THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The recommendations of the Presi-
dent concerning the National Guard
follows the line of expression by the
Secretary Of War. Both say that the
organized militia is well drilled, pat
riotic and devoting it's time and means
freely for the public good; but it is i'll
equipped, so poorly indeed in the mat
ter of arms that in case of necessity
for a call it would not be answered by
a force that would be of much service.
The advice is therefore that proper
arms be issued at once.
Washington was far seeing and wise
when he told the people that in a Well
disciplined and equipped militia there
resides one Of the chief safeguards of
American freedom The militia is not
an aggressive force. 1t is of the peo-
pie: II is their reserve police force, so
to speak. It renders large standing
army unnecessary; 1t conserves the

Mans View
OF Marriage.
"S MARRIAGE A
FAILURE ?"

1t is not uncommon for men to bewail the
fact that marriage SO seldom means a real
companionship that man and wife are
separated by difference of taste, of mental
outlook, of general interest in life. 1t is
perhaps even more common to hear women
blamed for what is called breach ofcontract
in the marriage relation. IF the wife be
delicate, rundown, nervous and irritable,
If her smile and her spirits have taken
flight, 1t worries her husband as well as
herself. Even worse symptoms may fol-
low-the woman suffers from sleeplessness
and fainting spells, her head is in a whirl,
her back aches, and she has that awful
crowding down feeling in the abdomen. 1t
depends on the woman whether she will
permit tbese troubles to continue day by
day leading to a life of misery.
Thousands have been cured by taking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and why not
your A healthy woman is always interest
ing she passes for a beauty because she is
happy, and her good spirits are contagious.
Good nature goes with health irritability
and peevishness with sickness.
Those who suffer from the arrangements

One Of the newly elected Assembly
men from the south end of the State
is out in an announcement that he Is
grateful to his friends for the honor
conferred, but since he is beset with
applications for positions in the Capitol
for sixty days, he wishes it to be un-
derStood that he prefers that all who
labored for his election should find their
reward in good legislation rather than
In dispense ton of useless patronage at
the expense of the taxpayers. This
pronunciamento from the south has
fairly taken the breath out of the lungs
of old timers, and the attache lobby is
standing in open -mouthed wonder at
the audacity of this callow legislator.
Older members smile grinnly and count
on their fingers the number Of days
of session it will take to bring this
bucking bronco Of the south to taking
his oats out Of the public crib with
Really. We honor the new member and
admire his courage, and likewise we
pray that his example may infect all
the others. But we confess to little ex-
pectation that such will be the result
Of his herois1n. 1t is possible, however,
for the reform to which the new mem
Der looks forward to be accomplished
at the approaching session. 1t must
come about some time, and what better
year for 1t than 1897?

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

emblyman w. S. Melick, from the
Seventieth District, has taken up the
matter Of extravagent legislative ex
penditureS for service in the two
houses. The matter was agitated by
the Record Union" a year ago this
month and was then fully explored, and
within week we renewed exposure Of
the shameless outlay of money to re-
ward petty political servitors.
When the Record Union" made its
exposures last year the press of the
State without an adverse voice COM
mended the position taken, and copied
the statements from our columns wide
ly. The time is now at hand when we
will be able to ascertain how much
there is in preaching that will give re-
suits in practice. The press has daily
called to the attention of members of
the Legislature the facts. One of their
number has made to all others a per-
sonal appeal, asking their aid in crush
ing out a shameless evil, namely, the
literal throwing away Of nearly $780,
600 every legislative session for useless
and encumbering attaches.
Every one of these members was
elected upon a platform demanding
economic practices in all departments
of the Government, not mean and mig
gard policies, but reasonable economy,
which means refusal to throw away the
money of the people.
Assemblyman Melick in his paper, the
Antelope Valley Gazette" following up
the statements Of the Record Union,' -
has been making some comparisons,
and these we restate in more compact
form, with additions. They carry upon
their face their own best argument in
support of the demand that the folly
and all but criminal recklessness of the
two houses shall cease. The facts COL
lected result in these showings:

which made Thus discomfort will be
unknown where this rule is followed.
The furniture should be strong and
substantial and never frail and wearing
the warning handle me with care; I
am liable to collapse" Dovetails ought
to take the place of nails and the glue
pot in really economic furniture, says
our critic, which is another way of say
ing that the well-made piece is the
cheaper and the better always. Yet
cheap furniture may be well made, that
tasteful and at the same time strong
and lasting.
Carvings and elaborate corners and
angles in furniture that Is to be han
died should be avoided, for they invari-
ably take early harm and add discom-
fort to their handling. Sometimes,
says the artistic critic, we see side
boards so elaborately carved and orna-
mented and encrusted with added
work that one hardly dares to touch
them, and finds the grain of the origi-
nal wood almost hidden. In contrast,
he points out the beauty, strength and
inviting character and good taste of the
plain, unaffected and substantial side
board, the beauty of which resides in its
lures Of the wood employed. If there is
any carving, he adds, it should be out
of the way where it can do no harm
to any one, and let us add, of charac-
quire the least time in keeping it clean.
1t is a we'll put sentence, this, which
reads Furniture should not only ad
init of easy handling, but it should look
as if it admitted of it,
AS for ornalnentation, if one is in
clined to that, the bringing out of nat
ura1 features Of the wood is one order,
the finishing of it so that it is inviting
TO the touch and tempts one to feel of
it. Beyond this the wood that lends
itself to its own nature in shaping and
fitting to use, is in itself ornamental.
If more is wanted inlaid work and mar
Quetry are better than carving, provid-
ing ornaments and complex holdings,
and they are therefore superior to any
kind of carving.
There is some beautiful painted fur
niture. That in soft woods that needs
to be overlaid is of this order. But
here, as in all other cases, over orna-
mentation is to be guarded against
rigidly and constantly. Generally it Is
to be said that there is distinct treat
ment for nearly every kind Of wood
entering into furniture. What in one
will be graceful and inviting, in another
will be heavy and uncomfortable. All
that applies to the wood Of furniture
applies to upholstery also. It must, to
be in good TASTE be inviting, contorta-
BILE and not overdone.
