We don't know how our esteemed DEM
ocratic friends will take Postmaster
General Bissell's recommendation tna5
the fourth-cass post offices be placed I'M
der some sort of civil service service reg
ulation, because we don't know how far
the process of turning the rascals out
and putting good men in has proceeded.
If the offices are pretty well stocked up
with Democrats now, it will not excite
any violent protest. though it will not
arouse any wild enthusiasm, for the
Democrats are little shy of civil ser
vice reform, even when it seems to be
bearing gifts for themselves. Our i'm
preston is that SO far as Maine is con-
cerned, the fourth-clas post offices have
been pretty well looted ON behalf OF the
hungry and thirsty, and that civil SER
vice reform applied to them now would
have the effect or making permanent
the tenures of a great many Demo-
Gratis and very few Republicans. Fer
haps Postmaster General Bisseil~ has the
same impression, and that may be one
reason for the anxiety to have something
done at this time. AS an abstract prop
osition, there can be no doubt that Mr..
Bissell ia right. Fourth-class postmas-
tiers have nothing to do with the policy
of the administration, and it is as absurd
to make clean sweep of these officers
at every change of administration, as it
would be to turn out all the messengers
and freight handlers in an express office
simply because new set of proprietors
had taken charge, and some time the
practice will be stopped. 1t is hardly
fair, however, to fill these offices largely
with the adherents Of one party and
then declare that their tenure shall be
D ornament; and out of this grows the
chief difficulty with Postmaster Bis
clips recommendation.

player in one of the scrimmages to
strike another without detection on the
part of the umpire, and unless the play
er struck is willing to testify the
offenders cannot be convicted. But it
appears to be matter to pride or honor
for the injured player TO keep as still as
possible in regard to his wounds and
under no circumstances to attribute
them to unfair play lest he may be ac-
cused of crying baby" In the Har-
vard-Yale contest no player made any
charge Of slugging, though it was per-
fectly evident that some of Yale's men
began at the very start to slug. with
the intention of disabling Harvard's

Senator Butler is trying to keep I'LL

claim that the election laws under

unconstitutional. AS the South Carolina

any relief from that quarter IL is GER
tainly very edifying spectacle to find

Leather Like Velvet.

The manufacture of leather is reach
ing what must be almost the highest
perfection of the art. A new process
has recently been patented in France for
the production Of leather which both
to the touch and eye has striking re-
semblance to velvet. Leathers Of this
description hitherto manufactured have
been obtained by treatment of the flesh
side of the hide or skin. The flesh side
of the skin being always coarse, the
patentees claim now to secure better
results by treating the hair side. They
scratch or rub the hair side with rub
ber of strong erosive qualities, or with
emery or glass, when working small
surfaces, and use grindstone for heav-
ier work. In this manner downy nap
is brought out which they throw and
lay in different directions, thereby
bringing out varied designs of changing
hue and appearance. The velvety sur
face produced is said to be similar to the
down of peach skin. The fiber is very
fine, soft to the touch and has all the
appearance of silk velvet shorn very
close. and Leather Gazette.

The Tallest of All Amin ais.

There are a few groups of living
large mammals whose existing members
appear never to have been surpassed in
size by their fossil relatives. Foremost
among these are the whales, which now
appear to include the largest members
of the order which have ever existed.
The so called white, or square mouthed,
rhinoceros of South Africa seems also
to be fully equal in size to any Of its
extinct ancestors, and the same is cer-
tainly true of the giraffe, which may
even exceed all its predecessors in this
respect. Whether the fossil giraffes were
or were not the equals in height Of the
largest individuals of the living species,
there is no question but that the latter

this respect among the extinct forms by
its aforesaid ancestors. Moreover, if
we exclude creatures like some of the

by sitting on their hind legs in kan
garoolike manner, and limit our COM

 Ifone were to ask all the nervous, fretted, jaded, tagged out women who work day after day, hardly able to keep on their feet -if a ptrson were to ask them what their trouble was, one would say dysreps a, an- other nervous prostration, another female weakness, and so on. The fact is, however, that they nearly all have the same disease, and that disease IS chronic catarrh. Thousands of people have chronic catarrh and do not know 1t. They realize that they are sick, but they do not suspect that their disease Is chronic cAtarrh. If they have eatarrh of the stomach they call it dyspepsia; ii they have general catarrhal debility, they call it nervous prostratlon; II they have catarrh of the liver or kidneys, they say they are bilious or have kidney. dis ease; and if they have catarrh of the pelvic organs, they name it female weakness. The truth Is, all these organs are sub ject to catarrh, and the land is full of toiIing men and women, helf ln- yalids, who have chronic catarrh in some stage or form of some of these organs. It is only when the catarrh happens to be located in the head that It IS recognized as catarrb, while catarrh of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver and pelvic organs Is very likely 10 be mistaken tor some other disease.
 To say that Pe-ru-na cures catarrh, wherever located, is not only to state fact, but it is the statement or very inn portant fact. There is no doubt whatever that Pe-ru-na would save every one of the vast multitudes of women, and men also, who have become miserable rom chronic catarrh of some internal organ or organs. Pe-ru-na strikes at the source, removes the cause, cleanses the fount, rids the system of the contaminating influences of chronic catarrh, and thus make perma- nent cures.

 The all absorbing topic of interest this week in Jewish circles has been the merg- iug of the auxiliary into the Baron Hirsch Sisterhood.
