At any rate, I'm pretty sure they're net sumo

And while they're many st as good as those I
used to know,
There're scorns and soores among them that aro
only so and so.
We used to always take a man exactly as he
said,
Bat now its safe to take him just the other way
instead.
It does my heart just lots of good to moot once

I wouldn't say that men to -day are less the
friends of truth,
Because they seem to diger from those I knew
in youth.
Those statements I refuse to make but this I
freely say,
Those people please me quite as well as those I
meet to -day.
Their hearts and hands wore honest and their
lives held little guile,

We're wiser than they used to be, we may be
weaker too,
And good old homespun honesty may less our

These later days we all are bent on getting rich
so fast,
We haven't time to think of things they thought

We're wildly striving after gold we rueh and

ment, and after a few applications the
downy sprouts may be seen. The follow-
&ing procedure is to be repeated daily :
1. The scalp should be lathered well with
a strong tar sheep for ten minutes.
2. This lather is to be removed with
lukewarm water, followed by colder water
in abundance ; then the eoelp is to be dried.
• 3. A. solution of bichloride of mercury, 1
to 900, the menstruum being equal parts of
water, glycerine, and cologne or alcohol, is
to be rubbed on. •
4. The scalp is then robbed dry with a
• solution containing beta-napthol, 1 part,
and absolute alohoI, 200 parts.
5. The final atop in the process is an
anointing of the scalp with an unguent con-
taining 2 parte of ealioylio acid, 3 parts of
tincture of benzoin, and 100 parte of nests.
foot oil.
This treatment should be persisted in for
a period of six woeke or longer. Lasser,
who, by the way, is the secretary-general to
the International Congress of this year,
has done mnoh to awaken the profession
from the lethargic state into which it had
fallen in regard to the treatment of alopecia.
He is reported to have treated a thousand

The Advertisement.
Did yon ever think what your advertise-
ment in the newspapers is doing for you ?
When you close your store in the evening
:and go home to your fireside and family,
not thinking about your business at all,
then it is that the paper is being pored over
,in hundreds of homes -the homes from
which your trade is drawn. And there is
your advertisement doing its work, silently
but surely, and if you have taken pains to
make it attractive its work will be all the
more effective. This has been repeated
over and over again, and is no doubt what
inspired some writer to Doll newspaper ad.

Railroad in the Desert.
'French scientific men and engineers are

across the desert of Sahara. It is claimed

which she is possessed. French engineers,
in fact, seem particularly sotive just now.

No voice has rung out clearer for the pro-
bibition of the Sunday saloon than that of
Terence V. 1'owderly, that leader of the
wage -workers, when fame is burnished by
every blow that falls on him from foes
within and fops without the labor damp. It
is being proved that intemperance is most
prevalent where the lecture of toil are long,
because overwork drives men to drinking,
hence the eight-hour law finds steadily
more favor with our temperance people.
The fate of factory girls is being thought
about, and "the slavish everwork that
drives them into the saloon at night" when
"they come out so tired, thirsty and ex.
belated from working steadily so long and
breathing the noxious effluvia from the
grease and other ingredients used in the
mills." This is especially true of eastern
factories, and temperance people might
wisely clasp hands with the labor reform:

Riches and rich people are naturally ex-
clusive. Genius is hospitable in mind as
well as heart ; it is universal in its sympa.
thies, a type and a forerunner of what
average humanity shall yet become. De-
livered from the everlasting struggle for
life's three necessities, food, clothes and
shelter (for if is a significant fact that the
fourth necessity, something to drink, bas
fall and free natural supply 1) human
beings still enjoy their first opportunity for
individual development; for the culture of
their best and highest gifts. Nobody has
the smallest conception of wbat mankind
shall grow to be when the first question is
never, " How shall I live ? " but always
"How can I best develop my highest pos.
sibilities?" This will come only when ell
avenues of training are freely open to no all,
and every opportunity of growth is at the
beck of each.
That the aims of the new labor reformers
called " Nationalists " may be more clearly
seen, I publish them in their own language :
" Society is awakening to new light upon
sooial problems. We do not see all light.
We know no sudden panacea that will cure
all social ill ; we do not believe that it is
yet day ; bat do believe that it is dawn,
that we may see at least in what direction
the day will break. Thither we point,
gladly communicating to others what light
we have, more gladly weloomingall further
light from any who may see more. The
following are the positions in which we see
the light
First. The basing of all social, political
and industrial relations on the Fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man, in the
spirit and according to the teaohings of
Jesus Christ.
Second. Beginning with the inner and
working toward the outer. We see small
hope in simple system. The spirit giveth
life. Systems are important aid, but only
aide. National life must be educated,
character must be developed, before any
system can bear good fruit. We would
remember this; we would begin with the
inner life. We world not seek to system-
atize humanity onto perfection, but to
Christianize society into brotherhood.
Third. Molding the social order.
Christianity does not concern the individual
alone. Christ preaobed a social gospel.
There is a social law of God. Men to -day
forget this, As individuals they strive to
apply their Christianity in business, and
largely fail. Business itself today is
wrong. It rests upon a negation of the
social law. Eaoh man is for himself, each
company for itself, It is based on compet-
itive strife for profits. This is the exact
opposite of Christianity. Christianity
says: "Let no man Beek his own, bat
each his neighbor's good " To attempt,
therefore, to apply Christianity to modern
business is to attempt to be Christian in
an nn -Christian way; it is to build obeli.
encs to Christ on the sands of disobedience.
It can not be done. We most change the
system. We must found business upon
social law. Combination must take the
place of competition ; we must have a
system in which business shall be parried
on, not for private profits, but for the pub-
lic good. We mast apply our Christianity
to the social order.
Fourth. We view the lack of social order
as the main canoe of present social ills.
We find here the main cause of the eviio
that to -day threaten society and the
Chorale ; plutocracy, Mammon worship,
panperiem, poverty, unbelief, immorality,
intemperance, prostitution, crime. Re-
forms upon these speoial lines oan there-
fore only alleviate, not cure, the cause being
left untouched,
Fifth. The development of Christ -
an
Socialism our need today. We mean by
this no fixed cast-iron system of anynature,
no magic panacea of any description, no
sudden transformation of any sort, but (1)
contentment to proceed one step at a time ;
(2) leaving to science and experience the
exact form that society should adopt, yet
(3) ever gradually and thoughtfully pro -
(Raiding general goal ofasson
ia-
tion ; an association (1) fraternal and not

se the gift of God equally to alt His chil-
dren ; (5) capital and all means of industry
to bo held and controlled in some way by
the community as a whole, and operated
for the benefit of the community equitably
in all its parts ; thus realizing at, the last
the ideal of Christian Socialism, the Father-
hood of God, the Brotherhood of Man, the
spirit of Jesus Christ,

Invention doubles the manufacturing
power of the civilized world every seven
years. For exempla, a type•settiog
machine has just been invented whioh will
reduce the demand for compositors fifty
per Dent. Anarchists say they will destroy
machinery, but that would be idiotic, not
to say fiendish. Instead of that, we must
reduce the hours of labor, and as monopo.
lies multiply, humanity will in some future
age be very likely to declare just one huge
monopoly, and that will be humanity
itself. We shall then have simply swung
around to the New Testament basis, and
reached the day when all men's weal is
made to be each man's care, by the very
construction of society and constitution of
government.

John Burns, is like Mr. PowderIy,

urged the men to keep clear of the gin
shops. They even secured 1,200 signatnree

on, and pleaded with the men to be con-
siderate towards their wives and children,
and to lead pure lives. I sometimes think
it looks as if modern chivalry was threat-
ening to make its home with the leaders of
the modern labor movement.
The most significant word that we, as
temperance experts, oan send to our future
allies of the labor camp is this :

trol legislation inyour interest; but mean-
while you support the saloon, and that

Tolstoi Defends his Work.
Count Tolstoi, author of the " Krentzer
Sonata," publisher an article in the Uni-
versal Review, in response to numberless
letters he has received concerning his work.
In the article he defends the morality of
the " Kreutzer Sonata," and declares that
society rots through wrong ideas of love,
of which the physical side and not the
spirituel side is cultivated. Love's varioue
developments, he says, are not a fitting
subject to consume the best energies of
men. Poeta and romancers have exalted
love to undue importance. He declares,
further, that service to God and humanity,
to science and arts, and to one's country,
is far beyond personal enjoyment.

THE practical New Yorkers are having a

case. One case related i6 that of a sleek,
well-dressed hog on an elevated train who
thrust himself into a seat jast as a lady
was about to take it, giving her a rude push
at the same time. A gentleman promptly
tendered the lady a seat and at the same
instant a aeries of grunts-" U-n-g.h 1
G-u-n.g-h 1 G-n-n•g-h 1" proceeded from
behind several •newspapers. The hog
affected indifference behind bis own paper
for a moment, but the chorus of grunts
increased all over the oar. The hog, red as
a beet, finally glared around, but could find
no one to pick a quarrel with. Still the
grants ; and finally at the next station the
hog bolted for the door followed by grunts
and an explosion of laughter. Another hog
on another train was punished in the same
way for spitting tobacco juice on a lady's
dress. It was unintentional, but he had no
right to eject the filthy stream in the car
any how, and his hoggishness was glad to
fly from the oar at the first station. So
long as this form of rebuke ie properly
administered it will do good. There ere,

AN EVIL TO ]Int OUEVII.IsD.
The land question is making its way in
the United States Congrese, The other
day Representative (Wee, of Alabama,,
from the Committee on the Judiciary,
reported to the Hoose the bill toprohibit
aliens from acquiring title to or owning
lands within the United States. An
elaborate report accompanied the bill. In
it the committee says the power of the
Government to totally exclude aliens from.
corning within its jarisdiation, as has been
done in the case of the Chinese, no one
questions. This sovereign power certainly
includes the lesser one of defining wbat
property rights they may exercise after
they are admitted, and daringthe continu-
ance of their alien condition. The report
continues :
" Your committee ascertained with
reasonable certainty, that pertain noble.
men of Europe, principally Englishmen,
have acquired, and now own, in the aggre•
gate about twenty -ane million acres of
land within the United States. We
have not sufficient information to
state the quantity owned by entitled
aliens ; nor is it so important, as it is gen.
orally held in smaller bodies. This alien,
non-resident ownerehip will, in the coarse
of time, lead to a system of landlordism
incompatible with the best interests and
free institutions of the United States. The
foundation of thole a system is being laid
broadly in the Western States and Terri-
tories.
"The avarice and enterprise of European
capitalists have paused them to invest
many millions in American railroad and
land bonds, covering perhaps 100,000,000
sores, the greater part of which, under
foreclosure rales, will most likely before
many years become the property of these
foreign landholders in addition to their.
present princely possessions.
" This aggressive foreign capital is not
confined to the lands it has purchased, but
overleaping its boundaries has caused hun-
dreds of miles of the pubilo domain to be
tensed up for the grazing of vast herds of
cattle and set at defiance the rights of the
honest brit humble settlers."
The bill proposes to plane these aliens
tinder the disabilities of the civil law as to
all future attempts to acquire Iande in the
United States. In other words the report
says the bill is a deolaration spinet ab.
eentee landlordism. It ' declares all
foreign born persona, who have not
been naturalized, incapable of taking
the title toytands anywhere within the
United States, except a leasehold for not
exceeding five years, and it has no retro-
active, but a proepeotive operation. It also
contains a provision which will compel
alien landowners to cease to be snob or to
become citizens of the United States within
ten years. The bill, the report says, would
prevent any more abuses like that of a
Mr. Scully, who resides in England and is
a subject of the Queen, but owns ninety
thousand acres in Illinois, occupied by
tenants, mostly ignorant foreigners, from
whom he receives as rent $200,000 yearly
and expends it in Europe. The Soheuley
estate of about 2,000 sores, within the
limits of >5itteburg and Allegheny, from
the rents of which the Soheuleys, who are
subjeote of the British Queen, draw
annually not less than $100,000, is another
instance of alien landlordism in America.
The tenth census shows that the United
States has 570,000 tenant farmers, the
largest number possessed by any nation in
the world.
In conclusion the report Bays : " With
the natural increase in population and the
five hundred thousand foreigners who flock
to our shores annually and by competition
are reducing the wages of labor, making
the battle of life harder to win, how, a few
years hence, to provide homes for our poor
people is a problem for the American
statesmen to solve. The multiplication of
the owners of the soil is a corresponding
enlargement of the number of patriots, and
every landowner in this country should
owe allegiance to the United States."
Absenteeism is undoubtedly the worst
phase of landlordism, but when Congress
shall have dealt with it effectually, there
will be something more to do. Even reef
dent landlordism is an evil. Suppose Mr.
Scully should remove to the United States,
take the oath of allegiance, end then eon -
tithe to collect his vast rents, his tenants
would still suffer. Let the land rent go
where it properly belongs, into' the pnblio
treasury, in relief of all other taxation, and
then the people will proaper, because ail
they earn will be theirs, for their own nee
and enjoyment. The drones of society will
then bave to go to work or starve. ,Freed
from the burden of feeding the drons, the
workers will have plenty to live upon with
comfort.

eighth in the table at precedence and im-
mediately after the Chief Juetioe of Bengal.
In England the order of "precedence
among men " after the sovereign proceeds
as follows : (1) Prince of Wales ; (2)
younger sone of the sovereign; (3) grand.
eons of the sovereign; (4) brothers of the
sovereign ; (5) uncles of the sovereign ; (6)
nephews of the sovereign ; (7) Archbishop
of Canterbury, Space will not permit
repeating the table down to (28) " bishops,"
or the final (63) " gentlemen." A similar
table of 50 numbers regulates and defines
the " precedence of women," and ends with
" gentlewomen."
Fruit Canning.
Canning is a much less troublesome and
mare economical method of putting up fruit
than the oldfashioned pound for pound
preserves of oar grandmothers' days ; be-
sides it retains much more of the natural
flavor of fresh fruit.
When fruit fails to keep, there is always
a cause, and if the housekeeper who loses
her fruit will investigate it she will soon
discover the remedy.
Sager is not es-eutial in panning fruit, as
it takes no part iu the preservation. For
canning always select sound, fresh fruit, as
if at all decayed it will ferment, thus onus-
ing sugar and time to be lost.
Large, perfect fruit being selected, it
should be pared, thrown into cold water to
prevent discoloring ; if not tender, it should
first be boiled in clear water, then in a thin,
syrup, as directed in various recipes.
Berries and all small fruits will be found
to retain their color and shape more per.
fectly if sugared and allowed to stand
several hours before cooking. Some good
authorities on the subject .suggest the use
of a little alum, added to the sugar, to
harden the fruit.
A difference of opinicn exists as to the
best cane, though, doubtless, there are
none better than the large mouthed self-
sealing jars with porcelain -lined tops.
These should be thoroughly heated before
filling, and filled quickly through a funnel ;
the fruit should be well pushed down, the
jars filled to the top and the tops screwed
on without delay. After sealing they should
be wiped off and set in a moderately warm
place over night. In the morning the tops
should be given another turn to tighten
them, and then the fruit should be sat in a
cool,,dry, dark place. All fruit should be
examined every ^ few days for a week or
more to see if in good condition.
If these direotians are followed, the beat
auger need and not too large quantities of
fruit cooked at one time, the result can not
fall to be satisfactory.
