ADVICE TO Young MEN.-"I have had
a great deal of advice" says Burdette of the
Huckeye, "given me by older people than
myself In many instances I know would
have been much wiser had followed that
advice. When boy, was told to keep
away from the canvas of the circus tent, but
I didn't. l am wiser now. Although q
circus mans arm is not as swift as light
ming, vet it is much more likely to strike
twice in the same place. Young men, you
must be somebody to begin with. don't
mean by this that you must be born of some
big family, for ancestry don't count tor
much in this country. Ifyou have got the
idea into your head that it does, you ought
to be stuffed and set up in front of a cigar
store. When the world wants you, it will
find you. 1t wont ask who your grand
father was, for it don't care. People soon
forget the the names of the ancestors of dis
tinguished people in this country. don't
believe there is man who can tell me the
name of Brigham Young's mother-in-law."
s'Make up your mind to do great deal
of hard work. It won't kill you. It's the
intervals between work that kill people.
It's after one of these Intervals that you
wake up and find your hat four sizes too
small and your coat several sizes too big.
It's the recreation that kills. On, but it's
only once in while, you say-a very small
matter. Well, although a humble bee is
not as large as dray horse, you mustn't
handle him carelessly. Then try to get
acquainted with yourself. A good many
men die without having scraped an ac-
quaintance with themselves. If you are
going to be honest from policy don't be hon
est at ALL The kind of honesty that can
be bought and sold isn't worth much. Don't
believe that cheek is better than modesty or
merit because it isn't. If you never do any
thing else in the world, marry. Don't be
afraid your wife won't look after you. You
will find that she will be able to do that to
perfectiOn.'

day and night on a wooden nest egg or an

Several men were discussing this question
in grocery store one evening recently. A
man who owns large flock of Dorkings re-

break up a settin' hen"

the merits Of another, even Jesus Christ, the
son of God and saviour of sinners. To-day
the human family is preserved in existence
to show forth the glory of God, by believing
in his son Jesus Christ The triuinphs Of
the cross overshadowsthe triumphs Of crea-
ton. From the fall of Adam to the cruel
fixion every event pointed to the coming
Messiah, and since the crucifXion every
event points to Calvary. The old way to
God and heaven leads directly through ST.

of thunderings and lightnings. The new
way is through Calvary, from which God
reveals him as a God of forgiveness that he
may be feared.

HE GoT THAR.-Going down the great
Jackson route from Grenada, Mississippi, a
regular old homespun native of the Nate
entered the sleeping car and paid for berth.
He had never been inside a car of the kind,
and everything astonished him. When
the porter come to make up the beds saw
that the native was greatly perpleXed, but
as he made no direct appeal it wasn't ny
duty to post him. He was the first one to
make preparations for bed. He glanced
anxiously around, pulled off one boot, and
then took a rest for five minutes. When
the other boot came off he had solved the
problem. Pushing his boots under the
berth he started for the rear platform, and
nothing was heard from him for about ten
minutes. Then he put his head into the
door and called out
"All you 'uns in thar, look out, for Pm
comingw
And come he did, He had disrobed while
standing on the platform, made bundle OF
coat, vest and pants, and as he shot into bed
after run up the aisle he gurgled out:

she allus gifts thar just the same"

NuDELs FOR SoUP.-This preparation OF
eggs and flour, which resembles vermicelli,
is called by the descendants of the old Dutch
settlers thread nudels, probably because.
when properly made, it is in very fine OF
thread-like pieces. Mix together two raw
eggs and sufficient -four to make a paste
stiff enough to knead put the paste on a
fioured board, and knead it steady until ii
is full Of air; this condition may be ascer"
tained by cutting off a bit of the paste with
a sharp knife; if the crust sides seem full oil
little holes the paste is ready to roll out ;
during the kneading sufficient flour must
be used to prevent the flour sticking to
the hands. When the paste is sufficiently
kneaded divide it in four parts, and roll
each pRrt so thin thatlarge printed letters
can be seen through it; as the paste is being
rolled very little flour must be used to
keep it from sticking to the board in order
to avoid using too much flour turn the paste
frequently while it is being rolled. When
the paste is thin enough rub little -four or
both sides of it with the hands, and let ii
stand about an hour to partly dry; when the
paste is partly dry rub it again with flour,
roll it as tight as possible, and, holding the
roll firmly with the left hand, cut the thin"
nest possible slices fDm the end; spread the
threads thus made little apart upon q
floured board and let them dry for another
hour. Then boil them in soup until tender,
and serve them in it. Nudels are best
when freshly made, but they can be kept in
dry place for several weeks.

The faru1 and firesiae
AID OF MACHINERY TO LABOR.

Labor is a natural burden to humanity {:
vet it is the key which unlocks the store
house of wealth, convenience and luxury.
By the use of invented and applied machin-
cry muscular work is greatly relieved, and
results cheaply and extensively obtained.
In all this, however, intelligent skill is not
supplanted; but rather there is wider field
created for the same and more and more
does it come in demand as the facilities
for production multiply. Man, of course,
may exist as our forefathers did, living in a
rude and limited way on the necessaries OF
life, and even these secured only at the eX-
pense of oppressive toll; but as improve
ments are made, and varied and enlarged
benefits flow therefrom, he rises in the scale
of being and the sphere of life is extended.
The easy supply of want in any direction
only begets effects in others; and as matters
thus progress, instead of the demand for
useful industry being diminished, there is
more and more inducement to laborers to
employ themselves with the exercise of
every faculty.
1t is mistaken view, therefore, to imag-
inc that there is the least tendency in the
use of machinery to supercede the necessity
of wOrkmen, and take from them all Oppor-
tunity to labor. Their skillful hands, dis
cerning, and intelligent brains, are surely
destined to find an ever widening field.
Of course the worker must not remain sta
tionary, content to live and die the anti
quated fossil, while all the world about him
is changing and progressing. What he once
did painfully and slowly with the hands
alone he must now more abundantly accom-
plish through the agency of labor-saving
devices and tools. Society has need of more
production and will only be satisfied with
even more and more. With it's prosperity
and progress the laborer shares; and to-day
he has more of the comforts and luxuries OF
life than were enjoyed by kings hundred
years ago. The prejudice against improve,
ment and the jealously against capital and
associations in their efforts to manage and
direct production into more efficient and
beneficial channels should disappear. AS
changes occur old ruts should be abandon
ed. BY adapting himself to circumstances
as they are thrust upon him, there is not
a man who cannot succeed and find mar
ket for his labor far beyond his ability to
supply.-De6oque Trade Journal.
