PROGRESS OF A GREAT REFORM

PAOGHHSS OF a O& EAR 1EE EOk&HAs .
Civil Service Reform doesn't make the
progress that Its ardent supporters would
like to see, but 1t gains. It has got along
so far that the two great parties pay ii the
same kind Of homage that vice pays to vir-
tue, and its real friends feel that by and by
what is now hypocritically said about 1t in
party platforms will be said in all SINGER
ity. In order to hasten the coming of that
time they have decided to make q move
that can't fail to have good deal of infiu.
enee. The plan is to make an enrolment
of voters who favor the reform, and to
form q single popular organization, work
ing in every State, and to have for its
members every person enrolled. The or.
Ranizatian will then be used as effective
ly a. possible for the abolition of the
spoils system, under the national
State and local governments. It viii

A TRAITORS MISTAKE.

If Captain Benedict Arnold, formerly Of
the Governors Guard, Is where he could
look down or up on the brave and bril-
liant show in the armory last evening he
must have regretted that he was a traitor
to his country, and that the Guard, which
has for .one hundred and eighteen years
maintained continuous and honorable exis-
tence, cannot now be as proud of him as 1t
would like to be, although 1t does point
with pride to him when, as true patriot,
he impetuously led the old Guard through
Connecticut and Massachusetts to Cam
bridge.
But though Captain Benedict Arnold
didn't turn out well, the gentlemen of in
fuence and high respectability" whom he
led did, and there is no discount on their
names and flames. And 1t is pleasing to
feel that at no time in its hundred and
eighteen years of continuous and honora-
BILE existence has the Guard been composed
of gentlemen of more influence and higher
responsibility than those who fill Its ranks
to-day. Nor at any time in that
existence has it ever been more
ftly and fully commanded than by its
present Major, Captains and Captain Gen.
eral. 1t Ia great pity that Captain Bene-
dict Arnold didn't act so that he could be
without shame. But he was short-s.ghted
and couldn't see hundred and eighteen
years ahead.

man was ever stamped on coin until
after the death of Alexander the Great,
who was regarded as a divinity.
THE mite mentioned in the Gospel in

THE first European coinage was is
sued by Pheidon, king of Argos who
coined copper and silver. The best
authors place his reign at 3. C. 1888.
THE piece Of money taken by Peter
from the mouth OF the fish in order to
pay the government poll tax was an
imperial slater of silver worth about
twenty-five cents.
THE shell coins used by the Indians
were manufactured in such enormous
quantities by the Dutch at New York
that the value Of the currency was
greatly deprecated.

THE 6,O00 miles of railroads in In

In seven months of this year l2O per-
sons in Chicago have lost their lives at
railroad crossings. In Brooklyn the
deadly trolley is striving to excel Chi
cago'S record.
THE ordinary number of trains leav-
ing Waterloo terminus daily is 700,

no other London terminus do so many
general and heavy. trains leave in the
twenty-four hours. - e..

Testing Pure Water.
II is one of the easiest things in the
world to tell pare water from the inn
pure. II you want to test the color of
the water. Just fill a colorless glass bottle
with the water and look through it at
some black object, and the distinctive
ness with which You can see the object
will give you an idea as to the amount of
clay on sand there is III tie water. Then
pour out one-half the water, cork the
bottle tightly and set it III warm place
for about II hours. Remove the cork
and smell the air in the bottle. If there
is an offensive odor, even the slightest,
the water is unfit for domestic uses.
Well water, no matter how bright and
sparkling, is. nine times out of ten, pu-
trescent. Then, as matter of course,
decomposition is sure to set in in a dav
or two if You put the bottle in a warm
place.-New York Telegram.

Science is pressing relentlessly on the
heels Of the microbe. The latest method
Of coping with this minute but potent
source Of disease is to oliterally cast it out
of the abiding place in which it has in
stalled itself Micro-organisms contain
substances for the most part heavier
than water, and this fact has led to the

them from water, milk and other liquids
