BOYS, IMPROVE YOUR TINE.

Mt Ayr Record.
There are certain class of boys about
every town and city who apparently do
nothing but loaf, smoke cigars and cigar
cites, and are neither help to their pa
rents nor an ornament to society. Nine
tenths of the convicts in the penitentia-
ries were street-loafers when they were
boys, and preferred to get living in
some other way than by honest labor and
the sweat of their brow. Too many
boys are growing up in idlenesS and are
letting golden opportunities pass by un-
needed. Your boyhood days are rapid
ly passing by, and you will soon be call
ed upon to take up the cares and re-
sponsibilities of manhood. A good ed
ucation is offered to you in our public
schools, and one that will fit you for all
active duties of life, but you are letting
this precious gem slide through your
fingers, and instead of embracing this
opportunity of securing good educa-
tion, as your parents wish you to do, you
are seen on the street corner, stunting
your mental and moral powers by the
use of narcotics. Boys, there is future
before You. If life is worth living it is
worth living right. Get an education,
learn trade, and try and make a man
of yourself and let the world be better
by your having lived in it.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Civility costs nothing and buys every
thing.
Amid the roses fierce Repentance rears
her snaky crest.
AS you learn, teach; as you get, give;
as you receive, distribute.
Worth begets in base minds envy; in
great souls, emulation.
How to get on.-If we see rightly and
mean rightly we shall get on.
The true way of softening our trou-
bles is to solace those of others.
Malice sucks up the greatest part of
her own venom, and poisoDs herself.
People often think themselves above
things which in reality are above them.
The right law must be written on the
heart-all one thing with the life's love.
We must labor increasingly to render
our piety reasonable, and our reason pi-
Gus.
The manner of giving shows the char
acter of the giver more than the gift it
self.
Each year one vicious habit rooted
out, in time might make the worst man
good.
In all the affairs of this world, so
much reputation is in reality so much
power.
We always like those who admire us,
but we do not always like those whom
we admire.
Many young persons believe them
selves natural when they are only impo-
lite and coarse.
Discomfort is sharp sword which cuts
in twain the thread of life; but cheer
fulness will destroy its edge.
No marble monument is required to
retain the memory of him whose soul
delighted itself in marble deeds.
Nature will not give to man her high
est rewards except on the condition of
tn highest use of capable intellect.

WONDERFUL BOOKS.

Paper and Press.
One of the most curious series of
books in existence is in botanical col
lection at Warsenstein, in Germany. At
first sight the volumes present the aspect
of bundles of wood. But after more
careful examination it is found that they
contain detailed account of the trees
that they represent. On the back the
bark has been detached in order to de-
scribe the title of the book by its scien-
tific and its common names.
One of the pages is formed by a bro
ken piece of wood of the tree, showing
its fibres tnd natural fractures; the other
shows the wood when it has been polished
and vanished. At one of the ends the
fbres are seen as they remain after the
passage of the saw, and the other, the
wood finely polished. Upon opening
the book the fruit, the grain, the LEAKAGE
and other productions of the tree, the
moss which generally grows on the trunk,
and the insects which live on its different
parts, are seen. Added to this is well
printed description of the habits of the
tree, the places where it grows and its
method of growth.

ABOUT BIRDS,

The movements of birds on the wing
furnish familiar world of wonders
Some fly like arrows, some describe cir
cles in the sky, and others take a wav-
ing, undulating course. There are birds
everywhere, and they are capable of al
most anything; what one bird can not
do, another can. There are birds of the
earth, birds Of the water, and birds of
the air. There are birds that scream at
sea among the tempests, and birds that
sing calm evenings in trees shading cot
tage doors. There are birds that nest
upon the soil in open plains, and there
are birds that live in caverns; birds of
the wood, birds of the mountain, birds
that love towns and houses, birds living
alone in deserts.

THE NEW DISCOVERY.

You have heard your friends and neigh

be one of the many who know from per-
sonal experience just how good thing it
Is; if you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunch friends, because the won
derful thing about it is, that when once
flicted with cough, cold, or any throat,
lung or chest trouble, secure bottle at
once and give it fair trial; it is guaran-
teed every time, or money refunded; trial
bottles free at Patterson's drug store.

BIG STRIKE In THE SOUTH.
SIX THoUSANDALABAMAC COAL MINERS
TO QUIT WORK.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. June so. - Six
thousand coal miners will go out on a
strike in this district Tuesday morning.
This will cut off the supply of coke and
force twenty-three furnaces TO go out of
blast, throwing 5000 to 5000 more men
out of employment. The strike is
against the sliding scale. based on the
per cent. on all classes of work. Several
days ago the miners notified mine own
ers and operators that they would not
renew the sliding scale contract, which
expires to-day, and further, would de-
mand an advance of 10 per cent. on a
straight contract, to run twelve months.
Decided Not to Grant the Advance.
On Saturday meeting of mine opera
tors and furnace owners vas held in this
city, and it was decided not to grant the
advance. The furnace owners We're
willing to shut down for a month any
way for repairs, and on account of the
low price of iron it was agreed that fires
would be banked in all furnaces now in
for a general shutdown of everything
employing 700 men, closed down Satur-
day for six weeks, which will help the
mine owners somewhat.
The Men Ordered Not to Work.
As soon as the committee from the
miners were notified that their demands
would not be granted the men at all the
mines in the state were ordered not to
work after to-day. Both sides are de-
termined, and the struggle bids fair to
be long and bitter one. At the Pratt
mines and Coalburg 1,S00 convict miners
are employed. They will be able to sup
ply the railroads here and probably
keep the Birmingham Rolling mill, EN-
ploying LOO men, from shutting down.
The miners say they cannot afford to
work at present prices, and they seem
very confident of winning the fight.
Both sides expect the struggle to last six
weeks or two months.

MRS. MGINTY PLEADS GUILTY.
End of the Celebrated Conspiracy Case to
Kill Banker EoltZ.

New CASTLE, Pa, June 30.-Mrs.
Sarah Randolph, alias Sarah McGinty,
the woman who has been in Jail for
three weeks on charge of conspiracy
to kill William S. Foltz, president of the
First National bank, of this city, has
entered plea of nolle contendere
through her counsel, which is virtually
plea of guilty. She will be sentenced
by Judge Hazen, of Butler, who will
hold court here July Z. This looks as if
the end of the celebrated case has about
come, and in all probability the real
author of the conspiracy will never be
known. as the woman steadily refuses to
give away the man who, she says, got
her to enter into the scheme to kill the
banker. Sam Kissinger, who gave the
plot away, still says he does not know
the name of the principal, and the
woman, McGinty, has evidently made
up her mind to suffer the penalty of her
conspiracy in silence.
