8 THE WILMINGTON .MESSENGER, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1897. REFLECTIVE AND SENTTIXTENTAIi i Modesty seems, at least, in the past, to have been a matter o custom rather than of fact. In the time of George III, of England the drapery of the wo men's gowns was of the scantiest; but no lady of delicacy ever showed her forehead. Some! young ladles who had been abrpad were considered bold be cause they wore their hair Madonna fashion. Ladies' no longer extremely young very generally, wore wigs; the princesses had their heads shaved and donned wigs ready dressed for the evening, to save time for the toilet, and widows almost always had their heads shaved. Joking may be a concomitant of hu mor, but it is not a necessary element. In fact a vein of sadness frequently runs through the highest manifesta tions of the humorous faculty. The humorist, seeing things in their true re lations, sets them before us by ironical exaggerations and inverted analogies in a, new and unexpected light In his presentation of life we find suddenly an element of truth embodied in ab surdity, an agreement in contrarieties, .which causes us to smile but at the same time to reflect. True humor never raises an empty laugh, Hartford Courant. -Then she took a course of cooking "and displays a nice diploma, The dishes she can make would beat a chef; '; '1 1 -,- Of the broadest kind of learning there's around her the aroma. She could talk you in a minute blind and deaf! But her husband, oh, her husband, stays at home to rock the cradle. As he nightly sits a-musing by the fire; And he washes up the dishes, and he . cleans knife, fork and ladle, And he buttons his suspenders on with wire! - " New York "World.

Ex-President Cleveland's speech at the Reform Club dinner in New York Saturday night was at once outspoken and disingenuous, bold and cowardly. Indianapolis Journal. One of the things that seem strange until one stops and thinks for a min ute, is the statement that there are more distilleries in Massachusetts than in Kentucky. Worcester Telegram. A Kansas paper asserts that "Chair man Butler is related to the middle-of-the-road populists by" no ties of Kan sanguinity." "Kansanguinity"- is ; prob ably the technical term for 'bleeding Kansas."

The senate leeches will cup the Dingley bill with the hope that it will look less bloated and dropsical when it "gets on the statute books.

There are quite a number of people who question Hon. Grover Cleveland's 512 per plate democracy. Washington Post. THE WAY OF THE WORLD. "A brilliant array of legal talent" is the announcement of one of the fea tures of a big will contest up east. The array will be literally shining with brilliants when the $800,000 involved is finally divided. The stories of the magnetic moun tains which exert an attraction on all vessels coming near them are not with out foundation in fact. The island Bornholm, in the Baltic, may be re garded as a huge magnet. Although the power of attraction is not so great as to draw nails and bolts out of ap proaching ships. . u- To prevent microbes of disease being transmitted from, one person to an other by means of drinking cups a newly patented device is formed of a metal tube to be inserted in the cup by the owner when drinking, the inte rior being filled with a composition which, acts as a firterer for the mater. The original Maga Charta, of Eng land, preserved in the Cottonian libra ry, has certain mutilations, presuma bly from a pair of shears. It is said Sir Richard Cotton, calling one day at the tailor's, discovered that that man was holding in his hand, ready to cut up for a pattern, a copy of the great Maga Charta, with all its appendages and seals. Young women who are dazzled by the charms of stage life may, find some thing interesting in the following sta tistics: "The majority of leading peo ple in road companies get but $50 a week or less. Three-fifths of the pro fession as a whole, including chorus girls, ballet and supernumeraries, av erage but about $15 a week, which, means an average of less than $9 when spread over the whole twelve months of the year. The other two-fifths do not average more than $33 a week, in- eluding stars, taking it for the year."

The trusts, we learn on their own authority, are merely "capital's last development," and anybody who ob jects to their activities is a "pestifer ous demagogue." Times are looking up for the demagogue. He has long "been in bad odor as a person if i low cunning, playing upon the ignorance and passions of the populace for his own advantage. Now, however, the name is to be applied to the citizen who protests against the. spoliation of the many by the leagued few; who ob jects to the government , being seized by wealth and run as an agency to in crease wealth's illegitimate profits; who defends the rights of the public as against thieving private interests.. If to be that is to be a demagogue (and the trust dictionary insists upon this definition) the difference between demagogy and patriotism disappears. Consulting the' same dictionary, we find that the citizen who knuckles to the trusts, the lawyer who hires out his brain and tongue to them, the poli tician who in return for his "service asks their support, the official who be comes their lackey we find that all these are good men, deserving well of their country. Similarly the newspa per which acts as the - attorney, the valet of predatory wealth, represents the reputable, high-minded, conserva tive. press,: whereas the newspaper that knows a thief when it sees him and lays the cudgel on his back in the com mon, interest is an incendiary sheet. New York Journal. Professor .William P. Trent, of the University of "Wisconsin, has discover ed that Thomas Jefferson was "vision ary, suspicious, easy-going, sensitive, ambitious, and careless," besides a number of other things which Profes sor Trent has felt conscientiously bound to put into a book for the Amer ican market. Perhaps it is all true, but it is not the whole of it. It would be easy to go on and say that "Washing-ton was hot-headed and a slave owner, that John Adams was fat, vain, and moved by a silly desire to imitate English royalty; that John Quincy Adams had many delusions about him self and wrote extremely bad poetry that Andrew Jackson fought duels, had street brawls, "and was obstinate to the last degree; that Webster drank; that Clay, gam bled, and that the very greatest men since their times have riaxl habits as bad as theirs, or worse. If this w;ere told in detail it would merely mean that great men are not demi-gods, but merely" men with hu man infirmities, many of which they never thoroughly master. The differ ence between them and some other men is that they have done something. Af- ter doing badly they tried again and did better. Instead of setting to work to find out and expose the infirmities of their betters they did their best to imitate their good qualities. They never ceased to be human, but they did cease to be drones or mere critics of the class who fancy they are prov ing their own superiority by demon strating1 the failures of others. New York World. It is not necessary to read Mr. Mc Master's history toknow that its high pretensions, have no basis and that it is a biase production entitled to no weight, whatever. We have before us the evidence which proves conclusively that Mr. McMaster is incapable of writing an impartial history. The evidence is Indubitable because it is furnished by Mr. McMaster himself. It seems that the Grand Army of the Republic or those who- presume to jstand for that organization, are not at all satisfied with the school histories heretofore written by northern men. They are too lenient to the south that is to say, they approach too nearly the character of real history. The pur pose of .the Grand Army in casting about for a history which shall ap peal to the spirit of sectionalism and prejudice that was rampant directly after the war is one that we cannot understand. There have been section al schoolhistories written by southern men, but these nistories have not been produced as the -formal demand of southern sentiment, and their success has not been such as to gratify those, who are responsible for them.. But the project of the Grand Army of the Republic is a different matter alto gether. ;Here we have the spectacle of the men who fought gallantly for the preservation of the union putting themselves behind a movement to per petuate the narrow prejudices of sec tionalism. Casting about for a man to produce a history entirely sectional. they found James Bach McMaster do ing business of a historical kind. They found that his services could "be secur ed,, and they employed him to carry out their purpose. He has completed the work, and in delivering the goods, he is quoted as saying: "I want it un derstood beyond doubt that in this history great southern generals in the civil warfare not condoned. General Lee, for example, was a man of edu cation and came from West Point. This military school is established to make soldiers who will stand by the govern- ment. If General Lee wished to de stroy the government he had no busi ness at West Point." Atlanta Consti tution. PEOPLE ALL ABOUT.

Mr. Harrison's condition was becoming very serious, when he commenced to take P. P. P., Lippman'3 Great Remedy. Its. enects were marked and immediate. Read his letter to us.

My system was also full of Malarfa and my condition was growing very serious ; I had no appetite, was losing strength and was completely broken down in health, but now my health is completely restored, and I can eat like a field laborer, without the slightest fear of any serious results. I take great pleasure in telling the world that P. P. P. did the grand work of restoring me to my accustomed health. Yours truly, JAMES S. HAR1USOK. Cleveland, O.
