ments were practically concluded by
the government last night for the

(From he Boston Journal)
On thee, sweet land, our faith Is staid
Thy annals breathe exalted fame;
or true heroic stuff were made
Thy Fathers, who adorned thy name;
Nor shall their children now be less
The servitors of human needs
Nor lack in love- nor fail to bless
Thy cause in ready faithfulness
To call self-forgotten deeds.

A Story of Justice MauIe.

1t has, We are told, been finally de-
cided by science that the changes of
the moon does not seriously affect the
weather. This is sad, because it de-
stroys Cne of the few subjects one has
to talk about in the country. The al
manac was always to be depended on
as n topic in this connection Next
week there will be a change from this
horrible wet; there is a new moon"
1t would make no difference, we are
now informed, though it should be a
blue moon. Justice Maule was always
of this opinion. 1 remember his going
circuit with Judge Coleridge in a part
of the country where a friend of mine
happened to be High Sheriff He
was shy and modest man, and very
much alarmed at having to entertain
his cynical lordShip. Coming home in
his coach with the two Judges, he
thought it his duty to make conversa-
ton for them. He observed that he
hoped there would be better weather.
as the moon had changed. "Are you
such fool, Mr.. Jones, as to imagine
that the moon has any effect on the
weather." said Maule. Really. Broth

politeness itself, you are very hard
upon our friend For my part. l think
the m5on has considerable effect upon
it" ''Then," said Maule, you are as

of plain brown paper. Each gentleman
invites lady to cut a goose with hln,
and in turn these couples are seated
back to back in two chairs in the CEN
ter of the room. When the MODEL
goose has been studied, the pair are
blindfolded, and proceed to evolve with
their scissors and sheet of paper copies
of the fowl. Having finished, each pa
per is duly signed by it's creator and
laid aside. Great merriment is always
aroused by the process of cutting, as
the pair work in full view of the rest
of the company. When finished, all
the results are laid out on the parlor
floor, names down, and two judges, who
have not been present at the cutting,
pass upon the merits Of the geese sub
mitted, and prizes reward the workers
according to their merits.

Although one sees in the shops where
fashionable clothing for children is sold,
coats and jackets for little boys made
very much on the models Of those of
their fathers, many mothers still cling
to the easy and always stylish sailor
suits with their natural accompani-
ments, REFERS, as top coats. Child
hood for the little boys has been so re-
stricted in the growing practice of eli
minating kits altogether and jumping
from baby dresses to trousers, that
mothers resent this new infringement.
A smartly dressed boy retains his SIM
pie blouse suit Of blue flannel and serge
until the age of twelve years at least.
A useful suggestion, While on this sub
ject, relates to the winter wear of
these suits Where the shield buttons
into the blouse, there is often gap
which in cold weather is not desirable.
One may obviate this by making a
skeleton waist of siIesia upon whose
front is stitched the flannel shield. This
offers good foundation for the button
ing on of the blouse, and is a thorough
protection to the boys chest and lungs.

The President of the New York
Health Protective Association says:
1--WE have one hundred and twenty five
members on our list Our meetings are
usually attended by about twenty
faithful ones, and our fighting band
counts not more than seven.'' This
proportion is true of many organiza-
tions, and illustrates the power that the
cloak of an organization gives to even
very few earnest persons.
College boys and girls are decorating
their rooms with Gibson pictures, a
fashion which has rather superseded
the poster fad. To vary the monotony
of the oblong sheets upon which, as a
rule, the pictures are presented, some
original and artistic genius tried the
experiment Of burning the edges. The
paper is lighted with a match, care be-
ing taken to keep a very small flame.
This is blown carefully around the pic
ture in uneven lines. When finished,
the effect is exceedingly good. The
slender thread of shaded brown which
remains after the flame has gone out
is useful in bringing out the picture;
and the irregular shapes of dozens of
such pictures tackled on a wall can be
made very effective if a little care is
taken in their arrangement.

VAN WICK UP.

The unexpected has happened at SYRIA
cuse. Mayor Van Wyck was not nomi-
mated for Governor. but his brother Judge
Nan Wyck, OF Brooklyn, was.
The Judge was the dark horse Of the
convention. Few knew that he was to
be trot1ed out; but we are disposed to
regard him as a much more able and pop
nlar man than his brother the testy
Mayor. Now 1t remains to be seen what
legree of acceptance the Syracuse plat
form will meet at the hands Of the stall
wart Democrats of the Empire State. The
synopsis of it that we have seen excites
Dur fears. 10 say the least, as to the wis
dom OF 1t!
So tho fight is to be between Roosevelt
md Van Wyck, and the odds are in favor
pf the former, we presume. For six or
seven years past the Republicans have
been having pretty much their own way
in the State of New York. They have
been united while we have been divided.
They have played their cards well, while
the Democrats have played theirs misera-
bly,. Yet in the face of the record Of re-
rent years, and Notwithstanding the un-
doubted popularity Of Colonel Roosevelt.
Van wyck may possibly prove to be a
winner.
The Raines law has weakened the Re-
publioans. And though Roosevelt enters
the campaign as a conquering hero. the
exposure of his tax lodging cannot but
nture him. lie may or may not be eligi-
BILE to the gubernatorial office--that is
Tor the courts 10 decide-but that he is
, tax-dodger cannot be gainsaid! And If
ne are TO believe that he is a resident"
Of the State of New York at this time, we
are compelled 10 look upon his own aft
davit as a falsehood.
That affidavit, together with his chang
Ing of his residence from oyster Bay TO
New York and from New York to Wash
ington, has certainly produced a bad i'm
preston. However, this much we may
say-that the Colonel is sorry he "swore
or his taxes, and he never would have
done it II he had expected Tom Platt to
invite him Ca civil-service reformeD to
become the nominee Of his party.

Colonel Roosevelt has long posed as

no had been plain old machine poll
fish" we should not have been so much
surprised, or had our feelings so greatly
hurt AS II Is, we know not where, in
the Republican ranks, to look for another
exemplar Of all political graces and civic
done to evade the payment OF his per-
sonal property taxes is right. all other
sorts OF tax-dodglng should be legalized.
