It was the consensus of opinion that the most discouraging outlook for agriculture was found in the liict that too many young men were leaving the farm. Statistics and ob- strongly tend to show that the urban population is rapidly increasing, while that of the rural districts Is increasing at far less rate. The casual observer might conclude that this is to the advantage of the farmer, as the tendency Is to the deceasing of producers and the increasing: of consumers.

1. A HUSBAND'S LINE. Easily Won and Often Carelessly Lost. Good Hoalth Uie Secret, as Sorrowful Wires Knuw. A Hint to Women They Will Sot Be Slow to Take.

Women wlo husbands by their beauty. It is a mistake to think that a man does not not pay much attention, to his wife's beauty after marriage. He Is always charmed by her good looks, vivacity and bright appearance. These attributes of beauty depend entirely on her maintaining good health. The prudent wife, therefore, will not allow her personal attractions to fade.

She will not permit her complexion to lose its roses, her face to become sallow, her lips purple or colorless, her eyes heavy and croiw's feet to appear under the eyelids through the weakness, nervousness, ailments, and the cares and worried so common to women. She cannot be bright, joyous and happy with the weight or female weakness and dinease dragging her down with its train of weakening and exhaust- Ing symptoms, headache, backache and nervous exhaustion. Mrs. May Austin Street, Buffalo, N. "For two years I was unable to do any hard work of any kind.

I was so miserable, and no one can imagine what hours I put in. 1 felt so ead and down-hearted all the time, and sometimes felt as It I would be glad it I cculd die, ror was a misery to live and feel as I did. I sometimes thought I should lose my mind. I had the headache, and I could not sleep at times. I tried many medicines, but they did me no good.

At last I decided to try Dr. Greene's Nervnira blood and nerve after taking two bottles I could sleep well, and my mind did not trouble me any more. I aoi now able to do all my'housework, which I have not done llor two vears before. I can say I am very thankful for what Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has done for me, and I gladly recommend It to all who suffer as I have suffered." Dr. Sreene's Nerrura Is the best female regulator, invlgorant and restorative in the world, and by giving women sound health and perfect strength, it restores the clear, delicate complexion, brightens the eyes with the sparkle of health, gives strength to the nerves and to the step, buoyancy to the spirit, and that tireless rigor which alone makes perfect happiness for women.

Dr. Greene, 148 State 111,, the most successful specialist in female complaints, can be consulted free, personally or by letter. Kibbou Sashes. Ribbon sashes are worn in various widths. From 3 inches to 10 or 12 describes the limit each way.

The excessively wide styles once poptilar are not used this winter, and the very broadest sashes are of transparent texture. A sash that is not too wide arid that falls to the skirt hem is as a rule far more becoming to the wearer than the one that is half length. Of course a very wide sash cannot be tied at the side. An innovation that has little to recommend it is a half length ribbon sash tied in this position. The Bow Hat.

The bow hat is the very latest It is an indescribable Japs.nesq.ue bow of black velvet, tied as only a Parisian that a celebrated knows how to tie a bow, ornamented solely by an aigret. Another of these new bow hats has a high Spanish comb of cut jet in place of the aigret. The universal becomingness of the Alsatian bow of some years ago suggests that this one, still more chic, will be an immense success. This is another valuable hint tor women of taste who have fairy fingers. Koyal Arcanum.

It Was Probably Supped In the Bnd by Reclp- ientg of the Proposed Government Employee's Reminiscences. WASHTS-GTON, Jan. was a very happy simile used by the assistant secretary of the treasury, Mr. Yander- lip. the other day, -when lie wished to convey that the department in which he presides becoming top heavy.

"The tree has become dead at the top," said he, aud then he showed how be purposed to lop off the twigs that had died or were moribund. Said twigs that cumbered the tree were all clerks over 70 years of age, whom he proposed to subject to a horizontal reduction of salary without regard to merit, connections, color or previous condition of servitude. The manner of doing it was not so happy as the is, the expression he inadvertently used was not, for it drew upon the unfortunate Vanderlip the of one of the able and virile house debaters. "They will be given," he added, "$900 a year, or a practical pension of $75 per month, which will enable them all to live comfortably." So it would if the most of them were not already drawing an average salary of $2,000 from the treasury and had their household established on a 12,000 basis. But the squeezing ol! a $2,000 clerk into a $900 hole is like the grocer's feat of getting five gallons of cider into a three gallon keg.

He admitted that it was "consid'ble strain on the kag!" A Civil Pension 'List, It was not, alas, from a tender regard for the aged officeholder that Congressman Moody called the attention of his colleagues to the "rat in the meal," the "Ethiopian in the wood pile," or whatever we may designate the innocent suggestion that fell from the lip of Mr. Vanderlip. In ids own words let him state it: "I am one of those who without reservation believe in what is commonly iriakj. tothfr sometf CONGRESSMAN- TV. H.

MOODT. known as the merit system of the civil service. But I believe the proposition which has been advanced by a high official of one of the departments of the government deserves to be met by congress at the very threshold. If it is true that we have at.y system of the pnblic service the logical result of which is the establishment of a civil pension list then it is true that the American people, by a majority of 100 to 1, stand ready to wipe out that system." There was the milk in the But after Mr. Moody had stripped off the hnsk and punctured the shell the milk all ran out and left the nnt as dry as a chip.

Congressman Moody represents in the house the "glorious old Essex" district, and comes from the birthplace of the poet Whittier, nailing from Haverhill, on the historic Merrimac. Elected to succeed the late General Cogswell in the Fifty-fourth congress, he was re-elected to the Fifty- fifth. He had a bard row to hoe, coming as he did after a general favorite like he has vindicated the choice of his friends, and is now considered one of the leaders of the Bay State delegation. The applause his remarks elicited and the debate they precipitated showed unmistakably that he had touched a popn- lar chord, and that the American people, through representatives in congress, really had decided opinions on this question. The vital point is that ic impinges upon two other related topics civil service and the pensions.

Now, if there is any one question our legislators dislike to handle and one they approach with mingled emotions ic is nhat of civil service. Mis- gnided politicians and outside pressure have united to bring on a discussion of its merits and demerits at an early day. It really looks as though it will be likely to get a mauling in the house of its erstwhile friends. That an increase of the pension rolls, as a legitimate outcome of civil service regulations, should be precipitated at this juncture to say the least, unfortunate. The secretary of the treasury softens the blow of tlie impending as by call- in? this degradation of the old clerks a transfer to die "roll of is, with one hand he spreads on magnificently engrossed parchment a record of their long and arduous services, but with the other he cues their salaries in halves- As between the publicity of their meritorious deeds and the retention of 'their have but one opinion.

Their attitude is that of Pat, the poirter, who, when told that if he would smbmit to a decrease of pay be would somn time be advanced with halo of glory, replied: "It ain't halo I want It's partaties!" I hare been around to see some of the recipient of Secretary Gage's honorarium and have found them unanimous in this opinion. They look upon the stirring np of the -waters of the treasury pool as entirely a WOTK of supererogation. The government officeholder reminds! me often of tha manatees I used to shoot down in Florida. Yon might hunt for days and never see a manatee, but if you could get a view of the river bottom there you would see them qnietly feeding' on tae grass that grows there. Only when they come up to blow can yon get shot at them.

Beneath the quiet surface of the Washiugtonian waters are thousands or busily feeding who have learned, uy sad experience with the persistent hunters for the press, that it is best for them not to come tip to blow; I cite this to show how difficult it is to obtain an unbiased opinion on interesting topic. But sometimes an will exude from one iu an unguarded moment, and it is by carefully watching for it and promptly bottling it that it is captured. It seems that there are S3 clerks above 70 years of age in the treasury alone and" a goodly proportion of aged public servants in the other departments. There are 8 of the age of 70, 4 of 10 at 72, 5 at 73, 4 at 74, 8 at 75, 5 af. 76, 4 at 77, 2 at 78, 4 at 79, 3 at SO, at 81, 2 at 82, 2 at S3, latSo.

Twenty- five of this total are old soldiers and all of them veterans in the service. I met, week before last, one of the oldest of these clerks, who bas been for half a century in government employ. He was not ac that, time cowering beneath the secretary's sword of Damocles, and so he gave me generously of his ample leisure. His memory of Washington events extended back to the time of Jackson's administration, and he had met every president, from "Old Hickory" to the present incumbent of the presidential chair. He attended the debates of that great triumvirate, Webster, Clay and Calhoun, and retains vivid impressions of them all.

He even saw John Randolph, who was pointed out to him one day as he was hurrying toward the capitol. Webster's Penknife. Of Daniel Webster he has a number of anecdotes. "Have I ever seen him?" he answered to my query. indeed, and I have here a relic that was left rue after his death." The aged clerk went over to his desk and took from a drawer a small pearl handled knife, with his own initials engraved on the silver plate.

It was one of the knives furnished to members and congressional was brought into his office, he says, by the great "expounder" himself. Taking it out of his pocket, Mr. Webster showed it to my aged friend and at the same time asked him what his initials were. He told him. "Take that knife, said Daniel, "aud have them engraved on that plate." He did so and a few days later took the knife to Mr.

Webster. He naturally concluded the knife was intended for him. But, no. The great man cook it, looked at it approvingly aud then calmly put it in bis pocket, turned on his heel and strode away, leaving the clerk gazing after him in astonishment. This occurrence took place but a short time before Webster's death, hearing of which the clerk at ouce wrote to a gentleman who was at Marshfield at the time, detailing the circumstances and asking that the knife might be sent him, which request was complied with.

He thinks Mr. Webster intended to give him the knife, but that he forgot it in the abstraction of some great question and omitted to carry out his intention. At another time the "godlike Daniel" came to him and abruptly demanded if he had any money. He answered cautiously that he hadn't any with him at the office. "Have you got any at home?" "Yes.

a little." "Have you got "Yes." "Can you place your hands on it immediately?" "Yes, sir." "Bring it some." No other words were passed, no receipt was asked or taken, and in view of Mr. Webster's well known laxity as to money matters the most astonishing part of the transaction is that the money was returned on demand. After for what he thought was a reasonable length of time the clerk ventured to remind Mr. Webscer of that little obligation. "What?" said he, looking at and through him with his great glow ing eyes.

"Do I owe you $100?" "Yes, sir." "Well, here. Take that. I happen to have just the amount of the indebted An Old, Old Story. We might recall in this connection that alleged transaction between Eufus Cboate and Daniel Webster on Wali street, one day. Says Rnfns to Daniel: "Say.

Webster, I want to raise $1,000. Jnst indorse this note forme, will you?" "Why. blandly answers Daniel. "Bat while we're about it why not make it a couple? I'd liked a thousand myself." So the note was drawn for $2,000, indorsed by Webster and presented by Choate. They pocketed $1,000 apiece, but as to 'who jpaid the note I do not know, only it is pretty certain that Daniel didn't.

Now, after conversing with one whose memory extends back through many administrations, who has met and talked wir.h Jackson and Adams, with Polk and Tyler, Van Bnren and Pierce, with Lincoln and Grant, Gsrfield and Arthur, who has survived them all and who has conserved -within himself tra- iMtions of their timea, who shall venture to carp at the system which has permitted this venerable man to be preserved, a monument of the nines gone by?
