Service,

Service is one of the conditions of society.
II is due from all to all in different ways
and the more fully and heartily it is given
the more happily and permanently will
social life progress. So far from service
ever being mark of degradation it is the
very mark of nobility, and he who refuses
TO render it, whatever be his talents, or
power, or wealth, or education, is the true
object of contempt. II is very often the
case that this service is bought and sold
and, where the terms of the contract are
fair on both sides and honOred by both, il
is as purely business matter as the pur-
chase of goods, their delivery and their
payment. There is no question of superb
GRITTY or inferiority, no mark of authority
or subsection in the one case any more
than in the other-New York Ledger.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak
and liver sluggish, are extra-lubie 10 the attacks
OF malarial disease. The most trifling exposure
may, under such conditions, infect a system
which, if healthy, wonld resist the missmatic
faint. The only way TO secure immunity from
malaria in localities where IL il prevalent. is TO
tone and regulate the system By improving
weakened digestion, enrich ing the blood, and
Giving wholesome impetus TO hillary secretion.
These results are accomplished by nothing so
effectively n Ho-tettsr's stomach Bitters whiG h
long experience has proved TO be the most reliahle
safegusrd against fever and ague and kindred
d.surdcrs, a well as the best remedy for them.
The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent invigo-
rant OF the organs Of urination, and active de
pureDt, eliminating from the blood those acid i'm
puriies which originate Iheumaiic ailments.

In Philadelphia, not forty years ago,
they still kept the old bread tally" Did
you ever hear OF it? / never did until this
Young grandmother told me Of il. The
customers had two pieces of wood. two or
three feet long, fastened together by the
ends. so that they were about an inch
apart. When the baker came with the
bread he would put third rod between
the other two rods, and with file make a
notch on the three. He kept the middle
rod, and both parties keep accurate ac-
counts of their business. In Canada the
tabitans still keep their accounts in this
way.-Julian Ralph in Chatter.

Married women would do well to paste
in their scrap books the following stats
tics relative to a woman's work: In one
year woman gets dinner 3G5 times, washes
the dishes 1,O95 times, gets the children
ready for school twice day for $50 days,
gets the baby 10 sleep 1,46O times and
makes about 800 calls. Who says that a
woman has nothing to do? Armed with
such an array of facts any wife may calmly
await the next time when her husband
tells her that her activity is limited in
duration and degree and then simply par
alyae him by quoting figures.

Hon. Phil Cheek, State Insurance
Commissioner, last Saturday rendered
his resignation, when tho fact was
developed that under no existing law
could Gov. Hoard appoint a success or
and the resignation therefore was not
accepted. Rather than put the people
to the expense of a special election il
is thought that Mr.. Cheek will with
draw his resignation. Were it not
for the great love that a few smart
lawyers have for technicalities there
would probably be no protest against
the Governor appointing an Insurance
Commissioner under the same law by
which he is authorized to appoint in
case of a vacancy in the Office of Sec
rotary of Sts.e. Treasurer, Attorney
General, and State Superintendent. 1t
is claimed by some that neither a
Commissioner of Insurance nor Rail-
road Commissioner can be elected ex.
cept at general election, and that a
special election cannot be held for
that purpose. As officers are liable to
die, even if not ia a habit of resign
ing, it will be well for the legislature
at its next session to cure the defects
in the present law relating to these
two State offices. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the Supreme Court would
sustain any proper method of filling a
vacancy, whether by executive APP
pointment or special election.
