The Washington Post publishes tie
views of a number of Southern Con-
gressmen on proposition which it says
Senator Butler will bring forward in
the Senate before the debate on the ell
ection bill closes, for the passage of a
joint resolution to deprive the negro of
his right to vote, while at the same
time reducing the southern represent
alton in congress to a proportionate
extent. While few southern repre-
sentatives can be found who will de-
clare themselves favorable to such ac-
ton, there is no probability that it
would receive tho support of a majority
from that section, nor could such dis
franchisment upon the color line be
accomplished after recognition of the
legal rights of the black citizens to vote
for 50 many years. An intelligence test,
applicable to all without regard to COM
plezion or social standing, is the only
one that can be successfully applied,
and this would exclude so many white
citizens of the south that there is no
probability of it's adoption.

How to get the most good out of Books

You should treat book as you
would a person with whom you are
talking for information; that is, ques :
ton it, read it over and turn back and
try to get at the meaning; if the book
itself does not answer the questions
you raise, go to some other book, ask
a dictionary or encyclopedia for an ex-
PLANTATION. And if the book treated in
this way does not teach you anything
or does not inspire you, it's of no more
service to you than the conversation
of dull, ignorant person. [ just used
the word "inspire." You do not read
all books for facts or for information
merely, but to be inspired. to have
your thoughts lifted up to noble ideas,
to have your sympathies touched, your
ambition awakened to do some worthy
or great thing, to become a man or a
woman of character and consideration
in the world. You read the story of a
fine action or heroic characteristic
death of Socrates or the voyage of
Columbus, or the sacrifice of Nathan
Hale, or such a poem as "The Lady
of the Lake"-not for information on
ly, but to create in you a higher ideal
of life, and to give you sympathy with
your felloys and with noble purposes.
You cannot begin too young to have
these ideals and these purposes, and
therefore the best literature in all the
world is the best for you to begin with.
And you will find it the most interest
ing. Do not forget that reading is a
means to an end. The indulgence Of
it is good or bad according to the end
in view. The mind is benefited by
pursuing some definite subject until it
is understood, but it is apt to be i'm
paired by idling nibbling now and
then, tasting a thousand things, and
swallowing none, in shortly desultory
reading.-January St. Nicholas.

For God and Home and Natire Land.

DR.. Bowditch, we'll known Boston
physician, has been very wisely saying:
"The medicine of the future is not that
which will cure, but that which will
prevent disease" Science is now ap-
plying itself largely with the preven-
ton of disease, in the way of ascertain
ing the causes, and then how they can
be removed. One we'll skilled scien-
titic man can do more real service to
humanity by removing the causes Of
diphtheria, typhoid fever and cholera
than one hundred scientific men can do
by applying all their skill to those
sick, while the causes remain undis-
turbed. The remedy OF the future is
not that which will prevent drunkards.
The will not be any drunkenness
where there is no drinking will
there be any drinking where there is
no selling will there be any sell
ing where there is no manufacturing,
or importing-no sales where there a; g
no supplies for sale. Abolish manu-
featuring and importing, and selling
and drunkenness is abolished. The
great and only remedy for drunken
ness is the prevention of drunkenness.
Years and years of yaluab time have
been lost in graphing with the drink
problem because such Intellectual rem
ed;es as attempts at regulation and re-
straint have been tried, and in tie
meantime thousands and thousands
have gone down to to the drunkard' s
doom. Give us new a thorough pre-
vention remedy, with a party behind
such laws, sincerely in earnest about
their success.-Canadian Voice.
1. The only states in the North that
have not adopted scientific temperance
laws, are New Jersey and Indiana.
2. Nothing has more deeply touched
my heart than the young parents who,
at the close of almost every meeting l
address, bring forward their little ones
saying, I'VE named our boy for you"
or, here is our little girl; she is your
namesake." This public recognition
seems no more than due, with the ex-
preston of my tender thanks and heart
felt prayers for all the sacred little
lives that are hostages to the future
for good behavior on my part, and,
what is thousand-fold more 81 gnifi-
cant, hostages to God for the full tri-
umph of our holy home cause born in
heaven.
3. Woman's physical emancipation
must keep apace with her spiritual,

4. Within the last twenty-five years,
the fruit-producing resources of the
United States have increased just ten
times as fast as the meat-producing
resources. Apples, oranges and grapes
are getting cheaper every year, but
meat is getting dearer. This means

"Mr. Lincoln, if 1 had supposed at

of going down to a one-hor8e lawyer

1 did not know how he would take
it, but rather expected an answer that
| could laugh at. But he brushed the
barber to one side, and with a solemn
face turned to me and said:
"Neither would I, Palmer. I don't
believe any great man with a policy
could have saved the country. If l

country it was because I attended to

that when tomorrow came would be

The n ewsparcr Fluff.

The newspaper puff is something
that makes men feel bad if they don't
get it. The groundwork of the ordin
airy newspaper puff consists of moral
character and good bank account.
Writing newspaper puffs is like mix
ing sherry cobblers and mint juleps
all through the summer months for
customers and quenching your own
thirst with rain water. Sometimes a
man is looking for puff and don't
get it, then he says the paper is going
down hill, and that it is in the hands
of monopoly and he would stop
subscribing il he did not have to pay
his bill first. Writing newspaper
puff is like taking the photograph of
a homely baby. If the photographer
does not represent the child with
wings and halos and harps, it shows
that the artist does not understand his
business. As it is with the newspaper
puff the pulled doesn't stand out
like bold and fearless exponent of
truth and morality, it shows the puffer
doesn't understand human nature. It
is more fun tC see man read puff
of himself than to see a man slip on
an orange peel. The narrow minded
man reads it over seven or eight times
and then goes round to the different
places where the paper is taken and
steals what he can. The kind hearted
family man goes home and roads it to
his wife, and then pays up his bill on
the paper. The successful business
man who adves tises and makes money,
starts Immediately to find the newspa-
pcr man, and speaks word of grateful
acknowledgement and encouragement.
Then the two men start out of the
sanctum and walk thoughtfully down
the street together, and the successful
business man takes sugar in his, and
they both take Glove or two; and life
is sweetor, and peace settles down
like turtle dove in their hearts, and
after while lamp posts get more
plentiful and everybody seems more
or less intoxicated, but the hearts of
these two men are filled with name
less JOY, because they know when to
stop and not make themselves rid;cu
lous.-Biu Nye.

The mrmbprs of the harvester trus

The members of the harvester trust
promise the farmers that they will
furnish their machinery to them cheap
er than ever before. The company
will have no agents, the machinery
will be sold to dealers the same as
other articles of merchandise and the
dealer will pay for the goods and dc
his own collecting. This will do away
with all army of collectors and reduce
the cost of the machines to the farmer
If this saving in doing the business is
divided fairly with the farmer It will
prove beneficial, but otherwise the
farmer will gain nothing by the new
arrangement.

A BATTLE OF BRAINS
The Dr. Briggs Heresy Case
 Called Up To-Day.
TWO REPORTS TO BE SUBMITTED.
The Theological World Deeply Interested
 in the Dispute.

It is Said that the Real Question is About
 Revision of the Creed-Dr. Briggs De-
 scribes pr. Shedd as an Iceberg in Flames
 ing to Avert a Trial.
 NEW YORK, May 1.-The celebrated case of Dr. Briggs will come before the New York Presbytery, which meets this afternoon, and the views of that eminent scholar will be discussed and passed upon.
 The committee which was appointed to consider Dr. Briggs inaugural address at Union Theological Seminary last Janu- ary will present it's report and it's recom- mendation. The Presbytery will have to vote on the adoption and disposition of the report, and this will bring up the whole matter for review and discussion.
 The majority report will be averse to Dr. Briggs and will recommend that he be put on trial for the sentiments ex- pressed in the address. The minority, headed by Dr. McIlvaine, will recommend that no action be taken.
 In the main the opposition to Dr. Briggs has come from the anti-revisionists.s sThey will probably be supported by some of the more conservative revisionists. The con servatives reckon verys much on the sup pore of the elders, the lay members. They have impressed, or tried to impress, on these lay members that Dr. Briggs wants to destroy the Bible.
 One of Dr. Briggs friends, gentleman of high authority in the Presbyterian Church and familiar with the whole con- troversy, says the real dispute is about revision of the creed, not about Dr. Briggs.
 Dr. Briggs will be present at the meet ing of the Presbytery, and he and his a new trial. This morning Dr. Briggs 'tas an iceberg in flames, who would ac- cuse even Calvin, and who thinks too much of damnation and too little of re- demption of souls"

world has been met and solved by them, through the application of com mon fairness, and by the duties of a sensible, common love. They have done their part, would that their ex- ample were infectious!
 When they went back to Earlingford on the banks of the Ohio, they found that fire had licked up the old house on the hillside. Either from the em- bers John Earling left upon the decay ing hearth, or by the entrance of some wanderer, it had passed into smoke upon the morning that the yonng man said adieu to it. But they found the sunken graves of John Earrings parents up where the hill rose nearest heaven, but to them it was only thoughts that were unutterable. Yet that spot with its sunken graves and afterwards when green inclosure held it, and snowy spire above it took for its dead the first kiss of morn ing in all that region on its tip, it ever pressed their lives the closer each to each, and into saner, gentler ways
 The land,J twelve hundred acres in extent, and that which had accrued from grazing it, brought fifty thousand dollars; the property that Lawyer Woodman bequeathed John Earling brought fifteen thousands more; the first sum they made their own, the second passed into hands that needed it, and all that has ever come to them, above that first sufficient sum, has fol- lowed on the same sweet. grateful road to those whose lives were better for it. Why shouldn't it? They have enough! millions have not! Were it not best? Is it not beautifulP Is there aught that louder cries, or calls with more heart broken voice, for justice and for succor than mans own fellow-manP Is there in all the world such another need as the evening up of mans material foot ing? Can it come by else than honest living and honest giving? They saw no other present way; but whether their sight were clear, their philosophy true, their method just, their spirits great, l, who have felt the sweetness of their bounty, leave to the gentle heart and clearer head of him who reads.
