The illustrations of a magazine form
one of the largest items of the expense Of
its production; the elimination of this
expense would enable the proprietors
either to diminish the price of subscrip-
tons, or to augment the payments to
authors, or both; and either would be a
benefit to literature. Again, under the
present system, a large portion of the
articles are written mainly to serve as a
vehicle for the illustrations; without the
illustrations, they would not be worth
printing; consequently, if there were no
illustrations, the articles would not be
written, and their place would be sup
piled by articles that were worth print
ing-another gain to literature, and a
gain both in quality and space. Indeed,
a well illustrated article is very seldom
read at all. The purchaser of the maya
zine looks at the pictures, and perhaps
examines SO much of the text as may en-
able him to form some idea of what the
picture represents; he says to himself
that he will read the article some other
day, and before that day comes the next
issue of the magazine has appeared, and
the same thing is repeated. Were there
no pictures, there would be an end Of
this.-Julian Hawthorne in Belford's
Magazine.

HARRISON s HOME LIFE.

There appears to be a great deal of ri
yalry among the newspapers of the coun-
try, particularly those of Republican pol
itics, in the way of getting information
about Gen. Harrison's home life. The
indianapolis Sentinel in order to keep
pace with the journalistic order OF the day,
detailed a special reporter to gather some
facts in regard to this most thrilling topic.
Following is the result of his labors:
Gen. Harrison arose at 4 o'clock yester-
day morning. After lighting the fire, as
is his wont, the general went to Linn
bergcr's meat emporium. where he bought
a pound OF bologna sausage. Returning
to his humble residence he assisted Mrs.
Harrison in preparing the matutinal re-
past.
Immediately after breakfast Gen. Har.
rison gave audience to Wung Lum Foo,
the well known laundryman of South
Illinois street. This prominent Celestial
assured the hero of Peach Tree creek of
his cordial support. After the two gen.
tlemen had conversed a while pleasantly
the Mckee infant meanwhile prattling
gleefully in its crib, they sauntered down
town together. On the way the general
stopped to chop a few sticks of wood for q
poor widow who was struggling with
an ak in front of her lonely hut.
The idea that Gen. Harrison is O
wealthy man is entirely erroneous. The
only feature of his cottage is his library,
consisting of the following works, to-wit:
Hostetter's Bitters Almanac, from 1850
to 1888, inclusive; The Thoughts of Con-
fucius illustrated edition.; The Life OF
William Henry Harrison, (paper edition.;
The New Testament, (Amcrican Tract
Society edi.ion); Poems OF Passion by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox; Story of a Baby
Boy, by L. B. Aldrich; Beautiful Snow
and other poems, Anon, and the Beadle
Library, 200 volumes. Gen. Harrison
also has in his catalogue the life of Jesse
james, but it was recently borrowed by
William Henry Harrison Miller, his
eruditl partner. A copy of Henry
Georges Protection or Free Trade" was
lately presented the general by Col. Fish
back, but Mr. Miller suggested that, con-
sidering the free whisky plank of the
platform, he had best get rid of it. The
volume (paper) is said to be in the pos
session of the Rev, NJ. L. Haines. Gen.
Harrison's pastor.

Many a man is saved from the COM
pany of the defled and the defling by
the sweetness and light of a CHEEKY
home. Many n woman, in the possession
of a house which invites the actualiza-
ton of her womanly concepts of the
amenities Of decorative art, finds the
cares of the household no drudgery and
her work lightened and frightened by
the c~heerfulness of her environment.
Human nature is always more or less in
fluenced by environment, and the house
which one builds and lives in has much
to do in shaping his character and dispo-
sition.-Pioneer Press.

Tho ereat Climatic Cycle.

According to the calculations of NJ.
Adolphe d'Assier, based on the assump-
ton that the coincidence of the earth's
%perihelion passage with the summer sol
stice every $1,000 years marks the regu-
lar recurrence of a northern glacial
period, the last glacial period, eliminated
in $3.50 B. c., the alternating period of
greatest northern warmth occurred A. d.
1850, and the ice period now approach
ing will reach its greatest height A. d.
11,750. Evidence OF the slow cooling
during the past 600 years is seen in the
changes recorded in the northern limits
of the growth and ripening Of certain
fruits. -Arkansaw Traveller.

In the splendid Towering time of the
azalia it is interesting to remember the
old story of the Pontic variety. Beneath
the fragrance of these flowers turks a
subtle poison, and it was from them that
the honey was collected by the bees Of
Pontus, which, when eaten by the Greek
soldiers in the famous retreat of the Ten
Thousand, produced extraordinary symp-
toms of poisoning. Xenophon states
that after eating it the men fell stupefed
in all directions, 80 that the camp looked
like a battlefield covered with corpses.-

1t is impossible to convey satisfactory
idea Of the character of the lecture delivered
by the Rev. Lyman last Sunday evening.
The evident study Of and careful research in
to the prophesies Of the Bible command our
high admiration, however much we may be
startled by the bold enunciation Of the con-
ditions claimed by the earnest preacher to
eventuate at Christ's second coming and
when the new earth shall have been created.
The attention and appreciation shown were
exceptional. Both to many who were present
as we'll as others who were unable to be, but
would like to hear it, q repetition Of the lee
ture would be acceptable and as there are to
be no services in the church next Sunday
evening, it i suggested that Mr.. Ly man
preach It again next Sunday morning.

If any phenomenon in nature excite our
fears or cause one to contem plate "the
latter days. now being presented with 50
much force aud earnestness by the Presby.
terian divine in his lectures, we would say
that the electrical display of last Sunday
night was calculated to produce such o re-
suit. Poetic frenzy, imagery or skill
could not not depict the awful grandeur OF
.e.5~. "Far along
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among,
Leapt the live thunder"
The forked flashes of the lurid lightning
were simply terrible to behold, and as they
lit up the earth, it reminded ore of Southey' 8
Curse of Kehama-
Twas light that made
Darkness itself appear thing of comfort.

Pursuant to order the Bottineau boys in

resignation Of George M. Sinclair as second

honors on the third ballot.

Sabbath Observance.

Sabbath Observance" was the subject
discoursed npoa .asi night at the Presbv-
terian Church.
Said the preacher. These times have
more temptations TO Sabbath breakipg
than the times nf our fathers For that
reason we should be more determined in
our purpose 10 keep the day.
The amusements are many, especially
10 the summer. Every device is used 10
induce people to attend, and MANY
church going people are found engaging
in these entertainments. II these could
be induced TO stay away, ii would do
much TO make these amusemcnis nnpopu
lar
The Sunday railroad train is another
hindrance to Sabbath observance. There
may be necessity for Sunday travel 10
some instances but ordinarily. it has a
demoTaliziDg effect upon communities.
The Sunday newspaper is another oh
stacle in the way Of proper observance
OF the Sabbath We need rest from the
accounts OF crime. and other horrible
things that d u the papers duringthe week
But the Sunday edition adds horror TO
horrer, and presents the worst things that
can be found. Such perpetual filling of

The number OF persons employed In
Sunday amusements, on Sunday trains
and Sunday newspapers, must be very

work. become disconnected and reckless,
aud the public good many time suffers
by their neglect and sin.
The testimony Of distinguished men
is favorable TO careful Observance Of
the day. They have shown that course
OF crime has often commenced with Sab
bath breaking. They have shown that
a strictly kept Sabbath in youth general
