Some holiness fanatios of Indiana
have set September 15, as the day
on which the world will come to
an end, and are making their ar
rangements accordingly.. They
claim to have a divine presenti
ment to that effect. .
A good point for business, men
to bear in mind when writing

T.ie latest bulletn, just issued,
by the Oregon Fruit Union says
that "the eastern markets still re

more favorable for the shipper."
That means,, we suppose, that the

A new law in New York goes in

who handle telephone "messages.
Under it provisions any telephone
employe who improperly .reveals a
message may be fined $1000 or im
prisoned for six months 'and the

address to his readers gives evi
dence of a contrite heart and re
turning sanity r "My debt of grat
itude to those who have done all
they could to sustain the, paper is

attending to American interests In

The Kuiifrer, which sailed from La
Libcrtad recently for Corinto, Nicara-
frim. is assigned to the west ooaat of
Central America, where rtwolntionary
onthrealH are so frequent, while the
corvette henrsiirifo, now en route from

soon to join them. , -
-The North Atlantic or home station
has nominally five, hut actually only
one vessel in commission to its credit,
for the San Francisco Ib on her way to

bomme-o (which can hardly be called
a "home'1 port, -although within the
lines of the station), and the llachias is
destined, for China. The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius is therefore likely to
' be the sole war vessel left for service
on the eastern coast of the United
States, and the practicability of the
.Vesuvius as on effective battleship is
in serious doubt. At the navyyardat
Mare Xsland, Cel., the old Mohican is
fitting for sea service, presumably in
the South Pacific. The coast defense
.vessel Monterey is also at Mare Island.
TEXAN. .HOSPITALITY.

"The latch -string hangs out" ex-pressed-the
hospitality of the southern
frontier in the days "before the war."
1 f a traveler rode up before the fence
thut separated the log cabin from the
road he. was greeted hy "'Light,
stranger, High t!" - Without this saln-tatiou-no
one dismounted, but it was
rarely withheld. Sir. Williams, in his
recent book, "Sam Houston," thus de
scribes -the impulse of hospitality,
which made every traveler a guest
during the early settlement of Texas;
The. traveler who rode up to the
front fence was instantly invited to
alight. "His horse was . staked out or
hobbled, to feed on the prairie grass
and tue visitor snt down to exchange
the news with his host The coffee
mill nan set going, if there were any of
. the precious grains in the house, and
the hopper in the hollow log to grind
ing the eorii. The venison or bear meat
was put on the coals and the fishcake
baked, .
, After the nieal and the evening pipe
the visitor Stretohod himself on a buf
falo robe on the floor with tho picm
bers of the family and slept the sleep
oi Health ana mugue, in the morning
tho response- to any inquiry as to the
charge was: "You can pay me by com
ing again."
The story that a certain hospitable
settlor used to waylay travelers on the
road and compel them to visit him at
the muzzle of a double-barreled shot
gun wnsonlyn liumoronsexaggeration
of the instinct for hospitality which
characterized the community.
The visitor was a living newspaper,
who brought tiie only news obtain:
able, and was a welcome relief to the
mopotony and loneliness of the wilder'
ness.

According to the "Gotha Almanac,"
which has just been Issued for 1894. the
queen of England has reigned longer
than any other ruler in the world, hav
ing ascended the throne in 1837. Next
to her in point of time are Emperor
J?raneis Joseph of Austria and Fred
erick, the gram duke of Uaden. The
monarchs who have reigned the short
est time are Prince Friederioh of Wal:
deck and Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg-Ootha.
The oldest monarch, accord
ing to the "Almanac," is the pope,
who is more than eighty-three years of
age. The grand duke of Lunerabourg
and the king of Denmark, respectively
seventy-six and seventy-five years of
age, stand next to him in this regard.
Grand nuke Karl Alexander, who
lives In Weimar, is fourth in point of
age. and Queen Victoria, with her seventy-four
years, is the fifth oldest mon

are the little queen of the Nether

the Now York World. There are other
deadly missiles which the anarchists
have learned to make, and the ordinary

THE IDEAL TAILOR.
Requisites of a Terleflt Wlelrier uf the
HolMotM tt'itl Ttino Line.
Tha ideal merchant tailor should bo
a good-looking man, for the same ron
ton thut n meritorious book nhould br
handsomely bound; he should -be- woll
dressed, because a good-looking maa
who Is not well dressed, unless ho can
not afford to dress woll. seems ungrate
ful for the physical gifts with which
nature has endowed him, and because a
tailor who ia not well dressed insults
his trade and advertises himself as an
alien to it except iiuauutaUyi and he
should bo obliging and of ple.asiag.nun-'
ners, bjcaiv." if ho is not his nature and,
presence will bu as completely out of
harmony with tho character and ditto
of his business as tho tooting of a tin
fish horn in a string band.
Ho should be well educated, brainy,
and thoroughly familiar with business
usages, for unless he is ho can under
stand the requirements of his trade no
more than a liodsarrier can the phlogis
ton of the chemist Stahl; and he should
be in every thought and instinct an
artist, for only an artist con appreci
ate, much loss worthily exemplify, the
grace and beauty that are possible to
clothes.
He should be familiar with his trade
from waxing a length of Bowing silk to
properly trying on a coat, for this kind
of familiarity is as sure to oroato confi
dence in and respect for his ability, as
too much of another kind is certain to
breed contempt :
lie should do business in-au elegantly
finished and furnished store, containing
eomfqrtable dresBing-rooms and every
necessary convenience for his custom
ers, and should carry a cholco if not a
not a very large stock of goods; for his
establishment as well as himself should
suggest comfort, art and refinement,
and be in every way in perfect harmony
with tho moat cultivated taste of the
time.
He should be, in short, a gentleman,
a thorough master of hia business and I
an artist The ideal tailor, then, would j
seem to be an ideal man who is very
comfortably fixed; for Ids trade is an
ideal trade, able to exert innumerable I
refining inUuences that cunnot fall to
benefit mankind and give to civilization
a polish and charm. Sartorial Art
