The government Of the United States

reason follow the example set by
France, through decree that has just
gone into effect. ordering that an si.e
cans which are to contain meats, Ifult,
etc. be soldered outside instead Of in
side. and that the cans themselves
must be of plate made of or covered
with pure tin instead of any Of the
alloys often used. The public FREE
quently hears Of families that have
been poisoned by canned meats, toma-
toes or fruit, but it never hears Of the
tens Of thousands Of people whose
health is temporarily and painfully de-
ranged by the same cause. Few per-
sons realize how great is the consump-
ton of canned fruit in the United
States. All the gear round these goods
are used in the almost countless camps
Of miners, soldiers hunters and excur-
sionists, while in Winter they find their
way into nearly every family in the
land. The lead-pipe scare, in connec-

enough reason, but in the can there
not only is lead but generally ~ acid
to take it up far more rapidly than
water could do.

On Monday morning (says Iarif
correspondent) clerk applied to ms
superior for permission TO be absent
forty eight hours on some family al
fairs and received an Affirmative answer.
However, he did no appear during the
whole Of the week, and no one knew to
what cause to attribute his absence.
On the following Monday morning he
re-appeared at the regular hour.
"Well, monsieur" demanded his su-
perior, why have you stayed away all
the week."
You, SIR" replied the clerk, gave
me permission"

hours only, and not for six days"
81 beg your pardon, sir" answered
the young man, 81 have only taken the
exact time which you granted me. We
work here eight hours a day, and six
times eight are forty-eight. certainly

istration."
This was logical but since that day
the chief specifies by administrative
hours the duration Of the leave he
grants.

The Good ~ Old Times.

1t sounds very poetical to say "the
good old times" but if we should be
strictly truthful, having an eye upon
the actual rather than upon the sem
timental, we should be more inclined
to designate them as the "mean
old times" especially if, by some
powerful freak of nature, we should
be taken up and set back among the
days that fell to the lot of those who
were men and women when our
grandparents ere little children. 1t
is no wonder that Benjamin Frank
lin, with his prophetic vision, wish
ed it had been his destiny to be born
two or three centuries later. Think
of the journeys then requiring days,
that may now be accomplished in as
many hours, and with far more COM
fort. Think ofsitting in church win
ter after winter without the cheerful
light OF fire; save that which was
kindled in the imagination by the
glowing eloquence of the preacher,
as he described the torments of the
damned" Think ofpaying forty or
fifty dollars year for a newspaper,
and think, also of the beggarly little
sheet and all its meager qualities!
Think of living without a friction
match in the house, or tooth brush,
or carpet, or gaslight, or furnaces,
or sewing machine, or doing with
out overshOes and umbrellas, and a
thousand other things that we call
necessities. l. is startling to consid-
er the multitude of things, small and
great, that we possess, which coutriI
ute to our comfort. our welfare, our
enjoyment, that were utterly ul-
known to our innocent grandfathers,
and never could HAYES entered their
dreams. The spirit of progress con-
suits our convenience and multiplies
advantages in every direction, en-
hancing the charmes of life, dimin-
ishing its pains, and inviting us to
come welcome and enjoy its innum-
erable gifts.

Elephantine Morality.

Hundreds of men and women have
laughed over the amusing picture of
the monkey using the cats paw to
take chestnuts off the hot stove. Per-
haps a few of the laughers have rec.
ognlzed themselves either in the mon
key or in the cat.
Yet it is common practice to use
Others to do that for us which we
would not do for ourselves. We NAV
think that we thereby escape respon-
sibility. But the legal maxim which
asserts that what one do through
another ne does himself, is not only
good law, but good morals. He who
influences another to act for him is
responsible for the character of that
others action.
.Singulssrs an it-naax seerp ephantss
who have associated with men also
entertain the notion that they are not
responciOle if they Use some one else
to do wrong act. An anecdote will
illustrate this elephantine morality.
A gentlemen in Rancoon bought
three young elephants so send to
England. They were tame and play.
ful, but cunning. Knowing that it
was wrong to steal paddy (unhusked
rice the idea had doubtless been
Impressed upon them by punishment
for stealing,-they would not touch
1t themselves. But if boy went to
see them, he would be seized by one,
the little trunk coiled around his arm,
and he be led to where the paddy was
kept in bags.
The elephant would make cats
paw Of the boys hand to take up a
handful of paddy. Then letting go,
he would turn up the end of his
trunk, open it, and coaxingiy invite
the boy to drop in the paddy.
Should the boy, however, put it
back in the bag, his arm would be
again siezed by the trunk, and his
hand again inserted in the paddy
| bag.
The boy, anxious to be released,
would usually drop the paddy into
the trunk, and the elephant would
blow the rice into his mouth. After
repeating the operation several times,
the elephant would scamper off. feel
ing the he had got the paddy without
stealing it.
There are not a few men who have

they have made another person do g
