Falling in Love,

Grant Allen in Fortnightly Re1ie,c.
We do fall in love, taking us in the lump
with the Young, the beautiful, the strong
and the healthy. We do not fall in love,
taking US in the lump, with the aged, the
ugly. The feeble and the sickly. The pro-
hlbItion of the church is scarcely needed

grandmother. Moralists have always
borne special grud2e to pretty faces,
out, as Mr.. Herbert Spencer admirably
put 1t (long before the appearance of
DarWln's seiective theory, "tne saying
that beauty is but skin deep is itself but a
skin-deep saying" In reality Fbeauty is
one OF the very best guides we can posi-
bly, have TO the desirability, so far as race
preservation is concerned, of any man or
any woman as partner in marriage. A
nne form, good figure. beautiful bust,
a round arm and neck, a fresh complex

visible signs of the physical qualities

healthy and vigorous wife and mother;
they imply soundness, fertility, good

standard OF the race. Good teeth mean
good deglutition; a clear eye means an ac-
tive liver: scrubbiness and understood.
ness mean, feeble virility. Nor are indica-
tons of mental and moral efficiency by any
means wanting as recognized elements in
personal beauty. A gOOd-hum0red face 8
itself almost pretty. A pleasant smile
half redeems unattractive features. Low
and receding foreheads will strike us I'M
favorably. Heavy, stolid, half-idiOtic
counteDances can never be beautiful,
however regular their lines and contours.
Intelligence and goodness are almost as
necessary as health and vigor in order to
make up our perfect ideal of beautiful
human face and figure. The Apollo Bel
v1dere is no fool; the murderers in the
chamber of horrors at Madame Tussaud's
are for the most part no beauties. What
we all fall in love with, then, as race,
Is in most cases efficiency and ability.
What we each fall in love with individ-
ual1y 1s, believe, our moral, mental and
physical complement OF our like, not our
counterpart; quite the contrary; within
healthy limits, our unlike and our oppo-
site. That this is so has long been more
or less a commonplace of ordinary con-
versation; that it is scientifically true,
one time with another, when we take an
extended range of cases, may, | think, be
almost demonstrated by sure and certain
warranty OF human nature.

Compulsory Pilotage.

m ON the Nea0 York Marine Journal.
The laws of the United States have from
time immemorial required ships entering
a port from deep water to employ a local
pilot, and the custom still obtains whether
the vessel includes among it's officers or
of the channel or not. The system of
compulsory pilotage has been loudly
objected to as an unnecessary
expense and burden on commerce.
A bill was introduced in the last House,
and is now on the calendar, to abolish it,
and majority of the Committee on Ship
ping reported favorably to its passage.
The minority. however, composed OF
MGssrs. Hammond of Georgia, Bliss of
New YORK, Holman ofIndiana, and Com
stock of Michigan, brought in a report
showing some most excellent reasons why
the present system should be maintained.
Were there no other question than the
safety of the ship and cargo involved,
the Marine Journal, as an exponent of
the shipping interest, would be content
to leave the matter of employing a pilot
to the masters and owners of American
ships. But as the report shows there
are questions of police and health which
can be more safely entrusted to resident
pilots, who are held responsible to local
authority, than to men whose business it
is to come and q. Pilots, beyond being
utilized 10 safely bring in the ship. are re-
quired to act as inspectors. under the
health laws OF the port, and to be watch
full lest improper distractions be placed
in the channel.
The present pilot laws of the United
States are of very many years. standing,
and approved by age. There is no SINH
lar regulation so little in need of change,
and as the proposed bill only provides for
the exemption of American vessels, thus
leaving foreigners and coasting steamers
as they are, 1t had better be dropped.
The minority of the committee seem to
have the weight Of the argument on their

FOOD.

A large proportion of the baking powders in the
market contain Ammonia, Alum, or Acid Phos-
pilates, and as matter of prudence housekeepers
should insist upon knowing ALL the ingredients
of their favorite brand. A knowledge of one of
the ingredients is of little value, as it is no
guarantee of the wholesomeness of the others A;
hence reliance should be placed on any
baking powder unless the manufacturers plainly
state each and every ingredient used in it's
preparation.
If your patronage for baking powder has been
obtained by artfully written advertisements extern
sively circulated, note carefully whether or not
its manufacturers impart to the public knowl-
edge of every ingredient that enters into their
compound Where this information is withheld
would it not be wise to discontinue the use of
that particular kind of baking powder and
purchase instead one pure and free from
Objectionable ingredients that there is in it
nothing to conceal?
Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is made
only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar,
Bicarbonate of Soda, and small portion of -four,
and does not contain Ammonia, Alum, Lime,
Acid Phosphates, Or any adulteration whatever.

THE United States senate should have
too much respect for itself to willingly
assume the functions of caudal appen
dage to suspended Office holders. The
people don't give a cent for the office
holders and don't care fig whether
Cleveland makes q complete change or
no change =: az! There are many things
to which the senete can address itself
with more propriety and credit to itself
than partisan warfare on behalf of Office
holders who whine and kick and predict
that the government will go to the bow
vows because they no longer have any
claims on the treasury. What do the
people care for the politics of the person
who passes out letters through the de-
livery window of a post Office? And
still Judging from the action of the senate
this is an all-important matter and the
wheels of government must be locked
because few government officers must
seek some other means of livelihood than
government Office. The whole thing
is absurd, foolish and utterly small. Ii
the senate has no higher conception OF
duty, it should be abolished. 1t is an
utterly useless body anyway, and its
small partisan spirit is making it mis-
chievous As well.

THE overnice Washington people who
took offense at the poem "Ostler Joe"
recited by Mrs. Potter at the charity en-
tertainment given at the residence Of
Secretary Whitney, have justly earned
the ridicule of the whole country. No
person of genuine refinement can see
anything but beauty. strength and pathos
ia the poem. 1t may offend those who
embrace prudishness and discard virtue.
Those whose lives are secretly foul are
severe moralists in public and it is this
class who quit the room because their
sense of propriety was shocked. These
women would rather emulate the sin of
the woman whose ''face was fair as q
summer day, but whose heart was as
black as night" than hear the touching
narrative of the sorrow which the wo-
mans fall brought about. Such affecta
ton of sensitive modesty is absolutely
sickening.

TIE Missouri Pacific Railway is hav-
ing serious trouble with the knights of
Labor. 1t is one of Jay Gould's roads.
1t does seem little hard that capital
cannot be allowed to hire or discharge
just whom it pleases. But the labor
organizations are natural sequence of
protection. If the laws prevent labor
er from purchasing clothes where he can
get them cheapest and forces him to buy
from some manufacturer who has been
instrumental in imposing this limitation
on the laborer. the latter has just as good
right to insist that the manufacturer
shall employ his labor. not where he can
get it tie cheapest, but from protected
organization. Protection for manufac
tursrs finds parallel. in protection for
laborers. That is the situation in a nut.

JUDGE ToURGEE relates story of ante
emancipation times, which illustrates
how some churches work in the interests
of the Lord. An aged spinster DESTROYS
of doing something for the church of
which she was member, willed two
slaves, almost her entire property to the
church. The church did not emancipa.e
the slaves. Oh, no; they were sold and
the proceeds put into the missionary
fund to aid in converting the heather in
China. This is not wholly unlike the
church which lately accepted legacy
from the keeper of brotheI. If church.
es gave little more attention to morals
and character and less to the pockets of
the people, they would be doing work
which would commend them to every one.

THEY HAVE ORGANIZED.


The farmers meeting held on the 9Th
day of March was quite an interesting
one and resulted in the organization
the Manitowoc County Farmers Associa
ton. A constitution was adopted, and
the following are the names of officers
elected for the year 1886: F. Ostenfeldi
president, q. A. Gielow secretary, F. A.
Huebner treasurer, and Messrs. A. Will
helmy, G. w. Morse, John Hall, Fl.
Gilbertson and A.. Creole, together with
the president constitute the executive
board. Thus far the good work has
been crowned with success, so that at
present thirty-one members rejoice in the
new branch of industry. Although this
is but very small part of the great army
OF agriculture, nevertheless they are
determined to show as much valor in
fighting their battles as did the undaunted
Spartans on the ensanguined field OF
Thermopylae. That those men who now
make up the association mean business
can not be doubted. In the last meeting
they showed sufficient enthusiasm to SO
excite good tempered gentleman that
he proclaimed in thunder tones: eye
sons of Levi. ye take too much upon
you, if you furnish free hospitality at the
Insane Asylum to every sailor that enters
our harbor !" 1t is hardly necessary to
state here that it is not the object of the
Association to provide quarters for sail
ors, but that its objects ars to promote
the advancement of agriculture, horti-
culture, and the mechanical and house
hold arts. To accomplish these ends a
series of meetings will be held during
the year. The first meeting of the ser.
les will be held at the usual place on the
Goth day of March, at 2 o'clock, P. NJ.
At that meeting it is expected that every
member of the Association will come in
spired with purpose to do the very best
he can and to profit by the experience of
his co-workers. New members will re-
ceive admission to the Association at any
meeting, particularly those who believe
that agriculture is the oldest, and pro-
badly the most useful and necessary pro-
fsssion on the face of the earth.

AN Irish nationalist says the liberal
legislation of the English government
has on many occasions been in advance
of public sentiment, and that there is no
real public sentiment in England unless
that which is directed by the acts of the
government. This true to great extent is
in the measures of reform inaugurated
by Gladstone. But in the case of Ire
land there is decided sentiment against
doing her justice. If, as suggested, Glad,
stone after formulating his measure for
Ireland should appeal to the country on
that Issue, it seems almost certain the
tories would be successful in the ensuing
election. Public sentiment has under
gone great change under the aggres-
sive liberal policy of the premier who
loves justice more than he does popular

EpurNp,s replv to the presidents

EDMUNp's reply to the presidents
message to the senate is hardly worthy
of the reputation of that senator, who,
if he is celebrated for anything, Is
celebrated for speaking to the point
and in few words. Any country lawyer
could pick Edmund's speech to pieces.
The only point he makes is the letter
of Thurman when chairman of the
judiciary committee, addressed to the
Attorney General asking for papers
or information touching the question
of the removal of the chief justice of
the supreme court of the territory of
Utah" The presumption is if papers
were furnished they were those of an
official character, and the reasons
were asked in good faith, not as in the
present instance for petty political
purposes. Edmunds has descended
to quibbling.

WHAT contrast the course of Glad =
stone offers to that of Bismarck. The
former feeling that his life work is near
its close is anxious to do all he possibly
can for the people before that melancholy
event arrives. Bismarck also feels that
for him the end is drawing near, but he
is wholly intent upon rearing despot-
ism and depriving the people of power.
He has made Germany powerful because
QUE man uses its power, but he has de-
stroyed popular liberty.

THE force of Humans letter ask
ing for information as to the suspen-
sion by Hayes of Judge Shafler, is
lost as a precedent for the demands
of the present senate on Cleveland,
when it is known that the power of
the President to suspend judge at
all is not admitted. Indeed the
power of suspending federal judge
is deneid expressly by statute, and il
is believed this prohibition extends to
territorial judges.
