GarneId's Respect for Hancock

Gen. Garfield came into my studio upon
my Invitation one morning wearing a soft
hat and smoking an enormous cigar. lie
tossed the hat on u chair and placing the
cigar on the mantel said he was ready to
begin operations. He was very easy sub
feet TO photograph. He spent some min
utes in examining the pictures on the
walls, until llna.iy he came TO portrait
of Gen. Hancock that had just finished
/ should have said before that Garfield had
not yet been elected president; in fact at
the time / mention the nomination had not
been made more than one week
He liked the picture Of Hancock, and
turning to ne in familiar way said that
he should be pleased to have one for his
own study table, for be admired the man
in many ways. placed one of Hancock's
pictures in the package of photographs
that sent to Mentor, and during the cam
paign the two pictures stood side by side
on the mantelpiece in Garfeld's home.
Such was the tribute that a manly man
paid to his opponent.-A- Bogardus in

Teach Them to stand Alone.

Society is mUcG infested with adult
babies who cannot, orvill not, stand alone.
These weaklings are decidedly more troub-
lesome than the little toddlers who stagger
from chair to chair in their first attempts
at unassisted locoInotion. The grown up
infant makes no effort to support himself
He insists upon always having hold of
somebody's hand, and if he has nothing to
cling to or TO lean against he lies down
and gives up. There are few energetic,
prosperous men who are not embarrassed
with one or more OF these dead weights.
The best service that any man TO whom
they attached themselves can render them
is to shake them off, providing them, if
possible, with an opportunity to exercise
whatever ability, whether of the head or
the hand, they may possess. There are in
dolent, irresolute men vino can be taught
TO stand alone. But he who is incapable
of making any effort by which success can
be achieved is a hopeless case. He is a
mere 'cumberer of the ground" and with
out value in society.-New York Ledger.

Evidences OF a Higher Civilization.

at does me good, observed the stranger
leaning against the awning post, 10 see

cities even yet"
He pointed to large wagon IN which a
poor old horse, held in kind OF frame by
a broad leather band passed under 1t, was
being carefully hauled along the street.

what we call horse ambulance"
''It proves 10 lay mind, rej0ined the
stranger feeiingly, that tho people in

eager scramble for wealth but that they
have time and inclination TO cultivate those
finer feelings Of the hean that lie at the
foundation OF all that is highest and no
blest in our civilization. But here comes

down in 1t. Some offender against the

throat, higher and squarer than we saw

Diplomacy in Dress.

Yes, there is thought in good clothes.
Who does not remember the noble maxims
for dress of the Incompatible Pelham
There is no diplomacy more subtle than
that of dress" There is q story told in one
of the departments that illustrates this
fact perfectly. A certain young man
wished to be appointed chief of bureau.
He was naturally a tremendous swell.
When he was in his element he wore a
single barreled eyeglass, his shoes were
always Of patent leather; he put his trou-
sers between the mattresses at night, so as
to preserve the crease in them. He never
crossed lis legs or even bent them if he
could help it, and in this way he Kept away
the dreaded bagging at the knees. He car
ried a cane all full Of knobs, and each
knob was tipped with silver. dis hats
were the result Of intellectual ccncentra-
ton, and his cravats showed unmistaka-
BILE evidences of genius. He was a swell
and no mistake. But before he had the
interview with the cabinet officer from
whom he expected to get employment he
went to one who knows him well, and,
taking him aside, said;
What sort of clothes does Secretary -
wear?"
'Oh," was the reply, che hates clothes.
He keeps coat Till it falls to pieces. 1t is
entirely to the prayers and entreaties Of
his wife and children that we owe the apol-
ogy of a necktie that he puts on. He has
a series of buttonholcs on his shirt collar,
and when the weather is warm he lets out
a reef or so; and his trousers Oh, hor-
rors! They resemble nothing so much as
a couple of meal sacks strung together"
Enough, said the exquisite. II under
stand" And he went and put on the shah
best clothes he had, and left his eye
glasses behind him and wore no gloves. A
simple tie supplied the place of the gor-
geous scarf ne usually wore, and a turn
down collar took the place of the high in
verified cuffs which he was accustomed to
peep over.
Thus attired he saw the good old secre-
tary, presented his recommendations,
which were strong, and received the ap-
pointment without raising the slightest
suspicion in the mind of the head of the
department that he was appointing dude.
Who can deny that there is truth in Pei
hams maxim that there Is diplomacy in
Cor. New York Times.

The Kiss in Iiternfurn-

All authors, both men and women, have
used the kiss to enhance the flavor of their
pages, but with difference Women treat
it with more deliberate ceremony and sol
emn significance: the men show better
taste by giving it light, humorous touch.
Shakespeare deals with it profusely, and
one Of his merry characters advises all
lovers to offer kiss when they can think
Of nothing TO say.
Dickens could describe a kissing scene
with an inimitable mixture of fun and
sentiment.
Thackeray was very delicate in his treat
ment of our subject. Give Newcomb en-
joyed little railroad trip with Miss Ethel
when they were in love They went through
several tunnels. IL is only limited that the
lovers kissed in the dark-Kate Kaufman

Tho Wool smoke Cure.

The value of the smoke from burned
wool to remove the pain and soreness from
wounds Of all kinds, or from sores, is
great, and II will give immediate relief
from the intense pain caused by gather
ing. The easiest way to prepare this is to
cut all wool tiannel-if you haven't the
wool-in narrow strips, take some hot
ashes with a few small live Goals on a
shovel, sprinkle some of the flannel strips
on it, and hold the injured member in the
smoke for five or ten minutes, using plenty
of the flannel TO make thick smoke. Re
peat as often as seems necessary, though
one smoking is 1sually enough. New
