This world fours, which seems to
be so full Of misfortune and misery, is
Astounding in pictures to charm the
eye and make glad the heart, If we
will only look for them. The trouble
with too many Of us is, we are blind
to them from thoughtlessness. We
have made up our minds that there is
not much sunshine for us, and that we
might as well sit stillin the midst Of
disapointments and darkness as to
80 out in search Of light and happi-
ness which are not for us. But thew
are for you and everyone, and not
least among LIES duties is that we
seek them with gladness and with
faith. Poor thankfulness is that We
give for all our blessings if our days
are spent in murmurings that all our
wishes are not grati6ed. The harvest
is unto the reapers; it is ricl, and
bountiful, but the golden grain will
waste If not gathered and stored.

At the beginning Of the civil war
Jay Gould wrote letters to a friend
expressing his belief that the result
of the effort to overthrow the govern
ment would be the organization of
military power in the South, and the
North would be forced to join with
Canada under the English govern
ment to protect itself from the aggres-
sions of the South. He expressed
himself that the English form of
government was the best on earth
and said:
The South has no navy, and never
can sustain one Of her own, and hence
she will seek an alliance with some
nation of maritime strength, most pro-
badly France. The North will
neutralize this powerful alliance by
an amicable annexation Of Canada,
converting the whole into a powerful
kingdom, calling to the thrown AL
fred Edward, Queen Victoria's second
son. I confess I believe the English
government to be the most perfect
form Of government that ever existed.
A government must have strength or it
cannot stem the plottings Of treason
and the tide Of adversely"
If the government had teen better
adapted to Jay Gould's desires he
would doubtless been able to obtain
greater prosperity. He succeeded
very we'll, however, considering the
poor chances man has in this coun-
try.

POWDER AND BALL.

The average German soldier is on duty
about ten hours day. r~
Krupp's great gun works at Essen con-
sumo l,666 tons of coal and coke day.
The last soldiers in France to wear de.
fensive armor were the pikemen, whose or
ganization was abolished in 1875.
The German navy now possesses eighty,
six vessels, either afloat or ready for com,
bat, representing total of s19,063 tons.
The officers of the German army are to
have a new cloak, the novelty of which lies
in the fact that by an ingenious device the
cloak may be made thick or thin. It is
adapted for winter or summer use.
AS soon as the new military laws shall
have come into full effect the German army
will comprise 100000 men, the French
4,350,00O, the Russian 1900, 1000, the Italian
1926, 900, the Austrian 1906, 1000, the Swiss
4s9, 900 and the Belgian 5000. Altogether
Europe will be able to dispose of not less
than q, 100000 soldiers. or 100000 more
than she had in 1869.

WOMEN OF IRRITABLE TEMPER.

It is like living in a den of snarling
animals to live with person who has
this sort Of a temper, writes Ella.
Wheeler Wilcox in an article on
"The Destroyers Of Domestic Edcns. !"
in the February Ladies Home Journal.
Many an Eden is destroyed by it
while the possessor prides himself up
on being a good Christian, and doing
his whole duty by his family. Yet,
if the soup lacks a little salt, or con-
tains little too much pepper, if a
child is noisy in its mirth, if a drawer
sticks, or door slams, or chair
creaks, each triHe calls forth an ex-
hibition Of disagreeable temper, which
ruins the comfort and peace of the
household for all hour. Many a
woman is addicted to this sort of tenn
per and calls it 'her nerves." and
considers herself the most devoted
wife and mother in the world. Yet
if she is obliged to delay her dinner
for any member Of the family, if she
is called from one task to perform
another, if the children scatter their
playthings, or leave their school
books in the parlor, she INDUCES in
such petulant scolding that a gloom
settles over the whole household. She
would consider it no difficult thing to
die for that household, if it were de-
lnanded of her. But to control her
irritable temper is a task too great to
demand of her And so the Eden is
destroyed, and the children grow up
eager to get out of the home where
everything is uncomfortable, and the
parents wonder why all their. sacri-
fees are 50 poorly appreciated, why
their children, for whom they have
toiled and saved, seem to care so little
about their home, and why they seem
so anxious to seek pleasures else
where.

Whenever Tammany has been held
in check by formidable opposition,
its appointments have shown some
respect, or at least fear, before public
opinion. It IS too prudent to defy
propriety while its power is threatened.
But now that it is supreme, it throws
off disguise, and reveals the naked
deformity of that selfish greed which
inspires its whole career. Throughout
its history its character has been
consistent and its aims unchanged.
Whether he puts forward as ap-
parent leader a patriotic and wise
statesman as a tool of its secret
masters, whether it supports a Hewitt
or Gilroy, its ultimate purpose is
the same. 1t is conspiracy to plumber
the citizens in the name of govern
ment. In its nature it cannot
present good nomination, save when
it must deceive its victims in order to
secure its power; and the power once
gained is used without scrup.e. 1t
could not act otherwise. The fancy
that the vast, complex business of the
metropolis can ever be properly
conducted under the sway of an
association pretending to be political,
which has no aim but to coutrol the
municipality, and no life but the
spoils of office, is absurd. It is not
by Tammany, nor through Tammany,
nor with Tammany, it is only over
Tammany that the way lies to any
reform in city government. The
appointments of last week will doubt
less cost New Y ork heavily. Their
evil results can never be exactly
measured, but it is likely that, in
years to come, life will be cheaper and
living dearer, public order less secure.
vice and crime more rife, and the
community poorer by millions of
dollars in consequence Of them. Yet
if they open the eyes of citizens to the
one way Of reform, they may still
prove worth their cost. There may
be some reason to think that the.
hand which has thus moved Mayor
Gilroy as its puppet has overleaped
its purpose, and that these appoint
ments are the beginning Of the end.
