OK one thing the Democrats and the New
England and New York Republican boilers
are in perfect accord. They are agreed i'll
resisting any policy that will give this
country standing abroad, and hence they
are persistent in ringing the charges upon
the danger Of elecdng Mr.. Blaine, for he
will surely embroil us in war with foreign
powers. All which is twaddle. There is
nothing in Mr.. Blaine'S career to indicate
that nc looks upon war as necessity in
inaugurating for the United States a dis
tinctiye foreign policy. The great end to
he accomplished is to restore our merchant
marine, augment our control of commerce
and command respect for the flag abroad
by 4 firm, dignitied and just demand far
justice at the hands of all nations. SO for
from all this meaning war" it really is
conservative Of peace, since no country is
so well grounded in peace as the country
that is most ready to resent insult and en-
force its rights before men. There need be
no turbulence in such a policy, and there
viii he none if Blaine is put at the helm.

HAPPINESS A HABIT.
A Privilege and a Duty Which Shout
Never Be Neglected.

A Privilege and Duty Which Should
Never Be Neglected.
Every permanent state of mind is
largely the effect of habit. Just as
we can perform an action SO continu-
ally that it comes to be habitual, so we
can encourage conditions of mind till
they, too, come to be habits of thinking
and even of feeling. Every thoughtful
parent or teacher recognizes this in
the training of youth. The child con-
stantly thwarted or scolded or ridiculed
has constantly aroused within him feel
ings of resentment or encouragement
or misery, and these grow to be habit
ual, and character for ill-temper or
moroseness or dependency is formed.
On the other hand, the child who is
wisely treated. whose faculties are
brought into action, who is encouraged
to do well, who is surrounded with
cheerful faces and orderly arrange
ments, becomes accustomed to CORE
spending habits of thought and feeling.
The exercise of self-control, of truth
fulness, of honesty, and other essential
qualities, not only result in habitual
actions of the same nature, but in hab-
itual feelings or states of mind that in
duce those actions. So the condition
which we call happiness is likewise 40
quired to a considerable degree. 1t in
wolves within it many things, but they
are not impossible to secure, and when
we have discovered them it rests with
us to encourage or to discourage them.
Happiness is not only privilege, but
duty, not mere outward good that
may perhaps come to US, but an inward
possession which we are bound to at
tain. When we remember the con-
tagious character of happiness, the
strength, courage, and hope it excites
by its very presence and the power for
good it exerts in every direction, We
can not doubt our obligation to attain
as much of it as Observation-Disclosures

Farmers who overwork their boys
are apt to create in them distaste for
farm life which will drive them into
some other choice. Probably in five
cases out of six they would be happier
and more successful as farmers than
anything else, especially if they become
educated and progressive farmers,
working with brains as well as hands.
But if all their boyhood is passed in the
hardest drudgery, they will come to
dislike farm life, and long for anything
which offers a change. ''All work and
no play" should be avoided in boy-dis-
cipline as well as its injurious opposite.

DIFFERENCES IN EGGS.

Boston's Preference for Brahmas-A Rising
Race of Egg Producers.
"a dozen eggs. Pick out the yellow
ones.''
The groceryman selected twelve eggs
with yellow shells and placed them in
the lady's basket. The lady carried
her head quite high and wore eye
glasses.
eff I'd been selling them eggs in the
town that young woman came from, -
said the groceryman as his~customer
passed out, I'D a got seven cents more
a dozen for 'em.
..Where did she come from, was
asked.
Boston," replied the groceryman.
ssBoston likes the Brahma eggs, and
will pay from five to seven cents a
dozen more for 'em than she will for
white-shelled eggs. On t'other hand,
New Workers ike the white eggs the
best, and if they can get 'em are will
ing to paw more for 'em than for the
yellow ones As far as that goes,
don't see why the yellow egg shouldn't t
be worth the most, for five Brahma
eggs are equal to seven of any of the
white eggs. But, then, it is stronger
and coarser than the others, and
that's why can't see the
reason it suits the delicate Boston
taste the best Maybe it's because
the Brahma egg don't spread all
over when it's turned out of the
shell soft-boiled, or dropped into the
pan to fry, like all the white-shelled
eggs do. The Boston egg-eater says
there is a richness of flavor about the
yellow egg that the others don't pos
sess, but l agree with the New
Yorker, and say that the white ones
are more delicate and palatable. The
Brahma egg is the largest of all
eggs put on the market, and the
Langshan and Houdans come next.
The favorite white-shelled eggs are
Leghorns. Plymouth Rocks, Hamburgs,

ems make the best broilers, but a
breed called the Wyandotte is crowd
ing 'em pretty close. A Brahma
voungster will be ready for the grid

shell, while it takes the Plymouth
Rock chick from four to six weeks
longer. A Leghorn is hardly big
enough to broil at sixteen weeks

One Of the Sights in Genoa Which Is Of
Great Interest to Americans.
The last palace we shall visit during
our stop in Genoa is the Doria Palace,
the most interesting in the city; and on
our way there from our hotel we meet
a gentlemen We know. Every one of
us is acquainted with him, and we all
feel under great obligations to him. He
is very tall and pale, but his figure j.
grand and imposing. and he stands up
high, where every body can see him. 1t
is Christopher Columbus-and where
should we Americans have been with
out him! 1t gives us a strange sensa-
ton, in this Italian city, with its queer
streets and tall palaces and it's unfa-
miliar sights of every kind, to come
upon this statue of good old Columbus,
whom we have all known SO well from
our earliest childhood. and whom we
have been accustomed to look upon
somewhat in the light of the grand
father of our country. The Genoese
think great deal of Columbus, who
was born in this neighborhood, you
may remember, although they did not
do much for him when he was alive.
But there are always people who are
willing to honor successful man after
some one else has given him chance
to show what he can do. At the foot
of the statue is a kneeling figure repre-
senting our country thanking Column
bus for having discovered her; and the
whole stands in beautiful open square.
There are other mememtoes of Column
bus in the city, and in the Municipal
Palace two of his letters are preserved.

Washable is not much of place for
high buildings, church steeples, or any
thing that sticks up in the air; but when
it comes to going the other way, it can
.sshow up an unusually big and deep
hole in the ground in the shape of a
well. The Union Pacific Railway Com
pany's well for supplying locomotives
with water is l, 250 feet deep and about
ten feet across. Near the middle a
steam pump is located, with pipe
running out TO the pump-house. At
every twenty feet is floor or platform
just big enough to place a ladder on
and have room to turn around. The
ladders are very common and unhandy.
and after you have got down two or
three ladders it gets dark enough to
bring on chill, making it necessary to
feel your way the balance of the dis
lance, and do it in pretty good shape at
that.

gets the matter with the pump, and the

FORGOT HIMSELF.

How q Pious Divine Was Reminded OF
His Boyhood Days.
A professor at Cambridge, who is
considered the first mathematician in
England, albeit pious divine and a
man of staid character and devout hab-
its, happened to be taking his constitu-
tional on the banks of the river at the
time of recent boat race. The river
is narrow. A dexterous movement of
the tiller when the boats are side by side
will often decide the raceby driving one
of the competitors too near the bank.
Well, the learned and pious
churchman, having sauntered to
the riverside just as the boats were
passing, watched them for moment
with calm face. Some old memories
of bygone contests rushed into his mind
the struggle fired his blood; he was
seen to clench his fists and to walk with
frner tread. He followed the boats
for few PAGES. AS they came to
turn in the river he actually ran, IN full
collegiate costume as he was. His cap
blew off-he never noticed it. He began
to wave his arms. A crowd around
him, unconscious of his presence,
shouted: ..Go it, Trinity!' ..Yoicks,
Caius!'' The boats We're approaching
very narrow part of the river, the
Caius men half a length ahead.
The spectators were. shouting in fren-
w of excitement, when above the tu-
multi arose the sonorous and stentorian
voice of the venerable professor: Port.
Caius, you scoundrel! Confound it,
port your helm, man. and as the
shrewd order was instantly obeyed, in
a still more energetic voice: ''Optime.
Johannes!' then, suddenly recollecting
himself, said: Goodness gracious, gem
tlemen, have forgotten myself!'' and

pace, blushing like a girl, amidst the
