CIrizENsHIP YOUR FIRST DUTY.

ClTlZENsHlP YOUR FIRST DUTY.
Will business men ever learn that
citizenship entails upon them a duty,
and that the mere act of hastily DON
ming hat and coat, rushing to some
polling booth and dropping their ballot
in the slot, IS the very least Of that
duty? Will they ever learn that their
opinions. their views, their arguments
have q weight and an influence great
enough to turn the scales for or against
true men and pure measures? As citi-
zens of the commonwealth, the state,
the county and the city, it is their
duty. not mere privilege, but . duty
to inform themselves of men and
measures, and in 80 far as is consistent
with private duties. to spread before
those who seek their opinions the re-
suit of their cogitstions. They have no
right to refuse to be interviewed, no
right to plead very busy, no right to
say they have no interest in city poll
tics. If to this they answer "you have
no right to trespass upon our private
rights" then they may with consis.
tency be told, VERY well, sir; you by
your refusal to take part. put yourself
without the pale Of questioning any
measure, no matter how corrupt which
the officers elected by others may have
enacted, no right to share any i'm.
pIovement, any prosperity which may
have been successfully fostered. Again
70 assert that you take no interest in city
politics, is to assert that which is not
true. Every new mandatory estab
lished, every street graded, every dol
lar expended by city officials, every
% nitrsy reform inaugurated, indeed
every new resident brought to the city
is Of vital importance to you, and
| every unwiss expenditure affects you
In the face of this, to say you have ne
interest IN wise city government, il
economical expenditures, in public im
provements, is to denouuce your owr
standing in the political community
to disenfranchiss yourself, and to den,
to yourself those inalienable rights he
| queathed to you as an inheritance"

How TO POLISH A STOVE ONE n
generally work twice as hard as nee
essary over backing stove,' said
lady whom we found one day engaged
in that unromantic occupation. She
had on pair of stout leather gloves
and was applying the backing with
the round part of an ordinary shoe
brush, which she said was lighter, and
therefore much more easily welded
than the usual stove brush. The other
side of the crush she used in polishing
with light even strokes like an expert
bootblack. ct always keep soft pa
per bags from the grocer's tucked in
this box nailed up near the stove, and
every day I slip two or three over my
gloved hand and give rub; the con-
sequence is that I only need apply
a brush once a week" Another little
thing worth remembering in regard to
stove cleaning is to wipe the dust
from the stove thoroughly before you
apply any polish. There is always
right and a wrong way to do thing
and the wrong way doubles the task.
