Invisible Mothers-in-Law.

To support the idea that mothers-in-
law have never been favorably regard
ed, ethnologists tell us that singular
custom, which enacts that man shall
never look upon the face of his mother
in-law after he is once married, prevails
amongst numerous savage peoples ap-
parently widely sundered by geographic
cal distribution and difference of race.
The custom obtaius among the CAT
fires, of South Africa, among several of
the Australian tribes, and among many
Polynesians. fact which some people
assume to point to a common origin of
these races, but which others look upon
as a testimony of the existence of a
natural law, as a piece of wisdom in
digenous to each of these countries, and
the direct growth of the individual ex-
perience.
The custom being found in such wide
ly separated continents as Africa and
Australia, is considered as proving that
it must have been suggested by some
common necessity of human nature
and reasons are not wanting to show
why savages discovered it was better
for a man not to look upon his mother
ip-law. Primarily, say the supporters
of this theory, because his mother-in-
law was a picture in anticipation of
what his wife was likely to be.
Before marriage, mans mind may
not be open to the cold processes of
comparison, but afterward he begins to
consider what sort of bargain he has
made, and if his mother-in-law has not
improved with age, the CHASTITY posi-
bility of his wife becoming like her rises
before him. Hence these savage tribes
prescribed the rule that never after mar
rage should a man see his mother-in-
law, and this in time became a social
law or custom. York Journal.

The Newspaper Plant.

1t seems that in certain far-away ter
ritories called New Mexico and Arizona.
there are great tracts of desoiate desert
lands, where the very hills seem desti-
tute of life and beauty. and where the
earth is shriveled from centuries of
terrible heat. And in these desert
tracts grow curious, misshapen, gro
tesque and twisted plant that seems
more like goblin tree than real one.
Of all the trees in the world, you
would imagin this to be the most out
cast and worthless-so meager living
does it obtain from the waste of sand
and gravel in which it grows. And
yet this goblin tree is now being sought
after and utilized in one of the worll's

Uncle Pompey's Gallantry.

Old Uncle Pompey Camden lives in
Detroit. He is past 20 years of age,
black as the absence of all light and en-
dowed with the qualities that make the
natural courtier. 1t is true that his oc-
cupation is mental, but he dignifies even
his old ash cart. He was tidying up an
alley for Cass farm patron the other
day when the lady of the house and one
of her daughters, standing on the grass
plot in the backyard, caught his eye.
He had known them many years, and
evidently thought it incumbent on him
to do the gallant act.
..Deed, miss" said he, addressing
the daughter. "you'se lookin' mighty

Civil and Military Service.

| ANAA s~ANA 1OA WV.
The attempt to increase the army Of
the United States from $4,000 to 10000
has failed for this session of Congress.
The reasons given for the increase were
good, and ought to have prevailed. A.
the same time the refusal to increase it.
wrong as 1t undoubtedly was in itself,
bears striking testimony to the pacific
nature of our government and the
unique position which it holds in the
family of nations, historical and actual.
The system of government under which
we live is so adjusted that the arbitra.
ment of the sword is one of the more
remote Of possibilities.
A recent statement from Washington
gives the number of our civil service
force as ITO, 900, in round numbers, or
more than four times the military force.
The United States is the only nation on
earth, now or at any previous time in
the worlds history. to have larger
civil than military force, and if the navy
were added to the army the civil list
would far exceed it. The postoffice
alone employs 52,632 persons. These
appointees are not drones, either, but
workers. No doubt there is good deal
of soldering" but no more in proper
ton than in any other line of business.
As class the government employees
are Woodworking, intelligent, and
trusty. Defalcations are rare, and the
business is most excellently conducted.
The railroads, banks, ETC., of the coun-
try can none of them claim more eff
cheney or less defalcations. The vol
ume of the work performed, and the
quality of 1t, may well make an Ameri-
can citizen proud of his country. Com
pare our civil service with that of any
other government and the odds are
clearly in our favor, despite all the I'M
favorable remarks made about the needs
of reform.
The military service in time of peace,
as it obtains in the old world, is largely
devoted to killing time. A large stand
ing army, with no war on hand, is a
vast aggregate of men waiting for
something to turn up. They are sub
ject to all the Decentralization of idle
ness, and constitute mischief breeders
in the community where they may be
quartered. This is not true of our own
standing army, for it is so small and so
occupied, between Indians and forts,
that it is not a social plague spot, but
in Europe the standing armies con-
stitute a serious and continuous bane,
potent factor for evil in society. Moth
ing of the kind can be alleged against
the civil service. The 10000 are an
integral part of the industry of the
country, and have no time hanging
heavily upon their hands, operating as
constant temptation to vice. This
difference is of far more Importance
than the mere economical advantages
of having civil service overtop the mil
itary. The country which can get on
with less than one soldier to four civil
service employees should be accounted
most highly favored among nations

Grover was not so dull as not to appreciate

She Knew Her Strong Point.

A little four-year-old girl, resident
of Minnesota's capital city, is not noted
for her beauty, though possessed of a
very sweet disposition and remark
ably bright mind. She was recently
presented to minister who CHANGED to
be visiting at her home. He took her
little face between his two bands and
looked down at her in a most scrutiniz-
ing manner. She evidently anticipated
that her face would not bear the close
inspection, as. turning her eyes in the
direction of his face, she lisped out:

He who marries beauty-unattended even
though 1t is-through pure love, marrles moi
more wisely than he who marries through
motives mercenary. The last gets at least
something Of real substance, while the first
closes with an isnis-fatuus which soon van

train of evils in its wake. repeat beauty is
ever selfish, vain, cold and cracting, hard to
win, and when won, owing to Its vast estimat-
ion Of self, hard TO satisfy and keep. The
beautiful forever look back upon their past
triumphs, forever puff up their souls on past
nattery, and ever consider their fortune be-

marrying beauty. Wealth may with more inn
