GregoI. The General had favorite
walking stick without which he never
went abroad, even on his drives, ard
his walking stick had its own place i'm
the corner Of his room; no hand but his
own ever put it there or took ii thence.
Day after day the journey from his
chair to that corner before he set 70 TIL,
from the corner to tie chair after his re-
turn and the replacement of the stick in
its oAn place, grew more difficult to the
Generals nervelc5s and weary feet
And there came that day, at last. when,
on coming in, he glanced toward the
corner. stood for a moment, silently,
waveringly, a little quiver on the brave
and stealfast lips, and then with gest-
ure which was "a wordless renuncia. ion
of life and all It's dear associations, he
opened his tremuiou5 hand and let the
old stick drop from it to the floor at his
feet. 1t was but a few days later that

How Chinese women were expected to
behave themselves 2.oa0y years ago is set
forth in an ancient Chinese work in 313
chapters, of which samples have been
translated into English by Miss A. {.
Stafford. According to this yo.uminous
manual the first duty Of IL Chinese wife
in those primitive times was TO "rever-
cncc her husband in heaven" If his
life is in danger. she must not hesitate
to die FOR him. Among the many little
stories told in the book is one Of peas
ant who, durin. a severe famine, was
seized one day by some starving sol
diers, who intended to make a meal OF
him. His wife pleaded for him. My
husband is very lean,' she said; "he will
scarcely be a mouthtul for you. l am
tieshy and of dark complexion, and they
say that the flesh of such persons is
excellent eating The hungry soldiers,
We are told, were convinced by this
sound argument. and ate her instead of
her husband. As to department., in
the rr, sence of Ecr parents or parents
in-'ay n woman may not sree-e g or
cough, neither scratch. yawn, nor loll
about when tired. nor may she presume
to stare at them. She should wear a
pl. asant face and Il mild. pleasant de-
pertinent in serving them. in order to
soothe them" The wife of certain
Iiu kuny-sten comes in for a large
share of praise simply because for
thre, years after her marriage nobody
had over seen her smile. San Fran

An old New YORKER who takes snuff
regularly wrote to Santa: v Supcrintend-
ent Edison a few days ago to complain
thai some snuff which he had been using
had caused inllaminatory symptoms
which suggested poison. DIR. Edson ex
amined the sample of snuff which was
sent with the complaint, and discovered
that chromate OF lead. known in the
trade as chrome yellow. had been mixed
with the snuff to brighten it. He next
ascertainad where the snuff was manu-
iacturei in the city. and called the man
ufacturer for an explanation. Subse-
Iuentiy the manufacturer declared that
he had used the poisonous color in the
snuf 10y mistake, supposing that he was
using a harmless means of improving
the appearance of the article. He PROM
iScd to stop using chrome yellow. and
also consented to destroy some Of his
stock which had been coiorel with it.

The Committee On Civil Service has
reported to the Senate with a favorable
accommodation a Joint resolution pro-
posing SO to amen the Constitution as
to make the term OF Office of the Presi-
dent and Vice President six years in
stead of four, the former to be ineligible
for immediate reelection. The change
is to take effect March 1, 1897, which
will be the commencement Of the term
of the President who will be chosen
four years from next fall. It is not
stated in the dispatches whether a Vice
Pre- sid,nt who succeeds to the Presi-
dency by the death of the incumbent of
the office is covered by the provision re-
garding ineIigibility. The ans ndmcnt
would lose some of its efficacy if it per-
mitted Vice President who had filled
the Office of Presid, Mt for four or five
years to be elected President f the six
years following. 1t is stated that this
proposed amendment will have MANY

sirable that it should be submitted to
