"I am deroting all mj time now to
pious utea," Allen G. Thurman tells a re
porter sf "The HarrUburg Call." Thus
does the grand old Roman announce that
he has withdrawn from the democratic
party.
4,Cbjohal" Tanner, the new pen
sion commissioner, seems to Leas ardent
ly hatad by the democrats just now as he
was hated by the same party when he
carried a musket in the union army from
1301 to 1SG5. He surrived democratic
bullets then, although hit by them sev
eral times, an I he will survive democratic
abuse now.
The interest bearing debt of the
United States is now reduced to $915,
000,000. Twenty-four years ago, at the
highest point it was $2,331,000,000. The
reduction of five-eighths of the principal
in a quarter of a century, and of the rate
of interest to about one-half of that
originally paid, places the United Stttes
far ahead of any other country in its
willingness and ability to pay its just
debts.
Congress very generously appropriated
five hundred thousand dollars for the
support of the Samoan commission. The
loss of the three American frigates, to
gether with the coat of the naval expe
dition! to the Sonth Sea islands, will, at
least, foot up to another live hundred
thousand. As vet. the return for this
vast exponditurs has been nothing, and
the prospects are that this investment of
a million dollars, or more, is the poorest
Uncle Sam has made for some time.

ILAliD FOR EQAN.
An enterprising free trade cotempor-
ary commenting cn Patrick Egan's ap
pointment as minister to Chili says:
"3Ir. F?aa is credited to a South
American republic whore the English
have large interests, an 1 it would not be
pleasant for the English representative
in Santiago to ru-et Mr. Egan at a state
dinner."
The Irish World trusts that Mr.
Egan's nerves will not fail him in that
trying ennrgency any more than did
those of that Irish-Sp:iniard, Leopard
O'Donnell, when, as Prime Minister of
Soain. he ranked with the nroudest in
g f
European diplomacy, or that other Irish -
American, Andrew Jackson, when in
1815 he whipped the flower of the British
army at New Orleans, or later, when as
president of this reDublic. he ranked as
M. t ,
equal with the soverigns of Europe.
"We can easily pardon our cotemporary's
ly hit as above qaated, believing it to
be bnt crood-humored b&disa&re. but a
later sentence in the same editorial jeems
positively vicious. It reads thus:
"Mr. Blaine was bound to show his
appreciation of the Irish support which
he has received in his several campaigns
for the presidency, but he might have
selected a more deserving man iuau
Egan."
If the able editor will sav how and
where "a more deserving man than
Egan" is to be found he will place us
under most nrofound obligations. In
every one of the many trying positions
lie has filled he has never failed to be
true to his trusts, which he has executed
with singular success to his clients and
honor to himself. He is now a (exem
plary an American as he was t. model
Irishman and no crreater praise can be
given to any man. Irish World.

Tb Coral Island,
It has long been the opinion o f geolo
gists that the curious atolls of th a Pacific
and Indian oceans, the ..circular coral
islands, inclosing a shallow basis of the
sea, wero to bo explained as was first
suggested by tho late Charles Darwin,
through the long continued subsidence
of tho sea floor on which tht y rested.
The idea was that the coral first found
foothold around the shores of a volcanic
or other mountain jwak projecting above
the sea. It was further supposed that
the subsidence of the ocean floor gradu
ally lowered the original is' and below
the level of the sea, while tlm coral reef,
growing steadfastly upward, remained
after the mountain had disappeared to
mark its original site.
Alexander Agassiz and John Murray
liave recently held to the doctrine that
tho greater part of our atolls at least are
not thus formed, and that the central
cup of the atoll is not due to tho fact
that it occupies the position of a subsid
ing mountain, but that it is brought
about by a process of solution by which
the coral rocks are dissol ?ed away.
Dr. II. B. Guppy, a competent ob
server, has, during a recent sojourn on
the Keeling atoll in tha Indian ocean,
been enabled to confirm the opinions of
Messrs. Murray and Agassiz. It there
fore seems probable that wherever coral
reefs attain the surface of the sea the
circular basin will naturally be formed,
and that if Mr. Darwin's explanation has
any truth in it, it is to be accepted only
in rare and, as yet, unascertained cases.

A pleasant faced old gentleman, who
looks as if he had forgotten as much as
some people know alout editing news
papers, comes over from the peaceful -
shades of Newark now and then to
ingle in the busy metropolitan whirl
of which he was ence an important
figure. He is Noah Brooks, long . time
an editor of the Tribune, a conspicuous
journalist in San Francisco during
vigilante times and one of the most popu
lar writers for children who wield quills
today. Mr. Brooks is a tall, well built
man; his white hair has thinned out on
top, his eyes keep their light, and his
short, white side whiskers and mustache
give him a venerable appearance. He is
well over sixty and carries his age "like
a major. As editor of 1 he Newark Ad
vertiser Mr. Brooks continues the active
intellectual work widen has char
acterized his life. He has given that
journal one of tho oldest in the coun
try, by the way a standing it was un
likely to get otherwise. Besides, in St.
Nicholas snd such periodicals, where one
looks for the lighter touch and the finer
fancies, his name is always welcome, not
only to the editors, but to hundreds of
the little ones who have learned to look
forward with eagerness to his stories for

Water Tight Match Box Wanted.
Bishop, who made a thousand mile
voyage in a paper canoe, says that R. B.
Forbes, of Boston, once gave liim a
water tight pocket match box, that he
lost jt, and was never able to find an
other. Thousands of hunters, canoeists,
and others have hunted and longed for
a match box that would be water tiorht
ono that would preserve its contents
dry even though the owner was com
pelled to take a swim with tho box in the
pocket of his pants, and the pants on the
swimmer. An upset in tho wilderness
or on the coast, away from dwellings,
often destroys every match a man has
with him, and places him in a position of
great danger,
Though match boxes are made in in
numerable styles, we have never been
able to find one which was suitable for
carrying matches in the pocket and
would ftt the same time prptect tjiem
from water. There are some diftioulties
in the way of inventing such an article,
because when carried in the pocket the
air within the box is rarefied by the heat
of tho body. When the box is plunged
into cold water a partial vacuum ia
formed, and this aids in forcing water
through the jomtsr- bejenunc American.
Napoleon.
The duke said: "After the retreat of
Bonaparte from "kejpsio, he never, in
fact, had any hope of getting over his bad
fortune. Mole, then minister of war,
told me that shortly after Napoleon's re
turn at that time to Paris he was playing
at billiards with him when he became
thoughtful and. laying down his cue, be

ever reviving the spirit of the uatian guf

Had these reverses, he said, occurred in
the first days of the republic, there would
have been a freshness of spirit that might

ii'ow worn out and never could again be
expected to revive". Yet, with this de
pressing conviction upon his'm'in'd, he
went through his wonderful campaign of

them for a good while, I have been both
ered to find a ripe opportunity.
In the first place, to plunge right into
the midst of things without further wait
ing, how do you go home to your wifeat
night? Chapters have been written as to
how she ought to receive you; now let
me say a word about the other side of
the question. When you find a tired
little woman who h;is been so hard at
work all day with five babies and an in
competent girl, callers, and miscellaneous
jobs of mending, pastry making and
pickling, that she has found no time to
curl her hair and put on her best gown
to meet you, what do you do?
wmcu IS YOUR WAV?
Do you, like a dear old sympathizing
fellow, take her worn face into a warm
embrace and whisper in her ear: "Never
mind, dearie; I have got home, and we'll
share the cares for the rest of the day.
You go and rest j-ourself while I put
Johnnie and Trot and baby to bed?" Do
you see that she sits in the easiest chair
while you skip around and minister to
her wants? Do you keep silent while she
reads the evening paper (to herself), and
are you mindful of draughts and slam
ming doors while she takes her ease in
slipixred content? Do the stars dance
me rtewport, ana uoc-s the moon sing
psalm tunes? Just about as much as you
do all this. V ou expect the hushed home,
and the siesta with the paper, and tho
slippers for yourself, to be sure, and if
you don't get them you think you're ter
ribly abused, and ten to one flounce off
to the club to escape the noise and con
fusion, but you never take it into your
head to consider that the day has been
just as long, and just as busy, and a
thousand times more full of petty cares
for her as for you.
You bolt into the house, and the first
thing you say is: "Why isn't 6upper
ready? I'm as hungry as a hound!"
"Great Scott! Can't you keep that child
quiet?" or, "What's the use of burning
so much coal? Turn off the damper!
You are enough to ruin a Vanderbilt!"
That's tho keynote of the song you sing,
and yet you think it is dreadful if she
ever makes a remark harsher than the
bleat of a lamb. Suppose you had been
a hansom cab driver, a board of trade
man, cook in a restaurant, cash boy for
a dry goods house, a kindergarten teacher
and a hospital nurse all combined for the
whole day long, wouldn't you be more
tired, and wouldn't there be more excuse
for your irritability than when you have
simply attended to a single systematized
branch of business.

And next, how do you entertain your
wile evenings? Jf ypu, were invited into
a neighbor's house to spend a couple of
ho::rs with his wife and daughter, how
would you entertain them, I wonder?
Why, you would put a posy in your but
tonhole, and slick up your hair, and blow
a little perfume out of the atomiser all
over yourself, Sfld throughout the even
ing you would overflow with bright
anecdotes and be so racy and charming
tnat ai ter you had gone away everybody
would say: "What a perfectly delightful
man Mr. Perkins is! What good com
pany!" Now let us see, sir, how you entertain
your wife. You stand in front of he
fire and pick your. te.etl a wooden
toothpiPk until she starts to put the chil
dren to bed, and every now and then
you make a few cheerful remarks about
the scarcity of money and the general
cussedness of children who run through
shoes and clothes so fast. When the
time comes that all is still and every
thing nicely adapted for a chat or a game,
you draw out your miserable newspaper
and begin to read. And you read that
paper dj ypyrgelf, word for word, "and
line for line, straight through from edi
torial to market report, as if it contained
the secret of youth, wealth and eternal
salvation! In the same way one might
drink soda water by the pailful, or con
sume caramels by the ton!
Newspapers, read by husbands in selfish
solitude, are answerable, for. many wifely
heartaches. Hqw naany good stories and
racy anecdotes do you tell your wife to
make her laugh? How many roses do
you pin on your coat and how careful
are you of your appearance ia the long
evenings, when there is nobody by but
her to be captivated by your charms and
bewildered by your manly beauty? There
is just exactly as much excuse for her
(and a little more, it may be,) if her dress
is slatternly and her hair untidy as the
is fof j-wu. khd thel is precious little for
either of you.
You excuse your indifference and
neglect and the withdrawal of fond
and foolish attentions, just as dear to
her . at forty as at twenty, with the
thought: "O, well, she knows I love her;
what's the use of 'spooning at our age?"
By and by there, will cornea, tiiua wTienTy on
