REMEDY:
I S H A L L never forget that June
morning when Nell told us.
I was beating batter pudding£-the
cooking always fell to my share. Nell
and Deb were finishing the week's
ironing. The big lilac bush was in full
bloom ontside the kitchea window, and
some of its purple petals drilted in
upon the old dimity skirt Nell was
ironing. She had to brush it off, I
remember, with her pretty, slender
fingers. Deb and I always tried to
save Nell's hands and do the rougher
work ourselves. Why not? Sbe was
the youngest and our pet, always.
Suddenly Nell sat down her iron
with a clatter and electrified us.
" Girls," she said " the editor of The
Orb has accepted another of my stories,
and I'm going to New York !"
" What, to stay ? ' cried Deb, and I
dropped in a chair, speechless.
"Yes," said Nell, firmly. " I have
it all arranged. I asked father's leave
and made him promise not to tell you
till eyerything was settled, because I
knew you girls wouldn't like it. But
the editor of The Orb has been very
encouraging and you know I've had
some work accepted by other paper?,
and I feel sure I can keep; myself, at
least, and I hope, of course " —her
eyes shining—" it will lead to better
things! I wrote to Cousin Libby, and
she has explained to me how she lives
—sbe illustrates,you know, for weekly
papers, I think—and she has rented a
room for me in the apartment build-ings
where she lives herself. Fancy !
She does all her own cooking on a
little gas stove in her. room 'pigging'
as she calls it—and I am to do the
same for myself. You can live for
very little that way," Iearr edly, " even
in New York!"
" But, Nell, yon can't cook !'' I said.
Somehow ray dazed mind fastened on
the least of the difficulties in my darl-ing's
path.
" Well, I can learn," she cried, gay-ly,
" or you can teach me, Em, in the
next fortnight. I am not going till
the 19th."
I saw her glance at me anxiously as
she mentioned the dale and then—I
broke down and so did Deb, and pres-ently
we were all three clinging to-gether
and crying—into my bowl of
batter!
What had father been thinking of,
I wondered. But then he never could
bear to cross Nell any more than Deb
or I could. And so from the first I
felt that it was settled aud that noth-ing
I could say or do would alter it.
But, oh, my heart was heavy !
By and by Deb said : " Nell, what
will Morris say ?" The same thought
had been in my mind, but I could not
put it into words and I was rather
vexed at Deb. But we all knew that
Morris loved Nell, though she would
have nothing to say to him. It hurt
me strangely even then that Morris
should be slighted—Morris, so good
and brave and strong and tender and
steady—yes, and clever, too— that any
girl might have been proud of his loye!
Nell only tossed her pretty head and
said emphatically: "Ob, Morris!"
And after a while she and Deb began
ironing again, and I went to the cellar
for more eggs and made fresh batter.
And that was how Nell told us.
The next fortnight was a busy one,
though it passed, as people say, like a
dream. Miss Partridge came up from
the village to help us put Nell's ward-robe
in order, father crated the set of
mahogany furniture which had been
mother's when she married and which
Nell was to take with her, and I got
together the best and smallest of my
kitchen tins and saucepans and packed
them in a wodden box, which was to
serye afterward, with shelves fitted in-side
it, Nell declared, as her " kitch-en."
How anxious I felt about the
" pigging " arrangements and what
caretul instructions I gave, or tried to
give, in coffee and omelet making!
Morris came and went, looking, oh! so
grave, and Nell's resentment of his at
titude was hot and showed itself in the
brusquerie with which she treated him.
What passed between them the last
evening I never knew. They were to-gether
for a long time in the garden
and after they had parted Nell brush-ed
past me crying and Morris, coming
to say " good night," looked white and
stern. My heart ached for him. But
he came with us to the station the next
morning and tried to talk cheerfully
to Deb and me after we had said good-by
to our dear girl and watched the
train steam off.
were our only excitement, and though
they were cheerful and amusing, with
many bright descriptions of New York
life " from the pigging side," as she
called it, it seemed to me that an un-dertone
of discouragement ran through
them. However, with the autumn
things began to look better. Father's
health improved and Nell wrote that
sbe had been offered a position on the
staff of one of the papers she had been
writing for. Morris began to be about
the house again as he used to be, and
with him came Jack Herrick, a young
fellow whom he had taken into part-nership
and who evidently admired
Deb. Morris rarely asked after Nell,
but I noticed that when her name was
mentioned he never missed a word that
was said, and at Christmas, in the box
that we expressed to her, he sent a
small parcel. Nell wrote back:
" Thank Morris for his pretty gift."
After Christmas Morris and Jack came
still oftener. We went sleigh-riding
together—we four—and bobing on fhe
hill. Sometimes I used to wonder how
Deb and I and Morris could be so gey
and lightheaited with Nell away.
By Easter Dsb and Jack were en-geged.
After that—well, the five months
that followed were—what were they ?
Ah, how happy I was ! And yet how
wretched! How I refused to look in
the future and lived in feverish excite-ment
from day to day, hoping, fearing,
dreading, longing for what I would not,
could not, plainly face ! Morris was
growing to love me—a little, not as he
could love, but still a little—Morris,
whom I idolized. And Nell ?
The end came one day in Septem.
ber, when we went to the woods for
golden rod. Deb and Jack had wan-dered
off and I bad torn my hand—
my stubby, work-worn hand, so unlike
Nell's—on a straggling blackberry
vine. Morris had bandaged it for me
and as I looked up our eyes met. He
slipped his arms around me so tender-ly,
and " Eoa, little woman," he began.
I think the terrible aching sense of
loneliness which has been with me at
that moment. For with the sound of
his voice the blindness I had wilfully
encouraged fell from me and I saw
quite plainly that thi3 was not to be.
But I rested my head for a moment on
his shoulder—I could not help it—and
let him speak. When he had finished
I said, quietly : " Morris, dear, I think
you are mistaken. I always believed
that you and Nell "
" Em, Em," he cried, " do you think
me so base? Can you fancy "
" Hush!" I said. And just then

Interesting Notes and Comments on
Persons, Places and Things.
VOL. ir, No. 1. Which means that
for the period of one year continuously
these " Notes and Comments on Per-sons,
Places and Things" have ap-peared
to the readers of the RECORD,
with what degree of success is left for
them to determine. It is not as diffi-cult
an undertaking as might be sup-posed
to prepare several columns of
matter weekly under the title that
favored my fancy, but to write a week-ly
collection on subjects that might in-terest
all the readers of the RECORD—
there's the rub. It has proved an
interesting diyersion to me, and I hope
the same may be said of those who see
fit to read them. For the past eighteen
years it has been my pleasure to appear
before you at various times in cold
type, but never consecutively until the
past year, for any great length of time.
If, however, these notes prove of in-terest
to any of the readers of the
REOORD I shall take pleasure in con-tinuing
them.
* * *
THE newspapers of to-day have
grown to such wonderful proportions
that the average man does not find
time to read them thoroughly. All he
finds time to do is to skip ovei them
casually and read only what strikes
his fancy. This is made possible by
the classification of news in such a way
that one gifted in the art can skim a
newspaper in a very short space of
time and not miss anything of import-ance.
All this is made possible in the
preparation of a great daily, involving
an immense amount of labor. The
public has but a faint idea how a news-paper
is made and able to lay before
its readers the news of the past twenty-four
hours from all quarters of the
globe. It is only by a concentration
of work that this is made possible. A
single newspaper could not do it, as
ihe cost would be too great, but by
coalition with each other, the cost is
brought down to a minimum. A spe-cial
correspondent in every city in the
world for a single newspaper would not
be possible on account of the enormous
expense involved, but when this ser-vice
is employed by a large majority
of the daily papers, the cost of gather-ing
the news from all quarters becomes
a secondary consideration.

That was a dreary summer. It was
very dry and hot, and nothing did well
in the garden. Father was ailing, and
Deb and I dropped into a dull round
of daily duties. Morris came seldom.
He was very busy, he told us, with his
increasing law practice, which was
extending itself through all of the
neighboring yillages. Nell's letters
Ddb and Jack came up and we strolled
home.
All through the night I lay awake.
In the morning came Nell's letter.
" Oh, darling Em," she wrote " I am
so terrible unhappy! And I cannot
keep it to myself any longer. I am a
failure, Em—a failure! and I did so in
hope for success! Oh, I do not mean
that I cannot earn my living ; I still
hope to do that, but—I see it at last—
quite plainly—I shall never, never rise
above mediocrity, never make a name,
never be more than a hack writer,
scrambling for my bread and butter
and thankful if I can make it. And I
had such dreams, Em, such plans, such
ambitions ! I thought myself clever !
Clever! 1 am a fool! I gave up—well,
never mind ! It is a relief to tell you,
dear."
There wa3 more, but when I had
read so far my mind was made up. I
had money in the bank—enough—that
mother had left me ; and I went to
Morris and told him that I wanted him
to take me to New York. I said I
gathered from Nell's letter that she
was not feeling well, and I wanted to
bring her home for awhile to rest. I
spoke with quiet frankness, as a sister
might. He looked at me strangely.
We started the next night.
It was early on a sultry September
morning when we reached New York.
can still see the unswept, half-desert-ed
streets, and smell the odor of stale
vegetables which greeted us. Morris
took me to breakfast somewhere—I for-get
where—and then we rode in a
cable car for what seemed to me an in-terminable
distance. At last we reached
the Windermere, a tall dingy apart-ment
house, near the river, I remem-ber,
walked through a dingy hall to a
more dingy elevator and were guided
to the fifth floor through passages din-gier
still, to Nell's door. I trembled
and pushed Morris in front of me.
" Come in !" cried her dear voice, and
—there she stood. Thinner, paler a
little careworn, but it seemed to me
more beautiful than ever. She did not
see me, and Morris—forgot me.
" N e l l ! " he cried, and opened wide
his arms.
" Morris !" she answered, and like a
tired child, crept close to him.
And so it ended as I—ye?, as I hoped
it would end.
THE two great forces that are em-ployed
in gathering and supplying the
daily papers with the news are the As-sociated
Press and the United Press
Association. The former is the pioneer
in the business, and has been supplying
the news for the daily papers for many
years, just how many I do not know,
while the latter was the outcome of
a war with the Associated Press, start-ed
about a dozen years ago, headed by
Chas. A. Dana, of the New York Sun,
who is the recognized head of the
United Press. It is a matter of dis-pute
which offers the best service, as
there has been continual war between
the two eyer since the infant was born.
This war has led to a great deal of un-reliable
news being put upon the mark-et,
and many " fake " stories have been
published from time to time, the
foundation for which never existed.
This is a gross libel on the public
which will sooner or later be resented.
The public pay for the news and have
a right to it, but they don't want any
fake stories that call for a denial the
next day.
* * *
PERSONALLY I feel inclined toward
the United Press, not on account of
its news service alone, but from the
fact that its entrance into the field as
a newsgatherer and disseminator broke
into the ranks of one of the most
tyrannical monopolies of the century.
Before the birth of the United Press it
was almost an impossibility for a new
daily paper to get the news while it
was news. Money alone could not buy
its way into the Associated Pres3, as it
was necessary to get the consent of all
the newspapers printed in the same
city before it could enter the Associ-ated
Press. This practically barred out
any new paper, as it was not at all like-ly
that a new paper would be looked
upon favorably by its contemporaries,
and it was a suicidal undertaking to
enter the field of newspaperdom inde-pendent
of a news bureau. There
came a change though when the United
Press beame a rival of the Associated.
It was no longer necessary to bow to
the will of the parent body, but the
news bureau of the United Press was
at the service of all who desired it.
Gradually the new venture grew until
the Associated Press began to fear its
rival, as frequently announcements
were made of old established papers
dropping the services of the Associated
Press and joining the new association.
and United Press have each an office
in every large city. The news is then
sent to the nearest office by their news-gatherers,
who are to be found in all
the cities of the world. In the city of
Lancaster, for instance, the correspon-dent
for a news bureau is generally
some one connected with one of the
daily papers, most likely the city editor,
who sends any local occurrance he
thinks of sufficient importance to ap-pear
in outside papers to the nearest
office. It is here manifolded and dis-tributed
to the papers in its service,
and also sent by wire to the daily pa-pers
embraced in its circuit. Any
event of national importance is of
course sent to the main office, and from
there to the branch offices, who distri-bute
it in the manner stated above. Of
course many of the leading and influ-ential
daily papers have their special
correspondents in all the large cities,
but this involves an expense that could
not be borne by the majority of the
papers.
* * »
THUS it will be seen what a network
of newsgathering is comprised in the
two great news bureaus, and how it is-made
possible to collect the news from
all over the world and distribute it
simultaneously. As distance lend en-chantment
to the view, likewise it
serves as a measurement to the news.
Should a big fire occur in Chicago»
the local papers there would perhaps
have several columns of it, while pa-pers
a hundred or two miles away
would confine it to half a column, and
the eastern papers might only think it
of enough importance to give it a
" stickful." If no lives are lost, a few
lines would tell the tale. And so it
goes with all the news, requiring a
master mind at the helm to mould the
news in such a form that will meet the
requirements of an up-to-date daily
paper.
* *
*
So MUCH for the gathering of the
outside news. In my next I will have
something to say about local news and
other incidentals that go to make a
great newspaper. PHIL.
Household Hints.
A persistent washing and rinsing in
milk will remove an ink stain.
Powdered pipe clay mixed with wa-ter
will remove oil stains from wall
paper.
Clear black coffee diluted with wa-ter
and containing a little ammonia
will cleanse and restore black clothes.
White lace and muslin curtains can,
with a very little trouble and at a
trifling cost, be tinted a delicate shade
of ecru, pale pink, heliotrope or green
by using colored starches.
A little kerosene is an excellent
thing for cleaning a zinc bath tub.
Apply with a soft woolen cloth, then
wa3h off with hot water—no soap in it
and polish with powdered bath brick.
A very effectual way of toughening
glass or china consists of placing the
articles to be toughened in a large ket-tle
of copper (of course, folding cloths,
etc., around the things to keep them
from knocking together), in enough
cold water to cover them entirely ;
bring this water to a boil, let it boil for
some time, then lift the pan off the fire
and do not touch its contents till the
water is perfectly cold.

The Sun's Distance.
" The sun is ab^ut i.inety three m
lions of miles distant fiom the earth,"
writes Alden W. Q timby in June
Ladies' Home Journal. " I t varies
through the year because the earth's
orbit is elliptical, and the sun is at one
focus of the eclipse. The earth is more
than three millions of miles nearer the
sun in December than in June, at
which time the latitudes south of the
equator receive his direct rays and ex-perience
the great heat of their sum-mer.
" Let us try to comprehend the fig-ures
stated. The other day two racers
of the sea proudly lowered the record
of trans-Atlantic passage. Cculd they
turn their prows to the sun, and drive
their great engines day and night
in the crossing of the other main, it
would be five hundred years before
they could reach harbor.
" Most persons have noticed the ap-preciable
interval of time between the
stroke of an axe at a distance and the
resultant sound; could we hear the
sound of a solar explosion we would
know that the explosion had occurred
fourteen years before. Perhaps the
most striking illustration is that which
imagines a little child to have an arm
long enough to reach the sun. The
child might thrust its fingers into the
seething fires but it would grow up to
maturity, and calmly descend into the
valley of extreme old age, blissfully
unconscious of any pain from the burn-ing
; in fact, it would require another
such a lifetime to bring the news to
the brain."
Two Fond Fathers.
Between trains at the railway sta-tion
the other day, says the New York
Evening Sun, two fond young fathers
bragged about their respective 3-year-olds.
Oiie father said that his son
walked as well as most children ot 6.
The other father said that his son
walked better than most children of 6.
" His sister's teaching him the two-step
now," he added. The first father
said that his boy was a great talker.
"Talks just as well as you or I do,
you know ; says everything he wants
to." "Sho' that's nothing," retorted
the other, " why, my little Bobby uses
words that we grown-ups have to look
up in the dictionary. I never heard
such a vocabulary as that youngstei's."
Then the first man remarked that his
son loved to be read to. " Read to !"
cried the other, " Do you mean to say,
that your boy can't read yet ? Whj ;
Bobby's read for me more than a year.
Reads everything, too—books, maga-zines,
newspapers—whatever he can
lay his hands on. He"—" Look
here," interrupted the first man,"
" Does your boy shave himself or go
to a barber?"

A large, portly man entered the
drug store and asked for 25 canine
pills.
" You mean quinine pills," remark-ed
the fresh clerk, with a grin of con
tempt plainly showing itself upon his
face.
" No, I don't mean quinine pills,"
returned the customer with some vigor.
" I asked for canine pills, and I want
them, and nothing else. My dog is
sick, and I want to cure him at once,:
at which the fresh clerk colored -ieeply
and mumbled something.
Paste That Will Keep a Year.
Dissolve a teaspoonful of alum in a
quart of warm water. When cold Btir
in flour enough to give it the consis-tence
of thick cream, being careful to
beat up all the lumps. Throw in half
a dozen cloves and stir in as much
powdered resin as will stand on a
penny. Pour the flour mixture into a
teacupful of boiling water, stirring well
all the time. Let it remain on the
stove a few minutes and it will be of
the consistence of mush. Pour it into
an earthen or china vessel; let it ccol
cover it and put it in a cool place.
When needed for use, solten a portion
with warm water. It will last a year,
and is better than gum, as it does not
gloss the paper and can be written
upon.

Some gentlemen, cruising round a

A Luminous Cat.
Those who now tolerate mice or rats
in or about the house certainly must
be blind to the fact that a luminous
cat, which costs very little to secure
and nothing to keep, has been invented
and can be placed in any d a r k corner
or nook and effectually scares away all
such pests. This cat is struck or
stamped from sheet metal or other like
material so as to represent in appc
ance the exact counterpart of its ani-mated
feline sister. It is painted over
