Apollo had told the King, her father, that his
youngest daughter was loved by "snaky
monster" she persuaded herself into finding
out about it. She carried her lamp into the
room where he lay sleeping and looked upon
him. He was so beautiful, her JOY wss SO
great. she stood there looking at him until a
drop Of burning oil from her lamp fell upon his
shoulder and awoke him. He reproached her
for breaking the VOW and left her. Heart
broken. she tried to destroy herself. but the
river refused to drown her. All Nature re-
fused to do her harm, and she wandered YEARLY
seeking for her lover, who was Love. At last
she wandered into Venas's court. That beau
tifnl goddess recognized her chance for revenge
and straightway made her a slave. She sent
her to the Internal regions for certain box,
and after poor Psyche had carried it part of the
way back, her unfortunate curiosity again got
the better of her. and she opened it to see what
WAS inside. From the box came mighty scent
that overpowered her, and she fell into deep
slumber. No mortal could arouse her. Cupid,
who loved her all the while, now sought her
out, and with the point of one of his arrows
awoke her. Then he impIored the great
Jupiter for aid. 1t was granted. They mar
ried, and lived very happily in Olympus ever
afterward.
David Swing, a prominent religious thinker
of Chicago, in speaking of the wonderful in
1uence of the beauty of music, nature and art,
draws forth beautiful theory:
1t should be an argument for Immortality
the thought that kind Creator will not sep
arate the soul forever from these high pursuits
and pleasures, but will in q second world waken
man to new appreciation of the forms and
sounds that gave such pure happiness here"
He is great lover of beauty and its value
in making this world better aud happier. "All
this pageantry of beauty, from a rose to Ma
donna face, is only the picture Of moral excel
lence, and points to God and divine Christ.
The Heavens are the suggestion of great Gre
ator, while each lily contains the qualities of
a Christ"
We need all the beauty in life that is offered
Us. 1t is not to be wasted nor overlooked. The
earth is made beautiful through the seasons,
and man is made capable of seeing its beauty.
Goethe says we need to have good pictures,
good books, good music to make life beautiful.
Even the stern Napoleon, bending his energies
toward war and triumph, thought out and said:
"Of all the liberal arts music has the greatest
influence over the emotions, and is the art to
which lawmakers should give great attention"
All the sunshine of earth, the fragrance and
loveliness OF flowers, the grand harmonies and
sweet lullabies of music, the grace and beauty
of art. we must know and appreciate, we must
bring into our own lives and try to put in the
lives of others-spreading beauty. Wisdom,
wealth, friendship truth itself will be the more
beautiful for Ii.

III response 10 II request his opinion the
laws requiring that veterans be given prefer
ence over others III State and city appoint
mcnts where such veterans competent for
the duties involved. After citing the action
of various Legislatures, the Attorney General
says:
- IL viii readily c seen that there has been
a continued effort he part of the Legislature
20 prefer for appointment the veterans OF our
late war, in recognition of the services per-
formed by them and to relieve them entirely
in reriain cases from the rules and regulations
of the Civil Service law.
The only words in the statute under con-
uncertainty are: For any position employ
ment tho compensation OF which does not ex-
coed 81 a day
TO limit the meaning Of the word compen-
sat0n, so that ii would mean simply tho pay
ment of wages per diem, would. in my judy
mept, be not onl an unnatural construction OF
The language used by the Legislature. but con-
trary To an intent FRI quently expressed III our
fundamental and statute laws.
- am of The or Mon that the statute in
question applies not only TO positions where
the payment TO the pl"yee is per diem wages
hut that il also includes in its terms all vet
Grams whose compensation, when divided by
the number of working days. will not exceed
the rate of 81 per day, or, in other words, that
the Legislature did not intend to make any
distinction between suhordinates employed by
the year or mouth aud those employed by the
day."

proposed that Congress should erect statue of

United States flag This statue would be ap-
propriately placed at the southwest corner of

1t is interesting 10 note how, after some
years in Congress. the Representatives from
the South and Southwest lay aside their SLOUGH
felt hats and settle down into staid old derbys
or high hats. Two men who have still chung
to their old ways in the House are Bailey, of
Texas and Heard, of Missouri. Bailey wears
a magnificent, sweeping, black sombrero. al
most of the Mexican variety, while Heard wears
the small, round. brown, narrow-brmmed va
riety that is more frequent in the far West.
Kilgore of Texas, is another man who clings
TO his SLOUGH felt. In the Senate, Mills still
still sticks to his soft felt, but it is not as
markedly Southern as that of Bailey. Proctor.
of Vermont wears soft felt of the kind that
is popular in Northern Yankeedom. But take
the average statesman who comes to Washing.
ton, and about his second term, if not before,
he lays aside his felt for something more pre-
tentious.

registered Nongolians. There is no money
appropriated for tho purpose, and as il costs

The Dockery Department reorganization bill
is said to be now in fair shape to pass the
Senate this session, and preparations arc being
made at the Treasury Department to meet that
part of its provisions applying to it. The bill
has passed the House. aud has been favOrably
reported to the Senate as rider to the Legis-
latiye Executive, aud Judicial bill; and should
this bill not become effective by July ], the
effects of the Dockery clause will be operative
in any event Immediately on the measure
becoming law. The effect of the bill will be
to make some sweeping changes in the present
method of conducting business by Il e Treasury
Department. The abolition of several offices
will result IN the reduction of 125 clerks, for
which there now are about 100 vacancies in
the entire Department. All of the new APP
pointees holding positions as Chiefs of Di-
visions, will be transferred to vacancies in
other Bureaus now existing or 10 places created
by the removal OF Republican chiefs. 1t is
predicted that within six months there will
not be place Of mportance under the Depart
ment held by Republican except in some
very few positions where the service would
very materially suffer by the removal of per-
sons who have become invaluable by virtue Of
their long experience

SPECIAL EXAMINERS

Representative Avery Develops Some Facts.
Representative Avery, of Michigan, has been
investigating the subject of appropriations for
the employ ent of Special Examiners in the
Pension Office He has ascertained that the
appropriations recently made were. in 1890
S225, 0O0 in 1891, S225, 900; in 1892. S2l5, 900,
with resulting deficiency of $25, 600; in 1893
5000 000 and deficiency Of $500, 900; while in
1894 the Pension Office recommended an APP
preparation of 100000, aud was granted only
100000.
The S2OO.00 deficit which occurred in the
year 1893 was caused by the arbitrary employ
ment of an unusually large number of Pension
Examiners. whose duty it was to make cases
nd verse to the old soldiers, so that the suspen-
sion of pensions night be indiscrimiuate aud
exceed sly numerous.
Congressman Avery has also ascertaned that
many thousands of pending pension claims
have been referred to Special Examiners; and
whenever n claimant writes to the Pension
Office for information concerning the status OF
his case, postal card is sent to the old soldier
III forming him that his case is in the hands of
a pension examiner; but that. owing to the
very limited appropriations which have been
made by Congress. it is not likely that Il report
will be made until sometime i'll the year 1898.

nifty from suffering on account of the heat

rather eat kerosene with wick in it than
meat of any kind during the hot weather"
