THE CHARMS OF OFFICE.

Who Can find No HsppUnr Out or Official Life.

President Lincoln once said that thetwo things in this world which mostresemble each other in attractions andin effects are whisky and office. Notruer comparison was ever made. Aman who know not the delights of of-lin- e,

like one who has never felt the in-

fluence of liquor, finds no fault withan obcure. soberexistence: but let himon e taste the sweets ot official life,and. like' the youth who for the firsttime experiences the hilarious senaa-- t

on of the cup. he will regard h:sfo iuer mode of living a insipid Annunbearable. This fact explains thetrange tenacity with which luen who

have been in the public service clingto government employment, even whenthrir interest- - are in other directions.They prefer a salary of two or threethousand dollars a year, with a pettyotlice. to five times that amount inthe.obscurity of private life. There arenow on Vile at the Post-offi- ce Depart-ment a number of application forrneager-alarie- d Postnia-tershi- ps by

who can not ret co'itentout of office, though the r business orprofessions ie!d them large e.

Some of these papers arecouched in pitiful term, which wouldnol ill become the pet tion of an exilewho earns for h s native soil. It wouldbe impossible to inllie a greater injuryon a r sing oung lawyer or merchantthan to send him to Congress and thennot keep him there for life. He cannever resume his occupation with uc-- e

s. The office instinct once implant-ed in his m ml, will crop out every timean office is to be tilled and will renderliim incapable of -- enot:s attention tohi bu-ino- ss. He will probably becomein the end a chronic office-seeke- r, award polit.ciau or even a member ofthe Legislature. Constituencies shouldjonder well the responsibility' they as-Mi-

when they select new repreenta--tvis in Congress. The" Iiould bear in

mind that they are transplanting ten-der plant-- into a richer soil and thatwhen these nlants have taken root .nthe trop'cal climate of the capital tlieycannot without damage ordestruetiou,be removed to the less genial dimewhence the- - came. Better leave themin the r native earth or make their re-

moval permanent.Dur ng the lat session of Congress1

there was considerable comment aboutthe number of who were-- ecu on the floor of the House. The-- e

were for the Miost part those who wereknocked off their feet by the tidal waveof ix: and who were etill quite dazedby the suddenness of the thing. It waspitiful to watch their features as theywandered from seat to seat, receivingcondolence- - and affecting a jollity tlieywere far from feeling. One would thinkthat revisiting the scenes of past gloryonly add- - pa n to mi-fortu- but these

cupied. Several havepermanently in Washington,

THE CREMATORIUM AT MILAN.A Detcrlptloa of the Method or ludMrar

end of the grounds, a building notlarge or high, but with its crescent-shape- d

open atrium of white marblesufficiently handsome and imposing.On the frieze is this inscription: Tem-pi-o

o per volonta del AlbertKeller ertttoe do nata alia cittadi Milano.On the wall facing the entrance is ahaud-oiu- e medallion of Albert Keller,who was duh cremated in the templeof hi- - own providing. Many portionsof the wall are marked off in smalltablets inscribed with the names of thepersons whose bodies have undergonecremation, and whose ashes, in manycases, repose in an urn or small vesselin a niche behind the tablet. Ashesthey are not. properly speaking. Iwas shown about a couple of bandfulsof white bleached bone.iu bits not largerthan one's linger all that remained, as--I

learned.-- after th"e cremation of thebody of a man some ten stones inweight. Other spaces have been ap-

propriated by intending cremators, andhave the word "Assegnato"' inscribedon them. Through a small door youpass from the atrium into what I maydescribe as the operating room, in themiddle of which stands the enclosedfurnace, looking like an enlargededition of the family laundry copper.The lire is kindled at the back of thefurnace, and when at the proper mo-

That it is harmless Ls a nega-tive praise; that a pursuit of its objectsi healthful, and take the man whoworks in the city out into the freshcountry air. is a po-iti- ve recommenda-tion. But the labor is also instructive.Things have not changed very muchsince the days of Malpighi, and biologyis a respected and necessary study.And throughout the world of animatedbeings it may be safely said that thegrowth and changes of life can no-where be so easily and pleasantly ob-served as in the rearing of butterfliesand moths from the eg. As to but-terflies, it may be asserted that theyare less interesting than their cousin'sthe moths, who constitute the elderbranch of the great natural group ofscaly-wing- ed insects, or LepidojAera,to which both belong. The butterfliesare le.--s numerous in species, or kinds,and more uniform in habit and appear-ance. These gaudy and papery-- w ingedday-fli- es have their own attractions andpresent their own scientific problems,but in number, diversity, soft and deli-cate colors, and patterns and unex-pected modes of life, they can not holda candle, to speak both figuratively andappositely, to the foolish but lovelymoths.

The Sandal-Woo- d of Japan.Passing by a shop you see cords of

wood cut into small blocks about sixinches long. This you learn is nothingshort of shoe-timbe- r. These cords ofwood will speedily be converted intoshoes of various sizes, 'at prices rang-ing ail the way from four to twentycents. One feels quite exalted in apair of twenty cent shoes. The woodis called kiri, and is very light Theclogs are still further lightened byhollowing out the center. So, in pointof fact, there is little truth in callingthe shoes heavy, although they appearso to the inexperienced observer. Itmust be admitted, though, that theyare unreasonably clumsy. Sometimesthe shoes worn by the ladies anlacquered, and are fastened by a velvetband passing from either side over thlower part of the instep, and betweenthe first and second toes. With thissame kind of wood is made bureausprovided with strong iron handles, andthe whole box is adjustable in hori-zontal sections, one piled above an-other. Owing to the lightness of thewood thc--e boxes may be filled withclothing and carried off on theshoulders of the coolie in case of fires,which so often vex the people of Tokio.

turn over hi revolver to the porter,which he declined to do in a very spit-ite- d
