Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of. life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen Of
them Most people would say, if
thay told the truth, thatthere was no
limit tothe mistakes of life; thatthey
were like the drops in the ocean or
the sands on the shore in number,
but it is well to be accurate Here,
then, are fourteen great mistakes
1t is great mistake to set up our.
own standard of right and wrong.
and Judge people accordingly; to.
measure the enjoyment Of others by
our own; to expect uniformity of
opinion in the world; to look for
Judgment and experience in youth;
to endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike; not to yield to simmaterial tri-
.des;; to look for perfection II our own
actions; to worry ourselves and oth=
ers with what cannot be remedied.
not to alleviate all that needs ale
Walton as far as lies in our power;
not to make allowances for the In
frmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot
perform; to believe only what our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand everything
The greatest of mistakes is to live
for time alone, when any moment
may launch us into eternity.

losophers the number seven plays
a most important part in the life of
man, and this is the way they di-
vide a mans years: After the first
seven days an infants eyes can bear
the light; after twice seven days it
seeks the light; in the third seven
days it turns it's head freely. After
seven months it gets teeth; after
the second seven months it sits
without fear of falling; after the
third seven months it begins to
speak; after the fourth seven months
it stands strongly and walks; after
the fifth seventh months it is weaned.
After seven years it loses it's first
teeth. After the second seven years
comes the change from youth to
manhood After the fourth seven
years there is never any increase OF
stature. In the fifth seven years a
man is in his prime of strength.
The sixth seven years they retain
their strength. The seventh seven
years they attain their perfection OF
wisdom and the perfect age of man
But when they come to the tenth
seycn years they reach the turn OF
life.

Nobody complains of the taxes
imposed on tobacco, whisky and
malt liquors. Most people believe
these taxes are in the interest of
good morals and operate for the
good of society. Let them be as
they are, or increase them should
the country ever need larger rev
enue. But In the name of reason
and humanity reduce the tax on
fuel, food and clothing to the lowest
possible point. Don't starve and
freeze the millions of the poor to in
crease the riches of the rich.

form it that the Senate had passed
the Blair, bill, and he was also glad
ito inform it that tho Senate was
Republican. But Gen. Golf took
good care to not allude to the fact
that most statesmanlike Republicans
in the Senate voted against the bill,
namely: Aldrich, Davis, Frye,
Halo, Hawley, Hiscock, Ingalls,,
Jones of Nevada, Plumb, Sabin and
Spooner. Hawley and Ingalls, are
presidential dark horses, and if we
mistake not their. names were greet
ed with applause in the Republican
Convention. Gen Golf also forgot
to tell the convention that of the
thirty mine Senators voting for the
bill, sixteen, we are sorry to say /,
were Democrats-none of them,
however, remarkable for states
manship. In fact the vote on this
unconstitutional measure shows
that the statesmen in the United
States Senate are in tho minority.
also that the decided majority of
that minority are Democrats.
