last two are in their town place." ant
their names fifty point the .'strikins
notices" that adorn the walls of a.
Freethinkers' Convention. Such a
convention, indeed, without Paine
prominent, would be an anomaly, al
though the disciple Ingersoll goes far
beyond his teacher in invective against
the Christian faith, and in ribald, bias
phemous treatment of sacred things.
The motto from Paine reads thus! .This
world is my country-to do good is my
religion" Measuring his religion by
the moral good he accomplished, it was
a low minus quantity-while the evil, in
the realm of morals and religious belief,
which his infidel writings have wrought,
marks him az a master architect of
mischief and ruin. Had he taken the
advice of Franklin and burnt the MS.
OF his book instead Of giving it to the
world, his name would have been
spared the odium with which it must
be regarded through the ages. What
that advice was will appear by an ex-
tract from the letter containing it as
published in Bigelow's "Life of Frank
lin," vol. 8, p. 1854. The whole letter
of the sage and philosopher is one that
a Freethinkers' Convention might do
well to reproduce in connection with
the striking motto from their favor

BURDETTE's ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.
You will perceive, my boy, that every
time man undertakes to manufacture q
little Bible on his own account, he
makes a notifying failure of it. He is
caught at it, and in one-tenth the time
it took him to conceive his fraud, in as
many hours as it took him months to
prepare it, he is exposed, and his hand
made edition to the Bible is swept
away in the other rubbish of other coun-
terfeiters. You see, my son, the Bible
doesn't need any of these nineteenth
century proofs of its truth; it needs the
word of no man to establish its genu-
ineness; it has stood by itself, San anvil
that has worn out many hammers"
through century after century, I'M
changed and unchangea able. Every
time a man manufactures a new verse
or a new chapter, we know it is not
genuine; we detect the counterfeit.
The Bible has no need of the support
ing prop of a fraudulent ark or leather
Deuteronomy. There was a complete
Bible centuries before Shapiro hap
pened, and there will be the same Bible
ages after Shapiro and his patent Deu-
teronomy have together crumbled into
indistinguishable dust. The Bible does
not need our help, u testimony, our
Endorsement. And if there had never
been discovered, in all the world, a
bit of parchment, a piece of broken
pottery or scratched stone, the Bible
would be just as strong a it is to-day,
and men would believe just as firmly
and t%rustfully in its truth. Don't you
| WORRY. nv bow. because Shanira's an
Gent manuscript was written with Lon
don ink, and don't fret because the ark
in the glacier turns out to be put to-
gether with Pittsburgh nails. That all
the frauds on the Bible and its history
are so quickly and easily detected
should only convince you how impossi-
BILE is it for man to counterfeit the work
of God. Wait until some man fools US
with an artificial moon; and until some
philosopher stores away the sunlight in
parlor lamps, before you believe that
man can successfully initiate what man
never made.-BMrlington Hawkeye.

Some Mitigating Circumstances.

"See here, Sloshinger, l want to talk
to you a moment" said IN Austin phi,
.lanthropist, "don't you know you are
not doing your duty by your children
in not sending them to school. That'p
not the way a fond father should treat
his children"
''Well now, I don't know about
that" replied Sloshinger. II don't be-
lieve you fully realize what you are
talking about. Now l have a brother
whose Oldest son was sent up for two
years for horse stealing, and the Judge,
in sentencing him, said that his ignorance
and lack of early education were strong
mitigating circumstances in his case;
and instead of making the sentence ten
years, which he would have done had
the boy ever received any education, he
would make it only two. Now, do you
suppose | am going to rob my boys Of
those mitigating circumstances that
have already been such a bonanza in the
familyp No, sir; before 1 do that, l
hope my right arm will cling to the root
of my mouth. "-Ieras Saftings.

John Splan Tells What is . First.
Class Driver.

John Splan, who began his career on
the turf seventeen years ago, when he
was seventeen years old, and has
handled many of the best horses in the
country, including the famous Rarus, is
as ready and slick a talker as he is
driver: eyes, sir, a good driver is as
essential as a good horse. don't know
as a good man could do much with a
stick of a horse, but I've seen many a
horse defeated that would have won If
its driver had known his business. just
what makes q good driver you can't
tell.
"You see, a driver has got to do more
than sit behind a horse. He must look
out for the shoeing, must get the horses
head just right, must study his horse,
know how he ought to be fed, harnessed
and all that. There are q hundred
things besides the mere driving that he
must have his eye on and be studying.
Horses are just as different as people.
Some are nervous, fretting and stewing
all the time, and others are SO cool that
a cyclone wouldn't make them jump.
Now, you see if a man that was used to
driving one of the nervous kind took
hold Of a lazy horse he'd like as not
break him all up.
There's one thing a driver must
have, and that's a cool head. He must
not be all down when he doesn't win, or
way up when he does, but just take it as
it comes and go it. I've seen men on
the track with money up on their horses
who were as worked up about it as an
old lady that had got to have her tooth
pulled out. That won't do. I don't
take any stock in .cordials to give q
man the necessary courage. A good
nights sleep is the best thing that any
man a take before a race. OF course
we bet on the races. That's what we
are interested in; it's part of u bust
/ ness. 1 don't think horsemen gamble
much outside. They put in their money
on a horse just as a man buys a barrel
of flour and expects to get more than
he gave for it. The public think there's
a good deal more crooked work than
there really is. l don't know a driver,
and I've slept with most Of 'em, who
would pull his employers horse to win
money himself. 1t wouldn't pay. Driv-
ing is a profession now, and a man who
has paid $5, 1000 or $4,000 for a piece
of property hunts till he finds a good
man to take care of it, and then pays
him handsomely. Most owners have
all the money they want and are anxious
only that their horses win.-SpringfeM

Petroleum, therefore, has two his

years ago! And it begins at Titusville,
on Oil Creek, a brancho of the Allegheny
River, in Crawford County, Pennsylva-

and space are we able to concentrate our
attention, and yet we are looking at that
which has become one of the mighty
factors in modern civilization.

ideas to focus, and this time we will

mainland opposite in Hungary, Gallicia,
and Moldavia; then again, away off on
the 1rawaddy, but most of all-on the
Eastern Continent-the shores of the
Caspian, especially near Baku; all Of
these produce petroleum, and the springs
OF Baku yield more than all the others
combined. But we may fairly set all Of
them-the entire Eastern Continent
aside as being of no great moment. It
is no mere figure of speech. it is not
rank boasting, to say that petroleum, so
far as the markets of the world are con-
cerned, is an American product. Our
regular daily and monthly yield so far
surpasses all others that they cannot be
counted as rivals in the trade and it's re-
suits.
The springs of Baku yield about $780,
600 barrels annually; we turn out that
amount in the space of q very few
weeks at any time. The records of 1879,
not to speak of anything later, give the
exports only from the three ports of
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York
at 8,500,0O0 barrels. Surely we may
call petroleum, in all its bearings, an
American product.
And does itacome from all parts of
America? Perhaps few persons are
aware how very much restricted really
is the region which yields such incredi-
BILE results. The fact is that the '.oil
CENTER" that from which petroleum has
been produced in paying quantities, can

square miles. 1t is wonderful.-Scten-

A Match for Him.

Occasionally, yes, very often, a
woman is more than a match for a man.
A farmer was in a hurry to get his work
along, and went out into the field with
his boys and hired man, entirely over
looking the fact that the last stick OF
wood in the woodpile had been burned
to get the breakfast. Raging hungry the
force came in at noon. The good wife
had the table set with all the taste OF
which she was mistress, and it really
looked inviting, but there was no din
ner upon it. "Sarah, where's the din
nerP" inquired the farmer, somewhat
anxiously. II don't know whether it is
done or not. There was no wood for q
fire, SO I hung it in the warmest place
could find. IT'S on the ladder at the
south side of the house" The whole
force was detailed at chopping wood
that afternoon.-Prdirte Farmer.

Humming.Birds

Mrs. c. M. Russell, of the Huntington
Memorial Home for Old Ladies', on
Washington street. has two pairs Of
young hummming-birds in captivity, SO
tame That a stranger can handle their
cages without disturbing them in the
least. While the cage is being handled
they fly about with a buzzing noise, al
ternately alighting in the ring of the
cage or upon the roost, uttering a faint
''tweet" while on the wing. Although
never seen to alight and feed in free
dom, they often perch upon the edge of
small cup in the cage and sip strip of
sugar and water prepared by Mrs. Rus
sell, who also keeps q bouquet of bright
flowers in the cage.

BIRDS, not much larger than grasshop-
Pers, make no attempt now to escape,
but will perch upon the head of Mrs.
Russell and take strip from the cup
while she holds it. The bill, wings and
tail are black, the back from the neck to
the tail a rich metallic green, and the
throat white with reddish spots Just be-
meath the bill. Beneath, the birds are
white, the color deepening to a reddish
tint toward the wings. There is awhile
spot back of each eye, and the tail is
banded with white at the tip. They
enjoy bright sunshine, and show eyery
sign Of contentment as they sit upon
the perch pluming their wing.

upon its head. She put it in a cage,
