The New York state legislature has
had under consideration a measure
which reduces the legal rate of inter
est in that state from 6 to 5 per cent,
but it is opposed on the same ground
which obtains elsewhere-that It's eff
feet would be to drive money out of
the state rather than make it cheaper.
This is a singular state of affairs in an
old and prosperous state, but 1t simply
emphasizes the tact that the price of
money, like that of any other com
modify, is largely regulated by the
laws of supply and demand.

Whatever else the South Dakota leg

not be censured because it declined to
enact legislation which would have
driven capital entirely out of the

rates

Sioux Falls is enterprising and she is

as rightfully theirs.

OUTWlTTING A BRAHMIN.
Western Ideas Are Making Progress In
the Minds of the Hindoos.

| Western Ideas Are Making Progress In
| the Minds of the Hindoos.
The Brahmins are the sacred caste of
India, and their sanctity is the basis of
their supremacy. This is SO powerful
that to refuse Brahmin food is to call
! down punishment from the skies, and to
beat one Is to consign the beater to an
eternity of woe. But Western ideas are
making progress in the minds of the
natives, and the following story, con-
densed from Tent Life in Tigerland,"
shows that the little 1eaven is working
in the lump of Oriental superstition:
There are different kinds of Brahmins,
and some of them lead lazy, vaga bond
ish life, relying upon the virtue of their
caste to secure them food and lodging,
at whatever house they may visit. Ono
of these oleaginous peripatetic loafers
came one day to the door of grain
seller reputed to be wealthy. With the
imperiousness of high-caste Hindoo,
the Brahmin demanded some refresh
ment. The grain-seller had imbibed
English ideas to such an extent that his
mind was made up not to be blackmailed
by able-bodied but lazy Brahmins.
Other villagers brought food to the
Brahmin, but he refused to accept their
offerings, being determined to break the
spirit of the grainseller. One day
passed, and neither had yielded.
On the second day, the Brahmin, now
very hungry, poured forth his curses
upon the grain-seller's head, muttering
spells, and bringing forth all manner of
objurga tions. The grain-seller remained
obdurate. Then the Brahmin lacerated
his arms, for he thought that when the
man saw the blood of a Brahmin drop
ping at his door, he would submit
through fright. The horror-stricken
neighbors implored him to yield and
avert the dire consequences that might
come upon the village. The grain-seller
was as deaf to their entreatles as to the
clamor of the lazy beggar.
On the third day, as if to scare the
man by one horrible deed, the Brahmin
went to the edge of a deep well in the
courtyard, and amid the cries of the
assembled villagers, jumped down
into the gloomy depths. The women
screamed and beat their breasts,
the men tore their hair and garments.
The grain-seller rushed to the well,
bent over the brink, and begged the
Brahmin. whose form he could see
floating in the water, not to drown him
self.
The Brahmin must have thought that
at last he had conquered, for his hands
grasped the strong silken girdle which
the grain-seller let down, and suffered
himself to be slowly drawn up. When
the spluttering Brahmin reached the
top of the well. his wrists were grasped
by the grain-seller, and tied together
with the girdle which had served as
draw-rope.
Amid the lamentations of the Shrek
ing crowd, the grain-seller hauled the
half-drowned Brahmin to the nearest
nolfce station, and charged him with
attempting to commit suicide. The
Brahmin was sent to prison, and from
that day the pretensions of the MEM
bers of the sacred caste were not needed
in that village. Companion.

WHITE LIlACS.

Il year ago, year ago
She stood bene ath the lilaotree,
Her face with light and life aglow.
And pulled the branches down for me-
The blossoms showed against her hair
Like fairy feathers. crisp and white;
She looked so radiant and so fair
With flashing smile and rlGnces bright
Now here the liIacs bloom again:
They crown the tall and branching stem;
Fragrant and pure IN sun and rain,
\ stately, spotless diaden.
But where is she who stood below
And bent the white plumes down TO me?
An. mournful question: Wall and woe
Come signing through the lnac-trec.
They closed ere spring had breathed its
balm:
That living smile that flashed before
Is cold in deaths eternal cain.
And now above her greeniag grave
With other flowers by mourncrs strcwed.
The lilac feathers softly wave.
And perfume all the solitude.
For life has gone and love has fed:
And yet the year comes round again,
Whatever futile tears arc shed,
Whatever hearts are broke with pain.
There is no grief in flower or field;
No memory hath the lilac-trce;
Nor hope nor help the roses yield.
Nor weeps the dew for loves that flee.
Yet these themselves shall one day die,
When the wide heavens together roll;
And all this bCauteOus earth and sky
Shall perish like q flaming scroll.
But she wEo bent the lilac bough.
VINO sleeps to-day beneath the sod
Shall live with glory on her brow
And greet me when l go to God.

Only truly selfish man can realize
fully how utterly selfish other men can
be.-Somerville Journal.
Speech was given man to conceal

who afterwards prove the most faithful

Ask a favor from your enemy and

of your friend and you make him your

The man who is always saying that

Toronto Globe.
The good are said to be happy; but
| it is probably not because they spend
the time thinking how much better they
| are than the rest of humanity.-Boston
| Transcript.
-Antisthenes wondered at mankind,
that in buying an earthen dish they
were careful to sound it lest it had a
crack, yet so careless in choosing friends
as to take them flawed with vice.
! Life is like an ocean, some souls,
like the great waves, bear heavy bur-
dens and carry treasures to far-of lands;
others, like the foam, sparkle for mo-
ment in the sunlight and then are cast

| The world is upheld by the veracity
of good men; they make the earth
wholesome. We call our children and
our lands by their names. Their names
are wrought into the verbs of language.
their works and efiigies are in our
houses, and every circumstance of the
day recalls an anecdote of them.-Em-

There are legitimately in every hui
man soul two opposing forces-the GEN.

ward necessity to seek a social exist
ence, and so create human society, and
at the same time to vindicate the great
fact of personality, and SO secure indi-
| lity.-Once a Week.
| -People-and sometimes those who
| call themselves, or would have others
call them, good and upright-are
| pleased with any thing that has in it an

STRAWS THAT SHOW THE WIND.

The action of the General Assembly
of the knights of Labor, at the meeting
just closed at Atlanta, regarding the
land question, is an important one,
more especially at this time since the
strength Of the order now lies in the
country and. small towns. A
few years ago the Knights would not
have dared to put such plank in their
platform, and its adoption now proves
that the worlingman has begun to study
political economy and the science Of
government.-Detroit Sunday Sun.
The single tax men appear to be quite
active in this city. Where a multi
plicity of taxes is the rule the single
tax notion ought to be pop ular.-I Troy
Morning Telegraph.
This action shows that the knights Of
Labor have at last struck the tap root of
industrial disease, and it may fairly be
regarded as the most important step
ever taken by that body. The leaven
of the single tax idea has for years been
slowly working among the Knights
throughout the country.-CL eceEand
american Union.
In this State one of the greatest issues
is the removal of the unjust and OPP
pressiye burdens of taxation now borne
by the farming interests. As a proposed
remedy for this great evil, the single
tax theory is worthy of the careful at
tention OF the thinking men of the
State.-ScAuylerrWe, ~. y Stamford.
This position taken by the order
(Knights of Labor on the land question
is one of vital and far-reaching import
ance, and it is to be hoped will draw
members to the order instead of driving
them away. Chicago Express.

leading ST. Louis physician, in an
interview few days ago, said: ''Some
statisticians say that the most delicate
age is from sixteen to twenty-three, but
| have different opinion, based on my
practical experience. / think that
children from one to ten years of age
are the most delicate, and yet the most
neglected members of community.
People often say that child is strong
and healthy, requiring no attention,
but this is mistake. Because parents
contide SO implicitly in the health and
strength of their children, great por-
ton of the deaths occurring annually
are Young children.
