Humanity In the Rough.

There is n cripple in Chicago who IL
pretty well known to the business man.
He is Il newsboy, and his stand during the
early part OF the day is on the corner of
Madison and Dearborn streeta; later he
moves up TO the the Illinois National
Bank Building, just north OF Madison and
Dearborn. He sits in a wheel chair, and IL
any one wants 20 see what good stuff the
average Chicago wati Is made of he wants
TO keep his eye gu this boy while Every
one must have noticed how newsbOys will
rush for patron; how each will try TO
sell his paper 60 the exclusion OF the other
boys. But try this boy once. II there be
a dozen others around not one will try to
interfere with his sale. Moreover they
help him; they wheel him around. One
OF them wheels him down in the morning
and wheels him back at uight. There is
hardly a newsboy in Chicago who will not
put himself TO thegreatest Inconvenience
20 make this boys misfortune the lighter.
And the boy himsolfwhy he ie the jolli
est, cheeriest boy in the city; his taoo is q
whole lesson in contentment; ho always
has bright smile aud pleasant word
for every one Watch him ~ you pass
him on tho street; no matter who you are,

seem brighter and better TO you.
And some Sunday when you have moth
ing better 90 do drop down 20 the Waits
Mission and see him there. You will find
crowd of rough, rushing, pudhing boys,
but you will hud no one pushing him. He
rides Mt tho head Of the column, aud the
boys keep 20 the pace he sets without
murmur. Behind him il struggling,
cro.diDg mass bat IL never reaches him.
Should any one attempt 10 hurry him
with push II is probable that every other
boy in the room woud pet on the miaore
ant and pOmme him black and blue.
Truly, the newsbogs OF Chicago in their
treatment of this boy. teach q lesson in
consideration and kindness that many
would do we'll to profit by. They are
waits, ignorant and uneduoated; but how
does the treatment OF this cripple com
pare with the treatment that would be
accorded him at almost any school in
Chic lgoy The writer recalls case on
the North Side in this great City OF
Chicago where boy was driven insane by
the jeers and Ribts and oriminally rough
treatment of bis schoolmates, Boys will
be boys and these boys did not mean
anything wrong, but had they taken few
lessons in Kindness from tho uewsboys
aud waits Of Chicago the thing never
would have happened. The newsboys can
swear most artistically and he Is up 10 all
kinds Of tricks, but there is many a lordly
church member who does not begin TO be
az kind, IA considerate, and as gentle with
the afflicted rs does the average Chicago
waif Watch them and see.

REPUBLICAN VIEWS.
Well Considered Topics Cleaned from
Leading Journals.

chicago Mail
The Democratic party learns nothing.
Il is rook-rihbed ever In its conviction
that when it has met IN convention and
howled over a candidate that candidate
is gong TO be elected. In Illinois 1t ex-
poets 20 make Palmer governor. Nation
ally, il expects TO make Cleveland prosi-
dent again. bs faith is Brobdinpuagpien
and it's reasoning Is that of Zulu. IL is
AS bourbonish as in the DAYS efter war,
when II went into campaignswith the
same blind confidence that il did four
years ago, when the law OF political
change gave 1t at last temporary as
cendancy. Give 10 any sort Of fetch and
it will have faith.
In Illinois the democratic party has
about as much chance of victory az the
mass of its members have for salvation.
This Is a republican state. There are as
yet too few thousands of voters in city
slums here, too many school houses, too
many men who can think, for it to be
otherwise. 1t will give next fall its usual
republican majority. We're there some
siee issue involved the situation might be
changed, locally, but such issue does not
exist. 1t is square party fight which
will be on, and if there has been a change
since the last state election the republi
cans are the gamers. There arc great
many Disguised democrats in Illinois.
As regards the presidential election,
concerning which the democrats are now
so confident, they simply do not reason.
Cleveland WIS elected by the narrowest
plurality IN a single state. He was
elected because a certain class OF captious
republicans chose to vote for him IA
against Mr.. Blaine, who had incurred
their luminosity. They cid not desert
their party pertineLtly, and still march
beneath it's banners, though always in the
rear. They will support republican
candidate. They have not found what
they foolishly hoped for in the Clevelant
administration. They have seen parts
ans thrust into the places of public ser
wants against whom no complaint was
made; they have seen the promised civil
service reform made but moekery; they
they have seen ill.advised appointments
and Chicago can afford several ex.
amples Of this olassre in the de.
moralization of the public service; they
have, in short, seen the spells system
carried out in every state. IL there are
hungry democrats anywhere now it rs be-
cause there are more democrats than Of
fees.
The republicans who opposed Blaine
recognize their blunder in anticipating
even degree of reform from the demo
cratic party. They realize that if abuses
have grow up the party of intelligence
and OF progress is the only one to Ger
rect them and thpv ara rpndv Ia net
There are far more than enough of them
TO carry New York and give the republi
cans the victory in November.
Democracy may eat, drink, and be mer
ry, for tomorrow IL dies.

Carrots as a Farm Crop.
GeT~.antoWn Telegraph.

It is always believed to be good econ.
omy to produce upon the farm, so far "a
possible, those crops that may be em.
ployed as food TO farm animals. And
while q sufficient amount may be secured
of the kind known as dry fodder, or of
ems ilage, It is a question If it Is not de-
sirable TO secure variety ami such
changes as would be relished by animals,
It is claimed that ensilage supplies all
the succulent food necessary in winter
feeding, and that it can be secured at
much less cost than TO grow root crops.
Perhaps this may be true, and this meth
cd of food production il open TO those
who prefer IL; but there are those who
have not yet given way 10 the enthusi-
asm OF the ensilage advocates, and TO
such we can recommend the carrot as a
profitable and excellent crop 20 grow for
feeding purposes. 1t can be grown upon
any good mellow loamy soil, but requires
liberal feeding, its cultivation should not
be tempted In 8 soil that is excessively
weedy or the labor at first will be so
great as to become discoursging, as they
must be kept clean in order to insure
even average success. The carrot is,
however, when fairly rooted, q rapid and
vigorous grower, and Its spreading foil
age greatly assist keeping down any
growth of,weeds. Several hundred bushels
may be grown upon an acre. They
should be harvested before they are in
jured by frosts and pu in a root cellar
that is secure from freezing. With ~dry

Alcohol in Nature,



Among the curious side issues 81 the
current temperance discussion is the
question whether alcohol is natural
product. This is, / believe, vigorously
denied IN some quarters. Alcohol, like
bread, ia manufactured artiticially from
natural product. In each case feimen-
iation, natural process, is made use OF.
But while bread Is known only as pro
duet Of manufacture, alcohol appears to
be very widely distributed in nature,
though in extremely minute quantities.
Nor is this at all surprising. Ii grapes
or apples, or their juice, be exposed TO
the air, lamentations sets in and the
sugar and other carbohydrates are chang

the change are aAoat in the air all about,
aud might not uunaturally attack similar
compounds in other vegetable substances.
Prof. Muntz of the National Agronomic
institute in Paris has, by refined chemical
tests, discovered evidences OF alcohol in
cultivated soils, in rain water in sea and
river water, and in the atmosphere. He
finds that vegetable molds may contain
considerable quantities, and IL appears
probable that alcohol Originates in the
soil, from the fermentation of the organic
matters in il, and thence diffused "a
vapor Ia the atmospheric
Another side Issue OF our emperanoo
discussion Is the so called "Bible wine"
theory, which maintains that the vine

find evidence that the com position of
the grape, the laws of fermentation, or
the practice IN making aud using of wine,

that country at other times; and believe
% safe to say that the theory that b ible

the opinion of the student of science.
OF the inexpressibly banefnl effects of
alcohol, that have made it's excessive use
