WASHINGTON, March 11.-Not since the
November election have those who made up
the rank and file Of the great army of office
holders in Washington felt as easy in mind
as they do to-day. Great cheerfulness,
amounting almost to exuberance, is the pre-
vailing demeanor in the departments. Mr..
Cleveland's letter to Mr.. Curtis
helped to allay the panic which
the result of the election started
among the people. Expressions from time
to time and the inaugural address helped to
restore confidence. Now come five of the
ining their positions.
Mr. Bayard SAYS: ''I am heartily in favor
of civil service reform, as are all the mem
bers of the administration SO far as 1 know"
Mr.. Endicott says: II asserted that when
should be to insist on the faithful discharge
of public duties and the retention of
ALL FAITHFUL EMPLOYEES
in Office, no matter what their politics might
be, so long as the latter had not been made
pre-eminent over their duties NV record is
made, and of course I shall stand by it."
Mr.. Garland saws: 81 am com mmitted to
civil service reform as member of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet. The presidents letter
of acceptance and inaugural address define
the position of himself and the cabinet"
and then points to the significant fact that as
a senator he voted for the enactment Of the
law.
Secretary Whitney declares that the ad-
ministration is in favor of the civil service
law, but evidently entertains some mental
reservations as to the manner of its enforce
ment. He pronounces it one of the easiest
laws to evade, and until a cabinet council
has settled the construction to be put upon
it, he does not seem exactly willing to de-
clare himself.
WITHOUT RESERVE.
However, he does not doubt that it will
be natural and unstrained Interpretation of
it that will be adopted and that its spirit as
well as the letter will be faithfully carried
out''
Secretary Manning says: ''I am in favor
of it but, being an old newspaper man and
New York politician to boot, must refuse to
enter into the subject at length"
Messrs. Lamar and Villas are as vet too
deeply immersed in learning the intricate de-
tails of their offices to spare time for an in
teryiew.
a visit through the departments shows the
extent to which the hopeful feeling exists.
Among the heads of bureaus and chief

shops here just before quitting time this
evening, and announced to the men that the
wages prevailing in the shops prior to Sep
tember last would be restored, dating
from March 1. This action Of
the company, he said, was taken
in consideration of the loyalty of the men
and cheerful manner in which they had con-
tinued their work under trying circum..
stances. The restoration amounts to from
10 to Is per cent, according to the wages
earned by the men in different departments.

useful which cost money. But remember
that pure water. fresh air and sunlit homes
kept free from dampness, will secure you
from many heavy bills of doctors and give
You health and yigor which no money can

the people who live much in the sun are
usually stronger and more healthy than
those whose occupations deprive them of
sunlight; and certainly there is nothing
strange in the result, since the same law
applies with equal force to every animate
thing in nature. 1t is quite easy to arrange
an isolated dwelling so that every room
may be filed with sunlight some time in
the day, and it is possible that many town
houses could be so built as to admit more
light than they now receive.

every room in the dwelling should have

of admitting the light of the sun freely to
all parts of our dwellings cannot be too
highly estimated Indeed. perfect health
is nearly as much dependent upon pure
sunlight as it is on pure air. Sunlight
should never be excluded except when SO
bright as TO be uncomfortable to the eyes,

AstroIogy and Human STUPIDITY

Eclipses, comets, and coniunctions of
the superior planets play great part in
State astrology. Some well-authenticated
cases of success in this department are on
record. One astrologer, by name Landino,
according to Villari, drew the horoscope of
religion, and predicted, from a conjunction
ef Jupiter and Saturn, that on the 25th of
November, 1854, a great reformation of the
Christian religion would take place, and it
is singular that Luther was born in the
very month of November of 1888 or 1854
some doubt existing as TO the year. Tycho
Braha predicted from the comet of 1877
that in the north of Finland there would
be born prince, who should lay waste
Germany and vanish in 1882. Now, Gus
tavus Adolphus. it is well-known, was
born in Finland, overran Germany,
and died in 1882. It is also very singu-
lar that during the very worst period
of The late troubles in Ireland Saturn
should have been passing through
Taurus, q sign which astrologers say rules
Ireland, and, prior to the passing of the
Land Act, Jupiter and Venus should have
been in conjunction with Saturn in the
same sign. Also, just before the assassina-
ton of President Garfield, two comets
first seen in the United States-appeared
in right ascension, corresponding to Gem
I'M, sign, again, said by astrologers to
rule the United States. Now, it is an old
astrological doctrine that comet, visi-
bic to the naked eye, appearing in the
ruling sign of country, portends the vio-
lent death of the chief ruler. There is no
doubt that it is because of chance coinci-
dences of this sort that astrology main
tanned its place for such q long period OF
time and that even at the present day
many, otherwise well educated people, are
led to think there is something in it.
