managed SO that the United States could
pass its collecting machinery over to the
states to be administered by them. If
the tax on the whisky still in the South
ern mountains went to the state, prob
ably public sent iment there would make
the collection easy that the United States
now finds so difficult. Moonshining would
cease to be popular in those states which
declare themselves too poor to pay their
debts. And if Virginia collected for
herself the tax Oh her tobacco industry,
she would hardly growl about it as she
does now.

A WHITE ROUSE CONCERT.
Scenes on the Lawns Back of the Mansion
on Saturday..

Scenes on tho Lawns Back of the Mansion
on Saturday.:
On Saturday the largest audience of the
season gathered on the lawns behind tho
White House to listen to the usual concert
by the Marine band and to enjoy tho
breeze that swept up from tho Potomac.
When the president has been at home he
has appeared with a party of lady and
gentlemen friends in tho rear porch
of the White House, and has heard the
concert at a distance from the miscellane-
GUS and democratic throng wandering
about on the pleasant lawn. On Saturday
the porch was empty, the president having
gone off on fishing excursion to Harp
er's Ferry with Senators Hampton, Vest,
and Jones, of Nevada. There were an
unusual number of congressman among
the listeners, and Is or 20 New York men
were chatting in the shadow of grove,
just below the White House, when ex-Sec-
retary Blaine, with Mr.. Walker Blaine,
sauntcred leisurely down tho lawn and
toward this group. The ex.secre-
tary was looking extremely we'll, and
seemed to be perfectly at ease and COM
Portable in the midst of the throng of peo-
pie. He was known to some of the New
York men, and those who were acquainted
with him soon made him acquainted with
the others, and he chatted with all about
the weather, the White House surround
ings, the sorrowful scenes witnessed
from the lawn year ago, when
the body of President Garfield was
brought to the rear porch, and he waved
his hand to one of the ladies who stood by
to see him carried in. The chat with the
New York men was entirely unconstrained
and when it was over the ex xsecTetary
strolled around to talk with other acquaint.
ances, evidently enjoying tho meetings as
much as they were enjoyed by tho men
with whom he exchanged greetings.

emil bakery was robbed of s155, including

who was down stairs, heard the jingle of
specie and she rushed up stairs to her
room. On the floor close to q trunk which
was unlocked she saw several pieces of sill
yer and soon discovered the loss. Suspicion
rests on young man whom Mr.. Eby en-
plOyed recently and who gave his name as
Frank Clark. Tho young man was arrested
and Officer Jacob Shelly took him to Jail
on Saturday noon. There was not any
money on his person and no one has found
where it is secreted.

Nine Tailors Make a Man,

The phrase, 1T takes nine tailors to
make man." originated many centu-
ries ago. 1t was known before the time
of good Queen Bess, who. one day, on
receiving deputation of eighteen tai
lors, addressed them: Good day, gen.
tleman, both" We have heard Its orr
gin explained in this way: Once upon a
time homeless orphan had applied for
assistance at n fashionable London tai
lor's, where nine journeymen were em-
ployed. The boys condition stirred the
beneyolence of the nine, who each gave
him l shilling. With this slender capi-
tai the youth started In the flint busi-
ness, and in time became very rich, aud
retired from business. Then, instead
of having coat of arms. he emblazon-
ed upon his spoons and panels the
grateful motto: Mine tailors made me
Q man." Here IL another version,
showing how n whole generation may
be led off the right track by misspell-
ed word: Mine tailors make a man"
is an odd saying. and good illustra-
ton of our statement. To look down on
the worthy profession Of the cloth-cut-
ter because of such proverb shows a
want of proper instruction. In the old
en- time when a person died the church
bell tollcd once for every year the de-
parted had lived. But from the tolling
of the bell no one could tell whether the
deceased was man or woman. To
satisfy public curiosity. perhaps. on
that subject, the sexton. after toll.ng
the age, gave eight quick strokes Of the
bell If tho deceased was u woman, and
nine II 1t was u man, and these quick
strokes at the end Of the tolling were
called '.tailers," because they were al
the tail end Of the whole business
Hence the proverb. mine tailers make
q man."

The Great Steam Hammer.

81 have been told" said Mr.. Dubious,
watching the great steam hammer in
the rolling mill, ''that good hammer
man can break the rystal of watch
with that thirty-ton nammer." ''Yes,
SIR" said the Zimmerman, sit can be
DONE" 81 should like to see it." said
Mr.. Dubious, eagerly, feeling in his
watch pocket. Il can do it. SIR" re-
piled the man. '.And will you?' re-
piled Mr.. Dubious, drawing out his
watch. ''Come, / am anxious to see it
tried" He laid his watch on the great
anvil plate. The hammer rose up to its
full height and the next instant all its
ponderous weight with crushing force
that shook the ground for an acre round
came down on that watch. There,
SIR" said the Zimmerman quietly, eff
you don't believe that crystal is broken,
just stoop down and you can see it
sticking to the hammer" Mr.. Dubious
swallowed q whole procession of Jumps
and gasps before he could speak. But
l forgot to say" he exclaimed, ''that it
was to break the crystal without injur-
ing the watch'' '.Oh, yes" said the
Zimmerman. .'yes, know; have heard
that rubbish myself, but its all CANNON.
l don't believe it can be done. But you
can break the crystal every time."-

A Girls Oluh.

A very pretty story comes from New
York about four homeless working girls
who determined to abandon the horrid
boarding-house, pool their earnings, and
make themselves as real home as can
be found beyond parents roof. They
rented third-story fiat and began ope-
rations. They were poor, and were
obliged to start with only one room car
peted, stove, some chairs, a clock.
table, q few cups and dishes, knives and
forks, and two mattresses, but no bed
steads. Little by little the furniture
was increased; now by a chair, next by
a bedstead, again by bureau, and so
on until from being complete, extras
were added. One Of the girls got 500
week as a milliner; another $12 as
clerk in Broadway candy store; an
other got $40 or $12 S. mewhere else,
and the fourth was q dressmaker, and
because she worked at home was made
housekeeper and called steward of the
club. Until the house was furnished
all pooled their earnings, but since then
each has paid every Saturday share

Gomez Of the weeks expenses, including
q stated sum as salary to the steward

better than their neighbors. They live
along without quarreling, and run their
picturesque establishment according to
rules framed and hung in the parlor.-
One of these rules is that no member of
the club shall receive the visit of q gen.
tleman except in the presence Of at
least one other member, and that all the
members who are in the house shall be
present in such cases.

In Salt Healthfnl7

takes. There is not the least reason to

that q diet of thistles with Jumps of rock
salt would be beneficial to man, but
donkeys certainly thrive on both. 1t is
a well known fact that to experiment on
animals with drugs for the purpose of
ascertaining their effect is futile and ut
terly useless, the action being different

Smoking AID Spittinr.

A lady writer in the Boston Adver-
tiser has poured in broadside of de-
nunciatory criticism on the men who
smoke and spit in public places, the
streets and cars especially. The Aduer-
tiser heard her complaint patiently, and
replied in really philosophic temper;
the gist of its advice being that what
people on the whole are willing to put
up with, the few who are incommoded
or offended must try and put up with
the best way they can. 1t is quite too
bad to have to answer sensitive wo-
mans complaints in that way, but what
can be done? 1t is all out of the ques-
ton to think of stopping the practice OF
smoking. Yet we think it but right and
courteous that smokers should consider
that not every one smokes. A puff of
tobacco smoke in the face is like a sick
ening dose to many persons, men as well
as women. Ordinarily, gentleman
does not smoke in the street, except at
unusual hours. ----
But on the subject of splitting there is
more to be said. There is altogether
criminately. A person who is capable OF
any TeucCtiOH sHOulu NJ lcssSt cCC Aot
himself the common decency of spittiug
off the sidewalk instead of upon it. The
habit of splitting on floors that are walk
ed over by others is simply indecent.
And the practice of disgorging in the
corners of the floors beneath car-seats is
unqualifedly vile. AS for squirting
about in the passage ways of railway
cars, the person who does it needs a
great deal of training before being ad-
mitted into any apartment where either
gentlemen or ladies are. Men should
prepare themselves for their railroad
ride just as they do for their dinner;
they can finish their splitting before they
enter the cars, and hold up at least un.
til they have ended their ride, especially
if it is to be short one. Few habi.ua
spitters know what perfect torture o.
disgust they inflict on others by the
ostentatious display they make Of thi'
nasty habit

A Good Word for Cremation.

There are only three ways in which
dead bodies can be disposed of-either
in earth, sea, or fire. There are obvi-
GUS objections, on the score Of good
taste, to sending our dead to be torn to
bits by fishes. It is also certain that
our cemeteries and grave-yards, with
slowly wly-decomposing masses of animal
matter, leads to tho surrounding soil
being poisoned by the products Of pu-.
trefaction-a result that can not be con-
sidered healthy by any stretch of imag-
inahon. But if we burn q dead body to
ashes we do, or need do, injury to no.
body. There is nothing unwholesome
in the ashes, which may be preserved
with reverent care as sacred relics, and
people who. prefer. to burn their dead
rather than let them ''lie in cold OBJ
strnction and rot'' have both sense and
science on their side. Indeed, we have
never heard of anything like good ar
gument against cremation. save one
1t is that started by Belgian states
man, who holds that, if we burn dead
bodies, we lessen the chances of detect
ing cases Of poisoning. But surely it
would be possible to devise means
whciOOy, kAc UOuy WIS CouSuiuou,
the stomach of each corpse might be
preserved for certain time after death,
lest it might be wanted for analysis
We do not share the terror OF those
bishops who. like DR.. Wordsworth. think
that cremation may tamper with the
popular belief in the resurrection of
the body; nor can we affect to sympa-
thize with the late home secretary, who,
when cremation was once bruited in
his presence, is said to have asked with
horror: "But, then. what shall we do
for burial certifcatesp' The world can
and has gone on after the sacrifice of
far more important forms than the bu-
rial certificate, which, to Sir Richard
Cross, seems an essential element in the
constitution Of society; and it ought not
to be more difficult to believe in the
resurrection of body which q shark
has eaten and digested than to one re-
duced to ashes in funeral pyre.-Lom-
don W0rld.
