or of the money which purchases it, ]
implies, in the first place, that there
has been put forth equivalent effort OF
a kind which, in some way, furthers the
general good and implies, in the Sc
cond place, that those from whom the
money is received, get, directly or indi-
rectly, equivalent satisfactions. But in
gambling the opposite happens. Bene-
fit received does not imply effort put
forth ; and the happiness Of the winner
involves the misery of the loser. This
kind of action is therefore essentially
anti-social; sears the sympathies, Guilt
Yates hard egoism, and so produces a
general deterioration of character and
conduct.
Clearly, then, a visionary hope mis-
leads those who think that in an imag-
med age of reason, which might forth
with replace an age of beliefs but part
" rational, conduct, would be correctly
guided by a code directly based on con-
sideratiOns of utility. A utilitarian
system of ethics cannot at present be
correctly thought out even by the Sc
lect few, and is quite beyond the mental
reach of the many. The value of the
inherited and theologically enforced
code is that it formulates, with some
approach to correctness, the accumula-
ted results of past human experience.
It has not risen nationally but emperi-
cally. During all past times mankind
have eventually gone right after trying
all possible ways of going wrong. The
wrong-goings have been habitually
checked by disaster, and pain, and
death and the right-goings have been
continued because not thus checked.
There has been a growth of beliefs cor
responding to these good and evil re-
suits. Hence the code of conduct, en-
bodying discoveries slowly and almost
unconsciousIy made through long Sc
ries of generations, has transcendant
authority on its side.-Her6ert ,Spe'a-

Mollie Waterman and Her Dog.


New orleans PicayuneI
In the private album of the chief of
police, where all the celebrated womens'
pictures, or "mugs Of the MoIls, at
tached to the rogue's gallery are kept,
there are many striking faces, some
fair, beautiful and proud, others soft
and delicate, others pinched and sharp,
while again are those intellectual and
with thestamp of refinement and wealth.
Moliie Waterman's picture is none of
these. 1t is that of a plain, cold
woman, just like that of a statue would
be, with her black hair folded back and
bound around her head, while her dress
of rich black is caught by the throat
with heavy clasp.
By her side, with its head in her lap
and its Intelligent eyes looking eagerly
into her face, is black and tan terrier
dog of medium size and with a plain
collar.
A singular picture to see in a gallery
of thieves, yet probably the most sin u
lar pair found in the long lines of faces.
Mollie Waterman never stole herself.
She trained her dog. Going into a store
she selected various costly laces, jew
elry, etc, and looking at them placed
them back with particular motion of
her hand, shortly going out of the
store. The dog remained, and siezing
the article when the showman's back
was turned, made with it to her room,
where it was received by Mollie and
the dog rewarded t..-.
For years she piled this with success,
until one day the dog was caught there.
Unheeding of herself she surrendered,
imploring for the life of her favorite.
The PICTURES of the two were, how
ever, taken together, and then the dog
was killed, the body being inhuIanl
thrown into the cell where the woman
lay.
So the police left them but, when
they returned with the morning, she
was found dead, poisoned by her own
hand, lying with her steadfast friend.
There was a rude inquest, of course,
a coroner and joking crowd; but
when the two were tumbled into then
old box, out into the potters' field, there
we're closed out forever two who might
be an example to many loving friends.

Reduction of Rates.

There is no one thing which the press
in the large cities of the country has
been more uniform and persistent in
than in their persistent advocacy of such
reduction in the premiums charged for
life insurance as would bring that pro-
lection from want within the reach of
every family. The National Life Insur-
ance Company of the United States of
America, E. A. Rollins, president, Jay
Cooke, chairman of finance committee,
capital larger than that of any other
life company in the world, has placed
its rates at about three-quarters of those
charged by most companies, and wants
an agent in every locality. It has the
essential qualities of strength and cheap
ness, and we advise all looking for full
or partial employment in life insurance
to address the company at Philadelphia.

Water as a Fuel.


Water is composed of two gases, OK
ygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is a most
powerful supporter of combustion,
while hydrogen is itself very combusti-
BILE. The gas with which our streets
and houses are lighted, is no other than
this hydrogen impregnated with carbo-
mic matter to redden its flame. 1t is
therefore manifest that if there were any
practical means of decomposing water
or steam (Which is the same thing in a
different form, the hydrogen could be
used for fuel, and the oxygen could be
also used for burning bricks, stones, old
iron, and almost every procurable ma
terial. There is no exaggerationin what
we say. A rod of iron plunged into a
vessel of oxygen would burn with a ra-
pidity and thoroughness even greater
than those which characterize the burn
ing of kindlng wood in common air.
The difficulties that stand in the way of
these phenomina being actually exhibit
ted, are chiefly owing to the difficulty of
procuring the gases, and preserving
them when procured. When those diff
ficulties are therefore obviated, a new
era in the business of lighting and heat
ing will be inaugurated. 1t is manifest
from the nature of the components of
water, that a ready means of decompos-
ing that notorious element, would result
in the realization of what we have de-
scribed. The following, which we copy
from the San Francisco Alto, is perhaps
descriptive of the commencement OF
what may yet revolutionize the entire
present arrangement of the physical
forces by which mechanism of every
kind is worked throughout the civilized
world.

Shall we Begin with Eggs or Fowls 2

This question is often asked by those
who are about to commence breeding
the better sorts of poultry. The most
desirable fowls are always high priced;
and to give from $40 to $50 for single
pair of birds seems a pretty large in
Yestmento of capital. The eggsare cheap
er, though still dear in comparison with
market eggs. The question is fair one,
and worth looking at. In starting a
flock of pure-bred turkeys, if we COM
mence with egg, they will cost $12 a
dozen, at least, if you an find breeder
who is willing to sell them. They have
to go through the hands of the express
man, and it is currently reported that
eggs are sometimes broken or damaged
OH the passage. But if they arrive safely,
and are put Immediately under a set
ting-hen, you may get a half-dozen
chicks, and, with fair attendance, raise.
them. At the end of the season you
have only half turkeys enough 10 start
flock with, if you have a good range.
Twelve collars will buy good pair of
pure DI6u GuIAtJSs IL OI06IOO early III
the season. The hen will lay for the
first setting about eighteen eggs. If
these eggs are taken from her and put
under hens, she will very soon lay a
dozen or more for the second setting.
If these eggs are properly cared for,
and turned daily while they are in the
house, they are quite sure to hatch. 1t
is safe to calculate upon thirty eggs
from bird, and flock of dozen or
more the first season. The balance is
altogether in favor of buying the fowls.
there is little chance of being cheated,
for, if the birds do not suit you, you
have your remedy at once. But you
do not know what is in the eggs until
the end of the season. The best safety
package for the transportation Of eggs
yet invented is the ovary of the mother.
1t is quite rare for fowls, properly
boxed, to be injured in transit. They
can be sent across the continent with
about the same safety as across a coun-
ty. 1t costs but little more to buy
good fowls, and you generally gain one
season.-W Cyift, IN Poultry World

Use of Tobacco.

On this subject we give the following
remarks from the Popular Science
Monthly. We recommend them to the
consideration of smokers:
Tobacco belongs to the class of mar
cotic and exciting substances, and has
no food value. Stimulation means alb
stracted, not added force. It involves
the narcotic paralysis of portion of the
functions, the activity of which is essen
tial to healthy life.
cit will be said that tobacco soothes
and cheers the weary toiler, and solaces
the overworked brain. Such may be its
momentary effects, but the sequel can
not be ignored. All such expedients are
fallacious. When a certain amount of
brain-work or hand-work has been per-
formed, nature must have space to re-
cuperate, and all devices for escaping
from this necessity will fail. 1t is bad
policy to set the house on fire to warm
our hands by the blaze. Let it, then,
be clearly understood that the tempo
rary excitement produced by tobacco is
gained by the destruction of vital force,
and that it contains absolutely nothing
which can be of use to the tissues of the
body. -.
Tobacco adds no potential strength
to the human frame. 1t may spur a
weary brain or feeble arm TO undue ex-
ertion for short time, but its work is
destructive, not constructive. 1t can
not add one molecule to the plasm out
of which our bodies are daily built up.
On the contrary, it exerts upon it a most
deleterious influence. It does not sup
ply. but diminishes vital force.
ct has been denied that tobacco
leads to organic disease, but the evil
dence is very strong the other way, and
it would be very remarkable if contin-
ued functional derangement did not Ill
timately lead to chronic arrangement of
the organs that it causes functional
disturbance, no one dreams of denying ;
indeed, it has been remarked that no
hAbitual smoker can be said to have a
perfect days health.
Excessive smoking is nnquestiOnably
bad. And even the smallest quantity of
smoking is very bad for boys. To see
an urclsin ten years old sucking n cigar,
which is nearly as big as himself, is an
unpleasant spectacle, and it bodcs little
for the future energy of the premature
/ smoker.

Simmer Diet for Infants.

of water (no sugar. -
Boil teaspoonful of powdered bar
ley (grind it on a coffee grinder and
gill of water with salt for fifteen min
utes. Strain it and mix it with half as
much boiled milk and a piece of loaf
sugar. Give it lukewarm, through a

Keep the bottle and mouth-piece in
water when not in use. -s.---s-
Give babies of five or six months half
barIey-water and half boiled milk, with
salt and loaf-sugar.
Give older babies more milk in pro-
portion. =
When babies are very costive, take
oatmeal instead of barley, but be sure
to cook and strain it.
When your breast-milk is half enough
for the infant, alternate with bread and
food.
| In hot summer weather, dip a small
piece of litmus paper into the food be-
fore feeding. If the blue paper turns
red, add pinch of baking soda to the
food. fss.l-.,.sE ..
Babies of six months may have beef
tea or beef soup once a day by itself or
mixed with other food.
| Babies of ten or twelve months may
have a crust of bread and piece of rare
beefsteak to suck.
No child under two years ought to eat
from your table.
The summer complaint comes from
over-feeding and hot and foul air. Keep
doors and windows open. Wash you1
children at least twice day. Ten times
are not too many in the hot season.
When babies throw off and purge,
give them nothing to eat for four to siz
hours, but all the cold air you can,
After that, you may give a few drops Of
whisky in a tea-spoonful of ice-watel
every five or ten minutes, but no more
until the doctor comes. When there is
vomiting and purging, give no milk.
Give no laudanum, no paregoric, ne
soothing syrup, no teas.

the complexion ever gave such satisfaction for
this purpose as this Discovery. The effects of
all medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium of the blood are neces-
sarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the
remedy employed. While one to three bottles
clear the skin of pimples blotches, eruptons,
yellow spots, comedones or - grubs, dozen
may possible be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofulous or
virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these
diseases, however. from the common pimple
to the worst scrofula is with the use of this
most potent agent, only matter of time.

FRANKLIN gave excellent advice to
people who desired success IN life; and
yet his rules were by no means infalli-
bic. A man may, by industry and
economy, accumulate large amount of
property, and in the end he may lose 1t.
It is one thing to make money, and
quite another to keep it. There is no
doubt that a life insurance policy in a
good company is a good investment in
the majority of instances. The money
is paid when the family most need it,
and it is usually beyond the reach of
creditors. We do not hesitate to recon-
mend the New York Life Insurance
Company as one of the strongest and
best to all who seek insurance.
