out our own salvation with fear and
trembling, and it is very plain and ex-
plicit on the point that it is each man
by and to himself that either stands or
falls. Yet this singular book harmon
lies from beginning to end with itself.
Ii with fear and trembling we work ont
our own salvation. we will find that the
very work required involves help ON
our part towards others. If to ourselves
we stand or fall, very largely into that
consideration comes our attitude
towards our feilow-men; we shall never
stand while consciously allowing them
to fall unaided or unadvised.
The natural inclination of the human
heart is towards seliishness and self
love, and TO the latter failing is due
many OF our pitiful failures in making
life-work a success. The golden rule
is the grand rule for making our own
lives and the lives of those about us
peaceful and happy. In striving to do
by others as we would really wish to be
done by, self-seeking and selfish look.
ing out for number one would be for
gotten. There are those whose blessed
example teaches us that 1--we could
make our lives sublime;" earth is not
wanting in sons and daughters whose
thoroughly unselfsh characters teach
us what a noble thing it is to ''sees
not our own" advantage, but to rate
the interests of others higher than our
own. But the millennium is vet far
off. and not until that wondrous time.
when the lion shall lie down with the
lamb, without any inclination to devour
it. do we dare expect to find it the gen
eral rule among men to look out chiefly
for other than number one.- Golden

The Chicago Standard says the fol-
lowing, taken from an exchange, shows
the relation between cause and effect:
Oakland, California, is certainly a
most remarkable city a city of
churches, schools and homes; city Of
energy, enterprise ard industry. It's
population is about forty thousand. tho
result of natural, substantial and per
manent growth. Forty churches sup.
ply the religious needs of the inhabit
ants. Of these six are Presbyterian.
four Congregational, six Methodist,
three Baptist, five Episcopal, four Cath
Ole, one Lutheran, and the others be-
long TO various organizations. The con-
gregations are large, and it is estimated
that the church-going population of
Oakland is thirty thousand people.
Three fourths of the strongest business
men are regular attendants at church,
proof that the church is not losing its
hold on the influential classes of Oak
land. There is church building for
every one hundred and sixty homes,
and a clergyman for every two hundred
voters in the city. The record shows
that Oakland is the most moral city on
the Pacific coast. The church has had
a great influence on the culture, morals
and society of the city, and the people
can well afford to support literally
everything connected with the churches.

Look Out for Number One.

80 says the language of the world.
so says the man or woman who iostles
and elbows his or her way into the still
moving car, in order to comfortably seat
number one, no matter at whose ex-
pense. So says the trader, greedy of
gain. even though the interests of 9TH
ers must be sacrificed to shameful ex-
tent to further his own plans. So, to a
degree, says the great majority of man
kind to itself on most any and all occa-
sions. IF / didn't look out for myself,
there's no one else who would, that
certain" SO say with truth hundreds
and thousands of men and women.
Then what else is there to be done, ex-
cept to look out shrewdly for number
one?
Well, there are times when it would
be helpful. proper thing to think of
number one, and also of number two,
three aud four. We do well to look out
for our own interests. II is the most
natural thing in the world to take care
Of ourselves, and self-reliance is q
needed virtue. But there is little dam
ger of our failing to exercise proper self
care and forethought There is a very
old-fashioned book, still much read and

What the Standard Oil Company Is.

The Standard Oil Company, which is
so much talked about and so little un-
derstood, has its headquarters in this
city, and its executive board is said to
hold meeting on every business day in
the year. The capital of the company is
not very large, perhaps three or four
million dollars, but the capital of the
Trust Company. which manages the
fiscal affairs of the Standard, is snid to
be as high as seventy millions What
ever he the capital, it pays six per cent.
and the stocks sell in the neighborhood
of par. The men considered in the oil
regions to be the master spirits of this
company are both very young, Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Archibald; the lat
ter is hardly thirty years of age. He is
the son of Methodist preacher i'm the
oil regions. and developed genius for
commerce and executive work when a
mere lad in country bank, AMI his en-
plover gave him the capital to start an
oil refinery. He attends to the details
of this huge company, which has hardly
a parallel on the globe for breadth of
conception and intinitude of particulars.
If this were an English company it
would rank always with the East India
Company of the time of Warren Hast
ings. 1t is to be observed that the chief
operators against it are themselves
spectators. Mr.. James Keene was
one of the leading spirits in the rival
pipeline, The Standard pipe is sep
arate corporation known as the Nation
al Transit Company, and its pipes lie
buried side by side, and are six
inches in diameter, and it is said that
the right of way was acquired for about
$500 mile. Their telegraph is an enor-
nous concern also The flow of oil is
about G0.000 barrels day, l under
stand, and this company keeps in its
tanks or pipes or refineries from 80. co.,
600 to $4,000, coo barrels ut time.
Its profits are derived from storing and
forwarding the oil, which pays fifteen
cents barrel per annum for storage
and twenty cents barrel for transpor-
tation to the seaboard. They are also
the greatest exporters in the United
States, and often send out ship full of
lamps to teach some heather people
how to burn American oil 1t is said
that they are content with profit

Cod Liver OIL.

oil is to put the livers in cask on the
seashore, when taken from the cod, and
let them rot, throwing off IN offensive

fishing. BY many it is now believed
that it really has no special medicinal
value, and that it is never superior to

Testing the VITALITY Of Seeds.


When it is such an easy matter to
test the seeds one proposes to plant, it
is generally best to take the time to do
it. This work may be done any time
now. and then the planter will be in
readiness with the advent of spring. 1t
is always best 10 procure seeds which
arc to be purchased, or in any way
gotten from others, early in the season.
Upon their arrival let the first leisure
time be employed in determining their
vitality.
On this subject Prof G.. f. Morrow,
of the Illinois Industrial University,
writes the Prairie Fdrner as follows:
at is probable there is even less good
seed corn in the great reproducing
regions of the West than was to be
found last spring. 1t is especially inn
pOrtant that farmers should be sure of
the vitality of the seed to be used,
whether that grown by themselves or
that purchased. An experienced farmer
can form a pretty accurate opinion by
carefully examining the germ. Often a
look at the cob or kernels is sufficient
To enable one to decide against the
sample.
But actual test, by sprouting, is by
far the safest method. This need not
be especially troublesome. 1t is desira-
bic to select kernels from 4 considera-
BILE number of ears, and from near the
middle OF the ears, as sometimes kerr
nels from tips or butts will terminate
when those near the middle will not.
These kernels may be placed in earth
in any pan or dish, the earth being kept
moist and at moderate temperature, by
being kept in n warm room. A still
more convenient method is to place the
kernels between layers of moist cotton
or almost any kind of cloth. If the
cloth is kept moist and the temperature
somewhere near sixty degrees, two or
three DAYS time will show whether the
corn cal be depended on for seed. 1t
is safe to make some discount from the
percentage which terminates, as the
conditions in early planting may be less
favorable.
IF the ears are selected from bins or
cribs, care should he taken to try those
near the center. at least in part Most
farmers VIII admit the desirability of
some mode of testing seed corn, and
yet large ma 'ority fail to make any
sufficient test"
culture PrGliqUe recommends a test
which he has used for many years with
complete success. 1t is that of fire.
Take at random a number of seeds from
the bag, say. eight. Put some live Goals
on shovel, and deposit each of the
seeds successfully thereon. Blow the
coal, and watch how the seed behaves.
If the combustion is slow, merely giving
off some smoke, You may conclude that
the seed had damaged germ; if, on
the other hand, the seed leaps and turns
about on the coal. producing dry
sound (tac) proportional to the size. it
may he inferred to have COOL germina-
tive qualities. In this way the proper
ton of good and Lad seeds may be as
ccrtained. As fer the larger seeds, such
As acorns and chestnuts, it is sufficient
10 throw them into n fire, and Neep
them in view. If the quality is good.
this will be indicated ere long by the
defamation of the seed. Prairie Farmer.

A Fat Man in a Herdic.

A Jolly old gentleman, whose alder.
manic obesity betokened at least two
hundred and fifty pounds, had rather
laughable experience in a herdic in Bos.
ton few days ago He took herdic.
and upon reaching the corner OF
Beacon street, where he wished to bu
left, found he could not get out, as tho
spring latch of the door had become
disarranged, and the door could not be-
opened except by breaking it. The
bright idea of getting out through tho
window presented itself to the old gen.
tlcman, and he proceeded to carry it
into execution. After getting his head
and shoulders out his body seemed so
wedged that he could not move. The
driver pulled and tugged to get him
through, but in vain. A crowd of per-
sons gathered and were exceedingly lib
eral in their suggestions as to how the
unhappy man could be relieved from
his dilemma. Alter much difficulty thu
victim decided to follow the advice of
one, and proceeded TO lower himself out
legs first. In this he was assisted by
Patrolman Maynes, but the united eff
forts of the officer and the jehu were
unavailing, and the poor old man was
soon in worse predicament than ever.
For some time he remained balanced on
the sill of the window, unable to get
either in or out. The crowd continued
to throw out suggestions. and after
much labor the old gentleman, Crest
fallen and completely crushed. was
pushed back into the herdic. and it was
driven to blacksmith's shop. There
the door was forced and the unwilling
prisoner was at liberty. Upon regain
ing his wonted geniality he seemed to
enjoy his experience, and laughed as
much as anybody over it. at the same
time however; expressing desire that :
