Nearly every American reads on the cars and steamboats. He generally pre- fers a novel, or some other light and entertain- ing trifle, toa serious work. If it does not oc- eur to him to put one into his gripsack before leaving home he finds himself on the road with the choice between a five-cent newspaper, with whose contents he may be generally acquainted, and a book costing fifty cents or a dollar. He wants te book, but the price gives him some compunctions. He feels that he may use it only to entertain his mind for the three or four hours of his journey. To buy it and leave it in his seat when he reaches his destina- tion seems wasteful, yet it is practically worthless for his library. Now, suppose that he could select a book, give the newsboy a dol- Jar on deposit and take in returna ticket on which the date is duly checked off and the title or stall-nuraber of the book indorsed, read the book as long as he cares to, and when he has finished return it and receive back his dol- lar, less six cents for the privilege he has en- foyed. Should he become interested beyond his expectation he could, under the system here suggested, carry the book home and keep it as loug as he cared to, re- turning it finally to the nearest stall owned by the company which hires the newsboy, and on surrender of ticket and book obtain his deposit as before, less a sum proportioned to the time he has retained the volume. This charge might be six cents or even ten cents for a week or less, and a cent a day for any longer period thana week. Of course these are the mere outlines of the possibilities of the case. Modi- fications or improvements of the plan here sketched will present themselves to the mind. SS nan Though New York will be the first state to settle the question for or against “electrocu- tion” asa means of putting capital criminals to death, Minnesota will outstrip her in another branch of the work of so-called “execution re- form.” Under the new law, already commented | on in Tue Stan, a murderer will be hanged a} few days hence in the presence of only the sheriff, deputies and physicians, and the news- papers will be forbidden to make more than a} passing mention of the event. It would not be diffienlt to lay one’s hand upon the newspaper that will dejiberately break this last precept of the law; indeed, the difficulty would be to find one that will not. The public demand something more thanamere mention, and the demand will tnquestionably be satisfied. But there will be an indictment and prosecution of one or more of the offending editors, probably, to test the constitutionality of the law. A clause guaran- teeing the liberty of the press against infringe- ment by the law-making power was the first amendment a vigilant people attached to the federal constitution after the ratification of its main provisions; and it will be the first one at- tached to the constitution of every state where it does not now appear, if the legislature at- tempts to abridge the right of the newspapers to print the news in decorous language instead of leaving the duty of further censorship to the tastes of the readers of each as reflected in their respective publishers’ incomes, ———— In the newspaper comment upon the prize fight, comparison has been made between the | uodern athlete and the ancient, very much to | the disadvantage of the former. A cotempo- rary remarks that “the Greek athletes were men of a far different mental and physical cali- ber from the ‘tough’ citizens of our times who pose as representatives of our physical man- hood. The motive which inspired their train- ing was patriotism and relig’ @ desire to serve and strengthen their coua! and it was this which made nearly every Greek patriot an athlete and nearly every Greek athlete a pa triot.” This glorification of the Greek athletes at the expense of our own shoulder-hitters does not seem to be justified by history. Euripides, moralizing upon the subject, says: “Of the thousand badnessess in Greece, the worst is the athlete.” Another authority says: “This athleticism had its hero in Hercules, the colossal form shown in the Farnese Hercules, while gymnas- ties chose for a model the slender and active Hermes. Athleticism made gymnastics a call- ing, @ trade. It gave the body an abnormal, ponderous and ungracious massiveness, dulled and brutalized the mind and rendered the ath- lete unfit for war, as his heavy, overloaded body could not endure hardships, long toil, hunger and thirst. The athletes therefore avoided the more refined gymnastics and pre- ferred the coarse boxing matches which the Spartans did not tolerate. They wound hard thongs around their arms and hands to make the blows more severe, and joined wrestling With the boxing, the two combined being called the ‘pancration.’ In this way they might | gain victories and enjoy the applause of the spectators; but as aclass they were despised, | especially in old age, when they went about deformed relics of humanity, with crushed ears and not seldom with crippled limbs.” On the whole, our modern musclemen—the Hyers and Heenans, Sayers and Sullivans— seem to be quite as much entitled to public es teem as the ancients of their class, ion by illuminating gas is not confined, as so many persons fancy, to eases where the gas is blown out through | ignorance instead of being turned off. Amore | Widespread danger, in these days of popular | enlightenment, rests in the habit so many Persons have of allowing one bracket to burn dimly all night long while they are asleep. If the gas is to be kept burning at all it should, for safety’s sake, be left blazing fairly high; for, when the flame is reduced to the faint blue spark, the least diminution in pressure at the works will cause this to go out, and, when the pressure is renewed, the gas of course escapes steadily into the room, to the possible injury of all its inmates. A night lamp should be used, If light is necessary, or a fair blaze so shaded as not to fall upon the faces of sleepers. A whole family were nearly killed at Coney Island the other night through keeping a live light too low to survive the lapse of pressure soon after midnight. If the statements made by Mr. Carnegie’s striking employcs are anywhere near the truth the noted mannfacturer has got a pretty good- Great sized job on his hands trying to subdue the present revolt. But it must be confessed that the talk yesterday about starvation is not quite in harmony with the talk of a fortnight ago about having means of subsistence enough to hold out for two years if need be. oo Good-bye!
