The Sincerity Of Republican Promises.

AHc ItcpuDliCdu party mas now Doeu
Ill power less than rwo months, but it
has already notified the country that
its four years banishment from office
and emolumcnts has in no wise altered
its aims or cured the tendencies that
caused the popular upheaval that
swept it from power in 1884. After
making the canvass of last year on ci-
vii service principles. the successful
leaders of the Republican party have
begun their reign by bluntly ignoring
all the requirements of the civil SER
vice law, and removing officials and
filling vacancies thus created without
the slightest regard to the statutes
that they boasted of being willing and
ready to obey to the letter. In spite
OF Clevcland's obedience to the civil
service law. he was roundly berated
by the Republicans for his weakness
III not adhering strictly enough to tho
very letter of the act, yet these same
people, now that they are in power,
have shown their utter inconsistency
by openly disregarding all such ham,
pering regulations.
The wild rush for Office and the in
satia,le greed shown by the Republic
can parti.ans in insisting upon their
share OF the spOils have presented q
most humiliating spectacle for the vo-
ters OF the country, and cannot but
have given foreign critics just grounds
for denonncin. the mercenary cllarac-
ter Of American politics. Although
some of the leading Democratic OFF,
cials are to be permitted to serve out
their terms, the large body Of subor-
dlnates have been removed without
mercy, and even those classes of gov
ernment employees protected by the
| rules Of the civil service have been
treated with as little ceremony.
But perhaps the most serious and un-
satisfactory movement on the part of
the Republicans is the readiness dis
played to raid the treasury by means
of increased pension recommenda-
tions. According to the plan now
mapped out, there is to be TO limit
fixed to the liberality with which pen
sion claims are to be allowed, so that
there is every probability that the in
creased expenditures that will be i'm
posed on the country by these pay.
| ments will more than suffice to wine
out the surplus and thus save the coun-
try any further annoyance on that
score.
All these evidences prove that the
Republican party of o-day is the same,
utterly corrupt organization that an in
dignant people expelled from power in
1884, the severe lessons of defeat and
loss OF Office having failed of all salu-
tary influences. President Harrison
personally would like to pursue a con-
servative course, but it is doubtful if
his individual influence aud example
will avail to moderate the rapacity OF
his party.-N. o. Pieayune. "a

A newspaper in Ohio recently
brought SUIT against forty three men
who would not pay their subscrip-
tions, and obtained Judgment in each,
case for the amount OF each claim.
OF these twenty eight made affidavit
that they owned no more than the
law allowed, thus preventing attacl-S
ment. Then under the decision of.
the Supreme Court, they were arrested
for petty larceny and bound over in
the sum of $500 each. All but six
gave bond while six went to jail.
The new postal law makes it larceny
to take a paper and refuse to pay for
it.-Toledu Blade.
When people fall into sudden for-s
tune, we wonder that they SO often
squander or misuse it., They only,
illustrate the law of living that one
can not either rightly employ or truly
enjoy what one has not in some true
SENSE earned. Only the worker knows.
the meaning of rest. Only the wise
man knows the incapacitv of the ig-
norant. Only the liberal can measure
the pitiful littleness of the stingy. Sos
only he who has worked his way to
the heights of noble achievement aud
character can appreciate the value Of
life and the glory of 4 right use of it.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Many of Them Able to Outstrip Birds of
Great Swftness.

High speed is attained by insects in
their flight, many of them being able
to outstrip swift birds. 1t has been
computed that the common house fiv,
in ordinary flight makes 800 strokes
per second and advances TWENTY-FIVE
feet, but that rate of speed, if the in
sect be alarmed, may be increased SIX
or seven fold, so that under certain
circumstances it can outstrip the fleet
est racehOrse. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see bee or wasp endeavoring
to get in at the window of a railway
train in full speed. and it is calculated
that if small insect can fly faster than
a race-hOrSe can run, an insect as large
as horse would be able to travel as
fast as a cannon-ball. Leunwenholk
relates an exciting chase, which he be-
held in a menagerie, about 100 feet
long, between swallow and dragon
fiy-among the swiftest of insects. The
insect flew with incredible speed and
wheeled with such address that the
swallow, in spite of its utmost efforts,
completely failed to overtake and cap
ture it. A pigeon fancier of Hamme,
in Westphalia, recently made wager
that a dozen bees liberated three miles
from their hive would reach it in better
time than q dozen pigeons would reach
their cote from the same distance. The
competitors were given wing at
Rhyhern, village nearly d league
from Hamme, and the first bee reached
home a quarter of minute in advance
of the first pigeon. Three other bees
reached the goal before the second
pigeon, the main body of both detach-
ments finishing almost simultaneously
an instant or two later. The bees, it
may be mentioned. had been handl-
capped in the race, having been rolled
in flour before starting for purposes of
Identification. According to Chabrier
the male of the silk-worm moth travels
upward of 100 miles in one day, and
there are many British moths, as ento-
mologiststs well know, which can
cover long distances in an incredibly
short space of time.

DISSECTINC OUR LIFE.
Queer Statistics Deduced by a Man with q
Mathematical Head.

A man whose head is bullying with
mathematical problems has figured
out the disposition of every hour of
the daily life of an average man, and
tells just how many hours a man of
fifty years has devoted to his toilet,
meals or newspaper. LET me as
sume." said he to Philadelphia Rec
ord reporter, "that the sleeping hours
of the average man will number eight
daily. That is one-third of his time,
SO in fifty years your man will have
slept all told sixteen years and eight
months. The man who is shaved daily
at so years probably had his face
scraped not oftener than three
times per week at 25 years. while dur
ing his eighteen years a razor never
touched his face. Say that the semi
centenarian has averaged two shaves
a week for fifty years, and that will
give 500 scrapes in the half century.
AT an average of fifteen minutes per
shave the time devoted to this one
small element of life will run up to
fifty-nine days and nine hours. If a
man should not shave in fifty years,
and then attempt to make up his pro-
portion all at once, he would have to
shave night and day for nearly two
months.
The average man, who is not linn
tied to twenty minutes for dressing,
breakfast and catching his train, con-
sumes about thirty minutes in getting
inside his clothing in the morning.
Half an hour per day for fifty years
would amount to one year, fifteen
days and five hours, so that if man
should dress himself at the start in
life for the whole fifty wears he
would pass two weeks beyond his
first birthday anniversary, and this
means working twenty four hours per
day. A bath should precede dressing,
however, and twenty minutes day
for that purpose would put man in
the tub for eight months, thirteen days
and eleven hours out of the fifty years.
For other demands of the morning
toilet allow ten minutes per day, or
four months, five days and twenty
hour in half century. Why, just a
single minute every day spent in
hunting for a collar button means
twelve DAYS and fourteen hours in the
course of fifty years.
Half an hour for breakfast, forty
minutes for lunch and an hour for
dinner amount to five months, five
days and nine hours of eating in fifty
years of life. The man who lives
away up in the Twenty-eighth Ward,
and spends an hour each day jogging
to and from business in horse car,
may not realize it, but it is neverthe-
less true that in thirty years one year,
three months, one day and six hours of
his time will go in that way. When a
man reckons his time as worth so cents
an hour it seems rather rough to think
that it takes $182.50 worth every year
to get to business and back home
again every day."

JOYS OF CAMP LIFE.
ALI Modern Inconvenience, with Huge
Lot of Fun Thrown In.

Did you ever 90 camping out? That's
the real way to take solid comfort DUR
ing a vacation. Avoid country hotels
and farm houses, is the Boston Her.
aids advice. The true path to enjoy
ment is to get party of three or four,
hire tent, load yourselves like pack
mules with bedding, frying pans and
shotgun and 90 somewhere. The
further you get away from home the
better you will enjoy yourself. AL
most every party that goes camping
starts off In one of the eastern-bound
steamers, and buries itself somewhere
in the State of Maine. To be sure
there are good woods and other essen
tails for camp life only a few miles
from home, but it is an essential point
to get as far off as possible.
You have taken your gun along and
some day you succeed in shooting a
couple of chipmunks and sparrow,
perhaps. You don't know how to
dress them, though, and about one
quarter of the flesh is wasted in the
process. 1t is easy enough to cook
them. Put them into a pot of water,
throw in some salt and let them boil.
By and by the flesh boils off the bones,
and then you regret not having studied
up on this matter of cooking. If one
is really hungry the chances are that
he will have to walk two or three
miles to procure pint of milk and
few eggs from some farmers wife.
Eggs are food peculiarly fit for the
camper out, in that every body knows
how to cook them. But the best way
is to beat them all up together and
scramble them. You proceed to break
them, one by one, in a tin dipper,
daubing your hands and clothing liber-
ally in the operation. The last one is
stale, and you suddenly decide you
do not care for eggs that day. With
average camping luck there will be a
smart shower every day, clearing off
soon enough for your traps to dry be-
fore the next one comes along to wet
them again.
Here is an extract from a letter
written in camp, which will illustrate
some of the beauties of the life: flow
ard and Dick have gone off cunning,
or trying to gun; Joe is outside the
tent, busy about something, and have
the first peaceful moment [ have had
since we came here. This is real fun.
We are having an immense time. Rain
for four days, but it is lively this morn
ing. I wish you could see the bushes
about here now. Every one presents
some picturesque appearance, covered
as they are with overcoats, rubber and
wooden blankets drying in the sun.

Sherman's Trained Eye.

An interesting story of General
Sherman is told by Park guard.
When he was last in this city he was
riding along the Wissahickon when he
saw the sergeant of the guard riding
toward him. ''That man is an old
cavalryman," said the General, and
when he got opposite to him he was
saluted by the sergeant in military
manner.
HALT, Sergeant" said the General.
The latter stopped and again salut-
ed.
.'You are an old soldier, cavalry
man, Sergeant" said Sherman.
Eyes, General, of the Seventh Cav
airy: l served twelve years after the
war;"
"Ah! then you knew of Custer and
Major Reno?"
81 was one of the fortunate ones of
that command to escape and be res
cued by Terry"
Sherman smiled. Then the old SOL
der told again the tale of the massa-
ere. At the conclusion General Sher-
man said: Sergeant, let me shake
hands with you; you are brave man. "
81 never make mistake" added the
General, as he drove on. "A civilian
never rides like that, and the salute
settled all doubts. Philadelphia In

A bright Boston woman who abounds
in laconic wisdom not only asserts the
possibility of happy and ideal mar
riages, but ''lets" us into the secrets
of it in these crisp hints:
Let each allow the other to know
something.
Let each consult the others feel
ings.
Let each realize the fact that they
are one.
Let the husband frequent his home,
not the club.
Let his having to see a man" wait
till next day.
Let his latch key gather unto itself
rust from disuse.
Let him speak o his wife, and not
yell 'tSay!' at her
Let him be as ourteous after mar
riage as before.
Let him confide In his wife; their in
terest is equal.
Let him assist her in identifying the
home.
Let him appreciate her as his best
partner.
Let him not worry her with petty
troubles.
Let her not narrate Mrs. Next Doors
gossip.
Let her not fret because Mrs. Neigh
Dor has a sealskin.
Let her make home more pleasant
than the club.
Let her dress as tastefully for him
as strangers.
Let her sympathize with him in bust
ness cares.
Let her home mean love and rest,
not noise and strife.
Let her meet him with a kiss not
frown.

A Banana Eating Horse.

An Italian in Boston, who had
stationed himself close by the entrance
to the circus grounds, that he might
more easily dispose of the fruits which
he had 30 sell, became SO interested in
two Turks who had escaped from the
grounds, and had been strolling about
the Back Bay, that he forgot all about
the wagon load of bananas which were
beside him, until he turned suddenly
and observed a horse attached to
an express wagon calmly eating
from the stock of bananas as if they
haG been placed there for his especial
benefit. The spectacle of a horse eat
ing bananas was so amusing to the by
ISLANDERS that they didn't call the own
ers attention to it, but when the Italian
who owned the fruit, and the Hibern-
ian who drove the horse began to
argue with each other, there was more
excitement than was heard inside the
circus tent.-BoSt01e Traveller.

Song of the Ghost-Seer.

Not every man is dead that you meet no
more on the street,
Not always the heart is warm when the
cheeks with bushes heat,
Not always the kindly meant act is taken well
meant and kind,
Not always the face that is fair betokens
gentle mind.
IT'S sad when your friend is dead, or you
meet him no more on the street.
Yea! / grieve for the proud hot heart that
makes bitter things most sweet,
A face that is fair is good, but better gentle
heart,
IT'S well to know and love them, though bit
ter the pang to part.
Hove not sorrow. own it, yet many woes
fiji my cup; .
healed when drank it up;
Friends, mo bhron' / made them and lost
them, as the bright stars rise and set.
Of friends some lead astray, like stars, but
love their memories yet
And they come still like ghosts in sunlight,
the friends of those other years,
Some faces all bright and sunlit, some wet
with a rain of tears;
They come and they leave me lonely, they
come and they make me glad,
The unbidden guests of my spirit, with greet
ings grim or sad.
They walk by my side in the city; though
you see not, they are nigh,
Then / ofttimes pass you unknowlng, for the
dead hold my mind and eye;
Yes, / fain would love the living, but l must
not forget the dead;
They whisper me words of wonder, and tales
that may not be said.

in the ways o. men:
