A School for Walters.

In former times most things were done
by rule of thumb or after a long appren-
ticeship. Now apprenticeship is becom-
ing a thing of the past and rule Of thumb
is giving way to scientific training. In
Vienna there Is school for walters.
The first course is devoted to theoret-
ical exposition Of the art of serving at
table. When the public have sufficiently
mastered the principles of the art they
are allowed to practice on two ladies and
two gentlemen in evening dress who dine
at one table. The professor watches the
operation and sharply calls the waiter to
account if he uses an ordinary corkscrew
instead of an automatic one or carelessly
puts his finger in the soup. If he should
be without gloves ne is shown now to
iette. and so forth. There are 1900 pu-
pills in this school alone-London Chron-

CandOr Won Il Vote.

During his second successful campaign
on the Republic lean ticket for governor of
Michigan, the iate John J. Bagley spoke
one evening al Kalamazoo. He was a
good business man, but poor public
speaker. At the beginning of his re-
marks on this occasion he alluded frank
ly to his lack Of oratorIcal gifts. After
he had finished, a man pushed farword,
grasped his hand warmly, and said:
Governor, 1 have been a lifelong Dem
ocrat, but at the coming election [ shall
vote for YOU"
Thank you," replied the governor,
much gratifed. ''May / ask the particu-
lar reason for your changer"
Because you are the first speaker on
either side Of this campaign that l have
heard tell the truth You sid when you
began that you couldn't make much of a
speech, and by jinks, you can't!'-

Nobody Worries i'm Mississippi.

Bishop Thompson of Mississippi said
the other day: Il suppose there is Il
larger percentage of old men in Missis-
sippi than in any other state-at least.
it seems so to me, and | have been in a
good many. BY old l mean from so to
90 They are not decrepit old men who
hug the freside, but are quite lively old
fellows. One of them whom knew, a
man of 80, recently got little too lively.
He went out after dark without lam
tern, fell into a ditch. and was broken
up just as if he were china. l forget
how many bones were broken
GLOW do you account, bishop, for this
large proportion of old men in Missis-
sipri?' asked someone.
''Well," said the bishop. there is no
chance to become rich in Mississippi.

himself into an early grave trying to-

WHEN WAS a CHILD.

When I was child the moon to me
Through the nursery curtains seemed to be
A thing of marvel and witchery.
The slim white crescent floating high
In the lucid green of the western sky
Was a fairy boat, and the evening star,
A light On the land where the fairies are
When I was a woman the moon to me
Whose life was Il pledge OF what HE
might be-
Was a thing of promise and prophecy.
When from my window l saw it set;
In the twilight my lashes with tears were
wet;
Yet my heart sang ever because | knew
That from your window you watched it too.
And now, o my Love; the moon to me
(Who think of what was, and was not to
be-
Is a thing of heartbreak and memory.
When | see its crescent white and slim,
The empty present of life grows dim:
And its pale. young gold is the hoop of troth
That stronger than Death is, binds us both.

A story is told of an Irish lunatic who
believed himself to be the Deity. What
is known as "a woman of an inqurng
nature" visited the asylum and asked
him if he knew all things. He answered,

Fosterine Home Production.

The practical proof of the Importance
and advantages of a protective tariff
for certain agricultural industries is
often overlooked or lost sight of. The
Scientific American recently pointed
out the fact that there are now thirty
beet sugar factories in operation in the
country, and five more are in process of
construction, which will have a total
capacity of 22,5O0 tons daily. This in
dustry was started just before the
Cleveland free trade spasm seized the
country, when the total output was only
$4,000 tons for the year. This year the
Louisiana sugar cane crop amounts to
about 100000 tons. The annual con-
sumption of sugar in this country
amounts to about 100000 tons. The
beet sugar industry is adding to our ma
tional wealth and prosperity. and only
those afflicted with the free trade fan
aticism will doubt the benefits derived
from fostering home production of
everything which the farmers can sup

Poison from pineapples.

The juice of the green pineapple is ac-
credited in Java, the Philippines and
throughout the far East generally with
being a blood poison of most deadly ma
ture. 1t is said to be the substance with
which the AIalays poison their kreeses
and daggers, and to be also the finger
nair' poison formerly in use among
aborigine Javanese women almost uni-
versally. These women cultivated a nail
on each hand to long, sharp point, and
the least scratch from one of these was
certain death.--London Globe

STEP TOWARD REVISION.

The amendment of Rev. DR.. Moffatt
to the majority report of the Commit.
tee on Revision in the Presbyterian
General Assembly was adopted by
unanimous vote, which is both signi-
ficant and important Revision, how
ever, was not adopted thereby, but it
may come as natural result. The
resolution is self-explanatory and is
as follows:
"A. We recommend that commit
tee, as provided for by the Form of
Government, Chapter 20, Section 9, be
appointed by this assembly.
"B. We recommend that this COM
mittee be instructed to prepare and to
submit to the next General Assembly
for such disposition as may be judged
wise, brief statement of the reformed
faith expressed as far as possible, in
untechnical terms. The said statement
to be prepared with view to it's being
employed to give information and
better understanding of our doctrinal
beliefs, and not with a view to its
becoming a substitute for or an alter
native of our Confession of Faith.
&C. We further recommend that this
committee be instructed to prepare
amendments of Chapter 3, Chapter 10,
Section 8; Chapter 16, Section I; Chap
ter %, Section 3. and Chapter %, Sec
tion 6, of our Confession of Faith, eth
er by modification of the text or by de-
claratory statement, but so far as pos
sible by declaratory statement, so as
to more clearly express the mind of
the church with additional statements
concerning the love of God for all men,
missions and the Holy Spirit 1t be-
ing understood that the revision shall
in no way impair the integrity of the
system of doctrine set forth in our
Confession and taught by the Holy
Scripture"

The war between John R. Mclean
and Tom Johnson for control of ,..e
coming State Democratic convention
and the party machinery of Ohio has
reached the spectacular point. Sting
ing under the Knockout he received at
the hands of the State Committee
which gave Columbus instead of Cleve-
land the convention. Mayor Tom is in
yindictIve mood, and he is making
house-top proclamations that Mclean
must be deposed. In the meantime the
smooth politician of the Queen City
moves serenely on, capturing delega-
tions in the interest of his man XII
bourne for Governor and not neglect
ing to look after his own Senatorial in
terests. Johnson says that he will
get up cOntesting delegations in Ham
ilton, Montgomery and other large
counties, and throw Mclean out of the
convention without ceremony, but ev-
eryone knows that talk is very cheap.

DECORATION DAY.

May Thirtieth is the most holy day
in our national life, and each year the
sacred services attending it are coming
to be more yand more appreciated by
all loyal citizens. On Thursday cem-
eteries throughout the land were Wis
tied and the sweetest flowers of spring
time were placed on the graves of the
fallen heroes by tender. loving hands
On The thirteenth day of April. 1862,
Just one year after the fall of Fort
Sumpter, Mrs. George II. Evans, with
the wife and two daughters of Chaplain
May, of the Second Regiment, Michi-
gan Volunteers, decorated the graves
of a considerable number of soldiers
buried at Arlington Heights. Virginia.
A year later the ladies performed the
service again at the same place In
May of the year following they render
ed the same attentions to the graves of
the soldiers buried at fredericksburg
1t is to Mrs. Evans that Will Carleton
refers in his poem, Cover Them Over"
Cherish the name of that sister of
ours,
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers"
The custom originated by these lad /
les was enjoined upon the Grand Army !
by General John A, Logan its Com
mandtr in Chief, in May, 1868.
In 1874 Congress took notice of the
nations obligations to it's dead and |
made the 30th of May legal holiday. |
Mrs. Evans was born in Erie county, |
Penna., August 18th, 1S41, her maiden
name being Miss Sarah Nichols. Her
husband answered President Lincoln's |
call for $4,000 men. and for three |
months she was with him in camp |
making herslf useful to the soldiers, es-
pecially the sick. A good part of the
time the war was in progress Mrs.
Evans was in camp or on the field an
sister of mercy.
Her own husband, injured in the bat
tie of Bull Run, was twice the object of
her solicitude and care as a skilled
nurse. Mrs. Evans died in Des
Moines, Iowa, February 1st, 1884. She
was buried in Maple Grove Cemetery,
Mich, where her grave is kept
green by the comrades of the G. "A. r.
