What IS imagined to be but momentary

our whole future in our disposal of to-day.

Man is exhausted by a few hours of de-
lay, nature can wait, if need be, a million
years. God is eternal and can wait for
man.-Prof. Suing.
If there were more plain speaking,
there would be fewer evil deeds. Ugly
things lose much of their u%gliness in the
eyes of most of us when described in fine
words. San franciscan.
The father who goes about boasting
that his boy is so much better than other
boys, so prayerful, so quiet, SO like st.
Stanislaus, will probably have a terrible

We must be willing to carry the cause
of the poor upon our hearts, and make it
a part of our life-work, never forgetting
to regard Gods poor as our brothers and
sisters-our W Fathers children

Only ssour W littleness prevents our
seeing the greatness of our great men,
but it is one thing to appreciate the great

to affirm the perfection of any one of
them.-her. Mr.. Wdtktey.
People who pay little or nothing for

bad roads, Boston and Louisville report
a better trade than last week, while Phil

The general prayer of the merchants and

SENATOR BUTLER, of South Carolina,
presents the following conclusions in refer
ence to the effect of prohibitory liquor
laws:
Il have had occasion to investigate
the moral and social condition of some of
those states where prohibition has been
enacted into law, and as the result of that
investigation | state deliberately that con
stitutional and statutory prohibitions are
f~allacies and failures, not only because
they do not prevent drunkenness, but
because they inculcate doctrines and habits
of evasion, hypocrisy and perjury"

As H law now stands there are fifty
six United States Judicial districts. Two
of the district judges receive a salary of
5000 each, namely, Judge Hoffman, of
California, and Judge Hallet, of Colo
RADIO Judge Billings, of Louisiana, gets
1880. Judge Blodgett, of Illinois,
Morris, of Maryland; Nelso, of Massa-
chusetts; Coke, Brown, and Benedict, of
New York, and Butler, of Pennsylvania,
get 1900 each, all the rest So, 500. The
bill which passed the senate Tuesday pro-
poses to make the salaries uniform at
5000 a year. This is none too much.

REFERRING to a measure now pending
in the New York legislature requiring the
packers of canned goods to stamp the
date on their packages showing when they

amend the bill by requiring the manufac-

date on their products. 1t would also be

THE construction of the Denver and
New Orleans railway is now an assured
fact, the contract for the same having been
duly signed. This line will prove to be a
prominent link, or feeder, in the chain of
roads extending across the continent. 1t

figure in the transportation of cattle from
Texas to Wyoming.

SPoRTsMEN who go abroad shooting

that hereafter it will be unlawful to shoot

bought and Goodwin gave them as a
margin $50 shares of other cable stock
owned by him. A few months later he
ordered them to buy some Texas

delivered him, and he deposited 100 ai.

more margins and he gave Belt Line
