CIVIL SERVICE REFORM MEG
ESSARY AND INEVITABLE.

E. l.. Godkin in an able paper in
the June Century on '.The Danger of
an Office-Holding Aristocracy' con-
cludes forcibly as follows:
''The only way in which the pro-
pHetorship of the public can ever
be brought home to office-holders is
through system which, whatever
its modus operandi, makes capacity
the one reason for appointment, and
efficiency the one safegard against
dismissal. No such system now ex-
lists here. Those who say that the
plan of the civil-service reform
ers would not produce it may be
right, but it is not open to them to
make in support of their opposition
charge which is notoriouoly true
of the system they are upholding.
Whether the proposed change, there
fore, be the best or not, some change
it must be admitted, is imperatively
necessary. In fighting against any
change, we are trying to avoid that
adoption of our administrative sys-
tenn to the vast social and CONNER
cial changes of the past half-century,
from which no civilized people can
now escape. and which all the lead
ing nations of Europe have effected
or are effecting. Any one who takes
the trouble to examine the reforms
which have been carried out since
1915, in France, or England, or Ger
many, which in all these countries
have amounted to social transfor-
nation, will be surprised to find how
much of them consists simply in i'm
provements in administration, or,
rather, how fruitless the best legisla-
tive changes would have been with
out improved administrative ma
chinery for their execution. We
cannot very much longer postpone
the work which other nations have
accomplished, and neither can we
avoid it by plans Mr.. Pendle-
| toms constitutional amendment-for
getting rid of responsibility by max
| ing mere executive offices elective.
This, like the act of 1920, is simply
a makeshift. Nobody pretends that
elected postmasters would be any
better than, or as good as properly
appointed postmasters. All that can
be said for them is that they would
save the president good deal of
trouble under the present spoils sys-
TEN. But the remedy for one alb
surdity is not found in another alb
surdity. When a thing is being done
by wrong method, we do not mend
matters by trying another wrong
method. The true cure for the de-
fects in the present system of trans
acting public business is the adop-
ton of the methods which are found
successful in private business. These
are well known. They are as old as
civilization. They are gradually
taking possession of government
business all over the world Our
turn will come next, and, in spite of
''politics, y will probably come soon.

black cloth, and you have rubbed off
a fine white powder which is of the
same material as the dandruff on
your scalp, only more finely pulyer-

hair every day. comb thoroughly
at least once a week, and wash the
whole head in soft water as often as
possible. You may put in little
soap or soda in the water, but /

A REMARKABLE CLOCK.

A matchmaker of Middlebury, VT,
has applied his ingenuity in rather
unnecessary and disagreeable man.
ner to the construction of clock
which acts out the assassination of
President Garfield. The machine is
thus described: 1t is cuckoo clock
with an attachment representing a
railroad station in miniature. At
one window is ticket agent dealing
out tickets, while at another a tele-
graph operator is seen busy at his
work, and truckmen, porters, train
dispatchers, etc., are all flying around
as natural as life. All these figures
are of wood, about two inches long.
At the end of each hour the cuckoo
announces the fact, and Immediately
a figure of President Garfield appears
on the platform on which the scene
is enacted, accompanied by an effigy
of Mr.. Blaine. Guiteau is seen to
follow him, having just alighted from
a truck wagon. and as he fires at the
president the latter falls. Just then
train of cars come dashing in, and
in the confusion all the principal ac-
tors are carried into the depot out of
sight After the train dispatcher has
given the signal and the train has
gone, small door opens and priest
appears, book in hand, in the act of
reading a funeral service, while at
the same time another door at the
right opens and Guiteau appears ON
the gallows. The priest retires, the
gallows disappears with Guiteau, and
the doors close. This performance
takes about three minutes.

JEWESS.

My dark-browed daughter of the sun,
Dear Bedouin of the desert sands,
Sad daughter of the ravished lands,
OF savage Sinai, Babalon.-
o Egypt-eyed, thou art to me
A God-encompassed mysteryi
l see sad Hagar in thine eyes.
The obelisks, the pyramids,
Lie hid beneath thy dropping lids.
The tawny Nile of Moses lies
Portrayed in thy strange peoples force
And solemn mystery of source.
The black abundance of thy hair
Falls like some sad twilight of June
Above the dying afternoon.
And mourns thy peoples mute despair.
The large solemnity of night,
o Israel, is in thy sighti
Then come where stars of freedom spill
Their splendor, Jewess. In this land,
The same broad hollow of Gods hand
That held you eyer, outholds still.
And whether you be right or nay,
'Tis Gods, not Russia's, here to say.

ANGELS MARK THEIR FALL

Fret not because the promise of the buds
The fruit doth not fulfil;
Was not the hope and fragrance which they brought
To a blessing still?
Nor count as lost the seeds we SOW in faith
Upon a barren land
And reap not. Doth not God the purpose know
And bless the sowers hand?
Spurn not the vow the eager spirit makes
That weak flesh can not keep;
The ocean bubbles break, but underneath
There flows current deep.
The buds that blossom not. the withered seed.
The VOWS We leave undone,
Are gems we drop; yet angels mark their fall.
And raise them to the crown.

AMUSING MISTAKES.

Some people think it no work to
read proof, but those who have had
experience know better. With the
best manuscript and the greatest
care, errors sometimes creep into az
ticles.
A writer tells us he 'shas seen a
Bible printed in New York in 1912,
for the American Bible Society, IN
which Rev. Xxx. 8 reads God and Ma
Cog instead of Cog and Magog; and
he once saw hymn-book in which
the saints were represented as look
ing for crooUs instead of croaCns in
endless day
In one edition of the Revised New
Testament, we are commanded to
bray for them that persecute us.
The story is told of a bachelor
compositor, who i'll setting up the
toast: ''Woman-without her, man
would be savage got the punctu-
alton in the wrong place, which made
it read: "Woman without her man,
would be savage"
We have a profound sympathy for
the poet who, writing Of his love, as
serted that he had s'Kissed her under
the silent stars" and found that the
compositor had made him declare
that he ''Kicked her under the eel
lar stairs"
By the dropping out of a single
letter, the Book of Common Prayer
once went to press with the sentence,
I'VE shall all be changed in the
twinkling of an eye," transformed
into 1--WE shall all be hanged in the
twinkling of an eye"
A poet'who wrote, s'See the mar
tyr in a sheet of fire. was startled
to see his line changed to ''See the
pale martyr with his shirt on fire.
A minister was asked to read The
following notice: "a man having
gone to sea, his wife desires the
prayers of the church y and by mis-
placing of a comma in reading il
gravely told the congregation tha
"A man having gone to see his wife
desires the prayers of the church" "

DANDRUFF.-What is dandruff? ?
Is it a disease? Is it curable? No,
no, no! 1t is an evidence of a
healthy scalp, and as to its cure you
might as well attempt to stop your
toe nails from growing. 1t is
simply Natures mode of renewing
the scarf skin all over the body, and
the reason why it is not shown on
other parts is that the friction of
clothing removes it as fast as it is
loosened. while the hair of the head,
