President and Mrs. Cleveland, Col
onel Lamont and wife, Secretary and
Mrs. Whitney left Washington Tues
day, February 81, for short trip to
Florida. They visited the Sub-Trop-
ical Exposition at Jacksonville, spent
a short time at st. Augustine, and
went to Indian River.
Enroute to Florida an hour was giy-
en- to O ride through the streets of Sa-
vannah. In returning, our own chief
city, Charleston, was favored by very
brief visit of one hour, and President
Cleveland said that with him all hour
meant sixty minutes. Into this short
time, however, our metropolis crowd
ed every possible honor and pleasure
that could be conferred upon the dis
tinguished visitors, and the people
were charmed to have all opportunity
of expressing their regard for the Ma
tion's Chief Executive.
The determination of the President
to return to Washington without any
Sunday travelling affords an example
which many less prominent men
might well emulate.

Wholesale Denial.

It is the first instinct of the igno-
rant mind to deny an imputation with.
out stopping to comprehend it. Said
an ironical mistress to her careless SER
want, "Well, you certainly have a re.
markable head on your shoulders +"
"I haven't ma'am !" cried the girl in
dignantly, II never had any at allW
An English schoolboy was suddenly
and sternly asked by an examiner,
"Who signed Magma Charta?" and
though he knew very we'll that he per-
sonally was guiltless, he couldn't help
trembling at being suspected OF any
thing which could be spoken Of in
such tone, and at once renounced the
act with alarm and indignation.
"Please, sir, I didn't" adding, to
make sure of safety, land if I did, I'll
never do it again."
"Why, you stupid fellow" said the
master, nobody said there was any
harm in it. On the contrary, it was q
very proper thing to do"
please, SIR" cried out another boy.
"it was me, sir! I done it myself sir"

IHsidiOus Vehicles of Malaria.

DR.. SALISBURY found malarial fever
to be propagated among persons sleep
ing in room in the windows of which
had been placed box of earth from
malarious soil. House-plants cultivat-
ed in pots filled with malarious earth
are a constant danger. The germ grows
Iuxuriantly in the moisture and warm
air of closed rooms. DR.. Eichwald.
professor of clinical medicine i'll the
University of st. Petersburg, has given
to the public facts concerning patient
of his, a lady with malarial fever, who
was easily cured by treatment when
confined to her chamber, but VINO
quickly relapsed OH remaining during
the day in her parlor. This easy cure
and constant relapse went on for long
time. At last the doctor, having be-
come suspicious of the flower pots, re-
moved them from the house, and there
was no further recurrence of the dis
ease. The effect of malaria on the ner-
vous system is weakening and demor,
alizing, and this should be guarded
against by cultivating the will power.
Nervous chills sometimes take the
place of malarious ones and can hard
lv be distinguished from them. These
are best prevented by good hygienic
conditions and by moral means.

Is it Proper?

When writer or speaker announces
any good news is it at all necessary to
introduce or conclu Ie the statement
by the writer's saying that he is
"pleased," ,""glad" or "rejoiced?" And
is it any more proper in giving bad
news for the writer to say that he is
"sad, ,""pained," or "sorry" Wheth-
or the intelligence is about something
good or something bad is not the feel
ing of the writer another, a personal,
foreign matter? Yetso common are
such expressions that to omit saying
something of the kind, would, by
some persons, be regarded as indica-
tive of Indifference or wont of feel
ing.
Readers and hearers will have their
own feelings with little or no concern
about the joy or sorrow of writer or
speaker. If writers and speakers
have hearts to "rejoice with them that
do rejoice, and weep with them that
weep" that is enough; and if they
have not, then their saying they have
is too much.
A reform in this custom must begin
with writer's and speakers. Who will
leave off, lead off and take the chances
to be unpopular?

Thought 1t Made no Difference.

"That tenor does not fit the mortise
by quarter of an inch," said an en-
ployer to a young carpenter who had
Just begun to work for him. ...g
II thought that for a garden gate
you would not be particular, and 1t
would make no difference" answered
the young man.
But it did make a difference. It
made just the difference between the
young carpenter having steady sum-
mer job at good wages, and having bis
time unoccupied upon his hands.
The employer found no other fault
but when the gate was finished, he
paid the maker, without another word,
and dismissed him. The next day
there was another man in his place.
He happened to be man who thought
| it did make difference how every
thing was done; he always did his
best; and he kept his situation till the
end of the season.
So it happens. Frequently some lit
tie thing which was not expected to
attract attention is noticed by some one
to whom the excellence of the work
has commended itself, and the man
who has made painstaking the rule OF
all his labor, is surprised by a sudden
and unlocked for accession of good for
tune. He has been brought into note
by some unconsidered trifle, which
was we'll done merely because 1t was
his habit to do everything as we'll as
possible.
On the other hand, many man
who is lamenting his i'll fortune, and
does not know what to attribute it to,
owes it to some such carelessness in
the way of doing his work as that
which doomed the young carpenter to
summers proftless idleness. Men
are by no means always told by what
particular act they are judged; but
any good performance is always liable
to make, and any bad performance ia
always liable to mar, a fortune.

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
How Reverence May BE Lost.

The fact of decrease of reverence
may be in part accounted for by the
greater educational facilities of the
present day, the more general spread
of knowledge. The mind is so sharp
ened and quickened that Fictitious ap-
peals to its approving regard are sub
jected to keener scrutiny than former
ly. There seems reason in this, yet it
must be at the same time admitted
that this is an age when along with the
contempt for the spurious there has
also grown real irreverence for what
is true and goood and beautiful, irrev-
erence for age, for womanhood, for gen.
uine godliness. Referring, however,
to the first let few items be specified.
A preacher, for example, cannot in
crease the reverence for himself of the
young in his congregation by taking
on an affectedly solemn tone of voice
or manner. The assuming of unusual
and unsuitable attitudes in the pulpit
or the making of grimmaces, thus dis
torting the natural expression of the
face, tend to excite the ridicule of the
young rather than their reverence,
and to arouse a distaste for the person
of preacher even among those older
and more thoughtful.
Parenthood How the child looks
up to the father and mother as the very
wisest and best of their kind! Father
knows everything, mother is the one
perfect woman in the world, is the un-
expressed epitome of their childish
faith. Happy they if when reaching
years of discretion they realize that
while "father" does not know every
thing yet his judgment is sound. his
integrity unimpeachable, his kindness
unfailing; blessed in truth if when
finding other forms fairer than 'moth-
er's," other minds more "advanced," "
vet she can forever retain the first place
in the child's heart by reason OF her
unvarying kindness, her boundless
sympathy. But this reverence for
parents cannot be excited or retained
by unnatural means. No reasoning
mind, though a child's, can assent to a
judgment which it believes to be un-
fair, though it proceed from parent,
and unhappily, parenthood does not
confer infallibiiity. Too often a thing
is not right though "mother" approves,
too often "mother" is ignorant or
blinded by ambition or prejudice or,
worse yet, unjust, ungenerous. Can a
child of discerning mind respect, rev.
erence, love such though that one be a
mother? Surely not.

"In q Minute"

Twill mention no names, but there
are some children of my acquaintance
who try even my patience by the an
swer, "In a minute" They are call
ed. Papa is standing at the door, or
mamma has her bonnet on, and de-
sires to say word before going out
but these busy grown people are ob,
liped to wait until it pleases JAMIE and
johnny to attend to them. Johnny is
repairing his ball, and thinks ne can
not stop till he has fastened his knot
jamie is finishing her map, and has

honestly intends coming "in min

away to five or ten. The parents are

everything becomes uncomfortaole.

Parliamentary Language.

say that man is not welded to the
truth; .
Or sometimes suffers from spirit of
exaggeration; ,
Or occasionally finds it difficult TO
confine himself strictly to actualities;
Or is unfettered by the four corners
of hard matter of fact;
Or is past master in the pleasing
art of realistically romancing;
Or is partial, in describing nature, to
borrowing from the pages of romance;
Or is much given to an artificial rec
objection of misleading statistics;
Or cannot distinguish the false from
the true, with a bias toward the for

VOLUME XXXII. NO. 43.
Borrowing.

Make it a rule to never do It, and
then do it only when positively OBJ
liged to. And in nine cases out Of ten,
where one is awake to the wants Of the
household, this evil can be effectually
forestalled.
Borrowing is often carried to such
an extent that it becomes nuisance
makes hard feelings, and even enc
mics, among the best of friends. One
can hardly be expected to remember
the needles, pins; thread, cup of sugar,
eggs, -four, baking powder, saleratus,
etc., sent for in so many eases of "dire
extremity" The one who loans has,
of course, better memory, but Is very
10th to speak OF these trifles, but which
aggregate quite sum in the end.
The habit Of borrowing small sums
of money from a neighbor is especial
ly to be deprecated. I recall two in
stances, and doubtless the reader could
duplicate them Mrs W borrow
ed of Mrs. -, in sums of five and
ten cents for street car fare, and to
make change (by actual accountl,
three dollars, not a penny Of which
was ever returned or alluded to by the
receiver. Miss r, under "great
PRESSURE" obtained of an aged friend,
who could i'll afford the loss, small
sums of money until it amounted to
five dollars. She only wished it for q
few days." but years have passed, and
the debt is not cancelled. Even the
most corrupt jury would, we think,
convict these two persons of (polite)
thieving rather than neighborly bor-
rowing. ID.
AS we have admitted, borrowing Is
sometimes allowable; but one should
be prompt and conscientious,in in return
ing even the smallest article. .......
It is proverbial of some persons that
one must 60 after what is lent them.
I know a lady who annually makes
the tour of her neighborhood to find
the carpet stretcher she lent in the
spring before.
There are many things, such as
quilting frames, soap kettle, bags and
chairs, etc., together with the fabled
umbrella" that may as well be
bought, with the expectation that
they will soon become public property
and lost-at least to the original owner.
Let us strike against borrowing, and
boycott the borrowers.

Lieutenant B. F. Handforth, Chica-
go, in "An Open Letter" "a circular)
says he will soon send forth book
"Judgment"-in which he proposes to
"make known to the people numer-
Gus reasons forcibly demonstrating the
necessity for abolishing the Regular
Army.n The following are extracts
from the letter:
Whatever may be thought of army
officers personally, it is doubtful policy
on the part of the government to car
ry the rage for the antique so.far as to
pay S25 900, ,00Oa a year for small stand
ing army, confessedly of no use, in
case of actual war, except as an al
legged "nucleus."
People at present know very little
about the Regular Army, and very few
reasons have as yet been published, or
facts made known, tending to injure
the Regular Army or remove it from
the pedestal upon which it stands
wrapped in dignified obscurity.

Katie's Choice.

''No, I do not play"
Nor paint?"
Nor paintW
There was pause, and young fel-
low standing near said:
"My sister reads. She has read
most of the best books not mere trash.
She can mend and make, bake and
brew. AS she had no very decided
talent for music or painting, she had
concluded to lose no time over them."
overheard this dialogue at an after
noon tea; later on I had a chat with
the brother and sister, and 1 think
some of you will be interested in what
[ heard.
Katie, like many other girls, found
her time more and more occupied as
she neared seventeen. She took mu-
sic lessons, and was expected to prac-
tice for at least an hour a day. Then
"all the girls" took drawing, and she
began. From early to late she studied,
recited or practiced. She heard OF
books which she longed to read, but
there was no time. Her mother was
not very strong, and needed efficient
help in the house, but Kate had not a
moment, for when she was not actual
ly studying or practicing, she was
PROSTATE with headache or weariness.
; I do not know just what brought
Kate to the decision, but on her seven
teenth birthday she asked her mother
to allow her to give up certain studies
for q year; if, at the end of that time,
the event had not proved her choice a
wise one, she would 60 back to the old
way.
The mother consented, and Kate i'm
mediately shut the piano, laid her
drawing book aside and retired from
the geometry, rhetoric and philosophy
classes, so getting time to study her
lessons during school hours. The
time before given to the piano was de-
voted to careful reading, under her
brothers. guidance; the hours former
ly spent over the additional studies
and drawing were devoted to house
work. Instead of working out a geo
metrical problem, she "worked" the
bread, or solved the equation: given
cold veal, eggs, and rice, what may be
the result.
Her fathers house had been little
more than a shelter in the old days,
but now that she devoted an afternoon
to the boys rooms, and Saturday
morning weekly to the parlor, each
room had o beauty and interest of its
own.
You may be sure all this was not
done without remoustrance from we'll
meaning friends. She would not
graduate properly! But Kate remind
ed her mother that married cousin
had no time for music, and regretted
the hours lost in practice as for grad
uation, if mother and daughter were
both healthier and happier, was not
the sacrifice cheap one?
Now, girls, won't you think serious.
ly of Kate's way? What does most OF
the amateur music amount to? In
these days of popular concerts we can
hear really good music so cheaply,
while you are paying too high for an
inferior article, when you devote all
hour day for four or five years to
learning to play "pieces' with rear
and trembling.
Insist on having time for whole
some, solid reading, histories, essays
and travels and if your mother is
burdened, share her household cares.
That is better, if not higher educa-
ton, and will fit you for life far more
than the studies and accomplishments
