TAUGHT A LESSON.
now u Warmer aearned What an Expensive
Fellow fle was,
"I made a big crop of wheat this year,"
said the farmer, who always thinks he is
the family. "I sold nearly .$200 worth of
'butter and cogs, and paid off a mortgage
that has been bothering ine for years. I
guess I will be able to buy that woods pas-
ture next year."
It was always "large I" and "little you"
with him. Ills wife, who was a famous
manager, grew very tired of it, says the
Chicago Herald. She did not want any
share in the honor she had not earned; but
she did know that all the ready money came
from her side of the home—from the dairy
or the garden or the poultry yard, places
hor husband never visited. So when the
minister came to tea the housewife delivered
her lecture.
"John has been very busy this year.
He has cleared up 10 acres of wild land, and
made the biggest crops wehave had in 10
years. But we don't seem to be much bet-
ter off after all. He has had to pay so much
for his harness and farm tools. And then
his clothing has cost '$30 and his schooling
and he has paid nearly $50 for doctor
"Why," said the amazed husbandman,
haven't had but one suit of clothes, and
they cost me $20. The children had the
Test. And I haven't been to school this
year—not if I know myself.; that was for
the boys. And that doctor's bill was for
yourself. Why, I haven't spent half the
money on myself."
"Oh, certainly not," said the wife, with
a smile which disarmed opposition; "but as
we always speak of yon as one who makes
the money, I thought you might object if
we didn't credit you with spending all
of it." ,
The preacher saw the moral, but the
:farmer was a week learning that since wife
and boys helped him accumulate, wife and
. 'boys shonla have some credit for the ac-
cumulation.
PREACHER ANIS SMOKER.
3Iabi15 of Rev. Dr. Spurgeon, London!
Famous Pulpit Orator.
Me. Spurgeon hat a strong partiality for
the fragrant weed, says the London Star.
Sunday evenings after the service at the
Tabernacle he may be seen reclining in the
cusbions of hie carriage and puffing away
at his pipe as he is driven home. He says
that after a hard day's work he finds a smoke
has a soothing and resale' effect upon his
nerves.
Westwood, his home at Beulah Hill, Nor-
wood, is, perhaps, the tineet phme owned
by a dissenting pareon in this country. He
has a magnificent collection of plants, shrubs,
etc., from all parts of the world. The
grounds are laid out on a most lavish scale,
and all the appointments of the place are in
keeping.
Mr. Spurgeon has Sometimes been re-
monstrated with ,by persons more orthodox
than himself—if such can be conc&vecl—for
driving on Sunday. His retort is teat he is
under grace, while his horses are under the
law, so that their Sabbath comes on Satur-
day a.nd his own on Sunday, which is a most
convenient arrangement. But it is a fact
that he takes care the animals shall have at
least one day's rest in seven, which is both
prudent and humane.
The reporter's transcript of his Sunday
morning's sermon has to be in his hands by
7 o'clock on Mondsy morning, when he
-carefully revises the MS. Whether he
makes any provision or stipulation for the
shorthand writer's rest day dcos not tran-
spire.
Temperance Exhibit.
Temperance will have a great exhibit at
the World's Cohnnbian Exposition. Tem-
perance drinks, temperance literature and
temperance hospitals will be features of the
display. -
Installation Secretary 'Hurst received
application for space for the exhibit yee-
terclay. Miss Josephine E. Nicholls, of
Indianapolis made the application on be-
half of the Womana Christian Temperance
Publication Association. Nor will the
mchilsit be restricted to temperance sub.
jecte only. A model creche will be erstab-
liehecl, with nurses and cribs for the care
of children whose parents will leave them
for a few hours ; the hospital will be fitted
for the care of emergency cases, the treat
inent to be without the use of alcoholic
stimulants. A large pavilion will be fitted
up. with fountains, flags and banners from
tlurty-eight national unions. The entire
display is to be the result of female labor
and will be most elaborate in all its details.

Found Hint Tricky.
The red flag fluttered over the door of
Gillam' e emporium. The villagers were
crowding tbe ShieWalk, says YOUtie 8 CM^
panion, while from within came the sound
of the auctioueora nasal tones and the rap
of his hammer. Mr. Whine a merchant
from the neighboring county town, stopped
in 0 group of men outside.
"Ned Oillam sold out by the sheriff !
What
doe e that mean ? 1 should have said
that of all the young men in this village he
was the one who would make his way. Has
he taken to drink ?"
"Not at all," said the squire. "He's
sober enough."
" Ned unaerstood his business," pursued
Whiflin, still curious. He was a ealesman
for me for two years, you know. I never
had a more polite fellow to customers, nor
One who e0111(1 run off goods faster. I never
had any damagea goods left on his counter.
He sold them all at full price. He was
almost too smart."
" You have hit the nail on the head,
there !" said the squire. " Gillum is a
pleasant, polite fellow, but tricky. When
he opened the Emporium we all went there
to buy. I took my custom from old David
Longaker at tlse corner, thinking that we
must have the 'fine table delicacies' which
Ned promised.
"But presently I discovered that when-
ever he could paint off inferior goods for the
best he did so. I never went back to him.
David's goods were always just what he
represented them to be. He' a crusty old
fellow, but his word is to be taken."
" Our experience Wite the same," said the
doctor. "My wife and daughters wanted
to keep up the fashion, and bought their
hats and gowns which Ned declared were
the style in New York.
"But when they found that they were
old auction goods which he had bought cheap
and sold at high profit, they never went into
his store again.
"That is the history of his dealings with
most of the villagers. One after another
dropped away until he had nobody left.
Hence—the red flag and the sheriff!"
waving his hand.
" Well ! well! I always thought Ned
Gillam would score a success in this world !"
said Mr. Whiffin, as he climbed into his
buggy and drove toward 'home. Such a
polite fellow and so agreeable to every-
body. !" he muttered, flicking his horse
gently. e
Y-oung Gillam himself, as he watched the
auctioneer marl the buyers, wondered bit-
terly at his defeat. He had started with
but little capital, but clear of debt. Now
he owed everyone, and the assets would not
cover his debts.
"1 tried to be civil and pleasant !" he
said. "1 looked sharply after any own in-
terest. I doe% know where my mistake
was !"
But every villager in the crowd knew.
The secret was a truth as old as the first
trade -which was made between the children
of Adam ; it repeats itself in every indi-
vidual life to -day, and most readers who
have seen this glimpse of village history can
tell what it is.
WHAT LONDON TEACILES ITS.
Paved Streets That stand the Homiest
Traffic.
London will teach you that it is possible
fol. the streets of the busiest city in the
world to be kept scrupulously clean. It
will teach Americans, too, that a city can
be paved so as to withstand the inroads of
heavy traffic, and yet be a luxury for one
to drive on any of its streets. We may
teach them how to build the cars, but they
can teach us how to _construct safe rail-
roads. Where the American railroad
grades a crossing and endangers life the
English road builds a tunnel and praects
the public. The wooden piers along the
river fronts are nightmares when you
see those buttresses ot masonry in England.
The American housewife is taught how
beautiful the humblest home can look when
flowers bloom fame every window in it, and
gardens look like spots of paradise. The
English woman can teach her American
sister the great secret of keeping young by
refusing to worry. She knows that worry
means premature age, and she has too high
a regard tor her health to endanger it with
what she knows vvill not avail. The English
girl will teach the pride of every American
that the foundation of the best health is
exercise and plenty of it, and that healthy
girlhood is the stepping stone to the best
wifehood and motherhood ; though, in every
other respect, the American giri can stand
comparison.—Ladies' lionte Journal.
Ito Place for "Make -11p."
According to the St. James' Budget, ladies
who have been accustomed to heighten their
charms by the wiles of the toilet table had
better keep away from the Transvaal. They
would not be long in Pretoria before they
got into serious trouble. The Second Cham-
ber of the Volk.sraad has passed and sent up
to the First Chamber a masks and disguises
bill which will press severely upon ladies—
and gentlemen, too—who are not physically
what they seem. Whoever wears a wig, for
instance, and is caught in the dreadful act,
may be fined £10, or sent to prison forafort-
night. An exception will, perhaps, be
made in favor of actors and actresses while
they are on the stage. Presumably, it will
also be an offence to wear a mask or go
about on stilts ; but those are amusements
in which people do not want to indulge
every day. With all the detaile of this
highly moral bill we are not familiar ; but
if it prohibits wigs it must Surely condemn
that artistic heightening of the complexion
to which so many ladies are—perhaps
erroneously—supposed to owe something.
The Puritan fathers of the Transvaal may
as well do the thing thoroughly while they
arc about it.

They Are Not " Parasites."
Professor Goldwin Smith, with an autlac.
ity which imperils his reputation as an kis.
toricel ceitic, declares •that the Hebrews
have suffered persecution for many centuries
because they are a parasitic race."
The only objection tve can make to this
statement is that it is not true.
There is no definition of the word "para-
site" which will properly include that
"peculiar people."
A parasite is a person who gets his living
in whole or in part without working for or
otherwise earning. it. He is a dead beat
who cajoles the giver of a feast out of an in-
vitation eats at his host's expense and re-
pi
pays his ndebtedness by flattery.
Mr. Smith illustrates by remarking that
the liebressa " insert themselves into the
homes of other nations for the purpose of
gain, while they retain a marked and repel-
lant nationality of their own."
1. The Hebrew is falsely stigmatized as a
parasite because he is a hardy, thrifty fellow
and in every sense self-supporting. So far
as this country is concerned, he asks no
special legislation and seeks no favors, but
takes his chances with the rest of us. He
generously supporis hospitals of his own,
and never allows the poor of his race to be -
cornea State charge. His attitude toward
the Government is marked by a loyalty
which has never been questioned, and in the
general rush for political office he is edn7
spicuous by his absence. He has his faults
and eccentricities, but in this respect he is
not unlike the people of any other nation-
ality, including ourselves.
2. As to their "inserting themselves"
into this or that nationality for purposes of
gain, why, we also are in the " inserting"
business whenever an opportunity for profit
shows itself. The man who does not buy
and sell for gain is a Isumen curiosity
whose capture would make the fortune of
a Barnum, and the man who wouldn't go to
any part of the earth, from the °avid mines
of Peru to the diamond fields of Southern
Africa„, in order to better his lot has neayet
become visible to the naked eye.
Every mother's son of us is after money—
the farmer, the Wall street broker and the
writer of the last novel. To accuse the
Hebrew'therefore, of being sharper than
the rest of mankind is to admit that he has
a faculty which excites our envy.
When we heard in '49 that there was
plenty of "yellow stuff" in California,
didn't we " insert " ourselves into that
territory, with startling rapidity? There
is no people on the face of the earth who
entertain a greater reverence for spot cash
than we Americans do, and none that will
make larger personal sacrifices to possess
it. Our love of money is about the only
unadulterated substance in the country.
The worship which we accord to wealth,
if transferred to the domain of religion,
would make us "too sweet to live." We
can forgive a man for almost anything, but
poverty is an unpardonable sin. And if
a man has millions our admiration is so
absorbing that we even forget to ask how he
obtained them.
The Hebrew may love gold, but not more
than the rest of us. That were impossible:
He may "insert" himself into nay com-
munity which promises profit, but he will
find there a large number of native-born
competitors who will see to it that he
doesn't get more than his share. He may
be shrewd, but shrewdness is by no means
confined to his race. What he acquires he
must hustle for, and the other hustlers will
guarantee that he doesn't get very much
the better of them.
There are no parasites in this country,
unless we except the professional politicians
who hang on to their party for what they
can get out of it. These and our small army
of tramps are the only leisure class we have.
The rest of us are all hard workers, with our
weather eyes open for the chance to make a
dollar, We are a frightfully busy people—or
perhaps we had better say a gloriously busy
people—so busy that we haven't time to
grumble at Beattie for keeping our streets
dirty, and can spare only an hour or two a
day in which to curse the McKinley Bill.
The Hebrews are in the swim with us. So
are the Germans and the Irishmen and the
Italians. If any of them can forge ahead of
us, that is our business. If any of them lag
behind, that is their business. It is a free
country, with equal laws and opportunities
for all, with no obstructions for those of any
race or clime or religion, and our only motto
is, May the best man Win. --New York,
Herald. '

11143.1.1b'S SOMO Approved pules to Bathe Dim

Following are Six rules for the treatment
pf balky horses, -which are TeCOMmenclecl hy
the Society for the lsreventien ef Creelty to
Animals, says the fase/ae Sam% Pomona
who aro unfortueate enough to own such
anianala are recommended to give one or
more of these rules a trial;
I. Pat the horse upon, the neck ; examiee
the barness carefully, arst •On One side and
then on the other, tpeeking encouragingla
while doing so ; thee jump into the Waggon
and give the word go ; generally he will
obey.
2. A teamster in Maine seyt he can start
the worst balky horse by taking hint out of
the shafts and making him go around in a
cirele mita he is giddy. If the first doesn't
cure hini the second will.
To cure a balky horse simply place your
hand over the horse's nose and shut off his
wind until he wants to go, and then let lain
go.
4. The brain of the horse seems to enter -
tale but one idea at a time ; therefore, con-
theeed whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. 11 you can by any means give him
a new subject to think of, you will gener-
ally have no trouble in starting lum. A
simply remedy is to take a couple of turns
of stout twine around the foreleg, just below
the knee, tight enough for the horse to feel,
and tie a bow knot, At the fleet chick he
will generally go dancing off, and aftergoing
a short distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the tendon
in your further drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs and tie it by a cord to the saddle
girth.
6. Tie a string around the horse's ear close
• the horse's head.
Better Than Blaclitnnithing.
In his day, the blacksmith was a useful
men. In its old form, the trade only sur-
vives in rural districts; articles turned out
in great machine shops are largely super-
seding the products of even the country
smithy. There are still blacksmiths in the
city, but they are merely journeymen in a
shop. Forty years ago it was different, even
in New York, and hence it is not remark-
able that one Charles Beck, who died
twenty years ago, as a blacksmith working
for himself and probably employing a num-
ber of helpers, should have left his widow a
snug little fortune and a number of city lots.
Mr. Beck was wise in his investment.
When he died he had to quit working for
his wife, but in leaving her a number of
city lots he practically so arranged matters
that a large number of other people should
continue to work for her.
The result has recently been made public.
Mrs. Beck died four years ago, and her real
estate has just been sold for the benefit of
her heirs. The total sum realized was
$219,750. This is doubtless very pleasant
for the heirs, but who earned that money?
It was not the blacksmith, for he was dead
during the time that the greater part of this
value was growing through competition
among living men for the use of that land. It
was not the widow, for it does nob appear
from the newspaper reports that she added
anything to the area or value of the land
bequeathed by her husband. All she did
was to hold on. If she had been an idiot
or an imbecile she could have done as nuich,
or it could easily have been done for her.
We do not refer to this case.as one in-
volving any blame to any of the parties con-
cerned. They simply took what the law,
sustained and upheld by the people of this
city and State, awarded to them; and they
doubtless accept the common opinion as to
the propriety of the system under which
they have fared so well. It would be folly
to blame them for this. The incident, how-
ever, is one of many that ought to cause
people to consider seriously the wisdom and
Justice of a system that thus transfers to a
few people the whole value that has, in the
course of twenty years, been given to the
land held by that blacksmith when Ise died.
All the other blacksmiths who have lived in
New York during that period have, as
members of the community, contributed to
the creation of this value. What share of it
do they, "et?
• Let them ea) and do likewise, say the de-
fenders of the existing system. Yes, let
them? How many lots could a journey-
man blacksmith of to -day buy out of his
savings? But it would not matter if all of
them could do so. That would not affect
the question of principle involved. That
question is, Ought we to maintain a system
of land tenure that thus distributes among
a few values created by all, and does it by
actually offering a premium to people to
hold land out of use ?—New York. Standard.
How to Advertise.
Detroit News: "People who kick about
advertising not paying," said he, while the
steaks were sizzling, are those who don't
know how to do it. The first requisite is to
have a good thing to sell ; then tell people
about it so that they will believe
it. The having of the saleable stuff
is not advertising, of course, but if you
don't have it the ' ad ' will be a failure.
The secret of the business is to have an air
of truth about your ads. Convince the
people that you are telling the truth. Don't
let them think an ' ad ' is merely a trap,
but a good honest invitation to buy some-
thieg of value. Those'ad' that start out
as an entertaining bit of reading matter
and end up with recommendation to use
Uncle Sam's shinplasters for pecuniary
debility make the reader mad.
A PAPISiall Beauty.
For a number of years Mme. Gautrau has
posed as the unrivalled professional beauty
of Paris. She is said to closely resemble
Diane de Poitiers, and it is the prayer of
every rising artist that she will sit to him
for a portrait and thus bring his name to
public notice. Her figure and her marine
are regarded as beyond any comparison,
beautiful ; therefore no salon is considered
complete till a portrait of the fair madame
hangs on its walls. This spring's exhibition
was no exception to its many forerunner,
and Gustave Courtois pictured her in a
snow-white ball dress that heightened, if
possible, her radiant loveliness. --Boston

she Died.
Philadelphia Record : Mrs. Hopkins -
Searles, whose recent death has been much
talked of because she vvas reputed to be the
richest woman in the United States, left be-
hind her a testimony of her wealth in a
palace built for her to live in at Great Bar-
rington, Mass., which cost $2,000,000. To
go from that magnificent establishment into
a coffin and a grave wag a repulsive change.
But the mistress of many millions could not
put off the journey. After all, the pleasere
of great riches is but momentary, and
there is no assurance that the possessor of
a fine house in the United States will secure
fine quarters in the undiecovered country.

contentment are not to be found amid
the waving grain—the green pastures—
the songs of birds and the perfumed breezes,
where, oh, where shall we look for it? Mr.
Scott, you are to be congratulated."
"Yes, sir, and I suppose I can go ? '
"You can, Mr. Scott. You can go up

hit the bridge with both eyes I should have
made it eight or ten !"

Facts
Please Read Them
We respectfully ask your careful
attention to this statement, brief but
important, and which we will divide
into three parts, viz:
1, THE SITUATION; 2, THE NECES-
SITY; 3 THE REMEDY.
I st. The Situation
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to make up all the
organs of the body, and it carries away
all waste or dissolved and useless
material. Every bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to
be done rightly and well.
2d. The Necessity
The human race as a whole is in
great need of a good blood purifier.
There are about eeoo disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blood.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and virtually unchanged from
its ancient forms. If we are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
from germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.
3d. The Remedy
In Hood's Sarsaparillals found the
inedicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable Cures are its loudest praise.
No remedy has ever had so great suc-
cess, no medicine was ever accorded so
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest forms has yielded to its petent
powers, blood peasoning and salt rheum
and many other diseases have been
permanently cured by it. If you want
statements of eures, write to es. If
you neea a good blodd purifier, take

GRIDDLE CAKES.
Sour Milk and iron; Bakes Delicious
• Ones.
Some of the most delicious pa,neakes, or
griddle cakes, as they are more properly
called, are 'those made of sour inilk or
buttermilk, and wheat flour, with or with-
out the addition of a little shortening.i
A new fancy is to bake these cakes n the
size of a large pan butter them lightly
while warm, heap them with strawberries
slightly crushed and sprinkled with sugar.
Put a seemed pancake on top of this layer
and heap it again with strawberries, sprink-
led with sugar, as befoie. Cut the cake in
triangular pieces, like pie, and serve it with
whipped cream.
The proper rule for these cakes is a quart
of sour milk or buttermilk, a quart of flour,
a half cup of butter and a heaped teaspoon
asisfda
St the soda through the flour twice, rub
the butter through it, add the milk to snake
the batter and alevel teaspoon of salt. Beat

thTorhoeugmhillyk.
the amount of soda given. If it is not cmite
sour enough, lessen the amount of soda.
Some housekeepers prefer to soak the flour
and sour milk used for these pancakes to-
gether overnight. In that case add in the
morning the butter melted and the soda
dissolved by itself in cold water. —Sew
