A Chicago Reporter Anticipates Method of Pulltaer'a Journalistic School. A clever reporter on the Chicago Record-Herald anticipates the working of Pulitzer's school of Journalism by out lining what will be the probable course In Instructing reporter on reporting a game of baseball. Under the caption "School of Journalism, Lesson I Base- hall," he writes: ii, uewriLes. It is assumed that the student of Jour - Hism is provided with cards on which tin I hlack letters. and the name of his paper In small type at the lower left-hand corner. Thus pro vided, the journalist is prepared to bnffet the waves. Let us asanme for the first lesson that th journalist is assigned to report a baseball game. .

His fincers clune together when be at tempted to open his bands, and films of silky sweetness were spun about him aa he threw back his bead and opened his mouth In epicurean ecstasy. Household Words explains this happy condition: 'Goodness, law!" exclaimed the old mammy, who came suddenly round the corner. "What yo' slttln' aat a-way for when I jea' been tryin' to clean yo up!

At weddlne festivals In Arabia, Per sia and Morocco the women guests hold" carnival all day, sometimes several days, but the poor little bride Is In a room by herself fasting. She is being "decorated." Depilatories and tweezer remove all superfluous hair. She ia scrubbed with pumice stone; her toes. fingers and hair are stalnea witn uen na, and her face Is daubed with red and bits of gold paper.
