QIOGENES, MAN.

1t was stated in st. Paul pulpit quite
recently that in the view of the authority
it specially represented it was of but
hold right views. The first essen
tial interrogatory would be as to the
honesty of the individual. HENRY
CLAY used to be credited with the dec
laration that he would rather be right
than be president. Men who are right
are quite apt to be honest, but honest
men are by no means always right.
There is no discount on the value of
sincerity, but the intensely honest peo-
pie are sometimes very uncomfortable
persons to have about. They are likely
to cherish odd cOnceitS that don't fit on
to the relations of society or individuals
well. These faith-cure people are i'm
mensely honest They vindicate their
sincerity by periling their own lives
and the lives Of their dearest kindred.
In a recent case in Brooklyn father re-
fused to allow any remedies to be given
his child threatened with diphtheria,
because he believed it indicated dis
trust of the divine promises. He was
honest, beyond all question, but his the
DRY of right differed from that of other
people, and was presumably wrong.
The common Judgment embodied in the
law pushed him aside and saved the
child; at least its death was probable
under the neglect of the father The
world is full of the abSurdities perpe-
trated in the name of honesty. CrankS
and Missionaries are generally honest,
but they are not apt to contribute very
largely to the cheerfuIness and enjoy

THE GAS EXPLOSION.

While the accident at the gas works
last evening was most deplorable one,
involving a serious loss of human life
and the destruction of valuable prop
erty, still it is gratifying TO know that it
was not the result of the carelessness of
the officials or employees. The accident
occurred in the new part of the gas
plant, and if there is any blame at all,
it will probably attach to the builders.
This is the first accident that has oc-
Cured since the gas works have been
established in this city, which is proof
of careful management. Fortunately,
the double plant. one for the manufact-
ure of!water gas and one for coal gas, will
prevent any serious trouble in the way
of lighting the city; and thus the wis
dom of having the double plant is justi-
fed,

SUNDAY CHATTER.

One night the past week two vivacious
and merry girls not past the school age
We're walking rather leisurely along
jackson street, when one remarked to
the other in voice heard by all pass
ers: MY mother worries nearly to
death when am out nights, and she
don't know where L am" A gentleman
going past turned his head to the speak
er and said: ''IShould think she would.o
That would be the conclusion OF any
risht-thinking man. A mother should
feel very grave solicitude when her
young and giddy daughter is out in the
streets OF city at night without any
known purpose or destination. The girl
may not mean anything wrong. She
may think her mother is needlessly
anxious, but the girl who will allow her
mother to be grieyed in this way has q
weakness in her moral nature that will
expose her to peril. Young fellows are
always about ready to respond to the
smallest invitation for street filtration.
The ways and results are easily traced.
The girl who is glad to be out of the ma
ternal eye is always in danger.

A Captious Mans Trouble.

Fastidious and super-sensitive people
have their sensibllities rasped in most
of the contacts with society. One Of
this class relates that his enjoyment of
one of Lillian Lewis performances in
this city was painfully married by the
gum chewing of young woman little
in front of him. She was dressed like
society lady, and would have been
taken for such but for the ceaseless
wagging of her jaws. There was no
cessation even in attempting to converse
and smile with a companion. All his
attempts to fix his attention upon the
stage and put the gum chewer out of
mind. were futile. The eyes would in
voluntarily fall upon the obnoxious OBJ
ject. In repose the countenance would
not have made an unpleasant impress
sion on the mind. but the distortions Of
the rapidly elongated jaws made pict-
ure that persists in rising before him,
marring even his devotions. He insists
that ladies who chew gum at the thea
tiers should be required to take the
rear seats. He is unfortunate in being
faStidiouS.

ment of others. Still. there is no dan
ger of there being too much undevi-
ating integrity in adhering to con-
victions i'll any community. Leav-
ing to the pulpit the regulation
of other worlds, honesty is good thing
to cultivate for this. 1t is refreshing to
find occasionally man who is so in
tensely possessed by his convictions
that he will follow them over the high
estprecipice. If he were IN legislature,
those who wanted to establish gambling
or demoralizing institutions would not
waste an effort upon him. In spite of
some irregularities, the absolutely hon.
est man is great force in the world.
He may be right or may be wrong. but
he is positive element. He helps to
energize and move things. 1t is vastly
pleasanter, however. to have the honest
man move along somewhere near the
beaten track. He needs to be both right
and honest to be most useful in affairs
and agreeable in society.

L Will give you a ready and telling
home Illustration of these facts.
For some six years l have been con-
nected with the land department of one
OF our principal railroads, the greater
part OF which time I had charge of all
the foreign correspondence, sending out
printed matter to all parts Of the globe,
and advertisements to hundreds of
prominent papers published in the five
principal languages. The replies poured
in by the hundreds daily, as high as 365
letters and postals being received in
one day. This was before the immi-
grafton bureau for the state was es-
tablished. When II. FL. Young, the
subsequent secretary of the board, pub
lished his first pamphlet. and the first
advance copies had been sent out to
authorized and official bureaus of in
formation across the sea, the demands
for railroad pamphlets dropped off fully
two thirds, and would. in all probable

A GREAT INVENTOR.

made a new invention nearly every other
week,
But something always allied It, and It
always seemed to shirk;
Its functional activity was somehow very
weak;
It's whole vitality WAS low; the blamed
thing wouldn't work.
He made perpetual things but they
would never move;
And then he made q big machine for flying
through the sky;
But there was q slight obstruction in the pis-
ton-rod or groove,
And the only trouble with il was he
couldn't make 1t fly.
And he made marine toboggans for sliding
on the sea,
A very pretty compromise of bicycle and
boat;
And on the second trial trip he said twas his
idee
The thing would slide tremendously if he
could makeit float.
And he made q panaeea that would cure
every i'll,
The long sought iifeeiixir, to the world so
long denied:
He TOOK the medicine himself. large. green
looking pill,
And twenty minutes later he laid him
down and died.

an available sister. But in England the
frequent attempts to secure the repeal
of the law have fallen short of success.
The chief opposition has been in the
church, and that had its basis in the in
depreciation of passage in the Levitt
cal claw. But the learned German pro-
fessor at the head of commission that
is revising the Scriptures finds that the
true meaning of the passage is that
man shall not marry two sisters while
both are living. That will be easily
agreed to outside Of Utah. If the Eng
fish scholars agree with the German,
there will probably be no obstacle in the
way of the passage of the bill now be-
fore parliament.

A Hot Dakota Senator.

SutCdSO j
Senator r. F. Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, was angrier yesterday than he
was the day before. He was angry be-
cause the newspapers still talk about
the restitution in South Dakota, angry
because they print stories about Sena-
tor Pettigrew's poker-piaying, and
angry because they intimate that the
senator, or his brother Fred, is about to
grab part of the Sioux reservation.

Dakota exclaimed the senator. 'tThey

South Dakota people require no help.
and you may rest assured that they will
not try to help themselves by rushing
any infamous lottery bill through the
legislature. If a lottery bill like the
North Dakota lottery bill were intro
dueed in our legislature it wouldn't get
nine votes. 1t is good thing that the
division line was drawn, for the PEG pie

And the mischief is caused by that ffeud--
The fellow who canno. reverse
He circles around like a windmill.
While WALKING with Bessie or Katei
He sweeps thro' the hall like q cyclonn.

He tramples the feet of his partner,
Who answers i'll sentences lerse:

Like ''Wbite Wings" he never grows weara
But merrily wheels all around:

He cuts Off at every bound.

And think that their lot might be WorEey
But nothing can daInt or disturb him

Tho heavy and long be his purse;
But never shadow OF hope for

Antiaua Articles.

There was recently great sale of fur
nlture at an old mansion in New York
that was supposed to be stocked with
antique articles. There was a crowd of
those who want that sort Of thing. and
the prices were purely fancy. The pur-
chasers paid handsomely for chairs that
some of the forefathers or defunct dig
nitaries had sat in, or bedsteads, mir
rors and such they had used. AS
matter of fact, however, the furniture
was all modern, secondhand stuff, taken
to that mansion to take advantage of
this peculiar conceit of people who want
to gather relics and old things. If the
purchasers never discover the deception
they will take as much satisfaction In
recalling the associations of the sup
posed early possession of the articles
as if they he'd been actual. 1t is an
effort of the Imagination in any case. A
very lucrative industry would be dis
couraged if people were not allowed to
meet the demand for relics and antique
articles,

ILLINOIS has compulsory school law
that some of the towns are trying to en-
force. Persons between seven and four
teen are required to attend school six
teen weeks in the year. Officials are
provided to look up the truants and see
that they attend school. In one town a
widow was sent to Jail because she did
not send her boy to school. It is esti-
mated to cost Chicago $4,000 this year
to enforce the law. There is some doubt
that the results compensate for the ex-
pense. Opinions differ as to the expe-
diency of the measure, but it is con-
coded that it fills many seats in the
school rooms.

Female Rights.

Recently two young women were ex-
PEELED from a state normal school in
Massachusetts because they rode a tri-
cycle, and had, perhaps, spoken to per-
sons of the other sex: There were no
other imputations Of improperly. 1t is
not surprising that the case excited
much local indignation. The normals
are supported by the state for the train
ing of teachers. The students are of
age to regulate their own conduct, and
such restrictions as are indicated belong
to the blue law era. There is no more
improperly in young lady riding on
threewheeied vehicle manipulated by
the feet than in working the treadle of a
sewing machine or riding on horse,
and the attempt to prevent all CONVEX
sation between the sexes in such an in
stltution is an absuIdity. Such regula-
tions as those of the Massachusetts in
situations are relics of another sort of
civilization, and serve to remind us that
progress is being made in social methods
and relations.
