From Harper's Young People. At least every thirty seconds he throws open the furnace door, and without a false motion or the slightest d y burls exactly three shovelfulls �dit•1 on the fire. He knows justhow to spill and spread it with a dexterous turn of the wrist. Before Albany is reached he must throw 8375 pounds of that coal into the fire, or nearly forty pounds a minute, or an average of forty-four pounds a mile. Then, too, he must know exactly where he is along the road, and when to drop his shovel and seize the bell -cord. He must ring the bell in passing through all town and villages. He muse know the proper instant to vault in- to his seat when important curves are reached to watch for signals. He must see that the steam dosen't vary, and he is proud to shout in your ear when you get near Albany, "She hasn't varied three pounds since we left New York." He must watch the water -gauge of the boiler, and is constantly kept changing the pumps apd seeing that they do their work properly. All the time he must keep throwing his forty-four pounds of coal on the fire every mile. It isn't long before he surprises you with another motion. He throws open the furnace door and thrusts a long, double -prong- ed fork into the fire. With a twist he prods the glowing mass, and when he pulls his fork out its teeth are cherry - red. Then comes the whirr of the shovel again, and the sound of the hamther as Tompkins breaks up the larger lumps of coal. When you approach M ontrose, near Peekskill, the engin e begins to slow down. If you look ahead you will see a narrow trough between the rails fill- ed with water. The engine is going to take on water at flying 'leap. Tomp- kins stands at the side of the tender with his his hand on a lever. Engineer Foyle suddenly startles you with a shrill whistle between his teeth that would put to shame the warning signal a New York newsboy gives to his gambling mates when a policeman comes in sight. Instantly the lever flies hack, and as you look at the wheels of the tender you see surging up among the trucks a torrent of water. It splashes and roars, and as you wonder if you won't he cart ied away, whistles front Foyle, sharper twoand Y shriller than the:first, warn Tompkins to pull up the scoop, and that the end of the water -trough is near. Then Tompkins goes back to his coal, his pumps, his pipe, his water -gauge, his bell, his watch for signals, and you ;eetvonder what new work he will do next. Before you are aware of it he touches you upon the knee, andenotions for you to raise your feet, while he turns on a hose and wets the floor of the cab to keep down the dust, after which he. sweeps up with a stubby hr om. Next he is shakingrdown the tes with a big steel lever that looks e the tiller of a large sail -boat. You now begin to take in what it means to be a fireman. Toward the end of the trip you tap his shoulder, and shout to him, "This seems to keep you pretty busy." "I tell you there is no funny business about this work," is hire response. e Fnglieh Spavin Liniment romoveq all hard, soften eallonbed Lumps and Blemishes from horses, Blood Spavin, Curbs, tlplints, Ring Bone, Sweeney, Stifles, Sprains, Sore and swollen Throat, Coughs. etc. Save $60 by use of one bottle.

Neither the Silver 1x111, the TariR.lmend- ment, er Any Political Party Ito- •poosipie-No Healthy, Moral, Indus- trious Man Never Suffered Froin Wan - The Bible the Best Work on Political Economy. The Reverend Doctor T. De Witt Tal- mage, of the great Brooklyn l'abern sole, is at all times a most interesting suualit.y, He preaches to the largest congregation in the largestchurch build- ing in tbe.United States, and his ser- mons are so judiciously avudieated that they are read from 1''iurkla to Oregon, and front Maine to Texas at few days after their delivery. Ile is the bright, particular, and best paying star of the lecture bureaus, and editor of uric of the wo.-t popular and widely read religi .us publications in ti.e world, Unli:.e A • DR. T. DE WITT TAL.tIAGE. many of hie brethren of the cloth, Dr. Talmage is foresighted and forehanded, and he deems it nut inconsistent with his clerical work,, to guard against the unproductive days of old age, and to tike etre that the wolf of want does no loud howling within hearing of his own pri- Tate domicile. At this time, interest in Dr. Talmage is intensified by two facts: first, he is about to sever his connection with the Brooklyn Tabernacle, after a faithful and brilliant service of twenty-five years; and second, he is going to lec- ture to the antiputleans of Australia, taking in Ceylon, with its spicy breezes, ;awl India, with its rare assortment of creeds and languages on his way home. As he has recently help d to fend many thousands of the subjects of that im- poverished monarch, "the Creat White Czar." I reasoned that Dr. Talmage should know a great deal about the pev- erty in our own laud and its causes, and hoping for light on this important sub- ject, and incidentally to learn of his own future movements, I called on him by appointment, a few nights ago. In re- sponse to my gttestiou,the doctor replied in that prompt. vigorous way, that dis- tinguishes him alike in the parlor and the.pulpit. "Yes, my decision to leave the Taber- nacle is final, and I am not so vain to think that a man cannot be found to fill my place. No one man, or no hundred men, 'or thousand men, or ten thousand men,"—the doctor paused, and I feared be was going to say : "or no teen at all," when he finished the sentence by adding "are essential to the world's ad- vance, and that means the cause of re- ligion. I start fur Australia on the first day of June, taking my wife with me, and shall deliver forty lectures over there. I expect to be gone five menthe to the minute, and, on the way back, I Shall spend four weeks in Ceylon and India, From Calcutta to Luclnsow, Delhi, Betimes, and Bombay ; thence by steamer to Alien, up the Red Sea. within sight of Sinaia, and over the w,;tore Haut parted at the command of 11L's e, then borne; via Brindisi, Paris, London and Liverpool." "To what do you attribute the present business depression and consequent pov- erty, doctor ?-' "The Bible saps : 'Ye have the poor always with you,' I made that the text of my sermon a few Sundays ago. It is us true now, like all the Master's sty• lugs, as it was when uttered. Poverty is not of to -day or yesterday. It is - old s old as the race, and, I fear it will cem- tinue as lone as the race lasts. Through all the years of history, sacred and pro- fane, bread has been the absorbing goes• Uwe. From the days when a starving world flocked to the storehouses of "THE COUNTRY IS LIEE A SICK MAN," Joseph in Egypt, tip to the present time, men have been doing of hunger. Think of the millions of men who have never actually had a full meal. We cannot guard against such famines as that which recently devastated parts of the Russian Empire, though broader sym- pathies and better transportation facilities enable us to relieve distress, where foranelly it was impossible. There have been 854 great famines in England. Every other land has n iurilur history, and this is one of the thitnge in whloh' hhary promieee to (0 on repeating itself.” "But, Doctar, we have not had de - Solent crops; no disaster by flood or field, why then should industrious sten be idle and' their children pinched for bread ?" ''Want of confidence has much to do with it. In the sermon referred to. I used the word 'tarifflo.' It is not in the dictionaries, but it expresses my mean- ing. A majority of our people stand with their eyes turned to Washington, expecting Congress to do something to relieve the distress, or at least to end this harrassing discussion. But it will never end. Like Bauquo's ghost it will not down. It was here at our births,aud it will survive our deaths. My earliest recollection is the discussion of this question by my father and his neigh- bors. It has continued with increasing vehemence, from that day to this, and it was us near settlement then as it is now, or ever can be, while men have the power 10 discuss. Perpetual motion, annexation, squaring the circle, Hawaii, the universal solvent, and every other question may be settled in time, but this tariffic question will grow more lusty and absorbing with the progress of the ages. "The country is like a sick man in the care of a lot of doctors of differing or opposing schools of medicine. The con- stitution of the patient prevents the dissolution which the practice of the physician tends to hasten. There is too much being said and two little being done. A very inferior doctor, provided be had un antipathy to drugs, would do more fur the patient than all the learned medical men of the rival schools. Let us do something to restore confidence. and"the anvil will ring, and the wheels whirr and the shuttles flash again, and want will fly the presence of rewarded industry. "But we cannot legislate prosperity. we need something besides tariff laws to banish idleness, and to fill hungry mouths with bread. Silver bills and tariff bills may shake confidence or frighten capital for n while, but it is the whisky bill that brings hunger and bread famine. Over $1,000,000,000 were spent in the United States last year for whisky, wines and beers. The flour mills close, but the gin mills are always open, and doing a cushing business. The founderies shut down, but the bars never shut up. Banks stop payment, but the brewery continues. Dry goods and hardware machetes and grocers fail, for want of trade, but the saloons flourish. The greater the povery, the better the business for the dealers in liquid damnation. °"`Husband loaf around the bar, wife takes in washing. The children, ragged, gaunt, and thin - blooded, huddle together for heat iu the Plows, greltt tooting moueters; that Swept over the green prairies, leaving six black furrows of turned up loam In their wake., To keep page with Such plowing, they must dispense with the old method and get an invention fur sowing the seed, lipid they have it. When the grain is ripe. mighty machines enter the sea of golden grain, and est it, and thrash it, and ;tut it into bags. Over the iron road it is rushed to mam- moth mills, they have superceded the old water -wheel contrivances of my boyhood, and there it is made into white cataracts of flour, and crammed into machine -made barrels; awl whirled to all parts of the world by labs r saving, steam. All very grand and very went no daunt, but the tendency of it seems to be, to have as few men and as Much labor saving machinery as possible. Thousands of the idle men to be found in our cities to -day, are poor fellows whose occupations have been invented away." "What do you think of the increasing numbers of women who are entering those fields of labor formerly exclusively occupied by men, and who do the same world fur less wages?" "Well, it is my experience that in a majority of cases when women have been forced to de such work, that they are driven to it by the drunkenness of the father or the husband, who should be the protector and bread -winner. There are some cases where the women are the sole reliance of invalid parents, and who, under such circunlstauces, are ready to take tap the first work that offers. But, apart frost) that, 1 can see no good reason why women s,iould not do auy work fur which they are phy- sically^ and mentally qualified. "You say women do the same work for smaller wages than men. Well, they would be willing to take higher wages, if they could get it. But, us a matter of fact, women can live much better and dress much better than men on the same amount of money. They do not squealer their earnings in bars. They do nut smoke. They do not bet or gamble, and, as a rule, they lead more healthful lives. "Another great cause of poverty, is the tie prudence of people. In the day of prosperity they pay no heed to the morrow. They spend as fast as they make. It matters not whether it es one thousand or ten thousand e year, they are always behind band, or they live up to the last penny. Such people are sinfully selfish and self-indulgent, fur t e habit and the self-denial, essential to save, are in themselves an excellent education. This large, improvident class, drinks its wine or beer, and smokes its pipe or cigars, but it has never a penny tar the savings bank or for life insurance. No matter the man, he has some one dependent oa }emoted if he is not laying by his money in a savings bank, he should carry a life insurance policy commensurate with his means. This should be imperative with the man who has a family. It is crimi- nal, in the event of his death, to leave his wife and children pepuriless pau- pers. If men could be taught to make such a provision for their families, there would be less poverty and its at- tendant vices iu our midst to -day. -Al- fred B. Calhoun. "THE INNOCENT SUFFER WITH THE GUILTY." foul air of a wretched tenement, or learn profanity and pitch pennies on the street. The poor spend a hundred times more for rum than the rich or the coun- tries bestow on them in the way of char- ity. Banish the liquor traffic—root and branch—and you banish hunger and ifI- augurate prosperity, Think of it, mil- lions of bushels of corn distilled into sour mash, instead of being made into bread. Barley and rye transformed into poison, instead of being converted into wholesome food. Banish this curse of the ages; then hail the day of lasting prosperity! Close the bars, and empty the poor houses and jails. Cease the manufacture and sale of intoxicants,and we shall need fewer hospitals and in- sane asylums. We stand on tiptoe, bending toward Washington for news of legislation that will restore confidence; if it were known that to -morrow the liquor traffic was at an end, confidence would come to stay, and the only legis- lation, that could frighten her away, would be that that threatened to restore the old order of things." "Bit, doctor." it was urged, "there are tens of thousands of good, sober men idle, and their families are suffering ; how do you account for that ?" "The innocent suffer with the guilty, and while that is to be deplored, I can- not see how it can be helped. But even under the most prosperous conditions, the labor supply S I� seems to exceed the labor demand. And this condition in- creases from year to year. We boast a good deal about cheapening the cost of production by tee invention of labor sav- ing devices. But for myself, I never bear of a new invention, that promises to do the work of fifty or a hundred men, without a sigh of regret. Say what we will, the condition of the sewing wo- man has not been improved by the in- vention of the sewing machine. I grant you, it has made great fortunes for a few, and it has cheapened production, but it seems to me this has been done at the expense of labor. The in- vention of type -setting machines is dis- pensing every week with the services of hundreds of intelligent compositors, who, outside their trade, are as helpless as children. Some one invents a horse shoe that can be turned out by machinery, and at once scores of blacksmith shops close in every county. And the sturdy mechanics take off their leather aprons and grope helplessly about for some other calling. A few years ago I was out in Dakota. It is a glorious land. vast verdant plains, ready to yield grant; harvests to effort, but -LB my surprise,' the old system of applying that et fort was gone. There I saw steam Shakespeare by Deaf Mutes. One of the most remarkable theatr:c.tl events of the season took place last night in the lecture -room of All Souls' Crrurch,on Franklin street. above Green. It was a presentation of "rhe Merchant of Venice," enacted entirely by deaf mutes, before an audience, or, more properly speaking, spectators, composed almost entirely of deaf mutes, even to the ushers. Although there was a total absence of applause, the appreciation of the spectators was not lacking, as was evidenced by their smiling countenances and nimble fingers ut the conclusion of each scene. The play was presented entirely in the sign language, and, with the exception of Thomas D. Delp, who, as Launcelot Gobbo, thug clown, emitted a few guttural sounds, not an attempt was made at uttering words. So far as acting was concerned, the players showed considerable ability, and far excelled the average amateur per- former. In some of the scenes the facial expression was a study in itself, and when Portia (Miss Cora Ford) came to the lines "Tile quality of mercy is not strained," the scene was intensely dra- matic. Although not a sound was utter- ed, the flying fingers of the players and their eloquent gestures were sufficient to interpret the lines even to the few spec- tators who were not in the secret of the mystic language. As Shllock, William Henry Lipsett gave a clever rendition of the avaricious Jew, and his lines were followed with au appreciative silence. The Portia of Miss Ford was almost evually strong, while Mr. Delp, to judge from the fingere 1 comments, must nave made a decided hit as Launclot Gobbo.—Philadelputa Record. The Chameleon. How any woman under the sun can make a pet of a chameleon is' beyond my comprehension. No woman has ever brought herself to handle and fondle the creepy little things without a strug- gle, I am positive, for there is an innate antipathy born with' Mother Eve and transmitted to her every daughter against anything that crawls—except a baby. The chameleon fad is to me the most wonderful proof of the power of fashion. "So long as the society lasts fashion wilt continue to lead it by the nose." I,suppose if Bernhardt or Langtry or some of the women who are usually responsible for the idiosyncrasies of fashion were to take to mothering mice about half the feminine would be world i trying to conquer 9 n ter its aversion o n three weeks afterward and be doting on the cuteness of "dear little mouses."- Wash-ington Post. Undoing an Insult. Colonel Gilbert Pierce, the late Minis- ter to Portugal, once picked up in his arms a young lady who stood hesitating at the corner of the street in an Indiana village, unable to cross it, because a shower had filled it with a rushing tor- rent of water. The young lady submit- ted without protest while the Colonel strode gallantly through the torrent until he deposited his fair charge on the opposite sidewalk, with dry feet. " Sir I' she teen said, indignantly, "are you aware that you have insulted me?" "I was not aware of it," replied the colonel ; "but seeing that you are right, I beg to make amends." So say- ing, he picked up the prottesting dam- sel And restored her to the point where he had first made her acquaintance. She Spoke Prom Experience, Maude—Did he say I was pretty ? ,. Belle—Oh, no.
