A TIMELY QUESTION.
Whom Shall We Trust in These Days OF
Dishonesty and Crime.


Dishonesty and Crime.
"Whom shall we trust?" is an oft.
repeated question nowadays, and it is
one that is indeed hard to answer.
Men of apparently the most strict
business integrity are proving dishon-
est. and some men in the church have
no more regard for other peoples
property than the robber barons of old,
or those desperadoes that sailed upon
the high seas in search of plumber.
There indeed seems to be an epidemic
of crime among men occupying high
positions in corporations and moneyed
institutions, and the example of one
defaulter meeting with just punish
ment does not seem to deter others
from following in his slippery foot
steps. This is. perhaps, because they
are not looked upon as ordinary Grim
inals; a certain air of respectability
seems to surround them, even in prison
clothes, and they are regarded as far
above the majority of their unfortunate
prison associates, when in reality they
are far beneath them.
1t is folly to try and excuse them by
saying that they did not mean to be
dishonest when they began. They
knew that they were doing wrong
when they took the first dollar, and
they did not take it almost uncon-
sciously, as many of their apologists
would have US believe. They abused
solemn trust when they began the pee
ulations, and no amount of sophistry
can alter this fact.
Neither should too much attention
be paid to the statements that some OF
these dishonest men have been very
charitable. 1t is easy to be liberal
with other peoples money, and some
of the most celebrated highwaymen
have been notoriously free handed in
giving money to the needy. "a man
must be just before he is generous, is
a maxim which many corporation and
bank officials should lay seriously at
heart. If this advice is followed it
may prevent the'frequent recurrence OF
the question, ''Whom shall we trust?h

LONG-LlVED WHIMS.
Curious Directions Contained in the Wills
of Various People.

of Various People.
An old woman who died lately in a
village in Western Pennsylvania
was so attached to her home and its
belongings that she bequeathed it to
her daughter so long as not an article
of furniture was removed from the
place it had occupied during her life.
ANY Change made in the house or fur
niture would forfeit the legacy. Not
year had elapsed after her death
when by an exp losion the house and all
in it were shattered to fragments.
In no way do the ruling passions of
men show themselves so strongly as by
their wills. A curious collection re-

Hamlet.
Harriet Martineau left her skull and
brain to surgeon, for the purpose or
scientific investigation. Cartouche
gave his skull to Genevese monas-
tery; and Jeremy Bentham his body to
friend, who articulated the skeleton
and dressed it in Bentham's own
clothes.
A wealthy English nobleman. dying
about a century ago. left five guineas
for the purchase of picture of viper
stinging the hand of his benefactor, to
be given to an ungrateful friend in lieu
of the large legacy left him by former
will, now revoked.
Every kind of whim and freak have
been expressed by wills. Sieur Benoit
desired that he might be buried in an
old leather trunk which had gone
around the world with him three times
A wealthy Kentucky iron-master, who
died few years ago, ordered that his
BODY should be kept unbnried bv his
family. and as soon as it was put under
ground they should forfeit their inher
itance.
A shrewd merchant in Bremen left
larpe legacies to six friends with the
condition that none of them should fol-
low him to the grave or show any sign
Of respect or grief on pain of forfeiture
Five obeyed the conditions, the sixth
rode as chief mourner and threw
flowers upon his coffin. A codicil was
discovered by which the loyal friend
who should disregard the will should
receive treble the amount given to the
others.

malignant attempts to make man $
whims live after he is dust 1t is the last
puerile effort of weak human nature to
defy death. - Youths Companion.

Pictures by Telegraph.

A Scotchman named w. Gemmil has
invented method of sending picture
by telegraph, by which photograph
taken at one end of the wire is istransmit-
ted and reproduced at the other. The
picture is primarily projected on sell
enium cell placed in the telegraphic cir
cult which, according to the degree OF
intensity of the light. received, acts up
on the current and through number of
subsidiary currents connected with an
incandescent lamp, Illuminating it with
varied degrees of intensity consonant
with the strength of the current.
These successive illuminations would
give images of corresponding bright
ness to the points in the picture thrown
upon the selenium cell, and the final
picture of course would consist of a
series of these points in various depths
of shade. One can not see what practi-
cal use this invention would be except
as aid to the police departments of the
various cities. .-Demorest Monthly.

Food and Morals.

A father, by prayer and precept,
and Aogging, had done his best to
reform his boy, whose staple diet
was meat and sausage, and pie and
cake at his meals, with lunch be-
tween. The family physician said
to the father, "If you will put a
leech back of each Of your BOYS ears
runce a week Tor a month, you VIII
do more to reform him than your
preaching and pounding will do in
a year. The father asked for the
philosophy Of this prescription.
"Why," said the doctor, ''your boy
has bad blood, and too much of it;
he must behave badly or he would
burst" "Then," said the father,"I'll
change his diet from beef and pie to
hominy and milk" In three months
thereafter, a better boy of his age
could not be found in the neighbor-
hood. The acrid, biting blood had
not become food for leeches, but it
had done its wicked work and pass
ed away, and cooler. blander, pur-
er, safer blood had been supplied
from sweeter, gentler food sources.

TEMPERANCE EDUCATION.

The school Board Unanimously Adopt
the BARNES Series.
The general public in Washington
has probably never taken such an
active interest in the selection of
school textbooks, or any topic, as
that manifested during the past
month concerning the adoption of
those to be used in our schools in
obedience to the recent national tenn
perance education law.
This interest, not confined to the
w. G. I. u. and other temperance
societies, has been shared by our
leading citizens. clergymen, the pa
rents of the pupils who will use the
books, and by many members of
Congress, who were active in secur-
ing the passage Of this act.
The general feeling seemed to be
that books that best meet the spirit
and letter Of the law should be adop-
ted, II in its enforcement it is to have
a fair chance.
These views have been effectively
urged upon the various members Of
the school board, who last night, at
their meeting, carried out the pub
lie wish by unanimously voting the
adoption Of what is known as the
Barnes series, viz: The Child's
Health Primer for primary grades,
Hygiene for Young People for in
teimediate classes, and Hygienic
Physiology for high and normal
schools.
These works are, in the judgment
Of the friends and promoters Of this
legislation throughout the country,

namely, to dispel the popular falla-
