On musical wings they go.
And Autter to her heart.
They find it out. for their part.
And yet. returning, they
Complain. and will not say
What twas they saw in her heart.

The races drop in the grave.
The ages come and fee:
Not SO dieth nor hieth the love

And sink down on a happy knee.
And die in the light of thine eyes;
Saying: Lady, 1 love but thee!

What evil did ever you know
In the man who kissed so closely
In the fortunate Long Ago?

In my arms you rest so gladly,
On my heart so quiet you are;
I am your darling Heaven.
And you my beautiful Star.
The race of mark citing mortals
Is chaffering far below,
Scolding, swearing, and haRgling,
And every zones right, as we know.
Their cups and bells they jingle,
And quarrel without a cause,
And with their heavy bludgeons
They maui each others jaws.
But we are so happy. wee darling,
Away above them so far
You hide in your darling Heaven
Your head. my beautiful Star.

The Dairy.

We lately saw a recipe for keeping
dairy utensils pure and sweet, which we
mean to try, as we think it cannot but
be advantageous. Keep close by the
table on which the milk things are
washed "a small tub or hogshead, ac-
cording to the size of your dairy. In
this slack some good quicklime, enough
to make thin whitewash; fill with
water, cover closely to keep out dirt
and dust. The lime will settle, leaving
a saturated solution of ime-water over
it, as clear as spring-water. Wash the
utensils as usual; then dip each article
into the cask of hme-water, giving them
a quick turn, so that every part shall be
immersed in the lime-water; then set
them up to drain and dry, and the puri-
fication is complete" We presume in
the case of a churn, cheese tub, cheese
press, or other large article, that pour
ing the llme-water over it will answer
the purpose just as well, though using
the Iime-water up sooner than by dip
ping into the cask.
The lime in the clear water instantly
neutralizes the acidity of the milk
which may yet remain IN the cracks or
seams of the milk vessels. The lime
keeps the water pure all summer, and
the water and evaporation may be
made up by adding clear water when
needed, as the lime settled at the bot
tom will keep up the strength of the
saturated solution.
Wouldn't Come Down a Foot More.
A quaint Scotch minister was given
somewhat to exaggerating in the pulpit.
His clerk reminded him of its i'll effects
on the congregation. He replied that
he was not aware of it, and wished the
clerk, the next time he did it, to give
him cough by way of hint. Soon
after, he was describing SIMPSONS tying
the foxes tails together. He said I:
"The foxes in those days were much
larger than ours, and they had tails
twenty fut long" "Aheml' came..from
the clerk desk. THAT is," continued
the preacher, " according to their meas
urement; but by ours they were fifteen

extraordinary, Well just say they were

A DETROIT gentleman one hundred

Beef-eaters will challenge the envy of all the
ofice-holders in Turkey, Persia, China, Mexi-
CO, and a host of similar civll-service reformed
countries.
One thing we may feel sure of, viz, that
the recipients of the $24.0OO in the First
District of Georgia will vote for Grant and
Howadji, the very essence of civil-service re-
form.

The French Navy.

NJ. Theirs shows good sense in one
thing, and that is in the reduction OF
the French naval force. For 1873 1t
will consist of but "a armed vessels, o,
which are iron-plated. OF the mum
ber 81 will be held in reserve, not being
placed in commission. The total OF
marines and sailors will be 23,431. This
is large reduction, the feet at present
consisting of l0l armed vessels, OF
which 7 are irou-clads. During the war
the feet numbered 167 vessels, manned
by Sc, 900 men. But it did virtually
nothing of moment as respects affecting
the contest one way or other.
A BITTER hostility is said to exist be-
tween the Canadian French and the
English and Scotch classes. Steadily
all political offices are passing from the
hands of the latter to the former. II
in any case an English or Scotch official
leaves his place in the Custom House,
his successor is sure to be Canadian
Frenchman. The course of affairs IN
the Province of Quebec is steadily set
ting toward the expulsion of everything
] not distinctly French or Catholic.

Total amount collected, $53, ,622.S3; out of

Where is the civil-service reform
GRANTS BEEF-EATERs IN ALABAMA
In the Third District OF Alabama there was
collected in 1871 from the four articles on
which internal taxes are levied as follows
from spirits .-...-........-.... 9Io, 1924 ea
From tobacco. 5,oo5-1 10
From fermented liquors. ....... 477.73
Amount appropriated in 1928 to collect
the above, $4,000; which is fraction over
II per cent for collection. Or, in other words,
of the 1922, ,330.79 collected, the Treasury of
the sovereign people receives $6,330.79, and
Grants Beef-eaters SIG, 600.
The great civil-service and revenue reform,
now rejoicing under the management of that
heavenly born civil service reformer George
William Curtis, may well ask that celebrated
Howadji whether nas-cver heard of the
old anecdote of the London cab-owner and
cab-driver? CabbY, who had to deliver to
his master the days earnings, divided the
amount into two separate heaps, one for him
self and one for the boss There happened
to be an odd shilling left, and Cabby was IN
doubt to whose little pile the shilling was to
go. when the boss, who had watched the opera
ton, exclaimed: ''Why, Jack, that shilling
belongs to me: pay for the oats"
In the above division between the Grant
Beef-eaters and the sovereign bosses of the
United States the former take two and half
times more than they give to the latGer.
Cannot civil-service Curtis order it so that the
Grant Beef-eaters take 6,330.79 and leave
$16 900 to the Treasury, instead of their ap-
propriatiug $1,000 and only leaving Sc, 5000
for the Treasury Surely Mr.. Curtis should
remember that the sovereign bosses pay for
the oats.

taxation there was collected in 1871 in

Amount appropriated in 1872-73 to collect
the above, $24, ,O0O-which is fraction over
81 per cent. for collection. Of the above
941 ,92987 taxes ground out of the people in
the First District of Georgia. the Grant car
pet-bag Beef-eaters deducted S24, 900, and left
for the Treasury 81, 1928. 81.
There are four districts in Georgia. Why,
we ask, could not the Second District take
care of these S41, 919 taxes collected in the
| First District? Or can any non-partisan,
| honest man believe that it requires an ex-
| penditure of $24 900 to collect 81 929 /?
1t must naturally be great comfort to the
| great civil-service and revenue reformer,
| George William Curtis, that in all these ex-
posed districts the employees well up in
| what he so much prizes-arithmetic. The ad-
dition (to themselYes) and the division of these

George William Curtis to reform the above
before the Presidential election.

The appropriation for the present fiscal year

to collectthe above was S14, 500. Or, in other
words, whole people are taxed with 81, ,412.26,
in addition to the 80, squeezed out of
the First District of South Carolina. to feed
carpet-baggers and electioneering bulies. If
civil-service George William were not more
Incompetent for the task he ostentatiously
arrogates to himself than the most incompe-
tent favorite in an appraisers department, he
should have known during the last winter when
in Washington, while engaged in the ponder
GUS task of concocting civil-service rule, that
this district is rotten borough; that 1t could
be merged into the Second District of South
Carolina. Not knowing it, or not having the
practical sense to search for it, he proves
vain pedant, ornamental perhaps but totally
useless. If did he did know it and failed to
expose it or demonstrate against it with the
Secretary of the Treasury, who has the power
to reform this swIndle without the consent of
Congress, he simply proves himself an alder
and abettor of civ1l-service swindle and not
reform.
Here is another district in this carpet-bag
State, which does not prove quite as bad as
the First District sWlndle, but would never
