The English Municipal Service.

Compared with other professions in
England, the municipal service is on the
whole fairly well paid. Salaries of town
clerks range from $500 in towns of a
population of 10000 to 81, ESQ paid by
Manchester, which has population of
500, 0O0, while municipal engineers are
paid all the way up from $500 in towns
OF 20, OGO to el 200 a year paid by each
of the municipalities of Manchester,
Liverpool and Newcastle.
For these salaries the councils usually
demand all the time of their servants
A lawyer or an engineer may do better
as private practitioner, but in the
municipal service he is sure of his posi-
tion and his pay, and it will be his own
fault if he has not so organized his Office
and trained assistants that he can hold
on to his position we'll on into an old
age. Advancing years may tell against
a man fer appointment to municipal
office, but old age is seldom made the
excuse for getting rid OF town clerk or
a municipal engineer. Nest of them die
in harness, drawing full pay.
The subordinate clerkships under the
municipalities t.re not much better paid
than cle1kships in law aud mercantile
offices. The reason why these positions
are priced is that i'll such a position a
man regards himself as placed for life
and is consequently in the enjoyment of
that feeling of settlement and that alb
sence of worry as to the future which
are so dear to middle class Englishmen.
Excellent men Of their class hold these
positions. Their abilities and their re-
spectability would bring them the same
salaries elsewhere, minus only the fixity
of tenure which attaches to all grades
of the municipal service. These subor-
dinates, like their superiors in the paid
municipal service, 7ote at all elections
like other citizens. They never attempt
to conceal how they vote, but the recur-
ring elections give rise to no pleasurable
expectations or disturbing apprehensions
of any kind Oh their part. They are new
er active i'll the municipal campaigns
and would as soon expect to encounter
a highwayman i'll the town as a collect
or seeking contributions to a campaign
fund. Harper Weekly.

WHAT TO EAT.

Some Sensible Suggestions That Should
Be Posted In Every Household.
Aralstonite, writing i'll that excel
lent gastronomic journal, What to Eat,
makes few sensible suggestions in re-
gard to the diet that ought to be posted
in every household. He says that the
healthiest and purest lives come from
those'who do not eat meat before the
age of 10.
Potatoes, sliced thin ard fried, are in
digestible. While tasting delicious, they
afford no real nourishment and cause a
arrangement of the liver.
Cake clogs the stomach. All rich
pastry is poison to the liver Soft cara
mels and creams are also bad for any
one with liver at all rebeIlious.
When you get old, look out for your
food. Do you every notice that grand
fathers face is not as jolly as it used
to be? His strength of mind also seems
slowly disappearing, though he is get
ting fieshier every day. He needs a
change of food. Probably he has been
eating buckwheat cakes and strip, white
bread and butter, sugar, fat meats, etc.
Give him lean meat and fish, cracked
wheat and potatoes, barley cakes rye
bread or southern corn cakes. Try it,
and instead Of moping and sitting round
the house all day you will find him run
ming around lively as cricket.
Maybe, on the contrary, he is growing
thin and pale Then he needs buck
wheat and mOlasses, fat meats mashed
potatoes in milk, northern corn, cracked
wheat and fish, oatmeal porridge and
fruits every morning.
| All rules have their exceptions, and
the diet described for the mass may not
answer for exceptional cases, but the
| following directions are good for the
majority:
Milk is the simplest and most natural
food. If you cannot drink it, your stom-
ach is in Il diseased condition. Cheese is
good substitute, if mild, fresh and
made from pure milk and cream. Per-
sons who live mostly on vegetables have
the best nerves and the best complex
ions. Red pepper is an excellent condi-
ment. Its effect upon the liver is re-
markable. Malaria, intermittent fever
or congestive chills cannot endure the
presence Of red pepper. Pure red pepper
(known as cayenne) should be on every
table.
Ill health is caused largely by i'm
proper food or ty food which is in bad
condition when it is eaten.

HIRAM DARTS REFUSAL.
why He Did Not Marry the Charming
Widow Breese.


When old Hiram Dart was in his sew
enty-ffth year, the faithful old wife
who had been his companion for full
half century, sickened and died, and,
to the surprise and amusement Of his
rural neighbols, old Hiram set forth in
search of another wife before Hannah,
his first spouse, had been six weeks in
her grave.
He made no secret Of the fact that he
was Gin the market" and seemed sur
prised that the BIDDERS were so few. He
attributed this fact to the general lack
of taste and Judgment in the "wimmen
folks of the present day.
They're a finicky lot anyhow" said
old Hiram, can it comes O. this fool
new wimmen idee."
One day old Hiram drove by neigh
boris house all rugged up" in his Sun
day best and with a blue satin necktie
forming a marked contrast to the big
red geranium in his buttonhole. He
tarried for moment at his neighbor' S
gate and frankly confessed that he was
''goin a sparkin."
was the Widow Breese, who lived cover
Hebron way" and with whom old Hi
ram was wholly unacquainted. Some
one had, in spirit Of either malice or
mischief, made old Hiram believe that
the Widow Breese, a robust, we'll to do
woman of about 60, would be inclined
to look with favor on Hiram's suit.

an see her anyway" said Hiram, as he
drove away.
1t was nearly dark when Hiram reap
peared, far less buoyant than when he
went away. His neighbor was on the
lookout, and, hailing the old man, he
said:
"Well, Uncle Hiram, did the Widow
Breese refuse you?"
Not much she didn't " retorted Hi
ram spiritedly. Il refused her.
"You refused her? Why, what dc
you mean, Uncle Hiram?'

arel wise enough, in something that
has come to US already.
Life is full of such warnings. No
man grows to be more than a mere
boy without learning on what side of
his moral nature he will fall if he falls
at all. Every one of us knows, who is
in the least thoughtful, what sort of
villain he would be If he grew villain

save us from the things they warn us
of. These blessed bells that ring out
in the darkness may turn us res0lutely

Man is no star, but quick coal
OF mortal fire;
Who blows it not, nor doth control
A faint desire,
Lets his own ashes choke his soul.

as it does. in a paper that has always
appeared to be kindly disposed toward
this city and its people. The allusion
is especially hard to understand when
it is considered that but few days ago
the junior editor Of the Herald was
shown over the Passaic, and expressed
his admiration in no measured terms.
The statement that house is being

To stars in the skies, to flowers compare her,
When they shine or they bloom in the twi-

Did eyes ever beam with radiance rarer,
Or check ever bloom with daintier blush?
Tall, she, and slender, plant and sweet,
Graceful and gracious, she was that day,
The crown of brown hair, wee hands, slim feet
Stole all my WISDOM and hied it away.
No flashing of jewels, no gorgeous attire,
To be Knocked by beauty so perfect and pure
Yet, to climb to the stars even might aspire,
But never to her; of that am sure.

The Wayside Song,

AS walked out one April day
To list the springtime rumors,

A spinster clad in boomers.
Peaked was her chin and gray her hair.
Her face was full of dulled despair,
And in 2 voice no longer young
Shrilly this ancient song she sung:
"When the pigs begin to fly,
Oh, won t the pork be high,
FOR they re the most unlikely birds that ever
sailed the sky
When the pigs begin to fly,
Well laugh until we die
And the women, they will have their rights
When the pigs begin to fly"

A QUESTION

The publisher of newspaper has
one thing TO rent and one thing to sell.
He has the newspaper TO sell and the
space In his columns to rent. Can any,
one inform us why he should be ex-
pected to give away either the one or
the other?
He can if he chooses, and he does, as
a matter of fact, furnish a great deal
of space rent free. But it does not
follow that he ought to be expected to
do so.
1t ought to be recognized as a con-
tributiOn, exactly as would be the Civ
ing away of sugar or coffee by a
grocer. But, strange to say, it is not
looked at in that light at all, and yet
every body knows that the existence of
a newspaper depends upon the rent of
its space and the sale of the paper, as
merchants success depends on sell
ing his goods instead of giving them
away,-COpy Hook.
