How to be a Gentleman.

Money will hny a great many
things, but it will not buy what
makes a gentleman. If you
have money yon can go to a
store and buy clothes. But hat,
coat and boots do not make Il
gentleman. They make a fop,
and sometimes come nearer
making a fool. Money will buy
dogs and horses, but how many
dogs and horses do you think it
will take to make u gentleman I?
Let no boy therefore think he is
to be made a gentleman by the
clothes he wears, the horses he
rides, the stick he carries, the
dog that trots after him, the
house he lives in, or the money
he spends. Not one of all those
things do it, and yet every boy
may be IA gentleman. But how?
By being true, manly and honor
able; keeping himself neat and
respectable; by being civil and
courteous by doing the Jest he
knows how. And finally above
all, by fearing God and keeping
his commandments.-Ex.

Wages.

1t is q fact that the labor in protect
ed Industries Is less remuueratively paid
than in the unprotected.
Yet when for statistical purposes the
wages of a concern are tabulated, sal
aries from manager to office boy are
computed and averaged.
Here then are SOME Of the salaries
that help TO swell the statisca; aver
age of"labor" wages in protected in
dustries:
Some interesting figures in regard to
salaries have been elicted in IA suit now
in progress in Brooklyn against bak-
ing powder company. 1t WIS shown
that the president ofthe company draws
a salary Of $50, 900 a year, the vice-pres-
ident $50, 900 and the treasurer $4,000,
The president of a paint and varnish
company, who was introduced as an ex-
pert in regard to salaries, stated that
the superintendent of his company re-
ceived $50, 900 year, while the yearly
business did not exceed S3,OOOOO0.
Another witness stated that i'll compan-
les with which he was acquainted the
chief executive officers received from
So, 600 to S50,000 year, while repre-
sentative of a,kerosene oil company said
that he knew one officer of large cor
poration who received Il salary of $50
900 a year, and two Others who received
500, 600 each. These figures are enor-
nous aud were unknown until the days
of trusts and combinations. The expla-
nation is furnished in the testimony Of
one of the witnesses, who said that the
business of the company with which he
is connected had been increased until
the profits had reached 450 per cent on
original capital stock,
Now what fairness is there in statis-
ties that give to their mohopolistic sal

The Akron Beacon tells tbs follow
ing story: Recently one of Akron's
scientific and professional men observ-
ed a group of intensely interested boys
gathered about some object. Drawing
near he discovered that they were feast
ing large fat toad. They had already
given him a hearty meal of various
kinds of bugs and insects, which his
toadship gravely seized upon and swal-
lowed, and they were now serving his
desert in the shape of potato bugs. The
professor stood saw that toad swallow
forty-twO of those bugs. But the ca
pacity of even toad has Its limits.
The forty-third bug stuck in his throat.
He was full. Then the real genius of
animal asserted itself. He settled back
on his launches, threw back his head,
put one of his fore feet to his throat and
calmly rubbed that bug down into his
stOmach.u

And through the cloud some horsemen dashet

And Chicamauga's solitudes,

Like that infer nal flame that fringed
The British squares ut Waterloo!

thousand died where Garnett bled;
In binding fame and strangling smoke

But who shall break the guards that wait
Before the awful face of fate?
The tattered standards o the South
Were shriveled at the cannsn's mouth,
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayonet!
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,

Till all the hill was red and wet!

Men saw gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry Of nation lost

They leaped to Ruins red embrace.
They only heard Fame's thunder wake,
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face.
They fell. who lifted up a hand
And bade the sun in heaven stand!
They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of the Motherand!
They stood, who saw the future come
On through the flights delirium!
They smote and stood, who held the hope
OF nations on the slippery slope
Amid the cheers of Christendom!
