REPRESENTATIVE Lawler of Illi-
nois has a loseI head. lie thinks it
the height Of nonsense to trife
away the time Of Congress in de-
vising means to reduce the surplus
revenue when q million of men are
unemployed and our coast defences
inadequate to protect the lake and
sea-coast commerce. A large pro-
portion of this surplus, he advises,
should be spent to properly equip the
coast defences, build ships and put
unemployed labor to work.
This meets The CAPITALS views,
and we hops Mr.. Lawler will urge
thenr before Congress with his ac-
customcd zeal and ability. The
trifing. individual tax upon our
fifty-nine millions Of people is not
oppressive to any one, but when
aggregated affords a powerful means
of beneiitting the poor who want
employment and will add largely to
oursafety and independence as a
nation. b

Dogs in Dog Days.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
"The appellation of dog days, as
applied to Augustus heated term"
said a prominent dog-fancier yester-
day, probably originated hundreds
of years ago, when droyes of dogs
were kept in Oriental cities, with
the idea that the animals were san
titary necessity, as they consumed a
large portion of the household refuse.
These dogs being unsheltered during
midsummer, We're subject to intense
heat, which affects a canine's brain
very quickly, and sends him off into
mild sort of fit. The animal then
dashes around frantically, making a
great deal of noise and attracting con-
siderable attention, but usually doing
no harm whatever. In years past it
was no uncommon sight in Philadel-
phia for dog to dart through the
city, alarming the residents on every
side; but now it is rare thing, as all
superfuous dog-fesh is disposed of
blythe dog-catchers, and those puppies
that are unmolested are those gener-
ally thought something of and well
cared for.
GA man who knows anything
about dogs can detect one of these
spells, and can check itquickly, The
animal will stick his tail between his
legs, whine piteously and act as if
startled. The only remedy is to hold
him under hydrant, allowing the
stream to flow over his head, thereby
cooling his brain. All dogs are liable
to be attacked, particularly fine-bred
dogs which have been over-exerted
and over-heated

Boycotting a Girl.

A new phase of boycott has made
its appearance in the little town of
Coon Rapids, Ia, where resides win
some little maiden of 10 summers,
whose charms are only equalled by
the fickleness of her disposition.
Among the small boys of the village
she was an acknowledged belle, and
feeling herself secure of all their
hearts, she had not hesitated to play
most cruelty upon their young affec-
lions, torturing them with alternate
smiles and frowns, dropping herlatest
lover the moment she espied another
whom she fancied. This sort of thing
the. youthful SWANS endured until
their patience finally gave out, and
so the other day they held a meeting
and passed the following resolution:
Whereas, for nearly two years, we
whose names appear below, have been
sighted, disappointed, misguided and
ill-treated by a heartless cOquette,
without cause or prOvocation; there
fore, be it resolved, that we hereby,
each and every one of us, severally
agree to give her the grand bounce
that is to say, have nothing to do
with her, or go with her to any par
ty or place, or treat her to ice cream
or lemonade, and to do everything in
our power to make her feel bad and
miserable for the period Of one year"

Household Training.

A contemporary, who is generally
well informed upon matters whereof
he writes, furnishes the following:
"Training girls for household duties
ought to be considered as necessary as
instruction in writing and arithmetic
and quite as universal. We are in
our houses more than half of our ex-
istence, and it is the household sur
reundings which affect more largely
the happiness or misery Of domestic
life. If the wife knows how to keep
house, if she understands how to set
table, if she has learned how things
ought to be cooked, how beds should
be made, how carpets should be
swept, how furniture should be dust
ed, how the clothes should be IRE
pared and turned and altered and re-
novated if she knows how purchases
can be made to the best advantage,
and understands the laying in of pro-
visions, howto make them go fur
thest and last longest; if she appreci-
ates the Importance of system, order,
tidiness and the quiet management of
children and servants, then she knows
how to make little heaven of home,
how to keep her husband from the
clubhouse, the gambling table and
the wine-cup. Such family will be
trained to social responsibility, to
business success, and to efficiency and
usefulness in whatever position may
be allotted to them.
"It is safe to say that not one girl
in ten in our large towns and cities
enters into, married life who has
learned to bake loaf of bread, to
purchase roast, to sweep a carpet,
or to cut and fit and make her own
dress. How much the perfect knowl-
edge of these things bears upon the
thrift, the comfort of families may be
conjectured, but not.calculated by fig
ures. 1t would be of Unreasonable
advantage to make beginning by
attaching kitchen to every girls
school in the nation, and have lessons
given daily in the preparation of all
ordinary articles of food and drink
for the table, and how to purchase
them in market to the best advantage
with the result of a larger saving OF
money, an increase of comfort and
higher health in every family in the
land"

My chest was involved, and the pain

obtained. About year ago 1 was
induced bya friend to try Swift's

Home Profits.

See what the people buy at the
stores, and then ascertain whether
or not there would be profitin MAX
ing it at home. Some time ago the
country people in North Carolina
found that any man who could make
whiskey could distill oil of sarsafras
and oil of pennyroyal. They sailed
into the business and made it pay
from two to three dollars a day to
the hand. All over the South may
be found peppermint, sassafras, win
ter green, tansy and other things
growing wild which are in demand
in theshape of essential oils.

The very sweetest and richest
orange is the black or rusty-coated
fruit. Pick out the dingiest oranges
in the box and you will get the best.
Another way to choose oranges is by
weight. The heaviest are the best,
because they have the thinnest skin
and more weight of juice. Thick
skined oranges are apt to be dry they
either weigh less because of having
so much skin, or because of the pow
erty in these particular specimens.
A slight freezing on the trees causes

The School and the Saloon.

The National Journal Of Education
says: "Outside of very few favored
districts, no Boston boy can go to school
without passing liquor-saloons enough
to destroy the morality of every pupil
in that particular district. The very
heart of New Boston on any summer
night is pandemonium of liquor-sell-
ing, the streets swarming with noisy
men and vicious women, with multi
tudes of half-grown boys and girls
looking on. Boston expends million
and half of dollars annually to school
the children, and, in spite of certain de-
fects incident to graded school-life in a
great city, these educational opportuni-
ties are not surpassed by any commu-
nifty on the continent. There is no
such concentrated force for practical
morality among these four hundred
thousand people as the public school
system as now handled, and hence
forth public instruction will be given
on the effects of alcoholic stimulants.
Yet, with strange inconsistency, the
same city government thrusts vile
den of pollution into the face of every
school-child, and seems to make no eff
fort to keep these children off the streets
reeking with drunkenness and lewd-
ness and resounding with profanity"

Drinking in Washington.

The Cleveland CO., Leader prints the
following: 1t is said that drinking is
decreasing at Washington. l do not
believe this to be so. Fewer people
drink at the saloons, perhaps. But it
has come to be that every public man
has his cellars stocked with wines and
brandies, and liquors are sold by the
quantity instead of by the glass. All of
the grocery-stores at Washington keep
large stocks of liquors, from Mumm's
extra dry champagne down to very
cheap article of whiskey, and you will
find wine-stores in nearly every block.
In no city of the United States, except,
perhaps, New Orleans, is there so much
wine drank in proportion to the popula-
ton. Many families never sit down to
meal without having wine on the
table, and at a Washington hotel where
public men stop it is the rule to take a
bottle of wine at your dinner. Within
the last few years punch has become
very popular at Washington, and you
will now find big punch-bowl at al
most every fashionable gathering. 1t
is quite an art to make fine Washing
ton punch, and it takes very little of
the regular article TO cause the knees to
culver and the head to swim. One
recipe contains these ingredients: Whis-
key, rum, claret, champagne, sugar and
lemons. A little water added to this,
and you have drink that will put an
old topper under the table after half of
his usual allowance. Still, the stuff is
given to young men and maidens.
There is a good deal of difference in
the United States as to drinking. Men
from the North and East and from
California drink wine, while those from
the West and South take whiskey OF
beer. Kentuckians usually take whis-
key straight, Wisconsians are fond of
their own Milwaukee lager. Senators
Frye and Blair are said to be the only
senators who are teetotalers. Attorney
general Garland likes good article OF
bourbon. President Cleveland drinks
beer sometimes. The speaker is goot
judge of liquors, and he often takes {
bottle of wine with his lunch"

Goodnight.

And shut my troubled eyes without fear,
knowing that they would never open here
How blssful II must be, both worlds in sight,

II only from the freezing cares of time
no truths eternal at once may climb,
No longer count the graves wherein tread,
but, in one moment, be all comforted-

To sing my tired goodnight
! watch the sweetest flowers throughout the morn
look, and To- at noontide they are gone!

How sweet to say goodnight
|rhis flooding tide of yearnings will not cease,
j cannot reach to touch the lips of peace;
Nor can gather to my sobbing heart
|The white-winged angels God has set apart;
Het haply may find them all In sight,
After some tired goodnight.
What wonder, then, that should long to rest,
Crossing my weary hands upon my breast;
fTo shut my troubled eyes without fear,
knowing that they would never open here;
fro say to earth, with heaven alone in sight,
My rapturous goodnight Selected.
