Tho Printer. Tho printer, children, Is a patron of tho'rtrl nrosorvnlivo of till nrts, but ho frequently luia tho art of galling n poor writer into n pickle. Tho printer sets whilo standing mid Htantls whilo sotting. Tho printer in not usually n wealthy person, but generally has u quoin or two about 1dm. He Komctimcs does very noor work, but all his work, good or bad, Is justifi able. Tho printer does not often carry a cane, but you will almost always find him with a nliek in his hand. Some limits ho is a ntiek himself. The printer is a materialist. All his thoughts arc upon matter. Most men like to have things como out Hqiiuro utllio end of each day, but the printer hates to bo obliged to bring his work out even. This sounds odd, but it is even ho. Though correcting his errors every day, tlio printer may all the time be growing worse. Though a perfect Jack Spruit in Ids fondness for lean meat, tho printer never object to fat. lie is often a profound reader, but al ways dislikes solid matter. The printer is like tho actor in tho fact that ho hates to see a beggarly array of empty boxes. The printer may not bo a verso to po etry, but lie detests pi. The good printer is known by his form. So careful is ho of his form that he al ways locks It up. Though not always correct, tho pnnt ' or's work Is invariably done by rule. Tho printer is a very inoffensive indi vidual, but is quite clever with tho shoot ing stick. The printer is not satisfied with think ing that his work is complete. lie al ways wants a proof of it. Tho printeris your true man of letters, (hough ho may not bo a literary man. The printer is an upright man, but ho is frequently hcoii about tho galleys. Tho printer used to bo a very bashful sort of fellow, but now that females are employed in printing olUces ho will set up with a girl W evenings a week. Tho tvpe.s of tho human nico are scat tered all over tho earth, and tho printer distributes his types in all directions. The printer is not necessarily a sport ing character, but his form may fre quently bo seen in tho chase. Tliq, printor is often beside himself. That is to say, ho frequently stands bo flido his frame. Like the lawyer, tho printer is depend ent upon his eases for a livelihood. When a printer has finished his job, he works it oil'. Ho reckons his work by the token; by this token may you know that ho gives you full mciisurc. Much moro might bo said of tho printer, but this must do for to-day. Lot us oloso by hoping that when ho becomes dead matter an imposing stone may bo erected to his memory. Boston Transcript. diary nourishes and provoker. Tho law courts recently, in a jdstor State, furn ished a striking illustration. An un happy lady in Chicago, whoso husband was often absent, resorted to the diary among othor beguilements. Into its pure pages she poured, from day to day, tho overflow of a full heart; aud when there was a little space left at tho bot tom of a page she Idled it in with brief, but moro or less soulful, allusions to the masculine friends who tried to cheer Her lonely hours. With that depravity which Gall Hamilton has assured us w innate in all inanimate, things, this diary fell into the hands of tho home-reluming husband, and the result was its production in a divorco suit for the in formation of the court and the delecta tion of counsel and witnesses. Tho fire of love lias gone out upon a domestic hearth where once it glowed and sparkled; a happy home has been brok en up; two hearts that fondly boat as ono have become estranged and now beat wide asunder; and all because of :i contemptible little diary Hint probably didn't cost moro than ton cents, and as likely as not wiw closed with a simple "tuck." , It is nainful. as we intimated, to con demn tho product of a business which seems to bo legitimate, and which en gages tiio attention and capital of men who aro apparently honorable and well meaning. It is doubly painful in this case, because it is the harvest timo of the year for the special product under condemnation. Hut when a duty Is clear it must be performed, however painful. Detroit Free I'rcss. Youths' Department. Tho Dangerous Diary. Tho conscientious journalist is so often compelled to condemn departments of trade, which appear on tho surface en tirely reputable and propor and tho duty is so unpleasant, that ho naturally shrinks fromovery now requirement of that character. lint when iho obliga tion stares him unmistakably in the face it cannot bo evaded. Thero is the diary business, for oxam plo. On its face it is not only harmless out exceedingly useful. To the unro llectlng mind it is simply tho business of furnishing tho people with tho means of noting, methodically and accurately, tho flight of time and the memorable inci dent that mark it. To such it would socm as if the makers and publishers -woro public benefactors, instilling prin ciples of order and inculcating lessons of prudenco and economy. And thero is isomo foundation for this theory. When tho child uses tho little volume to mark tho daily cxpondituro for tally or mar bles or corn balls; when tho careful housewife chocks her butcher and grocer and milk-man by tho entries therein, and utilizes the remaining space to record snob facts as "it snowed to-day," or "sister Nancy's baby came down with tho measols;" or when tho youth fast verging into manhood records upon the earlior of its puro pages his glowing resolutions, leaving tho latter pages blank to show what came of those resolutions; then the diary is a useful and instructive work. ,Kut alas! it is not confined to such beautiful and noble uses. On tho con trary it is an incessant temptation, in tho hands of tho great mass, to indiscre tion, not to say wrong. And for this it must bo ruthlessly condemned in splto of its innocuousngss in the hands of tho fow. Not ono person in fifty, probably, can look upon a piece of blank paper with out a strong tomptation to mark on it. ltulo tho piece of paper, print a neat date at tho ton and bind it up with other pieces similarly treated In short, make a diary of itand the temptation bo comes absolutely irresistible. To lot tho blank for "January 10," or "Septem ber f," or any other blank, go unused, seems to the average diary-owner ospo oially if it is a liiav, as most diary-owners are a crimlnaf waste. In sheer con scientiousness slid vii'ldM to tlin timiMtit. lion, and either fills the blanks when sho has nothing to write, or far moro fre quently fills thorn with soul-eommunlngs and heart secrets which she would perish before communicating to a living being, but which sho thereby puts in tho direct way of being so communicated. To an aotivo imagination it will not bo difiioultto embody the manifold ovils whiohmay--imy, which must result from Aids unfortunate habit which the baneful Fashion Notes. Shirring is out of favor. Veils are not worn with pokes. The word chudda means shawl. Drown furs aro restored to favor. Dlack pearls arc worn in mourning. Pointed trains supersede square ones. New trays for cards aro made of plush. Hangs must not extend noross tho temples. ' Scrap baskets aro shaped'like antique vases. Soft pillows of plush are labelled "lean on mo." Mother Hubbard dolls.aro the favor ite this year. Dreast feathers rival ostrich tips for small bonnets. Polonaises much bunched up aro parts of now costumes. New embroidered "splashers" aro mounted on rings nnd rods. Antique heads, with jewelled eyes, are tho clasps for bracelets. Tho now Oriental laco has tho long stitches of India embroidery. Gilded camp stools, covered with em broidered scarfs, aro used for foot rests. Ladies' rings have tho stones set around tho linger, instead of length wise. A bow of wide ribbon with long ends hanging inclined is added to tho caps of nurses. The absence of all jewelry is consid ered in better taste than an abundance of it. Plush linings for cloaks are liked be cause thoy aro light and almost as warm as fur. Tho cat's eye, with a white streak across It, is a favorite stono for gentle men's scarf pins or rings. Slender Vcnqtian chains aro tho only gold chains now worn around tho neck With pendants. Sleeves slightly gathered into tho arm hole are more stylish than those mado with pulls. Satin fronts of dresses aro in honey comb pattern, with u head at each cor ner of the design. Dlack velvet suits, with largo white embroidered collars and black silk stock ings, aro worn by small boys. Adulteration of Food. The prevalence of paralysis has caused considerable comment in our city. Three or four prominent citizens have died re cently from paralysis in ono form or an other. A gentleman well posted on this subject called our attention to this a fow days sinco and remarked that paralysis resulted in many cases from tho use of adulterated food. This gentleman re marked that a largo quantity of the Hour, sirup, lard, sugar and cofl'eo now used dailv was adulterated, and that nearly all the candy made, oxcopt rock candy, was also adulterated. If this bo true tho prevalence of paralysis can bo easily ac counted for. Wo do not vouch for what the gentleman says, but it is a subject Unit will do to investigate Ono thing wo do know to bo truo, and that is that something causes tho disease, and if loading articles of food aro adulterated, it can bo very easily traced to that source. A loading physician, to whoso attention this matter lias been brought, says that ho had no doubt whatever that tho orov- alenco of paralysis now could bo traced to the uso of adulterated food. It is an injury or disease, ho says, of tho nervous centers, and acts on a human being just as the use of inimiro and worthless lu bricating oil docs on machinery. It clogs up tho system and the longer it is used tho more certain it is to finally ren der tho machinery utterly useless. It would bo woll for our Legislature to take sonio stops to look into this ndultcratiou of food. If it is carried on to ono-tenth tho extent intimated above, it should bo prevented by ponal laws at oneo. It is a subject that consumers should carof ully inspect, and in every instance whore there is adulteration of any kind to turn their forces against it. Atlanta Consti tution.

AMATKUK INDIANS. " It's a shame, that's what it is, and I don't think mothers have got any right to mako boys eiirht years old tend little dried-up-looking babies that can't do anything but cry." Kddie Damard's voice expressed tho sympathy he felt for Ids cousin, Charley Harnden, when ho found him caring for tho baby on that particular Saturday afternoon they had counted on for put ting tho finishing touches to a large Kite which it was believed would outsail any other in tho vilhigo. "Hoys wasn't made to sit 'round holdin' babies, and I just wish Doctor Abbott hadn't brought this one, 'cause it's just done nothing but plague mo ever since it come;" and Charley almost shook his little baby brother, who was sucking his thumb as contentedly as if ho hadu' tan idea how sadly ho was in tho way. "I'll toll you what wo might do, and then babies wouldn't bother us any more," said Kddie, as he jumped to his feet suddenly. " We might turn Injuns, like two I read of in a book Sam Basset lent mo. Wo could be rog'lnr Injun chiefs, an' go out to Chickcommon woods to live." At first Charley was delighted witli the idea, and he danced around at great risk of. upsetting the baby entirely; but a sudden thought clouded his joy. "Injuns have wigwams, an' squaws, an' ponies, an' wo can't got any of them." ' "Yes wo can; we can catch Tom Downey's old blind horse an1 play it was a poii', an' you ain't smart if you don't know whore to catch a squaw.'' "Where?" asked Charley, breath lessly. "Ain't thero your sister Nellie? Can't we get a lot of grasshoppers an' coax her out behind the meetin'-h'ouso to seo them? Anj then can't wc catch her an' tie her, air drag her by the arms up to flirt wiMle Jnat liK'rt mi. r,itu,iu ilrip'' W.W .. WW.J, J..UV A..VW ....J A..J.....J IIUI " (JI course. Air we coukl bed-miilts for a camp." "es, an' we'll name you Biting Tiger, an' I'll bo Big Thunder, an' Nel lie can be Moon-face, just as it was in tho book." For some moments tho boys sat in silent bliss. Then after a time a serious doubt crept into Biting Tiger's heart, and he asked: "But what will we do for tilings to 'eat?" "Things to eat?" echoed Eddie. " Chiefs don't bother about such things; thoy just send tho squaws out to get it, 'cause that's what squaws are for." " My! but won't mother bo scared when sho finds out that sho got an Injun 'to hold the baby?" said Charley, think ing with delight that in his mother's fear lie should bo more than repaid for all tho trouble the little fellow had caused him. "But then sho won't, be so awfully fright oiyd, for ho ain't got anything to scalp, it you want eu to uo it." .. iir .ill l . irrtt". artrtirk O"" ". A olothes-pin firm at Denmark, Mo., will uso 1,000 cords of birch next year. "We can wait till ho grows, an' then scalp him 'most every day," said Kddie, consolingly. Then came tho question of how they were to get away, for, valiant chiefs as thoy woro, they could hardly drop tho baby on tho floor and run. "I'll toll you what we can do," said Eddie. "I'll go homo an' get some ropes to tic Nellie with, an' then I'll go for tho grasshoppers. When you hoar me holler you send Nellie over, an' put the baby in tho cradle, and como over lickcty-split, bo's to hold tho squaw's mouth if sho sots up a yell." Big Thunder started for his mother's clothes-line and somo grasshoppers, while Biting Tiger sat holding tho baby ns quietly as if.no had never thought of being an Indian. Surely thoro novor woro two chiefs on tho eve of starting in tho Indian busi ness so fortunate as these two were, for in a short time after Big Thunder's de parture Mrs. Harndon took tho baby, and Nellio seated herself on tho door stim to play with her doll. Charley told her of tho captive grass hoppers sho would seo if sho went with him; and clasping her doll firmly in lior arms, sho started for tho meeting-house near by, whilo Charley followed, ready to spring upon her as soon as ho should seo his brother eliief. Eddlo was prepared for tho first act in his new life. Ho had armed himself with a long carving-knifo and fully ten yards of clothes-lino, so that ho was ready for any desperate attempt at oscapo tho squaw might mako. All unsuspecting tho horrible fate that awaited her, Nellio approached tho fatal spot, when Big Thunder sprang out, winding tho rope around her body a dozen times. "Why don't you cry an' screech an' kick?" asked Charley, thoroughly dis- " W,hat for?" asked Nellie, in sur prise. "Why, 'causo we're Injuns, an you're a squaw we've caught, an' now wo' re goin to drag you oft to the woods," replied Eddie, brandishing his knife. "I don't want to bo a squaw;" and Nullio now showed signs of making ns much of an outcry as tho boys could have wished for. " But you must, and that's all there is about it," said Eddie, sternly; nnd then ho took hold of the ends of the rope, as lie shouted to Charley: "Hold your hands over her mouth whilo 1 pull her along." Charley hardly had time to reply be fore Big Thunder, with the clothes-line drawn taut over his shoulder, started ahead with a force that threatened to overthrow both captive and captor. For II vo minutes thero was a thrill ing and exciting wcenc as the chief dashed along, drugging behind him tho squaw, who was only half-gagged by Biting Tiger. At tho expiration of that timo Big Thunder tumbled over a log, striking the ground with a force that caused ids nose to bleed, while Nellio, being So sud denly released, fell backward, carrying Biting Tiger with her. , Big Thunder began to cry, but realiz ing that Indians should not be so partic ular about a little thump on tho noso, urged his companion to "como on," while ho forced tho captive ahead again. By tho timo they reached the first growth of trees that marked the border of the woods the newly-made Indians were feeling very warm, and decidedly uncomfortable as to what their mothers might be able to do in tho way of cap turing them. Poor Moon-face was crying as if her little heart wsis breaking; but it was not noisy grief, and it made her captives look at each other very guiltily, since it showed how much sulloring they were causing. Tho first halt was made when thoy reached what they supposed to be tho very heart of the forest, and Nellie was tied to a fence that had evidently been placed there for the accommodation of Indians with captives. She had recov ered from her jrief at being dragged from home, aim now played contented ly with her doll, while tho boys tried to niuko a wigwam. But it was not long before thoy learned how difficult it was to cut down trees with a carving-knife, and by the timo thoy had succeeded in gutting about a dozen small branches to gether thoy were decidedly hungry, "We've got to look 'round and find something to cat," said Eddie, after ho had withstood the pangs of hunger as long as possible. "I thought the squaw had to do that;" and Charley looked up in surprise that they woro obliged to do any work, after all the trouble of finding and catching a squaw "So they do, after they get broke in, but I don't spose Nellio could do much toward killing bears and decrs until aft er sho gets kind of used to it." It was sad to think they had a squaw who was not accustomed to the busi ness, and with a sigh Charley released the captive, that all might go in search of food. It was a long, weary tramp which they had, and it seemed that it must bo nearly supper-time, when they suddenly heard a fearful noiso among the bushes, as if some enormous animal was coming directly toward them. Then both the Indians turned pale with terror; for what could they do in tho way of figliU ing a bear, with only ono carving-knife between them? Only for a moment did thoy face tho terrible danger, and then both Big Thun der and Biting Tiger started for home as fast as their legs could cany them, whilo their late captive ran behind, imploring not to be left alone. It was a cowardly flight for two Indians with a captivo to make, but tho ferocious animal ap peared to be pursuing, and thoy could do no less. When thoy reached Charley's homo, where Mrs. Harnden could bo suen in tho sitting-room with tho baby in her amis, Eddie's clothes wero covered with dirt and tho blood that had fallen from his noso; Charley was quite as dirty, although not a bloody as his brother chief, and Nellie's once clean whito dress was completely ruined. Tho ferocious animal followed them up to tho very door of the house, and then it looked moro like Benny Cushing's pet calf than it did like a bear. That night, after the two Indians had settled matters with their respective mothers, both Big Thunder and Biting Tiger wisoly concluded that tho Indian business was too painful over to bo in dulged in again.

Most of tho lands wero located in what Is now Gar rett County, and wero only valuable for the timber growing upon thorn. Tho heirs, being unable to soil, took no steps to secure their titles, aud it is alleged that the present owners hold under escheats issued upon false assertions that thero woro no living heirs. Tho rapid advance in tho value of property in Garrott County lias called attention to tho titles of tho present holders, and a wldo field of litigation is in prospect.
