THOROUGH REFORM.

Under the caption The Worse
Things Become The Longer They VIII
STAY Bad" the Century magazine edi-
tCrialIy discusses public corruption
and concludes that there is need. ct
the present crisis il. our history, OF an
ethical revival, both inside ana cut
sic the churches 1t believes that
this revival lis needed at once, and
not merely in certain cities and com
mOnvealths, where political corruption
has been advertised OF late BY efforts
to overcome the evil, but throughout
the natiCI."
Ignorant as tne tough may be, he
puts a real value on influence and Of
fceEOlding He never fails to go to
the polls and neverifalters in devotion
&c his boss" He is out betfmes when
there is work to do, having left his
conscience in the garnet Or cellar, and
hustles from the first whisper Of a
campaign until the last election re-
turns are computed. He delivers
the goods" and that would be impOs-
sible if he and his band were dor
mant.
The churchgoer, the head Of the
family the business man and the up
right citizen generally lack the enthu-
siasm displayed by the tough" The
later has private Interests at stake;
politics is part of his business. The
former puts all confidence in. his
neighbour and. thinking his vote is
not needed, goes to his office or his
shop and lets the election machinery
grind out a large vote for the gang.
Redemption follows every great re-
vival but it is usually temporary only.
The upright citizens then make war
on the tough and make actual pro
fessi0n Of faith at the polls. At the
next election they neglect to confirm
their former profession, and they
find either the Old gang or new
Gang intrenched in office and the old
methods again in full swing.
The revival urged would be timely
and productive Of good The princi-
pal point, however, is that the good
CITIZEN should be impressed with his
civic duty; that he should be taught
to put public interest before personal
convenience. Permanent good gov
eminent will become a reality if the
head Of the family" will olways be
active at elections and show concern
IN public business. It is one thing
to desire good government and an
ether thing to vote. Voting is the
more effective.

base of the falls. with the water pour

ground is a stretch of tossing water
into which the heroine descends in a
seemingly awful fall, and is rescued
by the hero.
The house quivers with the mechan-

1t is TumOTad that TWO OF the county
commissioners have decided TO aban-
don the proposed building Of a costly
county poor house, owing to the al
most unanimous public sentiment
against the proposition. It is to Dt
hoped that this report is true.
AS for the political bearing Of the
poor house project, it would unques-
tionably be better for the democrats
in this county il the republican board
of commissioners would go ahead with
the waste Of the public funds in the
building of a poor house at a cost of
probably not less than twenty thou
sand dollars. as the extra tax Of two
or three mills resulting would cause
a revolt in the republican ranks that
would give the opposition most of the
county Offices. However, the States
man has placed the good Of the public
above the success Of it's party and has
demonstrated the folly Of the poor
house proposition so COncldsiyely that
even the republican machine leaders
and the machine organ have Joined in
urging the commissioners to abandon
The project because it would endang
er their party's supremacy in this
county next year.

MASTER STROKE.

When Senator Beverage Of Indiana
recently gave utterance to his pro
found conviction that the COsmic les
sons Of nature should be the deca-
logue Of national Twins and doing" he
seems 10 have achieved a renOwn cal
culated to send MS name laundering
down the corridors Of fame,
This is because his DeIphic phrase
puzzle instantly set the American
press ag0g with comment. It is OF
such a mysterious nature that the
controversy as to its significance can
never be terminated in a satisfac-
tory and convincing manner. The
Philadelphia Public Ledger, evidently
suspecting the presence Of some dread
evil in such a sentiment and being
unable TO solve the cryptogram, an

that these are the Wisest words
from Senator Beveridge thus for re

inability 10 profit from their wisdom
by inquiring, Can any one tell what
he means?" The Detroit Fress Press
tries to conceal its ignorance by
iaunty assumption Of an intimate IN
Outstanding Of the Indiana senator's
alleged thought and. after pOking a
bit OF fun at him, declares that ''it will
finally come to the realization Of the
fact that if YOU don't know Beverage
lou '0n't know anything" And so
the strange speech is making its cir
cult of a wondering hemisphere.
The dominant fact in the case
would seem to be that Senator Bav-
emdge has clinched his hold on the
republican vice presidential nomina-
ton by furnishing an unanswerable
weapon for effective use before the
delegates assembled in the republi-
can national convention Of 1904. l.
will be remembered that the cOnven-

The wrath died. He was pow erless. He could not brook the might of the republic that claimed his child upon the altar of it's ambition, but he could save her needless pain.
 Already the surge of feet was com ing up the long passage. The fanfare of trumpets and the voice of Venice. that was many voices, clamored for of the doge awaited her. Nevermore his child, but always the daughter of Venice.
 There was an instant when the gold en head lay against the steel corselet. another when Guido Cornaro saw his child give her lips to the Morosini and then he flung wide the door to the se- cret passage and motioned to Andrea.
 And so without a word he passed from her sight and her life. while Ter father led her down the rose garlanded stairway to the bitterness of the gilded mockery that awaited.
 There was battle next day, mere slzirmish between Venetian war gal ley and one of Genoa. At its close they found him lying where the thick of the fight had passed, a smile on his lips, crushed white rose above his heart. In Venice the people laughed and sang, and there was joy day and night for the week long bridal of Cate rina Cornaro, the daughter of Venice. and King James de Lusignan.

She Kent Her Word.

A funny story is told concerning Catherine of Berain. a Welsh woman, who was known as the mother of Wales. because she founded so many families. "She was first married to John Salisbury of Lleweni and be- came the mother of Sir John Salus- bury, who was born with two thumbs to each hand and was noted for his prodiglous strength. At the funeral of her husband. Sir Richard Clough gave her his arm. Outside the church yard stood Maurice Wynn of Gwydir awaiting decent opportunity of pro- posing to her. As she issued from the gate he did this. Very sorry replied Catherine. but I have just accepted Sir Richard Clough. Should I survive him, will marry you She was as good as her word and married yet q fourth before she died in 1591."

Turf @M Fuel.

Harold Harfagr in the year 88S granted the islands of Orkney to Earl Eyner, brother to Duke Rollo of Nor mandy. When Earl Eyner came to live in his new possessions he found them quite bare of any trees and producing only very few stunted bushes.
 The Orkneys are bitterly cold and wind swept, so when the inhabitants had used up all the wood they could procure they came to their new earl for advice. He recommended them to cut out pieces of turf, dry them and use them for fuel. This they did with such great success that the custom spread to Scotland and thence to Ire land and to many parts of England. Earl Eyner was always known after ward as Turf Eyner.
 "Peat rights" were defined by march stones with three whelks laid under each and were jealously guarded by the townships or individuals to whom they belonged. Throughout Scotland up to the thirteenth century peat and bogwood were universally used fol winter fires and broom and whin dur ing summer.
 Some etymologists regard the name of peat as almost Synonymous with fuel, deriving it from the early English ''beten,' to replenish a fire.

British Museum Lott.ry.

The British museum was begun with $5OO,OOO raised by q lottery scheme. Of that lottery, authorized In 1753. the archbishop of Canterbury, the lord chancellor and the speaker of the house of commons were the managers and trustees. Ths amount was $1 1.5OO, ,OOO. raised by fifteen dollar tickets. to pro- vide $1,0OO.OOO for prizes and $5OOOOO for the purchase of the Sloane collec- tions and the Harleian library and for cases, house room and attendants.
 The operations of one "PGter Leheup, Esq.," says the London Chronicle, made the lottery notorious. He frauduIently "cornered" the tickets, 5000 or so of them passing by his aid to Sampson Gideon, who sold them at premium.
 An inquiry instituted by the house of commons resulted in the prosecution by the attorney general of Leheup. The penalty was fine of E1,OOO. but this was by no means excessive. as f4O,OOO was Leheups estimated profits from the fraud.
