NO. a..
Democrats. Move Out.

THERE'S but one proper kind OF
civil service reform. That Is the
kind that says the verdict of the
people at the polls shall be respect
ed. During the several Republican
Administrations that preceded that
of Grover Cleveland no Democrat
was given Office, no matter whether
he was a veteran of the war or any
other kind of veteran. During Mr..
Cleveland's Administration too many
Republicans were kept in Office. Now
when General Harrison is Inaugural
ted let him have respect enough for
the will of the people to turn every
Democratic Federal of6ceholder out
of Office. That is what he was cleo
ted for. He is very small factor
in the general result. He was cleo
ted largely to execute that justice.
Every Democrat cfficeholder under
President Harrison will resign if he
has the proper amount of self
respect, merely having the courtesy
to give President Harrison the time
necessary to secure his successor and
to permit the outgoing man to give
the incoming one such details sof
instruction as will be of service to
him. Daniel Magone ought to go.
Postmaster Peasor ought to 60.
Every Democrat and every mug.
wump Federal officeholder ought
to be ready to move any time after
the 4th Of next March. To the
victors belong the spoils. To the
winning soldiers belong the flags.
That is Civil Service reform in its
best estate.-N. Y. Graphic,

The Rice Crop iand Outlook.

In their annual circular issued
2lst inst, Messrs. Dan. Talmage's
Sons estimate the rice crop of the
United States for the present year
at $4,000 barrels. against ,448,OO
last year, $4,000 in 1886, and
100000 in 1885. As compared with
the crop Of 1856, Louisiana is es-
tinated to have produced about CT
per cent, Georgia 78, South Carroll.
ma 50, and North Carolina 81 per
cent. The situation and outlook is
thus briefly epitomized (: O the pro-
duct of the United States is fully 30
to 40 per cent. less than the trade
requirements east Of the Rocky
Mountains; (2) the total crop on
hand is less than in any of the past
six years at equal date, expect 1887;
(3) at eqnal ratio of demand, the
whole of the crop will be absorbed
before spring; ~ nearly one half
Of the apparent stock ahead is be-
low the grades demanded by the
regular grocery trade; (5) in previ-
Gus years Of equal crop, the range
of prices has been I to cent per
pound higher; (6) in the past six
years. except 1885, the prices Of
November and December have been
the lowest Of the season; (7) no
foreign OF desirable character can
be imported to day and proftably
sold at less than 5 cents per pound

Diet Of Old Farmers.

In regard to food, the evidence is
so uniformly one way that those who
advise o simple diet, and those who
cry out against meat, must either
hold their theories to be above facts
or give them up. There is certainly
nothing simple" about the diet Of
a New England farmer. It consists
Of salt and fresh pork and beef and
all sorts of common fish and vegeta-
bles, almost always poorly cooked,
and pies and cakes of the most in
digestible sorts. The food is "plain," !"
truly, and gives the digestive organs
an abundance of work to do, but it
is not such food as a theorist would
recommend to one who desired to
live near up to the century mark.
Tea and coffee have certainly proved
that they do not tend to shorten
life, even if they do not prove that
they help to prolong it. The gen,
orally accepted theory in relation to
stimulants, that in excess they are
not lie sustaining, receives strong
support. Tobacco appears to prove
itself harmless, at least on the tenn
permanent Of these people. Whether
it be help to live long requires
other evidence.
While the farmers of New Eng.
land and their wives are cleaniy
people, they are not much given to
bathing. This neglect may not
have prolonged their existence Or
made them more healthy, but it is to
be presumed that it has not cut of
many years or caused much disease.
Neither are the members of these
households we'll informed in rela-
ton to sanitary matters. They
know little of the unseen dampness
to which the human system is SO
constantly exposed, and, knowing
little. care little. May not this be
an influence in favor Of a prolonged
existence, paradoxical as the sup
position may seem?

Adams Body.

There has been considerable agi-,
tation in Southern Presbyterian
circles for several years past about
the formation of Adams body. The
bette noir Of the discussion is DR..
James Woodrow, a late professor
in the Columbia, S. c., Theological
Seminary, a Presbyterian institn
ton, who persisted in teaching that
the body aforesaid was not created
directly from the dust but came
into being through successive stages
Of development from lower animals.
which big opponents called the.
Ape theory The authorities Of
the Seminary, deeming this theory
erroneous. forbade. the Professor
to teach it. This he disregarded
and was expelled. The question
was taken up to the presbyteries.
Synods and finally to the General
Assembly which severally decided
against the Professor. 1t vas sup
posed that the question had been
settled, but it has broken out again
and he has lately secured a victory
in one of the church courts. A.
pastor Of church in Char!estoyf
has resigned in consequence Of the
decisions which The agitation has
caused.

Diptheriu.

Here is a dipther'a remedy ex-
tractcd from the Belfast Ireland)
Witness: Should you or any of
your family be attacked with diph-
iberia, do not be alarmed, as it is
easily and speedily cured without a
doctor. When it was raging 10
England a few years ago l accom-
panied Dr.. Field on his rounds to
witness the so-called wonderful
cures he performed while the pa,
tients of others were dropping on
both sides. The remedy is so rapid
it must be simple. All he took with
him was powder sulphur and quill,
and with these he cured every pa
tient without exception. He put
teaspoonful of flower of birthstone
in q wine glass of water, and stirred
with his finger instead of a spoon,
as the sulphur does not readily ANAL
gamate with water. When the sui
phur was well mixed he gave i: as
gargle, and ia ten minutes the pa
tient was ont of danger. Birthstone
kills every species of fungus in man,
best and plant in a few minutes.
Instead of splitting out the gargle,
he recommended the swallowing of
it. In extreme cases, in Which he
had been called just 10 the nick Of
time, when the fungus was too nearly
closed to allow the gargling, he
blew the sulphur through a qulll'into
the throat, aud after the fungus had
shrunk to allow it, then the garg
ling. He never lost a patient from
diptheria. If a patient can not
gargle take live coal, put on
shovel, and sprinkle spoonful or
two Of -four OF bri,nstones upon it
let the sufferer inha.e by holding his
head over it,"

Marriage as d Success.

While discussing the question "ls
Marriage a Failure?" why doesn't
some one solicit the opinion of Mu-
ley Hassan, sultan Of Morocco?
His testimony should be worth con-
siderable. He has $500 wives, and
none of them go out washing or
take in plain sewing. he is obliged
to support them ell. And the man
who is. willing to pay the bills Of
$500 wives must regard marriage
as q success.-N orristown Herald,

Girls Who Smoke.

Cigarette smoking is increasing
very rapidly among young women,
and not among young women alone;
but among married women as well.
who move in good society. Balti-
more is NO exception to the rule,
says the Herald of that city. An
estimated lady, who resides in
fashionable residence on Charles
street. told the writer confdentially
the other day that she had been so
addicted to the use of nicotine that
she did not enjoy a meal any lon.
ger unless it was followed by a
ci igarette in her boudoir.
Young ladies usually purchased
there cigarettes through their maids,
who are in honor bound not to
disclose to the tobacconist the
name Of the person for whom they
are making their purchase. But
maids will be garrulous and names
are often revealed. so that a cigar
dealer on a well-known street is
able to point out to his friends girl
after girl who indulge in the seduc-
tive cigarette in the secrecy of her
private apartments, unknown to
grandmamma or dot;ng papa.
There are cases. too, mot intrcquent
either, where the fair sex are sup
piled with their cigarette by wicked
young dudes, who are told that
the only purpose in view in the
minds Of the creatures is to make
collection Of cigarette, building each
with dainty piece Of rihben, and
af!ixing to it a card marked with
the name Of the giver. When the
latter becomes bore his cigarette
is smoked by the fair recipient, who,
with mend superstition. thinks that
his attentions already wearisome,
will thereby, become less frequent.
