ON RUM.

POSTMASTER General Hohn Wanamaker
made a prohibition speech to bis great Bible
class at Bethany Church in Philadelphia
last week. /" have been asked, 2 he said,
ITO give my views on the proposed prohib-
tory Constitutional amendment, on which
the people Of this Commonwealth are to
vote in June. To inteIligently discuss this
subject we must have a correct idea Of the
Christian duty in the matter, or, in other
words, the true idea of a Christians
life. We are not to do as other people
want, but as God says. Unless We walk
temperate we are fools. It is our duty to
abstain from anything that will offend our
brother, and for this God will hold US re-
spensible.
There are thousands of men in this city
who DO not get drunk aud who believe that
the liquor traffic should be stopped. Some
OF them are merchants who will not take a
stand for fear that they will displease some
of their customers. Many politicians are
also in the same dilemma. They forbid it
being brought into their houses-will not
touch it themselTes-but are afraid to de-
clare their convictions for fear of losing
votes. Next june you will have to vote
either for or against this dreadful business.
There are but two sides. BY silence you
viii give Your assent The bubble that
prohibition does not prohibit is sim
ply a catch. 1t is simply ridiculous when
looked at rom moral standpoint Of view.
Men must answer to God and not to man
as to how they vote. He IS going to count
the votes.
But besides this prohibition does pro-
hibit. \ fair trial has been given it and
the law is observed. The man who says
that in Maine the prohibition avs are not
observed is either ignorant or wants to de-
ceive. To make the question practical |
ask, Can you go home and get down before
God and say, Dear Lord, please help me to
defeat the prohibition amendmeni?' This
test is final, and should each Christian APP
ply it and act accordingly we would have
no fear as to the result

THE POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTOR.

For years past there has been an idea III
the minds Of many young people that there
lives mar somewhere who will give 81 ,o0o
for 900, 900 Cancelled postage stamps. In
replying to . youthful correspondent the
Syracuse Msyad says: This Cancelled pos
tage stamp myth, for such it must really be
called, has been current among juveniles
for nearly twenty years. In many house
holds throughout the land it is believed in
as unqaestioningly as the iiindoo deyotee
believes in Brahma or as the Mahorsotan
in the prophet of Allah. Somewhere there
is a person eager and willing to pay 81, 600
for a million Cancelled stamps, and in many
places industrious collectors have been en-
gagged in the fond endeagor to gather up
the necessary million. No one has ever
stopped to inquire the meaning Of a million,
orto figure for a moment how long a time it
would take for one person to collect a mil
lion stamps.
San enterprising youth in search Of
stamps would think if he got a hundred a
day he would be getting a great prize, and
yet at that rate it would take him nearly
twenty-eight years to gain the coveted mil
lion. Suppose he could collect one thou
sand a day in the year, it would still occupy
nearly three years Of his time, aud then it
would take nearly as long a time to count
them out to the person paying the money
for them, and there would be very little
time left either for eating or sleeping.
much less doing anything else in the way
Of daily diI9ies. Thus it may be seen how
foolish the idea is that. with great indus
try, a million stamps could be collected in
many years and then receunted to a pur-
chaser. And yet it seems like something
that could be accomplished.
"a few years agoa pleasant story went
the rounds of the papers telling how some
young person, eagerly DESTROYS Of obtain
ing this 81, 200 for his education, went the
rounds of the business offices, told his
needs, and gathered up all the stamps in
innumerable waste baskets. In this way
lie obtained 1000, 900 of stamps, and, as
the story goes. got the 81, 900. But if one
critically examines the tale, it will be seen
what an impossibility it is. To sever the
stamps from the envelopes. to count and
bunch them would take a very large
amount of time. The most industrious
worker could not possibly do this work at
the rate of one stamp a minute; but sup
posing he did do this, it would only be at
the rate of sixty an hour. or about GOO a
day for an ordinary days work. At that
rate it would take nearly five years to
count them. Then, if they had to be
counted again to the purchaser it would
take another five years

TEsE suKGEoS BIRD.

Two birds were building a nest under a
study window. A gentleman sat in that
study every day. He watched the birds
They were building the nest of clay. They
brought round bits of wet clay in their
bills. They stuck these bits upon the
wall.
After they had worked busily for a
while, they woald perch on a tree near by.
There they would sis and look at the nest.
Sometimes they would fly down and tear
away all that they had built, Sometimes
a part of the nest woald fall down. Then
the birds would sit and think how 10 build
it better.
Right in the middle of their work an ac-
cident happened. One of the birds step
ped on a piece of broken glass. 1t cut her
foot very badly.
But Mrs. Bird was a brave little body.
She wished to keep on with her work. She
did keep on until she was faint and sick,
and could not fly up from the ground,
Then she lay down. She closed her eyes.
She looked very sick.
The other bird looked at her ~anx5ously.
Then he turned and gave three loud,
strange cries. Soon several birds came
flying about, to see what was the matter.
A little surgeon bird came with them.
He looked like the others, but he soon
showed hat he was a surgeon. He brought
a bit of wet clay IL his bill. He ground il
fine with his own little beak. Then he
spread it on the birds sore, stiff foot, just
as a surgeon spreads a plaster. Next, he
took in his bill a long. green eornstalk
which lay near. He flew up on a tin water
pipe under the window. One end of the
eornstalk was near the lame bird. She
understood what to do. She took hold OF
it with her bill, and helped herself up ON
the water pipe, too. Then the surgeon
bird helped her into the half-buiit nest.
Poor Mrs. Bird Ii was very hard to be
sick, and to move into a half-built house.
What do you suppose the little surgeon
bird did next? He went to work and
helped Mr. Bird finish the nest, then he
flew off home.
Could The gentleman in the study have
been kinder or wiser than that little bird2

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STA
TEONS.

Secretary Rusk has issued a pamphlet
giving a history Of the agricultural expert
ment stations which have been established
under a recent law of Congress and are
now conducting scientific and practical ex-
periments in regard to soil, tillage, manures,
crops, stock feeding dairying and horticul-
ture in the various states. All the states
and one territory, Dakota, now have agri-
cultural experiment stations. The total
number of these stations now in operation
is forty-six, or, including branch stations,
nearly sixty. They employ more than $40
scientists and a~gricuiturists, and will this
year receive $685., 600 from the national
Government and about s125, 900 from the
states and other sources.

A ~swTNDLER-s SLY TRICK.

A most ingenious swiudle is being work
ed by a travelling peddler in the country
towns. He carries a bottle of medicine, a
box of salve and a bottle Of ssperfumed dis
infectant, = and the whole costs a dollar
He particularly urges the merits Of the
disinfectant, and says that when the cork
is left out the stuff diffuses a pleasant and
healthful odor through the house. He
leaves a sample bottle to be tried, and slyly
slips the cork out, leaving the open bottle
behind. The liquid is very volatile, and
consequently when the peddler calls again
in a few days the bottle is about half
empty, he stun having evaporated. He
demands fifty cents for what has been
fused, and is SO vehement in his demands
that he generally gets it. He is reaping a
harvest of half dollars.

BRaBED WITH TOBACCO

A suggestive yarn aboutthe abuse efthe
fee system by constables is told by a Gar
diner, Me-, man. Officers down on the
Kennebee have pocketed lots of money
from fees for arresting tramps. 1t seems
to have been the custom in times gone by
that when one of these gentlemen of leisure
was committed to Jail he was presented
with a plug of tobacco by the officer who
arrested him, with the understanding that
when his time had expired and he came
round GU the circuit again he should look
out for his official friend and help him to
get another fec The increase of this
branch Of the police duty caused compe-
tition TO spring up among the members OF
the force, and it is stated as a fact that
some of the brides Of tobacco ran as high
as a pound.-Psfts1urg Dispatch.
