FAULT-FINDING.
Several years ago there travel
ed round iu the newspapers a lit
tle item about a quaint epitaph
which was said to have been found
iu a remote village churchyard,
but perhaps originated in the
mind of some industrious and im
aginative writer. The legend on
tho tomb of tho father of the fam
ily, inscribed by the direction of
'his widow, was ; "lie made home
pleasant." it requires a fortu
nate assemblage of good qualities
to make a pleasant home, but
however strong and good and true
the members of a household may
be, a pleasant home will not be
the result when a member of the
family is a chronic fault-tinder.
The constant nagging, querulous
uess, complaining, dissatisfaction
and tho inveterate habit of seeing
and speaking about the disagree
able side of thiugs, are traits
which will embitter the finest na
tures, transform a home which
has every reason to be happy in
to a distressful abode, and in tho
end ruin the spirit and the char
acter of the young people who
are subject to unreasonable and
contemptible cavilling and com
plaint. The late J. j. Holland,
speaking on the subject, said :
"Many mean thiugs are
done m the family for which
moods are put forward as the
excuse when the moods them
selves are the most inexcus
able things of all. A man or
a woman iu tolerable health
1ms no moral right to indulge
iu au unpleasant mood."
The evil effects of fault-finding
are clearly seen aud felt iu tho
family, but ceaseless complaining
is a cause of uuhappincss and of
strife in any relation of life. By
fault-finding just criticism is not
meant. The parent who fails to
correct aud guide his children in
an imperative duty, butfault-fi.id-itig
is the habit of un reasonable
complaining. Theophrastus, a
disciple of Plato, described aes
ago the salient trait of the fault
finding as accurately as any oue :
"A causeless complaint is
au expostulation framed up
ou no ground. These are tho
mauners of a querulous, way
ward man : lie is dis
pleased with Jupiter, not on
ly if he does not rain, but if
ho sends it late; and finding
a purse ou the way, he com
plahjeth that he never found
any great treasure. If
his friends do contribute to
supply his wauts, and if somo
one say to him : 'Now be
cheerful, now be merry' 'I
have great cause,' he will say
'when I must repay this mon
ey back again aud bo behold
ing for it beside.' "
Another ancient writer re
marked that tho yielding to the
propensity to tind fault causes
the mind to become ulcerated,
peevish, querulous, thin and weak
and sensitive to a wound from
slight causes, which tho healthy
aud strong mind would not notice
or would not heed. It is a pecu
liarity of these jaundiced minds
that they cannot by any possibil
ity see the good aud the pleasing
aud tho valuable in any person or
in any performance, but having
acquired the mousing habit, dwell
upon the slightest flaw or take
tho pains to hunt for Haws where
nono actually exists.
It was said of a certain class in
. England at ouo time that their
"only real cause of complaint was
'that they could no longer find a
grievance," and so it is with the
confirmed and detestable fault-
finders whoso habits poison their
own characters and natures and
render miserable all with whom
they are brought in contact
Fault finding is often the result
of a desire on tho part of the weak
und small minded to receive more
consideration than their defective
natural power entitlo them Ux
Lord Uacon says that "such dia-
positions arc tho very errors of
nature," and that tho habit is
"peculiar to narrow minds." Dr.
Harrow, the celebrated English
divine, who is now known to tho
general reader chiefly by his fam
ous definition of wit, also describ
ed in a notable way the fault-finding
habit and the poisonous state
of mind which it denotos :
"An honest aud charitable
mind disposes us. when we
see any man endued with
good qualities and pursuing
a tenor of good practice, to
esteem such a person, to com
mend him, to interpret whnt
he doeth to the best, not to
suspect any ill of him, or t
seek anv exception against
him, Ihitou the con
trary, it is the property of a
detractor, when ho seetli a
worthy person, whom he doth
not effect, or whom he is con
cerned to wrong, to survey
him thoroughly, and to sift all
his actions, with intent to de
cry some failing or any sem
blauce of a fault, by which he
may disparage him; when he
vieweth any good action ho
peereth into it, laboring to
espy some pretense, to dero
gate from tho commendation
apparently belonging to it.
As good nature and ingenu
ous disposition incline men
to observe, like and commend
what appeareth best in our
neighbor; so malignancy of
temper and heart promoteth
toespy and catch at the worst;
one, as a bee, gathereth hon
ey out of any herb; the other,
as a spider, sucketh poison
out of tho sweetest flower."
P08T OFFICE CLASSIFICATION.
"It is quite surprising tho
number of letters the Post Office
Department will receive during
the course ot a year from all sec
tions of the country making in
quiry as to the different classes
of Post Offices ; what they are,
how they are advanced from class
to class, tne salaries anacompen- ;
sations of postmasters in the dif-'
ferent grades and the process of
'relegating' Presidential post of !
fices back to tho fourth class and
other queries along this line,'
said an old post oflice inspector
recently.
"It is possible to give this in
formation in a succinct and com
prehensive form. While there
are three classes of Presidential
post offices, the department in
the preparation of its appoint
ment papers divides all post of
fices into but two classes Presi
dential and fourth class.
"A Presidential office is an of
fice where the salary of the post
master amounts to not loss than
270 per quarter for four consec
utive quarters, and the gross re
ceipts for the same time amounts
to $1900. When an office has p.tid
the above amount for four con
secutive quarters and the gross
receipts have amounted to $H'00,
or more, it is then advanced to
the Presidential class.
"A first-class Presidential of
fice is one in which the gross re
ceipts are over 40,000 per an
num, the salary of the postmas
ter of the same being from $3000
to 0000. A second class office is
one where tho gross receipts
amount to $000 and not exceed
ing 40,000 per annum, the sala
ry of the postmaster of tho same
being from 2000 to 21)00 per an
num. A third class office is one
where the gross receipts are 1,
900 and not exceeding 8000 per
annum, the salary of tho post
master of this class being from
1000 to 1900 per annum.
'Fourth class post offices com
prise all offices where the re
ceipts are less than 1900 per an
num, or where the. compensation
of the postmaster does not
amount to 230 per quarter for
four consecutive quarters.
"Fourth class postmasters are
allowed as compensation the
wliolo of the box rents collected
at their offices and commissions
on cancellations of matter actual
ly mailed at their offices and ou
amounts received from waste pa
per, etc., sold as follows : On tho
first 50 or less per quarter, 100
per cent.; on the next 100 or less
per quarter, CO per cent.; on the
next 200 or loss per quarter, 50
per cent., and ou all the balance,
40 per cent., tho samo to t)0 as
certained and allowed by the Au
ditor for the Post Office Depart
ment in the settlement of the ac
counts. "When a Presidential post of
fice fails to come up to the mini
mum standard under the rules it
is 'relegated' to the fourth class,
tho postmaster's regular salary
ceasing and his official income bo
coining dependent upoa his com
missions. Thu even Prosiden-
tial post ol'ices wore relrgated to i
tho fourth class this past year, j
while thirty-seven fourth class ;
rmst offices were advanced to tho !
'residential class." Washing-

FOR THE LITTLE ONES,
How a Little Dutch Boy Became a
Great Physician.
Among the lives of eminent per
4ons recorded by Dr. Johnson is
that of lferninn Boerlinavc, a very
telelinited Dutch physician. From
liis curly childhood young Boer
:uavc whs extremely fond of lenrn
ing, and very hooh his thoughts
turned to the study of medicine.
When he was little more than elev
en years old, ho was afflicted with a
painful disease in his left thigh, and
none of the surgeons or physicians
could do him nny good. This strange
hoy, by constant experiment and
careful study of his own case, suc
ceeded in curing himself.
lie was luoht persevering and suc
cessful in his studies, gaining muny
prizes, and when he became a pro-ft.-isor
he did a great deal for the
cause of learning, especially of mod
iciil science.
Though a strong man, ho had
many illnesses, and thus ho learned
to fuel for his patients.
Dr. lSoerhimve used to tell his
friends that when ho lav whole days
and nights without sleep and in
great pain nothing gave him so
much relief as thinking about his
studies anil repeating from memory
tho many things which he had read
and learned, lie was always patient
under sufi'cring, and the more he
hud to hear the more lie tried to
ease the pains of others. C. J.

Indian Prayer Sticks.
Those acquainted with Indian cus
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious and
social ceremonies of the red men.
Particularly among the Xavajos and
Pueblos are these plume emblems
believed to have the utmost ellicacy
for good or hud.
All about any Pueblo town may
be seen carefully whittled sticks,
each with a tuft of downy feathers,
generally white ones, bound at the
top oC it. They are prayer sticks
and are quite as curious as the pray
er wheels of Burma and the paper
prayers of the Chinese.
The feathers, stick and manner
of tying the feathers vary according
to the nature of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask a favor of
the "Trues" prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then,
taking it to a proper spot, he prays
to those above und, planting his
stick, leaves it to continue his peti
tion. Hobson's Choice.

How Peter Csr.'v.i: Got One of the
Pope's White 8kulicaps.
His holiness, the pope, naturally
writes very little himself, Fays Lon

the hardest beings in the world to
get an autograph from. One of the
most attached and devoted servants
he has in his household is an Amer
ican, who holds a position in the
famous guard. lVter Donahue
that is his name was anxious to
get something which would ahvavs
remind him'of the pope, Hiid he ask
ed for two things during one of the
periods when he was on duty at the
Vatican. One was one of the little
white skullenp3 which his holiness
wears and the other was an au'.o-.
graph. The pope, who is very af
fable and quite without airs with
those who arc in his immediate en
tourage, refused to give the skull
cap perhaps there was some rea
son of cti(iiettc against it in the
iron code of papal ceremony but
he held down ids head playfully one
day and allowed my friend to snatch
the skullcap. ' The autograph my
friend obtained by making out a
check in the pope's own name so
that it required the pope's indorse
ment to be cashed. I taw tho auto
graph. It was very small, very
round, very regular, not unlike the
autogrnph of Thackeray.
Only a Man.
Bishop Talbot of central Pennsyl

the far west, where such an ecclesi-
Z :
"POOIl! IT'S ONI, A MAS!"
i astical dignitary was regarded with
tho uncertainty due to awe and ig
' norancc. The bishop tells of his
j arrival one day at the railway sta
! tion of a town where he was to hold
! services and where there had never
j been a bishop, lie found the plat
form crowded with curious country
I folk. As ho stepped from his cur
the local clergyman came forward
and, shaking hands, said, "Bishop,
I'm glad to see you." Whereupon a
small boy in the crowd exclaimed in
tones of keen disappointment:
j "Pooh! It's only a man!"

At tho close of tho civil war Gen
eral Shafter was an applicant for a
first lieutenancy in the reorganized
army and had working in his behalf
a congressman whose knowledge of
army alfairs was very limited. One
day this congressman sent him the
following message: "Dear Shafter-
! I have just returned from a visit to
the secretary of war. I find that it
will bo impossible to have you ap
pointed a iirst lieutenant, as that
rank is now full. However, the sec
retary is willing to appoint you a
lieutenant colonel, which is the next
best thing. Will that do?" A sim
ilar story is told of au applicant for
a clerkship who wrote to his con
gressman iu such a bad scrawl that
the request jvas supposed to be for a
colonelcy. The congressman replied
that there was no colonelcies va
