Profitable POlitpness.

The Boston TydgelIer, in commenting on
the prevalence of rudcness, tells the follow
ing incident that happened some years ago
There was very plainly dressed, elderly lady
who was frequent customer Mt the then
leading dry goods store in Boston. No one
i'll the store knew her even by name All
the clerks but one avoided her and gave their
attention to those who were better dressed
and more pretcntious.
The exception was young man who had
Il conscientious regard for duty and system
He never left another customer to wait on
the lady, but when at liberty he waited on
her with as much attention rs if she had been
Il princess.
This continued a year or two, till the
young man became of age. One morning
the lady approached the young man, when
the following conversation took place -
Lady. Young man, do you wish to go into
business for yoursclf?" "Yes ma'am," he
replied, "but | have neither money, credit
nor friends, nor will any one trust me-
"Well,' continued the lady, you 60 and Sc

her address. The young man went found a
capital location, and good store, but the
landlord required security, which he could
not give. Mindful of the lady's request, he
forthwith went to her and reported. "Well"
she replied, you go and tell Mr.. - that |

How TO Feed earn.

Professor Baird, of the United States Fish
Commission, looks for important results
from the introduction ofthe carp, which occu-
pies the same position among fish as poul-
try does among birds and as sheep and pigs
do among mammals Carp readily consume
corn, kitchen refuse, cabbage leaves squashes
and melons The same amount of vegcta-
BILE matter fed to carp will make twice as
as much flesh as when given to chickens or
swine besides, it is equally palatable Sew
eral improved races OF carp from Hungary
and Bohemia have been introduced here by
the commission. They have increased yery
rapidly. and within year over 5000 persons
with private ponds have been supplied -
Among the specimens collected by the Smith
sonian Institute is a carp which was sent to
Texas last April, at which time it was four
inches in length. 1t was brought back De.
Cember |, measuring twenty inches in length
and weighing ) pounds A still greater
growth is represented by three specimens of
the same original size sent to Georgia also in
last April, which, when caught n few weeks
ago, measured 81, 23and 25mches respective

we morn for him by degrees that be-

blessed hope that we shall be reunited
in some more perfect sphere but so
far as this death is concerned there's
an end of him. However near and
dear he was, the time arrives when
he does not form part of our daily
thought; he ceases to be even an alb
straction. We go no more with flow
ers and tears into the quiet cemetery:
only the rain and the snowflakes fall
there; we leave it for fingers of

may be, to all intents and purposes,
dead to us. but we have not lost him.
The ring of the door bell at midnight
may be his ring the approaching
footstep may be his footstep; the un-
expected letter with foreign post
marks may be from his hard. He
haunts US as the dead never can.

DR.. Campbell, whom | have often

which he spent his life and energy
still lives in its two or three hundred
thousand members to bless the world,
among whom is the estimable man
who has just been chosen to fill the
Presidential chair of this Republic,
who also maintains still higher dis
tinction as true christian and an ex
horter in the humble church of the
Disciples.
Will only notice one more re-
markable feature of those times. For
two or three generations the surplus
grain and fruit, turned into whiskey
and brandy formed the staple of
commerce abroad, and was used as IA
family beverage and as token of
friendship in all the public gatherings
and social relations of this commu-
nifty. Old M0nongahela whiskey had
a fame world wide, both for its auan
tity and quality, and there were
more still houses engaged in its man
ufacture than there were school
houses and churches put together.
j There appears to have prevailed q
mental and moral blindness as there
was no party or religious teacher who
rose up to say that it was all wrong.
buntil 1926 or '27 and after the Nation
al road had furnished another market
for the grain. Then, the increased
! moral light and great religious awak-
ening opened the eyes and stirred
the conscience of the church, and of
all good citizens, and temperance
reformation set in which soon swept
aut of existence three-fourths of all
the distilleries in the county. Here
then, as | believe, was the origin of
temperance societies pledged in writ
| ing to tStOtal abstiAence fran all in
toxicating drinks, which has since
been so universally adopted to guard
the young and restore the fallen from
the power of this drunken demon,
the worst and head one of them all.
