ONE OF GODS BLESSINGS.
We Should Value the Privilege of Aiding
"A Friend Into His Life Work.

We should value the Privilege OF Aiding
"A Friend Into His Life Work.
To true man there is JOY in the
privilege of helping forward into promi-
nence and efficiency a better man than
himself, for the doing of a greater work
than he could do. The ability to per-
ceive greatness in another, before it has
been fully recognized by the world at
large, is next best to having greatness
in ones self. 1t was to the lasting
credit OF Sir Humphrey Davy, that,
when he was asked what he counted
his greatest discovery, he replied:
'"Michael Faraday." And even when
one can not claim to be the
dscoverer of another whom he helps
forward into his larger sphere, he can
at least be grateful for the privilege of
doing something to promote his onward
progress. The schoolmaster Trcbonius
did good work in showing loving in
terest in his bright pupil, Martin
Luther. Edward Kimball through his
efficiency in his sphere won share in
all the successes of his Sunday
scholar, Dwight l.. Moody. And of all
that is recorded of John the Baptist,
who was great among the greatest up
to his day, nothing shows his greatness
more convincingly than his glad re-
| joicing over the thought that the One
whom he had heralded would be SO
much greater than himself that
he must steadily diminish in COMPARE
son with Him. John the Baptist was
the friend of Jesus, and a true friend
always rejoices when he can point to
his best loved friend, and say assuredly:
"He must increase, but | must de-
crease" God gives us many and varied
blessings in our life course, but he gives
us no more desirable blessing in the
realm of practical service than the
privilege of aiding into his life-worll a
loved friend, whose ability and good
ness shall bring our best and brightest
work for Christ into the shadow,
through the surprising brilliancy of
| new workers. service S S Times

HOW TO LOOK.
Hunt With Your Eyes and Heart Tor That
Which Is Good and Cheerful.

Hunt With Your Eyes and Heart Tor That
Which Is Good and Cheerful.
1t seems to You that You do not
need to be told how to look at any
thing. And yet, my dear girl, that is
exactly what ,yop do need. You go ont
into world full of wonderful sights
and of many people, and not knowing
how to look, you come back with just
as little knowledge as when you first
started ont. You complain of being
awkward, and yet You have meyer
looked out for the graceful people, that
you may initiate them. You talk of
seeing disagreeable faces, rude people
and unhappiness, but is it not because
you have not looked out for the pleas
ant people, the goodness and the kind
ness of this world? You see some
body who is frowning, and you believe
that all the world is cross. 1t is that
you are not looking at everything as
you Should. Everybody gets that way
once and awhile Sometimes because
some great trouble has come to them,
and everything seems dark and misera-
BILE; sometimes it is because one is not
| we'll physically, and sometimes it is be-
cause one is not well morally.
Now, if you will. you can get the bet
ter of these feelings If you look not
only with the eyes in your head. but
with the eyes of your heart at the
world, you will find that there is blue
sky over your head, that the sun is
shining, and that all over the world
the golden-rod, emulating the sunshine,
is standing up from the grassy walks,
so that even when you look
down there is something to cheer you.
Then with the eyes of your heart
look at the worries and troubles of
other people, and, by comparison with
them, you will find your own burden
so light and your own back so well suit
ed to carry it that satisfaction will
come. After you have done this once
do not look for the troubles again I'M
less you can make them better: instead,
look out for that which is cheerful and
good, and seeing so much that is close
kin to hope and JOY and love and hap
piness twill be reflected in your eyes,
and to many they will seem like the
eyes of the woman loved by great poet
eyes that were immortalized in song
by great woman poet, and called 1.-THE
sweetest eyes that ever We're seen. -

Journal.

The hoops were rusty, and the churn

Most boys who live in the country
have had a tame crow at some stage of
their career, and the verdict seems to
be that a time crow is more tame than
any other living thing. A gentleman
talking about crows the other day, also
said that crows are very brainy ami

strung on q stick in corn field never

Several years ago, this gentleman
said, he was keeping dry-goods store
in Nashville, and owned pet crow.
Little articles were often missed, but
the shoplifter could not be detected,

cash desk, and then | hired detec-

EARNEST workers in the juvenile
temperance work are to be found in
almost all the countries of northern
Europe, while in Gibraltar and Malta

The London police court mission does
q good work by visiting prisoners in
their homes, providing homes and stu

THE Belgian Patriotic League for
the Suppression of Alcoholism has
caused to be written, for representa-.
ton on the stage, drama entitled,
Martin, the Shoemaker; or, The Eff
fects of Drunkenness.
A SUPREME court has rendered de-
cision to the effect that saloonkeeper
who receives his friends on Sunday in
his Office connected with his bar in
another building by archways. but sep
arated therefrom by damask curtains
and barricades, is guilty Of keeping his
saloon open on Sunday.
The saloonkeeper put water. sugar
and whisky in lumber for his Gus
toner. Now, what came out of that
tumbler? In the first place, the GUS
toner's wife got a beating out of it,
and in the second place the customer
himself got six weeks in prison. Beats

A CIRCULAR was sent recently to the
leaders of religious bodies in Leeds,

FASHIONABLE ladies in the city OF

morphine eaters, The police have re-
ceived orders to be very strict in re-
minding the druggists of the city no,
to sell the deadly drug except on orders
signed by medical men. And the drug
gists know the law and are so careful
that the ladies given to the pernicious
habit have been compelled to look Out

have found them at Paris. There are
dry goods stores at that city which con

Animals That Get Drunk.

Close observers have noticed that
flies will gather upon a half-drunken,
sleepy sot, while dozen sober men in
the same room are not moleSted by
them. The flies will buzz around their
subject with great delight, frequently
alighting upon his perspiring face.
Off they go and return again
and again, quafiing the alcoholic
nectar issuing from ibis pores.
After awhile their flight becomes I'M
certain and eccentric, and sometimes
they come in collision. Recently a
drunken man raised his hand and
brushed them from his face. Some fell
to the floor and lay there paralyzed.
After awhile they got on their feet and
YEARLY flew off, half dazed. Perhaps
they had a head on. Many animals
yield to the seduction of rum drinking,
especially elephants, horses, cows and
swine. Poultry, especially turkeys,
will absorb the tempting drink till they
tumble over in leaden sleep, lying
| around as if dead, and utterly ignoring
their accustomed roots. On awaking
they stagger for a few moments and
soon recover, but it is hours before
they renew their cheerful cackling.-

Oh, the rollicking and racket,

Oh, the rollicking and racket,
oh, the gamboling aud gush
And the routing and the shouting
And the showing ana the crush!
Such troiic ing and noise,
Was DER falt day Of freedom
To school OF city boys:
Little Madge upln the crossing,
With her fathers dinner. pail,
Sees the avalanche approaching
And her heart bagins to quail;
Sees the swaying Rnd the pushing,
And the dust RE in the street;
Hears the riotinp End rushing
And the tramp ~ coming feet;
And her slender fingers tighten
On their treasure held in trust;
Then clash, a cry, waver-
hadge and dinner in the DUST
Oh. the peal of careless laughter
That rang out upon the air
When the cause of the disaster
Saw the ruin lying there
Then away for shame upon thsmD
They tore onward like the wind;
Only one of all their number
Only one remained behind.
Out of all those merry fellows,
Cheering, whooping as they ran,
Only one was truly noble,
Only one gentleman.
only one-a glance revealed him
Poorly fed. and meanly clad;
But his heart was big with pity
Staunch and tender little lad.
With a roughened hand, but kindly,
He appraised the frightened child,
Brushed away the dust so gently
From her apron crushed and soiled;
Gathered up the scattered fragments,
Freed them from the clnging earth;
And the care bestowed upon them
Told how well he knew their worth.
Not single word was spoken;
Twas Il simple deed, and small,
But it pleased the One who even
Marks the little sparrow's fall;
And its touch Of human pity
Soothed "one of the least OF these"
And warmed one heart to the laddie
With the patches on his knees.

Miss Ada A. Sprague in charge Of the in
termediate department and Miss Kate
Ward Of the primary department. Miss
Lucy Hartman began six monnth's term

The records of the county superinten-
dent show, as does every thing else pertain
ing to our schools that there has been a
grand revival and awakening of interest in
educational matters throughout the entire
county during the past two years. Within
that time there has been more money ex-
pended IN the building and furnishing of
good, modern, substantial school buildings
than was ever expended for this purpose
Tor all time before. There have been twenty
nVe nice buildings erected and reasonably
well 1urnlShed. Some of the districts have
accommodated themselves to first class
apparatus and appliances in the way of
maps globes, chairs, etc.
During the present administration of
County superintendent Byrne there have
been fourteen new school districts organ
lied, which now sWells the number of dis
tIlcts in the county to fifty-eight, contain
ing altogether about eighty departments
OF rooms.

Tying than in past years, as statistics show
an average increase of $4 per month in
the salary OF male teachers and an in
crease Of Sc per month in the salary OF
female teachers, for the school year ending
June 30, 1892, over the year ending with
the same date in 1891. For the year end
ing June 30 Of the present year, the aver
age salary of male teachers was $50.S5, and
that Of female $42.40 per month

vigor in the public schools ofour county, is
the fact that for the school year Just
ended, the average length of school taught
III each district was increased over the year
before by one month. The average mum
Der of months school was taught through
out the county for the first year referred to
being four and one-half, and for the latter
live and One-half.
Between twenty and twent-fVe districts

social organizations for the Pur-
pose of Mental Improvement.

SOcAaA organization for the Purs
pose of Mental Improvement.
Meetings will be held in various parts of
the city tonight to organize chautauqua
circles for the coming winter as follows:
Eastside, at the residence of Prof. NJ, G.
Royal, on Plnm street; central Olympia, at
the Congregational church, and for the
Westside, at the residence of J. R. Chaplin.
Circulars and papers explaining the
aims and subjects Of the G. L. s. c. and the
special work for each year viii be placed at
the disposal Of those who attend the diff
terent places designated. Although the
course of reading is in a large measure
eclectic, it is quite probable an effort will
be made to map out line of current top
les for discussion. This movement has
gained permanent fOothold in Olympia
as is attested by several facts. Last wear
there was one circle and now it is proposed
to begin with three, located respectively in
the three natural quarters of the city. At
regular Intervals the three societies will
come together and make mutual display
Of accomplishments. The promoters of
general movement look forward to a profit
able year for all who participate.
The invitation to JON included all per-
sons who desire mental improvement and
who deem it rare privilege to meet with
kindred minds and discuss the vital ques-
tiOnS of the age in which we live.
