THE CORVA LLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1800. PRIZE EDITORIALS. Aa editorial contest recently in augurated by the New York World has developed a fact long known to journalists, that the power of terse, vigorous expression is ex tremely rare. Of 464 editorials offered in competition, sixteen only were selectedout of which the winner was to be named. . The others were more in the nature of essay, and as such were valueless for newspaper use. Many of them were well written, but.the subjects selected were threadbare, and the manner of treatment hackneyed and verbose. Yet the contestants embrace clergymen, physicians, lawyers, country editors, school teachers, and every conceivable calling. A judge, an adjutant general of a state and a police-4 man are louud in the list of com petitors. Th writer who aspires to editor ial work in these daysof haste and progress, in order to court success, must employ all the arts of con centration. Diffusion, is a dead duck in journalism. People will not pause to read long editorials, it matters not how ably written they may be. For such articles they look to the magazines and the reviews. - . , And yet a -good newspaper edi torial is simplicity itself. All that required is the employment of ideas on timely topics, the expres sion of those ideas in clear-cut En glish, and the conveyance of the impression that the writer is famil iar with his - subject and is i thoroughly in earnest in the ex pression of his views. The truth must be spoken with candor and j fearlessness. -;- As a noted journalist once said to the writer, "It is easy enough to write when one has something to tell his readers. The difficulty lies in trying to say something when you have nothing to say." . This contest of the World's has developed another fsct. It shows that men of ability . push them selves to the front and do not wait for the opportunity to search them out That is why that out of 464 "competitors not a single editorial was developed that was superior to the ordinary production that would be expected and demanded of the average newspaper writer on two hours notice. It proves that after all our system of society can be relied upon to work the right men into the right place. Ex. FISH THAT ARE'-PitOLIFO. According to naturalists a scor pion will produce sixty-five young, a common fly will lay 144 eggs, a leech 150 and a spider 170. A hydrachma produces 600 egg and a frog 1190. A female moth, will produce 1100 eggs and a tortoise 1000. A gall insect has laid 50, 000, a shrimp 6000, and 10,000 .havabeen found in the ovary of an ascaris. One naturalist faund over 12,000 eggs in a lobster, and another over 21,000. An insect very similar to and ant (Mutilla) has produced 80,000 eggs in a sin gle day, and Leuwenhoeck seems to compute 4,000,000 as a crab's share. Many fishes produce an in credible number of eggs. More than 36,000 have been counted in a herring, 38,000 in a smelt, 1,000,000 in a sole, 1,130000 in a roaih, ,8,000,000 in a sturgeon, 342,000 in a carp, 388,000 in a tench, 546,000 in a mackerel, 992, 000 iii a perch, and 1,357,000 in a flounder. , . But of all the fishes ever yet discovered, the cod seems to be the most prolific. One nat uralist computes that this fish pro duces more than 3,686,000 eggs, and another as many as 9,444000. A rough calculation has. shown that were 1 per cent, of the eggs of salmon to resuft in full-grown fish, and were they and their pro g'eny to continue to increase in the ratio, ' they " would in about six years amount in bulk to many ' times the size of the earth. Nor is the salmon the most prolific of species. In a yellow perch weigh- Children Cryfoi? ing 3 ounces have been counted 9943 eggs, and in a smelt 10 inches in length, 25,141. An in teresting experiment was made in Sweden in 1761 by Charles F. Lundi. He obtained from fifty female breams 3,100,000 young; from 100 female perch 3.215,000 young, and from 100 female mul lets 4,000,000 young. WAKED UP EFFECTUALLY. A lethargic dormant condition of the liver is hardly to be overcome with drastic cathartics and nauseous chol agogues. A gentler, pleasanter and far more effective means exists of arous ing the organ when somnolent. This is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, vouch ed for by , the medical fraternity, tested by the public "for many years. Are sumption by the biliary organs organ of its secretive funtion, with the ac tivity attendant upon health, a return to regularity of the bowels, and a re newal of digestion, are the no less happy and certain results of using the Bitters systematically. Its laxative ef fect is never painful and drenching, its tendency being rather to perpetuate resrularitv than to produce a copious action-. ; Malaria, nervousness, debility, kidney troubles and neuralgia it sub dues eflVctnallyJ" THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL TRIBUNAL. The highest court of the United States, whose centennial commor atSon is at hand, holds a unique place ih our form of government and one not. found in any. other governmental system. It weilds a power greater than is exercised by any other judicial tribunal in the world. In no country of Eu rope or the East has any court authority to make or unmake the supreme law of the land, to limit the perogative of the sovereign, to control the powers of the legisla ture, to shape the form of govern ment. - These functions are exercised by the supreme court of the United States. It holds "a power above that ot the chief magistrate of the nation, superior to that ot con gress, higher than that of auy state, and equalled only by that, which made or can amend the con stitution. It can enlarge or limit the prerogatives of the president or the powers of congress. It can change th'e relations between' the state and the nation. It can ex tend or restrict either tha central power or state sovereignity. In short, it can make or unmake the constitutional law of the country. It can introduce radical changes into our form of government. Not only can the supreme court wield these vast powers, it has long done so and may long con tinue to do so. MOTHERS!

"I was settling down to work," said a boojt-agent-pestered man yesterday,' "when a pretty woman entered my office. Na one would suspect that she wa3 a book agent. She placed a volume in front of me. and began to talk. I told her I would not buy the book it I really wanted it. 'Never mind,' said she gaily. 'It won't cost you anything to look at it. .. ' - V . "As she desired, I did look at it. I read the introduction and then chapter I. It was about 10 o'clock when I opened the book. At 11 o'clock the pretty book agent had become uneasy, I never raised my eyes. Another hour and she was pacing up and down the floor. At 1 o'clock, when she had nearly worn herself out. I laid the book down, and putting on my coat and hat, said to the exasperated woman: 'That's a clever book, I regret that 1 cannot read more of it, but I must get away to dinner.' . She was mad; but she didn't say a word Grabbing the book she shoved it into her satchel and made for the street." Boston Globe.
