SOME of our esteemed contemporaries
seem inclined to view the Chicago Tribune's
description of George Bliss, as the steers
man of the Administration, in the light of
joke! Bless you, brethren, you.don't know
George. You are not even acquainted with
him by reputation. George has been steer
ing all his life. When he was District At
torney in New York he used to steer him
self up against fat moiety job very fire.

Mr.. BARToL, President Of the Washing
ton Gas Monopoly, says in his letter to
Congress that the company has set aside a
reserve fund of $65o,OOO, so that it would
be enabled, in case of competition, to give
the citizens 'gas for fuel and illuminating
purposes at the lowest possible rates."
Would it not be wise policy to prevent
competition by giving it to us now, at rea-
sonable rates, instead of charging more than
double what the price should be?

fear that the demand for pure statesman

There is nothing so exhausting as steady
drain of pure craftsmanship. We have
tried it as long as a week at time, but it

against his relative and friend, Mr.. James

would be a general ignoring Of the
disagreeable accident, with an occa-
sional word to show her reason for so
doing. The Bowmans had been mar
ried twenty years, and during ten of
those Mr.. Bowman had constantly
dropped stitches. Mrs. Bowman had
never been i'll day in her life.
Everybody who had the least ac-
quaintance with this lady was also ac-
quainted with this fact. Mr.. Bow
man heard this statement so often that
he always knew just when it was COM
ing. It was an introduction, an in
terlude, a climax. He had counted
the words in the sentence, and the
letters in the words, and repeated them
over and over again to himself, till
they had an alien and uncertain sound,
and taken separately were. utterly de-,
void Of meaning. The general idea of
his wife's robust, continued, and Of
course continual health remained,
however. There was no way of twist
ing or perverting that. If Mrs. Bow
man had been constructed in such
way as to make the dropping of an
occasional stitch possible, it would
doubtless have been great help to
her husband in disposing of his. But
she wasn't. One would as soon think
Of Bunker Hill Monument with
"crick," as of Mrs. Bowman with an
infrmity of this kind. But, as stated
above, Mrs. Bowman had headache.
1t was a hard and constantly develop
ing headache. She bore it for four
days without fiinching, then she began
to weaken. = ri 4s5ts.., i-ii' z p-
Neuralgia never selected a more un-
suitable and unfortunate time, for
Mrs. Bowman was house-cleaning.
Although there was competent man
at the helm, and two professional as
sistants, this brisk and particular
housekeeper was always at the head Of
her troops. Her weapon on these oc-
casions was an Immaculate linen cloth
and hair-pin. Armed with these she
tested the cleanliness Of the visible
and the invisible, for Mrs Bowman
was as anxious about the last as the
first. When it is taken into consider
alton that there was not square foot
of woodwork from the fourth floor to
the basement that was not gone over
in this fashion, it is apparent that
Mrs. Bowman was altogether too busy
a woman to have neuralgia added to
her programme. But it was there,
and notwithstanding two or three sur
reptitious visits to noted physician,
had evidently come to stay. She
couldn't dodge it or ignore it. The
much-talked-of and highly recon-
mended will power which had been
her exclusive remedy for other peo-
ple's sufferings was not within call.
Mr.. Bowman wondered not little at
his wife's silence, and the stoniness of
her expression, and more still at his
unusual privileges; but this gentleman
had purchased wisdom at usurers'
rates through long experience, and his
speculations were never interrogative.
It was such a novel sensation, and
such a comfort for Mr. Bowman's
stitches to be allowed to drop without
some sort of an interruption from his
wife, that there is no sort of doubt
but the poor man would have ravelled
out with pleasure.
