Finish What You Begin.

My old great-grandmother Knox had
way of making her children finish
their work. If they began thing they
must complete it. If they undertook
to build dollhouse they must not
leave it until it was done, and nothing
OF the work or play to which they set
their hands would she allow them to
abandon incomplete. sometimes wish
l had been trained in this way. How
much of life is wasted in unfinished
work! Many man uses up his time
in splendid beginnings. The labor de-
voted to commence ten things and leave
them useless would finish five of them,
and make them profitable and useful.
Finish your work. Life is brief; time is
short. Stop beginning forty things, and
go finish four. Put patient. persistent
toll into the matter, and be assured,
one complete undertaking will yield
yourself more pleasure and the world
more profit than dozen fair plans of
which people say, "This man began to
build and was not able to finish.

"A FOOLISH DELUSION.
SomoUnequivocal Testimony Concerning

SomeUnequivocal Testimony Concerning
Beer as a Health Drink.
The claim that beer is a healthy
drink 5 the greatest of delusions. 1t
bloats md makes fat the drinker while
sapping the strength of both body and
mind. Even beer-drinkers are fast
finding his out. The Milwaukee Sem
tinel reports Theodore Roosevelt,
former member of the New York Leg
islature, IS saying:
"Do youl1now' said Mr. Roosevelt, holding
uphi glass and looking through the amber
hued liquid, that there is not u thought in o

York polititiar, that nothing OF merit was
ever written under the inspiration Of lager

its effect upon the brain is to stagnate thought.

taken by the poor, overworlled author to avoid
complete physical and mental collapse.
shall wait to see if any man can write any
thing who has drop of beer in his system"
Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular,
which is good authority in this case,
speaking of the discrimination of the
Government in favor Of beer, says:
''If we were getting better beer there would
be room for some liberation OF this Govern
mental favoritism; but, unhappily, the quality
of American beer is steadily deteriorating, and
already there are thousands of well-nformed
people who scrupulously refuse to touch it on
account of its injurious effects"
Again it says:
at is notorious that our brewers seldom
drink their own beer or the product of any
other brewery. At the places VIII CHI they fire.

az public picnics and summer-nights' festivals
which are attended by brewers it is generally
noticed that these men drink any thing but
beer. II beer is healthy, why do our brewers
refuse to drink beery'
The Scientific American says:
ut is our observation that beer-drinking in
this country produces the very lowest kind of
inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity.
The most dangerous class Of rufflans in our
large cities are beer-drinkers. Intellectually,

The GOLD DOLLAR.
According to n Banker Bangles Have Cap
tured the Little Coin.


tured the Little Coin.
A New York banker: s.In this spec
ulative age little difficulty is encoun-
tered in literally procuring 81 for 81,
if the fortunate man only happens
to possess the right kind of a dollar.
1t was common saying, not many
years back, to speak of a conservative
business man, not inclined to specu-
late, as being so cautious that he would
not pay more than eighty big copper
cents for a small gold dollar. Nova
days man can walk into a bank with
yellow gold dollar and exchange it
for from $3.50 to 81 in white silver, red
copper or crisp notes.
The fair sex, as rule, is not given
to speculation. Nevertheless it has
actually, unintentionally perhaps, and
without malice, made corner in gold
dollars. The craze for bangles has
about ended, but only for the reason
that the women of America are carry
ing almost the entire gold dollar cur
rency OF the country upon their necks,
arms, fingers and ears.
"On March 3, 1S49, the United States
Mint was authorized by law to coin 81
gold pieces. The weight of the coin
was to be 25.S grains, and the degree
OF fineness was fixed at 900. The same
year the first gold dollar coin was reg
istered, but from the beginning it did
not meet with popular favor because
OF its inconveniently small size.
"Along in the fifties the coin was
made of larger diameter but thinner.
During the war but little gold was cir
culated. and upon the resumption Of
specie payment the small gold coin was
not received as well as the silver cart
wheel of the same denomination. So
apparent is the objection to the gold
dollar as a circulating medium. that
for the past decade it's coinage has
virtually been suspended, except the
issuance of a few special copies each
year. "-Jewelers' Weekly.

A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
Some of the Prominent characteristics Of
the Late Maria Mitchell.

Some of the Prominent Characteristics OF
the Late Maria Mitchell.
From an open letter on Maria Nit
chell, the astronomer, by Anna C.
Bracket, in the Century, we quote the
following: Nothing was more char
acteristic of her than the way in which
she accepted the position and the sal
airy offered her, without ever thinking
to inquire whether the salary was the
same as that given to the other pro-
fessOrs. 1t was the chance to work
that she wanted, the chance for in
huence in one Of the first colleges for
women. The money she was to re-
ceive was minor consideration, and
quite as characteristic was her indig-
nation when, after being there for
considerable time, her attention was at
last called to the fact that she, ma
ture woman, with European fame.
was receiving a salary less than that
paid to some of the professors who
were young men, almost entirely with
out experience. and quite destitute of
reputation. The indignant protest,
which then called for an equal salary,
was not personal affair. She famed
out in behalf of all women, and of alb
stract justice. with a glow which
forced an immediate increase in salary.
The excuse for this injustice must be-
found first in the fact that, at the time
when Vassar College was established,
women had not proved what they can
do in professional lines, and, second, in
the very conservative influences which
guided the policy of the institution. In
her religious belief Maria Mitchell was
attached to one of the so-called liberal
sects. The children of the old Quaker
families of Nantucket generally went
o. er to the Unitarians if they departed
from the strict faith of their fathers. so
that in this matter also she vas almost
if not quite alone at Vassar. But she
was appointed on the ground of her
reputation as an astronomer, and for
tunate was it for the college that the
question of her religious belief was not
raised till after her appointment. ::
The absolute truth which, as have
said, was the keynote of her character,
could not fail to make her teaching
thorough, for love of truth is one and
the same. whether in the intellectual or
the moral sphere. But, as with all
true teachers, it was the force of her
personal character that acted most
upon the young women with whom she
came in contact. No one of them but
was lifted and strengthened by her
strength, sincerity and single-hearted-
ness. 1t was difficult for her to use d.
plomacy in ever SO small a degree, and
what skill in it she did gain was the
outcome of long years of experience,
and she never employed it without
mental protest. She gave the New
England stamp to whatever thing she
touched, and the lines of influence she
has left on many characters are as in
delible as those on the rock surfaces of
New England's granite hills"

require almost twice the present debt

to rum.

roads-leaving out of the account the
first cost of prisons, penitentiaries,
hospitals, asylums, ETC., the annual
repairs. and the interest on these sums
In 1880 the yearly product OF all our
manufacturing interests was IS, &c.,

to care for the victims OF rum is nearly
half OF this. The total anaual value of

A Foe of the Grog Shop,

Mr.. Terence V. Powderly is un-
deniably the foe of the grog shop.
While recently addressing an i'm.
mense audience of Knights of Labor
in Central Music Hall, Chicago, he
arraigned the saloon as the working
mans enemy, declared his belief that
the saloon should be closed not only
on Sunday. but every day in the year,
and reaffirmed his determination to
exclude liquor dealers from the or.
ganization. He also paid high
compliment to laboring women, ex.
claiming: "Many a time have been
constrained to wish that every man
in the order were a woman"
