BE Sens!ble.

Do not be above your business. Fe wbc
turns up Lis nose Mt work quarres with
bread and butter. Tie is poor smith wht
is afraid of his own sparks /; there's some
discomfort in all trades except chimney
sweeping. If sailors give up going to sea
because Of the wet if bakers left off bak.
ing bread because it is hard work if plough
men would not plough because OF cold, and
tailos would not make our clothes for fear
of priching their fingers, what pass we
would come TO. Nonsense, my fine fellow.
there's no shame about any honest calling
don't be afraid of soiling your hands, there's
plenty Of soap to be had.
All trades are good to good traders. Lu.
cifer matches pay well if you sell enough oi
them. You cannot get honey if you are
frightened at bees, nor plant corn if You
are afraid Of getting mud on your boots.
When bars of iron melt under the south
wind when you cnn dig the zelda with
toothpicks blow ships along with fans
manure the crops with lavender water, and
grow plum cases in flower pots, there will
be fine time for dandies but until the
millennium comes We shall all have deal
to'put up with.

The GARFIELD FAMILY.

Mrs. Garfield and her family occupy
one of the handsomest residences on
Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. o., and any
pretty afternoon they can be seen driving
or seated on the steps OF The residence.
The mother has aged considea'ly since
the time she occupied the position as first
lady OF the land, and shows plainly the
fearful trial through winch she passed
Her children are intellectual, and have an
air OF well-bred and dlgnifed and gentle
bearing tnat marks them as being of dis
tingushed parents and OF careful training
Though they, as yet. do not go into
general society, they have large circle Of
friends and acquaintance. The ca. risge
rs it rolls down town is pointed at, and
its occupants receive great deal of at
tenion from the curinus throngs. ,The
turnout is one of the handsomest in the
city, and the pair of bob tailed browns
and English coachman seem to realize the
distinguished load they are attending to.

AN IDEAL WIFE.

can hardly wait to tell you what Q
lovely wife Mark Twain has. 1t is a re-
liei when we know genius to whom q
whole continent is Indebted to find that
his wife is an ideal wife to any man. l
cannot be trespassing on sacred ground,
Tor does she not belong to us? when l tell
you that she is young aud pretty, wi!E
black lustr0us eyes aud pcrvading air
of refinement and delicate breeding that
proclaims her, as she is, to the manor
born. OF course Mark Twain knew
when he was a pilot on the Mississippi
that it was but one of the vicissitudes of
his varied career, as was also his atter-eX
pericnce in mining camps. Doubtless he
had his idea of wife even then, which he
found realized long afterwards in this at
tractive high-bred girl, of Elmira. n. Y.
He follows Stuart Mill and many of our
own illustrious men in saying that he
owes his success in life to his wife. 1t is
a delight to see her happy eyes dance as
merrily rs any ones over the quaint
speech and irresistab stories of her hus-
band. And then their three cliildlen
each one with so much individuality
such gentle reproductions of their mother
They already write as naturally as they
ta!k.'s1 Notwithstanding their frequent
letters and the kilograms, Mrs. Clemens
eagerly reads, nothing could keep her
long away from them. Mr.. Clemens says,
"My wife can trust Providence just about
4s hours--no onger."-Mrs. Gen. Custer.

Four buildings have been erected and a
commodious wharf constructed. Machine
ry will be received from Portland cOn-
sisting of a forty horse power engine and
accessories. Eight large iron tanks will
be used in preparing the fish, and all Of
the latter will be utilized in oil and as n
tertalizer The capital involved is Eng
lish and most OF tho shipments will be
made to London. The land on which
the factory is established is owned by
Judge Warbass. who has leaGod it tc the
refinery. The name OF the new town IS
Oil City. A specimen of the oil was
shown us after refining it was Of an am
ber tint and very clear and almost entire-

rather pleasant, AS lubricator it is
very suprcior, not forming the gum which
characterizes most OF the machine oils
now used. 1t is proposed to make a
mixture with petroleum, forming sort
OF mineral oil, which will prove very
excellent for lighter machinery.

Among book publishers it has been q
for many years that volumes OF
short stories do not sell. The career of
the series "Stories by American Authors"
which was completed short time ago
goes to show the fallacy of this prophecy.
From the start the books were successful
until now nearly 100, 900 copies have been
sold and the demand is as steady as ever.
Messrs. Scribner have paid the authors
in this series 81, 900 for the

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant.
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were 30 weak raised blood. . Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing) )was very straining on me withmy
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because 1t was 90
difficult 10 get It in this little place, and
had improved 60 much, stopped taking II
for q time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and I must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
TO be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for ]
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters:'
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure Of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, Is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed BY physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishlers Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 90
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.

MANAGING SCHOOLS,

The ruling principle upon which a
school should be managed is not author
ity. not force. not law. 1t is love. good
will, cordial respect for the teac er.
and interest in the work. The ordi-
nary motives and purposes OF the daily
routine must be based upon this princi-
pie. Then the law, authority, force,
step in only When demanded by some
exceptional case wnich absolutely re-
quires that kind of treatment. When
this special case is met, let the force
element retire to camp till the bugle
shall call 1t to action again. Love and
good will at once take command. 1t

The Washington Critic is credibly in
formed that at the last caucus held in
March by the Republican Senators the
following two rules, in substance, were
adopted in accordance with their views of
civil service reform:
l. That IN case Of the remoudi Of any et-
fcient Republican public officer on the alleged
ground Of offensive parhsdnshp' and the
nomination of a Democratic "pdrtisan" IN his
place--THAT SUCH NOMINATION WILL
NOT BE CONFIRMED.
2. That in case any Democratic "part,an''
causes The removdi Of an efficient Republican
and receives as his reaard for causing such re-
moral the nomination as successor 10 the de-
cdpitated o0iciai-THAT SUCH NOMINA-
TlON WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED.
The Critic states that the reasons as.
signed for the adoption of these rules are
understood to be in effect that the Senate,
under the constitutional provision of "ad.
vice and consent" is an advisory body to
the Executive, and with him is held re-
sponsible for the character of the Civil
Service, and that under the laws of Con-
gress establishing civil service reform in
the public Offices Of the country their duty
requires some such action as indicated in
the above caucus rules" 1t will proba-
bly, be discovered that the Senate is full
department of the government.
