Advice to Young Men.

Remember, my son, you nave to
work. Whether you handle pick
or pen, WheeIbarroW or a set of
books, digging bitches, or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell or writ
ing funny things, you must WOrE. If
you look around you will see the men
who are the most able to live the rest
Of their days without work are the
men who work the hardest. Don't
be afraid of killing yourself with
OYerWOrk. 1t is beyond your power
to do that on the sunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes, but it's because
they quit work at & P. NJ. and don't
get home until 2 A. NJ. It's the in
terval that kills, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals
it lends soidity to your slumber it
gives you a perfect and grateful APP
probation of holiday. There are
young men who do not work but
the world is not proud of them. 1t
does not know their names even. 1t
simply speaks Of them as Old So, and.
SOS boys. Nobody likes them the
great busy world doesn't know that
they are there. So find out what
you want to be and do, and take off
your coat and make dust in the
world. The buster you are, the less
harm you will be apt to Get into the
sWeeter will be your sleep, the brigh-
ter and happier your holidays, and
the better satiEfied will the world be
with you. -BMdette.

Sad, but Can't be Helped.

A certain ring of half dozen men
have for the past year been in the
habit Of meeting at a certain Detroit
drug store every evening to tell
stories and indulge in gossip, and the
way they have hung on each time
has been a terrible trial to the drug
gist. The other day, after severe
struggle with himself, he tackled one
OF the cOterie about it, explaining:
"Of course I don't want to hurt
your feelings, but seems to me you
could break up an hour earlier"
"Oh, no otfense whatever" was
the reply, "but III tell you what the
trouble is. If we could all go out to
gether 1t would be all right, but if
one gets up and starts off the rest all
talk about him."
Elbow %
"Well, if the colonel goes ont, the
door has hardly closed on him before
somebody remarks that 1t is curious
how he got his title as he was in
Canada all through the war. If the
judge follows him some one says he
doesn't know any more about law
than a dog does of playing the piano.
If go out, some one hints that | had
to leave Indiana for setting my gro
Gerry on fire. and so it goes. You see
how embarrassing it is ?"
"I'll fix it after this" replied the
druggist after little reflection, and
that night, as 10 O'Clock struck, boy
came in and announced a big fire
down town. The gang went out in
a body, and although the report was
false not one returned. The next
night the boy announced an accident
around the corner, and next he had a
stabbing affair near by. The gang
soon tumbIed to the racket, and now,
as the clock strikes 80. every man
rises to his feet and they go out to-.
gether. This places all on an equal
footing, and there is only one sad
thought connected with the scheme.
1t is that the druggist and his clerk,
who must perforce be left behind,
will SANDER and abuse the whole
gang as soon AS their backs are turn.

Government Newspapers.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. ia
queer document was laid before the
Senate to-day, in the shape of me-
mortal from NJ. Krausk0pf, of Brook
lyn, urging that the Government
shall establish newspaper at every
first-cIass postOffice in the United
States, to be published at pubic ex
pense and for public use, such papers
to be for the publication, free, to all
advertisements of the people who
may choose to avail themselves of
the columns of the Government
newspapers.
The memOrialist sets forth that
the only tyranny existing in this
country is the tyranny of the press /;
that the press is a powerful dynasty,
and unless this d eSpotlsIn is check ed
and overthrow it will suhvert the
Government. The only power com
petent to grapple with the tyrannical
press is the Government, and he ur-
ges that Government papers be es-
tablished. The memorial covers
thirty-siX pages of legal cap paper,
and the opinions and greviences of
the memOrialiSt are set forth in the
minuteSt detail.

Josh Billings Philosophy.

The greatest possible injury that a
man kan do to humanity il to preach
infidelity.
God never has placed one single
thing we must have out Ov our reach:
our great misfortune il. the things we
kant get we want most.
1t IL terrible burden for the heart
TO carry to the grave a secret it can
not reveal
The strongest trait in human kar-
akter IL the love of chance. A man
who never takes chance will never
git abuv the dignity of tending a glide
board.
A man without habits is without
karakter; he liz like bul's-eye
watch-he may keep time, but he
has got to be wound up regular to
do it.
Progress IL the great law, and the
more progress we make here the
nearer we shall be to heaven when
we die.
Every man kan be a hero on hiz
own dunghll, but to be hero on sum
boldly else's dunghill il what strains

The greatest bore on this earth il
the one who kant talk about any.

possessor and be slept on bi others.

Natural Gas.

A prominent Western manufactu-
rer, talking at Pittsburgh, said that
all manufacturers distant from that
city must either have natural gas or
a cheap substitute. Says he: "Chem-
lists all over the world will now 90 in g.
to the question of producing or man
ufacturing fuel gas as cheaply as pos
sible, and when you start great
number of educated men on the trail
of an idea, they are bound to make
something drop. Manufacturers, out
side of the Pittsburgh district, can
well afford to spend thousands of
dollars in a matter of this kind.
Why, they have got to find some
thing to compete with Pittsburgh, or
else move their plants here, and that
involves an immense outlay of mon.
ey. This, of course. depends on the
Dermanency of the supply, but even
if it should give out, do not think
our manufacturers would go back to
the old ideas of fuel. They have
found out too much already regarding
the advantages of a gas fuel to go
back to coal"
