A Simple and Pretty Way to Amuse the
Little Ones.
Here is simple and pretty way of
having a growing garden indoors TO
amuse and gladden. the little ones. Cut
circle OF cardboard about three and a
half inches in diameter, and lay it to
soak for quarter of an hour When
sufficiently softened take it out and
carefully fit into a china saucer,
smoothing it out well with the fingers
and the bowl of q teaspoon until all
blisters have been removed. Lift it
with care and allow it to dry. after
which give it one or two coats of shell
lac Now cut hole about half an inch
in diameter in the center, and place the
little cardboard saucer on top of a wine
glass. Cut strip of common blotting-
paper as wide as the distance from the
bottom of the wine-glass to a point a
little above the hole in the saucer. OF
this construct a roll of sufficient thick
ness to fit tightly into the hole of the
saucer, and fasten it there with sealing
wax. Sift a little half-mo:st garden
mold and half fill the saucer. plant an
even layer of grains of wheat, cover
thinly with mold, then put in another
laver of wheat, cover with mold to the
top and smooth off the whole. Now
pour water into the wine-glass and
place the little bed on top, when the
water win soak through the stem of
b.otting-paper and thoroughly moisten
the mold A pretty change Is to plant
crosses in the center.

Which Our Young Women Readers VIII
Do Well to Read and Heed.
Be natural; poor diamond IS better

the equality of the sexes.
Observe; the faculty of observation.

and women.
Try 10 be sensible: it IS not a partic-
ular sign of superiority 10 talk like a
fool
Avoid causes of irritation in your
family circle; reflect that home is the
place in which TO be agreeable
Be reticent; the world at large has no
interest in your private affairs
Be ready in time for church: II YOU
do not respect yourself sufficiently to be
punctual, respect the feelings of other
people
Cultivate the habit of listening to
Others. it viii make you an invaluable
member of society. to say nothing OF
the advantage it viii be to You when
you marry: every man likes to talk
about himself; a good listener makes a
delightful wife.
Be contented; martyrs are detest-
able; cheerful, happy spirit Is infec-
tious; you can carry il about with you
Ike a sunny atmosphere
Avoid whispering: i is as bad IS gig
Cling; both are TO be condemned; there
IS no excuse for either one Of them; #
You have anything to say, say it: if you
have not, hold your tongue altogether;
silence is golden.
Be truthful: avoid exaggeration; If
you mean a mile, say a mile, and not q
mile and half: If you mean one, say
one, and not dozen.

The abolition of the house of lords is
question which agitstes the growing
democracy of England, but the new min
istry is not one well intended to impress
an American with the idea that popular
government is fast gaining ground. Of
the sixteen members comprising the new
cabinet, thirteen are mobiles and own
among them 654, 900 acres of land yield
lug an annual income of $1,000, 000.-
They are also the owners of about eighty
five lucrative church livings. This is
the strange combination that is supposed
to represent the English people, that as
sumes control of the government at a
time when great popular questions de-
mand the attention of statesmen Of broad
liberal views. The new cabinet is in
queer predicament. Belonging as it has
to the conservative element it was yalu-
able in opposition, but when called on
to lead it is found wanting. The liberal
party's principles are too far in advance
of it and its old tenants are too unpopu-
lar to now promulgate anew. What its
views on the vital issues are no one seems
to know. Vague concentrations are set
forth which like the utterings of an an
Gent oracle are susceptible of any inter-
probation. No decided line of action has
yet been adopted and the world awaits
eagerly the incuhvtion Of the line of pol
icy that is to guide England under tory
rule.

MYRON H. MCCORD.

This is the name of federal officer
who has just been removed for cause
not purely partisan. Stationed at Wausa
and holding a U. s. Office he was long a
rank republican and one of the satellites
of Sawyer. .. S. commissioner Sparks
called for his resignation stating the
grounds for the same. Thinking this
good opportunity to have fling at the
new administration, McCord seized his
quill and struck off letter full of weak
sarcasm, sore headedness and hypocrisy.
He shed few tears for the old soldiers
who preserved the union which, of course
every democrat was bound to destroy.
He grieves for "the deluded dupes' who
are being turned out and quotes Geo. W.
Curtis when his own language would not
be strong enough to give expression to
his feelings. He seeks to cover up the
fact that he has been called to resign for
neglect of duty. and after citing the
grounds upon which he might be remov
ed, he pompously begs to be relieved as
he is unable to continue in the service of
so Extensively partisan q government as
the present. McCord's fine sensibilities
have been deeply injured. He should
be gently nursed until he fully RECEIVERS.
He is too impartial to live, too honorable
to hold Office, and too pure to suffer
death. When healed again may the
Lord bear him across the shining river
without the sting of death or the faintest
remembrance of the iniquity of politics.

HEREAFTER persons who wish to be-
come admitted to the bar will have to
present themselves before state board.
The next examination will be held in the
court house in Milwaukee on the first
Tuesday in September. The candidate
must previously inform the secretary of
the board of his intention to attend and
on appearing must present certificates of
goood moral character and certifying
that he has studied law at least two years.
This is an improvement on the old sys-
tenn which had dwindled down to mere
formality. Lawyers too are beginning
to feel that their profession is overcrowd-
ed and in causing this law to be passed,
have expressed their belief in the doc
trine of the survival of the fittest. There
is an immense amount of light law bust
ness which light weight lawyers can do.
This materially lessons the business of a
good lawyer and places the young man
of talent and requirements on a level
with the kids who have ''rsad law"

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas began

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas began
his administration of the duties of the
office which he fills with such seeming
devotion to the cause of civil service re-
form, that for brief season it appeared
he would be leading exponent of that
doctrine. But it soon became evident
that the professions were nothing more
than ceremonious exhibition to cloak
purpose as far-reaching as the most
outspoken professional politician ever
formed. In filling positions he has ex
ercised rare good judgment with refer
ence to creating an obligation due him
from the incumbents directly without
the intervention of any third party. A
pretense is made of consulting the dem
ocratic congressman of this state as to
the preferences of the people in appoint
ments in which they have an immediate
interest. But the recommendations do
not seem to be very important factors in
determining the choice of the admins
tration so far as its affairs are managed
by Mr.. Villas.
Custom has crystalized into unwritten
law, the practice of consulting members
of congress as to federal appointments
made in their districts. The custom, no
doubt, is sustained by the good service
it secures. The representative is inter
ested in seeing that his constituency have
efficient and unobjectionable officers
He is to large extent held responsible
for their official conduct He is suppos-
ed to know the wishes of his people, and
it is safe to presume that he Is more in
tent upon pleasing them than in yielding
to the opportunities of Office seekers.
When he has shown that his recommen-
dations are Objectionable to the people,
it is time to ignore him i'll making ap-
pointments.
But Mr.. Villas seems to be too sensible |
of the fact that he is the source of power. |
He does not seem to realize that his |
knowledge of the state is not SO extensive |
as to warrant his making appointments |
within the district of democratic con-
gresham without consulting the man
whom custom has made a proper coun-
selor in such matters.

LooUsTs of the type which once plagu-
ed the Egyptians, are now devastating
southern Russia. They move in immense
swarms and leave the whole country a
desert waste. Various methods are de-
vised for their extinction, but the only
real remedy consists in gathering the
eggs and destroying them. In the island
of Cyprus hundreds OF tons of the eggs
are annually collected and destoyed.--
Millions of the insects are also caught in
traps, but the voracious things can only
be kept down by the former process.

Miss SWEET, whom General Black
asked to resign several months ago, still
holds the fort. 1t is indeed too sweet to
be dropped so easily. What will be done
in the matter is uncertain. To back
down from the position taken will be a
difficult and humiliating one for Black.
For Miss Sweet to remain in the service
after her resignation is demanded is GER
tainly not very honorable.
