encouragement is something that we
naturally look for.
A little praise. OF word of hope. or u
cheerful smile-something for the hun
CRY soul TO grasp and the weary mind
to rest upon, Is we climb the toilsome
mountain of life.
How many poor hearts have sunk
into despondency. when little en-
couragement would have reassured
them! How many have taken their
lives in the hour Of despair. when q
friendly hand stretched out with aid
might have saved them!
The child looks to the mother for
help and encouragement, when it is
taking its first step in walking. Tie
school-boy looks for encouragement
from his teacher. when he is taking his
first step in education.
And so on through life. The soldier
looks for it on the field of battle; it is
the cheering voice of his leader that
urges him on through the dangers of
death and crowns the day with vic
tory.
The poet and the artist look to the
world TO acknowledge their genius and
give them praise. 1t is encouragement
which calls forth their noblest words
and helps them 10 climb the mount of
fame until they 'surmount all difficult
ties and write their names in flaming
letters upon its summit.
Then let us give encouragement to
each other in every effort of good. in
every noble action; in the little duties
of life-and we will be happier for it;
the world will be better; and smiling
Providence will look down and bless
our labor of love.-Adelaide E. TrO0n,

North America there are but three spe-

or moccasin. and the coral. There are
about thirty varieties of these species
altogether. The copperhesd is prob
ably the most dangerous, rs it is vic

A pit about twenty feet deep was dug

and lay, PARTIALLY stunned and wholly
helpless at the bottom of the pit. She
was allowed to lie there for week.
the mouth of the pit WAS again closed
and for seven days she lived in dark

treatment very often kills tiger but it
is the only known method of reducing
them from the state of savage frenzy

work will then be begun in the campaign. The
Republican executive committee has already To-

for many years, and am satisfied that the work OF
this year will be as thorough as ever before, per

in getting all that is necessary

fore hand organizing campaign clubs and send

first attention will be turned to Maine where the
election comes off in August. The list of speak

expected that Mr.. Blaine's own state will give a
rousing Republican majority at this pre-
limnary election, which shall fire
the heart OF the masses, so to
speak. A large amount of money is needed
speakers must be paid and the necessary expen-
ditures for meetings, hiring of halls, printing

II Snits TIE Thrift Reformers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-The Inquirer this
morning publishes the following interview with
Frank Uuri. Of Ohio:
81 would like 20 know something about the
action Of the committee on resolutions by which
they arrived at their result the tariff plank OF
the platform, aud how you like it, said the IN
gairsr reporter.
THE platform adopted by the convention,
replied Mr. Hurd, ais satisfactory 70 the
revenue reformers, or free traders, as they are
called"
"Whys"
In the first place all idea Of protection of any
Kind is clearly excluded from it. The provisions
which relate TO raw material, to the establish
ment and intimate commercial relations with the
other American republics, and to the loss of the
American marine trade on the high seas, under
the present tariff policy, all point TO re
reduction OF the tariff rates and 4
,losc approximation 10 free trade.
The further declaration tha. all Federal
taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes
declares the principle on which all tariff reform
ers are agreed, viz: That no money shall be col
lected BY the government for the purpose Of
helping any business OF individuals. The plat
form declares that hereafter taxation shall only
be for the uses Of the government The system
that has hitherto prevailed has levied taxes for
the benefit Of individuals. In the change from
the old policy 10 the new the platform declares
that all changes shall be made gradually in order
that no interests which have been established
shall be injured and that they should have
