Grover Cleveland.

sion of congress for the purpose of
having II repeal the Silver act of the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself to the surgeons
knife for tl.c removal OF cancerous
ulcer which had appeared In the roof
of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind of the public, and the operation
was performed In the closest secrecy
aboard yacht as 1t steamed slowly up
the East River, Off New York. Not un-
til many years had passed was 1t
known that vixen congress assembled
he faced 1t with rubber jaw.
Under the pressure Of the president,
the Silver act was repealed but only
after bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hopelessly split The
passage OF tariff bin divided the par-
ty still more. 1t was such lobby
made, log-rolling measure that Cleve-
land refused to sign It, but let 1t be-
come law without his signature. After
that tire Democrats went down I'm de-
feat In the congressional elections Of
1894.
In the depth of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message to congress. In
II he announced that the British gov
ernment had rejected oil our appeals
for the arbitration Of land dispute
which It was pressing in South Amer
lea, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves should decide the question
and then proceed to enforce our dc.
cision.
Stocks tumbled headlong In Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both sides OF the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
rcassurcd his troubled private sccrc-
tary, "Thurber, this does not mean
war; 1t means arbitration" A.ld that
was the outcome Of all the hubbub.
Clevcland's outburst Of plain speaking
had the effect Of awakening Tie Eng
lish people, as never before, to the val
ue Of American friendship, and It
opened Il new era in the relations OF
the two governments.
Clevcland'e hardest, longest battle in
his second administration was for the
gold standard. Almost alone he upheld
It through four years. abandoned by
most Of the Democrats and unaidcd by
the gJl. Republicans In congress WHO
were afraid Of hurting the party"

~ ROVER CLEVELAND had no
NJ more than left the presidency in
defeat and settled down to the prnc-
ticc of law in New York CITY than it
was seen that he was still almost as
much the leader of the Democratic
party as when he was in TIE White
House.
In the four years of his retirement,
he seldom saw party leaders. Yet so
strong was the reaction against the
Republicans and so loud the call for
him in 1892 that he returned in trl-
umph to the White House.
One of the periodical panics Of the
l9tE century smote the country with q
financial and industrial paralysis in
1893, only two months after the in
auguration. AS usual, the party in
power caught the blame, and day after
day leading Republican newspaper
shouted In glceful headlines: "Another
bank gone Democratic !"
AS the first means Of restoring con-
hdencc, Cleveland called special ses-

The Artists Choice.

In the career Of every artist there
comes a supreme moment when ne
or she must choose between two serV-
ices-the service of art or the service
Of self. While the artist is actually
studying and qualifying, this choice
is hardly offered; he is all artist
then, because he is learning and try
ing to grasp and achieve command
of his art; the artist is always q
learner, and the true learner Is In
some degree an artist. But with
achievement and mastery come recOg-
milton and applause, come Opp0E.
tunity and power. The artist has be-
come MASTER teacher, endowed
with that subtle. quality that lays
the world at his bidding, when he
may either make his followers glOrify
hirn Or glorify his art. The choice
is between serving his art or making
it serve him. For the artist who re-
mains true there can be no choice ;
he must go on serving and learning.

The Moths Song.

In contrast with host Of buz2ing
relatives, the moths are silent tribe.
This makes the deaths head moth all
the more conspicuous in having Q
voice with which it makes a sound
something like mOuse's squeak,
which can be heard at distance Of
several yards. 1t appears from re-
cent learned investigation that while
the cricket and cicada, and indeed
all other tuneful insects, are compare
BILE to fiddlers or other members Of q
stringed band, the deaths head moth
really is a vocalist making its song
with Its mouth on the reed pipe plau
on which land animals depend. II
the insects should get up concert
the deaths head moth is the only voice
they could muster, Was 1t the pro
vocation of his name that made him

LAID OUT AS A PLAYGROUND
Famous London Street Had Its Begin
ming In the Whim Of Monarch
for New Sport.

For the origin Of that famous street
in London known as Pail Mall, we can
bark back and take peep into the
diary Of that remarkable man, Sam
uel Pepys. On April 2, 1861, he says,
ITO st. James park, where ! saw the
duke of York playing at Pelemele, the
first time that ever saw the Sport"
The dukes brother, King Charles,
had recently formed what is called
the mall for the playing Of this game,
which was new in England, as there
had previously existed a walk for
that purpose on the ground occupied
by the street now known as Pail Mall.
The game was introduced from
France, but the name appeared to be
from the italian 'palamagliO" and
was played with a ball and a maliet
along straight alley and through a
ring elevated about IL feet on an arm
extending from standard. The game
somewhat resembles golf, as the win
ner is he who effects this object In
the smallest number of strokes. The
mallet is somewhat similar to the one
used in croquet, the handle being
much longer and the face so inclined
as to raise the ball when struck. This
ball was about inches in diameter

The Razor In History.

The next time your razor slips re-
member that it was Scipio Africanus,
the great Roman, who was the first
to institute the custom Of shaving
daily. Which observation brings us
to the subject of shaves and boards
in general. Who took the first shave?
Nobody knows. The answer to the
question, who wore the first beard?
is more simple. Adam, of course.
Something is known of the beard
Of Belshazzar, the ancient monarch
who "made a great feast to 1000
lords" Belshazzar used curling iron
and has frequently been pictured with
a beard full of curls. To users of hen
ma powder it ought to be comfort to
know this monarch used gold powder
on his beard.

HOW GREEN GAGE GOT NAME
NeoIeetful Gardener Responsible for
Sueeulent Fruit Having Its Now
Well-known Appellatlon.


Not one person In a thousand who
enjoys the small. green plum which
goes by the name of the green gage,
ever connects the fruit with an old
manor house In Suffolk, England. A
beautiful, old house It is. Hengrave
hall, which In the time Of Charles II
was settled by the Countess Rivers
upon her daughter Penelope, who
married Sir John Gage. Her third
son, Edward Gage. who was created
a baronet by King Charles In 1852
Inherited Hengrave, and his descend
ants after him.
The gardens were on q magnificent
scale and everything that was new In
the horticultural world found its way
to Hengrave. In this way, among 9TH
err plants and fruit trees, q small
plum tree was sent to the gardener,
who planted 1t without much care or
thought, and without noticing that
the label which ought to have been
attached, was missing. When the lit
tie tree began to bear fruit 1t was
seen that 1t was something In the way
OF a novelty, little, round, green
plum, that was not known to anyone
In Suffolk and until some account
could be obtained of 1t the name, the
Gage plum, or to distinguish 1t from
others, the green gage plum, was used
and became general. - Christian
