MATERIAL FOR GUN METAL.-An old
man, bent with the weight of some 70 or
80 years, shuffled into the store of Sew
enth avenue gunsmith the other day and
deposited q small canvas bag on the coun-
ter. The gunsmith opened it, emptied q
lot of horseshoe nails which it contained
into pair of scales, and after weighing
them passed some pieces Of silver over to
the old fellow. The white head bowed
curtly, took up his bag again and disap-
peared through the half open door as
quietly as he came.
The gunsmith said that he had been
buying nails from the old man in the same
way for some two or three years. The
man picked them up in the street just as
the italian population gather cigar butts,
only nails are even more easily found than
cigars, and the competition is at a min
imum.
II buy the nails" said the manufacture
er of firearms, "because they are made OF
metal that is best suited for the construc-
ton of gun barrels, and because in buying
them as I do I get at cheap price some
rather expensive material. Every morn
ing before sunrise my old fellow hurries
over to Gansevoort market, from thence
to Washington market, and afterward to
other places where the country produce
wagons congregate at early daybreak.
There is sure to be number of cast shoes
lying about, and quite quantity Of nails.
These he picks up in short order. Then
after he has had breakfast I fancy that he
goes to certain blacksmith shops whose
proprietors allow him to take away what
old nails he can find on the floor. He
probably is not enabled to make a living
at this business alone, for he only brings
me from fifty cents to 81 worth of nails a
week. I fancy that he has other sources
of income, but he can nevertheless pay
the rent of some cheap garret with what +
give him each week.-Neao York Ere,aing

Bag There is profound meaning in the
word "amusement"- more than
most people are disposed to admit. In
fact, amusement is an important part OF
education. It's a mistake to suppose that
the boy or the man who plays at some out
door game is wasting his time. Amuse-
ment of any kind is not wasting time, but
economiZing life.

The CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRI-
GADE Nor So REMARKABLE AFTER ALL.
In paper in the Century for May, after
citing some of the most severe regimental
losses in the Civil War, Col. w. F. Fox
says:
1.-THE extent of these losses will be bet
ter understood if compared with some of
the extraordinary cases cited in the his
tories of other wars. Take, for instance,
! the charge of the Light Brigade at Balak
lava-the charge of the Six Hundred.
Lord Cardigan took 673 officers and men
into action they lost 113 killed and 1874
wounded; total, 247, or 36.7 per cent. The
heaviest loss in the late Franco -Prussian
German Infantry I'D Westphalian) y which
lost 40 per cent. But the 141st Pennsyl-
vania lost 76 per cent. at Gettysburg,
while regimental losses of 60 per cent.
were frequent occurrences in both Union
and Confederate armies. In the war for
the Union there were scores of regiments,
unknown or forgotten in history, whose
percentage of killed and wounded in GER
tain actions would far exceed that of the
much praised Light Brigade and nobody
blundered either"
BGr The Methodist General Convention
at New York have decided that women
are not entitled to representation in that
body. It would be just like some men
that we know of if the women should
secede and set up an independent estab-
lishment of their own. But women, as
rule, are Christians and not politicians.
The chances are that they will stick to the
Church in spite of the Convention, and
after while, perhaps, they will "get their
rights" without unseemly Wrangling or
exhibiting an unchristian bitterness of

A SKEPTIC'S TEST.


A short time since an aged man related
to me his own history, which l give as
can recollect in his own words:
II did not believe in the Bible, or in the
reality of religion at all. I considered
what was called Christian experience as
delusion, the effect of excitement upon
the imagination-and Christians as sci
of fanatics. I had studied skeptical wri.
ters, and was confirmed in my belief that
death is an eternal sleep-that there is no
Heaven-no hell.
"And yet al times as the years sped on,
an occasional doubt would arise. The
question would force itself upon me, what
if these things prove true? Then what
will become of ME?
After suffering long from these annoy
ing doubts and suggestions. I at last re-
solved to try method which enabled me
to myself, II will secretly try the very
methods these Christians propose. They
recommend prayer and Bible reading.
will test it; if do not find it true, my
mind shall never again be disturbed by a
doubt Accordingly, I secured a day Of
solitude, a Sabbath when all the members
of the family were absent at church.
knelt and prayed:
80 Lord, if Thou dost exist, hear me.
If there is a Heaven to gain and hell to
shun, show it to me. l have never be-
lieved it, and if all these things are true,
and the Bible is true, reveal it to me and
enlighten me-"
"Then searched the Bible. Commenc-
ing with the New Testament, read con-
tinuously chapter after chapter, with in
terest and absorbed attention, ever and
anon asking God to show me the truth:
The more 1 read the stronger my interest
grew, and deeper and deeper the astound-
ing conviction fastened on me, that all
this was true!' Il have lived all my life

dwelt on the creation-the fall-the COM
ing of Christ. Deeper and deeper grew
the conviction Of my guilt; my anxiety
became intense and did not conceal it.
Throughout every day of the week, l
spent my time in searching the WORD OF
God and in prayer, sometimes spending
the whole day alone in wood beseech-
ing God to have mercy on my soul.
"At last on Sunday morning, just q
week from the day set apart to see il
these things were true,' while was rid
ing to church, Christ revealed Himself to
me as Saviour-my justification. The
way of salvation seemed clear and plain,
and 1 inwardly exclaimed, I know that
my Redeemer liveth.' My soul was filled
with unspeakable joy. had in truth and
reality religion, and soon commenced
to tell others what wondrous Saviour l
had found"
The trasforming power of the religion
of Jesus was so marked in the character
and life of this man that no one who
knew him could doubtits genuineness. For
thirty years he has been a pillar in the
church of which he is member, and to
the end of his three score years and ten
he continues to testify to the realities Of
the religion which he has thus tested.

CHOOSING COMPANIONS story Of
poor dog Tray has many illustrations
among higher beings. Though good
dog and having many friends, Tray loved
bad company; his evil companions led
him astray until he lost his friends, good
name and at last his life. Bad company
ruined him. Like Tray, many a young
person led away by evil companions, until
friends, good name, health and every
thing else worth keeping are lost. It is
impossible to be among evil associates
without being injured by them. A black
coal may not burn, but it will blacken if
YOU only touch it. If the black be not felt
it is seen, and too often others see it be-
fore we do ourselves. Thus will evil COM
pany leave its stain upon US. Though we
may not notice, others will and they will
remember, too.
The world judges us by the company we
keep. 1t judges all by the worst of the
company. Nor is this so far from wrong.
There is more probability of our becoming
bad than of the worst becoming good. A
man owned swearing parrot, and, to re-
form him, kept him in the company of
another that never used bad language. 1t
was not long before both parrots became
very profane. Vice works more quickly
than virtue, and sticks more closely.
The world not only judges us by the
company we keep, but is ready to treat us
as the worst of our companions deserve.
Success or failure in life depends very
much on the company one keeps.

WOMAN AND RELIGION. -Womaa is
tender, trusting being in all the various
scenes of life, but the most beautiful trait
in her character is her ready belief in the
religion of the Bible. She listens to the
story of salvation with an intense inter-
est and implicitly accepts it's condition
with sublime confidence. It would be
hard to conceive of more touching scene
than that of beautiful innocent woman
weeping over her sins (that poor frail hu-
manity could only believe to be imagina-
ry) while under conviction. Let man
be ever so skeptical, this sight always
commands his utmost respect, if he is a
true man.
Man seeks to go into the unfathomed
mysteries of religion. Woman accepts it
with a pure heart. Man tries to reason
out the deep secrets of Creation. Woman
cares not for these things, but only asks
for the commands of her creator. This
may be blind confidence, but it bears de-
licious fruit. 1t gives to religion a sweet
purity and enshrines the sacred service
with halo of glory. Woman being the
central figure in mans affection, she is the
only being that could give to the church
such sanctity.
Religion is crown that gives to wo-
man her greatest charm. It makes her
more tender, true and beautiful in the
eyes of every pure man. She is the CEN
tral figure, around which all of the glori-
Gus tenets of christianity must ever cluster.

and so destroy their health. Youth and
health place the individual in sort of in
toxication. The healthy young man is
full of life, energy, ambition, hope, enthu-
siasm. He thinks he can do anything
with his vigorous constitution, and he gem
orally does about everything with it. He
finds that night of sound sleep recuper-
ates him, and he imagines that this will
always be the case. Instead of husband
ing his forces, he wastes them. He is as
extravagant with his health as another
man may be with his money. He is liv-
ing on his capital, and not on the returns
from his investments. .'1tT'
Men and women ought not to die as
young as they do. Our science has taught
US that the lower animals attain to num-
ber OF years five times as great as the
number of years that bring them to matu-
rity, barring, of course, accident and dis
ease. Man reaches maturity at the age of
25. Five times 25-125. The natural life
of man ought to be 1875 years, according TO
physiological laws. OF course, he must
live in climate that does not offer too
great resistance.--Physician in Boston

At the conclusion of the 3 p. m. SER

sided at the organ, commenced a
wedding March, when the bride and
groom appeared at the door and
were preceded to the altar by two
little girls who were beautifully
dressed in white, bearing boquets of
flowers. At the altar they stood
under a bell of flowers. In a few
moments they were pronounced us-
band and wife, when they received
congratulations from many friends
present.
The bride has been engaged in
teaching for several years. She is
young, beautiful and talented and
will doubtless do her part wellsin

A YEARS BUSINESS.

In country like this, where the
elements of business success or
failure are so varied, we all delight
to honor and know the indiySd-
ual or corporation that by a
thorough knowledge and careful
estimation of these elements, have
been able to select that which Is
useful and legitimate and reject
the opposite. 1t is THE TRIBUNE's
happy pleasure to present to its
readers this morning the successful
workings of one the young but
strong business institutions of
Caldwell.
On May IA, 1887, or a little over
one year ago, the Stock Growers q
Traders Bank of Caldwell, Idaho,
opened it's doors for the transaction
of business.
Although the necessity of a bank
ing house in Caldwell had been
recognized for some time, the success
Of such an institution was by no
means assured, and it remained for
the careful and conservative man.
agement of the Stock Growers q
Traders Bank to test the matter;
how they have succeeded may best
be told when it is said that now,
after one years existence, they find
themselves permanently and COM
fortably situated in one of the finest
business buildings in the Territory,
supplied with all the fixtures that
are necessary to make a first-class
bank; a business record that will
compare with any bank in idaho,
and which any institution, no mat
ter how long established, would
well have occasion to feel proud.
The project took we'll at the
start, and why should it not, when
when it was known that the SUBJ
scribers to its $50, 900 capital stock
were none other than Howard
Sebree, B. F. White and CHS. Scott?
A triumyirate of honesty, integrity,
and business ability, personally re-
sponsible for over 100000.
Locally, the bank has done a
splendid business from IT'S first in
ception, and its support from abroad
has steadily increased until now it
is the recognized depository of
large scope Of country including
Western Idaho and Eastern Ore
gon--in fact has realized what the
name implies-a stock growers and
traders bank.
Mr.. G. S. Scott, as cashie of this
institution, has attended to the de-
tails of that trying position in a
manner creditable to himself and
to the satisfaction of the manage
ment and the public, and a contin-
uance of the faithful and conserva-
tive service which has marked all
transactions in the past is assured
for the future.
