THE GOLD OF RIGHT HABITS.
This bi-chloride treatment Of gold, my dear

Ofwhich in the papers We read,
Will doubtless bring joy into homes full Of

For many a man, WHO'S travelling down
The hill, that most surely will lead
To death and destruction, will grasp at this
gold,
As drowning men grasp at reed.
But gold can be taken in childhood, my
boy,
Which works in far surer way:
The gold Of right habits, pure thoughts and
Bright bands. growing brighter each days
The gold which is sent from the Father
above,
To shield from the tempter's hard sway,
Each boy, who will take up his stand for the

So seek for this gold in your spring time.
This wisdom and strength from on high.
Then safely you'll walk through the years

For God sends His angel to camp round

And leads him through all Of the dangers Of

KING ALCOHOL IN GERMANY.

= In survey Of the imperial statistics Of the
consumption Of alcoholic drinks In Germany,
DR.. William Bode says that the production
,f the raw material manufactured into wine,
beer or spirits occupies about one.ffteenth
,f the cultivated land Of the Empire. On
This area of farming land enough rye might
Do grown to supply $500 millions OF pounds
,f bread, which would make sixty-six
pounds of bread more year to every one OF
the so, 600, 900 Of people inbabiting Germany,
Or $50 pounds to an average family OF i've.
persons, which is the entire food needed by
the family for nearly fifty days, or about
one-eighth more Of food than they can enjoy
at present. One-fourtsenth Of all the pro-
ductive forces of Germany is engaged In this
pernicious industry. The amount Of money
spent On drink has been estimated at about
Sl20, 600, 900 year, or s2. 40 to each inhabi-
tant, or $12 to each average family OF five.
Professor Schmoller, the economist, says:
"Among our working people the conditions
of domestic Life, Of education, Of prosperity,
of progress or Ssgradation, ara all dspendent
on the proportion Of income which flows
down the fathers throat. The whole con-
dition of our lower aud middle classes-ouei
may, even without exaggeration, say ths
future Of the Nation-depends on this ques-
ton. II it Is true that half our paupers be-
come so through drink, it gives us some
estimate Of the costly burden we tolerate.
No other Of our vices bears comparison with

WAGES OF FARM LABORERS.
The Department or Agriculture Is
sues Report on That Subject.

Secretary Rusk has published report on
the wages Of farm labor in the Cuitel
States. The tables show that in 1866,
monthly farm wages, without board. were
as follows: In Eastern States SSS. 81;
Middle States. $29. 80; Southern States, Sl6 63;
Western States, $27.S4; Mountain States,
1928; Pacific States, -. 60, the average
beng s26S7. Wages were lowest in 1879.
phen the average was sl605. Since then
hey have slowly increased year by year, un-
til at present they are: In the Eastern
States 500 .46, Middle States, S23.33; South
ern States, sl4.s6; Western, S22. 6l; Mount
ain, s32. .16; Pacific, sS6.15. Theaverage per
month for the whole year being SlS.60.
The report says that "a careful analysis
Of all the data collected concerning farm
wages from 1S40 to 1885, in comparison with
results Of the more recent Investigations, will
show that IN fifty years the compensation OF
farm laborers has very nearly doubled"

TIMJLArEG WORK.

God intended us all to be busy. The sun
and moon in six thousand years have rested
only part Of day; and then IT took g
miracle to stop them. Nothing that God
ever made, animate or inauimate, human or
angelic, can afford to quit work. But the
outlay Of human energy often leads to In
ebriation. Men have 50 much to do that
they think they must have artificial stimu-
lus. Vast multitudes OF professional men
have found their nervous system exhausted.
and their brain lethargic, and have resorted
to this dangerous help. Now what man
cannot do without perpetual stimulant 90
not believe he ought to do. You are re-
sponsible for no more strength than thas
which you have in your arm, and Tor no
more speed than you have in your foot, and
for no more vivacity than you have IN your
brain. God asks no more, and the world
has right to expect no more. NotWith.

THERE died in Chicago the other day in
the county hospital an Irishman named
David Reidy who was more than 100 years
old. He was native of Castleisland, Coun-
ty Kerry, and was born in the past CEN
fury. He graduated from Dublin uni
versity and was man of fine education.
His profession was that of civil engineer,
and for many years he was engaged in
English government surveys. He then
taught school 10 Ireland, and twenty-five
years ago went to Chicago. His only
employment was that of making sun
dials, at which he was very expert. The
last one he made was for Carter H. Har-
rison, of whom he was great admirer.
The day before he was taken sick he
started to present the dial to Mr.. Harri-
son, and was greatly disappointed to find
that that gentleman was in New Mexico.
In the fire of 1871 Mr.. Reidy's valuable
library was burned, and the only books
he left we're treatise on astronomy and
mathematics, the typographical appear
ance Of which proclaims it to be at least
100 years old, and bible and prayer
book. About year ago Mr.. Reidy made
application to the board OF education for
q place as teacher in the night schools.
but this was refused him on account 81
his age. He was never married.

WHENEVER the lines have been drawn
closely Ramsey county, at least for the
past ten years, has been good for about
5000 Democratic majority. 1t is so to-
day, with the party perfectly united. In
the face of that fact the Republicans have
succeeded time after time in eleoting
one Bean sheriff of that county, with the
help of Democratic votes, when all else
was lost to them, Yet this same Bean,
who owes all his success to Democratic
votes, was the most active man in the re-
cent campaign in that city to "down the
gang" The Democratic party has been
treated right for catering to such men
and perhaps it has been taught lesson
that it will not soon forget. When the
party again puts up good and loyal
Democrat in that county. for Sheriff,
with Bean as his opponent, there can be
no doubt of the result. Little Bean will
be remembered for his ingratitute, if
nothing more, and shelved, politically,
for his valuable services to the Dem
ocracy of Ramsey.

One of it's provisions is to prevent the
