SONG OF SPRING.

Hail, lovely. lovely spring; My lips their welcome bring; My heart.for joy must sing;
 Hail. lovely spring. l love thy bounteous towers; love thy leafy bowers; love thy fruits and flowers;
 Thy balmy hours. The fields no more..are sere, But robedain. green appear; On every side hear
 Sweet music's cheer. Hail to the f1ower-gemmed spring; Around tl y fragrance fling; Our joyous songs we bring;
 Hail, lovely spring.

Chambers Journal: An idea has gained currency during the past few yeals that the tomato as an article of diet is liable to produce or encourage the terrible dis. ease of cancer, and not long ago it was also stated that the use of this vegetable had been forbidden at the Cancer Hospi- tai. So widely spread has this notion be- come that Dr. Marsden, chairman of the medical committee of the Cancer Hospi- tal London, has thought it advisable to give it official contradiction. He says that his committee has been inundated with letters on the subject, and he begs pubi- cation for the following statement, which we hope will settle the matter once for all. It is the opinion of the committee "that tomatoes neither predisposo to nor excite cancer formation, and that they are not injurious to those suffering from this disease, but, on the contrary, are very wholesome article of diet, particularly so if cooked"
 The license court in Philadelphia has been somewhat surprised by the receipt of petition signed by eighteen women, and urging the granting of license to a certain saloon keeper. Theserrwomen set forth that they think it better to have a saloon in the neighborhood than for their husbands, fathers and brothers to go to a distance, because in the latter Case they remain longer and drink more. They do not insist on a license issuing to the par ticular man named, but want a licensed place in the vicinity.

"Now, in English, the letter which most frequently occurs is e. Afterward the succession runs thus: o d h r g m W kpqxz. E predomi mates so remarkably that an individual sentence of any length is rarely seen in which it is not the prevailing character.
 "Here. then, we have, in the very be- ginning the groundwork for something more than a mere guess. The general use which may be made of the table is obvious, but in this particular cipher we shall only very partially require it's aid As our predominant character is 8, we will commence by assuming it as the of the natural alphabet. To verify the sup position, let us observe if the be seen often in couples-for is doubled with great frequency in English-in such words, for example, as meet fleet speed 'seen,' 'been,' agree etc. In the present instance we seeit doubled no less than five times, although the crypto- graph is brief
 ''Let us assume 8, then, as e. Now, of all words in the language the is the most usual. Letus see. therefore, whether there are no repetitions of any three characters i'll the same order of colloca- tion, the last of them being 8. If we dis cover repetitions of such letters so ar ranged, they will probably represent the word the Upon inspection we find no less than seven such arrangements, the characters being AS. We may therefore assume that represents t, 4 represents b and represents e-the last being now we'll confirmed. Thus great step has been taken.
 "But, having established a single word, we are enabled to establish vastly i'm portant point-that is to say, several com mencements and nominations of other words. Let us refer, for example, to the last instance but one, in which the com blnation AS occurs-not far from the end of the cipher. We know that the i'm mediately ensuing is the commencement of word, and of the six characters suc- ceeding this the we are cognizant of no less than five. Let us set these charac- ters down thus, by the letters we know them to represent. leaving space for the unknown

 ''Here we are enabled at once to dis card the 'th,' as forming no portion of the word commencing with the first t, since by experiment of the entire alpha bet for 8 letter adapted to the vacancy we perceive that no word can be formed of which this tn can be part. We are thus narrowed into

 and going through the alphabet. if neces- sary, as before, we get to the word tree as the sole possible reading. We thus gain another letter, r, represented by {, with the words the tree in juxtaposition.
 Looking beyond these words for short distance, we again see the combi- nation AS, and employ it by way of ter imitation to what immediately precedes. We have thus this arrangement:

OFFIALs of the various depart
ments at Washington have at ali
times been perplexed, in dealing
with questions which involve the
determination of the construction
of the statutes, to discover exactly
what the meaning of the law is.
This is especially true of the Nc
Kinoy tariff law, and the officials
of the Treasury Department often
find the most difficult task in max
ing a decision in customs cases
to be to interpret what the Repub-
lican party intended to effect by
the passage Of their tariff bill. In
most cases the intention of the law
is apparent, but the wording of the
paragraph is SO ambiguous as to al
low of different construction. In
speaking of this matter recently
one of the Assistant Secretaries of
the Treasury suggested that these
difficulties could be avoided by the
employment an expert TO draft all
Legislative billsin proper form and
wording after the intention Of the
author had been made apparent.
This course is pursued in England,
where professional drafter is ap-
pointed whose duty is to SO word the
various proposed laws that they will
legally convey the intention " hich
parliarn ent intends they should.

THERE is encouragement to the
American boy in the Congressional
Directory which has just been is
sued by the clerk of the printing
records of the Senate. 1t may not
be his lot to win the Presidential
prize, which every American youth
is taught to believe is within the
scope of his ambition and the pos
sibilities of his future, but he can
easily imagine himself a member of
the House of Representatives at
some stage of his career, however
humble may be bis lot to-day. The
history of American statesmen
shows that the majority of those
who reach high Office in this coun-
try had humble origins. 1 he num-
Der of such instances which are
grouped in this latest issue of the
Congressional Directory is quite
large and very striking-the more
SO when it is remembered that the
biographies which appear in the
Directory are written by the mem
bers themselves, and accordingly
there is a delightful yaguenoss
about the biographies of some of
the contributors to the book and a
refreshing trankness about others.
There are four members of the com
ing House who started in life as
blacksmith's apprentices, and,
strange to say, two of them come
from adjoining districts in Califor-

TIE fiscal year ends June 80, and

of internal revenues are still in Of

will average $1,000. In some in
stances, as in St. Louis, they will
run to $4,000 yearly. 1t goes
without saying that between the
present and the 1st of July there
will be many changes in this branch
of the government, and it is caleu-
lated that from twenty to thirty

IT has been repeatedly stated that
President Cleveland would recon-
mend to the next Congress the I'M
position of an income tax, but a
number of Congressman who have
been to the White House day after
day for nearly three months past,
declare that nothing has developed
to show that the President has ever
declared himself specifically in fa-
vor OF such tax. They say that,
on the contrary, he has been care
tul to fight shy Of the subject, pre-
ferring not to commit himself in
advance Of his message to the next
Congress. More than one of them
have asked for an expression of
bis views upon this proposed piece
of legislation, but failed to secure
it. 1t is probably safe to say that
there is not man in Washington
to-day who can say whether or not
the President favors Or looks ask
ance upon the tax on incomes
barring Mr.. Cleveland himself, and
he has the faculty Of keeping his
own counsel in an unusual degree.

In the death of Col. Logan III
Roots, Arkansas loses one of her
best friends, if, indeed, his equal
can be found. His name bas been
closely identified with all the i'm
portant work done by the State
since the close of the war. Nor
was his time given to business and
political affairs alone for he held
various positions of honor and
trust of the churches and religious
societies of the State and of the
United States. 1t is in this re-
spect that his loss will be most
keenly felt, and it would be diff
cult to find another man who could
assume the various responsibilities
Col. Roots has had, and attend
them SO satisfactorially. In short,
his entire life was that of Chris
tian gentleman in the fullest sense
of the term.
