PAINTED eY CONSCIENCE.
The Real Self Revealed to Us as God
Sees II.

The Real Self Revealed to Us as God
Sees It.
1t is mistake to suppose that any
man holds himself in better esteem
than others hold him. If the truth
were known concerning the hidden
mental operations Of the most conceited
wording or rock-ribbed bigot or white
washed Pharisee, 1t would be seen that
each of them knows himself as others
know him, and three times better. The
most of us show our best side to the
world and not always with the aim to
deceive. 1t is natural, not only that
we should do this, but it is required Of
us in turn that we should take men and
women for what they seem to be-
worth, in other words to be hopeful
that what they appear to be they really
are, to at least hold a man innocent I'M
til proven guilty.
We may be certain that this tolerant
attitude towards those who are really
worse than they appear will be of no
durable advantage to them. There are
days in everybody's life when he sits
alone with conscience. The world and
its undeserved blame or praise is shut
out of that silent chamber With his
truthful guest the man of rags and the
man of millions, the woman of toll and
the woman of ease, must hold weekly
il not daily and hourly communion. At
these times the picture of the real self
is thrown upon the livid background of
years. Now the false hearted or boast
full or proud will see and hear admon-
itions that would not be brooked from
preacher or friend. True character
Invested of conventional habiliaments
of conduct through which the eye of
men cannot peer, will stand bleak,
ragged and forlorn. Who of us can say
to conscience: "Paint me as am,
though the world sees and the future
sees me, let not my real self be hiddenl"

A JOB That Commonly Is Deemed an I'M
possibility.
A pair of corsets soiled is a pair of
corsets spoiled, is a common fancy of
many otherwise economic people.
When corsets are washed in boiling
soapsuds and scalded in clear boiling
water, this is true. No genuine whale.
bone or imitation of whalebone will
endure such process without being
twisted out of all semblance of shape.
The only way to wash a pair of corsets
without injuring the shape is to scrub
them. Begin by removing all the
large bones and steels. There are two
double bones on each side of the eye
lets that carry the lacing, and many
eorsets have steels at the sides as well
as in front. Remove all these. Lay
the corsets on board, and if there are
Gny broken bones, take them out.
With small, fine brush like a minia-
ture scrubbing brush, begin scrubbing
the corsets. White borax soap is the
best for this work. When the corsets
are clean, rinse them repeatedly in
clear water and dip them in light blu
dng water. Wiring out the corSetS
carefully without turning the whale
bones in the wringer. If carefully
managed the wringer does the work
more perfectly and quicker than the
hands. Dry the white corsets in the
open air. Lay them on a sunny slope
of grass in summer, where they will
dry quickly and bleach to snowy
whiteness A colored corset should be
dried quickly in the house. Press
them before they are fairly dry, and on
the wrong side. Never starch corsets,
but depend upon the bone and steels
for stiffening them. AS soon as posi-
bic replace the steels and bones. Put
lin new lacings. Do not let the corsets
lie long about without the bones and
steels, or they will get out of shape.
Some persons prefer never to press
,corsets with hot iron, but simply
bone them and put in the steels and
lacings and roll them up and put them
away in corset box till needed. They
will get out of shape if left lying about
in bureau drawer, and should always
be rolled up when not in use.-N. Y.

WHAT sALA SAID OF NIAGARA.

How He Gave His Impressions of the
Falls in a Brilliant Foot-Note.
When Sala was sojourning in the
United States, some 80 years since, the
publisher of popular magazine wait
I'd on him one day and asked if he was
willing to write him an article OF l6
pages, for which he offered very
handsome remuneration. "The sub
ject?" inquired Sala. Niagara" was
the reply. "Good heavens!" exclaimed
the English journalist, Il have been
there, but what can l possibly tell your
people about the falls that they don't
know" "You can tell us" replied the
visitor, show they impressed you. You
see, our people are never tired of hear
ing how our great sights make you
strangers sit up" Agreed" said Sala.
When his visitor had gone he sat
down to write-telling in his discursivc
fashion how he contrived to prevent
smart Yankee from monopolizing a
corner seat in the railway car, and how
he lost his portmanteau and found it
again, all of which suggested telling
little story of once what befell him
at a custom house on the GermanRus-
sian frontier, which again reminded
him of his late mother and the old
duke of Wellington. And so his facile
and diverting pen ratified on, till he
began to think it time to get to business
and, therefore, launched out into a
picturesque description of the coun-
try on both sides of the line as seen
from the windows of the carriage in
the train that was fast carrying him
toward Buffalo he destination.
At last he paused, and, taking stock
of the manuscript which now covered
his little table, found that he had with
in line or two already exhausted the
space allotted to him; yet he had not
said single word about the Falls of
Niagara. Thereupon he dipped his pen
in the ink once more and added the
words: "P. 81 ought to have men
toned that there are some very re-
markable natural waterworks in the
neighborhood."
The perpetrator of this audacious
evasion used to declare with an extra
twinkle in his better eye, that, so far
from showing resentment, the editor
and his readers were charmed with his
smartness and delighted with the Jest.

for their clearheadedness in everyday
life as for their great abilities as lit
erary leaders. n .@
Take, for instance, Ernest McGaffey,
whose volume of "Poems," recently is
sued by an eastern publishing house,
has attracted general attention. He
is young lawyer with a bright future,
man of the world, companion for
judge or preacher. His views on cur
rent topics are quoted by the press;
his knowledge of affairs political brings
to his office the leaders of parties. And
yet this same man will retire to his
study in the evening and commune with
nature with an eloquence that surprises
the critics who have repeated from year
to year that nothing of literary merit
can come out of Chicago" From be-
ginning to end McGaffey's Poems"
show inspiration and a wonderful per-
ception of the beauties of things. There
is not page which does not contain
rev idea or precious thought dressed
in new form. Opening the little vol
ume at random the other day, I became
enchanted with this gem:
Like some lone, wild creature that PAGES all
day
Back and forth behind bars in its dumb.
strong wish to be free,
So PAGES forever, all haggard and gray,
On its earth-bound shores, the mysterious
soul of the sea.
If any poet has ever clothed beauti-
full sentiment in finer garb have never
seen his works. Equally strong is
poem in another vein, entitled "The
Derelict," from which 1 quote the last
verse:
And thus a wrath, mote, a speck,
In watery solitudes
She sails, and hears the siren song
or oceans Circe-moods;
Nor neither home nor harbor bound,
Naught shall her course restrict,
While like mems souls in worlds to come
She wanders, derelict.
And what could be more charming
than this picture:
Dear friends. tho silent, the companion
trees
That whisper as pass, and scatter down
Leaf benedictions on my leaf-strewn path.
Mr.. McGaffey's versatility is almost
phenomenal. His fancy responds to the
call of the moment. His reflective, de-
scriptive and metaphysical moods find
ready expression in verse, which, while
not always perfect, is never annoying
ly hating. 1t has been stated that he
has no rivals in America but Joaquin
Miller and James Whitcomb Riley. This
is q sweeping assertion, but one which
will not be disputed few years hence.
The writer has been familiar with Mr..
McGaffey's works for eight years. He
has noted his development along va
rious lines, and feels justified in giving
the widest circulation to Chicago's faith
in poet whose productions are even
now quoted throughout the land. The
keystone of Mr.. McGaffey's success is
his modesty, which constantly reminds

him that he has yet to learn many things
and that perfection in art must be based
OF constant observation and unremit-
ting study.

which nourish mind and character, in
stead of leaving the inner field open to

foolish enough to think it does not

open. They even object to "prejudic-
ing" the minds of the young by select
ing the things they are to be taught to
know. One of Coleridge's friends once
made an objection Of this sort. The
philosopher-poet invited him to take

to where luxuriant growth of ugly
and infragrant weeds spread them
selves over beds and walks alike. "You

Whatever the critics of the east may
say, 1t ia nevertheless fact that Chi
cago has given to the world of letters
three poets whose fame is destined to
grow from day to day. They are not
magazine rhymesters who deal in mys-
FERROUS nothings, but true men who
sing of nature and life as healthy men
and women find them-and have always
found them. Neither are they long
haired freaks who pose before theworld
as prodigies. Every one of them is a
busy man of action, capable of holding
his own in the workaday struggle for
existence. AS far as the writer is con-
cerned, he honors these men as much

1t will never be popular, in the common
sense of the term, but it will live ard
become classic. From the purely
technical view point of the rhymester
many improvements might be sug-
gested, but the mystic and the philoso-
pher would deprecate such a course.
AS the title of the poem indicates, IL
deals with the discovery of America
and it's central figure, Christopher Co
lumbus. incidentally it touches the
blessings of free government and free
hought--liberty without license. One
OF the most striking passages, to my
mind, is devoted to Supreme Thought"
apostrophized as follows:
Arranger Of all life,
And mistress over strife,
She sets the stars in melody and rhyme,
And makes the periocs with each other
chime;
Pouring her hopes into the dark recesses,
Threading her way through the vagus
wilderneSSeS-
She fashions, rules, designs, and dwells
within the light,
Which is the heart of hearts, and very
sight of sight.
Mr.. Block has been accused of being
Anticipated and behind the times"
but persons whose vision is narrow
enough to make such charge cam
not be considered fair judges of poetry.
How can thought like the following
be behind the times?"
He only wins his freedom truly,
Who daily wins ii fresh and fair.
He ever rises newly
Into the regions of the purer air
Who falters not for blame nor praise
But lives in strenuous and victorious days.
And similar gems are to be found ON
almost every page of The New
World" Literary Chicago, if there 10

Block as she is of McGaffey and Banks,

names have from time to time APP
peared in capital letters at fashionable
receptions. Writing poetry is one OF
Mr.. Blocks recreations, and it is to BIO
hoped that in the future he may find
plenty of leisure hours to devote to it.
But the public must not expect too
much in this direction, as his duties az
