out of existence, and is totally
wasted. The money itself remains,
it has gone to China, perhaps, to
pay for years labor of the many men
who have been making fireworks, and
these have spent it for food and clothes,
while they have been at work; but they
have nothing 10 show Tor their labor;
what has come id (has gone out; and
so with those who earned the money
with which the fireworks were pur-
chased, and every person engaged in
the business of making and procuring
them. This Is typical case, and there
are many others of which this is type.
A person, family, or nation is wealthy
or poor as it saves or spends; and if we
will only look into the secret causes OF
many cases of poverty which are Just
now causes of complaint, we shall ind
there has been too much spending; and
on the contrary, those cases in which
person or family stands in better cir
cumstances than before will be found to
have resulted from habit of saving.
Extravaganza is without excuse. There
is no true enjoyment in wasting any
thing, nor in squandering the proceeds
of former work in idleness; nor working
hard for time, that an opportunity may
be secured of going on debauch. That
is cynical and a vicious, although old,
adage, "Let US eat and drink, for to-
morrow we die;'' it is repeated in fewer
words in the modern, "a merry life and
q short one.'' The true philosophy is
to use our time and our opportunities
that we may increase the true happiness
of not only ourselves, but of those about
US, and that we may leave the world,
when we have done with it, better off
than it was when we entered it and in
herited the fruits of the labor of others
who had preceded US in the same virtu-
Gus efforts. And this can only be
effected by industry and well regulated
economy which is neither niggardliness
nor wastefulness.-Rural NeW Yorker.

The Health of the Brain.

In Association Hall Friday evening
the first of a series of ssmedical talks to
young men, under the direction of the
Young Mems Christian Association, was
given by DIR. E. C. Segllin, his subject
being "Hygiene of the Brain" DR..
Seguin said that. while the inheritance
from parents of q morbid brain might
disqualify one from many duties in life,
its possession ought not to be looked
upon as source of terror, nor should q
tendency to mental disease or disorder
be allowed to stand in the way of q
choice of vocation. One of the original
conditions of a well-acting brain is q
freedom from early nervous diseases,
which occur during the first five or six
years of life. The abnormal condition
of the digestive organs is frequently the
cause of cerebral troubles. Gluttony
stupefies the intellect, and a man who
eats heartily is untitled for work for q
certain period afterward. The chief
error of all men of sedentary occupa-
tions is that they eat too much vegetable
and starchy food. Physicians differ on
the subject, but it is DR.. Seguin's ex.
perience that men who never get suffi-
Gent supply of oxygen cannot burn up
this amount of carbon in this kind of
food, and that in many cases nervous
prostration is the result. Dyspepsia is
proverbially known to affect the
brain, by slow and insidious i'm
pairment of the cerebral action.
Multitudes blame their physicians
for not curing them of dyspepsia, but
there are very few who have sufficient
sel-control to abstain from tempting
dishes. Want of sleep is often the rea-
son for brain diseases, but its potency in
producing insanity is exaggerated. Mar
cotics and stimulants affect the mind in
juriously. Many medical men believe
that wine and beer at meals have nu-
tritious powers, but as body they set
their faces against the abominable Gus
tom of tipping for sociability or for
s'toning up.' One who is given to this
habit is liable to attacks of insanity at
the age of thirty-five or forty, and to re-
verses in life which his friends will at
tribute to bad luck, but which his ply
stefan knows are caused by the physical
deterioration of the brain. The use of
narcotics is more common than sup
posed, not among men but among wom-
en-. Distaste for work, except in one
constitutionally lazy, is sign of cere-
bral fatigue. Brain-workers should
take just enough exercise to keep up
good circulation. For food they require
what can be digested easily, such as an
imal food, milk, eggs, game, fish and
oysters. Wealth and power have grad
ually accumulated in the hands of beef
eating peoples. The Asiatic nations.

THE BABrs NGH1.BELL

Oh, It was funny! Upon my word
The Queerest story that ever heard
The one that lately TO me was told
About baby just one year old.
It gives baby terrible fright
To wake up suddenly in the night;
And what can it do but cry and scream
When it's had such dreadfully naughty
dreamI
But this little baby Of whom tell
Reaches over the crib and takes bell,
Which he rings as loud as ever he can,
Till the mother comes to her little man.
You may be sure that she gives a spring
When she bears the bell go ting-a-lin9-lin0,
And hugs and kisses away each trace
OF frown that rests on the baby's face.
Now, wouldn't believe this story: couldn't,
II I'd made it up; and know you wouldn't:
But it, true, for twas told me not long ago
BY the baby's mother, who ought to know.

opened his half-closed eyes with sud-

A Fortified Baby, or What Is TT

Mr.. w. G.. Renfrew, of Russell, Ark,
and Capt. w. j. Patton, of Little Rock,
have gone to Washington to exhibit to
the officers of the Smithsonian Institute
the Eureka Baby" specimen Of
archaeology found on the LIST of last Oc-
tober at Eureka Springs, Ark. The baby
was found, about four feet below the
surface, on the lot of John B. Hebron, q
resident of the town, and it was discov-
cred by laborer named F. III. Camp
bell, while he was digging well. The
baby had coating of q composition
about as light as pumice-stone, but this
covering, varying in thickness from half
an inch to an inch and u half, has since
been removed from the entire head and
shoulders and the right side of the body,
showing one leg complete. The baby is
two feet and two inches long, and weighs,
with the composition coating, eighty-five
pounds. The head and limbs exposed
are said to be rightly proportioned. The
cheeks are pulled out and the legs and
arms are plump. The general color of
the baby is bluish-brown, varying in
lightness. The baby looks very much
like q Hindoo idol. MIR. Renfrew, the
present owner of the baby, has found q
good many people who believe it to be
q petrified human being, but it is hardly
necessary to say that this opinion is not
held by scientist. The body is evil
dehtly work of srt, and the first inn
portant question to be determed in con-
nection with it is in regard to the time
it was deposited at the place where it
was found by the well-digger, Camp
bell. Whether it was placed there by q
prehistoric race or by q representative
of the present race, the people of the
Institute will be called upon
to decide.-ChicGgo Tribune.

Saving and Spending.

The accumulated wealth of nation is
che sum of its savings. This may be in
the shape of money, lands, cattle or any
pronerty which costs money or labor, or
which is the direct increase of such prop
'erty. If a person saves out of his income
a hundred dollars and keeps it in any
form OF permanent property, it remains
as wealth and may be used to increase
itself. But the moment the hundred
dollars i. expended in destructible prop
erty, that is, such as may wear out or
does not reproduce itself, it begins to
vanish and finally disappears. For in
stance. if the hundred dollars be spent
for costly clothes, a carriage or driv-
ing horse, a hunting dog or a cask of
wine, it is evident that 1t Immediately
begins to wear away, to depreciate in
value, or to be used up; and it is only u
question of time how long, or soon, be-
fore it will come to an end. But If q
cow, a workhorse, or a piece of land is
purchased, or the money or its repre-
sentative is spent to reclaim q marsh,
to drain useless land, or to erect build
ing, it at once becomes reproductive,
remains intact, and earns interest for its
use, or it wastes but slowly, and, in the
wasting or wearing of it, it not only re-
place itself, perhaps many times, but
gives continual profit for its use. So far
as money or labor is used for the latter
class of purposes, it is not spent, but is
saved. 1t is also saved and remains or
reappears as wealth, when it is used for
any necessary purpose, as the produc-
stion or purchase of food and clothing,
suitable for its owners business; or for
tools, or anything which viii enable him
to work to replace it. It is spent and
disappears as property or wealth, when
it is used for purposes of luxury or waste
of any kind, giving no valuable return
for its use, Notwithstanding it may have
been paid out as wages for laborers or
artisans.

dered and disappeared in villainous

ECmoEs FROM 4 PAST Love

A dead leaf rustling meath the foot
Will bring to memory's view
A day when every pulse was stirred
BY eyes Of liquid blue;
When all the wayblers in The wood
Made music sweet and clear
And, clasping close her hand, / sighed =
"fTis heaven to wander here"
A CLINT Of sunshine on the stream
viii bring to fancy's gaze
A crown Of hair toe richly rare
For words of idle praise;
And dreaming on that distant past,
feel the subtle thrill
With which her soft caressing voice
Was wont my heart to fill.
The tender love Of bygone days.
All, who would scorn its power?
Rich autumn's fruit if but the crown
or spriRgtime's fragile flower;
And oil that Joy that lights my life
Would not be half so sweet
Without these echoes from that love
So distant, yet complete

What an Albany Man Said.

One of the lumber dealers in thi,

every carload sent him, and demand.
ed discounts therefor, and this spring
1T was impossible to please him. M
matter how carefully lumber and shin.
giles were culled and billed here, he
was sure to write back that they were
not up to the standard. Some time
ago load Of sstar" shingles was sent
him. The "star" shingles beat any

A Gigantic Sugar Corn Factory.

The Chicago Sugar Refining com
pany are building factory to convert
$4,000 bushels of corn into sugar a day
or something like 100000 bushels a
year. The buildings cover 100000
square feet, and are expected to cost
$l,5OO,OOO. The sugar-house is 16C
feet square, with eleven stories and
basement, and 140 feet high. 1t is to be
of wood and brick, containing 4, 600, 600
bricks. 1t will be supported by ninety
piers of masonry, resting on piles, each
pier carrying about 400 tons. There
will be required $4,000 forty-foot piles,
or 31S miles of piling.
Adjoining the sugar-house is build
ing for corn, 60 by 100 feet, and three
stories high. 1t contains five large
steam engines, two pumping engines,
one flowing engine and several small
steam pumps. The pumps have Ca
pacity of 100000 gallons per day.
The steam engines will be equal to
1000 horse power, and the blowing en-
CINE blower furnishes BLAST for 1000
horse power boilers.
Next to the corn house is the filler
house, 120 by 100 feet, and eleven
stories high. This building is fire.
proof one. built of brick. iron columns,
WROUGHT irvii iiuur beams, n,t9l brick
arch floors. Its twenty-four piers carry
500 tons each, or 10000 tons. There
are $500 forty-foot piles driven fifty
feet below the surface.
The next building is a corn house,
sixty feet square and three stories high,
with machinery in it to empty the cars
automatically.
The next is boiler house, rs by $50
feet in size, three stories and basement,
with coal bin suspended above the
boilers to feed them automatically with
coal. The boilers have q capacity of
1000 horse power. There are twenty
of these, known as the Babcock & Will
son section boilers.
The chimney for the house is 240
feet high, with a twelve-foot inside fue.
The base is forty feet square.
Between the boiler house and the
chimney is an economizer, that the
waste gases of the boilers pass through
on the way to the chimney. By this
means the heat is utilized by pumping
the feed waters Of the boiler through
this economizer.
The works will commence with 49,
600 bushels of corn per day, which will
soon increase to $4,000 per day. The
corn can be received by car Or vessel,
and the goods likewise shipped.
The company will manufacture all
kinds of starch for laundry and culinary
purposes, syrup and grape sugar.
