Abou Ben Adhem and the Angel.
Abou Ben Adhem Cmay his tribe in
creased
Awoke one night from deep dream
of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich, and like lily in
bloom,
An angel, writing in book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Ad-
hem bold:
And to the presence in the room he
said,
what writest thou?" The vision
rais'd it's head,
And with look made of all sweet &C
cord,
Answered, "The name of those who
love the Lord"
"And is mine one?'' said Abou. may,
not So"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more
low,
But cheerily still; and said II pray
thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow
men"
The angel wrote and vanish'd. The
next night
It came again, with great Weakening
light,
And show'd the names whom love OF
God had blessed,
And, 10! Ben Adhem's name led all
the rest.

FAVOR EIpht-Hour Day.

In recent gathering in Detroit Gov
ernor Pingree remarked that as gov
ernor "he had license (not fran
chise) to offer suggestions" His prin-
cipal suggestion was, that in view OF
present lack Of employment, caused
chiefly by the concentration of wealth
and business, that universal eight
hour working laws had become a ne
cessity. AS an employer he favored
this, and he had written the govern
ors of the various states, urging con-
sideration of the question by the legis-
latures and asking their views. Eek.

Business-Like Methods in Evidence.
Iron molders arc rejoicing in the
splendid success of their new financial
81 stem, which went INTO effsct more
than year ago. 1t is the same plan
as is now in vogue in other up-to-date
unions, in all Of which it is proving
very advantageous. Dues are paid by
the iron molders every week, and the
amount is Is cents. OF this sum 10
cents goes to maintain the national or
ganization, cents goes to the sick
benefit fund and cents is retained by
the local body. Since the adoption OF
the plan 100000 has been collected
for the sick fund, of which $6S,OOO has
been paid out in benefits. There is
held in reserve in this fund $4,000.
The balance of $1,000 has been placed
in special fund and members in good
standing for six months, who pay their
dues while working, and do not owe
more than four weeks when becom-
ing idle, have their dues paid from this
fund. In addition to the sick dement's
a death benefit of 500 is paid as well
as $50 contributed by the local IN
which the death occurs.-Eight Hour

THE FloHTINo ouRKHAa.
genasthing About the Men who Tfn Ens
landss Battles in Indie,

The Gurkhas, TO whose valor We owe
so much on the Indian frontier, are
not afraid Of death in any shape or
form, have the instinct Of instant and
unquesHoniaS obedience to orders
from superiors, and take an actual and
physical delight in fighting. It is q
popular error to suppose that they are
without caste. There are about thir.
teen different castles among them, and
several subdivision in each caste. But
when serving in British regiments and
while on campaign, GuTkhas do not
allow their caste system to interfere
with their comforts, and will eat and
drink freely With Europeans and
among themselves. They have no OBJ
lection to taking q pull at British
soldiers flask, and will share "oha-
patti" with the most mental campbell
lower. They will gladly take cigar
or tobacco from O European, but on no
account must q man of one caste smoke
in the company Of another.
All Gurkhas trace their descent from
the Raiputs, of Central India, the
Thappas and Gurungs especially claim
ing to have the bluest Hindu blood in
India running in their veins. They
have, however, intermarried for gem
erations with Monaghan women.
Gurkhas have one physical peculiar
ity. TAeir stature is below the aver
age and as they do not wear boards,
and their mUstaches, In spite Of much
care, never attain luxuriant growth,
and to casual observer Gurkha reg
iment appears to consist of boys, not
men. 1t is on record that when Lord
Roberts was marching through the
Kurram, the Pathan women and chill
dren came out to ieer at the striplings
whom he was leading, as it seemed, to
keir certain death, and they only
changed their opinion, when, largely
owing to the heroism of these same
Gurkhas, the Afghan army are driven
headtong from the Peiwar Kotal.
The colonel of distinguished regi-
ment used to tell story of Pathan
who had travelled long distance to
get glimpse of the terrible soldiers
Chat had defeated his countrymen.
When he saw the little boyish-looking
Gurkhas standing guard at the Balls
Hissar, he committed suicide "for very
shame" at least-and this is the best
part of the story-so the guard de
clared when asked to explain the
presence Of the dead body.-LondOI

Dark hair and complexion, in races
as we'll as in individuals, signify
strength. Dark-skinned races are al
ways behind the lighter hue peoples in
fine civilization, because the physical
predominates among them to the ex-

indicates marvellous physical endur-
ance.

Most Important Exemptions Will
Be in the Internal Revenue {.
Service. j..

NEW YORK, Sept. ,2l.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley has again taken
up the question of relaxing civil service
rules SO as to open more places for
political appointments. Some months
ago when the subject was under dis
cussion in congress the president had
the head of each executive department
prepare recommendations showing
which places under his department
best could be exempted from the civil
service rules.
An executive order was drawn up,
based on these recommendations,' and
it. has been on the desk of the president
untouche d ever since. Now that the
war is not occupying so much of his
attention, and as the congressional
campaign is making the pressure for
places stronger, the president is con.
s.dering the mater, and it is expected
that he will issue an order in short
time taking large number of places
from the classified civil service and
throwing them open to appointment
by the various heads of departments
and their So bordinates.
The places which will be removed
from the protection of the civil service
law are those of private secretaries and
chief clerks and confidential clerks of
heads of departments and assistant
heads of departments and all persons
classed as firemen, watchmsn and
laborers The most iml ortant exemp.
tons will be in the internal revenue
service throughout the country, where
all deputy collectors of internal revenue
and all storekeepers and gaugers who
receive less than S. per day are to be
taken from the classified service.
In the customs service the only
places now In classified service that
will be exempted are. two at New York
the counsel to the board of general
appraisers and the paymaster to the
collector of the port of New York. In
the department of justice all attorneys
and assistant attorneys and all deputy
marshals are to be taken from the
service.
In the postal service, all superinten.
dents Of branch postofices and carrier
stations, and all clerks in charge of
carrier stations, assistant cashiers, pri.
vate secretaries and stenographers to
postmasters in the larger cities. Mes.
sengers, porters, char women, janitors,
Waterman and laborers, are to be taken
from the classified service.
