A WASHINGTON despatch says that
up to this time the President has not
indicated to any person his views re-
specting the appointment Of success
sor to the lste Secretary Gresham, but
it is believed that the prospects favor
the tender Of the position of Secretary
OF State to Attorney General Olhey.
This conjecture may prove to be icor-
rect. or 1t may not. Mr.. Cleveland has
& way OF following the dictates OF his
own Judgment, regardless of the sug
gestions Of nybody, and it Is not at
oil unlikely that In this appointing emit,
as in other instances, he may treat the
country to surprise.

MEMORIAL DAYS.

AS the memorial days OF the soldiers
in Gray and Blue annually roll around
the survivors OF both sides of the late
civil war become less and less. Those
who had just reached manhood's estate
when the conflict ceased are now begin
ming to show the ravages Of time in sill
vered locks and bending forms; while
others who were then in the prime of
life have crossed over the river and
joined the throng of brave men and
patriots who have gone before. Men
and women who were children then have
now entered upon the battle Of life with
all its varying responsibilities and have
families Of their own; but as the years
go by both in the North and in the
South the beautiful custom of decorat-
ing the soldiers graves continues, others

English and American Statesmen.

One of the advantages which England
as a nation has over the United States is
the comparative ease with which public
opinion is concentrated upon the great is
sues of the day. This often makes parlia-
ment much more efficient body and more
truly democratic than congress. The rea-
son lies, in part at least, in the very small
ness of Great Britain geographically. 1t has
only one center, London, and is more ho-
mogcneous in population than this country
can ever hope to be- 1t is easier to get a
better class of representatives in England
There are many able men in congress. But
how rarely do we hear of IA congressman as
ever having made n name outside the walls
of the capitol! In England many of the
leading scholars and literary men are al
ways to be found in parliament, and, what
is more, they do not cease their literary la
bors because they are for the time being
politicians.
Gladstone has kept up his literary activ-
ity throughout his political life. Morley
and Bryce and Eoscbery and many others
are authors of distinction as well as lead
ers in politics. We hope the time will
come when our own lawmakers will many
of them be known as something more than
politician.-men of broad culture and ma
tional influence outside the limits of their
own party and beyond the walls of con-
gress.-Boston Star.

THE OBSTINATE CORK.

cushion is rapidly shot out again. There
are, however, three ways of getting the
better of this obstinate cork:
First.-Since if you blow on the cork it
is driven out again by the air which is
compressed in the bottle, try whether you
do not succeed better by adopting the OPP
posite plan-that is, by exhausting the
air BY SO doing you create partial vac
uum within the bottle. Tho moment
your mouth leaves the neck, air PUSHES in
to fill the void, and the cork. carried for
ward by the current thus produced, slides
to the bottom of the bottle.
Second.-A partial vacuum. or rarcfac
ton of the air. may be produced by warm
ing the bottle over n lamp or before Il firc
This done. the current OF cooler air from
the mouth will drive the cork into the bot
tie.
Third.--Lastly, if you have at hand a
small tube of any kind, say a strrw, a
pipe stem, or stick of macaronl, you have
only to blow through this tube pointing
it squarely at the base of the cork, which
will Immediately enter the bottle.
Whichever be the method you adopt,
take care that the bottle used is quite dry
within, and wipe it whenever you find
that the breath has produced sufficient
moisture within its neck to prevent the
cork slipping freely through the opening.

Glory All Around.

Uncle Gideon Goodwin so years ago was
one Of the Characters of the town. At
that time the Methodists used to gather at
the houses to hold their prayer meetings,
and as Gideon was a devout worshiper of
that creed he was a regular attendant. One
night this meeting was held at the house
of Harlow Harden and Gideon was there
In those days excitement ran high, and
just as the enthusiasm of the assemblage
was wrought to the highest pitch Uncle
Harden, as he was always called, arose to
his feet, and lifting up his hands shouted
III "a voice full of feryor:
Glory to Gideon!'
Hardly had the chorus of amens which
the utterancss called forth died away when
Goodwin, who thought that the praise was
meant for him and was bound to return
the compliment, jumped up and said:

How to Cover q Book.

Put the book in the center of a sheet OF
paper large enough to allow two inches
TO be turned in at the bottom and sides.
Fold the cover over the sides and crease
1t so that it will not slip. Then cut dag
onally from the top and bottom of the pa
per to points just little beyond where
the book will open. In many books this
may be determined easily by the binding
Cut straight slips from the top and bot
tom of the paper to the four corners of the
edges. Then fold the paper forming the
extension Of the sides down between the
book and the part of the paper cover which
folds over the top. This will make each
corner perfectly square.
When using cloth, it is better to fold the
corners rather than to cut them, as the
cloth is apt to fray, but they should be al
ways turned and folded so as to come out
side the book itself, between it and the
cover, says Golden Days.
