PRESENT MODE OF COLLECTING.
~up CONTROVERSY BETWEEN MERCHANTS AND I'M
ponrERs AND THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
PROPOSED REDUCTION OF THE NUMBER OF
GRADES.
The changes that have taken place in the
methods of manufacturing sugar, since the
present tariff law was enacted, have caused
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue orders to
collectors of revenue to disregard color tests IN
estimating the value of sugar, in all cases where
there is evidence that it does not correctly in
dictate its true saccharine strength. The Sec
retary of the Treasury Is of the opinion that
there should be a change in the mode OF col
lecting revenue on sugar, and that the number
of grades should be reduced.

Purity.

Nothing makes a man so in love
with purity as purity. Many a man
has been lifted out of debasing sins
against which he has yainly strug.
gled by coming to know and love a
pure, sweet woman. 1t is the sight
Of embodied goodness that mikes US
want to be good. Many a mother by
the quiet usefulness of her life fills
her children with a desire to be like
her that makes them in their turn
unselfish. There are obscure men
and women who hardly in their
lives utter word Of conscious teach.
ing, who by their examples do more
to make people around them gentle
and truthful and Christian.like than
any preacher can do. It's not those
who talk about goodness, but those
who are good, that are the light Of
the world.

How She Knew.


She was very small girl, says the
Dover Democrat, but, as horsemen
say, she had every long head" II
was after the recent snow storm, and
the small girls big sister expected
Edward that night. As evening
drew on apace, and the young lady
retired to wash her hands and build
a three-story-and-attic building on
the top other head, the small girl,
with a little coal shovel, removed the
snow from the sidewalk to the stoop.
The family were at supper, when
suddenly the bell rang. Both sisters
started to their feet, and, as the ED.
est welcomed her lover, the small
girl, in tone of establishment, said:
well, Ed. Harvey! how in the world
did you get in this house?" "Why?"
said the young man, bashfully, as he
stroked the child's head. "Why?
Because | piled up the snow on the
stoop, and | didn't think you could
get in!" "Who told you 1 was com
ing?" "0h, l knew, cos sister has
been curling her hair and pairing her
nails all the afternoonl"

Will He succeed.

In nine cases out of ten, a mans
life will not be a success if he does
not bear burdens in childhood. II
the fondness or the vanity of the
father or mother has kept him from
hard work; if another always helped
him OUT at the end Of his'row; if in
stead of taking his turn at pitching
off he slowed away all the time-in
short, if what was light fell to him,
and what was heavy about the work
to some one else; if he has been per-
mitted to shirk, until Sinking has
become habit, unless a miracle has
been wrought, his life will be fail
ure, and the blame will not be half
so much his as as that of his weak
and foolish parents.
On the other hand, if a boy has
been brought up to do his part, new.
er allowed to shirk his responsibility,
or to dodge work whether or not it
made his headache, or soiled his
hands, until bearing burdens has be-
come a matter of pride, the heavy
end of the wood his choice, parents
as they bid him good-by may dismiss
their fear The elements of success
are his, and at some time and in
some way the world will recognize
his capacity.

gentleman with money to spare, who
was out seeing life.
"Would he wager with others?"

Thirty dollars in small bets were
finally wagered. The elderly man
quietly remarked with faint smile,
that he thought he would have to do
better this time. Il should SMILE"
answered his jauuty opponent, as he
made the first shot and lost it. The
elderly man then quietly held his
cue until he got the balls into cor.

his gains, he was about to depart,
when the young gentleman insisted
that he was fraud, and wanted his
money back. The old gentleman
quietly said there was mistake

self.Respect.

Always remember no one can de,
base you but yourself. SANDER, sa-
tire, falsehood, injustiee-these can
never rob you of your manhood.
Men may lie about, they may de-
nounce you, they may cherish sus-
picions manifold, they may make
your failings the target of their wit
or cruelty; never be alarmed-never
swerye an inch from the line your
judgment and conscience have
marked out for you. They cannot
by all their efforts take away your
knowledge of yourself, the purity Of
your character and the generosity Of
your nature. While those are left
you are in point of fact unframed.

An Old Fable warmed Over.

There was once dog who located
himself in a manger, and would not
let any one else occupy it. The
COWS, oxen, and other domestic ami.
mails attempted to go in out of the
wet, but the dog made such a row
about it they left. Finally, an old
bull, hearing Of the state Of affairs,
said:
"What kind of hair,pin is this
dog? I'll lift him one for luck"
The COWS said: "Go in, oldboy, and
walk on him."
The bull went in, and charging on
the dog, sent him through the open
road, and, when he came down, gave
him another toss, remarking "Heads
or tails" and some of the cows called
heads, and some tails, but the dog
was go mixed up that it was about

then occupied the manger unmo.
