A SINGULAR PErRIFIcAr1oN.-Somo
two years ago Constable Doucherty
died of consumption at Lodi, Califor-
MIA. Recently his widow died. and
there not being room enough to bury
her in the lot beside his remains. her
body was buried elsewhere and he
was disinterred to be laid beside her
An examination of his body showed
that it had not in the least decomposed
during the two years it had lain in the
ground. Every feature was perfectly
natural, except that there was brown
spot on one cheek. His hair, during
the time he had lain buried, had grown
till it swept his shoulders, and his
nails were very long. 1t is a little
singular to say the least that the BODY
should have lain SO long without dc
composition.

A STARTLING TRUTH-It is certain
that those who are most keen in their
judgments on the work Of others are
not generally great or excellent pro-
ducers themselves. The art critic is
not often good and successful pain
ter or sculptor. The literary critic
who wields the pen mercilessly is not,
as rule, an author; or. if he be, his
works have not been appreciated by
an undiscriminating public. So it is
10 the several departments of public
and social life. The best-that is, the
most ready and fearless-censors of
craftsmanship and political enterprise,
are not themselves statesmen or gifted
with the administrative faculty. Nor
are the best "moralsts" always the
most moral of men in their own per-
sonal conduct and career. This last
remark involves startling admission;
but it must be made in the interests of
truth. We do not think the fact that
immoral lives sometimes preach and
teach morality is to be regretted, or
ought to be regarded with vexation by
the self-consciously righteous. We
have never been able to understand
why those who profess to have the dis
semination of truth at heart. should
feel aggrieved when they hear of it
spread through unworthy channels and
by corrupt agencies. If the preacher
of religious truth is not careful to live
up to his own standard of what is
right, he is the loser; but his personal
failure does not in any way effect the
truth he promulgates. Censors and
critics of right are often themselves
wrong; but as they have knowledge
of good and evil, their admonitions
are not to be despised or disregarded.

A NEEDLESS ExPENsE.-The number
of travelling statesmen in the United
States is 10000. These men are en-
ployed by business firms at an aggre-
gate expense of at least $3.50, 100000
per annhm. Of course this expense is
added to the prices of the goods they
sell, and in the end it comes out of the
purchasers. Here is an enormous pub
lie burden which is entirely useless.
There is no good reason why the
drummer" system should be perpetu-
ated. The onlysexcuse one firm has
for continuing it is that others persist
in it. If business firms would all mu-
tually agree to abandon the practice
OF employing travelling agents, they
would abolish a needless piece of ma
chinery, that never ought to have been
created, and which is not warranted
by any legitimate laws of commerce.
If the money expended in employing
"drummers" were used in advertising
business houses in first-class newspa-
pers, the investment would be a more
profitable one for the dealers, and en-
able them to sell goods to the people
at more satisfactory rates. Drovers

HOW SARAH STUDIES.


One of Sarah BernharGt's most marked
pcculiaritfes is the manner i'll which she is
constantly, almost unconsciously, expert

even the most trivial and Insignificant incl

who responded to her bell was astonished
