism the groundwork of their efficiency. Itwill not probably be in my time, youngman, but the day is coming when the edi-

torial and literary side of a newspaper willbe divorced from the commercial. Thatday is not yet arrived, and the man whoadvertises caudles, pills and old junk in agreat journal feels that the editor is morallyresponsible to him for his views on potatoes,economics and education. You are young,and will probably live to see the day whendistinctively literary bureaus outside of thonewspaper office will furnish the editorialand literary miscellany of the cominggreat journal over responsible signatures.This will extricate editorial integrity fromcommercial pressure and make the news-paper a power for good which it finds ithard to be at present."

The fading twilight was struggling toreach the great blue eyes of the Tribunephilosopher through the dirt-begrim- win-dow as these confidential worfls were beingspoken in a spirit of .somewhat touchingkindness. 1 felt that I had caught HoraceGreeley in happy moments w hen his greatbeautiful self was ready to come to the sur-face. As he rose to look after his coat andhat, he concluded:

"Now, young man, I have given you mybest advice, and you must do as you thinkbest. If you want to try journalism, godown and tell Mr. Reid from me to takecare of you; but whatever you do, try tomake it pay to be a man! Good-by!- "
