Scolding.

Scolding is mostly habit 1t is Of
ten the result of nervousness and an
irritable condition of both mind and
body. A person is tried or annoyed at
some trivial cause and forthwith COM
mences finding fault with everything
and everybody within reach. Scolding
is habit very easily formed. 1t is as
tonishing how soon one becomes addict
ed to it and confirmed in it. 1t is an
unreasoning and unreasonable habit
Persons who once get into the way of
scolding always find something to scold
about. If there is nothing else, they
begin scolding at the mere absence of
anything to scold at. 1t is an extreme
ly disagreeable habit. 1t is contagious.
Once introduced into a family, it is
pretty certain in a short time to affect
all the members. Exchange.

Under the YTrcpg Flar.

The following amusing story is told
of the late DR.. Wilkinson, formerly re-
corder of Hartlepool: He was an en-
thusiastic advocate of the first great re-
form bill. One day, walking out in the
street with an equally jealous friend, a
highly respectable gentleman like him
self, he saw approaching great pro-
cession headed by band and a ban
ner. The latter, as it streamed in the
breeze, was seen 10 bear an inscription.
This could not be quite made out, but
the word reform was conspicuous in the
midst of it. This was quite enough for
DR.. Wilkinson and his friend. Without
q moments hesitation they Joined the
throng and marched proudly along
with the rest. But presently the
wind dropped little, and the legend
on the banner bcame fully legible.
Great was the horror of DR.. Wilkinson
and his companion to find that the pro-
cession they had SO eagerly Joined, and
in which they had proved such promi-
nent figures, was one of Reformed
Drunkards. London Figaro.

THE PosvoFFIon BILL.


1t Provides for the Appropriation of

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The report OF
the committee on postoffices, submitted
to the house, with postofice appropria-
tion bill, shows that the bill carries a
total appropriation of $87, ,470, 500, or
about 81, 100000 less than the depart
ment estimates, and like amount more
than the appropriation for the current
year. The estimate of the postal rev
enue for the fiscal year '9b is $S4, 427 ,748.
The bill cuts the estimates $17, ,250, 900
for compensation OF postmasters to $i6,-
100000; for clerks' salaries the full
SO, zoo, 900 asked is appropriated; for the
compensation OF railroads the amount is
cut from $26 800 600 to $25, SOC, 900.
A saving of $967 1928 has been made by
cutting off the following ocean mail con-
tract routes: Galveston to La Guayara;
San Francisco to Panama; New York to
Antwerp; New York to Buenos Ayres;
New York to Rio de Janeiro.
Dissenting views were reported by
Kyle Of Mississippi and Loud of Cali
iornia, from the recommendation to ap-
propriate $196. GA for special mail facili-
ties on the trunk lines. They argue
that the principle which allows the
government to discriminate in favor OF
individual enterprises. Is unjust and
demoralizing to the system: that Post
MASTER General Bissell does not recon-
mend it's continuance, but shows in his
report that railroads which were previ-
ously beneiciaries of the fund and not
now receiving it, are rendering as good
service as before. They assert that no
postmaster-general ever recommended
an appropriation of that character, and
cite Postmastera- General Dickinson and
