IT seems to be pretty generally under
stood that President elect Cleveland will
pursue different course with his new
administration from that of four years
ago. While he has given no direct ex-
preston on the subject enough has been
learned to say that clean sweep is to
be made in all the offices. Mr.. Cleve-
land was slow in making removals four
years ago, but he has learned from his
party workers that different course is
desired this time.

NOTICEABLE in the last message OF
President Harrison is the fact that he
still occupies the same old position on
the Force Bill and High Protective Tariff
ideas. But the question is, il he had
known the result Of advocating such
views year ago as well as he does now,
would he have written then as he did ?
The President knows we'll that anything
he may advocate now will make no
change in the Democratic business.

WHILE the Republicans are INDUCING
in great deal OF innocent speculation as
to whether the Democrats will revise
the tariff peace meal or by introducing a
sweeping bill, and giving much advise as
to how and when it should be done,
they should remember that which ever
way the cat may jump, it will not be in
the direction of McKinleyism. The
country "has gone and got tired" of such
revising" of the tariff as has been
measured out to them for the last thirty
years,

Carpets on the Floors of Eating Rooms.
1T is q mistake" says a man who
is an epicure, and who regards gas
tronomy as a fine art, ''that no
amount of care will counteract to
have restaurants carpeted. The wool
will absorb the odors of the dishes
served, to give them out again stale
and unappetizing to sensitive nostrils
fresh from the outer air. noticed this
very recently in high class Boston
restaurant a visit to which has been
a distinct if minor pleasure ofmy oc-
casional trips to that city. Hereto
fore the detailed perfection of every
thing about the restaurant has made
me more than once enthusiastic, but
the other day l got there that faint,
lingering smell of past cooking which
has disillusioned me.
After taking my seat 1 left it to
dine in the mems cafe of the same
place, whose marble floor l rightly
surmised would prevent any per-
ceptible traces of former dinners.
Marble or wood makes the ideal
flooring for restaurant, whose noisy
tendencies may be subdued by strips
of carpet down the aisles and rubber
tipped chairs. Heavy draperies
should be avoided as well. New

One of the fashionable weddings
witnessed a reversal of the usual
order of things. Instead of the brides
usual trepidation the bridegroom
elect, while essaying to assist in the
decorations during the early part of
the day, was so overcome with nerv-
BUSINESS that by noon physician was
summoned and remained for some
time with the young fellow before
the remedies applied had the slight
est effect. According to the doctors
orders, he was then put to bed, the
room darkened and strict orders Civ
en- that no one should be allowed to
enter until the time arrived when it
would be necessary to dress for the
ceremony. Should these orders be
disregarded, the doctor stated that
the prospective bridegroom would
not only be unable to go through the
ordeal of the ceremony and reception.
but would be unable even to stand up.

Mr.. Babbage and His Mother.

Mr.. Babbage was always reticent
about his early life, so much so that
an impression got about that he was
of humble birth. This was not the
case. He was born in 1892 at Totnes,
in a good old mansion in the town.
Twenty years ago it was known as
1.-THE Castle Inn," and perhaps it is
still so called. His father, a well to
do banker, was nicknamed by his
townsfolk "Old Five Per Cents, he
talked SO constantly about money
matters. The eminent mathema-
tician's mother lived to great age,
and have heard from those who re-
membered earlier times that she was
occasionally to be seen at the bril-
liant receptions Babbage used to give
in the forties in this same dreary,
ghost haunted room where we then
sat, with its faded hangings and tar
nished gliding. In the old days it
was the sons greatest pleasure to
bring up his most distinguished
guests to be introduced to his mother,
the homely old lady seated on the
stiff backed sofa, the place of honor.
