Koiue London Editor".
a writer in Tlie New York Star con
tributes some interesting peraon amies
about the men at the head of the leading
Loriduii newspapers.
One is BHtonwhed to find that London
editor are much better paid than their
bret hren in Aniericu, as a rule, air LU
wiu ArnoM. of The London Telegraph,
the gentleman who has just vinited us
and lieeii made much of, tstanda at the
head of BritiKh newspaper men. both m
to reputation and salary. He receives
2U.1HW a year. There i only one editor
, t t
in America wno even nau me umiw ui
gettins as much as that. We learn also
that the nub-editors and leading corre
spondents of the chief London dailies re
ceive from $5,000 to $12. 000 a year. Even
the reioiters arid the rank and file of
London journidists are better paid than
the same clans in this country. It must be
that fewer ople can write over there
than in America.
Perhaps the seeoud most famous Lon
don editor is Mr. W. T. Stead, of the
Pall Mall Gazette, the editor who can
always be depended ou to give the Brit
ish public a sensation. He w the hard
est worked newspaper man in London,
though not the best paid. He lives in
the country, drives into the city every
day a dozen miles, and is at his desk at
8 o'clock in the morning, lie stays at
it till 6 p. tn. Mr. Stead will start a
model newspaper for the world in the
spring, and is coming to America first
to study us awhile. It is likely we can
give him some points.
Another famous English editor is
Henry Labouchere, profanely called
"Labby." He owns half of The London
News. "all of London Truth, is a mem
ber of parliament and a rich man. He
speaks his mind, likes Americans, and
tweaks the noses of royalties in speech
and writing.
Edmund Yates, founder and owner of
The Loudon World, is also a rich editor.
He was one of the first English newspa
per men to go in for personal journal
ism, American fashion, and it paid hiuo
handsomely.
The point that strikes the American
newspaper writer is the wealth of these
Einrlish iourualista. "Hie richest one of
all is Edward Lloyd, proprietor of The
Daily Chronicle and Lloyds Weekly
newspaper, both being publications little
known here. But even in the United
States it is not always the journal with
the w idest fame that earns the most
money. Mr. Lloyd has a farm in Africa,
where is grown the grass that makes the
paper on which his journals are printed.

The Flower of Autumn.
Thanksgiving tables will be adornei
with the last flower that blooms out
doors in northern gardens, the crown of
the fall 6eason. the splendid chrysan
themum. The name signifies "gold
flower," and it fits well the queen of
autumn flowers.
The annual chrysanthemum shows in
all our large cities have become import
ant events. They dr statesmen, poet,
and f ashior able beauta, and even hard
headed business men are not asnamed to
be seen among chrysanthemum worship
ers. The flower's native home is China
and Japan. The &tst chrysanthemum
bloomed in England in 1795. It was
crimson in color, but had a blossom only
two inches across. When we look at the
flowers in the chrysanthemum, shows
now, tees than a hundred years later, we
may see how the plant has improved
under the 6killful manipulation or the
florist. A single blossom is sometimes
seven inches in diameter.
The improvement is remarkable. There
are now over aoo varieties, ir neigni
from a few inches to five and six feet.
A more gorgeous, dazzling sight cannot
be witnessed than a great hall filled with
blooming specimens of this, nature's
farewell to us before she leaves us for
the winter. If ycu have any kind of
garden plot, little or large, stock it well
with chrysanthemums.
The Chinese are so fond of this flower
t.Wt with them it annears in architect
ural designs, like the acanthus m ancient
Greece.
The Working-Man's Age.
The wen who go to the top every
where are working-men or their Konn.
A tailor unable to read and write at
twenty-one, ale:-k in a leather store, a
ferryman, a farmer's boy of all work-
all these ha been Presidents of the
United Slates in the present genera
tion. Read the lives of all the great
men of the day. Nine out of ten began
at the bottom and worked their way up.
And yet, in the faco of history and in
the teeth of the bright present, there
are croakers who make their living by
weeping over the working-man and
passing around the hat! The truth is,
this is the working-man's age. He is
the dominant figure, of this generation.
Of course there will always he great
numbers of poor and unlortunate peo
ple. That can not bo helped. But it is
something to know that these classes
are setter off now than people in their
sphere were a century ago. There is
always a dark and a bright side of life,
but as we near the twentieth century
the bright side looms up as an illumina
tion. This is the way to look at it

"TTow does that razor go?" queried 8
well-known tonsorial artist of a re
porter a few days ago as the latter wa
being shaved.
"It pulls a little," was the reply.
"That's just what I thought," uttered
the barber, as he wiped the blade care
fully and proceeded to strop another
which he selected from a number lying
on his shelf.
"Do you know," he continued, "that
razors are just as freaky and change
able as women? Why, that razor I just
nut awav. after a rood honing, will
sometimes shave twenty or thirty men
with only a slap or two over the strop
once in awhile, and perhaps some other
time the edge will be gone alter I nave
shaved two customers. Of course some
neon In claim that the difference is
he.ards accounts for this, and that is in
a Error, measure true, but oftentimes
the t:CB will go back on a fellow while
shavir.- a man whose beard is like sine
"Another peculiar thing about there
is that they will not work for other poo
nle the same as for the man whose cus
torn it is to use them. Now, I would just
as soon think of throwing all those nice
blades -ou see lvinsr on the shelf away
as to let some other man hone or strop
them for me. Waats the reason.' well,
itliesinst here. There are many dif
terent kinds of edsres, and only the man
who is used to the razor can know what
they will stand. He has to study them, of
course, and he will know just what
stroke to make on his oilstone and whal
nasses to make on his strops. The razors
seem to become wauainted with the
touch of the man who constantly handles
them, and work well for him; when, if a
strange barlier should take one, his
work with it would be likely to be
rather poor for some time in fact, until
he had nursed the sensitive blade
around to his ways and his peculiar
touch.
"Which do you consider the best razot
Ij buv the most expensive or the
cheaper grades?"
"I was iust comine to that. No,
don't think that as a rule expensive
razors are much better to use than those
of medium price and quality. Now
there is a razor," said he, taking ont
with a horn handle down f.om the shelf
"that I bought in an auction room foi
twenty-five cents. That was cheap
enough, you must confess, yet cheap
as it was, it is now one of the best razors
ort my shelf, it having turned out ex
ac.vAv as I would wish. This razor is trood
if----
on almost any face, while some others
which I have, while I can shave one man
with them with ease, another man may
sit down in rav chair and that same
razor will pull so that the customer will
cry oat with pain.
"Another interesting fact about them
is that they improve with age, that is,
the temner will improve, and I have bad
razors in my possession which were of
no earthlv use to me. but after laying
them away for a year or two I would pick
them up once more, when I would find
them first-class in every particular."

JEFFERSON ON SNORING.
tttIdenU of an Old-Time Mage Journey
Acroan the AUfichaiiieg.
A short way from town there was a
long hill up which the horsos toiled, so
this gave the inmates of the eoach time
to settle themselves down for a quiet
nap. One snore after another announced
the accomplishment of this feat, and in
a few minutes at least six out of the
nine passengers were oblivious of their
miserable condition. I never before had
si) fine an opportunity t study the
philosophy of snoring. A large, fat man
opposite me had a short, angry snore;
A one time he snored so loudly that he
wake himself up, and he had the impu
dence to glaro about at the company as
though he hoped that they would not
make that noise ag.iin. The old lady
who was crushing me up in tie corner
snored deeply and contentedly. Some
one off in a dark corner, whom I could
not see, had a genial way of joining in,
as though he snored merely to oblige
the passengers; but the grand, original
muscian of the party sat opposite me.
I never heard any thing approaching
him, either for quality or for compass.
It was a back-action snore that began in
a bold agitato movement, suddenly
brought r.p with a jerk and terminated
in a low whistle. As the coach steadily
moved up the hill the band was in full
play. The summit gained, there wa3 a
sharp craok of the whip, the horses
started, and as every body was jerked
violently backward, the snoring gave
place to oaths and pshaws and jolting
about. As soon, however, as we got
used to this sensation, the chorus began
again; and as I was quite overcome and
tired, I joined in until the coach came
to a full stop at the stable where the
horses were to he chanced. The sun
now rose and came in at all sorts of

"THE SOCIAL CHAPERONE.
A Syntem of Espionage That In a Dead
Giveaway to Our Olrlx.
fs it not rather nonsensical that a
young lady in Washington society must
have a permanent appendage Dy way oi
an ehlerlv woman to accompany her on
nor walks, drives and rides, and share
with her all the calls and attentions of
her centlemen friends! This late inno
vation of the chaperone is the aping of
social condition wholly different from
our . own. English society is based ort
heredity and privileges of birth. En
glish aristocratic government divides
the people Into classes. it creates
castes, which we are supposed to de
spise. English social life from the cradle-
to the grave is one unceasing effort to
maintain all the rank one is born with
and prevent those of lower caste from
crawling up a step higher. 1 his creates
Enerlish exclusiveness, which American
shoddyism loves to imitate. This En
glish idea of exclusiveness is the secret
of home training for all who can afford
it. It explains the tutor and governess
idea, the herding, as it were, of the
famiiv under the ancestral tree. In
consequence the English girl grows up
with an unusual idea of the importance
of her family. She is well instructed in
hooks and deportment, vet lacking the ;
confidence, ease and grace of a woman
who has been taught to lean upon ner
own strength. She is innocent, awk
ward and ignorant, shy, gullible ana ex
tremely susceptible. She needs a chap
erone or guardian.
With our public school system and
mixed colleges, backed up by good re
publican ideas oi equality, politically
iallv. our bovB Lnd irirls come up
on a more natural idea of companion
ship. They are from infancy snarers
and partakers in study and pleasure.
Both boys and girls are better for prop
erly regulated and guarded association.
Boys are softened, made more gallant
and less selfish; girls are less suscept
ible, more graceful and more womanly.
A boy with a good sister, a girl with a
good brother, are not only better, but
more prudent and polished members of
Society.
Nine out of every ten American girls
now affecting a chaperone come up to
the debutante age with a crowd of play
fellows and school-boy friends. If she
is a Western girl wo will count the ten.
She played with dolh and at dolls with
them, jumped the ropo, played tag and
blind-man's hulf on the school play
ground. She had her boy sweethearts,
too, and she will never find a more
callant kniirht than the boy who adored
her chiefly by glances, and caramels t;
the extent of his income. She competed
with hoys for school standing, and ex
pended her sympathy on them when she
heat them. All along the lino the
American girl is trusted till fortune
launches her into ultra-fashionable so
ciety, when the bars are put up and her
gentlemen friends must yield to bore
doom, espionage, and a double expense
for the pleasure of her society.
A chaperone in society here means
one of three things that the girl is
badly trained or irredeemably silly;
that the men who visit her are ill-bred
or wholly vicious, or that she is a victim
to a foolish and unreasonable affecta
tion. The chaperone prevails in France.
Does that country show a higher level
of morality? Does the espionage system
any where increase feminine self-re
spect? Does it elevate or degrade." Does
it make women strong or weak? Does it
prevent or encourage intrigue? Are
women stronger, mentally or morally,
when marriage cuts the chain?
The typical American girl is not a
wood violet. Sho dances, plays tennis
and swings on a horizontal bar. Sho
studies philosophy and political econo
my, reads Browning, Spencer and In
gersoll; has decided views of church,
stato and marriage. She discusses suf
frare aud cherishes philanthropic
schemes; she has literary, musical and
artistic aspirations. The American girl
is, or should be, a thinking, self-reliant
woman, to whom a hawk-eyed
chaperone is as unnecessary as the fifth
wheel to a wagon. The chaperone In
American society is an affectation not
creditable to our common sense or a
wholesome civilization. Washington.

Owing to continued emigration and to
