This Man Was a Philosopher.

From The Le,cisfon Journal.
He was a married man, and hia wife was the
head Of the househ old. He had a friend who
was in the same case, only his friend was ap
just the reverse. He had long studied this pc
culiar difference between them, and finally he
mustered up courage to go to his friend and
ask him:
What is the way to be happy" he asked
when you are under a woman's thumb!"

The hotel Keepers of Florida are apprehen-
slve OF ruin TO their business of entertaining
northern visitors this winter, on account of the
yellow fever. 1t seems TO us that their appre
nensions are too broad Those who enjoy the
climate OF Florida during the winter season are
well aware that the yellow fever has been con-
nned 10 a narrow section of the Flowery state,
and that it has not appeared at all In those re-
glons that are the favorite haunts of northern
visitors. Ii is our opinion that the Florida hotel
Keepers may look for fair share of business
from tourists within the coming six months.

From the Philadelphia Record (Den'.)
No single little thing has happened since the
Chicago convention to set the teeth of the re-
publican organs so much on edge as Mr. Blaine's
open defense of the trusts. There is no parry
ing the fact that the trusts depend for their ex-
istence on high protective tariff duties and why
should the grand old party disown its own

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie arrived in this
country just in time to help elect demo-
cratic President by joining Mr.. Blaine in
the defense of trusts. In an interview the
other day Mr.. Carnegie said, according to
the New York Tribune: "No one has much
cause to fear trusts" and "The public may
regard trusts with serene confidence" Mr..
Carnegie went on to explain why trusts are
not to be feared, but it is hardly necessary
TO follow him in his statements. Ii is suili-
cient to know that he, a republican, de-
tends these conspracies with as great bold
ness as Mr.. Blaine. The fact becomes more
apparent every day that the Republican
par y is the party Of trusts and monopolies.

The Baltimore American asks a very
foolish question. 1t wants to know why,
if tho democrats are friends of the working
men, such democrats as Samuel J. Ran
dali and William II. Sowden of Pennsyl-
vauia, are silent i'll this campaign Mr..
Randall is silent because his health is such
that he cannot occupy his seat in congress,
much less 60 over the country making
speeches. He wants Cleveland and Thur
man elected. Mr.. Sowden is silent probably
because he feels sore over his defeat for
denomination. Ex-senator Barnum, of
Connecticut, and Senator German, of
Maryland, agree with Mr.. Randall on the
tariff, and yet they are doing all they can
for democratic success.

Senator Chandler has abandoned the
southern outrage mill for a few days, and
has gone TO New Hampshire to look after
his political fences. The figat for the
United States senatorship from that state,
between himself and Congressman Gal
linger, is being warmly carried on, and it
is said that the chances of success are on
Gallinger's side, While Chandler is sharp,
shrewd man, he has not kept up with state
politics. and is unfamiliar with his party's
organization in New Hamphire. Mr.. Gal
linger, on the other hand, is said to be the
best posted man in the state on state issues,
and knows where to put in his work so as
to obtain the most satisfactory results. He
would be an improvement on Chandler as
senator, for the reason that he could not
be more dismal failure.

Type-Setting in Japan.

The Japanese printer Is very much
hampered by our present methods Of
work, and I do not see how we are go
ing to change them. The Japanese
alphabet contains about eight thousand
characters, and each character occu-
pies different box in the case. The
composing has only one case,
which is placed against the side OF the
wall, the boxes being arranged as high
and as low as man can well reach,
and all the compositors use this one
case. On this account the printers are
compelled to walk about twenty miles
in a day, and when hurried go rushing
about from one box to another, tau-
bling over each other in the most con-
fusing manner. This causes the work
to take much more time and labor than
In most other countries. Pacific Printer.

stepped across the room, put Mrs.
Hasting gently aside, and took Ethel in
my arms. Even in her delirium, the
poor child seemed to understand that
we had met, never again to part, and
with a great sobbing cry she nestled
to me like an over-wearied infant.
''It will be well with her now," kind
Mrs. Hasting murmured with the tears
raining over her cheeks.

Ethel had been saved from the sink
ing yacht by the same vessel which
picked up the half-drowned seaman a
little later. But the shock of the ter
rible casualty and the melancholy fate
OF her mother, had nearly deprived
her of reason. A prolonged illness
had succeeded; and it was months be-
fore she had gained sufficient strength
to communicate with her aunt, who was
her only remaining relative. Before
she had done so, Mrs. Hastings-who
of course would have been the only
heir to the little property-had deemed
best to dispose of the cottage.

MEN AND MARRIAGE.

leave to Psychologists to discuss how
far the chances of life are shortened
when December weds May, and ex-
poets in May any thing more than
nurse, though, in passing, / may OBJ
serve that / have noticed several such
marriages in which the funeral fol-
lowed suspiciously close to the we'd
ding. Without going back to the time
when sJared lived hundred and
sixty and two years and begat Enoch,
there are severaIs instances on record
of modern patriarchs who became
proud and happy fathers at the time
when they should be thinking of shuf-
fling off this mortal coil.
There was that stout Salopian, Old
Parr, for example, who married at
eighty, and had to do penance in
Alderbury Church for an intrigue with
Catherine Milton, when he was
sprightly masher of one hundred and
five summers. If Lord Lytt1eton is to
be believed Parr had rival in the
Vale of Festiniog, in the person of an
old Welsh farmer, who, when he died,
had eight hundred lineal descendants,
and whose youngest SON was eighty zone
years younger than his eldest. / fancy
this man must have been of the same
family as a certain Alderman Hookes,
of Conway, who, is described in his
epitaph as the forty-frst child of his
father, and himself the father OF
twenty children. Happily for
themselves, these people lived long be-
fore the days of DR.. Drysdale.
My own impression is that the Welsh
border is the paradise of old men, the
grand old man being only the most
conspicuous among many. Some years
back Ispent a Sunday in the very next
parish to Hawarden. I dined with a
middle-aged man whose sons were fast
growing to manhood, and then walked
over to his fathers house to take tea.
The venerable old gentleman, who
wore headgear something like Oliver
Goldsmith $, was nursing an infant two
or three years old on his knee. "Is
that your youngest?" / asked OF my
middle-aged friend. 80, dear no. he
replied; .sthat is my little brother. ~

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.


they do neither plight nor wed
In the city of the dead,
IN the city where they sleep away the hours;
But they lie, while Ger them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And hundred happy whisperings of flowers.
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is OF other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In the burgh of by and by.
Where the streets have grasses growing, cool
and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song.
No. they neither sigh nor sing.
Though the robin be a-wing,
Though the leaves of autumn march million
strong.
There is only rest and peace in the city OF
surceaSe
From the failings and the waflings meath the
sun;
And the wings Of the swift years
Beat but gently o'er the biers,
Making music to the sleepers, every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them 1t seemeth best,
For they lie at ease, and know that life is done.

TIE GARRETT PALACE.
The Most Gorgeous Private Residences
the City OF Baltimores

The Most Gorgeous Private Residence IL
the City OF Baltimore.
The Garrett residence is a wonder of
architectural and decorative art, and
its formal opening, by a grand ball
early in January, 1887, was the event
of the Baltimore season. The ground
Is 80 by 100 feet; there are three stories
and basement, with a solid front of
brown stone. The general style is Of
the French renaissance, but the de-
signer allowed himself much latitude.
The main hall is that of an English
manor, and all the woodwork is of En-
glish black oak, elaborately carved
with panel decorations, choice paint
ings and steel suits of mail. There is
also q library finished In mahogany, o
dining-room in the Dutch style of the
sixteenth century, a parlor upholstered
in Gobelin tapestry, with deep friezes
of allegorical paintings, wonderful
balcony, and conservatory, 40 by so
feet in size, which is perfect paradise
of ferns and exotic flowers, with bub-
bling fountains and waterfalls, over
all of which is a light soft as that of q
full moon. Altogether, it is neigh
borhood of which the possible colored
orphan neighbors would have no cause
to feel ashamed. The real wonder of
the place, however. is the bathroom,
modelled after that of the luxurious
Louis XIV of France. The ceiling is
in imitation of lattice work, with vines
and flowers: the immense laver (vul-
cato voce ''tub') is OF silver and Ten
nessee marble; the water comes in
through brass pipes and gold-plated
| fixtures, and all the adornments are OF
sybaritic elegance. = Philadelphia Nea0s.

Mothers, do you actually dread the com.
ing of the children's bedtime, or is it, OF
all hours in the day, the sweetest?
Is it your precious, self imposed task tc
lead the way to slumber land, or do you
delegate the privilege of hirelings?
To take the beloved form in our arms,
and amid hugs and kisses. and softly MUIR
INJURED loving words, which shall engage
the little ones attention and rob the COM
ing darkness of its terrors, to deity unrobe
and prepare for night the darling one, then
to fold the tiny hands in prayer, if old
enough. what JOY unspeakable to the true
mother, who is never too weary to attend
to this final, sweetest duty of the day.
The hurry of the busy worker is over.
There is nothing on hand SO important as
that of putting the tired child peacefully to
sleep. If You have no servant, let the tea
table stand, if need be; dishes are not so
imperative as the health of children, which
can only be promoted by long, sound,
undisturbed nights rest
Are you in the habit Of rocking YOUR
baby? Although far easier for the mother
not to do SO, yet we would not disparage
the custom if she be of q quiet tempera-
ment. But if worn out, excitable, each
nerve seemingly extinct with life, would
you deem it advisable or right 10 infuse
aught of this mental unrest into the inno-
cent victim?
Who does not know that even very young
babes are affected by the moods of those
who have them in charge? Can You afford
then to hold your infant, unless you are
well poised?
