Catching the Early Train.

MAX ADEIER, writing in the Saturday
Eoening Post, says:
One Of the greatest delights of board.
ing in the country for the summer is the
pleasure man derives from his efforts to
catch the early morning train by which he
must reach the city and his business.
When he gets out Of bed he looks at his
watch and finds that he has plenty of
time, 80 he dresses leisurely, and sits down
to breakfast in calm and serene state of
mind. Just as he cracks his first egg, he
hears the up train. He starts, jerks out
his watch, compares it with the clock,
and finds that it is eleven minutes slow,
and that he has only four minutes left in
which to get to the depot. In a fearful
hurry he tries to scoop the egg out of the
shell, but it burns his fingers, the skin is
tough, and after fooling with it moment
it mashes into hopeless mess, and he
gets his fingers smeared; he drops the
whole concern in disgust, grabs roll,
scalds his tongue with quick mouthful
of coffee; then he stuffs the roll in his
mouth, while his wife hands him his
satchel and tells him she thinks she hears
the whistle. He plunges madly round the
room looking for his umbrella; then kiss
'es his wife as he can, with all that un-
swallowed bread distending his cheeks,
says good-by to the children in a lump,
and makes dash for the door. Just az
he gets TO the gate he finds that he has
forgotten his buster, and he charges back
after II, snatches il up, and tears down the
gravel walk In . frenzy. He doesn't like
to run through the village, because that

How to Clean Pictures.

A NEW process Of cleaning pictures has
recently been discovered. The great diff.
f1culty has always been to get off the old
varnish, which, by length Of time has be-
come almost incorporated with the color
underneath, so that any method employed
to remove the upper surface is pretty GER
tain to carry off with it the delicate lines
below. Some picture-dealers use corro-
sive substances, which make the matter
worse. An ingenious system has been
discovered at Amsterdam, which consists
in simply spreading coating of copaiba
balsam on the oil painting and then keep
ing it face downward over dish of the
same size filled with cold alcohol at an
altitude of about three feet. The vapors
of the liquid impart to the cOpaiba
degree of semi-huidity, in which state it
easily amalgamates with the varnish it
covers. Thus the original brilliancy and
transparency are regained without injur-
ing the oil painting; and when the picture
is hung up in its place again, two or three
days after, it looks as if it had been var
nished atresh. The inventors have given
the public the benefit of their discovery.
The process has the merit of being short
one as compared with the old Methods

Finding a Bo0tjack.

A HOUsEKEEPER writes the following
plant to the Cleveland Leader:
When the average husband of the period
wants to find bootack he steps to the
buttery door, and leaning against the
doorway with his hands in his pockets,
whistles meditatively as his eyes wander
along the upper shelves. When q break
in the tune occurs, you may know he has
found the cake, which he deyours absently,
still looking for the bootjack. Being now
deprived Of that aid to reflection-whist-
ling, he executes waltz in slow move
ment, sustained by large piece of cake
in one hand, stable pickle in the other
After a while, as the booUack does not
make its appearance the husband does, at
the door of the room, where you are get
ting the baby to sleep, and shouts "Jane,"
at the top Of his voice, under the impress
sion that you are up stairs, an impression
speedily removed. To cover the confu.
sion of his retreat, he steps on the dogs
tail and bumps the bird cage with his
head, then wants to know what you have
done with that bootjack, and why it is
that J on never keep things in their place.
If you are wise, and simply and calmly
point, like Columbia, to the object in ques-
ton hanging on its accustomed nail, he
seizes upon It wrathfully, with the solemn
VOW that it was not there when he went
through the room before.
The offending boots are finally left in
the doorway where tits convenient trip
over them, and serenity transpires, unless
you have occasion to 60 around them,
when you will at once see their value as q
natural means of obstructing passage
way. It is estimated that one pair Of
boots judiciously disposed about an apart
ment Of medium size, will prevent either
well.disposed person or professional
burglar from quietly making his way
about It. IA
At tee time the average husband does
not eare about any cake; 1t isn't much
lilo that his mother used to make.

"LOve' is Enough.

THE New York Ercning Post is respon-
sible for the following pretty story:
1t is profitable sometimes to be senti-
mental. Let US today remember that it
is spring-time, however gloomy the
weather may be, and recount a simple
love story.
Last summer German boy and girl,
Henry and Susie, living in Minnesota, fell
in love with one another. Her family,
at first Indifferent, early in the winter put
themselves in opposition to the mach.
But this Romeo was no drawing-roOm
lover. Desperately in earnest himself,
and confident of the fidelity of his Juliet,
he bravely went to work to make home
for her. He already owned a quarter-sec-
ton of land. Taking his AK he went to
his "estate" and there cut down trees and
hewed out logs enough to make cabin,
which he put up without help and fur
nished in rude but comfortable fashion.
This done he asked Susie to come and be
his wife. She consented. Unfortunately,
the young man had not yet set up his
carriage, and, since it was unbecoming for
bride to 60 on foot ahand-sled; drawn
by the bridegroom, was pressed into
the service of the pair.
Thus they went forth in secresy to theg

trinity on the sled, he Juggling bravely at
the strap. 1t was eight miles to the little
cabin, but love made the journey short.
There the wedding was to take place, a
clergyman having promised to be in
waiting to make them man and wife.
Unfortunately the clergyman was not
there and Susie was frightened and
ashamed. She wanted to 20 home. But
Henry, grieved at her distrust, and yet
secretly pleased with her modesty, pro-
posed that until clergyman could be
found the cabin should he divided by u
partition wall into two cabins, of which
one should belong to her and one to him.
To this she agreed, and the young man
went eleven miles through the snow after
the boards for the wall, dragging them
home on the sled which had just carried a
more lovely burden.
When the parents found their runaway
Gretchen it was under these circumstan
ces-she was keeping house by herself;
he living like bachelor, and bearing
himself in every way with chivalrous
courtesy worthy of Henry Esmond him.
SELF The father and mother, notwith-
standing their grief and anger, were
touched by the unconventional honor and
purity of the young people, and then
wisely concluding that the match was
made in heaven, gave their heartiest as
sent to it.

riously. He goes faster and faster. Halt.
way down he does hear the whistle for
certain. He wants to run, but he knows
that he will start up that yellow dog there
by the sidewalk If he does. Then he ao'
tually sees the train coming In
at the depot, and he feels
that he must make . rush. He
does. The yellow dog becomes excited
and tears after him. Six other dogs Join
in the chase, and bark ftlriously, and frolio
around his legs. Small boys contribute
to the excitement by whistting on their
fingers, and the men at work on the new
meeting-house knock of to look at him
and laugh. He feels ridiculous, but he
must catch the train. He gets desperate
when he has to slscken up until two or
three women, who are on the sidewalk
discussing the servant-girl question and
the price of butter scatter to let him pass.
He arrives within one hundred yards OF
the depot, with duster flying in the wind,
coattails horizontal and the yellow dog
nipping at his heels, just as the train be-
gins to move. He puts on extra pressure,
and resolves to make that train or perish.
He reaches 1t as the last car is going past.
He seizes the handrail, is violently jerked
around once or twice, but finally lands on
the step on his knees and is hauled in by
the coat collar by the brakeman, hot,
mad, dusty, with his trousers torn across
the knees, shins bruised, and three ribs of
his umbrella broken. Just as he gets CON-
fortably into the car, the train stops, backs
up on the siding and lays there for half
an hour while the engineer fixes broken
valve. Then he is madden than ever, and
determines that he will move in town to-
morrow, while he looks out of the window
and watches the dogs that followed him
engaged in contest over a bone which
the yellow dog found on the platform of
the station; and he registers silent vow
to devote his first holiday to hunting up
that dog and Draining him with club.

WASHINGTON, June 70
The modified rules, ten in number, hav.
ing been approved, were promulgated this
afternoon.
One of them declares that while it is
not the purpose Of the rules and regula.
lions either to restrict power Of removal

power will not be exercised arbitrarily,
and therefore application must not be en-.
tertained by any authority having duty Of
nomination or appointment for the re.
moval Of any person in the Civil-Service,
nor will any person be removed for the
mere purpose of making place for any
other person. The following are extracts
from the rules:
The grouping heretofore made for the
Executive Department at Washington is
modified by striking out the words '.fe-
male clerks, copyists and counters at 5000
year." These places being below the
grade of clerkships of class one, selections
may be made by the appointing power at
discretion from list of those reported
competent being at liberty to give pre-
ference to such as may justly be regarded
as having the highest claims to public

towcd across the lake, being sixty-three hours
on the way. This is thought, in Chicago, to
be the opening of a new era in the lumber

The South.

Senator West, of Louisiana, has written q
letter on the political situation in that State,
in which he says that the future salvation of
debt and disgrace, the progress of her material
interests, and her restoration to all her former
greatness and still further advancement, where
needed reforms may be effected, is the unifica-
ton of all who profess Republican principles,
and can only be jcopardized by distraction
among those who entertain them. He ex-
presses the opinion that no new election will
be ordered in Louisiana by Congress. Advices
from the leaders of the McEnery party in
Louisiana say that If there is to be new cleo
ton in that State, they desire it to be exclusive
ly under the control of the Federal Govern
ment, and assert that if Gov. Kellogg and his
associates are allowed in any way to control,
or even intermcddle with it, the friends of Nc
Emery, and the opponents of Kellogg, will
have nothing to do with the election.
