NORTHWEST FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 6.-Ihe North

There was quite a drop in the flour out
put last week, but hardly to the extent
that had been expected. Some Of the
larger mills about TO stop were operated a
little stronger than usual, and the fig

total production for the week was
S., 200 barrels-averaged 1852 bar
rels daily-against 19, 400 barrels for
the previous week and 1922 300 barrels
for the corresponding week in 1857. 1t has
remained for the current week to witness

given no notice of any similar advance,

let the opportunity pass without taking
advantage of the advance. Some of the
larger mills are storing here and at pres.

Our Wealthy Men.

Much has been said in newspapers of men
who have made large fortunes in compare
lively few years in various business in
dustries. Many of these articles are written
by correspondents of prominent newspapers
and copied into others of lesser note. Cor
respondents generally are seldom men of
business qualifications and wrongfully pic
ture these men and their business as thing
Of accident. This is not the case with those
we have met. We find that where men
have made large fortunes by their own
business talent and industry they chose
with sagacity and forethought such bust
nesses as would lead to success when
handled with business judgment. No man
has been brought before the public as an
example of success, both in wealth and
magnitude of his business Outside of stock
and railroad mem, more prominently than
DIR. q. q Green of Woodbury., n. j. He is at
the head of many large business industries,
and yet comparatively young man. When
the fact that August Flower for dyspepsia
and liver complaint and Boschees German
Syrup, for coughs and lung troubles, has
grown to a wonderful sale in all parts of the
world, it proves that it was not an accident
or spontaneous strike at wealth. His medi-
cines are recognized as valuable and estab-
lshed remedies and the business has grown
gradually and permanently during the last
eighteen years ON account not alone OF DIR.

Walking by Faith.

1t should not in the least interfere
with our enjoyment that we know so
little of what the future will be. God
does not reveal it even to those who
are serving him the most faithfully.
Certainly it is not necessary for our
spiritual welfare, or God would not
withhold the information from us, for
we are to live by faith in Christ, a
present faith that does not take to-
morrow into account so fully is it con-
cerned about the present. Gods prom
ises are all that we need when we look
beyond the present. And the one
certainty on which we may build is
that Jesus Christ is the same unchang-
ing friend and Savior We shall find
him as ready to help us, as abundant in
resources, not failing in affection nor
putting us to unnecessary tests. Walk
ing by faith seems perilous venture
to those only who have not faith; to
one who knows Christ and his love il
is happiness itself.-Centrdl Christian
Advocate.

A Fight the Police Could Not Stop.

"There is big fight going on there,

man in Fourth avenue on July 4.
Where?" asked the policeman, taking
his club from his belt and striking an
attitude. In that big, round build
ing" answered the boy, pointing to the
" Battle of Gettysburg" The police
man started for the spot, when the boy
shouted, at the top of his voice: g Bet
ter take some one with YOU, there's lots
tated moment, then ran down
Eighteenth street toward Third avenue.
A few minutes later squad of the
" finest" with clubs drawn, presented
themselves at the entrance to the cyclic
rama and asked if the fight had ceased.
"No," replied the boy who collects
the tickets, I" it is going on as fiercely
as ever" Rushing through the mar
row passage and up the stairs, the po-
licemen were met by throng as much
astonished as the officers. The fight
referred to of course occurred only on
the painted canvas. The policemen
looked foolishly at each other till one
asked Colonel Alcum, the lecturer, if
there wasn't back door that they could
get out of unobserved. The boy who
had put up the job " had gathered a
crowd of his companions to witness the
fun. Did you nab 'em? screamed
the boy as the police filed out. The
police made rush for the questioner,
but his speed was too great for the
heavy blue-coats. No one in Fourth
avenue dares now to tell a policeman
about tight.-NeU York Tribune.

Duty the Foundation of Religion.

What, then, is the very foundation
of religion, in the largest sense of the
word, and as distinguished from the va
rious systems in which it has found
more or less adequate expression? |
conceive that foundation to be I'M
questionably the sense of ethical
obligation. Nor is it difficult to see
why this is so. The special at
Politics." is that he is moral being,
enjoying perception of good and evil,
justice and injustice, and the like. 1t
is this, he considers, which marks
man off from the rest of animated ma
ture. For myself. indeed, l can not
deny the rudiments, at least, of the
moral sense to creatures inferior to
man in the scale of being. / believe,
with Professor Huxley, that "even the
highest faculties of feeling and intel
lect begin to terminate in lower forms
of life.n But, however that may be,
certain it is, as Jean Paul Richter writes,
that sin the higher nature of every
fully endowed man there is an instinct of
obligation or sense of esponsibility."
And this instinct or sense is the first
thing about us. Nothing is more
sure to me-" said Plato, than that l
ought to be as good and noble as
l can" Put aside, prescind from, all
theories of life offered us, whether by
religion or by philosophy, and yet this
primary fact remains, that l possess
the power of willing good as good and
the consciousness that | ought to will
it. Life, then, whatever else it is or is
not, is a period of moral probation.
That is the most certain of all our GER
titudes. And upon that foundation
must we build if we would know what
is the object of life, or, as the old
philosophers called it, the " S,,nanl,trn
bonum." Thus, Aristotle holds in his
" Ethics " that the chief good of man
consists in an activity of the soul in ac-
cordance with its excellence-that is,
as he says in another place, with virtue.
Or, to translate his dictum into the
language of an even nobler philosophy,
the end of life is to bring the individual
will into harmony with the universal
will; to follow the dictates of that eter-
nal monitor which says, thou ought
est" Religion accounts that internal
monitor divine. Its essence, as Kant
sums the matter up, lies in the recogni-
ton of our duties as Gods commands
in its proclamation of the absolutely
binding nature of the moral law. This
is what Christianity means when it de-
clares the end of man to be the doing
of Gods will "Oh, my God, l am con-
tent to do it; yea, thy law is within my
heart" are the words put by St. Paul
into the mouth of Jesus Christ, and
they apply, in their degree, to all his
disciples-W. S. lilly, in the Forum for
November.
