Civil ana Military Service.

WV o4Ao i'ItiltSt1J 61Ol lSS.
The attempt to increase the army OF
the United States from 5000 TO $4,000
has failed forthis session of Congress.
The reasons given for the increase were
good, and ought to have prevailed. Al
the same time the refusal to increase it,
wrong as it undoubtedly was in itself,
bears striking testimony to the pacific
nature Of u 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.
mcnt of the sword is one of tho mora
remote of possibilities.
A recent statement from Washington
gives the number of our civil service
force as 10. 900, in round numbers. 1
more than four Zines the military force.
The United States is the only nation on
earth, now or at any previous time in
the worlds history, to have a larger
civil than military force, and if the navy
were added to the army the civil list
would far exceed it. The postofice
alone employs 52,632 persons. These
appointecs arc not droncs, either, but
workers. No doubt there is a c good deal
of soldering" but no more in proper.
ton than in any other line of business.
AS a class the government employees
are Woodworking. intelligent, and
trusty. Defalcations are rare, and the
business is most excellcntly conducted.
The railroads, banks. etc, of the coun
try can mont of them claim more eff
cheney or less defalcations. The vol.
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 Il favor, despite all the un-
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 u
vast aggregate of men waiting for
something to turn zap. They arc sub
jcct 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, forit IL SO small and SC,
occupied, between Indians and forts.
shat it is not a social plague spot, but
in Europe the standing armies con-
stitutc Il serious and continuous bane, q.
potent factor for evil in society. Moth
ing Of the kind can be alleged against
the civil service. The no, 900 are IN
integral part of the Industry OF the
country, and have no time hanging
heavily upon their hands. operating rs
a constant temptation to vice. This
is of far more importance
than the mere economical advantages
of having civil service overtop the mill
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

was standing s~tockstill on the pave

1t was the gaunt, uncomely form of

The Craze Over the Colored Shirt.

There is an altogether undue amount of ex-

of New York just now. The fashion of wear

subtle fascination about colored shirt that the
average man is powerless to resist With col

certainly imparts what might be called sport

achieve combination by white collar and a

while one-half of mankind has seized upon this
com bination with species of deathless admira-
ton, the other half has formed itself into a
turgid and bitter opponent. So the men who
walk boldly about the streets of New York with
shirts of brilliant hue and plain, white collars
are alternately ridiculed and envied. They go on
their way undaunted by the fierce opposition,

Simple Desserts.
Maria Parlca. in Good Housekeeping.

MARIA Parloa, In GOOQ Housekeeping
Many housekeepers look upon all dessert in
the light of Injuries; others draw the line at
dishes that call for eggs. Now, some dessert
dish, if properly made, should form part of ev-
cry dinner. if fruit is not to be served. Even
with fruit some people require sugar. When no
dessert is provided. a greater quantity of meat
and vegetables must be eaten to satisfy the de-
mands OF nature. For some this is all right, but
for the majority of folks certain amount of su-
gar and starch is necessary. Children should
not be deprived of this kind of food Even for
the poor it is economical to provide simple des-
sert.
In arranging for dinner, plan light dessert
when the rest OF the meal is to be substantial.
On the other hand, when the main part of the
dinner is to be light, let the dessert be hot and
substantial For example, if the first part OF the
meal consists of cold meat and vegetables, or a
hash and one vegetable, serve hot apple pud-
ding for dessert A good one can be made of a
pint of -four. prepared for cream of tartar bis
cult, rolled thin, and filled with pared aud quar-
tered apples, then steamed for two hours, and
served with molasses or sugar sauce. Or. the
apples may be put into a stew pan with little
water and sugar, or a little molasses, stewed for
few minutes, covered with the biscuit dough.
and cooked about twenty minutes longer. No
sauce will be needed with this pudding Nothing
could be cheaper, and it will be very palatable
and wholesome.
Apples may be added to boiled sage or tapi-
oca, with a pleasing result. Soak cupful of
either tapioca or sage in three cupfuls of cold
water over night; then cook it in a double boiler
for half an hour Add TO the contents of the
boiler one cupful of sugar. half a teaspoonful of
salt, and two quarts of pared and quartered ap-
pies. Bake in pudding-dlsh for an hour and

Fruits for Market.
New England Farmer.


There has been great deal Of money made
by growing fruits for market and the profits
have sometimes been very large upon the amount
of land used and labor employed. This has
stimulated extensive planting, and in many Sec
tions production has increased beyond the
demand of the market that only very low prices
have been realized by those who have gone into
the business late. Many are therefore discour-
aged, and are going out of the business pretty
badly disguised. The trouble was, they went
too deep into the cultivation of the fruit with
out looking out for market. 1t is quite often
a great deal easier to make a thing
than to sell it after it is made. Farm
ers are not the only class who have
learned this to their sorrow. Any perishabe
article of food. when in demand, pays better
profit than do foods like corn and wheat, that
may be kept for months or years. but when in
oversupply they must often sell for a much
smaller prof: or even at loss, for the reason
that they perishable and must be sold and
consumed at once or become worthless.
In producing any kind of perishable foods, like
fruit, milk Or meats, one should endeavor to es
tablish a regular demand that will equal the
probable supply There are men in the vicinity
of Boston who can grow asparagus, grapes.
strawberries and other fruits and vegetables and
sell them at fair prices, when a stranger brihs
ing load of either might find it difficult to sell
at any price
A ''run of custom" is worth everything in trade
of every kind. A man who is we'll known for
the high quality of his goods and regularity in
delivering them, can count upon his products
being sold about as fast as they ready for
market. We saw q man a few days ago trying
to sell only four bushels of pears that he had
brought into the city to accommodate a poor
neighbor who grew them. The fruit was of
fair quality and of varieties not particularly un
salable, but the buyers all seemed to have a sup
ply, and did not care to make offers for what
they old not need for the day. Their own ship
pers would be sending more right along, and
they felt that they must keep old and reliable
patrons rather than take OF new and transient
ones.
If we would make money raising small fruits
we must go into the business to stay. not for
