GOVERNOR HILL is bachelor and
sleeps alone in chamber, the furnish
ing of which cost 81 1894, and in house
upon which the State expended $4,000
for repairs and furniture-only $4,000
more than the legislature of New York
appropriated for the purpose. Presi-
dent Cleveland had lodge in vast
Virginia wilderness where he spent his
honeymoon, and then moved into the
White House upon which much larger
sum had been spent in repairs and new
furniture. He goes fishing in palace
car, and swings around the circle in the
most gorgeously furnished and equipped
train ever put upon a railroad in this or
any other country. These two advocates
of Jeffersonlan simplicity are rival can
didates for the Democratic presidential
nomination. 1t beats all how much
these two men do think of old time
Democratic simpleness.

SEcRErARY BAYARD in an interview

SECRETARY BAYARD in an interview is
represented as saying that in the fishery
treaty American have been accorded
everything that they ever asked for, and
that il Canada had conceded as much in
1886 there never would have been any
controversy. Representative Reed, of
Maine, referring to this statement, said
that most careful study of the treaty
failed to disclose single concession that
any decent nation would not make with
out treaty and without being asked.
"Just think of the astounding magma
he said, "of solemnly agreeing
in a treaty that the vessels of a friendly
n .tion when in distress may enter the
harbor and transshlp their cargoes, pro-
vided such transshipment Is necessary
in order to make repairs. That is sub
iect to the customs laws of Canada.
Why, the barbaric pirates would grant
as that privilege after we went over
there aud persuaded them"

THE st. Paul Dispdtch publishes anoth-
er page of interviews with citizens of its
town regarding the idea of uniting the
Twin cities under one corporation.
Hardly man interviewed was favorable
to the plan, and the majority considered
all talk of consolidation of the two cit
les at present or within the next ten
years as white elephantine in the ex-
treme. All, however, favored CONNER
cial union, and the establishment of bet
ter feelings between the cities. Such is
the proper view. The interests of st.
Paul and Minneapolis are almost identi-
cal, and both may well afford to work to-
gether for each other. But the project
to make one city out of two distinct
towns as far apart as the Twins may
properly be allowed to sleep for the
next decade.

4 MAoNANIMous STATESMAN.

So far - any friend Of Mr.. Blaineis
was concerned 1t was not necessary for
him TO emphasize his declinaticn to be
. candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton a. he did TO New York World re-
porter Saturday. No Republican who
believed In Blaine could for moment
suppose that be would stoop to dema-
gogical trick In any matter, and there
fore 10 Mr.. Blaine's friends his letter
was final, however much they may have
regretted the decision therein made.
But there has been 50 much Ill-natured
talk by Democrats and Mugwumps since
the letter appeared and they have been
80 Indignantly persistent In their
ayowals that Mr.: Blaine was only sham-
ming and did not mean what he said,
that he doubtless decided to take the
wind out Of their sails by re-asserting
his position. It is doubtful If even now
the miserable, small-souled persons who
have relentIessly pursued and abused
the Maine statesman win be honorable
enough TO take him at his word and al
low him to take up the position and en-
Joy the rights Of q private citizen. There
are fellows in the country-most plenti-
full among the Mugwumps-wIth whom
opposition TO Blaine is q mania, and
they will keep up their small TRADE Of
abuse and misrepresentation as long as
the great statesman lives, while after
his death they viii doubtless still persist
in an attempt 10 smirch his memory.
But the time Is past when the work of
these maniacs had any effect upon the
people. Mr.. Blaine has done as mag
unanimous an act in the interest Of party
unity and success as any man who ever
lived performed, and by doing 50 he has
still closer the ties which
bound him to those composing the great
party. Small wonder the
small-souled Democratic and Mugwump
hyenas are at loss to comprehend the
spirit which prompted Mr.. Blaine to
give up his ambition and almost sure ell
ovation TO the highest Office in the land
rather than appear to ask too much of
his party or to put any doubt in the
path of its success. 1t is the spirit of an
honest, conscientious. unselfsh states
man, and it places Mr.. Blaine still high
or and securer in the regard by which
he ID held by the people. Let us hope
the act viii teach some newspapers a
little good sense and propriety, SO that
when Mr.. Blaine returns to America he
may be allowed to do as he hopes, "en-
Joy my own life in my own way, free
from further criticism or comment"

A Creature of Cleanly uabi.s.

Il is interesting to note in many placer
in this city small machine, scarcely
larger than handbook, in which electricity
is ut work for the purpose of keeping an
adjacent room cooled by means of re-
volving fans. The electric motor is the
most genteel, as well as the most bust
ness like Of machines, sort Of steam en-
CINE in dress suit. 1t is neat enough
for the parlor, it savors of neither oil nor
steam, and is as steady in its movements
as my lady's Geneva watch. It's revolu-
tions are of special interest to those who
remember that these are but another
form of light. sThe same energy that
turns the motor will, if passed into bit
Of carbon, create electric radiance.
The motor and the light are brothers,
children of the same mother, yet pos
sessed of diverse traits. The one is bril-
liant, the other busy; the one expends
its energy in labor, the other in dispelling
darkness. AS conveyor of power the
motor is destined to find welcome in
the homes of the people. 1t is creature
of clearly habits, pleasing appearance
and correct principles. 1t will wave
fans, run the sewing machine, turn the
cream freezer, and perform other duties
as yet not clearly defined. The electric
motor will find its way to the home ere

Benefits of Lung Exercise.

But the greatest benefits to be derived
from lung exercise are not in the cases
of healthy individuals, but rather in
those whose vital capacity is below the
normal-who are hollow chested, stoop-
ing and feeble in their breathing. The
imperfect development of their respira-
tory functions invites disease; their lungs
are vulnerable. Proper exercise will
throw off this debility and render them
less liable to disease. We may go even
a step further and say that in many cases
where lung diseases actually exist
breathing exercise is one of the most
valuable elements in treatment. ] have
often been gratified with the way in
which q consolidated lung in chronic
pneumonia of long standing and slow
progress would improve under proper
lung exercise. Indeed, I'm some of theses
cases it has seemed that properly regu-
lated exercises have rendered greater
service than could be derived from ordi-
nary drugs. L. Davis, A. B., NJ. D.

The Economy of Cremation.

To the poorer classes cremation espe-
cially appeals, because it is more economi-
cal and less formal than burial. 1t
would be well for each state to try the ex-
pertinent of cremating its dead paupers in
stead of continuing to enlarge its Pot
ter's fields. Certainly cremation prac-
ticed under governmental auspices in
this way would demonstrate its practical
superiority. The more the, subject is
pondered the deeper must grow the con-
viction that cremation is the most ra-
tional and efficient means of modifying
the grim and CHASTITY victory of death.
Graveyards, and the manner in which
our boasted civilization buries its dead,
are responsible for most of the supersti-
tons of mankind regarding spooks, COB
Inns and the whole retinue of supernatu-
raj abnormities. The rafting skeleton,
exhumed after years of repose in the
grave, sets astir the dreadful fancies of
the least susceptible witness. Epoch.

Glasses for the Near Sighted.

The near sighted child should wear
spectacles, because they are the best pre-
ventive against increase of near sighted
ness, and also because he loses a great
part of his education in not being able to
see moro than a few feet away. When
a person grows old the power of accom-
mediation is lost, and even if he be not
near sighted, the hardening of the crys-
talline lens prevents sight at short dis
tances. Hence he is obliged to wear
glasses. The vast majority of persons
who wear glasses can see as well with
out them. They use them to avoid a
constant strain on the eyes. The act Of
focalization is a muscular one, and uses
up nervous energy. The oversighted
eye, in which the focus comes behind
the retina, has to perform this muscular
act continually. The results are head
ache, irritability and nausea. The only
remedy in such cases is to wear glasses.

Care of Our Bodies,

Few owners of fine horses do not spend
from half an hour to an hour every day
in grooming them with comb and brush.
And they know this care helps to keep
them in fine condition. Would not the
same, or even a quarter Of an hour spent
daily in grooming, bathing and rubbing
the body, the limbs, joints and skin be of
equal benefit? There are men who spend
from one to three hours every day doing
this. and they find it prevents cold, rheu-
matism, sleeplessness and other physical
maladies, promotes health and prolongs
life. One man writes: ga few minutes
given every morning bathing, rubbing
and grooming the body is not a great
sacrifice of valuable time. Twice so
much is given graciously by many a
thoughtful owner to the care of horse
whose value may be only few hundred
dollars, yet many persons exclaim that
they have not time to spare for these
hygienic attentions to themselves and
their children. Herald Of Health

Professor Daniel Kirkwood points out
that seven of the twenty known comets
of short period have disappeared, either
by breaking into fragments, like Billa's
comet, or by the transformation of the
orbit by the influence of Jupiter, as in
the case of Lexell's comet. He had
already given reasons for thinking that
two of the short period comets were
asteroids drawn from their orbits by
Jupiter's attraction, and he now adj
vances evidence tending to show that
tho entire twenty were originally small
