Teil the Truth.

[Philadelphia Record.] The of protection insist upon the repeal of the whisky and tobacco taxes, not because they dislike this cheap and direct method of raising revenue which goes straight from the hand of the tax-payer to the vaults of the Treasury, but because they wish to cut dowu the surplus without disturbing the tariff. The advocates of revenue reform insist upon the maintenance of the whisky and tobacco taxes, not because they prefer these proper objects of tax ation to others from which revenue might be collected with equal economy and fairness, but because t- *ev perceive the breaking up of the established system of excise would postpone much needed changes in the duties laid upon imports. There should be no illusions indulged in the discussion of the subject. Mr. Kelley, Mr. Randall and othei protectionists wish to put off what they regard as the evil day of tariff revision. They would repeal the internal revenue taxes, and make up for the deficiency by adding to the tax on sugar and renewing the tax on tea and coffee. They have no intention of lowering protective duties on wool, coal, iron, steel, salt, ore, or anything else, so as to reach a revenue basis. On the contrary,Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Bayard, and other friends of revenue reform have no love for the whisky tax. They know perfect] y well that every dollar needed by the Government cap be raised by a properly revised tariff for revenue; but they wish to bring about the change from a protective to a revenue system with as little impairment in business interests as possible. They would begin by making free the raw materials of manufacture, and thus gradually strengthen the position of our manufacturing interests for the task of asserting themselves in foreign markets. The protective policy is a policy of restriction, and the repeal of the internal revenue taxes would give it a longer lease of life. The revenue policy is a policy of amelioration and commercial enlargement, and the repeal of the internal revenue taxes would postpone and em barrass its adoption. There should be no disguise about the intentions of those who wish to retain the whisky and tobacco taxes, ihe open truth is best at all times.

A Cleveland Visitor.

A few days ago a j oung politician called at the residence of Mr. Cleveland. He was most cordially received —so cordial, indeed, that he trespassed upon the good graces of the host. I he young man was permitted to talk very freely. Mr. Cleveland at first was very much interested in him and gave him a great deal of attention, notwithstanding the waller was an applicant for a position. Finally he told what he wanted and insisted upon i positive and immediate answer. He got neither, 'i hen le began to give Mr. Cleveland advice. He presumed, it proved, upon the intelligence and credulity of the newlyfiected Executive, for after he Lad proceeded some time, and shown a good deal of impertiaence, Mr Cleveland arose, md looking his friend steadily in the eye, remarked: “Young man, .you are too resh. Good afternoon.” The young presumptuous how ed a good deal of surprise, i iis eye 3 popped, but he got up and got.

Jimmy Brown and the Ice Cream Party.

There was pretty nearly a whole week that I kept oat of trouble, bat h didn't last Boys are bom to fly upward like the sparks that trouble, and yesterday I wa* "up to mischief again,” as Sue said, though I never had the least idea of doing any mischief. Hew should an innocent boy, who might easily have been an orphan had things happened in that way, know all about cooking and chemistry and such, I should like to know. It wag really Sue’s fait. Nothing would do but she must have a party, and of course she must have ice-cream. Now the ice-cream that our cake-shop man makes isn’t good enough for her, so she got father to buy an ice-cream freezer, and she said she would make the icecream herself. I was to help her, and she sent me to the store to order sonic salt. I asked her what she wanted of salt, and she said you couldn’t freeze ice-cream without plenty of salt, und that it was almost as necessary as ice. I went to the store and ordered the salt, and then had a game or two of ball with the boys, and didn’t get home till late tn the afternoon. There was Sue freezing the ice-cream, and suffering dreadfully, bo she said. She had to go and dress right away, and she told me to ke< p turning the ice-cream freezer until it froze, "and don’t run off and leave me to do everything again, you good-for-noth-ing boy ; I wonder how you can do it. ” I turned that freezer for ever so Ion;., but nothing would freeze, so I made up my mind that it wanted more salt. I didn’t want to disturb anybody, so I quietly went into the kitchen and got the salt-cellar and emptied it into the ice-cream. It began to freeze right away ; but I tasted it and it was awful salt, so I got the jug of golden syrup and poured about a pint into the ice-cream, and when it was done it was a beautiful straw color. But there was au awful scene when the party tried to eat that ice-cream. Sue handed it round and said to everybody: "This is my icecream, and you must be sure to like it.” The first one that she gave it to was Dr. Porter. He is dreadfully fond of icecream, and he smiled such a big smile, and said lie was sure it was it delightful, and took a whole spoonful. Then he jumped up as if something had bit him, and went out of the door in two jumps, and we didn’t see him again. Then three more men tasted their ice-cream, and jumped up and ran after the doctor, and two girls said, "Oh, my!” and held their handkerchief* over their faces, and turned just as pale. And then everybody else put their ice-cream down on the table, and said thank you, they gueaeed they wouldn’t take any. The party was regularly spoiled, and when I tasted the ioe-crefun I didn’t wonder. It was worse than the best kind of strong medicine. Sue was in a dreadful state of mind, and when the party had gone home—all but one man, who lay under the apple tree all night and groaned like he was dying, only we thought it was the cats—she made me tell her all about the salt and the golden syrup. She wouldn’ believe that I had tried to do my best and didn’t mean any harm. Father took her part, and said I ought to eat some of the ioe-oream since I made it; but I said I’d rather go upstairs with him. So I went. Some of these days people will begin to uuderstaud that they are just waisting and throwing away a boy who always tries to do his best, and perhaps they’ll be sorry when it is too late.— Harper't Young People.

Valuable Hints.

When ice is required at night for a sick person, break it into small pieces, and if it be scarce and care must be taken to prevent its melting, put into a soup plate, cover with another plate, and put. between two feather pillows. ever wear a good woolen dress into the kitchen without the protection of a large apron. No flannel that has not been carefully ••••'!Uv'd. snd is not perfectly soft and it c:, K-ou.u - veil tcueu the bkinof an infant. We never had any patience with a mother or nurse who would stick pins carelessly into her' dress, collar, or ribbon, thereby inflicting painful wounds upon her innocent victim. Not a pin, excepting a sab t / pin, should be used ■bout a child, and when buttons will pernn the ohieo of pin 3 they should be ule to do so. To mothers, aunties, or sisters who do up the school luncheon for the youngsters : pray make it as attractive in appearance as possible. There is truly nothing very attractive about a thick piece of dry bread and butter and a Ci okie, rolled in a piece of coarse brown paper, washed down by a drink from the cup that “goes, the rounds.” Such a luncheon will often impair the appetite of a fastidious or delicate child, and he will go without rather than eat it. A little care in the cutting of the bread; the doing up of the. cookies or crullers in tissue or white paper; the Bauce or custard put into a pretty cup, and all wrapped in a clean white napkin within a bright tin pail, or, better still, a pretty lunch basket, will, by the pleasure it gives the child, well repay the extra care and thought.— Rural New | Yorker.

So far from being injured by severe labor, carried on under normal conditions, the brain is improved by it. Metal activity, like muscular exercise, keeps the brain in a healthy state. When, therefore, a man savs ho is suffering from the effects of mental overwork, I want, co kfiow tvhafc his views are. Worry may be one of these; worry is exhaust ing.

Public Politeness.

I wa# ooming up town, and entared ft* (jfef# in which five elegantly dressed fine-looking women were sitting on eech dde of ii They might be the lady patronesses of some society. There wa# room for another person on each side, but not one of thoae women moved to make room for me, and I rode a mile Oi more, while these ten women—l do not any ladiaa—declined to give me a leak a# they ooold have done any moment, without rising or crowding. The moat of them were probably mothers. But a# the instinct of good manneik— that is, of politeness, which is simply the law of kindness—was not in the breast of ode of tne ten, what is to be expected of their children ? They cannot teach what they do not know, and, aa they know nothing of politeness, their children will be boors. Going to the omnibus again for a sample of manners, I opened the door to Step in, the other day, when a boy took advantage of my holding it open, jumped in and took the only vaoant seat, tickled that he got the start of me ana got the seat. This was young America all over. The great Athenian philosopher said that democracy has the foundation in the principle that one man is aa good as another, if not a little better. And many wise men have insisted that popular goverment tends to destroy reverence for superiors and deference to others, which are essential elements of refined manners. “In honor preferring one another,” is the inspired religion of politeness. It is not one of the highest virtues. It may be where there is no virtue. And I do not say the politest nations are the strongest, nor that it is impossible to get money, and power, and all that, with the manners of a pig. The very trait of character which the “gintleman wht pays the rint ” exhibits when he puts his foot into the trough to keep others away while he eats, is the trait erf many who succeed in getting much money. But there is a better way. And it is the way that has few walking in it, tn this day of ours.

Not Appreciated.

One night a policeman who was patrolling Grand River avenue and trying the doors of business houses came to a grocery and found the door unlocked and the key in the lock. He sprung the bolt, put the key in his pocket and sauntered on, and in the course of an hour he found opportunity to send word and the key to the proprietor. He didn’t expect any particular praise for his action, but he was hardly prepared for the storm which soon swooped upon him. The grocer himself, with battered hat, torn coat and two fingers bleeding, suddenly appeared before him and said: “If I’ve any influence in this town I’ll have you off the force inside of two days!” “Why, what’s the matter!” “Matter? Ask me what’s the matter ? Oh! I’ll fix you!” “For what? For finding your store unlocked and sending the key to your house ?” “Yes, sir! I was down there hunting np mustard for a sick child at home, and what do yon do but lock me iu and promenade off?” “Is it possible?” “And there I’ve been for an hoar or more, and would be yet if I hadn’t crawled through a cellar window! Oh! I’ll lay for you, old guardian of the peace!”— Detroit Free Press.

Near-Sightedness.

Education may create discomforts as (tell as secure great advantages. The German nation is threatened with a peculiar trouble of the eyes, as a penalty for reading badly printed books and for unwise methods of study. A careful investigation of the schools by competent physicians has revealed the unpleasant fact that near-sightedness is growing common, and may become universal. In children of five years and under, it was rarely found ; the vision was quite perfect. In the lower schools, from fifteen to twenty per cent, of the scholars were effected; in the higher schools, from forty to fifty per cent. In the theological department of the University, seventy per cent, of the students were troubled; and in the medical department the misfortune was almost universal, only five per cent, not being thus afflicted. The physicians ascribe the difficulty to the practice of holding the books too near the eyes, and the practice is due in a large measure to the poor print of cheap books. The trouble is increasing in our own country, and it might be wise to have a similar examination of our own schools by skillful physicians, in order to call public attention to the evil,— Morgan* ioum Press.

AH appetizing dish appeared on oar table the other day called on the mefiu “smothered heart with lemon sauoe.* It was made of slices of beef heart cooked in a very little water until tender, then dipped in flour and nicely browned in butter. The sauce was of flour, butter and hot water, and was flavored with lemon. This is to be served as an entree only, and not to take place of the roast, which forms the pleoe de resistance at the ordinary dinner. Cabbage pickled thus will help save the cucumber pickles: Select a nice, firm head, and remove the outside leaves, cut it into two parts and shave it very fine, place it in a jar, sprinkle pepper and salt over, then chop two red peppers and two heads of celery very fine and put in, then about two tablespoonfuls of white mustard seed. Pour cold vinegar over it, cover with a plate and put a weight on it to keep the cabbage under the vinegar. This will be good to eat in about a week. Fish Balls.—One pint pared potatoes, chopped small, one-half pint raw salt fish, torn into small pieces and put in cold water, Put the potatoes in a kettle, and the fish on top, covered with boiling water; cook until the potatoes are soft. Drain off the water, mash the fish and potatoes together iu the kettle. Add pepper, salt if needed, also one egg well beaten; one teaspoonful butter. Drop tablespoonful into frying basket and plunge into hot fat. Don’t turn them. Lejion Pie.— Boil together for five minutes three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, one saltspoonlul of salt, one and a half cups of sugar, and one pint of boiling water. Add the juice and grated rind of two lemons. Set aside to cool; when cool add the beaten yolks of four eggs, then stir in the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff. Bake with only an undercrust. The pie will have all the lightness and delicacy of an omelet, with the most exquisite flavor. It should be served the same day it is baked. Call and examine the sf • k f prints at Fendig’s.
