UNLUCKY CHILDREN IN MAZDA

It is not generally known that the

nearest wood, laid 10 a shallow hole,
and left to its fate, Friday being held

By a very different process of rea>

they are allowed to grow up, become

whose birth has caused the death of
its mother is destroyed, because, &C.

to place it next day upon path by

BE SAVING,

With an economical wife at the
head of house much can be accom-
plished. The idea of saving is a
pleasant one; and if wives imbibed
it once, they would cultivate it and
adhere to it, and thus when they are
not aware of it, they would be lay
log the foundation of a competent
security in stormy time, and shell
ter in a rainy day. The wife who
sees to her own house has a large
field to save in. The best way for
her to comprehend it is to keep an
account of all current expenses.
Probably not one woman in ten has
an idea how much are the expendi~
ture OF herself and family. Let the
house wife take the idea, act upon
it, and she will save something
where before she thought it impOsr
sible. This is a duty. yet not a
sordid svsrice, but moral obliga~
ton that rests upon the women as
we'll as the men.

WHAT PROHIBITION HAS DONE

[Reo. ". r. Glenn in Christian Adoocate.
Polk county elbows this correla>
ton 10 another line. She has thrown
off the whisky curse and lie demon
strating the efficiency and advan~
tages of temperance laws. Her jail,
hitherto crowded all the time, has
not averaged one occupant per day
this year; the lock on the calaboose
is getting 50 rusty from disuSe that
they can hardly get the key into it ;
the true bills found during one term
of court last year were one hundred
and eighty-tbree, this year twenty
eight; the Legislature now in session
has been, or will be, requested to do
away with all but one grand jury for
each term of court no use for more I;
and the taxes have already been re-
duced from six dollars TO five dollars
90 the thousand. Then the still bet
ter results of sunshine 10 many
homes and hearts that have had the
pail of death and ruin lifted from
them; the lives that have been saw
ed and given to families and to God,
the general cheerfulness, happiness
and usefulness of the people, attest
the efficacy of the move. Were
every man ia the State to tell me
that prohibition would retard pros
perity or 10 any way iujure coun'
ty or State, could not believe it.
Two and two make four; no amount
of testimony could make me believe
otherwise. The laws of economy,
mental moral, material, social and
political are all no less fixed and iD>
flexible. The whisky traffic vio>
Iates all of these and cOnser yes none.
How could ever be brought to be-
Iieve that it was an advantage !
Polk county has demonstrated that
it was a curse of the deepest dye /;
and is now demonstrating that pro-
hibition is bright blessing.
Paulding county can show as long
and dark a catalogue of suffering
and crime resulting from whisky as
any county in the land. But she,
by a poll of six to one, has voted it
out and is already beginning to
breathe, deep down in her lungs, the
breath of life.

A MAN OF NERVE.

1t is q Boston paper that tells this
story of gentleman who placed bis
wife and children upon az outgoing
steamer and remained upon the

FREE PASSES.

The indications are that the Leg
islature will remain in session until
the middle or latter part of Septem-
Der. Comparatively little business
have been done thus far, and the
signs that better progress will be
made in the future are not encourag
ing. The pass system seems to have
a demorslizing effect. With passes

mer resorts of the State. On Fris
days so many members leave the
city, to be gone until Monday, and
sometimes until later day of the
week, that often there is not a quo>
rum in either House for two or three
days. OF course little can be done
without quorum, because unless
there is quorum no business OF im~
portance can be transacted except
by unanimous consent There are
very few measures to which no one
has objections. If it we're not for
the passes on the railways members
could not afford to spend so much OF
their time each week at home or in
making pleasure trips. Perhaps
they forget that 10 being so often
absent from their post of duty they
are increasing the burdens of the
tax payers and are not making a
fair return for the money they draw
out of the Treasury. Occasional
absences are excusable, but the PEG.
pie have right to complain when
the Legislature is practically ad,
journed two or three days every
week. We do not blame the rail-
ways for furnishing the passes, be-
cause they fear, whether with reason
or not we do not pretend to say, that
if these favors are not bestowed
their interest will suffer. The square,
dignifed thing for the Legislature to
do is to enact law prohibiting rail-
way companies from giving passes
to members and members from re-
ceiving them. The pass system, to
say the least of it. is a kind of bril-
berry. A member with pass in his
pocket cannot act with the same
freedom in matters pertaining to the
corporation whose favors he enjoys,
as If he paid his fare. Let the pass
system be abolished. 1t is open to
too many objections to be continued.

COMING BACK HOME

1t is mighty sad to see girl come
back to her fathers house to live af-
ter she has been married year or
two. Poor thing, she never knew
what good home she had until she
left it, and by and>by she comes
creeping back pale and sad, and the
man she trusted goes another way.
That is the wreck of a life No
more happiness for her. No wonder
that parents feel anxious about their
daughters, and the daughters ought to
think and ponder long time before
they marry. A fathers house and
a mothers love are mighty hard to
beat. But then a happy marriage
is the highest state of happiness, and
every girl ought to look forward to
it. There are lots of clever young
men of good principles and who
have been raised by good parents.
The girls ought to mate with 'em,
money or no money. money Is
good thing, but principle is better ;
and if young Teller he's got both,
and don't drink nor gamble, and is

all right, and if l was girl l would
