Too many spend money, and too few
earn it.
Too much money is spent wastefully
and needlessly, and too little saved and
made productive and accumulative.
We are too speculative, INSCRIPTIONS
and actually dishonest in our efforts to
make money.
Too many of US prefer idleness to in
dustry and too few of US know how to
work and derive pleasure and profit from
our labor
We talk and read too much, and act
too little
We roll about too much stones that
gather no moss, enrichiug corporations
and specializing capitalists, and defraud-
ing ourselves of the profits of our own in
dusty.
In short, we are too much what we
ought not, and not enough what we ought
to be.

The last Of His Race.

From the Detroit Free Press
An Indian had been picked up drunk,
and though it was proposed to let him go
over the river, it was desirable to have
him understand that no Indian has any
more rights than a white man.
''Child Of the whispering forest-son
of the grassy plains-it grieves my spirit
to see you here" said his honor. "Only
a few more moons will come and 90 be-
fore you will be gathered to the happy
hunting grounds Of your brothers gone

prices. Virginia grew enormously ricL
| from the sudden rise of an artificial taste.
From 1924, when the production of to
bacco was first made royal MONOPOLY,
until the close Of the colonial period the
production and the consumption rose with
equal rapidity, and in 1875, So, 900 hods
heads were exported annually, and the
sale OF tobacco brought in nearly 81, ,O0O,.
600 to the Southern colonies. This was
equal TO about one third of the whole
export Of the colonies. Happily since
that period the proportion has rapidly
decreased, and more useful articles have
formed the larger part of the export from
the New World to the Old.
One of these was rice A governor OF
South Carolina, it Is related, had been in
Madagascar, and seen the plant cutiva-
ted In its hot swamps. He lived in
Charleston, on the bay, and it struck him
that marshy spot IN his garden might
well serve for plantation Of rice. just
then (1694) vessel put in from NADIA
gascar in distress, whose commander the
governor had formerly known. Her
wants were literally relieved. In graft
tude for the kindness he received, the
master gave the governor a bag of rice.
1t was sown and produced abunlantly.
The soil proved singularly favorable for
its culture. The marshes of Georgia and
South Carolina were soon coveren with
rice plantations. A large part of the crop
was exported to England. In 1924,
l0O,OOO barrels were sent out from South
Carolina alone. In 1861, the value of
its rice crop was more than 81, 800, 900.
Its white population could not then have
been more than 40, 900, and it was easy
to conceive the tide of wealth that was
distributed annually among its small band
of planters. They built costly mansions
on the coasts and bays, lived in fatal
luxury, were noted for their will excesses
and often fell speedy victims to the fevers
of the malariOus soil. Indigo, sugar,
molasses, tar, pitch, and great variety
Of valuable productions added to the
wealth Of the South. But cotton, which
has grown through many vicissitudes to
be the chief staple of British and Amer
lean trade, was, at this period, only cui-
tivated in small quantities for the use Of
the farmers. 1t was spun into coarse
cloths. But it was not until Whitney's
invention, in 1893, that it could be readily
prepared for commerce, and to the inven-
tive genious of Connecticut the Southern
States owe the larger part of the wealth
and political Importance.

The following is the Presidents thanks.
giving proclamation,
4 PROCLAMATION By THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
We are reminded by the changing
seasons, that it is time TO pause in our
daily avocations and offer thanks to Al
mighty God, for the mercies and abun-
dance of the year which is drawing to a
close
The blessings of free government con-
tlnue to be vouchSafed to US; the earth
has responded TO the labor of the hus-
bandmaD; the land has been free from
pestilence, internal order is being main
tanned, and peace with other powers have
prevailed.
1t is fitting that at stated periods We
should cease from our accustomed pur-
suits, and from the turmoil of our daily
lives, and unite in thankfulness for the
blessings of the past, and in the cultiva-
ton of kindly feelings toward each other
Now, therefore, recognizing these con-
siderations, l, Ulysses $. Grant, Presi-
dent of the United States, do recommend
to all citizens to assemble in their respec-
tive places Of worship on Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day of November next, and
express their thanks for the mercy and
favor OF the Almighty God, and laying
aside all political contentious and all
secular occupations, to observe such day
as day OF rest, thanksgiving, and
prayer.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and seal, and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington on
this, the tweuty-sevenih day of October,
in The year 1874, and Of the indepen-
dence OF the United States the ninety
eighth.

Fruit butter may be made in the coun-
try very easily and cheap. The same
purpose that sugar subserves in the man.
ufactories here may be accomplished
there by the use of cider When apples
are ripe make, say three barrels of cider.
Then pare and core four bushels of APP
pies. Then boil down the three barrels
of cider to one and half, and set it con-
venient to the copper kettle, in which
place the four bushels of apples. Pour
on the apples from the cider enough to
answer the purpose, and fire up. AS the
cider boils away add more and more un-
til it is all used up, and the contents of
the kettle are brought down to proper
consistency, of which one must be jugde.
A little practice will make one perfect in
this process. This is for apples. It will
apply equally as well TO any other kind
of fruit from which it is practicable to OBJ
tain the juice as one would from apples. -
