Stop 1y Paper.

The following is most respectful
ly submitted to the attention Of
those whom the cap fits:
After you get angry and stop
your paper just poke your finger in
water, pull it out and look for the
hole. Then you will know how
sadly you are missed. A man who
thinks a paper cannot survive with
out his support ought to 60 off and
stay awhile. When he comes back,
half his friends will not know that
he was gone, and the other half will
not care a cent, while the world at
large kept no account of his move
ment. You will find things you can
not endorse in every paper. Even
the Bible is rather plain and hits
some hard licks. If you were to
get mad and burn your Bible the
hundreds of presses would still 60
on printing it; and when you stop
your paper and call the editor
names, the paper will still be pub
lished, and what is more-you1l
read it on the sly.-Exchange.

Miss FRANCES WILLARD protests
against the extravagancies of fash
ion, the decollette dress, the giddy
whirling waltz and the conventional
wine glass of the fashionable din
ner table. In her recent annual
address Miss Willard expatiated
upon the sins and frivolities of
modern society, and predicts an ul-
innate ostracism of all those social
improprieties. The following is an
extract from MissWillard' 8 address
The special enclosure known as
society" grows smaller and less
fascinating to the great many-sided
world of women. Christianity is
emancipating us, and showing us
so many other things to do. Women
more gifted, cultured and rich than
these who give themselves wholly
to society, devote themselves now
adays to things they find 80 much
more worthy Of them, that ''society
women" have become a subdivis-
ion, quite clearly marked, of the
real womanhood that has a broad,
free life and outlook on the world.
Just as in the early days, one who
did not take wine was almost ostra-
cized but it is now respectfully re-
garded and even praised, so mot to
be in society" is no longer mark
of singularity, but a "differentia-
ton" There are so many better
things to do than to sit for two
hours as devotees around the stom-
achic altar of dinner table. or to
spin in a waltz, taking attitudes
elsewhere indecent or intolerable.
But society dissected down to the
marrow, yields but these two spec
tacles, and these two will pass away.
Banish wine from the dinner, dane
ing from the 'evering entertain
ment," and society" with its late
hours and indigestions, would ere
long collapse. Nothing is surer
than that wine is to be banished,
and that with the growing uplift
and dignity of womanhood, dane
ing, and the outrageous mode of
dress that goes along with it, will
one day be held as mere relic of
barbarism.

1t is no exaggeration to speak Of
the European Continent as an armed
camp. From some returns which
have been prepared for the infor-
nation of the Austrian War Office
we get an idea Of the marvellous
rapidity with which some of the
States can now mobilize their armies
and rush them to and across their
frontiers. In the event of war
breaking out suddenly, or absolute
ly without any warning, what could
Germany do? In seventy-two hours
she could have 100000 men, fully
equipped, on French soil; and at
the end of seven days this number
would be increased to 10000. She
could in three days put 10000
men upon Russian soil, and in the
same space of time she could plant
100000 in Austria. What could
Austria do? She could in three
days carry 10000 troops into Rus
sia. Russia is not 80 we'll prepared
for rapid movement but it is cal
culated that she could bring to the
Austrian frontier in three days 25,-
600 men, and by the end of seven
days 10000. France is already
we'll prepared for rapid movement ;
and she is about to increase hel
railroad facilities in the direction
of the northeast. Already she could
it is thought, carry 100000 men to
the frontier in three days and 7OO,.
600 within a week. When the new
arrangements shall have been com.
pleted, the calculation is that these
figures will be increased to 100000
and $50, 900, respectively. Of course
calculations may fail and accidents
mar the success of the best laid
plans.
It is reasonable to conclude that
the cost of these vast armies must
be something fearful. The annual
cost of the whole is estimated at
one hundred and twenty millions
of pounds sterling $500, ,000).
During the last seventeen years the
preparations for the great war that
is yet to come have cost the Powers
not under fifteen hundred millions
sterling (7,5OO,OOO,OOO). Such .
state of things is a disgrace to the
Christian Nineteenth century.-N.

GEORGE D. PRENTICE, probably
one of the most gifted writers that
ever added lustre to American
journalism, said: 1t cannot be that
earth is mans only abiding place.
It cannot be that our life is bub-
bic cast up by the ocean of eternity,
to float moment upon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else
why these high and glorious aspira-
tions which leap like angels from
the temples of our hearts forever
wandering unsatised? Why is it
that the rainbow and clouds come
over US with a beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass on and leave
us to muse on their loveliness?
Why is it that the stars which hold
their festival arc und the midnight
throne. are set above the grasp of
our limited faculties and forever
mocking rs with their unapproach-
able glory? And finally why is it
that the bright forms of human
beauty are presented to our view
and taken from us leaving the
affections to flow back in
Alpine torrents upon our hearts,
We were born for a higher destiny
than earth. There is a realm where
the rainbow never fades, where the
stars will be spread ont before us
like islands that slumber on the
ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings that pass before US will for
ever stay in our presence.

Changes at Niagara Falls.

On a recent Friday a mass of
rocks fell from the Horseshoe Falls
of Niagara, and twenty-four hours
later another mass was precipitated
into the abyss below, with a noise
so closely resembling that Of an
earthquake as to alarm the residents
of the neighborhood. The result
of the displacement is change in
the shape of the fall. Formerly the
Canadian fall deserved to be de-
seribed as horseshoe, but the break
ing away of rocks in the centre
some years ago made it V-shaped.
Now that a further displacement
has occurred the fall has returned
to it's old condition. It is of course
generally known that the Falls of
Niagara are gradually moving to the
south. The deep cut through the
solid rock marks the course they
have taken in their backward move
ment. 1t is a wonderful excava-
tion-a charm dug out by the sheer
force of water. Not less astonish-
ing has been the removal Of the de-
bris. The rock has been thorough
ly pulverized, and has been swept
out of the river to be distributed in
Lake Ontario. Once it was thought
that in the wearing away process
the falls would ultimately reach
Lake Erie, and there degenerate
into q series of rapids. But the
theory has been happily set aside
by one which retains to US the cat
aract, though the shadow of its
present self and much reduced in
size. The latest idea is that the
falls will recede two miles and then
remain stationary, their height at
that point being eighty feet instead
of 1874 as at present. The supposi-
ton is supported by an argument
which appears reasonable. The
present site is a limestone forma-
ton, some eighty or ninety feet
thick, with a shaly foundation. AS
the shale is washed away the lime
stone breaks off and the falls take
a step backward. But the end of
the shaly deposit will be reached
two miles from the present falls,
and then the rushing water will
have more than it can do to wear
away the solid precipice over which
it will be projected.-N. Y. Times.

EMMERsoN says: If We encoun-
ter man Of rare intellect, we should
ask him what books he reads. y
Question most educated men and
women and they will tell you how
strongly their early reading has in
fuenced them. Far back in the
hidden recesses of the mind lie
ideas gathered from this source, for
good Or evil, and-who knows?-
shaped destiny. What to read is
q problem few can solve. There is
one self-evident fact that the litera-
ture absorbed in early youth leaves
its vital impress upon maturer
years. The literature of to-day is
so so varied and attainable that
parents should carefully guard their
boys and girls from indiscriminate
reading. Outside even of personal
influence, to young person fond
of reading, books are more potent
in the formation of character. A
young girl, upon the threshold of
womanhood, about entering what
ought to be her realm, to be purified
and ennobled by her influence,
through the medium of heroes and
heroines of sensational novels
which her mother permits her to
read, is impressed with false ideas
of life, honor: and virtue. Need one
be a profound thinker to decide
with what result this may affect her
happiness and moral character as
she comes in contact with the stern
realities of life?

Good Advice to Miners.

Says Jim Townsend in the Ho.
mer Index: My friend, if you own
a mine and desire to dispose of it
for anything like a reasonable fig
ure, open it up. You may be as
poor as Bodie preacher, but if you
have health and strength you have
the capital which nature gave you
and you can always apply. Don't
you imagine because you have dis
covered a ledge and sunk a pothole
on it that it is mine. By no man.
ner of means. Unless it shows ex-
traordinary richness, it is a propo-
sition Of very indefinite value, and
even merchant looking at the
matter from a business point of view
might object to advance q sack of
-four and take it as collateral. But
if you should use a little muscle
and go down 80 or a 100 feet,e you
might strike something that would
enable you to patronize a two-bit
saloon, 60 to 'Yurrup" and move
in the very highest circles the rest
of your days.
Remember, that you have got to
eat grub while in camp, and that .
little exercise polishing the end of
a drill will give you good appe-
tite. But above all things, remem-
Der you can hardly give away a
prospect hole in the eastern market.
If you think you have got a mine,
open it up. and if you can show a
fair property with reasonable devel-
opment you will not have to wait
long for a buyer. So pitch in with
Q will. Devel0pe your mine and
muscle at the same time, and in the
days coming when the solid man
comes to look at your claim you
can show him . mine-not hole.
