In ignoring the sentiment that it is
undignihed for on ex- President to engage
in any business or to pursue his profess
sion Mr.. Cleveland will do the public a
service. An ex-President is citizen
who has fulfilled trust imposed upon
him by the people, and because it is the
greatest trust. as well as the highest
honor, that the people can confer. is no
reason why he should be untitled
for any other duty or profession. There
is no good reason why Mr. Cleveland
should be condemned to idleness. There
is no reason why he should have pen
sion. 1t is not in harmony with the
spirit Of a democratic form Of govern
ment to establish civil pension list.
The list would be increased by unworthy
practices until the object was entirely
forgotten and it would be useful only to
political demagogues as a vote-getting
scheme. The list would soon increase in
something ike the ratio of the old sol.
diers pension list, which has grown from
$26, 600 900 to $s7, 1000. 900, principally
nnder the present administration. A
great deal Of the Presidents time has
been occupied in vetoing dishonest pen
sion claims. Mr.. Cleveland displays his
characteristic good sense in returning TO
honest labor in his profession.

the Washingtonians), there could be no
greater difference in the character of the
two places. Washington during the past
ten years has assumed the appearance of
a modern city. Everything bears the
impress of the latter part of the Nine

old wooden creek bridges from Wash

from the Nineteenth into the Seventeenth
century. Many Of the houses are of the
pattern of two hundred years ago. The
pumps on the street corners look like the

any Of the little graveyards, and you
will see graves of men and women who
died thirty years before George Wash

Of the village he would have seen
several old ruins Of mansions, with grass

abodes of men who lived and died before

The change n watch Crys.als.

There have been some curious changes
Of late years In the fashions for staple
commodities, and especially is this true In
the matter Of watches. The watch is
either looked upon as a trinket or as an
article of serious use. In the first instance
it Is set In round ball, incrusted with
small diamonds, sometimes intermixed
with rubies or with sapphires, or 1t forms
the top OF smelling bottle, or Is set in
bracelet or the handle Of parasol. But
the serious watch Of every day wear has
become q very practical article indeed.
I'm old days, said to me a famous Swiss
jeweler Of the Rue de Ia Paix the other
day, 1.-THE business Of replacing watch
crystals was an important item, amount.
Ing, on an average, to $50 per week. Now,
instead Of the delicate, soap bubble glass
formerly used, the watch crystal Is made
thick and strong, so as to stand any
amount of rough usage short Of an actual
blow. The introduction Of these massive
crystals has brought about a change in
the make Of witches. Not half so many
hunting cased watches are sold as for
merly, as they are 30 much less convenient
than the open faced ones, ard the thick
crystal does away with the only real OBJ
lection to the latter. Paris Cor. PhiIa.

It is notorious fact that our kitchens
are the strongholds Of ignorance, preiu-
dice, irrational habits and mental vacuity,
with the result that Americans suffer bo-
yond any other people from wasteful,
unpalatable, unhealthful and monotonous
cookery. Acquiescence In this state Of
things as something permanent and ir-
remediable Is no longer possible. Tho
time has arrived when tho advance of In
telligence and the spirit Of Improvement
must invade that citadel of stupidity, the
kitchen, and Danish from It all degrading
associations by the presence of trained
women who have made the work there
carried on matter of serious study.
Cooking should be done as Northcote
mixed his colors, with brains, sirl" The
difference between cooking that is good
and cooking that is bad is very much an
affair Of attention to trifes. And this
power of attention to trifes is tho out
ward and visible sign Of the inward and
well ordered brain. Slight mistakes,
small omissions, little things done at the
wrong time spoil dishes, and therefore
much healthful enjoyment The charm
Of good housekeeping is the order OF econ.

tails. The little things are the great
things after all, when their influence is
