BEFORE YOU BlJY.

Make it a rule to always ask your
self this one question Do need the
articley If you do not, Of what real
benefit will it be to you to own it,
Then, even should you have the mon
ey to pay for it at once, it is best to
let it alone and if you have not the
money, it is not only folly to buy it,
but an injustice you do youl selfto 60
in debt for it. In all your purchases
take time to think, and don't be
tempted by fair offers or cheap or
handsome articles, into buying any
thing that you really do not need. 1t
is very few articles that you can sell
for cost month after you buy them.
Don't lock up your capital unwisely,
but try to refrain from buying and
lay up something for rainy day. 1t
is very gratifying to ones pride to
have an abundance Of fine things
around you, but remember that pay
day must come some time. Very
likely you will tire of your luxuries
in a short time, and then you will
feel that you have only squandered
your money. The first step to indie
pendence is to deny yourself all use
less expenses, and to do this you
must think before you buy, 1t is
moi what person makes but what
he saves that makes him rich If
you would save the dollars you must
avoid spending the cents. Above all
things, do not go in debt for what
you do not really need.

BRIGANDS.

On May II small Italian coast
ing vessel put into the harbor of Por-
to Vecchio, on the southeast coast of
Corsica. After the anchor had been
cast two sailors went ashore for wood.
1t was then about s o'clock in the
morning, Scarcely had the men
landed and moored their boat when
they were accosted by two Corsicans
armed with muskets, who had issued
from neighhoring thicket, and who
turned out to be two brigands. These
ruffians ordered one of the sailors to
return to his vessel and ask the skip
per for sum of f12 as ransom for
his companion. Unless the money
were forthcoming to the last farthing
the hostage was to be shot. The
sailor went ON board and recounted
his perilous adventure and its threat
ened consequences unless the money
were forthcoming. There was not,
however, a sufficient sum on board
the vessel to pay the ransom, and, as
last resource, the alarm signal was
hoisted to attract the attention OF the
military guarding the entrance to the
harbor and town. At this juncture
the briganda, who watched every
movement on board the coaster,
brought down their hostage where he
could be seen by his companions, and
one of them placing his rifle against
the poor fellows left ear, fired. The
sailor fell dead and his murderers
vanished.

TRUE BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.

1t is as easy to be rich man as a
poor one. Half the energy displayed
in keeping ahead that is required to
catch up when behind would save
credit, give more time to attend to
business, and add to the profit and
reputation of those who work for gain.
Honor your engagement. If you
promise to meet man or to do GER
tain thing at certain moment, be
ready at the appointed time. If you
go on business, attend promptly to
matters on hand, then as promptly 90
about yonr own business.
Do not stop to tell stories in bust
ness hours.
II you have place of business be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores.
Never ''fool" on business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, liber-
atty, prOmptness. Do not NEEDLE
with business you know nothing of.
Never buy an article you do not need,
simply because it is cheap and the
man who sells it will take it out in
trade. Trade is money. Strive to
avoid harsh words and personalities.
Do not kick every stone in the path,
more miles can be made in day by
going steadily on than by stopping
to kick. Pay as you go. A man of
honor respects his word as he does
his bond. Aid, but never beg. Help
others when you can, but never give
what you cannot afford to, simply be-
cause ID is fashionable. Learn TO say
mo. No necessity for swapping it
out in dog-fashiOn, but say firmly and
respectfully. Have but few conf
dants, and the fewer the better. Use
your own brains rather than those of
others. Learn to think and act for
yourself Be vigilant. Keep ahead
rather than behind the times.
Young man, cut this out, and if
there be folly in the argument, let us
know.

DANGERS IN AFRICA.

''The most dangerous savage foes
we have to fear" says Mr.. Stanley,
''are the crocodile, hippopotamOus
and the buffalo. We lost five men
during my last visit to the Congo
from these animals; three were kill
ed by crOcodiles, one bya buffalo.
There are large number of hippo
pototami along the Congo and its
tributaries, and thousands upon thou
sands of crocodiles. The latter are
by far the most insidious foes We
have, because they are so silent and
so swift. You see man bathing in
the river" said Mr.. Stanley, with
one of his vivid graphic touches she
is standing near the shore. laughing
at you, perhaps, laughing in the keen
enjoyment of his BATH suddenly he
falls over and you see HIM no more.
A crocodile has approached unseen,
has struck him a blow with his tail
that knocks him over, and he is in
stantly seized and carried off. Or, it
may be that the man is swimming;
he is totally unconscious of danger !;
there is nothing in sight, nothing to
stir tremOr of apprehension; but
there, in deep water under the shad-
ow of that rock, or hidden beneath
the shelter of the trees yonder, is a
huge crocodile it has spotted the
swimmer, and is watching the oppor-
tpnity the swimmer approaches he
is within striking distance stealthily,
silently, unperceived, the creature
makes for its prey the man knows
nothing till he is seized by the leg
and dragged under, and he knows no
more A hubble or two indicates
the place where he has gone down,
and that is all.

Texas has new industry. The
Clear Creek Crab Canning Company
has been organized in Galveston
county, and is doing big business
in catching and canning crabs. The
shells are removed entire except the
claws, ground in a mill, and shipped
to France, where they are manufac-
tured into dentritrice. The oil that
arises on the vats where the crabs
are boiled is used in making soap,
and is said to be equal to cocoanut
oil for this purpose. The crabs them
selves are packed in five-gallon cans,
and are reckoned good.

A NATURAL TELEPHONE.

An exchange says: The Yuma
Sentinel tells Of natural telephone
in the wonderful Pacific coast coun-
try. 1t says that a train of cars is
plainly heard on the Atlantic & Pa
cific railroad at The Needless for a
distance Of seventy-eight miles to a
place called Cottonwood island. The
discharge of the sunrise gun at Fort
Mohave can be plainyl heard at Colo
RADIO canon, distance of one hun
dred miles. Sounds can be UNDER
stood IN the narrows of the grand
cannon of the Colorado, distance of
eighteen miles. The whistle of a
Colorado steamer can be heard from
Ell Dorado canon to Weaverville, the
head of navigation, distance of
seventy-eight miles and by tumbling
rock over the precipice at Lees
Ferry you can plainly hear the echo
down the river at Weaverville, a dis
lance of thirty-six miles.

LESSON FOR ROYS.

Daniel Webster once told a good
story in a speech, and was asked
where he got it. Il had it laid up in
my head for fourteen years, and new
er got chance to use it until to-
day." said he.
My little friend wants to know
what good it will do to learn the
"Rule of Three" or to commit q
verse of the Bible. The answer is
this; Some time you will need that
very thing. Perhaps it may be TWEEN
ty years before you can make it fit in
just the right place; but it will be
just in place some time. Then if
you don't have it, you will be like
the hunter who had no ball in his ri
tle when the bear met him.
twenty-five years ago my teacher
made me study surveying" said a
man who had lately lost his property,
"and now | am glad of it. 1t is Just
in place. can get good situation
and high salary" The Bible is bet
ter than that: it will be in place as
long as We live.

A METEOR IN A POND.
From the Utica Herald.

A hinge erolite has fallen into
Spring Pond, near St. Regis Falls,
and nearly filed the pond. The
body of water usually contained in
the pond was nearly all spattered out
and the supposed smoke seen was
steam generated by the water run
ming back around the heated mass.
Mud was thrown into the tree tops,
and trout was scattered promiscuous-
ly around the pond, literally covering
the banks, The news soon became
circulated through the neighborhood,
and scores of boys and men were
seen all day yesterday engaged in
picking the fish up, and bushels of
them were drawn away. The fish
nearest the pond that Topped back
into the still boiling water were com
pletely cooked. This huge mass
seems to be mineral, but has not
cooled off enough yet to admit of an
examination.

A SENSE OF HONOR.

There is no little doubt that the
thing which most needs to be taught
this generation of Americans by min
listers of the gospel, by both clerical
and lay instructors of youth, by all
who have public interest or private
authority, is a sense of honor, 1t
must be shown and insisted upon
that every position in life where one
person is employed by another to do
certain work imposes an obligation
to fulfill the duties of the place with
an honorable and disinterested re-
gard for the interests of his employ
er. 1t must be shown that this view
of employment applies to the cook,
the errand boy, the cashier, the leg
islator, the governor, the president:
This is trite, and apparently sim
pie, and somewhat stupid view of the
opportunities of "smart" and ambi-
tious American of our day. But un-
less this commonplace view of re-
sponsibility is laid hold Of by increas-
ing numbers in the future of our
country, we will not say that our So
ciety will go to pieces, but we will
say that our calamities will increase,
and that we viii get into troubles,
and not soon out Of them, compared
with which the dangers and distress
es of the past will seem almost insig-
ni6cant.

Norman b, Ream, John Cudahy
and N. $. Jones constitute the Chi

just now attracting the attention of
the country by its immense opera
tons in wheat and railroad stocks.
Six years ago all OF them were poor
men and ali Of them have become
rich within that time In 1873 Ream

business on the Chicago Board. Gu

An Indian funeral procession in
eastern Oregon is thus described:
1.-The defunct had been set upon
horse, and a stick had been dashed
along each side of his body to keep it
in an upright position. The head
was not supported in any way, and
as the horse trotted along the body
seemed bowling in every direction
and the head shaking in a horribly
grotesque manner. The widow,
dressed in hee mourning paint, trot-
ted along behind on lazy mule, to
which she kept vigorously applying
the Whip"

A mischievous crowd at Grand
Forks, Oak, had some very unique
fun the other day. They wanted to
scare young lahores who had fallen
in love with a farmers wife, and
hanged him to limb. They enjoy
ed the fun 50 much that they let him
hang minute too long, and when
they cut him down he was too dead to
accept their apologies. They then
decided that he had turned the joke
on them, and good humoredly treated
him to brand new coffin.

The Genesee river is surprising
manufacturers along its banks by its
increasing volumn ofwater from year
to year. Some years ago, in common
with other streams in Nav York
State, the water diminished and the
mills and factories that depended
on it for power were obliged to use
steam. The Rochester Democrat
says that millers wh9 have not used
their wheels for years are getting
back to them, much to their fnan-
cial advantage. No explanation is
given for this condition Of the river.

A professional beggar died recent
ly in Rio JaneirO and left a fortune
of saOO,0lO. A Hiq journal remarks
that the discovery should occasion
no surprise, as it was well known
that many of the beggars in that city
are worth more than those who be-
stow aims on them. The same may
be said Of besgaFs elsewhere.

EARN WHAT YOU SPEND.

Three-fourths of all the difficulties
and miseries of men come from the
fact that they want wealth without
earning it fame without deserving
it popularity without temperance {;
respect without virtue, and happiness
without compliance with natures
laws The man who wants the best
things and is willing to pay Just what
they are worth, by honest effort and
hard selt-denial, will have no Difficult
ty in getting what he wants at last.
1t is the men who ask indulgence
that are snubbed and disappointed
aud overwhelmed in the end.
Happiness cannot be bought by the
bottle, nor caught by the excursion
train, nor put on with any robe or
jewels, not eaten at any feast. 1t
does not exists in any exhileration
excitement or ownership, but comes
from the use of faculties of body and
mind.

Hydrophobia is creating great ex-
citement at Yankton, Dakota. Peo-
pie, dogs, hqFsas, hog2, etc, have heea
bitten by mad dogs, and all dogs,
not muzzled are ordered by
the Board of Health to be shot. This
will probably keep Dakota out of the
Union year or two longer.

A manufacturer of Breslau is stated
to have built chimney over fifty
feet in height entirely Of paper. The
blocks used in its construction, in
stead of being of brick or stone, were
made of compressed paper, jointed
with silicious cement. The chimney
is said to be very elastic, and also
fre-proof. We may add that picture
frames are now made of paper, ON the
continent. Paper pulp, glue, linseed
oil, and carbonate of lime or whiting
are mixed together and heated into
thick cream which, on being allowed
to cool, is run into moulds and hard
ened. The frames are the ngilt or
bronzed in the usual way.

After all, the good wife and the
boys and girls are the best things on
the farm. Don't forget this when you
find yourselfgiven up, night and day,
to thinking about and caring for
those cows and pigs. If the pig or
calf goes wrong it can be replaced
with money, but not 10 with a help
mate wrecked with overwork, or a
girl gone astray. The best type Of
a farmer is the one who thinks of his
family first not that he thinks less
Of his farm ana its belongings, but
more of his wife and children.

Our thoughts are often worse than
We are just as they are often better
than we are. And God sees us as
We are altogether, not in separate
feelings or actions as our fellow-men
see us. We are always doing each
other injustice, and thinking better
OF worse Of each other than we de-
serve, because we only hear and see
separate words and actions. We
don't see each others whole nature.
