In many Scotch families the old man.
ervant is a permanent institution. He
enters the service Of a family when he
is a boy, sticks to his place and re-
signs only when the inirmities Of age
are upon him. Naturally he grows in
time to claim as rights what were at
first granted him as favors and If he
is opposed asserts himself with a spirit
of independence. An English paper
tells a story illustrative Of this.
A lady's coachman, a crusty old fel-
low, who had been in the service Of
the family in her fathers time, gave
her great trouble and annoyance on
several occasions by not carrying out
her Instructions At length his conduct
became un~bearable, and she d ,termin-
ed to dismiss him. Calling Linn Tito
her presence, she said with as much
asperity as she could command:
81 cannot stand this any longer, John.
You must look out for another situa-
ton. You will leave my service at the
end Of the month"
The old servant looked at her in
amusement for a minute, and then the
characteristic loyalty" came to the
surface.
ma, ma, my lady," he said II drove
you to the kirk to be baptized, l drove
you to your marriage, and I'll stay to
drive you to your funeral"

NESTING WOOD DUCKS.
The Courtshfp Period Is Followed
by a Very Prosaic Married Life.

When a pair of wood ducks find
water and a hollow tree to suit, little
time is lost in preparing the nest. This
task and the covering of the eggs are
performed by the female, for, to the
best Of my knowledge, the male does
little more han sit around on handy
limbs and look pretty. During the
period of nest building and while the
duck is laying he is the beau ideal of a
handsome and loving cavalier, eyer at
tentive and seemingly most anxious as
to her whereabouts should she happen
to get out of his sight. But with the
waning of the honeymoon he seems to
feel rather bored with the whole bust
ness, and gradually he gets clubby-i-
e., wanders from his own fireside and
hunts up another drake or two to help
him loaf away the summer. The busy
little duck keeps her W counsel and
"sits tight on the dozen or more highly
polished ~ivorylike eggs crowded to-
-gether in a bed of soft decayed wood
and down from her breast.
Quite frequently the nest is at the
bottom Of a hollow several feet deep,
and no doubt the strong, hooked claws
Of the wood duck are a special pro-
vision for the oft repeated climbing out
of the hollow.-Edwyn Sandys in Out

To Prevent Cousumptives Marrying.

A bill to prevent the marriage of
consumptives is now being prepared,
aud it will probably be presented be-
fore the Indiana legislature next
month. The author of the bill is not
vet ready to make any announcement
concerning it or even let his name
be known. He is, however, consulting
with physicians and gathering Stats
tics. Last month over eighty mothers
died of consumption in Indiana, leav-
ing over $50 mother ess children. The
death of fathers was hardly as large.
The number of children who died OF
the disease was large. ~

PLYMOUTH.

PLYMOUTH, Iad. =
DEAR SIR: In making pastoral Wis.,
its, Of course, you do not consider
your pleasure or comfort or ease; you
60 to where your people live. But
you have two sets of feelings in going
about-can't help tive all have.
But you especially have; for a part of
yonr business is sympathy. Well
kept lawns and well titled fields, nice
homes and nice people. are cheerful to
you, as they are to everyone. Tum-
BILE down buildings, poor fences, men
harrassed by burdens too heavy for
them, over-worked women, and dirty
faced children, you may be strong to
get on with; but you would be more
than human to find inspiration in
misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of peo-
pie; n paints, and the other don't.
Or, perphaps, the thrifty paint well;
the unthrifty paint i'll.
To paint well IS to keep paint
sound. There are two ways TO do it;
one is bound to paint often; the other
to use good paint.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as to paint lead and oil; for De-
voc last twice as long and costs no
more-indeed it costs less, but not
much less.
The thrifty and comfortable have
the art OF using money more wisely.
How lucky they are! how happy.

denial of the dearest right of citizen
ship to half the voters
The inevitable tendency of govern
ment, local or general, under such
conditions is downward. The condi-
tions are utterly bad, fact to which
this city ought to awaken and set
itself about reforming. The first step
is to dissolve the political union for
local administration. And whether
this is done or ot--particularly il 1T
is not-caucus reform ought to be in
stituted. One thousand men, meeting
at the time and under the circum-
stances of Tuesday nights caucus, is
body so unwieldy as to be incompe-
tent to perform its duties soberly and
in order, in a'spirit true to the idea
of popular government. The caucus
ought to be delegate convention,
large enough to be adequately repre-
sentative, the delegates chosen by the
wards. Such body, meeting at a
seasonable hour, could undertake the
business of nominating a general tick
ct and do it's work with some approx
nation to decent regard for the
rights of the citizenship in general,
and for the institution and mainten.
ance of good government.

MUST STAY IN JAIL.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 21.-Chief
Justice Pope has refused the applica-
ton for bail of ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor James H. Tillman, who is in
Jail charged with the murder by shoot
ing of n. CT. Gonzales. 1t was the
rule of the court, the judge said, in
such cases, to make no explanations
of reasons governing the decision
Tillmah was not present, but was rep
resented by his counsel, Congressman
elect George W. Croft and p. H. Nell
son.
The affidavits by the defense tended
to show that Tillman acted in self de-
Tense, declaring that he had received
messages and information that Con
zales intended to take the defendant s
life.
In his sworn declaration, Tillman
stated that he had been repeatedly
urged and warned to watch for his
safety. He wished to avoid any alter
cation, Tillman's statement says, as
he was about to retire from the office OF
| lieutenant governor, his term expir-
| ing two days after the tragedy, Till
man was removing from his office his
personal effects, including two revoly-
ers. While carrying these up the
| STbtSb, lt luSb NtOhHbipSf Who, hS So"p
ed, pushed his hand into his pocket
Believing his life to be in danger,
Tillman hurriedly said: 81 got your
message, and fired, firing, the aft
davit declares, to save the defendant S
life.
The State presented an affidavit from
Representative Lancaster of Spartan
burg that he saw IA pistol in Tillman' s
pocket on the day preceding the shoot
ing. l.. j. Watson, of the State news
paper, swore to conversation with
Tillman last summer, in which the
latter requested him to tell Gonzales
substantially that continuance of tin
newspaper attacks would be at hi'
peril. o. ID. Black, railroad NAB

MIDNIGHT POLITICS.

The eight hour law ought, by legis-
lation, to be applied to caucuses
and elections. The continuance OF
these political proceedings, virtually
affecting the best interests of govern
ment, far into the night, like the fever
ish all night sessions Of the Legisla-
ture, is productive of many evils. 1t
E is a positive political wrong. 1t is
the practical Acknowledgement of
large number Of voters. 1t is sub
version of government by the major
ity. 1t is demoralizing every way.
1t is subjecting the suffrage to condi-
lions which render its exercise practi-
cally impossible. 1t is the feast to
which the stork invited the fox-an
entirely one sided proceeding.
The hour of closing, or suspending,
local elections ought to be the same as
in State elections; and if the State
will not mend it's irrational law re-
curing a majority vote to elect a
Representative--over which the long
drawn out contests arise-voting ought
to be confined to daylight hours, or,
at least, it ought to be adjourned at
nine O'Clock to the following day.
Thus all classes, the aged, the infirm,
the feeble in health, and those who
desire to abide in sound health, would
have an equal and reasonable chance
to vote. Late night hours, continuing
till morning sometimes, amid tobacco
smoke and the demoralizing influences
of midnight politics, are not conducive
to health OF purity of body or mind
political procedure or the exercise o
the suffrage.
Tuesdays caucus in this city, lik
it's predecessors in recent years, is al
admonition to reform, or to chang
of method, for nothing could be wors
than the prevailing method of caucu
procedure, in the ward caucus as wei
as the general caucus. The frs
change that would be reform-n
matter how lily it might work-woul
be from the union "citizens' " caucu
, to. caucuses of existing political paI
ties. citizens caucus fror
which one Thousand citizens are al
