The Age of Speculation.

This is an ageof speculation. Thou
sands crowd around the stock-ticker
every day; thousands more watch the
grain gambling; all the pool rooms
are filed with men and youths whose
faces show how often the right horses
do not win. All the lotteries, all the
policy shops, all the gambling dens
have their victims, and the supply Is
undiminishingly large. The poor
sheep are sheared, and are sent, nov.
erty-strieken, to do the best they can.
but other sheep come tumbling into
the pitfalls, and the gamblers roll up
their bank accounts and drive their
fast horses, and wonder why ANYBODY
complains of hard times. The mania
OF speculation is ruinous to correct
business methods. 1t unsettles a
man, makes him inconsistent and va
ctltatlng, Injuries his usefulness as a
straightforward worker and DESTROYS
ms steady principles and honest bur.
poses. Young men starting out in
lie should avoid it as they would a
curse.-Baltimore American.

Do locomotives Cause storms.

A correspondent of the Northwest

theory for the increasing prevalence
of floods and transforms. He SAYS
that there are over 10000 locomo-
tives in use in North America. and
estimates thatfrom them alone over
$1,000, DOC, 600 cubic yards of vapor
are sent into the atmosphere every
week, to be returned in the form of
rain, or over 1000, 900, 900 cubic
yards a day-"quite enough" he
says, ito produce n good rainfall
every "a hours"
Estimating the number of other
non-condensing engines in use as
eight times the number of locomo-
tives, the total vapor thus projected
into the air every week in this coun-
try amounts TO more than 40 OO,-
900 1000 cubic yards. rs this not

All the heavy work of the world Is
not done by men who eat meat. The
Roman soldiers, who built such won
derful roads and carried a weight Of
armor and luggage that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on
coarse brown bread and sour wine.
They were temperate in diet, regular
in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the
