Salt.

Nothing that we eat is more valu-
able than salt, nor could anything
except bread be more missed. Ami.
mails, in fact, will travel distances
and brave great dangers TO obtain it.
On the coast of Sierra Loene brothers
will sell their sisters, husbands their
wives, and parents their children, for
salt. In the district of AGRA. or on
the gold coast Of Africa, a handful
of salt is the most valuable thing on
earth, after gold. and will purchase a
slaye or two. Salt with the Bambers
is such luxury that to say ola man,
"he tiayors his food with salt" is to
simply say that he Is rich. No strong
er mark of affection can be shown in
Muscovy than the sending of salt
from the tables of the rich to their
poor friends. Splitting salt was held
to be an unlucky omen by the Ro-
mans, and the superstition has de-
scended to ourselves. Leonardo de
Vinci aYailed himself of this tradi-
ton in his famous picture of the
Lords Supper" to indicate Judas
Iscariot by the salt-sellar knocked
over accidentally by his arm. When
we say of lazy fellow that he does
not earn his salt, we unconsciously
allude to an ancient custom among
the Romans. Among them a man
was said to be in possession of "saI-
ary" who had his "salarium," his al
loWance of salt wherewith to saYor
the food by which he lived. Thus
salary comes from salt-and in this
view of the word how many there
are who do not learn their salt !"

Advice to a Young Man.

you have found what it is, 90 at it
and stick to it. l want to see you at
work.

Nothing" said Mirabeau, sis i'm

This is the only law of success"
"There is but one method" says
Sydney Smith, land that Is hard
work"
1.-The difference between one man
and another" says DIR. Arnold, sis
not so much in talent as in energv.n
And do you direct you energy in
one channel. Don't be diffusfve in
your work. There is power in consen-
tration. A handful of powder scat
tered on the ground makes a great
smoke when it is fred, but nothing
more. Its the few ounces compressed
in the blast or gun barrel that counts
for something when it goes off. If
you are lawyer, a physician, or a
carpenter, and make up your mind
that you will know as much about
one particular line or branch or spec.
ialty of your profession or trade, you
do well. Because, if you know as
much on any point as any other man,
surely as the heavens are above us,
you know as much more about it
than thousands, and UNNECESSARILY
more than millions ofOther men, and
this makes you an authority.
Be ambitious as you will, but be
ambitious in some particular direc-
ton. You can make any sphere of
labor honorable. A good, honest,
earnest man can shovel sand with

plOyer, and honor to his country.

A Good Mail Arrangement.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company will about Sunday, 18th
inst, start train No. from Baltimore
at a. m. instead of 1.30 a. am, as is
now done. The company announces
that this will be done in the interest
of Baltimore and for the purpose of
the early distribution of the morning
newspapers along it's lines, and with
the expectation that the POstOffice
department will use portion of the
extra appropriation made by Con-
gress at its last session to provide for
mail service by this train. The Bal
timOre San says that lone OF the
grounds on which this extra appro-
priation was secured was that it
would enable the Postoffice depart
ment to provide for an early morn
ing mail from Baltimore and Wash
ingtOn along the line as far as Chicago,
Cincinnati and st. Louis. A Balti-
more and Ohio official says the WIN
ter schedule will provide for the a.
m. train, and it will remain with the
PostOtfice department to have it con
tinued or not. Baltimore morning
newspapers will be delivered at Fred.
erick, Hagerstown and other contig-
GUS points at early hours. The train
will reach Cumberland at $50 a. M"
Under this arrangement the city
morning papers will be distributed
in Oakland at about 1915 IA. m. in
stead of 8 p. M as now, or y hours
earlier. The Sun has agitated this
matter with much force from time to
time during the year, and has thus
merited the gratitude of the public.
