HE FORGOT HIMSELF.
How Unfortunate French Waiter Lost His
Situation

How an Unfortunate French Waiter Lost His
Situation.
From the New York Times.
Alphonse, a French waiter, stood on the
Montague street dock, Brooklyn, looking
gloomily into tho water. The hideous
slpudder of intending suicide crept up his
nerveless limbs. A casual friend hailed
him with slap on the shoulder that shook
the color back to his pallid cheeks and the
firmness OF hope back to his knees
"None of that, now," said his friend warn
ingly,. "whats the trouble with you this
timer
"Oh, monsieur" sobbed the Frenchman
"t am so ready to kill myself, so despair ~
"What's the row? Is 1t Marie this time ~
" All, no. monsieur not Marie--she IL one

Gladstone Would be Welcome,

Ii Mr.. Gladstone shall find himself able
to visit this Country at any time during
the next year, he must come prepared for a
genuine surprise at the warmth of the wei.
come which will be extended to him. Per-
haps no man in the world, not even except
ing our own public men, has the genuine
regard which goes out to William f. Glad
stone. His long and conspicuous career,
his high character as a man and statesman,
and his intelligent sympathy with the in
stitutions and the people of the United
States have endeared him to this country
in degree which few men at home OF
abroad can hope to equal. His later
achievements, in particular, have won him
this position. Beginning life as 'the rising
hope of the stern and unbending Tories
he early took himself out of these narrow
trammsls. For nearly forty years he has
been at the front in all discussions which
have had for their object the destruction
of time-hon0red abuses or the amelioration
of the condition of the people of England.
Never a radical, ne has always been a pro-
gressive man, such rs the American heart
always forms an attachment for. If he
comes to this country, however, he will
need his voice, the charm of which has
given him his rank as statesman, and
enabled him to maintain himself in position
and power.

: More Zeal Than Discretion.

The extreme civil service agitators, who
have voluntarily taken upon themselves
the task of running the country, are not
having an easy time of it. 1t is only a
few days since they were routed in an at
tempt to dictate to the postmaster of In
dianapolis. This rebuff had scarcely been
administered when they found it necessary

terof New Haven. Now they are in trouble
IN the New York custom house, where
Surveyor Beattie has discharged two men
at the expiration of their probationary
terms. They protest, and the local sgitators
are about to take up the matter.

THERE will be number of very bitterly
disappointed people along the line Of the
South Pennsylvania railroad il that project
is abandoned. Some there were who in good
faith made land purchases and went extern
sively into improvements, anticipating the
increased value that would attach to their
possessions after great railroad traversed
them. The contractors, too, who have in
vested much money in costly plants cannot
feel very kindly tow ards those who will he
responsible for their stoppage of work. So
wrathful already have tho people of Fulton,
Bedford and Somerset become at the proposed
abandonment of the line that they intend
organizing TO resume possession of the land,
the right of way over which was purchased
from them by the South Pennsylvania COM
pany. They justly claim that they gave the
right of way ON condition that competing line
should be constructed. But to get back
their property in its present condition would
be to them little or no compensa satiOn. I'm
dulating fields have been marred by high
embankments and deep cuts. The Pittsburg
Dispatch wisely suggests to them what is
their only proper course: "What the far
mers Of these counties as well as of the
people of Pennsylvania must do, is to
elecct such Legislators and public officials,
that the corporate creations of the state will
not undertake to rule the state and dominate
commerce by such combinations as this F"
With clear r-headed honest legislators, high
handed outrages like the one contemplated,
no corporation, however powerful, would
dare attempt.

Eggs should be cooked either very soft

A house at Schenectady was for long
time infested by reaches and water bugs.
Last fall servant hearing that toads were
an antidote, caught three ordinary hoptoads
and put them in the kitchen. Not roach or
water bug can now be found in the house.
The toads have become domesticated, never
wander about the house, and are so cleanly
and inoffensive that there is no objection to
their presence.

would do well TO study the civil service
law and the rules made under It's provi-
slons. If they will do this they will dis
cover that the power Of removal is not in
terfered with. The power Of appointment
Is restricted or regulated; but the right Of
an official to secure responsible subordi-
mates agreeable to himself, remains and
must be maintained. Otherwise, the pres
ent clerical force of the government, the
majority Of whom were appointed merely
by the will Of senators, representatives,
favorites and heads of bureaus, might re-
tain their positions until death had cleared
them all out. This can not promote a real
reform Of abuses, and it was never intend
| ed by Mr.. Pendleton and the act which
bears his name.
The right thing to do is TO turn the ras.
Gals out, with all reasonable celebrity, and
| put honest men in their places. And the
sooner over-zealous reformers come to this
conclusion the better it will be for then
and the public service.

DR.. G. +. Folsom, OF the Boston City
hospital, has given much attention to the
subject of nervous disorders in adults which
are laid to the blame of defective schools.
He believes that three-fourths of them are at
tributable to other causes. The doctor seems
to be a hard-headed man with some ideas of
his own. What he says of the lack of fair
play shown to woman i'm this bustling CEN
tury is worth reproducing "The functional
diseases and disorders which make life
wretched without killing are at least four
times as common among women as among
men, and there TO me, foolish conclusion is
drawn from that fact that women are unfit
for hard work, responsible duties, and Sc
we're mental training. On the contrary, they
are driven by their few resources to those
branches of industry involving the most
worry, the worst air, the least pay and the
greatest anxiety, and they are denied the
opportunity Of that vigorous physical exer.

which men know perfectly well that they
would be neuralgia, dyspeptic and suffering

the public schools give, more colleges for

THERE are few romances, "founded on

into juxtaposition with the facts ON which
they are alleged to be founded. A notable
instance of this Is found in this pretty story

guests were generally at dinner As soon as
she heard il, Mrs. Wise arose from her table,
passed over TO Mrs. Lee and congratulated
her, saying "If my husband is to be beaten
had rather he should be beaten by your
husband than any man living" Mrs. Lee
returned thanks and said "Mrs. Wise,
