Vegetables VS.. Beef.

1t appears to be the belief of some that as
man in the savage state has for the most part
been largely, fnot wholly, carnivorous, he will
with the progress of civilization become en-
tirely vegetarian or use only the products of
animals, as eggs and milk, with vegetable
food. A vegetable diet has been found very
successful in treating kidney troubles and in
digestion. In point of economy it is an en-
ormous saving, not only in actual cost to the
consumer, but also in land, as of two equal
portions of ground, one raising cereal and
the other beef or mutton, the part devoted to
the cereal will support ten times as many
men as the beef or mutton portion.

Counsel for the appellant in case from the

Good or Ill Luck.

An ancient Version of the Bible has this
statement with regard to joseph when he
was in the house of the soldier, Potiphar
"And he was luckie fellow" Perhaps it
gave the idea prevalent in Egyptian society,
and may be in the times when the Bible was
first translated, as well as our version does,
which reads, "all that he did, prospered in
his hand" Nor is it an idea wholly confined
to pagan Egypt to attribute mans success
10 luck. John Jacob Astor made it rule 10
have no dealings with unlucky men. But, no
doubt, that shIewd observer of men and
things regarded bad luck as only the sign OF
characteristics that would make any man un-
successful.
Still there are those who firmly believe in
this principle of predestned success or fail
ure, and they will point with triumph to the
case of the eccentric, self-styled Lord Dex-
ter" of Newburyport, as an illustration.
His career seemed succession of blunders
which yet turned out to be profitable; Or at
least, the enterprises that were most eccen-
trio are the ones best remembered and most
frequently quoted. But little is said of his
early industry in his lanyard, his purchase of
a good tract of land on the Penobscot River,
which greatly increased in value, or his buy
ing some stock which afterwards rose very
high, or any of those ways of making money
which are common among successful business
men, 1t was not all 'luck" even with Lord
Timothy Dexter" if he did once take a wag 8
advice, send cargo of warming pans to the
West Indies and make money by it. The
lids were found to make excellent molasses
strainers, and the lower parts substantial
clippers. With the proceeds of the cargo he
fitted out a fine vessel. But let any thousand
business men blunder as badly in sending out
a venture, will one be found who will profit
by it? Anomalies prove nothing, in nature
or in the moral world. Thistles and figs do
not grow on the same bush, nor do olives
grow on grapevines. God has promised His
blessing to the faithful and diligent. and has
said that "The idle soul shall suffer hunger"
even child is known by his do
ings," and so is young man. 1t is not hard
to forecast the probable success or failure of
one whom you watch day by day as he goes
about his business, and whose company you
observe when he is off duty. Take note of
the "unlucky men" you chance 10 know, and
see if you cannot divine the source of this
ill-luck. 1t may be profitable study, and
show you rocks to avoid. Good, sound
Judgment in all the moves of life is much
more reliable than fancy or whims, and your
"luck" in life will, in all probability, be of
your own making. Men of the right stamp

The Soul.

The soul in its highest sense is a vast capa-
city for God. 1t is like a curious chamber
added on to being-a chamber with elastic and
contractile wall which can be expanded, with
God as its guest, illimitably, but which, with
out God, shrinks and shrivels until every YES
tige of the divine is gone and Gods image
is left without Gods spirit. Nature has her
revenge upon neglect as well as upon
extravaganza. Misuse with her is as mortal
sin as abuse.-Heu'y.. Drummond

A Charitable Performance.

An English organ builder was one day
asked what was thought of Mr.. Blank as an
organist.
"Sir," he said with mock solemnity, che is
a most respectable man."
"Yes. have no doubt of that, but want
to know how he ranks as performer on the
organ"
"Sir, he is a most exemplary man, and one
who plays as though he were also charitable
man."
Now would you mind telling me what
you mean by saying he performs like char
liable manP'
"Wel, if l must be explicit, Mr. Blank
plays upon the organ as though he did not
let his left hand know what his right hand
was doing"

 BOSTON. June s.--rhe wool mar ket during the past week has shown considerable depression, attributable to two chief causes, strlngency in the money market, brought on by the immense flow of gold from New York to Europe, followed by several large failures in the wooden and boot and shoe trades; and secondly, from the fact that wools bought at recent prices cannot be consumed by manufacturers with any probability of profit, all the secured wcols have been offered at from ac to 5c lower. Manufacturers will not take hold, and to effect sales, luther reductions have to be made. Six month and short wools are neglected. What little trade there is, being in long staple full year growth.

PROBABLY there has never been a time or place in human history where the mass of the people were so thor oughly interested in theological pro,- lems as they are in this country to, day. The news departments of the daily papers give up columns to re. ports of the pending theological con. troversies, and it is easy to see by casual observation on the trains and in the hotels that these reports are read, and thoroughly read, by the per users of the newspapers, All of which illustrates the fact that the successful preacher of to-day must be either a man of exceptional learning, or ex ceptional spirituality, or exceptional eloquence. A mere smattering of doctrinal knowledge may make him ridiculous in the viaw of his congrega. tion, who are likely to bs better in. formed than he.
