Mr.. Cleveland.

The reason that the Hon. HENRY WAT
TERsoN 90 vigorously objects to the Hon.
GROVER CLEvELAND's being named by
the Democracy for President is because
Mr.. WATTERsoN thinks Mr.. CLEVELAND
wholly insufficient as tariff reformer.
On the other hand, very powerful
opposition to Mr.. CLEVELAND, in case he
should be nominated, would arise from
the belief that he was a good deal Of a
tariff reformer.
In Col. WATTERsoN's vehemence, how
ever, there Is striking evidence Of con-
viction in the higher party circles that

why, ultimately, she may BE- willing TO
cease to be a widow. -
Notice that no boys need apply. Verg-
ing toward her prime and perfection,
the German widow looks for a gardener
and possible partner who ia come to forty
year and Is beginning TO draw toward the
age OF discretion. This age may be said
to be forty-fve in men, although many or
most OF them would be guiltlcss OF the
discretion u they had twice the age. At
As. or somewhere between it and 40. much
Of the fuzz and downiness Of tender
juvenility should be gone. The capers
have been cut. The wild oats have given
way TO more profitable crops. The IL
lusions Of veal-time have dropped from
the eyes. Then man ought TO be able
TO appreciate fine woman; and he is in
much better case than he was at rs to
appreciate IS acres OF fine land and $1,000
feet Of glass.
It may be added that tho experience
Of many countries and peoples shows
that marriages contracted on sound
business basis rather than from romantic
and necessarily fragile and perishable
impulses turn out well as a rule. The
German widow doesn't care for violet
in the youth of primy nature, forward
not permanent, sweet not lasting, the
perfume and supplianoe Of moment. '
See the Shakespeare Phrase Book. '
She wants a steady. middle-aged man
who makes a specially of carnations.
For the benefit Of unmarried medieval
German gardeners, who know their BUSH
ness and especially carnations, we here

have to sell her place.

Climate and Character.

Climate has an undOuhtcd influence
on the character. Persons take from
atmospheric conditions and surround
ings many Of their mental attributes;
they seem to absorb into their being
something akin to the climate and
environment. Those born and reared
in n rugged, wild and bleak country
are generally rugged, hardy and stern
themselves, while those brought up IN
n rich, warm and genial climate and
surroundings are themselves usually OF
Il generous, easy going nature. The
London Evening Standard. of recent
date, discusses the subject and says:
In lands Of the sun, where the earth
offers the necessities and luXuries OF
lfe almost without labor, man is
Sappcd of energy. and leads lotos
existence No effort Is demanded OF
him. and the capacity to do dwindles
within him. He lollS sensuously in the
lap of nature Il materialst and with
out ambition"
A temperate. bracing climate Is the
most healthy both for body and mind
The strong air imparts force of char
actcr as we'll as power Of limb. No
one is superior to atmospheric condt
tions; it affects all. though sometimes
unconsciOusly. Investigations 10
schools show that pupils are able to do
their best work when the weather is
cold, calm and clear. In large factories
it is stated that an unpleasant day
will reduce the output by ten per cent
Again, continued hot weather invaria'
bly, brings forth n crop of crimes OF
passion. while the summer is also the
season most prolific of suicide. Rair
seems to exert Il deterrent effect on
crime. and fewer deeds of violence are
committed Oh cloudy days than Cd
bright ones.
Whatever there may be said to the
contrary, the fact is undeniable that
climate influences to remarkable de-
gree character and conduct.-Mcd!cal

REcoMPE

There must be far away. somewhere
A realm in which glad angels dwell,
Not merely that we may have there
Sublime rewards for doing well, !.
Not just that good men may at last
Receive the favor of the Lord:
For they are blest who do their best,
Sweet virtue is its own reward.
Yet there must be, far off, some place
In which the mother who has died
Ere gazing on her baby's face
May with her mother love abide:
For her thus robbed of JOY there must
BE fu.urc endless glory where,
Her waiting past, God shall at last,
Consign her dear one to her care.
There must be some fair place beyond
The silent grave. where he may rise
Who never has beheld the fond
Look God put in his mothers eyes:
For him thus robbed how can there be
A reeompense save there above
Where, in her arms clasped joyously,
He may at last learn all her love! -.
