Helping na- People.
There is something not) and high and
ennobllug bl the thought of helping
, chum Tomav-lhomtohpho
of conduct and cleanliness. to provide
table napkins and badlrocms for than.
to train them to eat with their fake
instead of their knives. to teach them
good memento train theireun tolhe
sweet harmonics of the music of Wag»
nor. and amlally. to have them say
“Voguer" instead of plain Wagner—
what can be more alluring?
Yet there are obstacles in the way of
milling this kingdom pf ugthetioism on
Earth. obstacles that the church and col-
lege settlement people little count on
when they begin the delightful and
philanthropic Work of elevating the
masses. Thc worst obstacles is the mass-
es themselves. They do not want to be
elevated. at loast many of them do not.
That lively philanthropist Edward
Atkinson. who has certainly tried to
help the masses with his wonderful Al-
ladln oven that cooks half a dozen things
at once and keeps the house warm and
givesa light to read by besides and costs
so much that gtho masses cannot afford
to buy it. this amiable Mr. Edward
Atkinson has spent stano time visiting
the poorer classes in the sweatshop dis-
tricts. In one boarding house in the dir-
tiest quarter of Boston be found a man

Would have said he was just plain

Boston could be dirty. At any rate.
though, the comatose boarder had drop-
ped his savings bank bwk. Au inspec-
tion of it showed that he had 8400 de-
posited, plenty to live in a clean locality
and be respectable. yet from deliberate
choice he took the dirtiest part of Bos-
ton for his residence.
Some benevolent people who piticd
the condition of the poor in being de-
prived of comfort built neat little cot-
tages and provided each with a bath-
room. The consequence was that one
family occupying the cottages used the
bathtub to pack the family pork in.
They said that my the way they did in
Canada. Another slum family found the
bathtub the greatest possible conven-
ience as an ,asll bin.
Such are some of the sad results of
trying to elevate slum people. The only
\vay seams to be to let the old slum-
mers go their unclean and improvidcut
gait and begin on their children. It
caught young enough, these can be ele-
vated. At the same time the stiffest
possible sanitary laws, rigidly enforced,
may reach their parents somewhat.
The most singular situation in French
politics since the founding of the third
republic has been presented during the
recent winter. The constitution of the
state declares that a cabinet shall resign
when a vote of parliament is pronounced
against it. The quarrels of a French
cabinet have heretofore been with the
lower house, the chamber of deputies,
ncvcr until now with the senate. The
house, being the larger and more infin-
ontial, has always had its own way in,
dcposing an objectionable ministry. This
time. however. the tables were turned.
Tho Bourgeois ministry was supported
by a majority of the chamber of dopa-
tics. The senate was unaltcrably op-
posed to its policy and the senate mean-
time claimed the same right as the house
to down a ministry opposed to it. The
fact. that the crisis has been generally
regarded with a feeling bordering on in-
difference by the public shows that under
republican government the excitable
French people are learning nobiy to keep
their heads on and remain cool when
tempests arise in the political teapot.
A foolish and antiquated custom still
prevails in some parts of making jurors
and witnesses kiss a Bible when taking
oath to dothc right thing in thé matter
in court. It is a relic of superstition as
silly and barbarousas making a sup-
posed murderer criminal pass through
fire to show whether he was guilty or
innocent. The Bible is a sacred book,
but after one single Biblical volume has
been used in a court for some 15 or 20
years the outside of it gets so grimy as
to belie any claim to sacrcdness so far as
it is concerned. There is no disease in
the catalogue which a juror or witness
might not get from kissing a book that
had been previously kissed for a term of
years by all sorts and conditions of peo-
ple. The use of {Bible in this way is
enough to destroy respect for it.
Colonel Nicol, who deposed Bailing-
ton Booth and his beautiful and elo-
, queut wife from their place as com-
manders of the Salvation Army in
America, issued a manifesto requesting
everybody to pray for everybody as soon
'as he had consummated the deal. Now
let Colonel Nicol go of! into a quiet cor-
ner and do some good. strong praying
for himself. '
The country appreciates the fact that
the present national house of representa~
lives has accomplished a greater amount
of work than any house ever did before
in the early part of a long session.
Senator Carter's objection to the tariff
bill passed by the house was that it took
good care of American wool manufac-
turers and left American woolgrowers
nut in the cold.

The Rules of [III Life.

ginin tells me this story:
Immediately after the war a promi-

vestmunt in Virginia. wont to Madison
Court House in that state with Frederick
Douglass as a traveling companion.
Their business brought them in contact
with a certain Colonel Dinwiddie. a
Virginia gentleman of the old school.
Mr. Wise's friend said:
“Colonel Dinwiddie, allow me to in-
troduce my friend, Mr. Frederick Dong
lass. You must have heard of him. ” .
The colonel put his hands behind him
as Mr. Douglass stepped forward, and
extended his.
"Douglass," said the. Virginian, “I
am glad to see you. But you will ex-
cuse me; I have made it a rule of my
life never to shake hands with niggers. "
“0b. certainly,” said Douglass. ”1
am an tax-slave and I know the preju-
dices of the old slave owners."
There was somefurther conversation,
and then Douglass said to the courtly
son of the Old Dominion:
“By the way, colonel, we are just
going to take a drink. Will you join
as?" .
The old gentleman hesitated. cleared
his throat and then replied:
