HOW APPEARANCES DECEIVE

A Michigan temperance advocat,
recently stated in a speech that he
watched the doors of saloon in {
certain village for an houl one dav
and saw thirty-one men go ano
come. He therefore assumed that
thirty-one drinks had traded own
ers, and that the town was full ot
tipplers. Never was a man more
grievously mistaken. Nothing is
more deceptive than the saloon
business. Of the thirty-one men he
saw enter, perhaps not over five took
drink.
When you see a fat man rolling
into saloon on a hot day, your
first though; is that he will fling his
hat on the floor, fall into a chair
and call for claret with ice in it, and
you wrong him. He simply enters
the saloon to see if coal will be any
higher if he waits another month
before 5nying. The saloon keeper
always knows whether coal will be
up or down. and is always willing
to tell
You see a couple of lawyers enter
saloon, and your impression is
that they are going to shake dice
for the drinks. Nothing could be
more erroneous. They are. simply
going in to consult State map to
decide bet that Fishkill is in Bass
county. Having secured their il
formation, they walk right out,
without even stopping to reflect on
the awful suction nature must have
given man. to enable him to pull
whole glassful of lemonade through
a straw six inches long.
An insurance agent is encounter
ed as he comes out of saloon,
wiping his mouth on the back of his |
hand. The public at once jump to
the conclusion that he has been
struggling with brandy smash.
There's where the public wrcng
hlm. He holds a policy eon the
saloon, and he accidentally dropped
in to see if the stock was being kept
up to given figures. A fly bit him
ou the cnin, and he instinctively
wiped his mouth
A young man in this city lost his
in a bank. because he was
'een coming out of saloon, and
vas heard to say: "Ah! that cools
ne off" Instead of dying of
broken heart, as some bank clerks I
would, this young man produced &
proofs that he went to the saloon to
'uy some old beer tumblers for his 6
wife to put up jelly in, and that as t
le came out the cool breeze struck s

LEARN A TRADE.

which the rapid increase of civiliza

to is the mistaken idea so prevalen
among our BOYS and young men
that to learn trade is beneath th.
dignity of gentleman. I heard ;
young man the other day expressing

He was the son of dry goods clerl

present position from the anvil of a
blacksmith, in the mill which he
now controls.

The young mans nose was eleva-

ing myself justice in learning the
trade. as I hope to make my way
up the ladder, by mental abilities,
rather than BY physical exertions.
The merchant dismissed him with

said:
"When will the average boy learn

Returning home that evening I
over his words. I was

mark really true? ] looked around
