THE WINNING OF WEALTH We believe
the winning of wealth to be a perfectly
legitimate pursuit. Wealth has great and
beneficent uses, and the world would 90
very slowly if the money could not be nc
cumulated in wise and enterprising hands
but wealth may be used to make all men
near it prosperous and happy, Or it may be
used to make them poor and miserable.
When rich man is only excited by his
wealth with the desire to be richer, and
goes on to exact larger profits and to grind
the faces OF the poor. in order that he may
be superhuously rich, he becomes inhuman
and unchr stian. The Christian use of
wealth is what we need in this country
and in all countries. 1t is not that wealth
does not give in charity. 1t is not that
wealth is not sufficiently taxed for the sup
port of those who are wrecked in health or
fortune, but it is that wealth does not give
the people a chance to escape from pow
erty; that it does not share it chances with
the poor, and point the pathway for the
poor toward prosperity. As rule, wealth
is only brotherly toward wealth, and the
poor man feels himself cut off from sym.
pathy with those who have the power of
winning money. We may rest assured of
one thing, namely, that the poor in the
future will insist on being recognized. If
they are not recognized-if they are ignor-
ed in the mad greed for wealth at any
cost to them-they will make the future a
troubled and terrible one for our children
and our chldren's children.-J. G. Hol-
land, in Scri6ner for July.

In view of the fact that millions Of tons
OF coal are going out of these valleys an
nually, the question as to the supply con-
fronts us.
1t is not positively inezhausti6le, but
practically we may say, the supply is
exhaustless. For example, MIR. John
Jermyn, residing near Scranton, has en-
tered into compact with certain rail
road to furnish fur hundred thousand tons
of coal annually for transportation over
that road. and says that the supply from
the thousand acre lot controlled by his
company will yield that amount annually
for the next century. This new road will
transport not less than million tons each
year from the Lackawanna valley alone
Some of the old roads. like the Lehigh
Valley, transport several millions of tons
to the several markets, east and west, from
the valleys above mentioned. As write,
I can see the long coal trains pushing on
toward the seaboard with their valuable
freight.
The annual income of some of our
millionaires reaches from five thousand
dollars to twenty thousand dollars, and
this they receive, whether the company,
leasing the mine, take from it none or the
full amount agreed upon, If more than
the terms of the lease allow, then u royalty
is paid upon all extra amounts which may
be mined.
In my next will notice some hindrances
to mining.

BENEFIT OE QUICK WoRK.-The rapid
worker has not time to get disguised with
his work-it is out of his hands long be
fore it grows wearisome. Disgust is the
product of dawdling effort. If the work
be somewhat varied, the pleasure in con.
nection with Its completion is varied too.
Hence. perhaps, the reason why the total
and sudden giving up of work is often at
tended with evil results. The transition
from life full of activity and rich in the
enjoyment of successful labor, to a life of
utter idleness, with no such vivid enjoy
ment. has often proved fatal. There is
too little activity in the new life and too
little of the pleasure of activity. Idleness
without the excitement and pleasure of
work. becomes depressing. The vital
forces droop and decay. On the other
hand, to the busy worker rest and recrea-
tion have a double relish No holiday is
so refreshing as that in which he runs
away from his labors, and enjoys himself
in quite different sense. If his life were
a succession of holidays, it would soon
grow burdensome.

SUMNER QUARTERS needs AS
much protection during the summer from
the fierce rays of the sun, as they do in
winter from the severe cold, although far
too many of our breeders lose sight of this
very important fact, and suffer correspond
ing losses IN consequence. Birds compel
led to stay in yards which have little, if
any, shade during the entire summer, with
the sun pouring down on them with the
intensity it does in July and August,
cannot thrive, while they are rendered
much more liable to disease and disorders.
1t pays. and pays well too, to give the
fowls comfort at all times, and it costs but
little to furnish the necessary shade, no
matter how large the runs may be. Trees,
such as plums, peach and apple, should at
once be planted in the runs, especially the
former, which seems to thrive better there
than the other kinds named. AS these
trees will not afford much shade for few
years, temporary shades must be made by
making skeleton sheds of poles along the
sunny sides of the runs, and then covering
them with boughs, cedar limbs, or almost
anything cheap and convenient which will
afford the necessary shelter from the sun.
These may not look very handsome, but
then the utility compensates fully for the
lack of beauty.
Some breeders make the top covering
with coarse muslin stretched on frames,
first having treated the muslin to coalings
OF paint to render it more durable and
imnrevious to water. If stored away
carefully when not needed as sun screens
they will last for several seasons, and are
by no means unsightly. especially if neatly
arranged in he yards or runs.
Some breeders, to make the poultry
houses more comfortable in the summer
for their birds, remove the sash and
make a movable frame OF Stats or lath to
take the place of sash, while the solid
door is removed and u slat one substituted
This is very good plan during the hot,
still nights of summer, but when high
winds rs we'll as rain-storms prevail, the
fowls are rendered very uncom Portable all
night. A good plan is to have it arranged
so either can be used at pleasure to suit
the weather. Any one with average inge-
nuity can make the necessary alterations
TO suit.
Thorough ventilation must supplement
extreme cleanliness, else disease and sick
ness will creep in these hot, sultry days,
and claim by fair the largest share of the
profits. Ventilation can be secured with
out having Il draft blowing on the bird,
constantly, endangering their health in.
stead of benefiting them.

SIGNS OF BUSINESS. An observant gen.
tleman says he can always tell when a
young man in business has reached the
point of stability and permanence by glanc-
ing at his stock in trade, his manner of do
ing business, and moro than all, by noticing
if he hvs commenced to advertise When
man recently settled in business, who has
commenced quietly and with no noise or
effort to secure customers and establish
trade. finds that he has friends enough If
he will only summon them to show their
friendship, he proceeds at once to issue his
call in the shape of an advertisement, and
by keeping all the trade he secures, and
adding to 1t from week to week, he makes
his success matter beyond question. Our
observant friend says, on the other hand,
that he has noticed in many cases when a
business man ceases entirely to advertise,
this action, precedes decline and often a
failure in business There Is no question
ing the fact that Advertisements constitute
a good barometer of the trade in any
oommunity.-Tvoy Nne',
