savannah News.
While we have not as many accom-
plished politicians and great statesmen
as we had before the war, we have com
pensation IN the fact that there are fewer
unbushing demagogdes. There are
enough of this class left, however, to
keep us from forgetting what manner Of
men they are, and to keep virtuous, iu-
tellectual citizens on the lookout for
their tricks and manoeuvres.
The demagogue is defined to be man
who seeks to advance himself politically
by specious and deceitful arts He has
no principles and no fixed policy except
the resolve to succeed by whatever
mears may be required-be they fair or
foul. He is all things to all men. He is
Boanerges in promises. He expresses
great love for the people, but when he
serves them it is to accomplish his own
personal profit, and even his aims are
done to be seen of men, and are looked
upon by him as a mere advertising me-
dium.
The demagogue is devoid of that high
devotion toone's country and to the right
that is necessary to true craftsmanship.
His connection with the doubtful classes,
and his courting Of popular favor con
sumo toe much of his time for him to be
learned or even creditably well informed.
and his elevation to Office is followed by
a sacrifice of the dignity and self-rcspect
of the community, and the degradation
of official station to personal ends, even
where there is no actual malfeasance.
The deeadence of dernagogy is due to
the influence of the press in exposing the
tricks of unworthy politicians, and to the
better education of the masses of thepeo-

rFhc Utility Of pnin.

The utility of pain Is seen in the mem
brane which sweeps the surface of the
eve, for instance, in several animals,
whenever any irritant particle is brought
into contact with these delicate struc-
lures. The pain caused by the foreign
body sets up refiexly a muscular contrac-
ton in this membrane, and thus ii is
brought across the eye, sweeping the
surface. and so the offending matter is
removed. When the foreign body is too
fixed to be so removed, Reorganization
of the eye follows, and amid a general
destruction of the organ the irritant mat
ter is got rid Of Destruction Of the eye
in these animals would be n common oc-
cuIrenco if it were not for this muscular
arrangement. and pain is the excitant; it
is. as il Were, the finger which pulls the
trigger, and so the machinery already
provided and prepared is set i'm action
thereby. In man the suffering caused
by a foreign body III the eve calls the
attention to the part and leads to Its re-
moval. If it were not for the pain SO
produced, irredeemable mischief would
often be permitted to so on unchecked,
because unnoticed. Not only docs pain
so defend the eye from the injurious eff
fects of foreign bodies, it sften serves to
protect the delicate organ from over
work and where pain is so produced
rest is given to the part, and recovery is
instituted.

An event of considerable Importance
has occurred in little farmhouse
few miles from Canton, Ohio, within a
few days. Mrs. Devices spoke to her
husband. This is what she said:-
"Williaml 1 believe 1 am dying"
However, she did not die, and she is
now nearly well again. But the fact
that she spoke at all to her husband has
greatly excited those who are acquaint-
ed with the old couple. They are past
threescore. This Is the first time eth
er has spoken to the other for nearly a
quarter of century, though each has
spoken to other persons daily all the
while.
Nearly twenty-five years ago Mrs.
Devices desired her husband to do a
trifling thing which he regarded as eth
er impossible or unwise, and he refused.
She, becoming petulant with disappoint-
ment, rashly exclaimed
"If you don't I'll never speak to you
again as long as liye."
81 not only will not do it,n he said,
aroused to anger, "but will not speak
to you until you speak first to me-"
The issue thus joined lasted longer
than either imagined it would. Until
the recent night spoken of neither Mr..
nor Mrs. Devices ever uttered word
to the other. The quarrel was soon
over, and the best of feeling was resum-
ed between them. They have lived to-
gether ever since, contented and har-
monious, the only cloud upon their hap
piness being their silence towards each
other. But even that has had its ad-
vantages. When Mr.. Devices wanted
to say anything to his wife he would
say, for example, to one of the children:
-"Jennie, tell your mother l wish she
would sew another button on my over
alls." Or themother would say:-"John,
tell your father to bring some sugar,
oil, pepper, and spool of thread, No.
60, from town to-day" At first it was
difficult for them to repress the impulse
to speak to each other, but, being per-
sons of strong will, they stuck doggedly
to their resolutions until habit made it
easy to do so.
"Yes," said Mr.. Devices to neighbor
one day, 1--WE have not spoken for pref
ty near twenty-five years. 1t has some.
times been little inconvenicnt, and,
of course, it seems silly to most people;
but it has been blessing to us in some
ways. That one quarrel was our last.

that we'd have been divorced"
On the night when the silence was
broken Mrs. Devices had been ill fol

incoming she awoke in great pain, and
: thought her end had come. In her ag.

Five thousand cats are said to have
been eaten in Paris during the late
siege. According to the same authority,
the cat is DOWNRIGHT good eating. A
young one, well-cooked, is better than
hare or rabbit. 1t tastes something
like the American gray squirrel, but is
tenderer and sweeter. One thousand
two hundred dogs, it is stated, were
eaten in Paris during the late siege, and
the flesh fetched from two to three
francs per pound. According to Pliny,
puppies were regarded as a great deli
cacy by the Roman gourmands. The
bear supplies food to several nations of
Europe, and its hams are considered
excellent. The flesh OF the brown or
black bear, which is eaten by the COM
mon people of Norway, Russia, and
Poland, is difficult of digestion, and is
generally salted and dried before it is
used. Two bears were eaten in Paris
during the siege, and the flesh was sup
posed to taste like pig. The Indian
tribes of the interior of Oregon eat
bears. The hedgehog is considered a
princely dish in Barbary, and is eaten
in Spnin and Germany. Its frequently
eaten by the sick among the African
Arabs from the belief that the flesh is
medicinal. Mice and rats are eaten in
Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zea-
land, and considered delicate moTsels.
The taste of rats is considered to be
something like that of birds. Tho
Chinese eat them, and to the Esqui-
maux epicures the mouse is a real
bonnie bolche. Rats and mice were eat
en- in Paris during the siege. The por-
cupine is reckened delicious food in
America and India, and resembles suck
ing-pigs. The Dutch and the Hotten-
tots are fond of it, and it is frequently
brought to table at the Cape of Good
Hope. The squirrel is eaten by the ma
tives Of Australia. the North American
Indians, and is favorite dish in Swe-
den and Norway. The flesh is tender,
and said to oresemble that of a barn-door
fowl. 1t is sometimes eaten by the
lower classes in England and the United
States, and is said to make excellent
pies. The flesh of the beaver Is much
priced by the Indians and Canadian
traders, especially when it has been
roasted in the skin after the hair has
been sin2ed off.

A girl once complained to her aunt
that her father did not give her any
pocket money. The aunt was kind
hearted woman, and thinking to make
her niece happy, she presented her with
ten-dollar bill. The young lady was
delighted, of course, and profuse in her
thanks. Shortly after she went on a
walk, and upon her return proudly ex-
hlbited 10 her aunt handsome purse
and gold-mounted withdrawing pencil.
She did not actually need either of the
articles, but they were pretty and took
her fancy. The Gust of them was 81.
The pencil was lost before many days
and as the remaining So was soon fritte ed
away, there was little use for the purse.
The good aunt was at no loss to see
why the father withheld pocket money
from his daughter, and thereafter she
herself found some other use for her
ten dollar bills.
1t should he added that this Young
lady called herself an economical girl.
When she had no spending money she
could get on bravely without many
things which her soul craved. Yet our
readers can judge for themselves, from
the incidents above related, whether
she had the true Idea of economy or
not.
Frugality, thrift, economy are greatly
advocated rs desirable virtues. But
these do not mean simply going without
what is needed. Economy is to get the
most possible out Of dollar, not to
waste 1t, and then be driven to practice
self-denial. There is great difference
even among very young people in tins
regard, Give two girls, or boys, a
dollar, and often you will discover,
when the cash Is spent, that one girl
has an equivalent to show for it. She
has her full moneys worth OF some
thing desirable. This is economy. The
other can hardly tell where the money
is gone 1t has been SO foollshly ex-
pended that she might almost as well
nave lighted the fire with IT.
1t is not difficult to acquire habits OF
true economy, but the practice of 1t
should begin with small sums-the
dimes and quarters-and childhood is
the time to take the first le1sop.
