TRUE AS PREACHING,

A youth brought upon novels has
an over-heated Imagination and no
common sense. To walk up these
steps of marble palaces and come
in contact with heroes and heroines
Of phenomena virtues and vices is
apt to unfit a boy for splitting wood
for the kitchen stoves or doing about
the house.
After spending an evening in
consuming dime novel and breath
lessly following the fortunes of wo-
men and sainted faces and men with
overgrown mustaches, every day life
seems bit insipid and it becomes
hard to crawl out of bed at FIVE
o'clock in the morning with the
mercury at zero, and go to the Office
and sweep the floor at two dollars
and half week.
What our boys need is less spice
and more corned beef. Good solid
reading that makes them feel that
that they are in glory when they
are furnishing the brass on the
shop door, because it is the first
step in the upward climb, is what
they ought to have. A single book
that makes drudgery delightful be-
cause it is beginning, is better
than thousand which infame the
fancy and render real life tasteless.
The dime novel is the DEVILS right
bower when he is playing for a
boys head and heart.-New York

THE SHIRK.

The essential nature of every
shirk masculine, feminine, domestic,
social or civil, is selfish. The shirk
thinks only of himself, his own case,
his own comfort, his own indul-
gence, and this regard so fills his
whole horizon that he connot pre-
ceive any one in the world who
should be consulted, INDUCED and
favored in preference to himself.
To tear this veil of selGshness from
the eyes of the shirk is a task SO
difficult that it is often easier to do
his work for him than to make him
do it for himself.
But the willing worker should
not be imposed on simply because
he is willing. II any man will not
work, neither shall he eat, is a pre-
cept Of divine authority. The sick,
the crippled, the helpless should be
cared for, but those who deliberate
ly shirk the work they are we'll
able to perform will be benefited
by being compelled to do it, or
suffer from its being left undone.
The mother who permits her
daughters to array themselves in
fine clothes and sit in the parlor at
fancy work, while she drudges in
the kitchen, does them no less than
herself an irreparable injury, and
the daughters who permits them
selves such indulgences are incapa-
BILE of making good wives and
mothers.
Life is full of burdens to be
bourne, of drudgery to be done, of
laborious tasks to be accomplished,
and the earlier in life one begins to
apply himself or herself to the tasks
to be done, the sooner does life be-
come easy, does toll become pleas
ure, does achievement become its
own exceeding great regard. True

ENGLISH capital finds the United
States most attractive field just
now. The largest steel works in
Cleveland, Ohio, have just passed
into the hands of an English syndi-
cate, s4,500,00O being the price
paid. Millions of English money
has recently gone into business in
this country, and there are millions
more looking for similar investment.
An English syndicate is now fgur-
ing to get control of the -four mills
in Minneapolis, st. Louis and
Rochester, the three great -four
centers on the continent. English
money is capturing American rail-
way securities at rate never
known before, and having already
purchased millions of acres of the
best lands in the United States is
eager for more.

TYPHOID FEVER EASY TO PRE-.
VENT.

Nothing" says DR.. Edison, of
the New York Health Department,
in recent article, sis more dis
creditable to the civilization of the
nineteenth century than the exis-
tence OF typhoid fever" 1t is dis
creditable, he maintains, because
cot all diseases it is the most easily
preventable." Scientists have
isolated the germ and taught it's
characteristics, yet their teachings
as to modes of prevention are utter
ly lost upon the larger portion Of
the public. Typhoid fever is rarely
due to any other cause than polluted
water, milk or meat Polluted wa
ter is responsible for the most cases
of the disease, and we'll water in the
country; as well as in town, cities
and villages, is commonly polluted.
at is safe to say" according to DR..
Edison, "that there is not well in
the country the water of which is
safe to drink. Most of the cases Of
typhoid occurring in the city in the
fall are caused by water drunk from
wells during the summer outing
The fact that the water of these
wells is nice and sweet-tastine
counts for nothing. The brighter
it looks the greater the probability
that it is a "whited sepulchre." The
wells being sunk near the houses
in the vicinity of cess pools, they
draw their supply of water from
contaminated earth. The germs Of
typhoid thus enter the wells and
render them reservoirs of poison,
however pellucid and charming their
contents may appear to the thirsty
seeker after health. During the
last year," says the Doctor, II have
visited twenty towns supplied with
water from dug or driven wells; in
every instance the supply was pol
luted, and in most cases its pollution
was the cause of the prevalence Of
typhoid fever" The bacillus typh-
osus, to which the disease is due,
is contained in the spittle of typhoid
fever patients. 1t is easily destroy
ed by such disinfectants as corrosive
sublime and carbolic acid. Ice Of
ten disseminates the disease. Though
boiling water is fatal to it, cold does
not hurt the germ to which the fe-
yer is due, even if a temperature
twenty-five degrees below zero is
/ reached. DR.. Fordyce Barker re.
Gently demonstrated that twenty.
two cases Of typhoid fever developed
at popular water place were du,
q to the use Of ice taken from lake
a near by. The ice had been Cut
from point near the entrance of
sewer. Only those who used thi
ice had the disease, and when tn,
use of this ice was discontinued tn,
epidemic ceased. Milk is sometime
, the, carrier of typhoid germs. Ii
e such cases it is contaminated by tn,
water with which the milk cans ar,
washed, or it gets the germs through
the digestive system of the COW
In almost every case, it seems satt
to say, the disease germ is derived
ultimately from water contaminated
e by drainage from cess pools.

Faces.

Some faces are supremely fair,
Some sparkling In their splendor,
Some arc demure and debonair,
And somo divinely tendor,
Some win us with ono fatal glance,
From eyes too brightly beaming;
Some smile tho smile that brings trance,
TIL life is lost in dreaming.
Some fit before us, sweet and gay,
To fill our hoarts with laughter;
Then fade, as fancies fade away,
And leave no changes after.
And somo-some faces kissed,
Where holiest thoughts are thronging-
Como back. como always In tho mist
OF everlasting longing.
So faces come and faces 60:
Some make existence sweeter,
And some, they make life sad, we know,
Yet, being sad, completer.

Canada and Annexation.

General Ben1Rmln 4. butler mas
again become the center Of consider
able public comment, but this time
not in other than complimentary
manner. He has just furnished the
country much food for thought, and
not little matter for surprise, in the
admirable Grafton which he delivered
before the Alumni of Colby university
on Canada and the questions sug-
gested by the talk OF annexation.
The address is replete with some
valuable statistical information, Which
though not new, is not enerally known.
For instance, Americans do not stop
to reflect that Canada has 100000
square miles more territory than the
United States, excluding Alaska, and
that she is the richest country in the
world in timber, iron, coal and cop
per. She has q cold climate, it is
true, but not colder than that of some
of our Northwestern States. She has
lakes which contain half Of the fresh
water Of the globe, and Hudson bay,
which is an immense inland sea 1000
miles long and 600 miles wide, has
a very marked inAuencein raising her
temperature. The wheat lands OF
Canada are not only greater in extent,
but more productive than these Of
the United States, in Manitoba the
yield per acre being double that of
our Northwestern States. The tim
Der of the dominion is ample for the
needs of the continent for century,
to say nothing OF the fish and furs.
The more that her resources are
known or inquired into intelligently,
the more certain does it become that
O grand future awaits the Canadian
provinces. A prominent question OF
the day is, Do we want to annex Can
ada? General Butler grew extremely
enthusiastic and equally interesting
in pointing out the strength and vast
possibilities OF the union between the
two great English speaking people in
the new world. He painted an at-
tractive picture, and in 30 far was
strictly within the bounds, not only
of the possible and practical, but very
probable. He was not satisfied with
euch circumscribed union, however,
and became merely speculative in
suggesting the National alliance OF
all English speaking communities
on the globe. With such league
the orator thought war and famine
would be well nigh impossible. The
remarks upon the Canadian union are
pertinent and well worthy OF atten-
ton. II Canada wanted to enter the
Union, General Butler said, England
could not prevent per, and if she did
not want to, England could not force
her to do so. 1t depends upon the
United States and Canada whether
or not they shall become parts Of one
nation. 1t would not be wise or
right to attempt to force annexation,
but it would be advisable for this
country and Canada to appoint COM
missioners to find out whether COM
mercial union would not be for the
benefit of both. and, if 80, to suggest
q basis for such o union. He thought
that in that way an understanding
could be arrived at that would ulti-
mately lead to annexation. The ad-
dress was o timely and excellent one
throughout and is receiving much
attention from the press OF this coun-
try 1t will likely excite mnch COM
ment, too, both in Canada and En-
land.
