The following paragraph from an ex-
change hits the nail on the head as fairly
and squarely as it is possible to do it :
g 1t takes live men to make live town.
Dead men are only fit to inhabit cen,e-
teries. If they are really decently dead,
dead all over, we tenderly lay them away
in the sleep of the tomb, but if they are
dead to all enterprise and spirit, outside
of the narrow limits of their own selfish
interests, and yet persist in walking
around, moving their dry bones and cal,
loused hearts and conscience where real
business is wont to throb and push with
vigor, they are only like the drone bees
in the way until they are stung to death
and dragged outside the hive of legiti
mate industry. Twenty real live mer
are worth more to 4 town and the publ,
generally than round, full thousand O
such useless material that lay arount
like rubbish, in a rushing stream that i
aching and foanling to turn mills AM
factories. Yes, live men bless and deat

CHICAGO, July 10th, 1886.
We have had q large demand for
many grades of wool the past week, and,
what Is better, there are developed indi-
cations pointing to an enlarged trade on
our market in the early future for all
grades at good prices. OF course we are
exceedingly busy at present opening the
large receipts, and it takes time to grade
such so as to realize best prices. Our
conslgnors must therefore be considerate
II they do not hear from us as promptly
as desired. We are working for their
interests, all the same. At this, to us,
particularly active season, we must first
see that each shipment is graded correct
ly, and so that it will, and that it does.

a general way, we can say that there is

Between general market quotations and

more OR less difference between buyers
and sellers in their views of values.
Low combing woods continue in large
demand. We hear of some shading in
prices of medium combing, but think it |
unnecessary. Coarse and low-priced
stock still receives a great deal of atten-
ton, and is scarce. The coarse woods Of |
Mexico, Colorado, etc., sell as fast as
offered. Many lots of western woods, |
Kansas, Neb. and the territories, are ar
irving in much lighter condition than
usual, and we have sold the fine grades |
OF such at full up to, or better than, the
prices of year ago. We have received |
some lots that for quality and condition
OF wool are worth and will bring as
much as the best woods of this section.
Not much has yet been done in medium
clothing woods, but they will be wanted.
We hear Of some slight concessions in
prices of such, however, to effect prompt
sales.

An exchange says that set of rascals
are going about the country who call
when the men are away and represent
ing themselves to be lamp inspectors, y
under an official appointment, demand
that all lamps in the house be shown for
inspection. They then make out Ger.
tificate for each lamp and collect ten
cents for each and get away to the mex;
house. In this way they make big
wages, but the amount at each place is sc
small that nobody cares to make an ar
rest. We can't think that many persons
could be taken in that way, but it is best
to look out for all swindlers.

A Brooklyn clergyman, Rev. DIR. Lud-
low, who had been travelling in the Holy
Land, had the bravery to venture visit
to the curious colony of Druses-the
Mohammedan sect inhabiting the side
of Mount Hermon, which a few wears
ago was guilty of the frightful massacre
OF the Christians Whereabouts. He found
them strange people, blood-thirsty for
backsheesh, however, rather than for
gore, and turning their hatred for the
time being against Turks instead of
Christians. The curiosity of the Druses
extended to the interior of the visitors
pockets, and they even made off with the
latters' boots, which they had politely
taken off in calling upon the chief of the
village. DR.. Ludlow will give an account
of his amusing experiences in the Au-
gust HARpER's.

GEOGRAPHY WITHOUT BooKs.-In the
geography classes proper no books have
been used, and few maps save those
made by the teacher and class. Mr..
Beust goes to the blackboard and begins
to draw a map of Switzerland. With a
blue pencil he marks the great rivers.
The boys and girls do the same on the
sheet of paper before them. With vel
low pencil he marks the railroads, with
red the mountains. The class do the
same, following and duplicating the work
step by step, and answering as they go
along the teachers frequent questions
about the locality they are drawing
" How high is that mountain ?" he asks
"What great battle was fought in thai
valley? Who of you ever visited tha
town? Tell me anything you know
about it? Did the school ever make al
excursion there? What day was that
Who has it noted DOWN." So the worl
goes on,-the map and the questions
The boys and the girls have been on

ICE WATER UNHEALTHY.

The latest theory concerning Bright'i
disease and other affections Of the kid
neys are that they are due to the i'm
moderate use of ice water and other
chilled beverages. Thirty or forty years
ago, a physician asserts, when people
slaked their thirst with fresh water from
we'll or pump, kidney disease was virtu-
ally unknown. Now, however, the gen.
eral use of ice in every household and
saloon and the multiplication of soda
fountains cause thousands of persons to
abruptly shock their heated internal Or
gans with freezing draughts, and kidney
troubles are prevalent.

A BRIDEGROOMS TERROR.
From the Bowling Green (Ky.) Critic.

Any one who has travelled to any ex-
tent ON steamboats, is familiar with the
unearthly racket made by the little
donkey engine on the forecastle when
in operation. 1t is mostly used for the
purpose of lowering and hosting freight
into and out of the hold, being known
in the river parlance as the tiger" On
one occasion the writer was a passenger
on that staunch Tennessee river packet,
the Silver Cloud, Captain Jack Sleeth,
with "Old Hoss" Edwards as first mate.
Somewhere about Johnsonville the boat
had shipped a newly-married couple
The groom was regular curio, green as
the grass of his native hills. He had
never ridden mile on a steamboat
in his life, and, to complicate matters
some wag had stuffed him full of stories
concerning the horrible atrocities the
reckless mariners were accustomed tt
perpetrate upon their helpless passen
gers. The twain were assigned to 9
state-room near to our own. Late il
the night we were awakened by com
motion next door. The boat was at thu
bank taking on number OF hogsheadl
of tobacco. sold Hoss" was ashor,
directing the work, and high above tn
roar of the escaping steam, his stentorial
voice could be heard giving orders to hi
crew.

the heavy hogsheads down the stee
bank. 81 tell you to cut him in tn

ONLY Il LITTLE WORD.
BY MRS. A. M. WORTH.

All, me did you ever think, my friend,
The power of . little word,
SO lightly uttered In idle jest,
Twas scarcely noticed or heard?
Yet in after hours, with meaning new,
1t ranked deep III the heart;
And nOurished by thought. from the seed sprang
The tree of bitterest hate
All, me what fires have been kindled,
What rivers OF wrath have been stirred,
BY word in lightnesS spoken,
BY only a thOughtless word.
A silent shrug, or a whisper lOW,''
A look OF covert Sneer,
Often, how often, more fatal prove
Than the thrust OF swords or spear.
Mems lives have been backened forever
BY false word said at court:
And women, their bright, fair fame have lost
BY jealousy's false report.
All, me what homes have been darkened,
What lives have been blOtted and blurred
BY q word in malice spoken
BY only q yengeful word.
A hopeful word to. a hopeless soul SAT
Who can count the wealth OF good,
The lives made better, the sad hearts cheered
BY tender, loving word.
lie has raised some erring, fallen one,
From out the treacherOus sand
From out the mlre of the slough despond"
On the solid rock to stand.
What joy to heart all sorrow,
What peace to heart all torn,
BY a kindly hand and gentle
Word, in tender tone.
Perchance we may reap not in earth life g
The fruit of the seed we have soWn;
But when we have been gathered up Wonder
The harvest will all be shown;
There, stars in our crown Of rejoicing
The souls that for heaven we've won.
Yet blessed above our browning will be
The Masters plaudit, So Well done"
Let us guard our lips what we utter,
For we read, I" What We SOW, shall We reap.
Let us sow but our kind words only,
Nor scatter the tareS among the wheat.
