THE GIRL WE ALL LIKE.

THE plaincst girl ever saw" writes
Eli Perkins, "waS favOrite in my
alive town. Everybody liked her
BEAUTIFUL? . no, she is not beautiful
that is, outside. but inside she is an
angel. Nobody thinks of calling her
beautiful. Not one of II dozen can tell
whether her eyes are black or blue.
If you should ask them to describe her
they would only say: She's just right. ,
and there it would end. She is a mer-
ry-hearted, fun-loving, bewitching maid
en-. without spark of envy or malice
III her whole composition. She enjoys
herself, and wants everybody else to do
the same. She has always kind word
and 4 pleasant smile for the oldest man
or woman; in fact, can think of moth
ing she resembles more than sun
beam, which brightcns everything it
comes in contact with. All pay her
marked attention, from rich Mr.. Watts,
who lives in a mansion on the hill, to
negro Sam, the sweep. All look after
her with an admiring eye and say to
themselves: She is just the right sort
of girl!' The young men of the town
vie with one another as to who shall
show her the most attentions; but she
never encourages them beyond being
simply kind and jolly; so no one can
call her ilirt; no. indeed, the young
men all deny such an assertion as
quickly as She"
.'Do girls love her, too?" asked.
Eyes, wonderful to relate, girls like
her too; Cor she never delights in hurt
ng their feelings or saying spiteful
things behind their backs. She is al
ways willing to join in their little plans
and to assist them in any way. They
go to her with their love affairs, and she
manages adroitly to. see Willie or Peter
and drop good word for Ida or Jennie
until their little difficulties are all
patched up and everything goes on
smoothly again, thanks to her. Old
ladies say she is delightful The sly
witch, she knows how to manage them.
She listens patiently to complaints of
rheumatism or neuralgia, and then
sympathizes with them so heartily that
they are more than half cured"

FASCINATING FEMALE LOBBYISTS.

There are several new faces among
the lobbyists here this session, writes a
Washington correspondent, among
them those of half a dozen very pretty
women. One came here from the south
ut the first of the session with big
claim. Several lawyers had tried their
hands at it before and failed ignOmin-
iOusly. The widow, however, landed
in Washington and took up apartments
ut one of the best hotels. Then she be-
gan making congressional acquaint-
anccs. 1t was not long before the
members found that her rooms were a
very pleasant place to spend an even
ing. The lady was a clever and bril-
liant cOnversationalist, and she became
noted for her witticisms and bright say
ings. After campaign of three
months her claim passed both branches
of congress, and it only requires the
presidents signature TO become q law.
Another lady here has been making a
specially of mail-routes. She has a
great deal of influence ut the postoflice
department, and contractors often find
il for their interest to invoke her aid
OF course in each case where she is sue
cessful good round fee is cxactcd.
Taken as "a whole, the lobby is having
very prosperous season, and while there
may be some individual cases of dis
content, the majority of the workers are
in a very happy state of mind.

ANOTHER ROUTE.

Manitoba is quite enthusiastic
over the report of the engineers who
have just gone over the proposed
route of railway from Lake Win
nipeg to James Bay, the southern
arm Of Hudson's Bay. The line is
pronounced entirely practicable, and
the engineers think it will not cost
more than $S,O00,OOO. 1t is not
easy from this point of view to UNI
derstand why the Manitobans should
be so exultant over the certainty
that there would be no difficulty in
building railroad to the mouth of
the Nelson River. The great OBJ
stacle in the way of route to
Europe by way of Hudson's Bay is
ice, not lack of railroads. If way
could be discovered to keep Hudson
Strait open for even three months
every summer between HudsOn's
Bay and the ocean all would be
plain sailing for the projected new
route, but whether or not that can
be done is very doubtful.

time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine po-
lcies approximates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.

1T WILL BE CLEAN SWEEP.

There are very few who appreciate
the rapidity with which official
changes are daily made. Mr.. Clevc-
land has not been in Office year,
but he has made over25, 900 changes,
and it is believed the full years
work will aggregate 10000. IL will
be large enough at any rate to indi-
cate clean sweep before the presi-
dents term of office expires.
About thirteen hundred men have
been appointed to important offices;
and these men have caused within
the law fully five thousand changes.
Assistant Postmaster-G General Steven
son has decapitated $4,000 fourth
class postmasters, and he is working
with steadiness and increasing dis
patch. Postmasters and internal
revenue collectors and host of
other officials are making minor APP
pointments in all cases where they
have the right of removal and APP
pointment; and altogether it is
certain full one-quarter of the entire
civil service will be in democratic
hands by the fourth day of next
month.
1t is computed that decapitation
has gone on at the average rate of
twelve per hour-the official working
day being eight hours. One head
has dropped in the official basket
every five minutes during the year
nearly ended. If this pace is main
tanned, the great work will be fully
accomplished inside of the limit.
The official axe will doubtless move
faster and freer as the headsmen
become familiar with the work in
hand, and practically one more year
will revolutionize our civil service,
and give the people good oppor-
tunity to make up their minds as to
the value of the change. President
Cleveland is very busy man, and
we may depend upon it that he is
making changes as rapidly as he can
without detriment to the public SER
vice. He is holding fast to the civil
service reform act, and is working
the axe vigorously outside of it.

A BIC STATE.

The ticket agents experience at
station on the Main Central railroad
in selling lady and boy ticket
to Montana has been the rounds of
the papers. This lady didn't care
in what part of the great territory
she landed, provided she got to
Montana. Her husband was in
Montana, and she wanted ticket
to 60 to Montana. The ticket agent
tried to reason with the woman and
explain matters to her by enumer-
ating the principal stations and
towns to which he sold tickets in
that territory, but to no avail. The
lady wanted q ticket to Montana
and would take nothing less; so the
agent selected one to such station as
he saw fit. She paid for it and took
the train. At Danville Junction she
and her boy and traps were trans
ferred to the Grand Trunk. At
West Paris, Me-, the lady and boy
got off the train. The conductor
noticed her as his train was leaving
the station, and, knowing that she
was ticketed for long journey, he
stopped the train and said: "Look
here, madam, what are you off here
for? You are not at the end of your
journey. Come on board, will your"
The lady was nonplussed, and as
she gathered up her bundles she told
the conductor she understood him to
say that that station was Montana,
and she supposed she'd got there.
She thought it was time to be there,
anyhow. The conductor told her
she would think it twas time" to
get there after she had riden five
days and five nights.
"Why, lady," said the uniformed
gentleman, "you are not out of the
state of Maine yet" "Law!" re-
Joined the lady, as she passed into
the car, "what big state this is !''-

BRITTLE HooFS.

How to Relieve Horses Suffering from
This Malady.
Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs, caused by deficiency Of
water in the bone. This is caused in
various ways-fever of the feet, or the
common founder; inflammation of the in.
terror of the foot; exposure to ferment-
ing manure or filthy stables, by which
the horn is saturated with moisture con-
tanning ammonia, leaving the feet Gov.
cred with mud; or even continued not
or dry weather. or an unhealthy condi.
ton of the system, will produce this
trouble in the feet. The horn becomes
dry and graduated, and separates very
easily, crumbling or splintering away
until there is scarcely crust enough left
to fasten a shoe upon. The remedy Is,
OF course, to remove the cause and re-
store the moisture. Frequent washing
of the feet with cold water, with atten-
ton to the health, and to give the horse
clean bedding and an earth floor to
stand upon, or else deep bed of saw.
dust, will prevent it, or cure it in many
cases. Glycerine and water in equal
parts is an excellent dressing for the
hoofs. An occasional soft feed, as bran
mashed with little linseeed, is also
useful, because it keeps the horse in
good health and cool. Tar is some
times used as a hoof dressing with ad.
vantage, but it needs caution in its ap-
plication.-Boston Transcript.

FAT MEN.
How Corpulence il Regarded in the East
and In the West.

How Corpulence IL Regarded I'm the East
and In the West.
To the student of ethnology few
things are more interesting than the
different views held by the Eastern and
Western worlds on the subject of cor.
pulence. In China corpulencc is con.
sidered to be one of the most i'm.
portant qualifications for the hold.
ing of any public Office. 1t is re.
garded as physical virtue, which i'm.
parts dignity to the appearance, weight
to the judgment and sOlidity to the
mind. In China the thin man is always
moody and disappointed, he sees HIM
self easily Outstripped in the race Of
life by his stouter contemporaries, and.
enraged ut the unjust distribution Of
natures gifts, he retires usually into
obscurity and shuns the gaze of his fel.
low-citizens. Banting, except as pun.
ishment for great criminals. is unknown
in China. The most popular gods in
the Chinese Pantheon are those re.
markable for their obesity. With
us in Europe how different it is!
Daniel Lambert, whom the Chinese
would have sent to province as a
Mandarin, we sent to museum as a
monstrosity. Byron's tendency to
grow fat was one of the secrets of his
melancholy, and the declining years OF
the first gentleman in Europe were rem.
dered miserable by the stoutness which
even stays could not conceal. 1t is true
that Shakespeare intended Hamlet to be
fat, feeling probably that it would be
characteristic of such lethargic ma
ture; but modern audiences are not
ready to accept fat Hamlets; they pre-
fer thin Hamlets, and even lean Ham.
lets, and seem to be of opinion that
there is an artistic discord between ro-
nance and rotundity. And, indeed, il
can not be doubted that this opinion ia
very widespread. The only instance
to the contrary that we know of is in
the case of lady who, on being shown
the Apollo Belvidere, remarked that she
preferred ''stouter statutes;" but this
lady was from Chicago, and the idea OF
making bulk the test of beauty is one
purely American, and is not yet accept
ed in European aesthetics.-PaU Mall
Gazette.
