The Real Ruler of Canada.

The central figure in the Canadian
parliament is also the greatest figure in
Canada. He is Sir John A. Macdonald,
the real ruler Of Canada, with but a
short interruption for twenty five years,
and the greatest man British North
America has produced. Other politici-
ans are there, dozen Of them, who
have been knighted by the queen, but
while he is, like them, Knight Command
er of the Provincial Order Of st.
Michael and St. George he is more
than that He is Knight Commander Of
the Bath, and, more than that, he is a
member of the Imperial Privy Council,
which is distinction enjoyed by no
other man in Canada. The, others are
honorable; he alone is right honorable,
like William E. Gladstone. Sir John
is 70 years old, and has been q legislator
for forty wears -. -

Disease and Happiness.

In the case of Carlyle, who creaIed
Ind groaned under dyspepsia for over
eighty-four years, so uncommon case
Doubtless, no one would think OF speak
Of him as an illustration Of health; but
was there not in him more of the essen CO
of bodily health than in Keats, who pro-
badly enjoyed far more in his short life
than ever Carlyle did in his long one,
but who died at twenty five, or than
Kirke White, who died at twenty-one?
Perhaps Sir Andrew Clark would say
that health is one thing, and strength
another; and that while joy in living is
the definite criterion of health, it is not
ut all a criterion of tenacity or strength.
But is Joy in living the criterion even
of health in all kinds of organizations
alike? Is it not true that one disease,
and that sometimes q mortal disease,
leaves the overspill of joy almost unat-
fected, while another, without the
smallest deadliness, will extinguish
while it lasts every possibility of joy?
Every one. knows how much Of radiance
of life consumption often admits and
how much OF gloom is due to every slight
affection of the liver. Surely the greater
number Of medical men would hardly
subscribe to Sir Andrew Clark's doc.
trine, that in all kinds of constitutions
joy in living is the criterion Of health.
Excess of vital energy which does not
consume itself in any form of action fire.
quently bubbles over in mere delight;
butsurely there may be no such excess
In many constitutions in whicht he bal
ance Of perfect health is still maintained.
A constitutional gloom sometimes besets
persons who in every other respect are
absolutely healthy, persons in whom no
change Of air, or scene, or occupation
would produce for any appreciable du-
ration of time that ebullition of spirits
which alone can be properly called jov

Sham Duties to Society"

It is wise and suggestive saying that
the Wilkie Collins puts in the mouth OF
one of his characters: that one may live
comfortably on certain income named,
.proyided that she does not owe duties
to society!" How many piece Of ex-
travagance is excused and CLOSED over
with the plea that really one is obliged
to do this or thatthat it wouldn't look
well not to, etc. But who is really de-
,ceiyed by the excuse or the foolish act
itself? There are homes that are made
vretched through this notion Of duty to
society which conflicts with duty to the
family. If every woman looked faith
fully to her work at home, lived within
her means, attended to each real obliga-
ton, there would be fewer discontinued
women yainly seeking for an outlet for
their surplus energy New York Post.

Boycotting Tobacco Chewers.

From the Buffalo Express.
Thirteen charming young women OF
Newark, N. j., have begun rusade
against young men who chew tobacco.
They are banded together by terrible
oath never to allow the lips of tobac-
co chewer to kiss their pure mouths.
An able reporter represents a blonde
with luscious crimson lips, languishing
blue eyes, and a winsome face, as ex-
claiming, "To fill ones mouth with
filthy tobacco, and then kiss the pure
lips OF woman, is-is---is-oh, [ can't
find words to expires, my horror" A
piquant little brunette, whose sparkling
black eyes seemed to emit sparks of
electric fire." asserted that she had
three different young men, who we're
"real nice looking. kiss her while their
breaths smelled of lawful, awful nasty
tobacco" and for over week thereafter
she felt compelled to continually rub
her lips with handkerchief in the vain
hope of wiping off the stained kisses.
It may be very real evil that the New.
ark young women are organizing
against, but, if it's fair question, We
should like to know what kind of young
women these must be that confess to
lending their lips to SO much promiscu'
GUS kissing. <.. 4 ! .s

DR.. Cohn, Of Breslau, in the. years
1864 and 1856 examined the eyes Of TO-
060 scholars, and found 1850 Of them
with eyes of defective shape. OF these
1,072 were myopic, 139 we're dat-eyed
% were the subjects OF astigmatism, and
396 were suffering from the results of
previous disease. DR.. Cohn further
found that faulty shape Of the eyeballs,
especially in the direction at myopia,
increased steadily, both in numerical
prevalence and in degree, as school was
prolonged; being least frequent and
least pronounced in the, elementary
schools. more frequent and more pro-
nounced in the intermediate, most FREE

Chairman O.. ". Bird.

In beating about for chairman of
their state central committee, the Demo-
Gratis are thinking strongly of appointing
Colonel G. w. Bird, of Jefferson, to
rattle around in the position held by DR..
Anderson, who. as a reward for his non
partisan and not at all Offensive" meth.
DDS, has been given the Office of consul to
Montreal, position worth 1000 year.
Colonel Bird is good man for the posi-
ton of chairman and the Republicans
would find him as difficult to circumvent
and organize against as any man the
Democrats could select. Colonel Bird is
reported as saying that in the event of
being placed at the head of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee his aim and
purpose would be to force the temperance
issue to the front next year, to the end
that the license legislation of last year
be repealed.
The change that time works in men s
opinions is often very palpable and here
we haYe an instance Of it. Not many
years since Colonel Bird wa. leading
member of the order of Good Templars
and quite prominent in the councils of
the faithful in jefferson county, holding
positions of honor and trust among the
temperance brethren and it may be as
sumed was in favor of forcing the pro-
hibition issue to the front. But Demo.
cratic communications appear to have
wrought change in the Colonel's views
as to what is right and proper on the
temperance question and he now stands
ready to carry the war into Africa against
his former temperance friends in the
vain attempt to secure Wisconsin for the
Democracy nextyear.

SerUice for Deaf Mattes.

The Episcopal church in this country
has three ordained clergymen who are
deaf mutes. Their ministratioDs are
necessarily confined to ministrations
among deaf mutes. Very frequently
what is called a combined service" is
held, in which one clergyman interprets
for deaf mutes, what is read by another
clergyman. Such church services have
been held in Milwaukee and other places
in this state. One of these deaf mute
clergymen, the Rev. A. w. Mann, of
Cincinnati, o, is expected to visit
Watertown, July 1st, and hopes to gather
a small congregation of deaf mutes at St.
Paul's church. Further notice of such
service will be given.
