A Good Test Question.

There never was time in the history
of the Republican party when it was
more necessary for Republicans to be
Republican than at the present time.
individuals may have their individual
grievances against the party managers
and some party action; they may find
it easy to criticise the tariff bill or some
other bill, but their loyalty should
cause them to put smaller questions
out of sight while they decide, beyond
all question, what the future of the
party itself shall be. cam / loyal
Republican in the hour of seeming
peril9" is good test question for
every true partisan to ask himself
Then it might be well enough to deter
mine whether or not you will support
a man for United States senator who
has kept progressive pace with all the
history of the great party, with all Of
its great onward movements, with all
OF its great leaders and who has never
ducked, straddled, evaded or stood as
q scolding party censor and cried for
recognition upon the record of irregu-
larity, denunciation and insurgency.
Senator Burrows has ever proven true

Lincoln Stuck 70 His Selection o. Z
Hospital Chaplain Despite
Religious Views.

The nomination of a Mr.. Shrigiey Of
Philadelphia, a UniversaIist, for the
position of chaplain for the hospital
was not met with favor on all sides,
and a delegation Of protestants went
to Washington to see President Lin
, coin on the subject. The following In
terview was the result:
1--WE have called, Mr.. President, 10
confer with you regarding the appoint
ment of Mr. Shrigley Of Philadelphia
as hospital chaplain"
"Oh, yes" replied the president. 'T
have sent his name to the senate, and
he will no doubt be confirmed at "a
early date"
One of the young men replied, ''We
have not come to ask for the appoint
ment, but. to solicit you to withdraw
the nomination"
"Ah," said Lincoln, "that alters the
case. But on what grounds do you
wish the nomination withdrawn
The answer was, ''AIr. Shrigley is
not sound In his theological opinions"
The president inquired, "On what
questions is the gentleman unsound 2
''He does not believe In endless pun
ishment. Not only so, sir, bat he be-
l!eves that even the rebels themselves
will be finally saved" was the reply.
SIS that so?' inquired the president.
The members Of the committee rs-
sponded, Eyes, sir"
'Well, gentlemen, If that is so and
there is any way under heaven where
by the rebels can be saved, then, for
Gods sake and their sakes, let the man
be appointed"
Mr. Shrigley was appointed and serv-
ed until the end Of the war.-Boston

Sea Air.

At meeting Of the French Thera-
peutical society NJ. Laumonier showed
that the therapeutic effect Of sea air
on the coast is quite different from
that Of the open seal e., twenty or
thirty miles out. On the coast the eff
feet tends toward excitement and con-
gestion and, moreover, is irregular in
its action. Out at sea it is tonic and
regulating, and in addition the patient
gets quiet, a regula~ life and a contiD-
nous bath Of pure air. These advan-
tages are not so patent on board great
liners on account Of the vibration an6
the smell from the engines, but on
sailing ship they are evident.

JUDGING A CIGAR.
The Only Real Way to Find Its Quality
Is to Smoke lt-Smelline
1t Is Useless.

On no point is the average smoker so
I'll Informed as that Of judging cigar.
Nine times out of ten, upon being
handed a cigar, he viii hold it to his
nose, unlighted, sniff at the wrapper
with a critical air and deliver his YER
dict in a self satisfied manner. This
characteristic maneuver is always a
source of amusement to any tobacco
man who happens to observe it. There
is only one way to ascertain the qGal-
ity Of a cigar, and that is to smoke it.
No expert will pass judgment on a
cigar until he has lighted 1t and
smoked it well down toward the mid
die. The first and most important
point upon which he bases his opinion
is the burn" Tobacco may have ev-
cry other virtue, but If it does not hold
the fire and burn evenly 1t is poor to-
bacco. Next in order OF Importance
comes the aromatic smoke must
have a pleasing smell" next comes
the fiavOr-the smoke must be smooth
and not "scratchy" or bitter. Then
there is the coIor-rich brown, indicat-
ing a ripe leaf, well cured-and last Is

No Drums In the Middle Ages.

As we come to the middle ages,
when the nations Of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practiced for many CEN
turtles. rhythm had been quite forgot
ten, for what there is left to us of
the music Of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that it was
slowly and monotonously chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve, more partic-
ularly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts Of percussion instru-
ments from the east. Various kinds of
drums, tambourines and cymbals were
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days Of savages, and they
have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas

THE CONSULTATION.
What Her Sister Heard When She
Listened to the Doctors-It
Was Not Expected.

One Of two sisters who lived togeth-
er was suddenly taken with lung at
tack she feared was serious, says the
London Telegraph. She therefore sent
for a specialist and asked her doctor
to meet him. Talking over his coming
with her sister, she said: "NIona, l
wish I could know Sir Henry BIS real
tell Us If there Is anything really
wrong, but I would much rather
know"
Her sister replied: "Do not worry,
dearest. You shall know everything,
for will go down to the dining room
and stand behind the big oak screen
and listen to every word they say"
"And viii you be sure to tell me.
Mona?"
you may rely on me, dearest. I will
tell you every word"
Even If I am not TO get well?'
Even then, dearest" promised the
loyal Mona.
The hour for the consultation arriv-
ed, and the sister went to the dining
room and, standing behind the great
oak screen, ensconced herself and pre-
pared to listen.
By and by the two doctors were
heard descending the stairs, and a mo-
ment later they came into the room.
Walking over to the fireplace. the spe-
cialist sank into an easy chair and the
local doctor sank into another. Then
followed a moments silence, broken by
the specialist. who leaned a little for
ward.
"My dear NJ" he said slowly as he
looked across at his colleague, ''Of all
the ugly women that's the very ugliest
woman I've ever seen IN my life"
"Is she?" replied the local doctor.

When an Ostrich Kicks.

'"Fhe only safe place in the neighbOr-
hood Of kicking ostrich is just be

can kick mule to death, but its kicks
are delivered at an angle Of 45 degrees.
Within those 45 degrees, right abaft
the 'pope's nose Of the bird. there is
absolute safety. On the ostrich farms
Of California, when the herds are being
driven, you will always see the ostrich

many men. 1t is very effective. A

The late DR.. Drummond, the habit

Drummond, always kind hearted and
obliging, complied with the request Of
Divide and found the unfortunate
Noise suffering from what he dag
nosed as a fairly severe case Of ty-
phoid.
wishing TO provide Noise with some
medicine said the doctOr-poet, II ask

village. The prescription compound

dose was to be administered every
