say.
HE had neither father nor mother
nor any kinsfolk, and don't know
what was the boys idea of home of
his own. He was very happy here-a
sort of ruler among the other boys.
Yet he went on saving, and always for
that purpose. He was never q strong
boy, and when he was sixteen heavy
cold he took went to his lungs. It only
needed a week or two to make an end
of his poor little body. One day he
said to me, just after the clergyman
had been with him: That money I've
saved-it will be enough to pay the
doctor and buy coffin for me-
But, Joe,' said, how about the
home of your own?'
He did not answer me at first, and
then he smiled, saying: That's all
rightr and he held my hand tight.
Ell have it. That's all right!'
1.-The next day it was all over. We
took Joe's money and paid the doctor,
and bought him coffin. 1t didn't need
big one. The boys dubbed together,
giving ten cents each, and bought a
lovely pillow of white roses, with Our
Joe, on it. Every boy got tag Of
black on his arm to go to the funeral.
He had his own home then, sir. But
wherever he was, think the roses
must have pleased him"

busted little Joe's chair with her apron,
setting it reverently apart into quiet
corner.-Y Youths Companion.

IMPORTANCE OF SUGAR.

The Prehistoric Way of Obtaining the
Saccharine Qualities of Food.
Sugar is one of the most important of
foods. When it does not exist as such
it has to be manufactured in the body
out of starch. Thus when primeval
man discovered grains that could serve
as food, such as wheat, oats, Indian
corn, rice and the like, he doubtless
ground the grains slowly between the
teeth. This broke up the grain SO that
saliva could act upon the starch. But
only a small portion of the starch
granules would be thus broken, and
the saliva, acting upon them, gave but
little sugar. In the stomach the cover
ing of the starch grains was dissolved
off, and the secretion of the pancreas,
sim liar to saliva in this regard,
converted it into sugar. AS such it
could be taken up into the blood and
carried on to the liver, where it was
stored up in the shape of animal
starch" until needed, and sent into the
blood again as sugar into which it was
reconverted as the system needed it
This was the old-fashioned, prehistoric
way of obtaining the sugar from the
starchy foods Milk contains free
sugar, as does the juice of many fruits
and plants, and the wild honey-bee
came also to the wild mans aid to less
en- the work of his jaws and pancreas.
The whole catalogue of nut-bearing
trees, the seeds of all fruits and of all
the grasses furnished him with starch
for his internal sugar factory. The
grinding of grain between stones
worked by hand, and finally by
water or steam, has finally re-
moved almost all labor from the teeth
in the way of preparing the different
grains for the action of the sugar-mak-
ing digestive juices. The invention of
cooking was still greater progress in
the way of saving work. The action of
heat is to burst the capsule in which
each little grain of starch is inclosed,
thus allowing the saliva to gain access
to the interior of each particle, hasten
ing the change into sugar. Not only
this, but the heat does considerable of
this changing in the absence of all di-
gestive juices. For this reason toastis.

Facts to lie Explained by Those Repub-
licans Who Claim That the Democracy
Only Is Split by Factions.
A recent attempt of Hon. William
Z. Chandler to restore harmony
throughout the length and breadth of
the Republican party is likely to end
in failure He published card some
time ago in which he pronounced
.'baseless" a statement made by the
chairman of the National Republican
Committee, Mr.. B. T. Jones, at the
close of the campaign of 1884, to the
effect that President Arthur and his
Cabinet had shown want of fidelity
and zeal in the Blaine canvass. After
thus in sufficiently explicit way
calling Mr.. Jones liar. Mr.. Chandler
proceeded to deprecate, in a beauti
ful passage, the tendency among the
leaders of his party to indulge in per-
sonal quarrels. He thought Mr.. Blaine
acted iron sudden impulse when he
declined Mr.. Edmunds' hand at the
Arthur funeral, and thereby widened
breach which, like that with Mr..
Conkling, ought never to have exist
3D." Then, holding behind him the
"
Jones over the head, Mr.. Chandler
continued: while our great Republic
an leaders quarrel, the party suffers,
and by reason of such differences loses
Presidential election. 1t is for the
interest of the country that such purely
personal controversies should not arise
or continue between prominent leaders
of either party.
Mr. Homes apnearS TO have been more
deeply impressed with the club than
the olive branch portion of Mr.. Chan
dler's letter. for in an interview which
is published he says that his statement
of 1884 was not ..baseless. but entire
" true. and then makes these pointed
and decidedly unfriendly personal al
lusions to Mr.. Chandler:
So far as Mr.. Chandler.s reference tn me
personally is concerned ] do not feel called
upon TO defend myself. have no taste for,
nor do see any present occasion for discus
ST m as to political methods with one whose
plans and proposals during the brief inter-
course had with him in the campaign of
those having the success of the Republican
party at heart. His criticisms at that time of
men then the most prominent in the party do
not seem to me quite consistent with his pres
ent expressions of regret in regard to bad
feeling between public men. would not ike
to feel called upon to make PUBLIC the facts
based.
If Mr.. Jones opinion of MIR. Chan
dler is any thing like that which the
intelligent public has long held of him,
it would be interesting to see it set
forth with ample specifications. Mr..
Chandler should let party harmony
look out for itself long enough to ca1l
upon Mr.. Jones for bill of partieu-
lars.-N Y. Post.

OUR MEPHISTCPHELES.

How President Arthur Came Finally to
Suspect James O. Blaine.
The remarkable story said to have
been related by the late President Ar
thur to Judge Draper and Chairman
Warren, during the Blaine campaign
of 1884, and given to the public for
the first time in the New York Times,
is pronounced authentic by Judge
Draper. Although the main facts in
the case were known at the time OF
the Senatorial fight in 1881, yet the
plain unvarnished account given by
Mr.. Arthur throws new light on a
crisis from which may be dated the
downfall of the Republican party. 1t
will be remarked that the late Presi-
dent related the particulars of the
quarrel between Conkling and Gar
field in order to emphasize his advice
to the two Stalwart leaders not to mis-
lead their followers in supporting
Blaine's candidacy by pledges which
previous experience in half-breed
honor taught him would not be full
filled, should Blaine be elected.
The hand of President Garfield's
Secretary of State is plainly discerni-
BILE in the cunningly devised plot to de-
ceive Conkling and Grant, and the
New York Senator felt that behind
Garfield stood the Half Breed Mephis-
topheles, directing the plot which cul
minated in the nomination of Judge
Robertson. Arthur did not know Blaine
and his powers of deception as well as
Conkling did and he relied, as he says,
implicitly on the assurances of Gar
field. When Mephistopheles became
the nominee of the party in 1884, the
Republican President, while loyal to
his party and prepared to acquiesce in
the decision of the National conven-
ton, considered it his duty to warn the
Stalwart leaders against being de-
ceived as he was four years previously.
His words are emphatic on the subject:
LET me say to you, as friend, as
sumo no responsibility for the future
course of Mr.. Blaine's administration
in this State. Allow none of our
friends to be deceived with false
hopes" He bore lively remem-
brance of the words of President
Garfield to Conkling. Platt and himself
the Sunday previous to the appoint
ment of Judge Robertson to the col
1ectorship: II am not prepared
yet to take any action on New 7 DIRK
matters and shall not be for some
time"
He also considered that the ruling
spirit of GarfeTd's Administration had
become the choice of the Republican
National convention. and that the in
fiuence which operated against him
self and his friends on a former occa-
sion had lost none of its malignity.
The loyalty of the late President to
his party would not permit him to
counsel any dissatisfaction in the
ranks. Bnt he knew that Blaine was
not to be trusted and he was impelled
to warn his friends against the Mephis-
topheles of the party. Time has not
the situation or changed
the feelings of some of the Republican
leaders towards Mr.. Blaine. They
know HIM to be a trickster, and his
magnetism to consist of his re-
markable powers of deception--Alba-
ma Ar9uS.

No wonder the state treasury is
depleted, and an extra tax is to be
levied to put something in it for
Republican officials to squander
away. In the published list of ar
ticles paid for out of the contingent
fund of the Ohio House during the
late session of the trump" legisla-
ture, appears the sum of $3S.15 for
sponges, 1925 for cork screws, $1S
for thermometers, Sc for pumice
stone, $42 for chloride of lime and
$3.50 for sixty-seven packs of
cards! The chloride of lime no
doubt was a necessity, but what in
the name of Christianity did the
great "moral" and reform" Repub-
lican legislature want with sixty
seven decks of cards? And why
should the state of Ohio have to pay
for them? Is it any wonder the
state treasury was emptied under
such management?
