"WE have not had any Civil Service
Reform in Indiana" is the emphatic
statement made yesterday before Sena-
tor Hale's committee by Mr.. William
Dudley Foulke, president of the Civil
Service Reform Association of that State.
The detailed testimony and figures CIV
en- by Mr.. Foulke confirm this sweeping
condemnation of reform" as it is prac-
ticed under President Cleveland. The
most significant part of Mr.. Foulke's
evidence is that after making full inves-
LEGATIONS and ascertaining that Repub-
licans by the score were being turned
out of office to make room for Demo-
Gratis, when no charges had been made
against them, he went to Washington
and laid the facts before the President;
only to find that what had been done
met with Mr.. Cleveland's full approval.
The Administration disregard of SOL
emn pledges is notorious; but after this
we ought to hear very little about Civil
Service Reform being upheld by the
party now in power. Civil Service Re-
form, in fact, has become farce of the
broadeSt variety.-N. Y Tribune.

He who would see his sons and daugh-
tiers thoroughly and truly gentle must
forbid selfishness of action, rudeness of
speech, carelessness of forms, impo-
likeness of conduct from the first, and
demand that in childhood and the nur-

good breeding which is as a jewel of
price to the mature man and woman.

TIE California method of nres

TIE California method of preserving
fruit is simple, and said to be excellent.
Wide -mouthed bottles are filed with
fresh, sound, raw fruit and securely
corked. No sugar, water or anything
is added. The bottles are then placed
in cold water which is brought to boil,
and gently boiled for ten minutes. 1t
is claimed that fruit preserved in this
way will keep for years.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON frequent
ly speaks of her thirty feet of boys. She
has five living sons, each six feet tall.
Mrs. Stanton and Horace Greeley were
great friends, but had disagreement.
Mr.. Greeley, it is said, took his revenge
by changing letter in word recurring
frequently in speech of hers which
was published in the Tribune. The day
following the delivery of the speech Mrs.
Stanton noticed on her way down town
that each friend she met smiled in pc
culiar way when greeting her. BY the
time she reached her husbands Office she
was in a state of excitement, and begged
to know what was the matter. Her hus-
band handed her a copy of the paper,
and she saw the oft-repeated words in
her speech, 'white male" was made to
read "white mule" This has been for
years standing joke, and her sons call
themselves her white mules. One of the
sons lives in the West, and on visit to
him, when Mrs. Stanton arrived at the
station, he rushed into the car and said,
"Here, mother, kiss your white mule "
to the surprise of all the passengers in
the coach. Mrs. Stanton retains all her
lively spirits.

In great affiiction there is no light
either in the stars or in the sun; for
when the inward light is fed with frag-
rant oil, there can be no darkness though
the sun should go out. But when, like
a sacred lamp in the temple, the inward
light is quenched, there is no light out
wardly, though thousand suns should
preside in the heavens.

ANGUISH of mind has driven thou
sands to suicide; anguish of body, none.
This proves that the health of the mind
is of far more consequence to our hap
piness than the health of the body, al
though both are deserving of much more
attention than either of them receives.

Much as we may desire greater equal
ity among men, we can never ignore or
sweep away natural differences of ca
pacity. No effort can put the slow, dull
boy on an intellectual level with the
keen, bright one; no vision of future
equality can ever hope to abolish dis
tinctions between the highly gifted man
who arises easily to greatness in his ap
pointed sphere, and the one who, weak
in mind and infrm of purpose, fails to
make any mark in the world.

SOMETIMES fog will settle over a
vessels deck, yet leave the topmast clear.
Then sailor goes up aloft and gets
lookout which the helmsman on the
deck cannot get. So prayer sends the
soul aloft; lifts it above the clouds in
which our selfishness and egotism befog
us, and give us a chance to see which
way to steer.

FIXED principles of right, of duty, of
honor and of truth make up the charac-
ter of the true man. The man without
these is like the ship at sea without
rudder, he is tossed by every wave and
his course changed by every wind. Such
men as rule never achieve success in
anything. Their opinions are constantly
changing with the circumstances of
their surroundings.

WHEN the claims of business cease to
engross the whole time and thought and
energies, when the claims of home and
friends and society come to be fully
recognized, when the needs of a many
sided nature are emphasized, when the
affectiOnal capacities are appreciated
and individual tastes respected, then
will the intervals of life yield real
harvest of benefit and delight.
