An ancient legend says that the angel
on guard at the door of heaven was once
asked by an inquisitive passer if more
married or more single women passed
through.
"More married ones." he promptly an
swered.
"Indeedr' said the questioner, who was
q man, and who Immediately began to
plume himself. Their husbands vir-
tues of course admitted them. That was
right. The stronger should aid the
weaker"
NO." replied the angel. "that is not
the reason"
"Then what is it?'
"Well, if you must know" said the
angel con6dentially, "we pass them first
on their own merits. Lots Of 'em get
through that way. Then, when we can't
find any other recommendation for a
married woman, it is written against her
name, These are they which have come
up out of great tribulation,' and the
gates fly OPEN"

Live Within Your Means. ,

An American capitalist, who is keen
observer, is reported to have said that he
did not believe that there was an Ameri-
can citizen whose income represented a
salary who was not living beyond his
means. And he added that, if the man
had family, he was bringing up that
family to standards and wants that he
could not honestly crafty. Our own OBJ
servation does not bear witness to this
assertion. But if the alleged fact be true
to any considerable extent it must be
regarded as among the causes of the
many embezzlements and other pecun-
iary delinquencies which have become
so common of late years.
playing the races" has been the ruin
Of multitude, but living beyond ones
means must bear part of the blame. And
it is more serious than is commonly i'm
agined. 1t involves false pretenses and
fraud. It is mean species of crime,
and yet often committed without any
conjunction. Men are afraid or ashamed
to say, II can't afford it," and yet are
not afraid or ashamed to contract debts
which they know that they cannot hon
estly pay.-Christian Intelligencer.

How few of those who are constant
ly bowling against trade with England
have any idea of what that trade
amounts to, and how largely in favor
of the United States it is. Were it not
for England the surplus products of
our farmers would rot In the gram
aries. For the year ending June 30.
1892, the total expectation from this
country to all the world were 81 ,O55,-
600, 900. OF this amount the British
government and Its colonial posses
sions bought 1854, 100000. Think of is.
The English purchased from the
United States nearly 25 per cent. of
everything we sold. The importations
into the United States from all foreign
countries for the same period was
slightly in excess of 5000, 100000. or
this amount we purchased from the
British and their colonial possessions
1852, 100000. The English bought
from us $2O2, 2,O0O,0 900 more than we
bought from them. These facts are
taken from the report Of the statisti-
clan of the U. s. treasury depart
ment, made to Charles Foster, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, on the 3Oth day
of June, 1892. Yet In the face of
these astounding facts there are lots of
blatant, igorant fools running around
decrying our trade with England.

One Of the hardest notions for the un-
trained nurse TO give up is that beef tea
is valuable nutriment. The recent as
sertion of writer in The American
Lancet that thousands of sick persons
have been starved to death on beef tea
is only summing up Of what physicians
and expert nurses have been trying to
impress upon the minds of the laity for
some time.
Beef tea is a stimulant, slight and
evanescent, but to "live on beef tea,"
which has been the shibboleth of many
q sickroom, is impossible. And The
Lancet further counsels that if it must
still be made and used to perform its
very limited service, to remember that,
like plain tea, it should never be boiled.
That method of making contributes a
positive vice-that of indigestibility.

Does stage love impair real love?-Bosten
Globe.
We cannot say for sure, but we guess
not, or anyhow not always. Perhaps, in
truth, real love and stage love are often
Of the same essence, of like substance, of
similar quality, and closely akin to each
other. Indeed, for all we can say, the
resemblance between them may be
marked, or even very marked. Ask the
younger Dumas or M. Pierre Lott or Mr..
Robert L. Stevenson or, in case all those
persons have gone out, ask the well in
formed Mr.. William D. Howells of this
place, who rarely ever goes out, except
to collect the proceeds Of his copyright
from the publishers Of his novels. We
are unable to say whether Professor
Helmholtz, the German chemist now in
this country, who is a man Of analysis
and apprehension, could throw any light
on the subject. But we can tell the Bos-
ton Globe that it is very foolish in put
ting its question about stage love and
real love to stage lovers and real lovers,
as it has vainly done. The question is

With his foot caught and firmly held
in a frog on the Reading railroad track
at West Falls, John Duffy met death in
fearful form. Duffy was employed as a
brakeman by the Reading company, and
ran ahead of his train to open a switch.
That duty performed, he signaled his
engineer to bring on the train.
His signal was observed. and as the
train came toward him Duffy found
that his foot was caught firmly in q
frog. He shouted for help and made
frantic efforts to release himself, but in
vain. The noise Of the putting engine
drowned his cries, and when the engi-
neer saw the struggling man in the full
glare of the headlight it was too late to
save his life.
Swiftly the great engine bore down on
the frantic prisoner, and though the
the lever was reversed and the brake put
down hard the locomotive struck Duffy
and he was literally cut in two. Death
was instantaneous, but the expression
on the dead face showed plainly the ter
rible agony the man had endured for a
few onds.-Philadelphia Record.

Cleyelaufi's New Rule.

President Cleveland seems to have
decided upon a new and radical change
in the appointment of colored citizens
to office. The New York Age says:
ITO say that President Cleveland
has created a big sensation in his new
departure is to state things mildly.
The color line in Office holding has
been broken, and broken by a Demo-

The Hon. Chas. H. Taylor has been
appointed Minister to Bolivia. He Is
an able colored citizen of Kansas City,
and some Republican newspapers
have censured the President for send
ing gentleman of his color to post
heretofore filled by white men. Mr..
Taylor said of himself the other day:
"The worst they have said about me
is that I am very black and have made
q lot of Democratic speeches."
Mr.. Cleveland during his first term
appointed me Minister to Liberia
against my protest, and resigned af-
ter serving seven months. I was a
delegate to the Democratic National
Convention at 81. Louis in 1888, being
the first colored man so honored. /

Democrats at my home, and unani-

only four colored men ever admitted

preme Court, and altogether I con-
slider that l have done fairly we'll for a

Mr.. Taylor is one of the controlling
forces in the National Democratic
League which has its headquarters in
Washington.
Cleveland is not only sending black
men TO white countries, but he is send
white men to black countries. A few
weeks ago he appointed Henry Clay
Smith, an Alabama negro, to be Con-
sui TO Santo, Brazil. With In the past
