One evening this week a young
lady of this city asked young gen.
tleman if he could transpose the let
ters In "enough" so as to form two
words which meant not enough. He
took pencil and paper and struggled
over the problem some time when
suddenly his face was illuminated by
look of holy joy. The characters
stood out before him in this form,
'one hug" 1t is needless to say
that energetic successive constric-
tions proved his ability to read 9

Mother.

Lord Maculay pays this beautiful
tribute to his mother: "Children,
look in those eyes; listen to that
dear veice: notice the feeling of
even single touch thus bestowed
upon you by her. Make much of it
while you have the most praclous
gift of all gifts, loving mother.
The unfathomable look of those eyes,
the kind anxiety of the touch and
look, however slight your pain. In
after life you may have friends, but
never will you have again the mex
presslble love and gentleness lavish
ed upon you, which none but moth
er bestows. Often do 1 sigh in the
struggles with the hard uncaring
world for the sweet, deep security j
felt when of an evening, nesting ID
her bosom, 1 listened to some quiet
tale suitable to my age, In her un:ir-
ing voice. Never can l forget her
sweet glances cast upon me when ]
appeared asleep, never her kiss of
peace at night

A FUNNY man who was asked the
question, ''Where is the state of
matrimony ?'' received the explana-
tory answer: sit is one Of the
United States. 1t Is bounded by
hugglng and kissing on one side and
cradles and babies on the other. Its
chief products are population, broom
sticks and staying out of night. 1t
was discovered by Adam and Eve
while trying to find passage out of
paradise. The climate is rather sui

A Konster Tarifr 27uindle.

A recent decision OF the supreme
court puts snug sum of nor sy into
the pockets of the silk importers.
They were plaintiffs in case against
the government to recover s7,000,-
600 which they had disbursed in the
payments of duties on imported silk
ribbons. The silk tariff schedule
was ambiguous regarding this item
and they were charged so per cent.
duty, whereas, they claimed, they
should have been charged but 20 per
cent. The supreme court has decid-
ed the suit In their favor and the
enormous sum of $7,000,0 900 is re-
turned to their pockets. OF course,
it is clear gain. The goods on
which they paid this excess of duties
we're sold long ago, and the full
duty of so per cent. was paid by the
consumers. By the ambiguity Of
the law and the stupidity of custom
house officials the latter were over
charged for their silk ribbons just
81 100000 They have been swim
died out of that amount. The tariff
is big enough swindler when con-
strued strictly in accordance with
the law, without blunders of this
kind to still further defraud the
consumer.-Monyoe City Neaos.

NEWSPAPER subscribers in arrears
should bear in mind that a dun is
not an impeachment of their integri-
ty, but simply an outcropping of "
publishers necessity. For instance,
q thousand men owe him from two
to four dollars each. 1t is a small
amount to each individual, but To
the publisher the aggregate is large.
Instead of becoming indignant be-
canse the publisher asks for his hon.
est dues, the delinquent should be
grateful to him for waiting so pa.
tiently, and pay up like man.

Mot q SLAVE TO Fashion.

The woman who can not be happy
unless she Is fashlonably dressed
must sometimes envy her sister over
whom fashion has no power; who
cares only to be neat and comforta-
BILE, and goes her own way regard
less of the temptations of dry-goods
stores and millinery establishments.
Think of the time saved, the mon
ey used for better purpose, as well
as the peace of mind enjoyed by the
woman who entered the milliner' $
store, placed bulky bundle on the
counter, and said calmly:
"I'd like to have you put couple
of yards of good black ribbon with a
little velvet on this bonnet, and some
new lining into it. I've worn it for
six years, and the trimming needs
freshening up, but the bonnet itself
Is good for slx years longer. I'll
call for it tomorrow.
Then this feminine philosopher
walked out of the shop without be-
slowing a glance on the charming
creations in lace and feathers and
flowers, over which other women
would have made themselves happily
miserable for half the forenoon

GROVER CLEVELAND, in discussing
the tariff question to a Missouri
newspaper man, said: 81 was gen.
timely pleased to find IN Boston,
among men who are constitutionally
conservative, degree of earnestness
and fervor beyond that Of men en-
gagged in politics. From my obser.
vations there and in New York, and
from my correspondence, l conclude
that the thinking men of the nation
are massed almost solidly on the
side of tariff reform. Whatever
may be our ups and downs there Is
no danger as to the destiny of a par
ty which absorbs the best brains,
intelligence and honesty of thought
and the cause which draws these
elements toit. support Is sure of

FREE KINDERGARTENs.
The Commissioners Asked to Further
the Project Before Congress.

The Commissioners Asked to Further
the Project Before Congress.
AT the last meeting of the School Board
il adopted a set of resolutions favoring the
addition of free kindcrgartens to the pres
ent school system, which was transmitted
to the Commissioners yesterday with the
urgent request that they be sent to Con-
gress ut an early day.
In his last report (Which accompanied
the resolutions) Superintendent Powell
says: 81 am of the opinion that the estab.
ishmcnt of the kindergarten system will
reach children who later in life form the
truant element that soon degenerates into
greater evils. The new idea will enable
us to discipline these young people before
they become incorrigble and lose their
self-control."
Mr.. Powell recommends that twenty
teachers be added to the present number,
as kindergarten instructors, at an expense
ofSl3, 100.
This, with $4,000 added to the rent
fund and $4,000 added to the manual
training fund.- would enable the board to
establish twenty kindergartens.
