Thought from Young Men.

Professor Henry Drummond, whose
Natural Law in the Spiritual World"
made so much stir in the world, is de-
scribed to be '4tall, slim, fair young
man, with trim mustache and a well
fitting frock coat, and resembling an
officer of the guards rather than lee
turer at university" 1t seems to be
surprising to many that he should not be
elderly, specialized, shabby and cranky,
but the reasonable mind will admit that
the present is just the era to expect sound
judgment and profound thought from
young men. In other ages young men
gave their youth to folly exclusively, and
were not in state of health at the age
of 80 to see clearly or moralize effect
lively. Seventy years or SO gave a man
authority as a philosopher, but the
modern system of college athletics keeps
a mans physical health strong while his
mind develops, SO that, unless our col
legians are wilfully vicious, the coming
century should produce a finer set of
minds and bodies than did ancient
Greece. Pittsburg Bulletin.

Brief Chapter ON Relishcs.

The relishes are of two classes. First,
those which depend mainly on one or
more piquant substances, such as pepper,
mustard, ginger, horseradish, vinegar,
cinnamon and the various spices. These
are combined with some one or more
generally with several-of the following
vegetables as base: tomatoes, usually
green; onions, cabbage, cucumbers, pears,
peaches, currants, berries, grapes.
Secondly, those which depend mainly
on sugar, combined with the juices of
various fruits, or with the pulp, as in
the case of marmalade.
Now the question arises, are these and
similar relishes conducive to health?
A normal, vigorous appetite needs no
such aid. 1t is sufficient of itself. The
lower animals need nothing of the kind.
The cows green grass, the horses dry
hay, and the dogs bone with little
meat on it, are doubtless eaten with a
relish that our pampered stomachs know
little of.
Unfortunately, all people have not
high health. Some are in a feeble con-
dition, with little or no appetite, and yet
their recovery depends mainly on the
food they take. In such cases some sim
pie relish is not merely greatly desirable,
it is necessary.
Many persons, in this driving age,
come to their meals with little appetite.
A sensible appetite quickens and increases
the gastric secretions. In such cases,
therefore, some piquant relish is really
helpful. Probably even the strongest is
not injurious, if used with moderation;
but relishes are greatly pernicious if used
to encourage overeating, or to cause one
to eat when the stomach is already ex-
hausted from previous repletion.-

The Recgars of Russia.

An illustration of the results of indis-
criminate charity is furnished by facts
reported from Russia. 1t seems that
whole villages have resolved themselves
into orders of mendicants. They stay at
homo until they have reaped their har-
vests, and then all start out on begging
tour. They are divided Systematically
into guides of ten to twenty persons each.
These scatter here and there, begging
through the towns, and gather at stated
intervals to divide their gains and con-
suit further operations. The women take
along their children to excite pity, and
the old draw attention to their decrepti-
tude. The cash returns are said to be ex-
ceedingly large, and from the bread
gathered they not only feed themselves,
but fatten their horses. In this manner
several months Of each year are spent.
The moral results of this sort of life are,
Of course, lamentable. Every trace of
self respect goes, and degeneracy of
sentiment is created that obliterates char
acter, ambition and honor. This is true
of all mendicancy, under all circum-
stances. -Globe-Democrat.

Saving Thousands of Years.

1t is interesting to try and figure the
actual extent of the advantages reaped
from modern mprovements-ad advantages
which some people are bold enough to
call in question. Does rapid transit, for
instance, really save any great amount
of valuable time?
Take a city like New York, where
there are perhaps $50, 900 people who go
each day to and from their work. Re-
membering the distances Travelled by
some, it will surely be within limits to
suppose that five minutes, on the average,
is saved ON each journey by the various
means of rapid transit Of which most
avail themselves. This would make an
hour on the twelve weekly Journeys,
and fifty-two hours, or say five working
days, in year.
For $50, 900 people this means yearly
saving of 1880, 900 working days, or,
reckoning 800 working days to the year.

A Chang, IN Facial rrpe.

Frederick Barnard, the illustrator, sur
prised me little the other day when he
said: "You Americans are not a bit like
the English in your appearance. In the
course OF century or so you've changed
from the English type altogether. The
voices OF your women have grown loud
and shrill and the men have got darker
faces and keener eyes. I've got so now
that can tell the New Yorker pretty well
by his eyes wherever find him. They
are sharp eyes and are set near together.
as though their owner had brought them
close to his nose by poking that organ
into very narrow places where it was
necessary to see at the same time. You
look like a lot of ferrets. Then the eve
brows, instead of going right straight
across the face, slope downward at the
outer edge and come rather close together
above the nose. That not only makes
you look shrewd, but it makes you look
bored and tired and dragged out, as
suspect most of you are. A great many
of you look like actors. Boston people
look somewhat different from New York
ers, as they ought to, for they live in a
more Christian town than this. Your
eternal jumping and rushing in this CITY
make me tired, as the boys say"
This change in facial type must have
struck all who have studied old portraits
and given any thought to the matter.
The revolutionary fathers were not the
haggard, lean featured men who tear up
and down Wall street and Broadway ::
they had stability of person, large clear
eyes and rosy jowls, looked as if they ate
and slept enough and had not invented
malaria. They had that calm of good
health and ostrich digestion that makes
the English admirable to the eyes of the
pining dude, who, although he can't quite
initiate their appearance, can wear their
quizzing glasses, pot hats and checks. AS
modes of life change there is no doubt
that people make some facial conformity
to them.-Brooklyn Eagle.

How to Learn a Language.

The Volapuk craze seems to have run
its course and died, and everybody has
made up his mind that we have not yet
got the world language. If people only
knew how easy it is to learn French or
German or Italian there would be less of
these foolish attempts to force an I'M
known tongue upon the world. To get
along as we'll as there is any necessity in
a foreign country you do not need more
than 1000 or 1900 words. Think
how easy it is to get these words in
your memory. That means less than
the number of words in an average
newspaper column, and it is really the
fact that you can get enough of French,
say, to get along with as easily as you
can lnemorize a column in xae daily
newspaper. 1t is SO with German and
with Italian. You get the grammatical
construction and then all you have to do
is to make yourself vocabulary.
The trouble is that people imagine
learning a strange tongue is SO hard that
they will not attempt it in a common
sense way, but they shrink from the diff
ficulties which only exist in their own
imaglnatlons. Cardlnal MezZoIautl
could take a grammar and dictionary
of strange language and hear confess
sion from it in three days. l hold that
the average man can do partly as well
as that, anyhow, if he applies himself in
the right way. There is no reason why
every educated man should not be equip
ned with at least three modern Ian
guages, and six months of his spare time
of the hours wasted on novels and
trifes-would do the work.-C. II. De
Ligne in Chicago News.

A Land of Cigarettes.

have not yet seen a single cigar ex-
cept my own. All smoke cigarettes.
The result is, am forced when talking
to any one to avoid his breath as much as
possible. The smoke from the cigarette
is inhaled and makes the lungs fetid and
must injure health. May not this to
some extent increase the dread disease
consumption, which am told is rather
common in this land? At the hotels
meals are served in the rooms with no
addition to the cost, and judging from
the tea trays being carried along the
corridors of this hotel would think that
all of its large population take their
morning meals and late suppers in the
private rooms. Indeed, the manager, to
whom 1 complained that I could not
find anything ready in the restaurant
until nearly o, informed me he would
rather I would take the early meal in
my room, and that it could be had as
early as 7. The people here are very
late risers. Twilight lasts till nearly 10.
The people retire very late and shops are
all closed till after 0 in the morning.
To nibble at something seems to be a
human characteristic; every country has
its particular nibble. In America the boys
eat peanuts and the girls chew gum. In
Japan they eat small seed, now forget
what In China and India they chew
sugarcane. In Siam, Burmah and
southern India and Ceylon, betel nuts.
In Egypt and Turkey, pumpkin seeds.
In Greece, watermelon seeds. Here
every one cracks sunhower seed. In the
street cars, at the gardens, and along the
streets people are seen eating this seed,
and at every corner women and boys are
selling them.-Carter Harrison's Moscow

This Fall my business had Increased
so much, that decided to make a des-
perate effort to run my sales up to
$780, 100000. To do this purchased
for spot cash $4,000 worth Of clothing
and furnishing goods, the sale Of which
added to my regular run Of business,
would bring abOut the coveted result.
But Providence Doesn't always dis.
pose as man man proposes, and the pro-
lOnged season OF rainy weather has
destroyed all calculation and left me
barely holding my own regular trade,
while the $4,000 stock is comparative
ly untouched. The wet weather has ef-
fectually spoiled anything like boom,
and but one course remains open, viz:
to sell the goods for what they will
bring, and stop the depreciatit n on
the goods which Is inevitable from
carrying over from season TO season.
The goods will be sold for what they
will bring, and that means a rapid
closing out, for at prices offered no one
can afford tO.spend dollar elsewhere
