Cider Drinking.

About the ugEest, sourest, meanest,
drunkard on the globe is the cider
drunkard. He does not need to visit
saloons, his saloon is down cellar; and
he drinks and guzzles and scolds and
sweals, until he makes his home hell,
and life burden to ali around him.
There is some who object to drin king
rum, or brandy, but think there is no
harm in drinking cider. The stimulat-
ing and Intoxicating principle IN cider,
wine, brandy, gin. rum, lager beer and
all these ether intoxicants; it is alco-
hol, and alcohol is the same poisonous
and deadly agent where it is found.
The man who commences with sweet
cider is likely to proceed to sour cider,
and finish off with rum, gin. brandy,
whiskey and all the catalogue of alec
hole poisons which ruin mankind and
desolate the world. Boys, let cider
alone-The Pacific.

1t was on the 18th day of June,
1775, that George Washington was
chosen Commander-in-Ch of the
American army. The next day he
made his answer to Congress, in which
he declared that he accepted the Office,
but that he would take no pay. He
left Philadelphia on his way to Bos-
ton, June q, escorted by troop of
horsemen, and accompanied by Schuy-
Ter and Lee, who had just been made
major-generals by Congress. They
had gone about twenty miles when
they saw man on horseback coming
rapidly down the road. 1t was a
messenger riding post-haste to Phila-
delphia, and carrying to Congress
news of the battle of Bunker Hill.
Everybody was stirred by the news
and wanted to know the particulars.
"Why were the Provincials COM
PEELED to retreat?" he was asked.
at was for want of ammunition, -
he replied.
"Did they stand the fire ofthe regu-
lar troops?" asked Washington anx-
iously.
"That they did, and held their own
fire in reserve until the enemy was
within eight rods"
"Then the liberties of the country
are safe!' exclaimed Washington.
He remembered we'll the scenes under
Braddock, and knew what sight it
must have been to those New England
farmers when a compact body of uni
formed soldiers came marching up
from the boats ut Charlestown. If
they could stand fearlessly, there was
stuff in them for soldiers.-From
George Washington" by Horace E.
Scudder, in St. Nicholas for June.

By our own Reporter.
West SUPERIOR and Gen. Hammond.

On the 18th of this month Gen.
Hammond will turn the office and
business of the Land and River I'M
provement Co., over to Mr. Weyemss,
of Kansas City Mo. The General has
cleared large field for him to work
in, he will not haye the hard work to
do that the Gen. has had clearing and
mapping out the townsite and great
railroad center of the Northwest. 1t
is only question of time, and not
long time at that, when the present
townsite will be covered with q city
unparalleled in the history of the IN
tied States. Basing our calculations
on the improvements of the past five
years, in another FIVE years there Will
be a population of 125,O00 people,
at the head of Lake Superior. The
old Gen. saw this and well he knew
that the little cove in the rocks where
Duluth is planted could not hold all
the people that wanted to come to the
head of the Lake. As he sat at the
window of his room, in Duluth. look
ing up and down the bay and lake in
search of a location. his keen eyes
caught sight of what he thought to be
an EXTENSIVE plateau on the Wiscon-
sin side of st. Louis bay. Upon in
quiring, he was told that it was an
endless swamp that man could not
get through it only in the winter. To
satisfy himself he came oyer and found
it good hard land with undula-
ton enough for the best of drainage
being 26 feet 6 inches to the mile. He
at once set to work to obtain the title
to this land which he finally did. Be
ing skilled in mapping he mapped out
the present townsite, the railroad
bridge across the St Louis bay, located
the Union Depot 30x91 feet two stories
high which is now built and finished
on the most approved plan. Still he
is not satisfied, he says he Will build
a railroad from mere to Montreal.
Judging the future by what he has al
ready done we have reason to believe
it will be built Upon his representa-
tons railroad companies have made
large investments here, the largest ell
evator in the world is now in process
of erection by the Manitoba railroad
company who have as yet no road here
but when J. ]. Hill speaks the word
the dirt will fly and short work is
made Of building a railroad Many
other valuable Improvements are con-
stantly being made. Great credit is
due Gen. Hammond for the scheme.

all the time object of an advertisement
is to draw custom. 1t is not, was not.
and never will be designed for any other
human purpose. So the merchant
waits till the busy season comes and his
store is so full of custom he can't get
his hat off and then he rushes to the

and there is no trade and he wants to
sell goods so bad he can't pay his rent.
he takes out his advertisement That
is, some of them do, but occasionally a
level-headed merchant puts in a bigger

his neighbors are making mortgages to
pay the gas bill. There are times when

everything in the store if you planted a
