We are apt to judge of the talents

would have been if it had beencultured,
matured and refined by edueationl
Many a man now meanly clad, Stunned
for his poverty, and treated as belong
ing to the lower orders of intellect,
might have shone as an orator or a
poet. had he been favored with the adj
vantages of the schools. More men
are born with capabilities of Webster
or Clay than the average OF man
kind ever dream of. We walk daily
among people, many of whom might
have been intellectual giants had they
been Invested of the rubbish Of their
grosser natures and favored by the helps
of the schools. The elements Of many q

One Of the most intensely important
questions which many thousands Of
persons are now watching for an an
swer is, will the new administration
respect the civil service rules? Upon
the answer of this question depends
the tenure of Office of an army of Office
holders. Just at present the prospect
looks rather gloomy for aspirants, and
little encouraging for those still in
position. The multitudes who went
to Washington to witness the inaugur-
alton, anG to pay their respects to the
President and the heads of Depart
ments, have returned to their homes
rather crestfallen, not finding things as
accommodating as anticipated. Post
master General Villas has thus far not
been pliable, but disposed to hold off.
1t is said he has received and filed
$500 petitions for retention of post
masters in Office, and as many more for
appointments.
Those who expected Grover Cleve-
land to begin at once the business Of
beheading Office holders are growing
impatient with his hesitancy, and are
beginning to find fault with his seeming
stubbornness. Some Of his recent de
clarations have alarmed Office expect
ants, aud they are mistrusting his in
tentionS to make anything like gener-
al sweep of present Republican incum-
bents. Cleveland will deserve no merit
fer standing by the civil service rules,
for that is simply obeying law which
every good citizen should do; but it
will stand to his credit if he resists the
pressure and respects the rules which
both Republicans and Democrats con-
CURED in establishing. President
Cleveland now has it in his power to
make hosts of friends by simply re-
speeding a code which the people
through their representatives have
enacted. BY doing right he will be
forgiven multitude of sins that have
been charged against him. The PEG
pie will suspend judgment and wait
for further developments.

POISON IN CANNED GOODS.
Chloride of Zinc, Freely Used by Gamers,
az Deadly az Arsenic.

Chloride of Zinc, Freely Used by Gamers,
as Deadly az Arsenic.
So many cases of poisoning have
taken place by reason of the use of
canned goods that we, seeking for a
definite cause, find it arises from chlor-
ide Of zinc. This is a poison almost as
deadly as arsenic, and has place in
the closing of cans once occupied by
arsenic. Its adoption grew out of the
ease with which it can be used, skilled
labor not being required for its applca-
ton. and besides, though not cheaper in
itself, it could be applied to a cheaper
quality of tin plate, of which the cans
were then made, 1t was not until it
was used for this purpose that cases of
poisoning from the use of canned fruits
and vegetables were known, although
its effects as a poison in foreign coun-
tries, particularly in Germany, England
and France, were subject of medical
and chemical investigation long ago. A
child was fatally poisoned by it in Lon
don. and was unsuccessfully treated by
the faculty of the medical school of
London hospital, and the general symp-
toms OF its maladv were similar to those
attending all the cases of poisoning by
reason Of the use Of canned goods. The
Gamer uses the dangerous material
freely, applying it with a large brush,
working so rapidly as to cap ten cans a
minute, and by the very reason of the
haste and carelcssness of the method
employed admitting a greater or less
amount of the poison into every can.
The consumption of these canned goods,
amounting to ten cans for every person
in the United States every year, gives
an apprcciable idea Of the vastness of
the attack made upon the human stom-
ach in this country. Gamers must stop
using this deadly poison, which attacks
the vital organs with resistless vigor,
and laws that fail to consider this inn
pOrtant feature of the question fail in
an important particular. -BrookIyn

whore 1t Takes Up Its Abode, and tho
Difficulty of Turning Its Members Out.
Daisy is a little girl three years Old.
She has blue eyes that open wide with
wonder when She is surprised and
twinkle with fun and mischief a great
deal of the time pretty little ROSY
mouth and an abundance of long golden
hair.
Now this hair has long been great
trial to Daisy, for it has to be combcd
and brushed every day, and when she
plays housekeeping under the table
with maple sugar for tea, or creeps
under the lounge TO play "bcar," the
hair gets badly tangled, and fairly ties
itself up in knots, 50 that when it is
combed there are a great many Little
shrieks and jumps from Daisy.
But one day when Auntie was brush
ing Daisy's hair she discovered what
made all the trouble. And what do you
suppose il was? Why, n family by the
name of Snarl had moved into Daisy's
hair, and they didn't like to be turned
out There was Father and Mother
Snarl, and Johnny and Susan; besides
a lot of little Snarls. And as Auntie
chased each one to its hiding place she
lectured them and demonstrated with
them on their naughtiness in troubling
Daisy so.
There, Johnny Snarl, l see YOU
hiding behind Daisy's ear. Aren't you
ashamed to plague a little girl so?
Now don't think you can escape; you
will have to come out -
"Ah! that was Susan that pulled so.
She is stubborn girl, is Susan Snarl.
and determined not to come out"
"And here is Mother Snarl, and ever
so many of the little ones with her.
Such provoking family! Even baby
Snarl pulls as hard as he can"
And Daisy gets so interested in the
doingS Of the Snarl family that she for
gets all about the hurt and laughs aloud
ut the discontinue of Johnny or tho
hard chase Auntie has after Susan.
Sometimes the Snarls have company.
a great many aunts and uncleS and
cousins have come to visit them. This
generally happens after Daisy has had
molasses candy frolc, or some UNI
usual romp. But then the fun is great
er than ever with so many to turn out
of doors. And one day Daisy said:
Mamma does the Snarl family ever

mamma said she didn't know, but per

CHARITY.
Discrimination Imperative in Giving to
the Poor.

Discrimination Imperative in Giving to
the Poor.
In giving to the poor, discrimination
should be exercised. Our duty is not
discharged when we have given them
something, simply because we have
given. All interested in the work of
charity know that it is not nearly so adj
visable to give money to the needy as
it is to lay the money out judiciously
for them. 1t is not however, of money
giving that | would write, but of gar
ment giving. Many people are accus-
toned to give half-worn or Outgrown
clothes to the poor without stopping
to consider whether they are suitable
for the person to whom they are given.
How often have we seen poor people,
who can scarcely keep starvation from
the door, arrayed in silk and cmbroid-
cry. The moral effect of this is very
bad. Here is case in point. A wash
erwoman, with a drunken husband and
five children, for whom she must pro-
vide, received numbers of garments
from families by whom she is employed.
MANY of these clothes were beautiful,
fit for children of wealthy families
They were given to the washerw0man
because the children of the donors had
outgrown them. The washcrwoman,
proud of her pretty children in their
fine attire-pOOr woman, the mother
pride is pardonable for mother-lo is
Gods gift to all, rich and poor alike
spent what she should have used for
iood for things to suit the rich apparel,
so that her children might Outshine
those Of her nejghborS. RemOnstrance
was unavailing. Years passed by, and
the children, grown old enough to help
their mother in her hard and weary life,
became millstones to the poor woman.
They would do nothing and had no
thought save for incry. To-day they
are pest to all with whom they come
in contact The foolish mother, worn
out by labor, has only one comfort in
life, ana that is daughter who was so
married by smallpox that the mother
always dressed her in the commonest
clothes, "bccauSc she is 50 awful home
ly," and seldom took her out for the

child did 20 it was only to look after
the younger children. This daughter

injury from the wretchcl father, and

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
JOHNNY RUNS AWAY.

The sky was clear, the stars were bright,
The grass was wet with dew.
When Johnny rose, put on his clothes,
And vowed what he would do.
I'll leave my pa, I'll leave my ma;
I'll go from here to stay;
My parents both have been unkind,
And so III run away.
"Ill take my clothes, I'll take my all,
A slave | will not bc;
III go out west, and do my best
I'll strike for liberty"
And Johnny started bruvely out,
And said ned ne'er return;
He said he'd go where he could live
And let his genius burn.
He Travelled all that summer night,
And bSavClE through tine day;
And then he said: 81 wish that [
Had never run away.
% I'm tired and wcak-Tm SICK" said he,
With sadness in his tone:
" 1t isn't best to 20 out West
AT least to go dJ,ne.
And now I'm in Il pretty fix.
And don't know what to do"
And then he sighed and sObbCd and cried:
" Boo hoo, boo-hoO boo hoo"
The hoY when found, was taken home,
| And was content to stay;
Said he: I'm cured, and rest assured,
No more III run away"

A SHAGGY "NEWSBOY."

True Story of a Faithful and Watchful
Paper Carrier.
The railroad ran along one side of a
beautiful valley in the central part OF
the great State Of New York.
l stood at the rear end of the train,
looking out of the door, when the en-
gineer gave two short, sharp blasts of
the steam whistle. The conductor, who
had been reading newspaper in a seat
near me, arose, and, touching my shout

the platform of the car.
The conductor had folded up his
paper in 4 ght roll, which he held in

lower step Of the car, holding on by

inst rs we swung around a curve in the
track, and a neat farm house came into
view away OF across some open fields.
Suddenly the CONDUCTOR flung the
paper of toward the fence by the side
of the railroad. and l saw black,
shaggy form leap quite over the fence
from the meadow beyond it, and alight
just where the newspaper, after bOunc-
ing along in the grass, had fallen be-

the fence.
1t was a big, black dog. He stood
beside the paper, wagging his tail and
watching Us, as the tram moved swiftly
away from him. Then he snatched
the paper from the ground in his teeth,
and, leapng over the fence again,
away he went across the fields toward
the farmhouse.
When we last saw him, he was a
mere black Speck, moving over the
meadows, and then the cars rushed
through 4 deep cleft in the hillside, and

Reverence for Beauty a Superficial Guam

In profession, we of to-day are all
Crusaders, bnrning to defend the places
made sacred by the picturcsqueness or
associations of the past. In deed, we
are almost all Goths and Vandals, ruin
ing them without mercy. While the
men who are to come will Judge us by
our actions, we Judge ourselves by our
words. Because the speech of a few is
fair, we fancy that all must be right
with the many. Because more is being
said and written about art than ever has
been before, we think that the feeling
for it must be greater in like propor-
ton. In word we mistake our sow
ing of good seed for the reaping of a
fruitful harvest. Once in awhile, how
ever, we are reminded that all is not so
well as it seems. In the United States,
within the last ten wears, art schools
have been established by hundreds.
but when it came to finding out what
they accomplished by an art COMPETE
ton instituted by Harper and Brothers,
the result was shown to be lust moth
