no prospect of help. At last she began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and at once im-

She says: “ I became perfectly cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and am now a well woman. I weigh 1281bs.,

Slay Gould’s passionate love of flow-

tie that perfumed his whole life, and
.despite his greed for gold, is the one
thing that now makes his memory fra-

son, devoted to flowers, is said to be
.thelgrgest and finest in the world.

»’Appeal of the Letter-Carriers.
The New York letter-carriers have
petitioned President Harrison to is-
sue an order bringing them as a body
under the scope of the civil-service
laws and thereby shielding them from
the partisan patronage-hunters. The
late Hon. Cox was the special advocate
and defender of tins most worthy class
of public servants in the latter years
of his Congressional career. He suc-
ceeded in having their pay increased,
their long hours of labor reduced, and
their hard life in many ways made
more comfortable. If he were alive he
would, we are certain, earnestly sup-
port their present appeal to the Presi-
dent. '
No men in the employ of the general
Government render better service for
so small a compensation. They are out
in all sorts of weather—the melting
heat of Summer, the bitter cold of
\Vinter —traveling their toilsome round
of duty patiently, punctually, faith-
fully. They are as honest and intel-
ligent a body of men as can be found,
and universally popular. If it is pos-
sible to make their tenure of service
more secure we trust it will be done.
The Shoddy Woman.
There is nothing that makes a woman
so distinctively shoddy says an ex.
change, as to have her look down upon
a sister woman Simply because she has
to earn her own living. The well
dressed. elegant looking female who
draws her silken skirts away lest they
come in contact with the poorer gar-
ments of the shop or factory girl may
' not be one whit more deserving of good
fortune than her less favored neigh-
bor. .
Absolute necessitv makes a woman
start out into the world to earn her own
way. It is not a pleasant prospect
whether she be young or old, having
. once enjoyed riches, to be dependenton
her own exertions to gain the only
comforts she ever has experienced. In
either case it is a hard struggle. Wo-
men are not built for warriors in so un-
equal a struggle, therefore when cir-
cumstances compel them to take up the
burden on their own frail shoulders,
encouragement instead of reproach
should be their portion.
It does not argue that because awom-
an stands behind a counter all day, or
clicks away at'the ivory keys of a type-
writer, or even presides over our kitch-
en, that shc has not as good blood in
her veins as .her more famed sisters.
She may have sprung from a race of
kings. Her ancestry may be the proud-
est in the land, yet the elusive dollar
may have hied itself away to the cofi'ers
of some person who know not their
own grandfather, and the plucky'Amer-
ican girl, finding that one cannot live
on the memory of what has been, turns
to with a courage that nine times out
of ten insures success, notwithstanding
the withering looks of Mrs. Shoddy and
women of her ilk. '
The latter lady, however, had better
‘ remember that riches, alas! have wings
and there may be a day when 'her own
proud self or high and mighty daugh-
ters will find it compulsory to frater-
' 4 nize with the people whom today they
" regard with disfavor. When that time
comes they 'will be wonderfully luré
prised to find that thereare many real, -
1 ladies of birth and breeding: among the.

Methods of Advertisers.
Advertising has become a science,
says the Tribune. Complaint is some-
times made that the advertiser is a lit-
tle too aggressive; that he has too
much thrust and persistence and to
little perception of the proprieties. of
life; that he rings in his little pill or
portion between paragraphs of an es-
say or stanzas of a poem, or plasters
the face of nature with reminders of
his sarsaparilla and in general that his
universal popping up in unexpected
places is getting to be a nuisance.
There is one method of personal advey.
tising, however, that gives no offence.
It is so simple and so artless and yet so
subtle that it wins its way Without
hardly attracting notice. It consists
in being “mentioned’ffor something
or other; some public office or special
function; and then either declining
the position with efl'usiveness or refus-
ing to be’ interviewed on the. subject.
There’s a great deal of this going on
just now in consequence of an impend-
ing change in the Federal Administra-
tion. During the last month the num-
ber of persons “mentioned” for Cabi-
net places must have astonished Mr.
Cleveland. Itlhas no doubt been a re-
lief to him to know that in every in-
stance the person “mentionec” has
seized the earliest oppoltunity to be
interviewed on the subject and to fling
abroad on the wings of the Associated
Press his positive disclaimer of any de-
sire for the place. By this means he
has become widely known as a person
of importance who is a good deal
talked about.

Disgraceful Mail Service.
The GAZETTE last week called atten-
tion to the disgraceful condition of the
present mail service. Since that time
several of our exchanges have taken the
matter up and given their experience
which tallies exactly with ours. The
Ansonia Sentinel, in noticing our re-
marks, says that condition of things is
just what the Sentinel has complained
of for along time past, and very little
relief has been afforded. It is extreme-
ly interesting. if not instructive, to read
the glowing reports of the Postmaster-”
General and his subordinates on the ex-
cellent postal facilities we enjoy, but
the truth is these reports are false. In
Capt. White’s report he gives the num-
ber of errors made by railway service
Either he is trying to
bamboozle the public or else his statis-
tics are away off. In the past week the
Sentinel’s mail has contained a dozen
errors or more. Some papers that have
always been regular have not come at
all; others came, but two or three days
late. The postal service of this coun.
try, judging from that in this vicinity,
is treribly ineflicient. This does not re-
fer to the local service. It applies to
those men who handle the mails en
route, who either care nothing for the
public needs or else are so overworked
that they are forced to neglect some
one. If the former, they should be
fired ; if the latter, they should be
given more help. But it would be bet-
ter for Mr. Wanamaker and his subor-
dinates to do less blowing and give
more attention to the business.
The Stamford Advocate, which is
meeting with the same kind .of treat-
ment at the hands of the postal authori-
ties, says that we can unhappily add the
testimony of our own experiences to the
same effect. One or two cases in point
may be cited. A few days ago a gen-
tleman of Stamford returned from a
visit of several weeks to friends out
West. These friends are regular sub-
scribers to the Weekly Advocate, and
their visitor naturally looked to the
coming of the Advocate, with its news
from home, with peculiar interest. He
found that many numbers did not come
at all, others came very irregularly,
and sometimes the issues of two or
three weeks would come in a bunch.
His friends told him that had been for
some time the normal condition of
things, only they seemed to be getting
worse. One of the editors of this paper
recently spending a couple of weeks in
Ohio, directed.the Daily Advocate to
be sent him, and this was regularly
done. He got the first paper sent all
right. Then there was a hitch of sev-
eral days,lwhen he got two or three pa-
pers in a bunch. In the two weeks’
time he got about one-half of the total
number sent, and but one of the whole
number got there in reasonable and
regular time. It is evident there is
reckless and careless work in the rail-
way meil service, for we cannot be-
lievethe fault is in the local oflices.
The sooner a change comes, the better,
and there is some comfort in knowing
that it cannot well be for the worse.
Teach Patriotism in the Schools‘
“Teachers, don’t neglect to make
your boys and girls patriots,” was the
injunction of Assistant Superintendent
Lydia Kirby in her address at the dedi-
cation of the Delaplaine McDaniel
School, Philadelphia, Pa. This charge
should be the inspiration of all pub-
lic school teachers and the prime
motive of the public school system it-
self, says the Times. The simple rudi-
ments of an English education are a
necessary preliminary to the instruc-
triots. nfortunately few of our pub-
lic educators have as yet 'shown that
they fully comprehend the chief mis-
sion of our public school system. Miss
Kirby’s terse utterance deserves the
widest" circulation and universal adop-
tio‘n. . -
If it were a generally accepted the-
tion that shall develop pupils into pa- .
ory that our public schools were. solely
designed as training schools for citi-
zens and not as nurseries for tradesmen
or the professions nor to teach the ten-
ets of any form of religion, there would
be little room for the disputes of the
religious sects about the division of the
school funds and less danger that any
sect would seek or secure any control
over schools or school moneys. Jews,
Catholics, Protestants and Pagans are
alike interested in securing for this
country an intelligegt, patriotic, coun-
try-loving class of ci zone. If the pub-
lic schools are made the source of and
fountain of this sort of citizenship all
classes and sects will have a common
motive in their perpetuation and no
cause for jealousy of each other in re-
gard to their control or management.
Each will then see that purely relig-
ions instruction should be left to the
churches and schools of the various
denominations.
This alone should serve as a suflicient
motive for making the training of the
citizens of a Republic which tolerates
and protects all religions alike the
chief aim of our schools. But the high-
er motive, that of citizenship intelli-
gent enough to perpetuata and extend
our free institutions, should be impera-
tive, even if there were no reason for
avoiding sectarian or religious jealous-
ies. Religion can be taught in any
church or parochial school, trades can
be learned in training schools and oth-
er technical institutions. Our colleges
and universities can turn :out all the
professional men wanted, but preach-
ers, priests, tradesmen, lawyers, phy—
sicians, teachers, farmers and laborers
alike shoqu be intelligent citizens, and
to the public school should be assigned
the work of furnishing the necessary
instruction in citizenship.
If the public schools are to teach pa-‘
triotism, the instruction must extend
beyond the singing of patriotic songs,
cheering the flag and marching in pub-
lic processions. The children must be
taught the principles of free govern-
ment, the distinction between our Fed;
eral, State and municipal systems, the
whole process of elbcting our officials
from the precinct primary to the final
deposit of the ballots in the boxes, the
law-maklng process and the many oth-
er things necessary to enable them to
discharge their duty as citizens intelli-
gently. And above all they should be
‘trained to regard citizenship as above
all price, and to despise the man who
holds his vote as an article of sale or
barter. Miss Kirby is right. the chil-
dren should be made patriots by the
public schools, and that school which
most completely conforms to this idea
will be the best public school.
Flower and the Manly Art.
An Albany correspondent announces
that Gov. Flower has received from
New York it new pair of boxing-gloves,
which he .will utilize in taking daily ex-
ercise at the executive mansion.
same correspondent states that it is
Gov. Flower’s intention to “punch the
bag” and indulge in other vigorous ex-
ercise when the weather will not permit
him to take long walks. In short, the
executive head cf the great 'State of
New York has become a convert to the
Muldoon system of seeking health and
strength.
The Washington Post congratulates
Gov. Flower on his departure, and sin-
cerely hopes that he may become most
efficient in “punching the bag” and all
other exercises which contribute to
pugilistic success. We are confident
that a governor who can place a judici-
ous upper cut and land heavily on the
stomach of an adversary is a great gain
for any commonwealth. The exercise
that Gov. Flower will secure will be of
vast benefit to him when it comes to
dealing with. legislative committees
and politicians with assembly district
“ pulls.”
But the above enumerated advantag-
es are not the only ones that Gov.
Flower will secure. Gov. Flower is
credited with, having Presidential as-
pirations, and the year 1896 is but four
years in the future. The pugilistic vote
of this country is no longer an inconse-
quential factor. If the “gents” who
inflict upper cuts and “punch the bag”
will but stand together in 1896 the next
President will be sure to be a bag
puncher and an upper cutter, and his
other name will be Roswell Pettibone
Flower. '
" About seven or eight months ago I
was attacked by a cough, and at once
began to take a medicine much adver-
tised as an expectorant, and continued
using it until I had taken’about'six bot—

made me worse. I tried several other
remedies, but all in vain, and I don’t
think I had three whole‘nights’ rest
during my illness. I began to think that
