Young man avoid debt. L has

asylums, filled more jails and ruined
more lives than any one power on

to steal, it goads them into lying,
it entices them into deception 1t is
the father of murderous thoughts,
the boon companion of treachery,
the traducer of character, and the
assassin of good credit. 1t destroys
conscience, it weakens courage,
it makes towards, it demoralizes
honor, it winks at trickery, and en-
braces rascality. 1t poisons the mind,
scars the conscience, embitters the
heart, robs life of its pleasures, and
fills it with gall 1t drives men from
palaces to poverty. from sanity to
madness, from hilarity to hopeless
ness, from heaven to hell.-Christian

STATUARY MARBLE IN VERMONT
In the United States statuary white
marble has as yet been quarried only
at West Rutland, Vt. Here a layer,
three or four feet thick, of pure white,
is interstratifed with 4Ofeet of cloud
ed marble. 1t is as perfect in color
as Italian, but by some it is said to
be less strong and durable, though
the opposite is affirmed by others.
White marble of fine quality occurs
also at Brandon, Vt. but in layers
too thin to allow of large blocks.

BILE known in the eastern states is at

HOIStein Cattle,

1t is said that some of the best and
most famous breeds of English cattle
owe their valuable qualities to a
strain of Holstein blood. The Hol-
dern ass breed, for instance, which
supplies London largely with milk,
Was at one time crossed with Holland
breed. 1t is an admitted fact with
physicians that the milk given by
the Observation-Disclosures is particularly
rich and nutritious. 1t has remarka-
bic tattening qualities, which the
chemist can reach by analyzation.
and which makei particularly valua-
bic for children's use. And it is a no
less acknowledged fact that thebutter
made from this milk is unexcelIed for
table uses. 1t is absolutely sweet,
but, more than that, it has an in
describable delicacy of flavor, which
makes it's use indispensable for those
households which have only the best
on their tahles.-Philadelp Record.
