why Money is Like Powder.

Henry Ward Beecher,
The worst use men can make OF wealth
is to hoard it. Riches that are simply
laid up, and that are never used, are
suuandered. Money is like powder-nO
good till 1t goes of. A man who has a
large amount of property and does not
spend it, does not enjoy it. He Is
nothing but a Waterman of his own
properly. Now, I hold that man does
not spend his money selhshly who
makes himself an object OF admiration
and affection in the community. l hold
that a man has Il right to spend his
money on his house. But where a man
has acquired a house he ought
to make his house beautiful
with books and all the embeilIsh-
msnts OF art. lie ought to make it the
most beautiful place on earth to him and
his wife and children. But has a nan

Well, next to that, Of course, a man

The thinnest veil is a vestmelt in the

which radiation causes the naked body
TO experience. In the same way q cloudy

ourselves with multiple envelopes of

Experiments TO determine the degree
Of facility with which different sub

Seneiber, Boeckman, Jamer Stark and

cases consistent with each other, but

Keen the BabIes warm

How to keep babies warm in winter is
always a problem. The best way is not
only TO provide them with knitted or
merino underwear, but also with little
sacks to wear outside their white dress
es. These can easily be made either in
ine-checked flannel or crocheted; they
need not be shaped at all, but simply cut
in PLAIN, straight pieces for back and
front, a space being left for sleeves, and
a narrow hem at the neck, provided
with a fine ribbon string so that it can
be drawn to fit. The sleeves should be
made with a hem at the wrist so that
hey can be tied in the same way, fitting
tightly 10 the little arm. Such little
acks add immensely to the warmth
and therefore TO the comfort Of the lit.
tie one, and il is impossible to Overesti-
MAZE the value of warmth in the health
of small children. Circulation is so fee
ble with them that neat must be induced
by artificial means. Lace caps for out
door wear, even when lined, are scarcely
warm enough. Very pretty hoods car
be made by knitting in white wool ano
trimming with e~wansdOwn.

The Prince aud the Beauty.

The American beauty, Miss Chamber
layne, continues to attract great atten-
ton from the prince Of Wales, but her
native good sense prevents her head be-
Ing turned with ROYAL flattery. and the
young lady Is nearly as friendly withthe
princess as with her husband. The
prince admires Miss Chamberlayne inn
mensely, and indeed appears to have
taken the whole family into lis alice
tons. He declares hat Miss Chamber
layne should have been born a duchess
that her manner and bearing are per-
feet, while her beauty needs no praise
from him. Whenever he Is in the same
place as the fair Americana (Which is
pretty often) he dimes with the family
nearly every day. The prince of Wales
is admittedly one Of the most f%asclnat-
ing men IL Europe. and the Chamber
laynes are evidently much hattered by
his attentions. Miss Chamberlayne, how
ever, is much liked by other members Of
the English royal family besides the
prince and princess of Wales. She has

Warmth and Pure Air for stock.

The loss from unnecessary exposure of
stock in western la itudes amounts to
millions Of dollars in this country every
winter, and the importance of the ques-
ton of shelter for stock needs to be adj
vocated. There is usually much less ex-
posture Of horses than cattle, and the
former are better enabled to bear the
inclenency of weather if accustomed to
it. Cattle are naturally sensitive to cold,
and while with an abundance Of hearty
food before them they are capable of en-
during much severe weather, yet econ
omy requires that due attention be Civ
en- 10 the subject, and suits Ole means
for shelter and comfort provided.
Many farmers allow their stock to be
unnecessarily exposed in winter, from
mere carelessness and ignorance of the
laws pertaining to the health and COM
fert of all animals. They need to be re-
minded that the heat IN all warm
bl0oded animals requires to be kept at
nearly the temperature, and that when
the weather becomes cold or stormy,
as in winter, some provision u ust be
made to keep up the animal heat to
its normal degree. This may usually be
accomplished by feeding the animals

Free Traders.

ST. Louis, s.-The free trade con ference
concluded its lsbors to-day, and there
was long debate between some mann bers
who insisted on absolute fres trade, and
others who favored an attempt to elimin-

latter opinion prevailed. Addresses to
the people OF the country were adopted,
declaring protection was 8 ruinous mea
cure. and that all possible means should
BIS taken to acc omplish its overthrow.
Immediately most Of the gentlemen de-
clsred they were straight out free traders
in theory but thought it wise to strike at
protection, as preliminary step. A
literary bureau was agreed upon to fur
nish free trade matter to the press
generally. especially to country papers.
