The CITY FINANCEs.--The estimates for
the expenses Of the city for the coming year
amount to S3ll 800 being s5l,350 less than
The appropriations for the present year. There
nsai not therefore b. any increase Of the city
tax. This will prove highly gratifying to every
citizeu as it Is evident that the members OF
Council are determined TO conduct the affairs
OF the city ptudenLly aud economically
The present deficiency is mainly owing to the
failure Of many parties to pay for paving and
other work, and a failure to sell the bonds au'
:hoiiled to fund the floating debt, owing to the
stringehcy in the money market With u re-
vval of business the condition ofthings will

DRUGGING CHILDREN.

An eminent physician says, that after
twenty-five years experience, he is salts
fed that the practice of drugging chill
dren with soothing syrup and other prep
arations containing the principle of op-
ium, is very destructive to the nervous
system, and almost sure to begat taste
for alcohol and opium in after life.
Mothers who are in the habit either of
quieting crying babies with drugs or
permitting nurses to do so, will act the
part of wisdom if they act upon the hint
given by this eminent physician. The
appetite for stimulants and opiates which
ruins many a man and woman, is doubt
less in many instances, first created in
the years of infancy and it is a lament
able fact that the origin of an appetite
for such things often antedates the peri
cd of infancy. Intemperate fathers and
mothers have much to answer for in that
respect.-Pacifc Christian Aduocate. !.
There are mothers as we'll as nurses
and servants, who habitually "dose''
children to make them sleep, while they
are ''having a good time Oh, the evil
of these soothing syrups! They make
idiots, imbeciles, or permanent invalids

MIR. RUsKIN ON DRINKING.

Do you know how much corn land in
the United Kingdom is occupied in sup
plying you with the means of getting
drunk Mind, I am no temperance man.
You should have as much beer and alco-
hol as was good for you if had my way.
But the beer and alcohol which are not
good for you-which are the ruin of so
many Of you, suppose you could keep
the wages you spend in that liquor in
the savings bank, and left the land, now
titled to grow it for you, to natural and
sober beasts, do you think it would be
false economy :? Why, you might have
a workingmen's park for nothing, in
every country, bigger than the Queens,
and your own homes all the more CON-
Portable. | had no notion myself till the
.other day what the facts were in this
matter. Get if you can, Professor Kinks

Co.. and read, for beginning, his 21O
chapter. on land and liquor and then,
as you have leisure, all the book care
fully. Not that he would help me out
with my park plan he writes with the
simple idea that the one end of humani-
ty is to eat and drink and it is inter-
esting to'see Scotch professor thinking
the lakes of his country were made to
be reservoirs, and particularly instanc-
ing the satisfaction of thirsty GLASGOW
out of Loeb Katrine so that, hencefor-
ward, it will be proper in Scotch eco
nomical circles not to speak of the Lady
of the Lake, but of the Lady of the Res
ervoir. Still, assuming that to eat and
drink is the end of life, the Professor
shows you clearly how much better this
end may be accomplished than it is now,
and the broad fact which he brings out
concerning your drink is this: that
about one million five hundred thousand
acres of land in the United Kingdom are
occupied in producing strong liquor (and
| don't see that he has included in this
estimate what is under the wicked woods
of Kent it is curious what difficulty
people always seem to have in putting
anything accurately into short state
ment.) The produce of this land, which
is more than all the arabic for bread in
Scotland, after being manufactured into
drink, is sold to you at the rates-the

pe pence for two shillipgs worth yin. apppv 1.-the the

WORTH CoNsIDERING.-It must be
conceded, as fact, with few exceptions,
that if two men start out in life, with
an equal amount of money-say S1O,-
900 each, and the one invests his in a
legitimate business, or in mortgages,
ground-rents, loans, or in any way by
which he will receive regular income
from it of 6 per cent. per annum-and
the other invests his money in stocks,
railroad securities, or by discounting
paper, ETC.. yielding him II, Is, 20 and
"a per cent. during indefinite periods
of time, at the end of twenty years.
both in the meantime being equally
watchful of their interests, the one who
receives 6 per cent. without risk will
be worth more than the one who receives
1924 per cent. with risk. The reason
is obvious. The one who invests at 6
per cent has his money constantly en-
ployed, and at the end Of every six
months or year he draws his interest
and reinvests it-while the other who
invests at heavy rates of interest, at
different times, meets with losses, by
failures, lawsuits, etc., or by keeping
his money idle for opportunities to in
vest at higher rates of interest.-PHsta.

GOING TO BED.

We should never 60 to bed, with a
hope for rest, sleep, and perfect repose,
until ''all ready The preliminartes
for retirement are all just as important
as are those for the days duties. We
must not go to bed with an overloaded
stomach, in an anxious or troubled state
of mind, with cold extremities, or with
out anticipating and responding to the
calls of nature in all respects. Stand
ing over register, before fire, or in
a stove-heated room, is not the best
way to get warm, for nights sleep.
We should take such vigorous exercise
as will give quick circulation to the
blood, and not depend on artificial, but
on natural heat. Attention to all these
things, followed by such devotional ex-
ercises as will bring all the feelings,
emotions and sentiments into accord
with the Divine will, subduing passion,
removing hatred, malice, jealousy, re-
venge, and opening the portals of Heav.
en- to all who seek rest, peace and
sweet repose.

singing sweet, quiet hymn-':Th'

"FED BY RAVENS. The Laconia
Democrat tells the following singular
incident:
1--WE are told of one of old who was
fed by ravens but we had not supposed
until within few days, that the mira
Gle would be duplicated in this age A
few days since a we'll known citizen,
then living near the Wiers, was quite
sick, and a diet of partridge was recon-
mended, to procure which, a son of the
sick man travelled the woods in all di-
rections, without success, and returned
home disappointing the household.
Very soon hawk was seen flying over
with something struggling in his claws,
and that something proved to be nice,
fat partridge, wounded but not dead
that while over the door yard of the
sick mans house. got free of the hawks
claws and came tumbling down at the
very door where he was needed. The
time was when such an event woule
have been accounted a miracle, now i
only happened so.
