The Forretful E,nnlore.

4 successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when he
was Is which were afterward Of great use
to him, namely, "Neyer to lose anything,
and never to forget anything"
An old lawyer sent him with an impor-
! tant paper with certain instructions what
to do with it. But" inquired the young
man. Suppose l lose it, what shall do
them"
"You must not lose it."
81 don't mean to- said the young man,
"but suppose should happen top
"But | say you must not happen to; l
shall make no provision for such an occur

This put new train Of thought into the
young mans mind, and he found that if
he was determined to 90 thing he could
| do it. He made such a provision against
every contingency that he never lost any
thing. He found this equally true about
| forgetting If a certain matter of i'm
portance was to be remembered, he pinned
it down in his mind, fastened it there and
made it stay. He used TO say: "When a
man tells me he forgot to do something,
| tell him he might as well have said: 4
do not care enough about your business to
| take the trouble TO think about it again :"
| once had an intelligent young man in
my employ who deemed it sufficient excuse
for neglecting any important task to say

he would be careful to remember. 1t was
because he did not care enough that he
forgot it. drilled him with this truth.
IL worked for me three years, and during
the last of the three he was utterly changed
in this respect. He did not forget thing.

OF GIVING AND GIVING.

''The blessedness of giving" is the topic
upon which a popular writer in an East
ern magazine dwells as if 10th to give owe.
its consideration. 1t is, indeed, more
blessed to give than to receive" and the
wonder is that there are not more gifts
than more givers. II our gifts are those
calling for self-sacrifce, they doubly bless
the givers, and il we can but cherish the
sacrifices as heart secrets, ours is trebled
pleasure.
The season of giving approaches; but
while it is an incident, this giving, of the
great underlying sentiment of kindliness
and charity of thought, the sympathetic
sentiment, which Christmastide quickens,
it seems to US that giving when it is not
gin season." so to speak, is more precious
still to the giver.
If we would get the very highest inter-
est out of giving, realize upon the invest
ment to the fullest possibility of heart
satisfaction, we should give when there is
the least of expectation entertained by our
intended recipient. The frmest builded
qualification We can provide for our souls
in giving is that which is based upon
generous and uncaloulating impulse, and
the exercise of which creates the greatest
surprise and awakens the deepest and pro-
foundest thankfulness in the heart of the
receiver. Yes, the best time to give is
that in which the benefcence is least ex-

CHRISTIAN AND JEW.

What would have been thought hun
bred years ago of such congress as that
Just held in Chicago? 1t was conference
of Christians and Jews upon "The Past,
Present and Future of Israel" In that
conference were some of the brightest in
tellects of the Christian and Jewish faiths.
1t is not improbable that in the not dis
tant future this notable congress will be
looked back upon as one of the most i'm
portant convocations ever held upon the
continent. Certainly its proceedings will
attract the attention of the civilized
world. 1t is not at all likely that this
great body of Jewish and Christian d.
vines and laymen will convince each other,
but it is probable that the outcome Of the
congress viii go long way towards ac-
complishing the purpose for which it was
called-that is, to give information and
promote a spirit of inqsiry therefor, on
the basis of mutual kindness between
Jews and Christians" Or, as another ex-
pressed it, ." to bring Jews and Christians,
who have so much in common, closer to-
gether in a spirit of mutual helpfulness
and welfare"
The essayists and active participants
upon the rostrum of the congress on the
first day and evening were Rev. Z. P.
Goodwin, D. D., Congregationalist; Rabbi
Felsenthal; Rabbi E. G.. Hirsch, of the
Reformed Jewish movement; Rev. John
II. Barrows, D. D., Presbyterian; Rabbi
Lehman Adler; Rev George F. Magown,
Methodist; Rev. C. Perrin, D. D., Bap-
fist. From a review of the reported pro-
ceedings of one days sitting of the con-
gress, we are impressed with the belief
that its membership, which was very large
and broadly representative, both clerical
and lay, went away from the conference
great deal better informed concerning
each others views, and very much more
in sympathy with each other. The age

Cheap living i'm london.

A once famous American disappeared
from New York some years ago and
months afterward was recognized in Lon
don. He told me that it seemed to him
that he lost consciousness here and re-
gained it there, everything between the
loss and recovery being blank in his
mind. He awoke one morning in a queer
little bedroom, with chintz curtains and a
crate fire and a comieal bed and ancient
furniture, built, like everything portable
in England, to resist time and to strain a
cartmans back. He arose, and seeing a
belI-cord, pulled it. A little woman in a
mob-cap and apron responded. He asked
her where he was, and what she under
stood his name and business to be, and how
he spent his time. Finally he said "What
do usually do when you come up, as you
say you do, every morning"
'sWell. SIR" she replied, syou usually

suggested.

BUSINESS NOT SENTIMENT.

The San Francisco Chronicle is sipgu-
larry obtuse. 1t has set its head against
reciprocity with what can only be char
acterized as stubbornness. In another
article assailing reciprocity it asks: SIS
it probable that Argentine, for instance,
will take breadstuffs or provisions from Us
if we admit her wool free? Did the plac-
ing of coffee on our free list result in a
material increase of the export trade Of
the United States to Brazil? VIII Chile
BUY wheat from US ii we admit her copper
free ?"
Such questions befog. and are intended to
obscure the truth. Reciprocity is not
free trade. 1t is protection, because 1t
protects a country's export trade by secur-
ing it its best market, and thus conserves
home production and manufacture.
Now no one has proposed that the ex-
change which reciprocity means shall be to
our disadvantage. On all lines upon
which reciprocity agreements can be had,
those articles only will be exchanged, that
is to say placed upon the free list, as the
foreign country does produce to best ad-
vantage and which we do not produce to
best advantage OF course a country grow
ing wheat for export will not take cur
wheat simply because We receive from
such country some product it grows to
better advantage than we do. No one
would expect to do so.
The condition of the establishment of
reciprocal relations always must be that
the foreign country takes from us some
thing reciprocally, produced in the
United States and exported by it. It is
also condition that such taking shall be
free of import tax. For instance, sugar
and coffee being the principal products OF
Brazil, if they are placed on the free list,
Brazil must offer us free entry to Bra
lillian ports and markets of American
wheat, locomotives, cutlery, ETC., or what
ever else will have market in Brazil,
and which we make or produce.
The placing of coffee ON the free list, re-
ferred to by the Chronicle, was not done on
the basis of reciprocal action. 1t did not,
therefore, produce the results that genuine
and well-guarded reciprocity would have
done; it did not prevent, for instance
Brazil from putting up the price of coffee
by laying on an export duty.
Not long ago the Chronicle said, eng
land buys from US twice as much as we buy
from her, but evidently her purchases ara
not based on sentimental considerations.
We have supreme pity for the intelligence
that could justify the penning of such ar
absurd sentence. When did trade ever
manifest sentimental sensibility? There
never was and never will be sentimental
relation in trade. The Chronicle writer
does not buy his boots from the maker be-
| cause of the love he bears him, but because
the bootmaker gives him his money;
worth, or better bargain than he car
secure elsewhere. We do not call in a
physician to heal us because Of affection fol
the man of medicine, but because we have
| faith in his skill-the man is hired who
can cure US, or who we believe can best
administer to us.

AND now come a number of eminent
physicians" of Eastern cities, contending
that men should wear corsets. The pleas
are that support is needed for the shoulders

man who does not exercise sufficiently and
correctly to keep his shoulders back and
his chest up aud out may need corsets, but
society is not much benefited by such men
certainly posterity is not. 1t may be
admitted, however, that there are very
many men who need backbone. and if the
doctors can invent device to stiffen the
moral, social, business and political spinal
columns of such men, their suggestion will
have respectful attention. There are
good many others, also, who have habit
of sitting on the ends of such backbones as
they have, making the back of the pelvis

BY far the deepest lake known in the
world is Lake Baiaal in Siberia, which is
every way comparable to the great Canad-
ian lakes as regards size; for, while its area
is over 5000 square miles, making it about
equal to Erie in superficial extent. its
enormous depth of between 1000 and
5000 feet makes the volume Of its waters
almost equal to that of Lake Superior.
Although its surface is 1850 feet above
the sea level, Its bottom is nearly 5000
feet below it. The Caspian Lake, or sea.
as it is usually called, has a depth in its
southern basin of over 5000 feet. Lake
Maggiore is 5000 feet deep, Lake Como
nearly 2,00O feet deep, and Lego-di. Garda
another Italian lake, has depth in GER.
tain places Of 1000 feet. Lake Constance
is over 1000 feet deep, and Huron and

Don OuIxote of the North.

Charles MI. of Sweden was so called on
account of his headstrong, impetuous
valor, which was seldom restrained, either
by considerations of prudence or common
sense. He was constantly engaged in some
crack-brained enterprise, and willing to
venture ON the most daring and foolhardy
expeditions. At Narya, with 5000 Swedes,
he stormed an entrenched Russian camp
where $4,000 men awaited his onset. His
rashness led to his defeat at Pultowa, and
finally to the downfall of Swedish power,
for after his death that kingdom, exhausted
by his wars, was no longer numbered
among the principal nations of Europe.
