The man who follows the advice Of
another is Just as sure to stay behind as
he who da,es to be independent is to
get ahead.
Self knowledge Is that acquaintance
with ourselves which shows Us what We
are, and what we ought to be, in order
to our living comfortably and usefully
here, and happily hereafter.
You cannot beautify your own garden
merely by destroying your neighbors.
TO steal the choicest he has is IL crime.
TO destroy only to CRAFTY your sectarl'
amsm, ignorance aud prejudice, is to
demcan yourself.
1t is not work that kills men, it is
worry. Work is healthy; you can
hardly pnt more on man than he can
bear. Worry is the rust on the blade.
1t l3 not the revolution that destroys
the machinery, but the friction.
Now strength can clteu be gained by
changing the surroundings, the compan'
ions, the everyday influences, and bring
ing to bear others Of different and
better type. What cannot be done by
direct volition can often be accomplish
ed by indirect means.
Nothing sinksa young man into low
company, both Of men Hnd women, SO
surely as timidity and dIiiidence of him.
self. If he thinks that he shall not, he
may depend upon it he will not please,
and a degree Of persuasion that he shall,
it is almost certain that he will.
He that will not permit his wealth to
do an v good 70 others while he i3 lying
prevents it from dong any good TO him
self when he is dead, and by an egotlsm
that is suicidal and has double edge,
cuts himself off from the truest pleasure
here and the highest happiness here
after.
The fruits Of the earth do not more
obviously, require labor and cultivation
TO prepare them for our use and sub
slstencr, than our faculties demand
instruction and rsgulation in order to
qualify us to become upright and val
liable membels of society, useful to 9TH
ers, or happy IN ourselves.

The Last Cigarette.

light the nights last cigarette,
The burdcncd brains release;
To thee dedicate its fire
Its incense, ard its peace.
In soft, succeeding pillows
The fieecy fragrance rolls,
From which one face smiles ever
Crowned with soft aureoles,
And on the vccring vapor
The hands of Hope begin
TO paint the Only paradise
My weary soul would win.
Raise no forbidding spcctres
Within your tlcccy shroud,
Bat show the fatcful future,
0 mystical white cloud.
Show me the end of longing
The heart of her love
Fade not but ON yon zephyr
Be thou my carrier dove.
Tell her that VIXEN has vanished
Thy birth spark in the gloom,
It's faithful breath long lngcrs
About my lonely room.
SO, though Loves flame may smoulde
lts spell doth not depart,
But fills with unseen censers
The chambers OF my heart.
Puff 'tis the last the Lethe
Is drained to its final sip.
Are these Dead Sea fruit ashes
That linger upon my iipy
Is she but u phantom lonely,
Cheating my soul with bliss
That CUmeth in visions only
To end in smoke, like this?

A Hornet Carries on a Spider.

"You may talk about the cunning Of the
fox, but you should have seen how a wasp
turned the tables on a spider" said a man
the other evening when they were telling
hunting stories. "One day fellow sports
man and l were returning from a success
full tramp for 'grays' on the Ticonderoga
fats, up in Essex county. We were rest
ing on the top rail of an old fence when
our attention was attracted by buzzing
sound near by, which we soon found to
come from one of those big black hornets
that hunters generally steer clear of.
The old fellow lay in spiders web,
buzzing away. We saw at a second glance,
however, that he was not entangled in the
meshes at all He would keep quiet mo-
ment and then buzz again. He continued
to act in this manner for about minute,
and we were unable to account for his
strange conduct. Pretty soon, up from its
den among the rails, came a good sized
spider, which bravely grappled with the
huge intruder.
1t then became clear that the action Of
the hornet had been only willy ruse TO at
tract the spider, for he at once stung the
plucky little defender 70 death, and few
away with it to his big nest in thicket Of
blue beeches on a neighboring hill.-New

A Skim Milk whitewash.

It Is found that most effective compo-
sition for fireproofing exterior surfaces
may be formed by shaking a sufficient
quantity of freshly burned quicklime OF
the best grade, and when the shaking is
complete there is added such an amount oil
skim milk, or water IN its absence, as will
make liquid of the consistency of cream.
To every ten gallons of this liquid are add
ed, separately and in powder, stirring con-
stantly, the following ingredients in the
order named: Two pounds of alum, TWEEN
ty-four ounces subcarbonate of potassium
or commercial potash, and one pound OF
common salt.
If white paint is desired no further addi-
ton is made to the liquid, though the
wilderness is found to 6eimproved by few
ounces of plaster of Paris Lampblack has
the effect Of giving number of shades,
from slate color TO black. Whatever tint
is used it is incorporated at this stage, and
the whole, after being strained through a
sieve, is run through paint mill. When
ready to apply the paint is heated nearly
to the boiling point of water, and is put on
in its hot condition. II is found that the
addition of a quantity of fine white sand to
this composition renders it valuable COW
ering for roof and crumbling brick walls,
which it serves to protect.-New York

THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

Il is thought the new school building
on the Harris property in the Fourth
ward near Eleventh street and Cleveland
avenue will be completed by the 1st OF
January next and ready for use after the
holiday vacation. The building will be
of the job lots variety. Part of it will
come from the old kellogg school build
ing 1t was to be removed some distance,
to be pressed again into the school service.
The old Washington avenue school will
play a conspicuous part also and two
rooms will be added to the construction.
1t will be a one story four room affair
with hot air heating apparatus. The
building will be constructed on the super
intendent plan and it is thought can he
put mp at a cost that will be an advantage
over the rent plan now affording room in
that locality at $40 per month.

Some men have the money getting
others the money saving faculty, very few
have both. Those endowed with the former
in its plenitude, and who exercise il 10 the
utmost, often become rich while indulging
in all the expensive luxuries which stump
tuOus tastes can suggest, but the colossal
figures of finance, the giants of the bank
note world, D." by whose side the half million
and million fellows are merely respectable
dwarfs, are generally rigid economists in
their personal expenditures, and some peo-
pie are discourteous enough to call them
screws"
Upon the whole it is much easier 10
make money than To save it. and although
we would not advise any one to be misery,
it is certainly the part Of wisdom and pru-
dence to set aside a considerable portion OF
a large income as provision for the fut-
ure, and so TO invest this reserve fund as
TO place it, if possible, beyond the reach of
all the ordinary contingencies of business.
1t is pleasant thing during one of those
financial cyclones which every now and
then make shipwreck of innumerable
fortunes TO feel that one has an anchor to
windward that will not drag Therefore
while you are making money save it, and
as you save it put it where no monetary
CONFUSION can bring your mobiles to nine
pence. New York Ledger.

COLLECTING DATA.

The Hon. J. G. Mccoy is back from the
Oklahoma campaign little disfgured but
in the ring. He explains it by saying he
can get along on a party platform all right
but cannot handle himself in town lot
campaign. He is now making figures on
the live stock enumeration Of cattle on the
range and represents that the work is
getting along nicely.
Agent in the field d. C. Cantwell in the
New Mexico district, who by way Of
parenthess was in the habit Of killing
people, has been relieved Mr. Hepburn,
Of Valley Center, has also been relieved by
the department. Mr.. Bone, of yelling
ton, has about completed the territory
work and will 90 to New Mexico, and Viii
son will land in New Mexico from the
territory.
The work in most of the districts has
been going along nicely and it is thought
by the lst Of January all the field data
will be secured and the remainder of the
work can be done in the office There
seems little probability that the report Of
the department will be completed within
six months as il viii include n wonderful
amount of data in many forms and col
umns, giving information about many
features of the live stock Industry which
10y the way Is one of the most important
in this country.

IMMENSE SCHEME.
Proposition to Have New Stock Yards Will
Accommodations on the Perpetual
Motion Plan

There have been many schemes in
Wichita, many varieties and each variety
sub-divided into many parts. The fastest
| TO come TO the surface, but which, by the
way, has been quietly smoking for some
time as a result of a strong appetite in the
| line of personal interest, provides for new
stock yards. The originator claims to
have no money, which is conceded TO be
correct, but further claims to have brains.
He proposes to furnish the brains if some
one will furnish the money.
Like some others about two months age
he commenced to howl calamity in order
to carry out a plan to get hold of some
thing that part of it at least might get
lost in his own pockets.
He has represented to the Alliance in
many places in person and by letter to
many cattlemen in the southwest, that the
stock yards at Wichita have not been
treating them fairly. While he, himself,
is supposed to be lawyer and hoped to be
assistant to Atwood in the county attorney
business, and has never been at the stock
yards, yet he is quite certain that the poor
farmers are being imposed upon. He can
imagine the iron heel coming down upon
them until their cries of agony can be
heard farther than the believing of the
cattle. Being in strong sympathy with
the poor man, including himself, he has
a cure all remedy that if taken in time
will be attended with good results In
order TO fully understand the properties of
the medicine it is proposed TO have meet
ing some time next week and speciman
of the combination analysed. If the some
one will put up the money it is represent
ed that the affair will be a tremendous
success, and no doubt about the guarantee
being alleged brains. As explained by the
originator yesterday one hundred and sixty
acres Of land will be purchased, sup
piled with government sheds and
stock yard apartments. When the market
is little slow and it is thought the owner
should receive more the plan would be to
put the stock in the government sheds
and get the government to make loan at
per cent or nothing if the owner says he
fails to have a little loose cash. II the 1G0
is filled up with live stock in this way and
more room is necessary, take in the next
quarter most desirable and have the whole
outfit plastered with a government loan.
This remedy as represented comes in small
packages, only costs % cents and is worth
many thousands of dollars.
The proposed meeting next week will
have in view primarily the new stock
yards scheme, and secondly, will consider
another line of business in which another
gentleman representing himself as not
having ready cash but ready brains, viii
be primarily interested. In fact h insists
