When quite u small boy, like most
other youths, / had great inclina-
ton to attend all the shows, circuses,
negro-dances, concerts, etc., that
came along. On one occasion was
very much amused ut the wit of the
clown who WIS c0nvulsing the
crowd with his grotesque appearance
and witty sayings. After while he
said something the crowd did not
consider very funny, and at which
no one laughed, when a drunken
man, no longer able to bold his
tongue, cried out: OH are u fool IL
"rrue," replied the clown, land so
are you: the only difference Is, | am
fool for money, and you are q fool
for nothing"
Though quite young, the reply of
the clown made IA deep impression
upon my mind, and / Determined
to profit by 1t. In after life / have
generally found that it required
more fools than one to carry on what
we readily condemn as foolish.
When / see advertised I'm the pa
papers splendid lottery schemes"
'sixty thousand dollar prizes, ""great
inducements to buy,n "almost GER
tain Of prize" ETC., think of the
clowns two fools, and how many
buy when but one sells, and excuse
myself from buying ticket. One
is "a fool for money" and the other
is "a fool for nothing"
When ! pass a splendid saloon,
with decanters OF sparkling wines
and brandies set around I'm the most
inviting manner, with smiling clerks
ready to hand you "a glass" l am
sure to think, "there Ia a fool for
money" aud, as the deluded wretch
es crowd around the counter, "these
are the fools for nothing"
In short, sir. whenever any "unu-
sual attraction" any "rare chances
for speculation" offers, I suspect at
once that Ii l take hold of il there
will be another fool at the other end,
and SO lot 1t alone.

So many erroneous impressions

rapidly coming back to the conclu-
sion that 1t would be q good thing
to have all the general laws published
in two newspapers of each county.
The cost would be trifling to each
tax payer, while disadvantage would
be great" Abiding to the publica-
ton and sale of two important laws
in pamphlet form by a Des Moines
firm, he adds, Taxpayers pay az
much for two laws as all the laws
would cost each taxpayer, II pub

lieve majority Of our readers will
concur in his conclusions, for the res-
son he set forth. - Oskal00sd Herald.

WHY EARS SHOULD Nor BE BOXED.
In Physiology for Practical Use
we find the following: There are
things very commonly done that
are extremely injurious to the
ear, and ought to be carefully
avoided. And first childrens ears
onght never to be boxed. We
have seen that the passage OF the
ear is closed by a thin membrane,
especially that adapted to be infu-
enced by every impulse Of the all,
and with nothing but the air to sup
port it internally. What, then, can
be more likely to injure this mem
brane than a sudden and forcible
compression of the air in front OF
it? If any one design to break or
outstretch the membrane he could
scarcely devise a more efficient
meansthan to bring the hand sud,
denly and forcibly down upon the
passage of the ear, thus driving the
air violentlp before it, withno posi-.
bility for its escape but by the mem
brane giving way. Many children
are made deaf by boxes on the cal
in this way"

WOHIAN'S RIGHTS.

The following are the opening
sentences of an address on this sub
ject by Mrs Skinner.
Mrs. President, feller wimmen,
and male trash generally: I am
here today for the purpose of dis
cussing woman's rights, recussing
their wrongs, and cussing the men.
I believe both sex were created
perfectly equal and the woman a
little more equal than the man.
l also believe that the world
would be happier to-day if man nev-
er had existed.
AS a success, man is failure, and
I bless my stars that my mother
was woman!
I not only maintain these princi
pies, but maintain a shirtless hus-
band besides.
They say that man was created
first. Well s'pose he was. Amt
first experiments always failures?
If I was a betting man 7 would
bet $3.50 they are.
The only decent thing about him
was a lib that went to make some,
thing better.
And then they throw into oul
face about taking an apple. II
bet five dollars that Adam boosted
her up the tree and only gave hel
the core.
And what did he do when he wa'
found out? True to his masculine
instincts, he sneaked behind Eve:
Grecian bend and said: "'Twasn
me; twas her, and woman has ha(
to father every mean thing and mo
ther it too.
What we want is the ballot, ant
the ballot we're bound to have, if W
let down our back hair asd swim i;
a sea of sanguinary gore.

INFrDEL1rY.-In6delity is an
evil Of snort duration. at has,"
as a judicious writer observes, "no
individual subsistence given it
the system of prophecy. 1t is not
a beast, but mere putrid excres-
cence Of the papal beast, which,
though it may diffuse death
through every vein Of the body
or which it grew, yet shall die
along with it." It's euormities, as
we have lately seen in neighbor-
ing kingdom, will hasten its over
throw. 1t is impossible that a
system, which by 7ilifying every
virtue and embracing the patron
age Of almost every vice and crime,
wages war with all the order and
civilization of the world; which,
equal 10 the establishment Of no.
thing, is armed only with the en-
crgies Of destruction, can long re-
tain an ascendancy. It is in no
shape formed for perpetuity. Sud,
den in it's rise, and impetuous in
it's progress, it resembles a noun.
tain torrent which is loud, filthy,
and desolating; but, being fed by
no perennial spring, is soon drain
ed off, and disappears. BY per
mitting, to a certain extent, the
prevalence Of in6delity, Provi'
dence is preparing new triumphs
for Religion.-R. Hall.

MODELS OF PRAYER.

Wehave been interested in looking
through the Scriptures for the pur-
pose ofcomparing the prayers there
in recorded with those which we hear
from time to time in public, and We
are astonished to see how they differ
in point, expression, directness, and,
above all, in length, from those
heard in these days in the christian
pulpit. It is not exaggeration to
say that we have listened toa single
prayer longer than the whole ten
that we find in the Bible put to-
gether. The first is in Genesis
xxiy: 12-14. and contairs one hun
dred and ten words, and it is not
more than one minute in length.
The next is Exodus xxxiii; 1915,
and contains one hundred and
eleven words, and is not over a
minute long. The third is in Joshua
vii: 10, and contains ninety words.
The fourth is in 2 Kings xix: 1916,
the prayer of Hezekiah it is COM
posed of one hundred and thirty-four
words, and two minutes would be
ample time to repeat it, Another
is found in Nehemiah i: 5-l1, and
is about two minutes in length :;
another is in Ezra *: 6-15, and is
about three minutes long; another
is in 1 Kings viii: 23-6l, an i'm
portant dedicatory prayer, offered
by Solomon himself, at the dedica-
ton of the temple, and it did not
occupy more than six minutes :;
while that of Daniel *: lilo, was
probably four minutes long. In the
New Testament, the prayer of our
Saviour John xviD is well known it
is contained in twenty-six verses, and
is five minutes long, while the mod
el prayer-the Lords prayer-is
far briefer still. Now here are ten
prayers from those who certainly
knew how to pray, and they are all
less than thirty five minutes long,
OF an average of three minutes
each; and yet we sometimes hear
men pray thirty and forty minutes,
and after wandering all over the
moral universe and wearying their
fellow worshippers with vain repeti,
tions, utterly fail Of the prime oh,
ject ct all public prayer-to lift up
the hearts of men to commune with
heaven. It must be al extraordi-
nary occasion, equal at least to the
dedication of the Jewish Temple
at Jerusalem-an occasion that none
of us shall ever see-to justify a
prayer more than five minutes long.
There are few "Oh's" and "Ahs" in
these models. These authors do not
often say 20 Lord, Lord" but ten
derly, flially, directly, quietly, sim,
ply, they ask the blessing they de-
sire as though they were children
who knew that they were address,
ing One who was more willing to
give them good gifts than they
were to ask them at his hand.

MR.. GILES HOME.

You have done the chores,
haven't you, wife," said Mr.. Giles,
coming in one night about sun
down.
''No, dear, I had supper to get
and the baby was so cross"
You haven't been setting sup
per all the afternoon, I hope"
NO; I had some washing to do,
and the windows to clean, and pies
to bake, and
30, stop that, please. TO hear
you talk one would think you had
more than your share of work. I'm
sure there is no man tries harder
than I do to save his wife steps,
and this is all the thanks I get for
it. Don't go to contradicting me.
Give me the uilk buckets if I ask
you to milk, you will have dozen
excuses. I want Katie to go with
me to keep the hogs off while I
milk
Katie goes and her father keeps
her three-quarters of an hour, and
then tells her she can go and take
care of the baby while her mother
attends to the milk. In about five
minutes lIr. Giles come in to sup
per. His wife is down in the GEL
lar.
Say, wife isn't supper ready?"
'In just minute"
"Just d minute Everything is
done in just q minute. Another
night T suppose 1 will have to
come in and get supper for myself,
after working hard all day. If you
tried as hard as do to make home
pleasant, we would get along great
deal better than we do. You are al
ways behind with everything, and
then you grumble because you have
so much to do. Well supper is ready
at last, is it? It is about time, I
think"
They sit down to the table.
20 Lord, We thank thee for this
and all other blessings; feed us
with the bread OF life and save us
in heaven. Amen. Is this the
best table cloth you have got? II
is? Why don't you buy another
Amt got any money? what did
you do with the money you got fo1
those eggs?"
Bought hat for Katie"
Bought hat for Katie, and me
needing I don't know how many
farm implements I never knew
such extravaganza in my life. Il
would please me exceedingly ii yor
would consult me about such things
after this. I guess III go to bed
just patch that rent in my coat
and, oh! I wore a hole in my socks
to-day. You must either mend OF
get me cut clean pair. There is
a chicken in the barrel by the hen
house; I want that for my break
fast. Come children, come and kiss
papa. Goodnight and don't for

ception Of my room this house of
the Ashleys is heated throughout
with steam, and even that has the
fixtures in it, if one should wish to
use them. Knowing my decided
preference for a grate-6re, [ have
been humored, and the CRATE has
been left.
It all came about in such a quiet
manner, that neither Ned Ashley
nor myself knew that the thing was
actually going on, until one eve
ming when we both came home to,
gether. Dora threw her arms
around his neck, as we stepped into
the hall to divest ourselves OF hats
and coats, and asked: If it WASH t
just splendid Then she asked
us into the parlor, and showed us
the elegant register, and so on
throughout the length and breadth
Of the house, chattering like a mag
pie the while. "You see, I never,
never could endure the idea of that
old furnace; so I just went down
to Nh. Thorntons and told him
that we had concluded to have
steam instead, and that it must be
done at once. So he sent the very
next day, and every night when
they went away Bridget and I cov-
cred up the holes in the floor with
some carpet, and so the thing was
all done without your knowing a
thing about it,
And what did Ned Ashley say?
Did he swear? Did he rave and
tear about like one mad? No, in
deed, not he; he did much wiser
thing. He stopped and kissed his
wife, and said: Its just splendid!"
Which?

WHICH RULED?

xsfOf course you will come to our
wedding, old fellow? You and I
have not gone through our Fresh
man and Sophomore years together,
to part now. Just as if my taking
swife was any difference in our
hendship! Why the only differ
ence there will be is, that while
'yoe yoe now have only my friendship,
you will then have that Of the most
beautiful woman in the world be-
sides"
Thus spake Ned Ashley, my
closest friend. We had entered col
lege together couple Of hot head
ed youths, forever getting into
scrapes, and as readily out OF them'
and throughout maintaining a
friendship that knew no bounds.
] had said :'that I never could see
Ned married" It seemed to me
then, that all the friendship between
Us must be lost when another should
claim him for q follower, and that
other q woman.
But his argument at last prevail
ed and T consented to be present at
the wedding ceremony-nay more,
not only to be present but act as q
groomsnaan.
One thing sorely puzzled me, and
that was the future Of Neds mar
ried life. I knew him to possess
an indomitable will, and subject to
slight fits Of temper; and then l
knew, too, that he held the falsest
OF false ideas that man should
rule in all things.
We had often discussed the mat
Mter of ''wi7es subjecting themselves
into their husbands" and as my be,
lief differed somewhat from his,
had now and then, a rather lively
argument.
Il tell you," said he, one day at
tie end of these, "the woman that
I marry must obey me in all things
never could submit to other than
my own rule. Every man is, OF
should be at the head of his own
family. His word should at al
times be law. Just imagine my
boy, that your wife-if you ever
have one-should take it into he1
head to invite a large party Of
friends to your home against your
! wish. or rather without having con:
Suited you in the matter, and tel
