AN ANTI-cnINEsE BILL.

Senator Sargent of California, yes
terday introduced bill in the United
States Senate to restrict the immigra-
ton of Chinese to the United States.
The bill provides that no master of any
vessel, owned in part or in whole by
citizens of the United States or Of any
foreign country, shall take on board
such vessel at any port in the Chinese
Empire, or at any foreign port or place
whatever, any number exceeding ten
Chinese passengers, with intent to
bring such passengers within the juris-
flietion of the United States, under
renalty of fine of 500 or six months
imprisonment for each passenger ex.
ceeding that number. 1t is now pos
sible that legislation inimical to the
Chinese will be had The whole Pa
cifc coast is aroused on the subject
For years the working classes protested
in vain against the wholesale import
alton of coolies. The IBurlingame
eaty was ratified by the dominant
party when fully three-fourths Of tie
people of the Pacific Coast were OPP
posed to it, The minority comprised
the capitalists. apd capital controlled
aud directed legislation. Should Sar-
geant's bill become law it is doubt
ful if any good will result from it.
The treaty between the United States
and China, accords to Cinnamon in the
United States all the rights and priv
ileges of the most favored nations,
and among these is the privilege of
landing from vessels in any seaport
in the United States. But the Presi-
Dental election is approaching and it
ia order for the party which is re-
sponsible for a treaty which places
Cinnamon on an equality with white
foreigners in the United States, to pro-
pose measures to catch votes.

GOVERN YouRsELF.-A hasty temper Of
ten leads young men into great mistakes. 1t
frequently causes them to misunderstood an
employers intention, and to resent as an In
sui what was meant only as just rebuke.--
In this way young man sometimes loses a
valuable situation, and has to begin the world
over again. And, unfortunately, his hasty
temper does not permit him to learn wisdom
from his experience. On the contrary, it Of
ten leads him again into the same mistake,
and he is again set adrift. His temper grows
worse and worse, until, at last, he becomes
unbearable, and nobody will long keep him in
employment. On the other hand, good
temper and obliging disposition, when coup
led with honesty and industry, are invaluable
qualities in every one who has his way to
make in the world.

YALUE or ROOD.

All the food we eat yields to the body either
warmth or strength. Most articles give both
to a certain degree some warmth only and
not particle Of strength. OF the latter,
drippings sweet oil, butter, hard, molasses
and sugar are prominent hence we use them
in winter to produce heat.
The elements of food which give warmth
and strength are carbon and nitrogen, which
being taken into the system form fat and flesh;
the fat, being consumed, makes the body q
stove the flesh, on the other hand, repre-
sents strength or muscles hence, when a
muscular man is spoken of, it is understood
that he is a strong man.
The scientific analysis of food demonstrates
that various kinds give various degrees of
warmth and strength. A quart or pound of
beer gives but one grain of strength a pound
Of bread ninety grains a pound of beef one
hundred and seventy-five grains, while pound
of cheese made out Of skinned milk yields
three hundred and sixty-four grains of
strength Whereas a pound of fresh butter
gives A, roo grains Of warmth, but not an atom
of strength.
In Health Of Good Living we find the fol-
lowing table containing the nutritive value of
ordinary food, from which we extract. 1t
speaks for itself in decided terms:

A DELUsIoN.-A young man who thinks
that he can lead a reckless and profigate life
until lie becomes middle-aged man, and then
repent and make good and steady citizen, is
deluded by the devil. He thinks that people
are all fools, destitute Of memory. He con-
cludes that when he repents everybody will
forget that he was dissipated wretch. This
is not the case people remember your bad
deeds and forget your good ones. Besides it
is no easy thing to break up in middle age,
bad habits that have been formed in youth.
When horse contracts the habit of baulk-
ing, he generally retains it through life. He
will often perform well enough until the
wheels get into deep hole and then he stops
and holds back. Just SO it is with the boys
who contract bad habits.

ONE STEP AT A TrME.--A great many peo-
pie dshearten themselves by worrying too
much about possible future troubles. Pru-
dence and forethought is commendable, but
mere unreasonable worry should be avoided.
1t is an act of folly for a man to conjure up
all the troubles that might befall him, and
mass them before him as SO many obstacles
to overcome at once. A man at the foot of a
fight of stairs which he is about to ascend,
would be foolish to assume that he must take
all the steps at once, and that because he can
not do that he cannot ascend the stairs at all.
He has only to take one step at a time, and
when he gets to the top step he takes that al
most as easy as he took the first. But when
he gets to the top let him be careful lest he
does not fall all the way down by one misstep.
1t is the same way with the affairs of life.
All we have to do is to take one step at q
time.

A PERMANENT HoME.-To have home
which a man has himself reared or purchased
"a home which he has improved or beautifled
Ia home indeed, which, with honest pride
and natural love, he calls his OWNS an adj
ditional security for any mans virtue. Such
home he leaves with regret TO it he gladly
returns. There he finds innocent and satisfy
ing pleasures. There his wife and little ones
are happy and safe and there all his best af-
fections take root and grow. To such pair,
as time advances, the abode of their early aud
middle life, whence they have, perhaps, all
Departed becomes constantly more dear ; for
it is now scene of precious memories-the
undisturbed declining years And say--what
lapse of time, what varied experience of pros
perity, or sorrow can ever cfface the good i'm
preston made by such homo on the tender
heart Of childhood ! To the tempted youth,
to the wanderer from virtue, to the sad victim
of misfortune, such remembrance has often
proved strengthening monitor, or a healing
balm. Nor can this kindly influence wholly
fail so long as the dear objects of that familiar
scene retain a place in memory, connected, as
they inseparably are, with thoughts of a
fathers councils, a mothers tenderness, a Sis
ter's purity, and a brothers. love.

DIDN'T STAND THE TEST. young man
read in the Ledger a few days ago that if you
wanted to find out if the woman you had Sc
lected for your future spouse had a good
temper you ought to take occasion to step on
her dress, or snap the sticks of her fan, or in
some other way annoy or discompose her.
"If," said the great authority who presides
over the column of advice, {" if she betrays
no sign of ill-temper she will prove model
wife," Accordingly the young man seized
an opportunity when his sweetheart was rig
ged in her most killing array to step on her
trail and pulled out about three yards of
gathers, with rip like peal of thunder, ex-
posing about three-quarters of the frame
work that makes her dress stick out behind.
But, instead Of meeting the accident with
perfect equanimity, she turned round and jab-
bed her parasol into his eye, called him a
lunk-headed leper, and asked him why he
didn't wear his feet sideways. He expresses
himself as thankful that he didn't marry the
girl before finding out what sort of temper
she had.

This table should be in the hands of every
intelligent person, and especially will it be
found of great value to those wishing to make
their small means go as far as possible toward
sustaining life and strength.
There is a powerful argument in favor of
temperance here. 1t will be noticed that
while beer or porter yields one grain of
strength to the pound, skinned cheese yields
364 grains and yet we hear of the poor work.

FRIENDs.-N give up old friends for
new ones. Make new ones If you like, and
when you have learned that you can trust
them, love them If you will, but remember
the old ones still. Do not forget they have
been merry with you in time of pleasure, and
when sorrow came TO you they sorrowed also.
No matter if they have gone down in the So
cial scale, and you up ; no matter If poverty
and misfortune have come to them, while
prosperity and plenty have fallen to you--are
they any the less true for that? Are not their
hearts as warm and tender il they do beat be-
meath home-spun instead of velvet?

full sway. The windows were never cleaned,

iron palisades were rusty for lack of paint.

ice was formed of the thickness of window

selves from the corn produced in 1916 for the
seed of the Spring of 1917.
