Mayor Chaplin will receive the ccmmendation
of all right-thinlling people in his determination
that no more permits for socalled slugging
exhibitions shall be granted in Brooklyn. These
affairs are prize-fghts under disguised name
and with the sanction of the law. They are
brutal and demoraizing and their suppression is
plainly in the interest OF good morals. There
IS of course no purpose to interfere with athletic
exhibitions of proper character, but a careful
inquiry will be in order every time an applica-
ton for permit is put in.

pride goeth before a fall, as a general thing but
in the case of Governor HILL who exalts his
horn amazingly to-day, pride cometh after
fall-the fall Of 1888.

The announcement of the classification Of the
railway mail service so as to bring it under the
operation of the Civil Service rules is probably
the last gasp of the present Administration on
the subject of the reform so widely heralded
four years ago. There is possibility yet that
MIR. Cleveland may have something to say
about it in special message, but prudence
would appear to dictate silence as his best
policy. The country has had all the expert
ence il wants of Democratic Civil Service re-
form. Now let it be buried out of sight.

A unanimous agreement has been reached
by the members of the committee of the New
Jersey Legislature which investigated the al
legged msmanagcment of the State Lunatlc
Asylum at Morris Plains. On the whole, the
condition Of things at the asylum proved TO be
satisfactory, and the charges were not sus-
tanned by the evidence. While there has not
been entire harmony in the management 1t is
held by the committee that the present system
has not had sufficient trial 1t rarely occurs
that sweeping charges Of abuses in the care OF

1t is dieadfully hard for the house
mother to catch up" She feels
sure that she employs every moment
of her time and TO her utmost ability
She is never idle, never neglectful;
yet the work aeeumulates. The
house is not as clean or as complete
" in order in every part as she
would like to have it. The sewing
lies piled up, and the pile seems to
grow larger instead of diminishing,
till at last she groans in spirit at
each fresh thing that comes up that
fought TO be done Immediately"
Is there never a way TO get
ahead?'' Do all the powers of mind
and body only suffice to lust keep
up?'
Well, yes Keeping up is all that
can be done. For the head of a
large family. there is always work,
and plenty of it, in front.
The fact must be acknowledged
and taken into consideration.
You cannot give more than all
your time. and best effort. to what
you do. So giving all your time and
best strength, be not dismayed or
disheartened that there is always
abundance to use the time and
strength on. That is, view the stu
alton calmly.
1T is better to wear ont than rust
out" Yes-a thousand times. but
it is still better to do neither. To
get into worry or anxiety over the
business of the day does not help the
thing. it retards it, 1t is best to
take up whatever comes to do quiet
~, feeling that you are going to do
as well as you can that one thing,
though it be bed making. sewing,
cooking, or any common piece of
homework. You can't do more than
one thing at time, it will not help
you to try to do two. So, although
six may be crying out to be done, do
the one that lies the nearest. and let
the others cry. Tommy will live, il
he doesn't get his aprons done,
though it is inconvenient to get along
without them. And after ali, it is
of more Importance that Tommy
should live than that the aprons
should be done.
Sometimes when you are discour-
aged by the multitude of the things
staring you in the face, every one OF
which should be got out of the way
first, it clears the atmosphere won
derfully to sit down and take up the
piece of sewing that is of the least
consequence of all; perhaps to memo
