The Office Lounger.

A mans friend or friends who
lounge in his store or office, from a
business point Of view often prove
his worst enemies. They drive away
customers and business. They will
set their minds against every person
who enters your shop, because such
person may temporarily stop their
flow of gossip. They annoy timid
or sensitive customers by scanning
them inquisitively. The country
store is abominabl in this respect.
The lounger on the head of flour
barrel is always present to overhear
the request of every customer, and
comments Oh it mentally while the
customer is present, and audibly the
moment he or she is absent. The
suburban drug store is often infested
with the evening lounger, who occu
pies the only available chair and in
spects every lady who enters with
all that thoroughness granted by op-
portuuity to concentrate his facnl-
ties upon her. The store or Office
lounger is an expensive article of
furniture. He may please you with
his company and gossip, but he will
cost you from 81 900 year upward
in the trade he drives away. Some
customers are deferred from enter
ing the store altogether at sight OF
him there. Business and gossip can
no more mingle than oil and water.
Loungers attract lounging element
and a lounging trade. They will
buy cigar, and drive off the man
who might have bought a box

Hedging.

e6hSa
There seems to be a disposition
on the part of the republicans and
Blaine in particular to back down
from the plan which, it was said,
a few days ago, had been finally
decided on by the Maine statesman
to declare against any reform OF
the tariff and fight the campaign on
the simple issue of protection. The
New York Times shows how this
mistake was made. Mr.. Blaine when
he landed here after his long wan
dering abroad, did not exactly know
how public sentiment ran. He had
read the re publican platform, which
declared against any reform of the
tariff and imagined that this was
the policy to be pursued, be being
completely ignorant of the fact that
the republican congressional caucus
had decided that the platform was
a mistake, which would have to be
corrected by the framing of an in
telligent bill, revising the tariff; one
that could be placed alongside of the
Mills bill. Mr.. Blaine knew moth.
ing Of the discussions in the caucus
on this point and therefore support
ed the platform. He has since beer
informed of his mistake, has repu-
dated his former statements, repu-
dated the platform and declared
that some reduction in the surplus
will have to be made. He appears
to have swung Harrison around
also, for that second fiddle in the
republican campaign is obviously
hedging. cit may be that a reduc
tion in the tariff should be made,
he recently said, in direct opposition
to the platform on which he is nomi

Democratic Succas Assured

A careful review of the whole po-
litical field enables the Appeal to
assure its readers that the outlook
is at this time very encouraging.
All the southern states, including
Virginia, says the Memphis Appeal
are sure to vote for Cleveland and
Thurman. New Jersey, Connecti-
cut and New York, in spite of all
that the protectionists can do will
vote the democratic ticket and CON-
plete the column of democratic sue
cess. But, besides this, the ma
tlonal democratic committee, from
what the best infomed democrats of
these states say, are very sanguine
that we shall carry Indlana-Har-
rison's own state-and Illinois,
Michigan and California. This
would be great gain and q great
triumph. 1t would mean q great
deal and be very significant of the
return of the people of the north
west to the support of those princi-
plies, the enforcement of which
through adequate legislation will
insure them the greatest amount of
happiness. President Cleveland's
management of the government has

How to ApnlY knowledge.

A love of study or a love of knowl:
edge is of advantage as means to
an end; but in itself it has no more
value than love of money-getting
or love of money. Ali gettings
and possessings have their true
worth in the purpose of their ap-
plying not in their mere achieving.
That a man wants knowledge, and
that he is willing to work for its
obtaining in order to it's wise use
for the good of others, is always to
his credit. But the desire to study
simply for the purpose of gaining
knowledge, is only one phase of the
spirit Of curiosity; and the wish to
have knowledge simply for the salts
faction of having it, is merely a
form of mental miserliness. Much
knowledge is Worth DO more than
much flesh, unless its possessol
makes it worth something by its
| using. 1t is better to have little
flesh or knowledge, while making it
all effective for the advantage Of
others, than to be full-feshed and
learned without helping others
through ones fullness.-S. S. Times

Rules for Living Long.

Men who are ENGAGED in profess
sions are supposed to live longer
than men of trade.
Weak men are more likely to
succeed engaged in some trade than
if working at profession.
The two forces that most oft en-
rob middle aged men of life are
said to be anxiety or loss of in
terest in work.
AS a rule, the man who follow a
profession has found out long be-
fore he is fifty what line of work is
most adapted to his abilities.
People who have cultivated "hob
bies" live long. They always find
rest, amusement and attraction
from cares in the discussion of their
thread bare subject.
1t has been said that the man
who loves his work, gets plenty of
rest, takes his amusement IN plenty
and permits nothing to worry him.
should live to be one hundred and
fifty years old.-Chicago News.

THE NUMBER OF THE STARS.
About Six Thousand May Be Seen by the
Naked Eye.

The total number of stars ore can
see will depend very largely upon
the clearness of the atmosphere and
the keenness of the eye. There are
in the whole celestial sphere about
six thousand stars visible to an
ordinarily good eye. OF these, how
ever, we can never see more than q
fraction at any one time, because
half of the sphere is always below
the horizon. If we could see q star
in the horizon as easily as in the
zenith half of the whole number,
or 5000, would be visible on any
clear night. But stars near the
horizon are seen through so great
thickness of atmosphere as greatly
to obscure their light, and only the
brightest ones can there be seen. As
result OF this observation it is not
likely that more than 1000 stars can
ever be taken in at a single view by
any ordinary eye. About 1900
other stars are SO near the south
pole that they never rise in our lati
tudes. Hence, out of G, 900 supposed
to be visible, only 1000 ever come
within the range of our vision, IN
less we make journey toward the
equator.
AS telescope power is increased,
we still find stars OF fainter and
fainter light. But the number can
not 60 on increasing forever in the
same ratio as with the brighter mag
nitudes, because if it did the whole
sky would be a blaze of starlight.
If telescopes with powers far exceed
| ing our present ones were made,
they would no doubt show new stars
of the twentieth, twenty-frst, etc,
magnitudes. But it is highly proba
BILE that the number of such success
sive orders of stars would not in
crease in the same ratio as is OBJ
served in theeighth, ninth and tenth
magnitudes, for example.
The enormous labor OF estimating
the number of stars Of such classes
will long prevent the accumulation
of statistics on this question; bat
this much is certain, that in special
regions of the sky, which have been
searchingly examined by various
telescopes of successfully increasing
apertures, the number of new stars
found is by no means 10 proportion
to the increased instrumental power.
If this is found to be true elsewhere,
the conclusion may be that, after
all, the stellar system can be ex-
perimentally shown to be of finite
extent, and to contain only a finite
number of stars.
| In the whole sky an eye Of average
power will see about 5000 stars, as
have just said. With a telescope
this number is greatly increased,
and the most powerful telescopes OF
modern times will show more than
60,O00,000 stars. Of this number
not one out of 100 has ever been
catalogued at all. In all,
314,926 stars, from the first to the
ninth and one-half magnitudes, are
con tanned in the Northern sky, or
about 100000 in both hemispheres,
All of these can be seen with a
three-lnch object glass.-The Cen
fury.

Since the opening of the campaign
there has been no stronger arraign-
ment of the republican party than
that contained in this paragraph of
the speech of Speaker Carlisle at the
county democracy ratification meet
ing:
1.-THE republican party denounces
combinations OF capital organized in
trusts to control trade among our
citizens, but it stubbornly defends
and refuses even to modify the fiscal
and revenue system under which
these combinations were formed and
without which they could not exist.
1t boasts of it's legislation to secure
homesteads for the people on the
public lands, and yet it took 2O0,-
100000 acres of those lands away
from the people aud gave them to
corporations ard syndicates. 1t
demands legislation for the rehabili-
tation of the American merchant
marine and appropriations for re-
building the American navy, in the
face of the fact that its own policy
when IN power drove our merchant
vessels from almost every sea and sc
reduced the effective force of our
navy that it ceased to be either use
full or ornamental. More has been
done toward the reconstruction of
an efficient American navy during
the three years OF Mr.. Cleveland's
administration than was done during
the whole quarter of century the
republican party was in power, and
not q dollar of the money appropri-
ated has been wasted or stolen"
Let any one who has any doubt
whether he should prefer democratic
or republican administration exam
inc the counts of this brief indict-
ment and see if they are not borne
out by all the facts and records that
relate to them.-New York Star.

1t is a good suggestion of the
Nashville Banner that the discus
sion of national questions in the
canvass in the state be relegated to
the presidential electoral candidates
and candI dates for congress, and
that the candidates for governor
devote their discus sion to the mul
tiplying issues and interests which
directly concern the administration
of state government. Some of the
leading journals of the state and
many thoughtful citizens approve
the Banners suggestion. The full
time of the gubernatoril candidates
could be profitably occupied IN dis
cussing local state issues.
