It Is Virtue or a Vice, Regarded From
Different Standpolnts.

Different Standpolnts.
We wonder If "nearness' is, pc
nuriousness which never passes the line of
ripht-really In foible or not. Through
out the world, with the exception of Eng
land and the United States, 1t is consid-
cred q virtue or rather necessary ele-
ment in strong and healthy character.
A GOOD Frenchman or German or italian
Gnlnks lG Positively wrong TO waste a six
pence and holds overpayment to be waste
simply. He will give If necessary, though
not ln-gc.y, except from come religious
or family motive, but he will not part
with any right, and one of his rights is to
have service at the legal or the contract
price. The Scotchman has nearly the
same idea, and it is said, though we do
not know 1t, that good Englishmen, If
born wealthy, are rarely without trace
of it, and that, though they will give tips,
they give moderately and will never over
pay.
The mass of Englishmen and Amer
leans, on the contrary, hold "nearness" to
be either vice or at all events con-
temptible quality which spoils their liking
for otherwise fine characters. Up to six
pence, neither of them, unless pressed by
poverty, will bother themselves with econ
omies, and they regard the continental
ways about pennies with humorous con-
tempt. The lower English-we cannot
answer for their equivalents in America
have an even stronger feeling, regard the
free handed man as the good" man and
hate skinfint more than they hate many
kinds of evildoers. Moreover, they act up
to their own theory and are as a rule I'M
intelligibly generous with small amounts
of cash. They hardly like to take coppers
when they are entitled to them. There is
no very obvious reason why either Of these
lines of conduct should be pronounced the
better, for the continental may be saving
for a good purpose, and the Englishman or
American may be only careless and lazy.
And we are inclined to fancy that either
may be right The true point as to the
morality of "nearness, when 1t does not
involve neglect Of duty or any oppression,
is its effect on character, and that need
not be always the same. The habit of self
sacrifice is probably strengthened In a
Frenchman or German or italian, with
whom the family is the unit, by persistent
and minute economy, while the same
practice makes ali Englishman or Amer
lean selfish and unjust.-London Specta-

NO MYSTERY AT ALL.
In Fact, the Gold Fish did Spill the

If you put gold fish in vessel filed to the
brim with water, why won't the water overfowi
This question was once discussed at length by

man made the experiment. He found, of course,
that the fish, like any other body displaced its
weight in water. Thus we see the danger Of

James G. Collin Of Syracuse, N. Y, suffered
agonies with indigestion and lost flesh fast. Read

In less than month, while using PasSolI, Mr..

Nothing Strange.

Intelligent people, who realize the i'm
portant part the blood holds in keeping
the body in normal condition, find no.
thing strange in the number of diseases
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is able to cure.
So many troubles result from impure
blood that the hest way to treat them is
through the blood, and it is far better to
use only harmless vegetable compounds
than to dose to excess with quinine, Gallo
mel and other drugs. By treating the
blood with Hoods Sarsaparilla, scrofula,
salt rheum and what are commonly
"humors:" dyspepsia, catarrh, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, C assumption and other
troubles that originate in impurities of
the blood or impaired circulation, can all
be cured.

The usaual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify.
Proper local treatment is positively nee
essary to success, but many, if not most,
of the remedies in general use afford but
temporary relief. A cure certainly can
not be expected from snuffs, powders,
douches and washes. Ely's Cream Balm,
which is so highly commended, is a
remedy which combines the important
requisites or quick action, specific cura-
tive power, with perfect safety and pleas
antness to the patient. The druggists

eravedigsorg Want an Eight-Hour Day

From the Westminster Budget.
The gravediggers are the latest trade
to claim an eisht-hour day They COM
plain that the hours of work at Wiles-
den are no less than thirteen. We do not
know how long 1t takes to dig grave,
but thirteen hours a day seems TO point
to an alarming mortality. In this case
at all events the public will desire to
see the hours of labor shortened as much
as possble-preferably by the dimunition
in the demand for graves rather than by
the increase in the supply of gravedig
gers. Moreover, the occupation, as
Shakespeare shows us in Hamlet, should
be carried on in a leisurely and philoso-
phical spirit, and this is impossible if the
graVedigger is overworked. 1t viii add
