TOTALS.
The LOgnn =. @.

The long strain is over; the case
is settled; and the edict has gone
forth.
No one will for one moment
doubt that Mr.. Pursell will draw
the salary and expend the same
with all the grace of lord, and
his smiling countenance will be a
"joy forever" to all the patrons Of
the office.
He may be further congratula-
ted on his success because his ap-
ponents were men of worth and
eminence.
EX-Treasurer West was one of
them, but Mr.. West had never
stormed fort or captured a flag
and so of course his claims could
not be considered by this Admin
istration, pledged as it is to guard
and protect the saviors of the coun-
try.
Then there was r. o. Kittsmil-
Ter, John StrentZ, Dock McMani-
gal and Sam Moore, all disabled
soldiers who thought they were
worthy, but their war records all
sank into "innocueous desuetude"
in comparison with the brilliant
services, and heroic sufferings of
Pursell in this regard. Then
again none of them can compare
with Pursell in service and royal
ity to the &. o.. p.
Kitismiller does very well to
burn tar-barrels, fire rockets and
fizz roman candles on jolification
nights, but everybody knows that
he does it for the fun of the thing
and to advertise his grocery.
John Strentz is good carpen-
ter, and good carpenters are too
scarce to waste in Office, besides
John gets a pension and protec-
ton and is doing we'll enough.
Dock McManigal is rich, or his
wife is, which is about the same,
and Dock don't know much about
politics, but will learn if he con-
tinues to be II candidate for p. NJ.
when Pursell wants it.
Sam Moore is a nice fellow, but
that don't count for much with the
g.o.p.what it requirhs is good army
record and ability to lie like the
editor of Republican newspaper.
If all these gentleman will con-
tinue to vote the Republican
ticket regularly, and practice lie
ing about the tariff and one thing
and another, they may probably be
eligible for the position about the
year 1914, but then we don't know,
-Pursell will improve some dur
ing the time and may still be able
to knock 'em out. Hurrah for Pur-
sell.

CONSUMERS in Philadelphia and
other cities of the East were told
last winter most revolving stories
concerning the condition of the
dressed beef shipped from Chicago.
The best answer to these stories in
the official statement of the Live
Stock Commissioners of Illinois
that no cattel affected with any
disease are allowed to leave the
Chicago stock yards either for
shipment or slaughter. Under the
laws of Illinois any person know
ingly Shipping or offering for sale
any diseased cattle are subject to
heavy fine as we'll as forfeiture of
compensation for the cattle sold.
In order to enforce the law the
inspection in Chicago is is the hands
of competent officials, who have
had long experience in regard to
diseases of cattle. The cattle is in
spected not only by officers of the
Illinois Live Stock Commission but
by officers of the Health Dapart-
ment of Chicago.-PhiPa Record.

Against so,nber Garmeut..

A number Of English women of high stand
ing in society have begun a crusade against
the mourning garments which the customs of
the times compel them to wear. They are
not pioneers in this undertaking. Several
times before assaults have been made upon
tho pagan and barbaric fashion of loading
women down with Grape and somber robes of
black when death overtakes any one near OF
dear to them. Their predecessors in the ad-
vocacy Of this reform have had little success.
Why should q women make herself hideous
and miserable by means Of overwhelming
wells and funeral trappingsl Oh, say the de-
tenders Of this relic of barbarism, women
wear mourning because in them the emotions
OF sorrow are stronger and deeper than in
men, and the outward garb of woe is the
symbol Of the grief they feel within. Hero
and there a woman Of hysterical bent may
persuade herself that she is g%rieving more
because she has on q four ply crepe veil and
a bonnet the shape, color and weight of q
coal %scuttle, but if the rule of society that u
woman must indicate her grief by tho i'm
mensity and inkiness of her clothes were
abolished we believe the great majority of
women would gladly fly to healthier and less
hideous attire.
1t is fashion, that silly and cruel tyrant,
that DEGREES the weaker sex shall be orment-
ed with reminders of their bereavement in
their dress No matter how ugly. how harm
full or how ridiculous a thing may be, if fash
ion says it is to be done it is done without
question or complaint by nine-tenths of the
women in the civilized world. So mourning
will continue to be worn In its exaggerated
form in spite of all the crusades the minority
of sensible women may wage against it. If
men had to share the pains and inconveni-
ences of mourning there would be a radical
reform at once. Men escape almost scot
free, however, and women alone must har-
vest the aftermath of death. -Pittsburg Dis

About presentiment.-

In many voyages 1 have made it an object
to inquire of travellers and others concerning
presentiments, and have found that they are
very common, occasionally fulfilled, gener.
ally not so; and that it is the tendency with
practically all persons who have had one
presentiment cone true to force themselves
into all, and to become tyrants over those
dependent upon them or those travelling with
them. 1t is to be frankly admitted that, no
matter how vivid the presentiment might be,
its non-fulfllment would not demonstrate that
there arc no presentiments which must nave
originated external to the mind of the sub
ject; but having been led by my experience
to induce many persons to defy such feelings
without q single instance of reported evil re-
suits, 1t confirms strongly the hypothesis of
their subjective origin.
That p~resentiments are governed by no
moral principle in the character of tho sub
jects to which they are applied, the persons
who receive them, the occasions on which
they are given, and their effects, is apparent.
The most immoral have claimed to have
them, have communicated them to others,
and they have sometimes been fulfilled by
events from which the persons having them
have derived great personal advantages,
The best of men have had presentiments, but
the great majority Of good people have not,
and the greatest calamities which nave be-
fallen most persons have come without any
warning whatsoever, exceDt such as could DO
inferred from existing situations. Expert
ence, foresight and guidance by ordinary
sagacity have been all that mankind have
had to rely upon; and to be governed only by
these, combating or disregarding PRESENT.

for which no foundation can be found in the

Dish Cloths vs.. Dish Kars,

~ guess you will find q dish rag in some
place about the sink" was the direction the
daughter of the house gave to the ~neighbor
who had come to help i'll the emergency.
What she found was a black, damp rag, with
the peculiar odor of many stale dish waters
clinging about it. Fever had attacked the
different members of this family, and the
%neighbors wondered if here were not the clew
to Its origin, as she put that dish rag into the
stove and supplied its place with q dish cloth.
One of the most difficult things to teach an
ordinary servant girl is to tako proper care
of the dish cloths. After using they should
rinse them thoroughly in clean water, and
perfectly dry them in the sun in summer and
by the stove in winter.
The ideal dish cloth of the model house
wife is clean, soft, white and medium sized.
Wcrn table linen is excellent to mako into
dish cloths. Take the worn out napkins, or
the most worn parts from an old table cloth;
ten inches square is a good size. Put two of
these squares together and stitch across three
or four times on tho machine. Then turn
and stitch the same number of times across
the rows already stitched. Tho whole is now
quilted firmly together and with proper care
will last n long time. AS the various parcels
come into the house, take the cotton string
with which they are tied, knot together and
wind into a ball. 1t only requires a mo-
mcnt's work, and in n short time n largo ball
of strong cotton cord will result. With this
cord, using largo wooden knitting needles,
cast on stitches enough to make a strip twelve
inches long when pulled out; knit back and
forth in garter stitch until square. Cast Off
loosely, and you have a very strong, service
able dish cloth. Two dish cloths ought al
ways to be provided; one for tho dishes and
another for tho pans and kettles. American

Tho Whole Duty of Il Wife.

The Bombay Guardian calls attention toan
extraordinary book which is being distrib.
uted broadcast US n prize book in the govern.
ment girls schools in the Bombay presidency.
The following quotations arc given Us speci-
mensof tho teachings set forth in the book:
VII the husband Of q v~irtuous woman be
ugly, of good or bad disposition, diseased,
flendish, irascible, n drunkard, old, stupid,
dumb, blind, deaf, hot tempered, poor, ex-
tremely covetous, a slanderer, cowardly, per-
fidious and immoral, nevertheless she ought
to worship him us God with mind, speech
and person. The wife who gives an angry
answer to her husband will become q village
pariah dog; sho will also become a female
jackal and live in M uninhabited desert.
"The woman who eats sweetmeats without
sharing them with her husband will become
n hen owl, living in a hollow tree. The WON.
an who walks alone without her husband will
become n filth eating village SOW. The woln-
al who speaks unexpectedly to her husband
will DO dumb in the next incarnation. The
woman who hates her husbands relations
will become from birth to birth a muskrat
living in filth. She who is always jealous of
her husbands %concubine will be childless in
the next incarnation"
To Illustrate the blessed results of a wife's
subserviency a story is told of the great re-
ward that came to tho wife of an i'll tempered.
diseased and wicked Brahmin, who served her
husband with n slavish obedience, and even
went the length of carrying him on her "
shoulders to visit his mistress. The British
government in India, says The Woman's
Journal, of Boston, has bound itself not to
interfere with the religion of the natives, but
it certainly ought not to inculcate in govern
ment schools the worst doctrines of heather.

The Name Wa. ..r,-n

A funny fact came to light recently at the
registration of a birth of q child. The happy
father was asked the maiden name of his
wife, to which he answered.:
"Rose B."
well, how do you spell it'll Bee, By, Bey,
or howl"
"Just simply B."
THAT cannot be. B is only an initial, not
a name"
ut is all tho name my wife ever had until
she married me. Neither she nor any of her
family ever had any other name than lust B,
neither more nor less"
They could hardly have had less, and an
examination Of the records showed that they
had really never had more. Beyond doubt
the B family bear the shortest name in
France-perhaps in the world. Only one
other name Of equal brevity is known, and
hat is the name of a place. About fifteen
miles from Peronne, on the Ham line, there

hundred inhabitants. The origin of the name

vestigate the origin Of the patronymic of the

Ice Water.

There is a great deal of sentiment and
many opinions regarding the use of ice water
that vanish when the light of reason and e1-
perience is turned upon them. The fact is,
that ice water, drank slowly and in moderate
quantities, constitutes u healthful and in
MIGRATING drink. There is no doubt that ice
is a great sanitary agent, and every family
ought to be provided with it during the
warmer months of the year. 1t is true that
the inordinate use of ice water, or its use under
some special conditions and circumstances, is
attended with great danger, so is tho i'm
proper use of any other drink or food. The
assumption that iced water is dangerous, and
that iced tea, or iced coffee, or iced lemonade
is a harmless substitute is simply a delusion
AS the source of danger feared by some is the
degree Of cold, we fail to see clearly how
favor modities the effect of temperature.
There are some individuals, undoubtedly,
who canno drink ice water without injury,
and who ought never to use it, but to a great
majority Of persons it is refreshing and
healthful. Its use, temperate and discreet, is
in no way to be condemned, which cannot be
said Of some of its substitutes. Sanitary

Tho Evil Eve,

Our forcfathers believed firmly enough in
the evil eye. AS far back as we are able to
pierce through the obscurity Of antiquity We
lind abundan evidences Of this strange belief.
Chaldean COMPUTATIONS against tho power Of
the evil eye are still in existence. An Assyrian
tncantation Of the Seventh century 3. c.
against a sorcerer represents tho glance of the
evil eye as most dangerous to man. Various
Egyptian papyri refer to this fatal power,
and formula aro given to preserve ono from
its effects Vedaic hymns recite PRAYERS to
Aqua against the sorccrer, with his baleful
glance, and there was n formula in an old
hindoo marriage ceremony rccitcd by tho
groom against tho possible evil effect from
tho glanccs OF the bride. Among tho curious
laws governing the Brahmiu is ono that, in
satisfying tho wants Of nature, ho must not
look ut the sun, moon, stars or planets, nor
at a temple, a statue, u sacred tree or IL COW,
for his glance would then 10 harmful to any
Of these. The Persian sacred books are full
OF the subject = man Of evil life is hero
deemed able to arrest tho growth OF plants
and the current OF living water, or to draden
the ripening fruit.
An allusion to this deadly power is found
In Ecclesiastes Various ancient writer's
give accounts Of people who possessed this
pO"SA = u "oAtAeIlul extent. Inc cases OF
Medea and OF the Gorgons will rccur to every
one. Pliny speaks especially of tho Scythian
and nlyrian women. Ovid, Plutarch. Hor.
ace, Herodotus and other classical writers
frequently allude to it. st. Mark puts an al.
fusion to the evil eye in tho mouth of Christ,
and st. Paul alludes to it in tho cpistle to the
Galatians. The early fathers of tho church
reason much about it with tho result of leav.
Ing the matter in great confusion, but none
of them question this power. They usually
escribe to tho Deity the source OF this great
influence, but later writer's assign 1t to the
malevolence of Satan. Children, handsome
people and the aged were declared particu-
larly subject to harm from this source. For
there are some" says one of these writer's,
"who have eyes so brilliant and full Of fire
that with a single glance they infect others,
and particularly children, the venom of fas.
c%ination acting upon them by reason Of the
perverse or malign quality and dangerous
humor of the injecting eye Of the sorcerer
which enters the sympathetic pupil Of the
child's eye."-Pittsburg Dispatch.
