The Cleveland Leader saws that

The Cleveland Leader says that a
gentleman in that city who prites
himself on his personal appearance
lately sought to remove a grease
spot from his coat-tail by the free
use of benzine, and then stood close
to the stove that the odor might evap-
crate more quickly. He was quite
correct in his theory, but unforta-
nate in practice, for he was soon
turning cartwheels through the win
dow, and there was not enough coat
toi] left to make q "weskit" for a
doll-baby. He does not ride horse
back now, and sleers on all fours
like a mule.

The royal plato at Windsor, which
is kept in a tolerably-sized room and
an adjoining closet, is valued al
G1,750,000 sterling. There is one
gold service, formed by George ~
to dine one hundred and thirty
guests. Some pieces were takel,
from the Spanish Armada, some
brought from India, Burmah, China,
There are thirty dozen Of plates
which cost twenty-six guineas each
plate. This is only a portion of the
royal wealth of England in this item
of domestic necessity. In the Tow
CT of London are all manner of gold
salt-cellars, lrinking-cup, spoons, etc,
which in value represent an addition

Getting t2I, Fairly.

Halls journal Of Health" says
Up to eighteen years, every child
should be allowed ten hours to be
in bed. they may not require ten
hours sleep but time should be al
lowed to rest in bed, after the sleep
is over, until they feel as if they had
rather get up than not. It is very
great and mischievous mistake for
any person, old or young, especially
children, and feeble or set!clltarv
persons, tobounce out Of bed the mo-
ment they wake up !; all our instincts
shrink from it and ferccly kick
against it.
Fifteen or twenty minutes spent
in gradually waking up, after the
eyes are opened, and in turning over
and stretching the limbs, does as
much good as sound sleep, because
these operations set The blood in mo-
ton by degrees, tending to equalize
the circulation /; for during sleep the
blood tends to stasnation, the heart
beats feebly and slow, and to shock
the system by bouncing up in an i'll
slant and sending the blood in over
powering quantity to the heart, caus-
ing it to assume gallop when the in
stant tbefore it WAS in a creep, is the
greatest absurdity. This instantane-
Gus bouncing out of bed as soon as
the eyes are opened will be followed
by weariness long before noon.

Yi.c Duty of To-Day.

l-any of us say to ourselves, eft
[ were in some position better fitted
to my capacities, I could become
greater and more noble /; but it is of
no use for nc to try to Go any good
here, where everything goes against
me-" It is all 1uistf ke !; for if cur
duty still holds us to the place, VIC
shall surely find that the faithful,
cheerful performance Of it noy and
here, will be the best fitting We can
possibly have for that other end
greater work when God shall think
best to put it within our reach.
This humlrnm round Of duties,
the same from day to day, Of house
hold cares, OF teaching, buying and
selling, writing, Or exchanging the
everlasting dollar, seems a very mar
row life to us sometimes, and wo are
too apt to think as before that thore
can be no chance FOR doing anything
great or seryieeable to others while
engaged in them.
But isI it not by being faithful in
the minor daily events Of life thu.
we gain strength and wisdom for the
greater ?-and indeed these things
arc not SO little as they seem. We
must begin at the 1eginnlng ; with
ourselves not only for our children :;
and with them also in the begin
ming, while the soil is fresh and new
to receive the seed. Then will the
seed spring TIP more readily than if
planted after the soil is hardened by
many stoEms--4't1er's Home Muga-

EGa'tkc & d. t.,e Russians.

There is a story told about the
visit Of the great .prussian warrior to
Russia, which would seemed to indi-
,:;stc net simply that t,le Russians
arc Gi:ickwittel, but that they have
nc '5,rz7nt lining -15r tttEU1ir Irussian
nc;GIbo1s.
according to custom, the Emper-
OF A.!o@anIcr had sent two of his
ai'Is-ae-calnp to accompany the
Prince Erut.cric! Carl and the Count
Van AEoltlo rs fay as the bounda-
ria;', aster t':eir visit. When the
joarney was only about half over, Il
railroad accident compelled the dis
til1guishel travellers to halt for few
hours.
Russia is a very strange coun-
try" said Won Moltke to one Of the
aide. de-camp, Col, eve have
Travelled all through Germany and
France, at all times, and under the
most trying circumstances, and we
have never had the slightest acci-
dent"
Your excel|ency is right" replied
the aide-de-camp, smiling, Russia
is, indeed, Il very strange country.
But what would you have? It was
made so, and it can't be helped. Be
sides, you were invited to come to
Russia by the Emperor, you have
been his guest, and lie has neglect
ed nothing to provide for your safe
and easy return to your own country.
It would have been very different if
you had come into Russia uninyited.
In that case you would never have
got away at all"
It is said that N[oltke's followers
made wry faces at the speech, but
that Moltke himself, biting his lips,
congratulated the young Russian up
on the readiness of his wit.

In an article on the requirements
of the Presidency, TIE New TIorl,
.M,tton concludes as follows
The Presidency is not the proper
school in which to teach a man how
to transact business. No man who
has not acquired a knowledge Of af.
fairs before he reaches the age at
which tie Presidency is usually at
talrable is ever likely to acquire il
| afterwarl. A knowledge Of the
tricks Of electioneering lie may ac-
quire, just as any man may acquire
u knowledge Of battalion drill !; but
that familiarity with the principles
and machinery of government, and
with the vast and complex interests
OF Il great commercial society, which
a President needs. can hardly be ac-
quired in less than lifetime. 10
say this is to say that there is some
thing absurd in the plea that if a
President is honest he is all right
Ills personal honesty is comparative
ly a small matter, and it daily be-
comes smaller if his habits, pursuits
and experience do not give him all
all but iutuitiye knowledge Of the
various ways in which frauds may
be perpetrated, and do not enable
him to see at q glance what it is Il
rogue is driving at. We have got
to pass in our history at which the
most honest of Presidents, if he be
honest only, may be every day made
the pliable and unconscious tool of
knaves. Let us add, too, that no
man who is not man Of affairs and
education, can retain very long in
the Presidential chair in our time.
let him be never SO honest, a very
hearty horrcr OF l;navery. The
means by which kn:very is disguised,
the dexterity Of knavcry in obscur-
ing the line at which o transaction
passes from the doubtful into the
thieving phase, are matters which
only practiced eyes can discover, and
40 man can over war stoutly and
PERSISTENT y against what he does
not see clearly, and for what he docs
not hold teuaciously. No President
will ever be real friend CT civil ser
vice reform whose resolution u Muir
ply CT a Forney has wit enough to
" sicAly DER" without doubt or hesi-
tation.

The i.sii C:' Il Ead Tts:.,ser.

A bad temper is Il curse to its pos
SCISSOR, and its Influence is most dead
ly wherever it is found. It is allied
to martyrtiom to be obliged to live
with one Of q complaining temper
10 bear one eternal round Of COM
pl;,int and murmuring, to have every
pleasant thought scared away by
their evi! spirit, is sore trial. 1t is
like the sting Of Il scorpion "a per-
petual nettle, destroying Your peace,
rendering life IL bulden. It's inf,.-
ence is most deadly ; and the purest
and sweetest atmosphere is contlmi-
mated into Il deadly miasna where
ever this evil genius prevails. 1t has
been said truly that while we ought
not to let the bad temper of others
influence us, it would be as unreal
sonable to spread a blister Of Span
ish flies upon the skin and not ex-
pcct it to draw, as to think of Il fam
lily not suffering because of tie bad
temper of it's inmates. One string
out Of tune will destroy the music OF
an instrument, otherwise perfect !;
so, if all the members of a church, a
neighborhood and family, do not cul-
tivate kind and aifectionatc tenn
per, there will be a discord and eve
