He was honest, kind and true, a warm friend
and good ncighbor. The boys and girls oil

been Young once himself. He was never stiff
and cross and bossy with them but was their
good friend. He became rich, was made
mayor of New York city, and lived 10 10
very old. lie lost his life in steamboat dis
aster. Those who found his dead body found
scrap of printed paper in his pockctbook.
1t was so worn with oft reading that they
could scarcely make out the words, but this
is what was upon the paper:
Keep good company or none. Never be
idle.
If your hands cannot be uSefully employed,
attend to the cultivation Of your mind
Always speak the truth. Make few prom
ises
Live up to your engagements.
Keep Your own secrets, il you have any
When you speak TO n person, look him in

Good company and good conversation are

Good character is above all things else.
Your character cannot he essentially in.

When You retire To bed, think over what

Make no haste 10 be rich, if you would

Never play mt my game Of chance.
Avoid temptation, through fear you may
not withstand it.
Earn money before you spend it,
Never run into debt, unless you sec plainly

The Hunger Cure.

Not favoring anything which may be fairly
called starvation, it is unquestionably true
that there is a manifest advantage, as cura-
tive means, in reasonable fasting, at least to
an extent to allow the system to rid itself OF
all distractions. As when we have more
labor on hand than can be possibly done to
day, some of it must remain till tomorrow,
so when we take more food than can DO d.
gested in the allotted time, or that so difficult
of digestion that it cannot be disposed OF In
the usual time, there must be an accumula-
ton, something which serves as an obStruc-
ton, an accumulation Of materials which
need TO be disposed of, the wholesystem being
more or less clogged.
Fasting, therefore, under such clrcum-
stances, Is among the most important of the
remedial measures When this is not done,
nature, as the next best means to be EN-
ployed, throws Off such offending matter by
vomiting or purging, thus avoiding other
forms of disease, if as disease these friendly
manifestations may De regarded. l well
know that there are persons who believe that
one must eat or soon die, but they forget that
Dr. Tanner lived for forty days, taking only
water. and that others have lived still longer,
and that i'll high fevers and acute diseases,
when the appetite is entirely suspended, sew
eral weeks may pass while the patient Is fast
ing.
The danger of starvation is not rs great as
is usually supposed by any means, since the
body is composed mainly of the elements OF
air and water, which, we suppose, may DO ap,
propriated in an emergency. Therefore,
am firm in the opinion that ut the commence,
ment of an acute disease, decided sickness
may be averted, in nine cases out OF ten, by
reasonable fasting, at least so long MS there Is
40 appetite, with extra bathing, friction Of
the surface, quiet, rest, good supply of air
and sunlight.-Dr. Hanaford.

A Good Enigma-what Was Found In q
Dead Mans Pocket" the Sunny

Money.
Why don't all our girls wake up and show
some Of the talent displayed by the one who
writes to The Michigan Farmer the letter
printed belowi How well off they would be
when they got to be women if they did If
there is one thing the girls Of our time par
ticularly need it is business sense and
business training to earn their own liv-
ing. The world is changing, and girls can
not expect their fathers and brothers to sup
port them. They often have as much as they
can do to take care of themselves these times
The girl who, when she becomes a woman
has n good business or trade or profession hy
which she can earn her living, has what is
better than a gold mine. Neither had luck
nor bad people can take it away from her. 1t
is wonderful, too, how much business talent
girl finds she has when she sets her heal to
it. She sometimes shows more Of II than her
brothers, and aStoniShes her father with her
shrewdneSs. Many women have made for

important Undertakings in Japan.

The projects for the new japanese
house OF parliament and other public
buildings ut Toxic have been approved of
by the government. Mr. Bockmann, the
German architect, who was sent for by
Japan to select sites for the projected
buildings, has made sketches for houses
OF parliament, q palace for the ministry
of justice, large law courts, and pre-
lecture. The plans for the first three
buildings are to be furnished by Mr..
BOckmann and his colleague, Mr.. Eude,
who will also superintend the cOnstruC
ton, which is to be completed in five
years. The houses of parliament will con-
sist of a house of lords Cfor the former
daimios and court nObles) and q house of
commons. The plans for the prefecture
and the direct superintendent of the
work Sre confined to the English architect
Mr.. Josiah Conder, who has been in the
employ of the Japanese government for
nine years. He will be assisted by Mr..
Archibald MANI.
The laying of the first stone Is to take
place next spring. a brick factory is to
be at once established on the coast of the
Gulf Of Toxic, where excellent clay has
been found; and the German geologist,
Professor Wagner, is commissioned to
Search for stone of fitting quality for the
works. Such stone is known to exist in
the neighboring mountains, but has
hitherto not been industriously quarricd

The "Mnr Library" in Berlin.

One of the sights Of Berlin IA sight NOR!
known, perhaps, to strangers than to
natives) is the KriegsbibliOthek, which
contains all known works printed during
and since the war of 1870 and 1871 hay-
ing direct relation to that campaign. The
extensive collection of books and pam
phlets is remarkably interesting. The
works range from the portly volumes COM
piled by the general staff to two page de-
scriptions of single battles and sieges. The
war reports Of foreign correspondents are
of especial value, as they include versions
coming from the opposite camps. There
are, moreover, maps and plans of all
battlefields, with representations OF
marches and sieges, also collections OF
debates in the Reichstag, diplomatic
documents, etc. Biographies Of princes,
generals, and other prominent personages
who figure in the history of the period,
and great bundles Of poetry and musical
compositions are also TO be found in the
library, while Photographic reproductions
of paintings bearing upon the war are
contained in numerous portfolios Carl
catures and humorous pictures form
not the least interesting part of the col
lection.-German Newspaper.

The forms Mon and Women

A singular change in the use of the words
designating men and women has come about
within the last fifty years. In the middle Of
the present century it was common to speak
of mans wife us "bis lady" To-day such a
use of the word would be regarded by many
rs an insult.
Neither the word gentleman nor lady is
used rs frequently as formerly. 1t used to bo
common for young girl TO speak of her
male friends as gentlemen. Now, she would
say a man had called on her, or four men
were presented TO her during the evening.
One is more likely to hear his barber spoken
Of as the gentleman who shaves him than
hear the president of the United States called
the gentleman who occupies the White House
1t would DC the man who is president.
The terms gentleman and lady were
originally used to designate q class in England
with special privileges. There is no distinc-
ton in class in the United States, and people
are all men and women alike.

Cholera in Corea,

The deaths from cholera in Corea were re-
ported for "a while at 900 per day. Seoul,
the chief city of the peninsula, contains
less than go, 900 inhabitants within its walls.
An important point to note is that the sani-
tary condition Of the capital has been for q
long time horrible, in spite of excellent
natural drainage. The sewers were once
very good, although open on the streets; but
of late the houses have encroached on the
thoroughfarcs, and have been recklessly
built up to and even over the sewers, leaving
only the space necessary for these conduits,
which have become filthier and flthier. The
lesson of this devastation of Seoul is the one
that would be taught in any other city of the
world under like circumstances; and horrible
and ptiahc rs was the mortality, insomuch
us the dead lay long unburied, it cannot be
called surprising.
