A printer's devil was pierced to the heart
With the charms of a dear little miss.
Quoth he to the lass, ''My dear ere we part
Let us aeal our love with a kiss.""
But the maiden repli.d, as tho imp she eyed
"Dost think I'd let yon revsl
wbers others before you bava vainly tried?
Nay, nay; I'll not kiss the devil."
Years passed away, and the sweet little laaa
Became an old, sorrowful maid.
Riches she had, but then, alas!
Her beauty had all decayed.
Ouca again they met, and fain the old maid
would recall the former issue;
But the devil replied, as the old maid he
eyed,
"No; the devil now wouldn't kiss you!
Printer's Circular.
iVASIIINOTOX LETTER.
From our Kegular (WresiiouJent.l
Wakhtnutox, Feb. 'JI, 1KHS,
The senate having removed tha
secrecy from the Fisherien treaty,
the tuost notable thing done by that
body this week was to debate for
more than an hour the policy of con
Hideriiig tho document witli open
door. ,o radical a departure from
time-honored precedent awakened
Litter opposition from tt number of
i influential senators, but there have
been a litimber of prominent con.
; . . .
vert ! the oten session iaoement
j
I f late. It is predicted that the
I secret sessions, except where aflhm-
i, ... u . . ;
i not last manv monlts lonprer.
Senator Teller made a vigorous
plea for open session recently, lie
a rotied that no department in thin
joveriiiiient hail any business to
have secrets from the public, unless
it were tho state department, pend
ing treaty motiations, or fcome-
thiu;f of that kind.
He said that j
every decision made by tho head of
a department, every adjudication
made by the head of a bureau,
ouoht to be an open book for the
people of the United States to read
ami examine. He held that secret
session-i were im-republican ; that
there was no more icason for con

1 in port it ii t Decision.
The 1 liter dale (Yniinerce Commis
sion has mulcted nn important
decision in the case of the complaints
made by fleoigo l!ien of Marietta,
Ohio, ngainsf, the Louisville and
Nashville and several other railroads,
charging, among other things, dis
criminations by the railroads in
favor.of the Stumlaid Oil Company.
Tho complainant' method of ship
ment was in harrois, the only
method for which any of the
defendants supplied rolling atock
to their customers. Some of
the companies bad a few tank
cars, but tho tanks upon them
were owned bv the Standard Oil
Company of Kentucky, and they
were not obtainable by others. Per
sons desiring to ship oil in bulk by
tank cars could only do so by pro
curioff oul tend,eriu to. the railroad
companies t he cars for transportation.
The defendants, by their rate sheets,
gave rates on oil in barrels, and to
many towns, but not to all, on oil in
tanks also. Tie rates on tho trans
portation of oil iu tanks were gen
erally car rutes, but in some caaes
they were by tho hundred pounds.
The rate sheets gave no infoimation
as to how tank cars were to be ob
tained. The commission decides
that it wns the duty of tho defend
ants to publish information on the
subject with tli' if rate sheets, and
that not having done so they did
not fully give Ihe information re
garding rates which the interstate
commerce net intended should be
placed before the public.
LAKE SlTl'MOU'N ICY WATERS.
How cold tho dark water of Lake
Superior is. One evening we were
steaming across that lake and I
asked tho mate what was done when
a man fi ll overboard. Ho coolly
replied, -'Nothing."
"Why?" I asked, astonished at hie
heart lessness.
"Tho wacr of Lake Superior is o
cold that a man cannot live in it dur
ing tho time it luW to stop a rapidly
moving vessel aud lower a boat," he
replied. Then he added :
"I have sailed on this lako for
twenty years. Punug that time I
have known many men to fall off
vessels. I know of but one man
who escaped death. He was saved
by n scratch. The others were ap.
parently killed by the ahock pro
duced by falling into such cold
water."
Ho picked up au empty can to
which a long hiring was attached,
and cast it overboard. The can
skipped from tho crest of one wave
to another for an instant, then dip
ped and filled. Tho hoary-headed
mato drew tho can up and handed it
to me, saying, "Take a drink of that
and then say what you think of your
chances iu swiming in Lako Superi
or for ton or fifteen minutes." I
drank deeply, and it was as though
liquid ice llowed down my throat.
"It is alleged," the mato Bald,
"that thi lake never gives up ils
dead; that to bo drowned in Lake
Superior is to be drowned for all
time. I do not know whether this
is true or not, but I do know that I
have never seen a corpso floating on
the lake." I wonder if this is true?
I doubted it, but I could find no
Bailor who had ever aoen a dead
body floating on tho lake. St. Louis
