The Job of Teaching Journalism Not a Difficult One-Hints How to be Popular. not dissemble or appear to be other wise than what I am.

Now, Cornell comes for- exercise. Of course, you cannot teach j ward and seems to be in earnest, ana I a boy how to jerk a giant journal from the clutches of decay and make of it a robust and ripsnorting shaper and trim mer of public opinion, in whose count- ingroom people will walk all over each other in their mad efforts to insert their advertisements. You cannot teach this in a school any more than you can teach a boy how to discover the open Polar sea, but you can teach him the rudiments and save him a good deal of time experimenting with himself. Roys spend small fortunes and the best years of their lives learning the simplest truths in relation to journal ism We grope on blindly, learning this year perhaps how to distinguish an italic shooting-stick when we see it, or how to eradicate type lice from a standing galley; learning next how to sustain life on an annual pass and a sample early rose potato weighing four pounds and measuring eleven inches in circumference. This is a slow and te dious way to obtain journalistic turn ing. If this can be avoided or abbrevi ated it will be a great boon. As I understand it, the department in Cornell University will not deal so much with actual newspaper experi ence as it will with construction and style in writing. This is certainly a good move, for we must admit that we can improve very greatly our style and the purity of our English, hoi in stance, I select an exchange at random, and on the telegraphic page I find the details of a horrible crime. It seems that an old lady, who lived by herself almost, and who had amassed between $16 and $17, was awakened by an assas sin, dragged from her bed and cruelly murdered. The large telegraph head line reads: ‘‘Drug from her bed and murdered !” This is incorrect in or thography, syntax and prosody, bad in form and inelegant in style. Carefully parsing the word drug as it appears here, and 1 find that it does not agree with anything in number, gender or person. I do not like to criticise the style of others when I know that my own is so faulty, but I am sure that the word drug should not be used in this way. Take the following, also, from the Kansas correspondent of the State ville, N. C., Landmark: “There were several bad accidents in and around Clear Water during my absence from home. The saddest one was the shooting of one Peter Peterson bv his father. They were out rabbit hunting in the snow. A rabbit got up and started to run. The son was in a swag of a place and the father was tak ing aim at the rabbit. The son at the same time was trying to get a_ shot at it, and, not knowing that his father was shooting, ran between the rabbit and his father and was killed dead, falling on the snow with his gun grasp ed in his hands and never moved. He still carried that pleasant smile which he had on, in expectation of shooting that jack rabbit when put in the grave. Wheat is selling at about 00 cents; corn, 40 to 50 cents; fat hogs, gross, 44 to 4f; fat steers, 4f; butcher’s stock, 2 cents.” It is hard to say just exactly wherein t his is faulty, but something is the mat ter with it. I would like to get an ex pression of opinion from those who take an interest in such things, as to whether the thought is in orthoepy, or- thograpy, anatomy, obituary or price current, or whether it consists in writ ing several features too closely in the same paragraph. It would also be a good idea to estab lish - a chair for advertisers in some practical college, in order that they might run in for a few hours and learn how to write an advertisement so that it would express in the most direct way what they* desired to state. Here is an advertisement, for instance, which is given exactly as written and punc tuated : Mrs. Dr. Edwards, TIIF. GREAT WESTERN CLAIRVOYANT, Has arrived, and will remain only a short time. Call at once at HOTEL WINDSOR, 119,121 and 123 East State street, Room 19, third floor. Please take elevator. , . The greatest and most natural born, and highly celebrated, and well known all over the country, Clairvoyant, now traveling on the road, and wonder from the Pacific coast. „ , _ Seventh Daughter of the seventh Daughter; born with veil and second sight; every mystery revealed; if one you love is true or false; removes troub le; settles lovers’ quarrels: causes a speedy marriage with one you love; valuable information to gentlemen on all business transactions; how to make profitable investments for speedy rich es; lucky numbers; Egyptian talisman for the unlucky; cures mysterious and chronic diseases. All who are sick or n trouble from any cause are invited to call without delay. I have always claimed that clairvoy ance could be made a success if we could find some one who was sufficient ly natural born to grapple with it. Now Mrs. Edwards seems to know what is required. She was born utter ly without affection. When shew as born she just seemed to say to those who happened to be present at the am glad of it. The letters received frornday to day by editors, and writ ten to them by men engaged in other pursuits, practically admit and prove that there is not now in existence an editor who knows enough to carry liver to a bear. That is the reason why every means should be used to pull this profession out of the mire of dense ignorance and place it upon the high, dry soil which leads to genius and consanguinity. The above paragraph I quote from a treatise on journalism which I wrote before I knew - anything about it. The life of the journalist is a hard one, and, although it is not so trying as the life of the newspaper man, it is full of trials and perplexities. If newspa per men and journalists did not stand by each other I do not know what joy they would have. Kindness for each other, gentleness and generosity, even in their rivalry, characterize the con duct of a large number of them. I shall never forget my first oppor tunity to do a kind act for a fellow newspaper man, nor with what pleas ure I availed myself of it, though he was my rival, especially in the publica tion of large and spirited equestrian handbills and posters. He also printed a rival paper and assailed me most bit terly from time to time. Iiis name was Lorenzo Dow Pease, and we had car ried on an acrimonious warfare for two years. He had said that- I was a re formed prohibitionist and that I had left a neglected wife in every State in the Union. I had stated that he would give better satisfaction if he would wear his brains breaded. Then he had said something else that was personal and it had gone on so for some time. We devoted fifteen minutes each day to the management of our re spective papers, and the balance of the day to doing each other up in a way to please our subscribers. One evening Lorenzo Dow Pease came into my office and said he wanted to see me personally. I said that would suit me exactly, and that if he had asked to see me in any other way I did not know how I could have ar ranged it. He said that, he meant that he would like to see me by myself. I therefore discharged the force, turned out the dog and we had the office to ourselves. I could see that he was in trouble, for every little while he would brush away a tear in an underhanded kind of a way, and swallow a large, im aginary mass of something. I asked Lorenzo why he felt so depressed, and he said: “William, I have came here for a favor.” He ahvays said “I have came,” for he was a self-made man, and hadn’t done a very good job, eith er. “I have came here for a favor. I wrote a reply to your venomous attack of to-day and I expected to publish it to-morrow in my paper, but, I tell you the truth, we are out of paper. At least, we have a few bundles at the freight office, but they have taken to sending it C. O. D., and I have not the means just at hand to take it out. Now, as a brother in the great and glo rious order of journalism, would it be too much for you to loan me a couple of bundles of paper to do me till I get my pay from some equestrian bills struck off, and just as good as the wheat?” “How long would a couple of bundles last you?” 1 asked as I looked out at the window and wondered if he would reveal his circulation. “Five issues and a little over,” he said, filling his pipe from a small box on the desk. “Rut you could cut off your exchang es and then it would last longer, ’ I re marked. “Yes, but only for one additional is sue. I am very anxious to appear to morrow, because my subscribers will be looking for a reply to what you said about me this morning. You stated that I was ‘a journalistic bacteria look ing for something to infect,’ and while I did not come here to get you to re tract, I would like it as a favor if you would loan me enough white paper to set myself straight before my subscri bers.” “Well, why don’t you go and tell them about it? It wouldn’t take long,” I said in a jocund way, slapping Lorenzo on the back. But he did not laugh. I then told him that we only- had paper enough to last us till the next bill came, and so I could not pos sibly loan any, but that if he would write a caustic reply to my editorial I would print it for him. He caught me in his arms, and then for a moment his head was pillowed on my breast. Then he sat down and wrote the following card: the whole article as a malicious false hood. and state that if you will only give me a chance I will fight you on sffiht. All I ask is that you will wait till I can overtake you, and I am able and willing to knock great chunks off the universe with you. I do not ask any favors of an editor who misleads his subscribers and intentionally mis understands his correspondents: a man who advises an anxious inquirer w ho , wants to know - “how - to get a cheap baby buggy” to leave the child at a cheap hotel; a man who assumes to wear brains, but who really thinks with a fungus growth; a man the bleak and barren exterior of w - hose head is only equaled by its bald and echoing interior. Lorenzo Dow Pease. 1 looked it over, and as there didn’t seem to be anything personal in it, I told him I w - ould print it with pleasure. He then asked that I would, as a fur ther favor, refrain from putting any- advertising marks on it and that I w - ould make it follow pure read ing matter, which I did. I leaded the card and printed it with a simple w - ord of instruction, in which I said A WORD IN SEASON. F.veriyn, Neak Brunswick, Ga. May, 1887. My blood ad been impure for a number of years. I broke out in ugly sores over my head and body and I could set nethingto heal them or purify my blood (though I tried other so- called medicines) until I found that most val uable medicine (Botanic Blood Balm) B. !>• I>- 1 have been u>ing it lor nearly a year, and in that time have taken nearly one dozen bot tles, ami I feel that I am nearly cured; the sores on my head and body ail healed. My healthis good and I can eat anything that I desire. Yours respectfully, Edw - ard Glover. that I took pleasure in printing it, inas much as Mr. Pease could not get his paper out of the express office for a few days. It was a kindness to him and did not hurt my paper in the end. The are many reasons why the estab lishment of a department of journalism at Cornell will be a good move, and I be lieve that while it will not take the place of actual experience, it will serve to shorten the apprenticeship of a young newspaperman,and the fatigue of start ing the amateur in journalism will be di vided between the managing editor and the tutor. It will also give the aspiring sons of -wealthy parents a chance to toy with journalism, without interfer ing with those, who are actually en gaged in it. Bill Nye. Mr. Edward Scott, in his “Dancing and Dancers,” makes the following es timate of the distance actually waltzed over in an evening by a belle of the ball-room: “Do you, ‘my fair and fragile reader,’ think you would go six times round a moderate-sized ball room, say, making a circuit of eighty yards, during a w altz ? Yes, at least, even allowing for rest. That, then, is 480 yards, if you went in a line. But you are turning nearly all the time, say on an average, once in each yard of onward progress, and the circumfer ence of a circle is rather more than three times its diameter, which will bring each waltz to over three quarters of a mile, or at least fourteen miles for the eighteen waltzes.” The Chicago Herald makes the state ment. that in 1800 there w - as not a fac tory child in America. In 1870 necessi ty had dragged 114,000 children out of the schools and for no crime but pover ty sentenced them to such lives of un derpay and overwork as the ignorant must lead among the better educated. In 1880, 182,000 were sacrificed to the modern Moloch. At the same ratio, 1S90 w - ill show - an army twice as great as the population of Dele ware, 290,000 children educated in the school of the factory, brutified by the bosses, demor alized by incessant labor and contami nated by association without moral re straint. A young gentleman, of France, one evening after a dance, made a bet while supping that he could swallow a raw egg without breaking the shell, and he did so. A few - days afterward lie experienced violent pains, the doc tor administered a strong emetic, tiie egg came back, but broken, and out sprang a young chicken. The -warmth FROM A DRUGGIST.

I saw one man who said he was cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B) and I commenced using it, and the pain is a •■■reat deal less.

Down Two Years With Rheumatism and Now Entirely Well. I have been troubled with rheumatism for two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At ui'dit could not sleep for the excruciating naiu. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and 1 feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dn- fereut patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints, I was al most, discouraged until about two weeks ago, when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J. Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not, having much faith in it, or in anything else; but, thank God, I am very inucii relieved and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. 1 he swelling has gone down and 1 am in no pain whatever. Am at work again, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. 1 t hank you for this earthly salvation to me. I write without your solicitation, or any knowledge of you, except through your med icine. I write because I feel grateful for what has been done for me. I am yours, very trulyi W. A.

SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE. Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn., June 20,1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.— Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know of the wonder ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 10 years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I used about 30 bottles of other medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation. That we all were op posed to. I was in Knoxville the Sth of Jan uary, .887, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended the Bi.B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot tles, and, to inv litter surprise, after using three or four bottles, my girl’s leg was entire ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore on the calf ot my leg and one bot tle cured it, after trying all other remedies. I wish you- much success, and 1 do hope that al! suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier. I have tried threeor four blood purifiers, hut the B.B.B. is the only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if you wish. I am well known in this and Washington county, also all over Virginia. R- S. Elsom. BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH. Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887. I shall ever praise the day that you gentle men-were born, and shall b ess the day that your medicine was known to me. I had blood poison from birth, and so much so that all the doctors of my town said 1 would be crip pled tor life. They said I would lose my low er limb. I could not stand in my class to re cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your Balm cured me sound and well. You can use my name as you see fit. In my case there were knots on my shinbones as large as a hen’s egg. Yours, Mirtle M. Tanner. A GOOD EXPERIMENT. Meridian, Miss., July 12, 1887. For a number of years I have suffered un told agonies from the effects of blood poison. I had my case treated by several prominent physicians, and recived but little, If any relief. I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines, spending a large amountot money but getting no better. My attention was attracted by the cures said to have been effected by B. B. B., and I began taking it merely as a experiment, having but little faith in the ultimate results. To my utter surprise I soon commenced to improve, and deem myself to-day a well and hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual ities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too highly to those suffering from blood poison. J. O. Gibson, Trainman M & O R: R AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
