A statement of the gate receipts of
the Exposition for 40 days shows that
the total number of paying admissions
was 1,158.840 persons, yielding the sum
of 1888, 361.45, or a daily average of
$3137.45. What the public desires next
to know are the amounts received for
the entry fees of exhibits, proceeds OF
sales of privileges and commissions on
sale of goods. These items furnished,
and correct idea of the total revenues
of the Exposition will be had. Let the
figures be given in response to the pop
ular demand.-N. 0. States.

Boys and Their Parents.

The question which every boy dis
cusses at some time or other is, What
are parents good for9 and not every
bow arrives at any definite conclusion.
We have received letter from a youth
who feels himself oppressed by what
Ireland is praying for home rule, and
asking us "why boys are not grown
men 2"
A boy is an old sort of an institution,
but we should like to give a piece of
advice to this one. 1t may seem para
doxical, but it is nevertheless true, that
when we are in the gullyhuff period We
know more than we do at fifty. When
we begin to know that we don't know,
and really think instead of merely
thinking that we think, we are very
glad that we have parents. The Ordi-
nary specimen of the genus homo is least
fond of his parents when he needs them
most, and most fond of them when he
needs them least.
A good woman's slipper, properly
and vigorously applied, is a means Of
grace, if not salvation. Its application
has fallen into disuse of late, and per-
haps that is the reason why SO many
boys are asking what are parents good
for.
The old word for mother meant house
goddess. In some Eastern countries
the son who was disohedient TO his
mother was publicly disgraced. She
was "the enlarger Of the family and
as the Pail Mall Gazette says, "a son
might buy his freedom from duty to-
ward his father, but could not get free
of bis obligation to his house goddess
"A great many men who their youth
chafed against the restraints of home
would, in their old age, give half their
fortune to see the old mothers face
once more.-New York Herald.

The signal officer on the summit OF

When to Stop Advertising.

: When every man has become so
thoroughly creature of habit that he
will certainly buy this year where he
bought last year.
When younger and fresher and
spunkier concerns in your line cease
starting up and using the newspapers
in telling the people how much better
they can do for them than you can.
When nobody else thinks ut pays to

When population ceases to multiply
and the generations that crowd ON after
you, and never heard OF you, stop
coming on.-Geye,'s Stahoner.
