Not Too Much Gold.

Gold-not yellow, but the hue of the
precious metal-yields the most satisfy
ing color sensation of which the human
retina is capable. 1t behooves the de-
signer to employ it most sparingly, save
where an effect of utmost splendor is
aimed at. Unhappily many persons with
no right to splendor desire to be splen-
did; everybody. seeing that society has
become impatient of sumptuary laws,
has legal right to be as splendid as he
can.
Every hackney driver on his cab, every
publican on his premises, every publisher
on the miserable cloth covers of his
Christmas books, may vie with his neigh
Dor and rival in the cheap and lavish use
of what is the ideal of costliness and
rarity in the fictitious display of what
used to be the emblem of truth-pure
gold.
The evil resulting from this is twofold.
Gold has alike ceased to be used by the
designer or regarded by the beholder
with any reverence, for, taking excess
i've advantage of that property which
makes it possible to spread it in infinite
simally thin layers, it is used to impart
merit to faulty design and spurious
value to cheap material. 1t is not a sin
gle jackdaw, but every contemplate or
obscene bird, that faunts itself in pea
cocks plumes.- Magazine.
General Grants Well Meant PoIiteness.
The story is told of General Grant
that while engaged in an animated ar
gument with Mrs. John A. Logan on one
occasion he opened his cigar case and
offered her cigar and took one himself
He lit his own and proceeded with the
discussion. Mrs. Logan quietly accepted
one, too, but secreted it without attract
ing attention. She now preserves that
cigar as a souvenir.-Springfeld Repub-
hcan.
Good Example.
Mrs. Goodwin-You shouldn't eat so
many peanuts, Johnny. You'll be hav-
ing dyspepsia.

pepsia. mamma?-Life.

THE government of the. United States

Iation of the Democratic party.

The force of habit was well illustrated
by story related in the hearing of the
writer a few days since. A good many
years agone there lived in this vicinity
a family regular as the Sabbath in their
attendance at church. They had horse
which for years drew the carriage to
church each Sunday. This horse would
leave home, and without guiding or di-
rection would pull up in front of the
church door. So fixed did it become in
this habit that no matter on what day or
for what purpose he was driven to town,
he would first go to~the church. If any
efforts were made to direct him elsewhere
he took the bit in his mouth and went to
the church just the same. After stand
ing at the church few minutes he was
willing to be driven away, but go to the
church first he always did. He became
known as the "church horse" There is
a good of moral in the story. Beasts are
like men.

The best example thus far of politi-
cal acrobat, man who knew when to
flop and how, comes from Georgia This
thrifty gentleman, whose name is Watts,
was appointed p. NJ. at Columbus, Ga,
eight years ago by Cleveland. When
Harrison was elected friend Watts i'm
mediately vaulted over the political
fence and became an ardent Republican.
He was reappointed by Harrison. But
no sooner was Grover again elected than
another somersault was enacted, and
Watts was back in the Democratic fold,
and an applicant for the post office. But
to spoil the story this last ambition has
been cut short. He has been removed.
1t is refreshing, though, to run across
man of such thriftiness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-Captain
McPhee. superintendent of the Saliva
ton Army's relief work in this city, is
having trying experience with 800
unemployed men camping on the sand
lots. The Sslvationists finally arranged
to provide wholesome food and clean
lodgings for the men at cost OF %
cents day each, but could not raise
eufficient funds to pay the expenses OF
the camp. They at last succeeded in
finding employment for so men day in
sweeping the streets, the men to work
four hours each night at rate by which
each would receive 90 cents to 81, pay
ment to be made in meal and lodging
tickets. Thus, for tour hours' work,
esch man would be able to live three
days, and $50 unemployed men would
become self supporting. Today, how
ever, not one OF the sand lotters would
accept work on the streets at the rate
named, and the Salvationists threaten
10 abandon the whole lot to their own
resources. The 80 men needed were
finally secured at the Salvation life.boat
station.
