Sullivan, now managing editor of The Journal, was a reporter on The Tribune, he was sent up to Evanston to do the college commencement exercises. When he bad written up the after noon session he took it to the telegraph offico and incidentally remarked to the operator that he would have some more stuff to send in the evening about 9:30 or 10 o’clock. The operator informed Mr Sullivan that the of fice would be closed at that time, and be could not send any message. Mr. Sullivan said that what he desired to send would be important matter for his paper, and asked tho dignified young man why l.e could not be there to re ceive it The reply was that he was going to a ball with his girl that night and he did not propose to give it up for the paper, tho col lege or for anything else. Mr. Sullivan en deavored to argue the point with him, but the young fellow would listen to nothing. Finally Mr Sullivan asked in a mock hum- bloness if he could send a message then, and as permission was granted he took a blank and wrote: “Anson Stager, Western Union telegraph office, Chicago: A reporter for The Tribune will have alx>ut a column of import ant matter to send to his paper this evening about half past 9 or 10 o’clock; your operator here says he cannot possibly be here at that time to receive it as he is going to a ball with his girL Will you please send a special man up here to take the message?" To this he signed liis name aud handed it in. As the young man read it be turned all sorts of colors and, seeing that lie was beaten, laid it down and said sadly. "I will be here.” Re porters do not enjoy being hard hearted, but the exigencies of this case in the first place and the lofty air of this young man called out all the fiintiness in Mr Sullivan's nature. -Chicago Tribune. Obstinate Children. A friend once told me how, wheu a child, ;he was one day kept without food, and sent to bed hungry and exhausted, for not reciting nine lines by heart, the punishment being nfiicted on the supposition that she was will- ully obstinate. She said that she does not ii w think herself to have been naturally ob stinate, speaking generally; and. in this par- t cular instance, she added: “But what no >ne knew then, and what I know as the fact, vas that after refusing to do what was re quired, and bearing anger and threats in consequence, 1 lost the power to do it. I be came stone. The will was petrified, and I ilisolutely could not Amply.” She expressed the conviction that the obstinacy was not in the mind, but on the nerves, and that what we call obstinacy in children, and in grown IK'.ople, too, is often something of this kind, mil that it may be increased by mismanage ment or persistence, or what is called firm ness in the controlling power, into disease or something near to it.—Dorothea in Ladies’ Home Journal. Churches Coiestein Chy Hoang Ty’i Fatuous Freak. Chy Hoang Ty, whose name signified the first emperor, and who rendered himself for ever famous by the erection of the great Chinese wall, which has now stood for 3,000 years, by another act liecmne entitled to quite a different soecies of fame He ordered that all the books of the learned people, including the works of Confucius, should be cast into the fiames. Many of the volumes, of course, escaped this fate, through the zeal of those who cultivated learning, but it is said that upwards of 400 persons who tried to evade or oppose the order were burned together with the books they had wished to save. An emi nent authority ui sjieaking of the act says: “It is not easy to explain the fantastic wick edness of such an act on any common princi ples. but one reason alleged for it is the jeal ousy that this foolish emperor entertained for the fame of his progenitors, and the wish be indulged that posterity should hear of none before himself.”—Exchange. Curing a Hiccough. Mr. Smithkin had heard that a sure cure for a hiccough was a severe fright. One evening, smoking at his fireside after supper, he was taken with a hiccough, which con tinued in spite of all his efforts to chock it. Presently he got up suddenly from hischair, and called out in alarm to Mrs. Smithkin: “I’ve lost my watch! I’ve lost my watch!” Mrs. Smithkin hastened into the room. “John Smithkin!” she said, “what do you meau1" Why, you haint done any such thing Here’s your watch all right, in your vest pocket.” “Don’t you think I know that»” said Mr. Smithkin. “1 was jest giving myself a severe fright, you know, to stop the hiccoughs!”— Youth’s Companion.

I QUEER TEMPERED RAZORS. ihitvlng Instrument* Discussed from the Metaphysical Tdlnt of View. "When 1 say that a razor has a good tem per,” said a barber to a reporter, “1 mean ■omething more than that the steel has been gardened by fire and water to just the right point. In my opinion a razor has a disposi tion like a human being It may be amiab! < wd always do its work smoothly—thougn I □ever did see a razor yet that wasn't subject to off spells once iu a while—or it may be sulky half the time and refuse to cut prop- srly, even if the best of tools when in a good humor. And what you've got to do is to aumor it. There’s no use try ing to drive a razor that doesn't want to shave; you'll only put yourseit out, maybe cut the customer and make the razor so angry that it won't work again for goodness knows how long. The thing to do is to put it right away in a drawer, n ithout disputing the matter, and give it a rest “Take it out again at theend of a week, and ten to one it w ill be iu prime condition and as willing a- p«sible. There was a college pro fessor in here one day not long ago who stuffed me with what he called a scientific sxplanation of razors’ fits. He said that if I would look at the edge of a razor through a microscope 1 would see that it looked like a iross cut saw, with teeth projecting on either ride. By use these teeth were bent out of shape, but if the razor was put away for a while the teeth would get back into adjust ment again and the tool would once more ap pear sharp. Of course, that all sounds very well, but I stick to my theory just the same. And 1 ought to know, for I’ve seen more razors, and bandied ’em, than that bald headed old professor ever dreamed of.” “It seems to me,” «aid the reporter, upon whom the tonsorial artist was operating, “that the razor you are using upon me at this moment must be suffering from no small legree of irritation on some account or other, judging by the way it hurts,” The barber paused for a moment in tho ■craping performance, and extending one thumb drew the edge of the blade slowly «cross the nail in a manner that sent a cold shiver down the newspaper man's backbone. “It’s sharp enough,” he remarked, “but I'll try auother. Perhaps this razor did not like you. You see, there’s no doubt of the fact that razors have their personal preferences. The blade that will shave one customer to a ?harm won’t shave another. Of course, a difference in the toughness and thickness of the beard makes a difference in the sort of razor required, but I am not speaking of that at all. If a razor doesu’t happen to like you it won't shave you well under any circum stances. Now, you observe, the razor I am using at present takes to you first rate. 1 bought it for fifty cents off a man whom It didn’t like. It's a good one, and,' though I should bate to part with it, I might let it go to you, sir, for $5. The handle's broken, but you could easily have another put on, and it wouldn’t cost so much. Did you say‘tonic’’ Your hair’s getting a trifle thin ou top." “Thanks, no,” replied the customer. “I’ve been thirty years in the business,” went on the barber, accompanying his words with a brief shampoo, “and what I don't know about the ways of razors isn't worth knowing. There was something the professor I was speaking about told me, however, that I hadn't heard before, though I don’t guaran tee that it is correct, mind you. What he said was that the edge of a cold razor, seen through a microscope, was a wavy line, but when the blade was plunged into hot water the steel expanded and the edge was made straight, like a string drawn taut, and that was the reason why it was a good thing in cold weather to dip your razor into hot wa ter, so as to make shaving easier, as of courso it would be, with a straight edgo than with a crooked one. “It’s a funny thing about a razor that buy ing one is always a perfect gamble, even for an expert. A first rate blade is an accident, aud often a fifty cent razor will be better than another for $2. You see razors have to he hand made from beginning to end and the most skillful workman can’t be sure of get ting two just alike. It is in the ‘temper draw ing’ process that the quality of the razor is determined. Laid upon a plate of hot sand the blade changes gradually from a light yellow to a dark straw color, and it is by this color that the workman must judge of the degree of temper. If it is a shade too light the steel will be too soft, if a shade too dark it will be too hard and will crumble. So it happens that razors of the same brand always vary and a really fine one is a prize. “But no man can tell a good one when he goes to buy with any certainty unless he is given an opportunity to try it on a hone. In that case if he is an export he can judge. Ninety per cent, of all the razors used in this country are made in England, though deal ers have put their own names on them. 1 should advise any man who shaves himself to have a razor for each day in the week. Then no one of the seven will ever get tired, and if they are all lioned once a year it w-'ll be enough. The chief troublejwith beginners at shaviug is that they don't know how to strop their razors. If they would get some one that knew how to show them that, and always have their lather thick and rub it in well, they would lie saved a great deal of dis tress. Next!”—Washington Star. Onions Instead of Quinine. One day I was taken with chills and head ache, signs that my old enemy, malaria, was on band. My quinine box was empty, and 1 was looking forward to a restless, sleeples.- uight. In desperation I peeled a raw onion and slowly ate it, and then went to bed, with warm feet mid an extra comforter, when, presto 1 I was asleep in five minutes, and awakened in the morning free from malaria and ready for tHe day’s duties. Our homely but strong friend will lie ap predated in time as a medicine, and if agri culturists would turu their attention to rais ing a model onion, with the strong scent taken out that taints the breath so unpleas antly, families will be putting their “pills” iu the cellar by the barrel and the doctors would take to onion farming. The onion acts as a cathartic and diuretic, and may help to break up a cold or lessen the bad symptoms. Said a doctor: “I always store a barrel of onions in my cellar during the fall. We have them cooked twice a week, and who ever of the family is threatened with a cold cats some onion raw. If this vegetable were generally eaten there would be no diphtheria, rheumatism, gout, kidney or stomach trouble. “But bless you! the young men and women are afraid to eat them. One young man went so far as to say to me: ‘If my wife ate onions I would get a bill of divorce.’"— American Garden. Connubial Bonds in Aust rails. An Australian colonist recently caused to be inserted in the newspapers the follow ing brief announcement: “Not having heard of my wife for the past ten years, I intend to marry again—John Leary, postoftice, Gee long.” A husband who has waited a whole decade in the hope that his errant spouse may turn up, hardly appears open to the charges of being short tempered: but unless the laws of the colony of Victoria already include a statute of limitations applicable to matters connubial and covering the case of Mr. Leary, it would seem that that gentleman is ut length prepared to run the risk of commit ting bigamy rather than continue any longer iu the condition of single files-»« lues*. Prob ably the above announcement is to be ex plained by a measure now before the parlia ment of Victoria, and which will, in all prob ability, shortly become law. This is the so called divorce law amendment bill, by which in that portion of the British empire the dis solution of the marriage tie is to be greatly facilitated. By this measure a divorce may be granted on various grounds not hitherto admitted as justifying so extreme a remedy. Desertion or habitual drunkenness, with ueglect or cruelty on the part of either husband or wife, will henceforth enable either to obtain a di vorce a niensa et thoro. If either commits a violent assault on the other, or is convicted of crime, the injured party may, in either case, demand not a mere judicial separation, but a final and complete dissolution of the marriage. Legislation of this sort is calcu lated to shock not a few people in this coun try, but there can bo uo doubt that the public feeling is overwhelmingly in its favor in Victoria. Indeed, on the passing of the act, a rush of discontented husbands and wives anxious to avail themselves of it is antici pated from the other colonies, and a clause has accordingly been inserted rendering it necessary that married persons must have been domiciled in the country for two years at least before their petitions for divorce cat lie entertained.—Loudon Standard.
