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.

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

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

" 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

"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

it you want eu to uo it."

"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. James Otin, in Har
